"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm wondering if we can merge some of these rasslin (WWE) threads lol? I wanted to bump this as AJ Stylez won the WWE Title back tonight. Thanks goodness. That fvcking Jinder Mahal bullshyt was so annoying. How the hell does this guy go from literally being a JOBBER, straight jobber, to straight to being WWE Champion and beating Cena, Orton, and Shinsuke?

AJ Stylez should have been WWE Champion going into Wrestlemania 33 earlier this year, he should have never lost it at Royal Rumble. I'm hoping they allow him to carry it into Wrestlemania 34 and successfully defend it at Wrestlemania 34. Give this guy a CM Punk like title reign of over a year.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Oops, that's what I get for reading this before watching Smackdown lol. Doesn't matter, spoilers have never bothered me much. I didn't mind Jinder Mahal as much as some people, but obviously Styles is the most deserving guy on that roster to be champ. I guess that means Styles will be fighting Lesner at Survivor Series also, which is a much more intriguing match than Lesner/Mahal.

Yes, Jinder has improved and could have been a solid mid-card act. He could have even won the US Title and remained it the Indian Title for more "heat" or something. But the WWE Title picture on Smackdown should have been centering around AJ the entire year in my opinion.

But I don't think Vince is done with Jinder, he might give the title back to him shortly.

The Attitude Era was definitely the most entertaining wrestling ever was. But people bring their families to see wrestling, and the network doesn't like the more extreme stuff, so they're under pressure to keep it PG now. A lot of people say it can never go back to that, but I don't agree.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Anybody watch NJPW? I feel like that's where wrestling is at right now. Good mix of Japanese wrestlers with some American and British stars. Ol' JR and Josh Barnett on commentary. It's on AXS TV and I have enjoyed it when I catch it...which is usually really early or really late.

I was just going to post this, but you beat me to it. Great documentary on a fascinating character, very well done.

A lot of guys here swear that if you hit the gym and get bigger, women will be beating a path to your door, because women like muscles. And there's no denying being physically fit has many benefits. But I think of Jinder Mahal as an example of how a guy can get ridiculously bulked up, but he still lacks charisma and is still (to my eyes at least) a rather ugly looking man. That's just my opinion though, maybe he gets plenty of smoking hot women, although if he does is probably because of what fame he has rather than hitting the gym (or juice).

I wanted to bump this WWE thread.

I took a chick to see "rasslin" over here in Detroit back in December. I bought my BIG GOLD BELT to the arena and I got so much attention, complements, etc. lol.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
