"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Anyone here love Top Gear?
 

"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 love that show. I usually just watch clips on YouTube, I'm not sure if they show it on my cable. I love it when they test out the supercars, makes me a little jealous though :mad: lol. They've also done some cool tests like the Range Rover vs. a Tank, Evo vs. Bobsled, and how to kill a Toyota.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I hate how they don't have it in the US yet, it's such an awesome show. My favorite is the one where they build limos... by cutting cars in half.

Apparently in early january NBC gave the green light for a pilot episode of the US version of Top Gear. Unfortunately, from what I've read, and I'm not kidding, it's going to be called "Gear".

Top Gear rocks! I love all three of them.

As far as the American version goes, I thought Jeremy made it clear that he didn't want to live in America for any period of time.

Yeah, the American version is going to have a whole new set of people. That's the big controversy over the US version of the show, as to whether or not the 3 presenters are what make up Top Gear (they totally are) and if it could even be done again with 3 different people.

Yeah Clarkson refused to live in the US to make top gear their, and rightly so, im not losing the only good thing on TV for another country to ruin.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
