"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.

Yeah, Wright V BHOP would be a snoozefest, but definately real interesting to watch the chess match unfold!

Rematch with Vargas, na, that was not Wright at his prime, a prime Wright would beat this version of Vargas relatively easily IMHO. Vargas is shot now, and at middle, doesnt look quiet as strong or as powerful as he did at junior middle.

Fenech said he is pretty much just trying to get Tyson to beleive he CAN go the 12 rounds again. Not just loose heart after he doesnt stop his opponent in 4. This is very smart, cause this is all Tyson needs to do to be an animal again, not to mention, Fenechs fighters are always in great condition! He works them very hard in the gym, just like he used to work himself (and as everyone saw, Fenech made his legacy off simply being a punching machine)!!!

UFC, yeah I dont follow that too much. I watch some of the tapes, but just get annoyed with all the grappling and wrestling on the ground. Just not as entertaining IMO, but every man to his own.
 

"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.

And if any of you have got any links with updates about Tyson and Fenech and how the training is progressing i would appreciate if you post them here. i have been trying to find updates but maybe Tyson's camp is keeping it all hush hush or the websites i go to simply suck for boxing news lol.

Tyson will never get back to his best. His days are over.

I have seen quiet a bit of news on him, cant remember which sites though, it was either secondsout.com or boxingtalk.net

Also check the message boards on boxingtalk.net, there is an entire board just on Mike Tyson. Should find a wealth of info there. I used to be a HUGE Tyson fan, but now I just hate the heavies in general.

Yeah, definately a great fight! Are you from Austraila Jayer? Not many people have seen this fight that I have encountered. Only person I ever knew had this fight was my great grandad, who lived in Australia and followed boxing at the time. A few of the other huge boxing fans I know in the US and Mexico have never seen this fight. Then again, some others of them I have never really talked about it with.

Nelson was a huge huge puncher, Fenech was just a relentless workhorse! Both were great great fighters!
 

"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.
