"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.

Damn shame it had to end this way. I was hoping that he would end his career on a high note--to become the old Mike Tyson again and fight like he did in his prime for his last match. I wasn't expecting it to end like this, with him simply quitting.

He had it all, and he's going to retire completely broke-- he's 40 million in debt.
 

"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.

We all knew deep down he was done for anyways. Who takes a fight where the fighter out weigh him by 40 pounds and is a ft taller. Obviously he needed the money. He said it himself, he doesent have it in him anymore and he doesent want to disrespect the sport anymore. Good luck to him.

someone mentioned this earlier, and it has crossed my mind too. I think Tyson somehow bet against himself and took a dive.

He owes so many people money and needs cash as well. The odds against McBride were so great that anyone who bet on him would have made tons of money.

i doubt tyson would bet against himself. It could be found out and if it was, it was cause him problems, incluidng legal ones as it is illegal to fix a match.

Na can't be. Did you see him at the start of the 6th round? You could see the anger in him, he was hurting that bad inside.

just because the heavyweight division is indeed dead, doesnt mean that the whole sport is dead. You got so many talented fighters in the lighter divisions. eventually therell be another generation of talented heavyweights who will bring the sport into full steam again.
 

"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.

the lower weight division is definitely more exciting, but boxing is boring...... I like show like the contender where the fight is pre-recorded and the viewer only watches the good parts of the fight with music and sound effects... I hate watching title fights where they hug the entire round....I prefer k1 and ufc, although ufc has gone down hil.:down: :down: :down: :down:
