"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

By the second half, Joakim Noah was starting to have some fun - at the expense of the Bruins. He smiled, winked and even blew a kiss to UCLA cheerleaders who mocked him on college basketball's biggest stage.

"They were talking a lot of trash," Noah said. "It was crazy. They were just talking crazy to me, like, 'You're so ugly.' I mean, it hurts when you have so many beautiful girls out there just telling you how ugly you are and stuff.

"When somebody is screaming all that stuff at you, the best thing I could do was blow a kiss, and maybe they like me."
 

"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.

That's the nature of the game, it's their job to harass the other team's players. Too bad they couldn't deter Noah's 6 monster blocks in that massacre of a national championship. UCLA's number was up after the tip off. I'm sure Noah had (and is still having) his fair share of hot broads at UF, and i'm sure the ULCA cheerleaders will enjoy getting with there "attractive" second place bruins back in california.

Why do they even have cheerleaders? Are the athletes so stupid they're gonna go, "Oh man, some half-naked chicks are cheering me, I've suddenly gained more confidence!"

Why not spend the cheerleaders' salaries on perks for the players? (like hookers)

The first cheerleading squads were all dudes.


http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpompoms.htm
The first cheerleaders were organized by Princeton Pep club member Thomas Peebler. The six cheerleaders performed at a Princeton University vs University of Minnesota American football game on November 2, 1898. The head cheerleader was Johnny Campbell and all six cheerleaders were men. Women cheerleaders did not appear until the early 1920s.
 

"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.

Those comments must have really hurt, considering that his team won the National Championship, he is MVP of the tourney, and he's going back to his homestate to f*ck every hot girl on campus.

I say hats off to Noah, instead of talking trash back he winked, then ruined UCLA's sh1t on the court where it matters.

college cheerleaders don't get paid and the pros i think maybe get 50 bucks a game

and yeah I think cheerleaders are pointless and those girls won't think he's so ugly (which he is) when he signs his NBA contract

Noah's has some class.

They discussed this on 'Best Damn Show Period' last night, got a good crackup from the audience. I guess we could all relate to hot chicks calling us ugly, eh? ;)

I'm just thinking though... there's nothing a couple million dollars can't fix. Plus he has braces, so ANYBODY loses appeal with that. Once they're off, he'll be aight.

Only if a multi-million dollar contract could buy a world championship.... hmmm...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
