"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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."
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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...
 

"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.
