"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.

Belcher v Akiyama fight -- wow, inexcusable. the UFC is a business, I guess we can never forget that. Lesson to American fighters: when facing a popular foreigner, the fight must not make it to decision, because the judges will screw you the best they can to appeal to new audiences.

Henderson v Bisping - Bisping got the same judge-bias win off Matt Hamill in '07 that Akiyama got off Belcher tonight. It was exhilarating to see Henderson put him to sleep. And man, did he SLEEP!! lol!

St. Pierre fight-- knew the outcome the moment I looked at the matchup, no surprises.

Lesnar vs Mir -- Eeeesh, I was so sad to see that outcome. I expected and wanted Mir to win. Lesnar is one bitter angry brute, I never expected to see him act like he did...

Fitch v Thiago - It was refreshing to see a technical fight, after all the ground-n-pound and striking that characterized all the prior fights.
 

"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.

Belcher got robbed. The judge who scored it 30-27 for Akiyama must be blind.

Michael Bisping had no chance in that fight. Dan Herderson was out of his league in every facet of the game. That KO was so sweet.

Lesnar really surprised me. I didn't think he would dominate the way he did.

Fedor has one more fight left on his Affliction contract. Dana White has said that he wants to put on Fedor v Lesnar. I think everyone in the world hopes that fight will happen. I also think Fedor would destroy The Vanilla Gorilla.

Are contractual obligations the only reason Fedor hasn't been on UFC?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

That's exactly what I suspected, thanks for the link.
