"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.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
