"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.

Silva-Forrest was LOL :D Its not too often that I laugh that hard. Anyone notice Silva's reaction to all the boos before the fight started? hahah

Hendricks fight was not stopped early, he had that guy fried regardless.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I love how Silva dropped his hands and baited Griffin to come after him, all the while floating just inches away from the punches. It was like watching a cat bat a mouse around before biting its head off.

Anderson Silva ROCKS!!! Best pound 4 pound MMA fighter in the UFC. What I like about him too is that he's a nice dude as well and a good sportsman. I hate straight up douchebag assh0les like Brock Lesnar. Now if only Fedor would sign so he could come in and chew Brock head off and spit it in the audience.
 

"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.

Love his facial expressions too especially when people booed him. Fedor vs Sylvia, then we will know who's the pound for pound.

Hendricks/Sadollah fight was early. The punches while Sadollah was on the ground either missed or grazed his head. Dan Miragliotta didn't have a good angle as he was behind Hendricks.

Before watching this fight, i thought Silva was good but a bit overrated, but seeing how he dismantled that tough SOB Griffin with ease, i really don't see anybody challenging him in his weight class or even light heavyweight. He'll have his belt for a long time.

Totally agree. Miragliotta is the worst ref. in MMA. He botches half the fights he officiates. Steve Mazzagatti is also a terrible referee.

None of the upcoming middleweight opponents look very good for Anderson. I have no interest in seeing a rematch with Dan Henderson or Nate Marquart. The only middleweight that could possibly be a threat to Anderson Silva is Yushin Okami who's beaten Anderson before. Japanese fighters have been Anderson's Kryptonite. 3 of Anderson's 4 losses have been against Japanese fighters.

I really want to see Anderson fight the winner of Machida/Shogun for the title too.
 

"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.

Yeah I certainly recall Silva being declared the best by White, but White talks trash about Fedor now because Fedor refused to sign papers which would allow UFC to own him. The only people that hate the fans are the UFC execs.
