Senior Don Juan
I was just wondering if anyone here watches it? and if so who is your favorite fighters?
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I'm ordering that tomorrow night.Skel said:If anyone cares here is the upcoming ufc card this saturday

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.

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.
It's not acting. I don't know anybody famous, but training partners of mine have fought on at least the undercards of UFC and strikeforce shows. And they are no actors. I have also sold many thousands of tickets in person at amateur events. Not one person has ever complained that a fight was not real. We actually do a lot to conceal the level of violence when it gets ugly; it is supposed to be an all-ages show.goundra said:it's still mostly jusst acting. when guys who caan REALLY kick, etc, go into the ring, it's OVER in a few seconds, and somebody is maimed for life. Fans won't PAY to see that, much, anyway, so it all has to be stretched out for several minutes (most of the time, at least). So it's bs, acting, for themost part.
LOL my friend fought Diego Saraiva down at Wild Bill's Fight Night in Atlanta. He ended up opening his own gym in SC.Skel said:Preliminary Bouts:
