Dust 2 Dust
Master Don Juan
Nick Diaz is one of the most exciting fighters in MMA. He has alot of heart and goes balls to the wall. I think it's a shame his win over Gomi was nullified because he tested positive for marijuana.
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.
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.
WHAT?!? Let me get this straight...he tested positve for weed, and they took back his win?!? Sh!t, if he was able to beat him while he was high they should have gave him extra kudos!...Dust 2 Dust said:Nick Diaz is one of the most exciting fighters in MMA.

AHHHH I hate people who act like they know what they're talking about. Seriously PRIDE doesn't exist anymore, UFC bought it out. PRIDE when they used to host fights actually put more money into the production, do main card fighters get a special entrance in UFC? No? Thought so. PRIDE wasn't stacked, every good fighter left for UFC since they got paid more. The only good fighter left was few Japanese fighters and Fedor Emelikenko. So now technically UFC has better fighters.Menage a Mi said:I prefer UFC over Pride for a variety of reasons. Pride rounds are too long and the fights are so poorly produced that it takes away from the excitement. With regard to fighters, both organizations are pretty stacked.
I can't stand retarded comments like this. you realize that thc metabolites remain in the fat cells and urine for weeks after you smoke, if you are a regular smoker. no pro fighter, especially not one as good as diaz, would smoke before a fight. he did say that he smokes after training to ease the pain and relax, instead of popping a bunch of vicodin or drinking. I have boxed high and not high, and i'm more crisp and aggressive when not high.Ken785 said:WHAT?!? Let me get this straight...he tested positve for weed, and they took back his win?!?

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.

I know..it was too bad PRIDE killed themselves with shady business men. The entrances were beautiful...who gets an entrance with big titan trons flashy white lights and snow falling from the ceiling in the UFC?...no one.Nip/Tuck said:AHHHH I hate people who act like they know what they're talking about.

I am well aware that UFC acquired Pride. When I was referring to the production value of Pride, I was not talking about how people enter the ring.

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.
