"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Does anybody else watch this show? What do you think about this seasons fighters?
 

"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 was glad when the black guy got booted off. He reminded me a lot of Chris Lebon from last season! They both talk way too much trash and the funny thing is, they couldn't back it up!

Leben holds titles in 3 MMA organizations and now he's a full time UFC fighter. In his last fight he defeated Canadian light heavyweight champ Patrick Cote.

The fights thus far on this season have all sucked azz except for the stevenson fight and last week's fight.

The UFC heavyweight division is weak right now because all the best heavyweight MMA fighters are in Pride.

I don't care what he holds! I've seen him fight; and each and every fight i've seen him fight in has been a snooze fest! I will be shocked if he lasts long in the UFC!

What are they paying guys in the UFC/PRIDE?

Don't give up on Leben just yet. He's fighting live on Spike TV Oct. 3rd.

Pay scales depend on who you are and how good you are. A level fighters in Pride such as Royce Gracie can make up to a million per fight. Ken Shamrock is currently the highest paid fighter in the UFC and he gets 460K per fight.

Pay per view fighters in the UFC get about 10K per fight to start until they prove themselves worthy of bigger pay days.

THe reason why i ask, a guy that goes to my gym has fought in the UFC (on pay-per-view) and he still lives with his parents.

Those guys are sooooooo underpaid considering the amount of training and skill level required to be successful!

I liked when Josh beat Melvins ass even with a broken bone.

I hated his ugly ****y ass, and I got to see him get beat.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

There are probably thousands of MMA fighters in the US, but only a handful make it to the UFC and Pride to fight full time. Entry level fighters in Pride make about 30k per fight to start and get their purses doubled when they win fights.

Most guys I know that compete in MMA do it as a part time job fighting in local shows for the extra money and maintain full time jobs outside the sport.

If you're serious about competing in MMA then you should definately have Muay Thai included into your game.

Who is your friend, if you don't mind me asking?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

But, I think he was a little over his head when he fought Vitor Belfort in pride 13.

Yes, I know who he is. He got choked out by Vitor in Pride in less than a minute I believe.
