"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Big one coming up tonight, who you got?

I'm British but I want Usyk to win, and I think he will. too skilful for fat overrated Fury.
 

"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.

"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.

The ref definitely saved him from an embarrassing KO
wasn't the 1st time either. (Wilder 1)
Ref was also a little suspect letting him grab the ropes throughout the bout and never even warned about it.
The fight game will always be crooked, just glad Usyk didn't get robbed.

I think after Deontay lost to Parker he was also exposed as a bum/basketball player. He's fighting Zhang next, I think he has a good chance of winning as Zhang can't evade that big right hand.

I want AJ v Usyk 3 - I think AJ could win given his new aggressive approach with Ben Davison as his coach.

Sadly Usyk is 37 and I think he retires soon having completed Cruiserweight and Heavyweight with a biiiig bag in his bank.

This was a very good fight, i think Fury was overconfident, if he adjust he could pull it off in the next rematch.

Fury got robbed in the first fight, which he clearly won.

he was not protected by the ref, that’s sour grapes.

Wilder is a crap fighter, he waddles around the ring winding up his right hand as it’s the only thing he has.

Judges/ref in all fights helped Wilder, the count was a normal count, the only reason the yanks don’t like it is they knew the only way that deadbeat was going to win was one lucky punch, and desperately needed a quick count.

That judge who scored the first fight for the Dosser should never ref again. Anyone who watched that fight knew Fury made Wilder look like a pub slugger.

Usyk won that fight recently but don’t try to rewrite that absolute deadbeat boxer to have had refs against him when if it wasn’t so corrupt in his favour it should have been 0-3 Fury.
Wilder is a terrible fighter, he has no good wins on his record arguably except Ortiz who was 40 years old and also has no good wins. Parker and Zhang have exposed him. Fury went life and death with him 3 times . Fury got sparked by Ngannou in his debut boxing match . Fury nearly had his eye taken out by rank 30 Wallin (ref should have stopped that fight). Fury got sparked by Cunningham (smaller than Usyk). Fury lost to John McDermott in their first fight. Fury recently was humiliated and KO’d standing by Usyk.

if I haven’t made it clear, Fury is a hypejob and has no chance in the rematch. Luke Fury needs to retire after AJ renders him unconscious. He has held back the heavy weight division far too long. Dining out on the Wlad win (hug, grab and run) lowest punch output for a heavyweight title match and most boring fight I’ve ever seen. Then the wilder trilogy which was life and death with a basketball player/windmill.

Biggest conman and hypejob in boxing. Zhang prob KO’s him in 6, Dubois is a 50/50, AJ inside 7/8, maybe we will get to see Wilder or Chisora 4 - free on YouTube on the AJ undercard thanks to Turki :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Uh oh Fury fanboy alert. "Dosser" .. LMAO
TBF I've got no dog in that fight, the division is better off without both of them.
