"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.

"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.

take a break and think for one minute. is a billion dollar industry just a game? is it just a game when the life of many people in the whole world revolves mainly about soccer espicially the poorer people who have nothing else? is it just a game when people beat each other up because of it? when people even got killed because of it? when "whole nations" get mad and depressed when they miss qualifying to the WC?but yeah it's not that i see things as how they are it is that i have problems with taking it to serious. i never said my life revolves around soccer and it does not but your life does and the life of many other people too so dont ridicule yourself with saying it's only a game nothing more.
No problem, I look forward to having one also.
Lets see, history means NOTHING, because it is just that, HISTORY! We are talking about comparing a team now, and another team from NOW. Not as past great uraguayan team.
Like I said, the Aussies are not all in form, how about Alvaro? The man is fat and a shell of his former self. How about their old azz captain?
How about our keeper? How about Cahill?
Home means nothing? You had better check your statistics on that and not just give me a few examples. We are talking on aggregates here, not about the one offs.
Looks like your prediction was a wild one, and is why I laughed. We are through to the WC and because we OUTPLAYED uraguya, YES OUTPLAYED them. If they were so dominant over Aus why have they a loosing record against us? 4-3 to us I beleive? Why have the last 4 matches shown that Australia is just as good as uraguy, with posession and gameplay being equal? How did this leave you to beleive Uraguay would trounce Australia?
You said yourself, your prediction was a "feeling", exactly that, hence why I laughed. It made no logic whatsoever.
History means nothing, as far as a 1 v 1 matchup TODAY. Exactly what the thread topic was asking, did I type my thread topic saying, who has been better throughout history, Uraguay or Australia? NO.
Either way, your brash prediction was obviously that, a brash unthrought reply.
Please justify how you thought Uraguay was going to win 4-0 in Australia? And if you want some examples of home ground meaning a lot, how about you look at home team world cup results of recent times? France winning in France. Japan and South Korea setting all-time records at home. How about England? Wasnt their only WC win IN England? (not sure about that one, but I beleive so).
I have also played soccer at a high level for several years, and have a lot of mates who play internationally.
Maybe your soccer knowledge is more than mine, but there is NO knowledge that could justify a 4-0 win for Uraguay IN Australia, I dont even think a confident Uraguayan would predict such a thing.
Look forward to that convo.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yea, no crap. I saw on the news that one of the Aussie players said there was a tiff between a Uraguay player and Australian player. The 2 players were angry about something (I think they bumped into each other, don't quote me) when both the teams were walking in the tunnel leading to the field. It ended up with a player being 'held' onto by the neck.
I was shocked when I saw the interview on tv!
