"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.

I'm carribean.. but pretty light skinned. But not really whites only, its everyone, believe me.. White, black, spanish, flipino, all flavors get is just as bad.. in that latin kings incident, my buddy who is hispanic was shot, the bullet missed, but left a big scar on his a$$.. i guess its funny in a way. Since i've been back for the summer, i hear the grammar school kids have a new gang called the "wolves". They have already put 4 people in the hospital.
 

"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.

blackbelt that was a good story but I'm having trouble picturing it.. How can if he threw a jab and you blocked it, why did you have to duck?

I agree, at my school we spend a lot of time learning blocking for punches, but most of them are not going to be all that effective against a good boxer because a trained fighter throws his punches and recoils within a fraction of a second. I can probably pop off about 6 jab/cross strikes within one second, maybe more. A serious boxer can do better. How is anyone going to effectively block those? Blocks work best against untrained fighters who use swinging punches that are easily detectable. If I'm fighting someone who is quick with their straight lefts and rights better to just duck or weave to the side to break his momentum if he's releasing a barrage of strikes.

my bad, i misunderstood what you meant.. when i said my hands came up, i mean they came up to blcok my face from getting hit, not to block his punch. you have your arm tucked behind your ear so that your bicep and forearm meet and block the side of your head
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
