I'm 6'2" and dunk a ball two-handed...I'm guessing my vert is about 35".
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
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.
What is your vertical leap?

"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.

If it was 35' you could do alot more than slam it with 2 hands. I went to a College Combine for football, and they had a thing where you smack the hinged markers around jumping off 2 feet. They would subtract that from your reach. And get your vertical. Mine was 34 inchs, I'm 6-4' and can pull off almost any dunk except inbetween the legs.
Almost anyone with average sized arms over 6 foot can dunk with a 28 inch vertical.

I'm 5'10ish. I don't know my vertical but i can jump up on stuff 5' high. Probably more. Thats not much, but I'm a little chubby at the moment with a big butt and a stomach.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Good one Kwah - Lots Of Laughter
I can get rim most of the time, if I'm not fatigued or tired.

Re: .
So, I can do two-handed dunks cleanly and do some OK dunks with it, so I figure I'm at least getting up to 10'11", which is 35" more than 8'1". That is how you calculate vertical leap, my friend. If a 6'0" dude is jumping 28", then his reach would need to be 8'4", which is highly unlikely.
I think you are mistaken, dawg. Do the math...my standing reach is 8'1". To dunk cleanly you need to be at least 8" over the rim and about 10" for two-handed dunks. I can throw down reverses and some other rotation ****, but not 360. If you don't believe you have to be at least 8" over the rim to dunk, go to the gym and throw down a bunch of hard one-handed tomahawks in succession, then look at the red rim mark on your forearm and measure. It will be at least 8" from your fingertips.

Wrong man, When I was a sophmore and played on the basketball team. I was around 6'2 and had recorded my vert at around 28 and a half inchs and I could dunk it easily even in games. All you have to do to "dunk" it is get about half your hand or just your fingers over the rim thats how Shaq slams and you dont have to have huge palming hands to do it. Because if you notice when you slam it's just the fingers that connect with the rim instead of slamming your wrist up on it. A two handed dunk doesn't take much more than single handed dunk. Dominique Wilkins and Jordan only had around a 39-40 inch verticals. Hell Lebron only has a 38 inch vert and his head is soreing above the rim. Of course he is around 6'7.
They have a machine that calculates how high you can jump. Its a little poll with notchs you smack around all being half an inch apart.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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 still think you're wrong man. You can't get a good, clean dunk if only half your hand is above the rim. You certaintly wouldn't be trying dunks in games if that's all you got over the rim. Also, MJ and Nique had verts of 46" to 48" in their primes. I imagine Lebron is about 42". Take a look at the following:

This has some verts of NFL prospects from 2001. I'd be willing to be Chris Chambers can't jump higher than MJ could and his vert is 45". Almost all of those guys are 35"+.
If you only get half your hand above the rim, all you can do is maybe put the ball in the rim, you can't even jam it down hard. I'm pretty sure my vert is around 35".
