"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.

whether sports helped get the chickies interested in you :rolleyes:
Tennis didn't get a lot of panties to drop. In high schools, it's a 2nd or 3rd tier. Football and basketball are the kings.

College tennis players don't do that well compared to other sports either. The elite pro tennis players can get some pusssy. Roger Federer didn't do well with a longer term girlfriend in terms of looks.

American Football, I played free safety but sat on the bench for all years except my senior year. Went to a high school in Atlanta that has produced NFL stars so that was one reason for it.

Played some Tennis as well but could not commit to it fully since I played football.

What positions in each?

I wish I played more soccer growing up, the footwork you get from it is insane.
I wish I played soccer growing up, yes the footwork would have helped me out tremendously in basketball and boxing.

I think soccer might have been the original sport.

Anyways, with sports, with the playing time….A lot of it boils down to one being good at what you do but ALSO politics. In some cases the guy who is decent at his position and kisses the coaches butt, goes to team functions and outings is going to get more playing time than the quiet, great player who keeps to himself and don’t mingle with the team. That’s why it’s important to communicate with your coaches and teammates to know how you could play better as a team.

A great coach is someone who puts his ego aside and knows how to differentiate.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The footwork that soccer players have is unreal, it's no wonder dudes like Anderson Silva (former soccer player in Brazil) did so well in MMA.

Basically being the quarterback at any TX high school where skill means nothing but the network is everything. The position itself is so subjective because you can mask a bad QB with a good run game and a great defense.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Played Football aka soccer all my life. Most, if not all, countries outside the USA consider Football a religion. So you are born into it, grow up with it, and become one with it. I had the chance to play professionally until I got into a car accident.

I still play competitively 11v11 and 7v7 but obviously at an Intermediate/Advanced level, just not professionally which I think would have been pretty sweet.

High school football, on the worst team my school had in 50 years. I was a pulling guard and had fun mowing unsuspecting peeps over. The only thing my team did well was cheap shots. We enjoyed decking punt returners who weren't paying attention.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
