"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm from Philly, and to be honest, I think that we have had it the toughest. We have had to deal with constant failure from all of our sports teams. The people in Chicago can say "well, look at the Cubs, we've never won a world series". Well, the Phillies have won one time, and that was 26 years ago. Not to mention that Chicago has the Bears, who had that great run in the 80s AND the Bulls, who dominated the NBA in the 90s. Philly hasn't won a championship, WITH ANY OF OUR 4 SPORTS TEAMS, in 24 years! Nobody can compare to that. Even Boston, who complained about their Red Sox not winning a wolrld series, had the Pats, Bruins, and Celtics dominate at one time. Our plight has been long, ridiculous, and often overlooked. I can honestly say that no other city has experienced this type of dismal performance.
 

"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.

I think its Toronto. Struggling in NBA, MLB and now NHL too :(. And CFL isn't too great either.

I believe that Omaha has it worst.

We don't even have any professional sports. We've got the Omaha Royals? Woooo. AAA team to the KC Royals I believe, and wow, look at the talent there :/

Philly has the 6ers, who went to an NBA final in the past 10 years. They've got the Eagles who went to a SuperBowl a couple years back. They've got the Phillies, well, they at least have them.

My city has nothing.

But until this year, New Orleans had it pretty bad...Saints, Hornets...

Nevada is one of the fastest growing states in america...we have NO sports teams whatsoever. We have to drive to cali or arizona to even see a professinal sports team.

We do have boxers though and a motor speed way so we get nascar races from time to time. There are roumors that they're going to turn las vegas blvd and some other portions of vegas into an indy car track for a race. That would be prety sick.

Still no pro sports teams kinda sucks.
