"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.

Anybody have anything to say about the football World Cup qualifiers? Tiny Northern Ireland, 116th in the world and a "statelet" of 1.7 million people, beat 7th-ranked England 1-0 in Belfast. I never thought I'd abandon the English like this, but well done to Norn Iron. It really WAS just like watching Brazil. That's the real magic of football right there, and why the whole world loves this beautiful game. I have a lot more to vent about the ridiculously abysmal performance by England, but I was curious about what the rest of you thought about the action all over Europe.

Damnit... at least the cricket starts tomorrow...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

About England - lets face it, Sven's a complete and utter joke.
None of his tactics make the slightest bit of sense - that 4-5-1 with Rooney on the left wing was never gonna work, he didn't go for the standard 4-4-2 because it would have required him to make a tough decision about who to drop out of midfield (i.e. one of Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham and Wright-Phillips).
Personally, considering Lampard's not been on form recently, and the fcat that he doesn't seem to play well with Gerrard, I'd have left Lampard out, played Cole left, Wright-Phillips right, and Gerrard and Beckham in the centre (trust me, I took Crewe Alex into Europe on Championship Manager :D )
But fvcking Sven, lets please just get him out, hes sh!te!

when bielorussia scored a goal after 4 minutes, i was extremely worried, then within 10 minutes, our beloved luca toni scored 3 goals and mauro camoranesi gave us the 4-1 just before the end of the first half:)
viva l'italia!




p.s.: nice job adriano, with another 3 goals after the 3s scored against treviso last week

Mexico beat the crap out of Panama, 5-0. And is in first place, USA in second. Yeah, US beat us last game, but they lost as visitors.

Oh, and Netherlands rocked hard. They seem to be back bigtime.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Jay-X,

Do you think Scotland can make it out of Italy's group? I used to laugh at any sentence with the words "Scottish" and "football" in it, but Walter Smith must've done something to those boys. I really think they can make it.

i doubt you can get to the 1st place, since we just have to draw in a home match against slovenia or moldova:)
but i think you should get to the 2nd place: i saw your match against us and you were really good compared to lots of other teams i saw
