Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
was he really? so that ear eating was in retaliation, no kidding.
In a sense. Holyfield did what Holyfield always did, led with his head. However, Tyson headbutted too, and began their first fight by punching Holyfield after the bell. It was retaliation but not righteous retaliation.
I personally believe Tyson is somewhere "on the spectrum" and they (we?) tend to have a very low frustration tolerance. It actually explains a lot about him and I admire how he has done a 180 in life and seems to have found a secure place for himself.
"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.
I'll look that up.
You know what makes these guys look older?
It's that gristled, spotty looking grey and white stubble and short beards they like to grow.
Its untidy and old looking. Why not go with a fresh shaved face?
Or dye it. Even dye/bleach it all white. But a solid colour or smooth shave looks best.
Who told guys that gristly spotty black, white, grey look is preferable? Most guys look sickly with it. Like they're hiding goodlooks.

I shaved off all my facial hair once it started coming in mostly gray. Thought it made me look too old. Funny how the eyebrows stay dark.
I think salt and pepper can be a good look, especially if there's more dark hair. Sometimes a dark beard speckled with silver can look like it's glittering, if you know what I'm referring to.
I don't know but that's cool if you like it. You shaved anyways so you know what I'm talking about.
Why do eyebrows stay dark?
That was pretty thrilling that our man Tyson is in the same good shape. Man, the hours he must be putting in training. That was a hard shove he gave Jericho, lol

It's no wonder he's training so hard, if he knew he was going to have to go up against Le Champion lol.
"Le Champion" is Chris Jericho's current nickname, for the uninformed. He's also gone by other nicknames such as Y2J, and the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah.
thanks, I don't know who that guy is yet.
WWF kind of guy, right?
"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.

It's funny how the beard tends to go gray long before the head hair. I still have a dirty blond/very light brown head of hair, but decades ago my beard turned gray. I wish I could grow a little bit of scruff but it does make me look older.
Why do you miss your scruff? You probably look better with it smoothfaced.
On Tyson, that was somewhat staged obviously, right? Tyson never used props like a ripping tshirt before, right?

Yeah, he was in the WWF until recently. But it's now called the WWE - they lost a lawsuit with the World Wildlife Fund.
I like to support AEW because it's a viable alternative to the WWE (which has dominated pro wrestling for years virtually unopposed).
Yes he did lol. He's no Hulk Hogan apparently.
Most polls say that women find a bit of scruff to be the most attractive look for males. Not every guy can pull it off, however.
Odd thing with polls though. Some polls say clean shaven is the least desirable look for a man (I guess the facial hair indicates testosterone). But I've seen at least one poll which placed clean shaven as the most desirable. So I'm not sure what to think, but I do know scruffy can cause some scratchy lip burn on some girls when you kiss. Especially my facial hair because it comes out like steel bristles. I could probably sandpaper with it.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Weight classes are there for a reason. Canelo is like 154lb
wooh, that's quite the difference.
His hits don't have that iron pamp! power either. I wonder how Tyson developed that, probably the leaping.

As their weight goes up so does the amount of muscle and power. Each of the larger guys hits will have a larger impact and his larger body can absorb more punishment.

"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.
