"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.

"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.
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.
"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.
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?
"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.

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.
"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.

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.

Master Don Juan
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.
