neanderthals: both genders
"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.

"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.

More advanced than a neanderthal. More like the "Predator" or "Terminator".
ugh
I'll rewatch Predator after unpacking. I want to watch Terminator again. I saw that modern one a couple months ago. Different flavour, different......mostly I wanted to see Linda Ha milton's comeback as a fit older chic. Wasn't disappointed.

Tyson was basically talking about how he saw Brad Pitt dating Robin Givens, it was after they were already divorced but still.
"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.
oh. What did either one see in her?

Tyson was a kid. Like 20 yrs old so he didn't know any better.
a
She literally seduced him then.
aww, yeah, that movie described him as shy and awkward but highly sexed as a teen around girls.
She literally seduced him then.

She stole him and mothered him.

Shannon the cannon is still out there at 48 or 49. If he gets in shape he will dominate many in that age group. Its about power, technique, speed and control.

That's a hell of a disrespect that he could only dominate Alan from the hangover.

I'm a huge boxing fan and am very knowledgeable on the fight game of 1970's-1990's, and some recent too.
A few thoughts:
Hitting the pads and a short video clip is a lot different than training for a 10 or 12 round fight. At BEST, maybe, just maybe, Tyson could be on an undercard and fight a few 4 or 6 round fights with club-level boxers like Eric "Butterbean" Esch did in most of his fights, though Esch did have a fight vs Larry Holmes and a few good boxers. Put Mike Tyson in there with Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder and he'd get hurt bad. Father Time is undefeated.
When I first saw this story I was intrigued and then a few days later Holyfield said he was going to do a few exhibition fights for charity. So why not have Tyson (54) vs Holyfield (57) III with a few modifications:
- 6 round fight
- both wear headgear
- 2 minutes between rounds
- 14 or 16 oz. gloves
- Sport celebrity judges: Brett Favre, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan
- Money raised goes to COVID-19 relief or George Floyd Foundation or something else that's relevant right now.
I'd absolutely buy/watch it.

Tyson with 6 months of conditioning and sparring CAN fight some of the less seasoned pros. And he will be in great shape. His boxing style is dominant and will cause issues.

So i run a 4.25 40, 425lb bench, 42" verticle and im 47, 220lb. Solid muscle im not gonna be able to ball with less physically dominant and slower younger cats?
"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.
Congrats mr gs, keep up the good work.
You can do anything you set your mind to do.(say this to my own brother too)

I cant do that 40 or verticle. I was making an example. Athleticism and skill has to do with your performance characteristics not age. Yes they normally do drop with age. But for example Darrell Greene ran a 4.42 40 yd for his 50th birthday with no training. Thats still NFL speed. Tyson being put into great physical condition will be a problem for less seasoned pros and he will smoke amateurs.
I'm not too sure what feat you refer to with 42" vertical. What's that exercise?
Since studying Tyson recently I agree he is more than capable of smoking even seasoned pros. Not popular with other boxing fans with more spectator experience but its my belief you never lose those skills(performance characteristics).
mrgoodstuff
Master Don Juan
The skills will be there. He has to get to world class conditioning.
Vertical is how high an athelete can jump from a stand still. 36" and up us great. 40" and up is superb.
Oh yes, watched a bit of Chris Barnard doing that on youtube. Great for layups in basketball...to develop that.
Saw him go from sitting to bounce right up in front of him on gym boxes.
Cool you can do that too.
"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.
