neanderthals: both genders
"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.

"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.

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.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
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 stole him and mothered him.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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?
"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.
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.
"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.
