"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.

Regardless the fact that they begun as car robbers/street racers then moved to band of brothers and finally working as the avengers...I feel like anytime I watch these movies my IQ temporarily drops.

What do you think?

Here the trailer from the first one:
 

"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 like these movies. They are funny and also helped me with game a little. Blackdragon did a post about the movies years ago about how the men in these movies reflect a woman’s fantasy of the family man alpha who doesn’t cheat and yet is also alpha and not a desperate beta

They wouldn't have been this successful if they kept it at street racing for 8 movies. That would get old really quick. Whoever had the idea to turn it into some superhero car heist movie deserves credit for saving the franchise

That's the real female fantasy IMO, to be married to someone like The Rock, but he won't cheat.
A great man, a great lifestyle for her other friends to envy.

I wish they used Vin Diesel to make as many sequels of Riddick movies instead, I'm starving for more of that. I find it ridiculous that they kept fast and furious going for so long.

Just looked this up. Vin Diesel's real name is Mark Vincent.

You know, I always thought his name was actually Vin Diesel.
Not sure where you found that, but his real name is actually Mark Sinclair, not Vincent.

Edit: Huh, apparently it's Mark Sinclair Vincent. Most sources don't mention Vincent to be part of his name though oddly enough.

If you walk into this franchise with a critical mind, your gonna find faults, just suspend your disbelief for 2 hours and have some fun
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

None of their movies as of late have disappointed. Great action movies with some soul in it.
