"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.

I remember enjoying the first seasons. Hell, I even enjoyed the last three episodes of Boba Fett because there was a lot of Pedro Pascal in them.

But season 3? D@mn. There´s this youtuber called Endymion or something that sometimes comes up in my feed and I agree with him like 99% of the time. He probably already said this but this season felt so Bait and Switch:

Oh, you thought you were getting another cool Pedro Pascal season? Nah, He gets benched and you get some woke feminist garbage that´s all about this female Mandalorian called Bo Katan, she´s the new protagonist. And if you dont like it you are a mysoginist or something.

Disney used to be cool, man. Before it went woke, feminist, inclusive, etc.

I want to vote with my wallet because its the only language they understand. So Im intentionally not going to the movie theather to watch certain disney movies anymore (which is gonna be most of them, I guess). But with streaming, I guess voting with your wallet is a bit trickier. Its not like I can only pay for cool content (assuming there´s still anything left) and not pay for the woke garbage content. You either have the subscription to Disney+ or you dont.
 

"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.

I didn't hate it as much as some of the youtubers hate it. For me it was a solid meh because the script insults the intelligence of the audience, like when the kid gets regurgitated still alive after having been inside a creature's stomach for over a day. And they don't have enough fuel in their jetpacks to chase the creature, but a few episodes later they have enough fuel to fly into orbit from the surface of a planet. Then again, they had to waste Mandalorian plot content on Book of Boba Fett because that was such a worthless pile of crap.

The only people who are still fans of star wars are those that base their identity around their fandom. You could slap the Star Wars logo on a literal turd and they would still praise it.

I love Mando! Only thing I don't like is the seasons are only 8 episodes long and then you have to wait like a year or more for the next season because they have all these other spin off series they are trying to advance storylines with and provide deeper backgrounds so all of it fits together...

Had Boba Fett, Han Solo, Andor, Bad Batch and a couple other ones I think in between just season 2 and season 3 of Mando...

Watched Boba Fett and Hans Solo and a few episodes of Andor but not the others.

This is the way.

I have spoken.

Season 3 was good. I liked all 3 so far.

Bo Katan is cool, I have no issue with her. The actress is a little old, but I’d hit it. I’m looking forward to Ahsoka… love some Rosario Dawson.

No need to go searching for subliminal messaging in every TV show. Just grab some popcorn and turn your brain off.
 

"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.

Andor had a really cool Heist episode and a really cool Prison Break episode. Everything else was just build up to those episodes but it was a good payoff

Me either...she was part of the ruling family on Mandalore so she is a logical choice to be the lead person in taking back Mandalore and getting all the factions to work together.

And she isn't even the biggest badass of them...The Armorer is although I don't trust her...I think she is going to turn at some point and reveal her true nature which is not good.

Plus I have to say she has a phenomenal ass...definitely don't mind watching her walk away haha

She played Starbuck in the remake of BSG, definitely worth a watch - excellent series. Katee Sackhoff RAWR.
