"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Beside the fact that I forgot everything that happened before but..is it me or it starts to look like a teenage drama show?

All these teenage girls and pre post wall women arguing with over colored soyboy elves.

Anyone has an opinion on it?

Basically that poor bastars of henry cavil was supposed to slaughter monsters and dragons yet he is a half way between a baby sitter and a servant.
 

"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.

It happened the same to me kinda, I watched the first season which was decent but nothing worth running to to see, then dragged through the second but this third one is really heavy to watch...it's like a soap opera with a wizard once in a while.

I'll probably drop it.

Also the witcher gets less and less minutes by the episode.

Making the show all about Ciri was a huge mistake, the second I saw them hinging the entire narrative on her, I knew they were severely limiting themselves and their ability to tell a story in this universe.

The conflicts in the source material are rarely about Monsters, Geralt has been studying and hunting Monsters all his life, he has most of the answers already, understands most of the time what needs to be done, watching him pull the answer out of his ass is only entertaining from a female perspective, it's no different than super man, the real conflicts both Super Man and Geralt experience are with human beings, not necessarily the things that threaten the human beings.

At any point in time you could lean into the narrative of being a monster hunter, for them to have the Ciri narrative while focusing on homie being a monster hunter is so out of tune with the entire theme of the source material, they could of introduced Ciri or Monster hunting at any point in the story and instead focused on cultivating the interpersonal tension Geralt experiences as a sub human, instead they just blew their load in the first and 2nd season... What could season 3 possibly offer at this point.

A show called "the witcher" where the witcher is a secondary character cause the whole story is based on a teenage girl learning spells from an other woman after countless hours of introspection and feeling sharing while random people we dont even remember look for her.
 

"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.
