"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.
Actor/Comedian Robin Williams Found Dead

"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.

Sad indeed. Love him in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. I remember watching that thinking "how could a woman (Sally Fields) be so cold hearted to a man (Robin Williams). There is no way that bad of a divorce will happen to me". Shucks that was nothing compared to what most of us have been thru in real life. Peanuts by comparison.

Good point, they did draw a little attention to the plight of the divorced father in that film. Maybe not a red pill movie, but maybe purplish.logicallefty said:
Good flick, regardless, very funny. I think there were talks of making a sequel, guess we won't get one now.
"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.
the report now is that he hung himself.
kind of ironic that in the move father's day, he was dale putley a depressed and suicidal author who tried to hang himself in the beginning of the film, he was about to hang himself, then he had to stop because the phone rang, he went to answer it, can't laugh at that anymore.
he was also depressed in one hour photo, someone said the dark characters he played was actually how he felt himself in real life. he has two movies coming out, they were going to film mrs. doubtfire 2.

heavy? he was no heavy, he was sy parrish, a shy lonely mild mannered depressed photo developer at savmart who became obsessed with a family, he made extra copies of their pictures, put them up on his wall, they became his fantasy family, he got fired by bill for doing that, he stalked them, then turned on them.samspade said:

Robin Williams had a LONG history of alcohol and substance abuse. As a performer, I cherish the loss. Most people knew him as just that, a Hollywood performer. His death is incredibly blown out of proportion. Yes, he was one of the greatest actors/comedians of our time. However, I see another equal reality. I'm going to rustle a few feathers here.
We have someone who has millions of fans, people that adore him - people that are willing to support him through thick an thin. Yes, he was diagnosed with depression, but you can also say that upon millions and millions of people. I'm not too familiar on addiction recovery, but there are countless other men who have overcome that, Robert Downey Jr. for example. Whatever demons he may have, I'm certain other millions have faced it and overcame, even though they did not have the financial and social support as Robin Williams does. At the end of the day, take away his fame, his death would be no different than you or I - someone that could not stand up to their demons. His death is greatly exemplified when you consider him a human being, like you or I.

robin Williams was snorting coke back then with Richard pryor and john witterspoon back in the 70's.
John witterspoon said they use to snort lines together, and robin would steal their jokes too, and they wanted to beat robin a$$.
I forgot about that movie he was in, where he was taking photos of the people family and keeping them, that was a dark movie, yet it was good.

Me, personally..I like the one scene in "The Survivors" antagonizing a killer (Jerry Reed, another FREE man in real life) over a payphone http://youtu.be/I426JibpYUQ?t=53m10s

"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.
