"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.

I saw this movie the other night. There were a couple of jokes where they talked about Amanda Seyfried looking like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings (I watched the unrated version, if that makes any difference). To be honest, her eyes do seem to be the same pale color blue as Gollum. But do you think this is Seth MacFarlane's way of tossing a neg at Amanda Seyfried?

That was my main question. Overall, I thought the movie was just meh, at best. But I did think it was funny that they had Michael Dorn dress up as a cheaply put together cosplay Worf at Comic-Con. They did the same thing with Patrick Warburton and The Tick, but it was Worf that I thought was funny.
 

"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.

I saw it. You're a little behind man, Ted 2 came out a while ago lol

And that's the thing with Seth Macfarlane's humor though. If you're not a fan its just 'meh.' But if you are a fan, as I, you think its hilarious.

That being said, I think you're looking to deep at it man. It was just a joke, a little poking fun at an attractive actress. I don't think it was consciously done as a neg haha.

Well, I like Family Guy. And 8 Million Ways to Die in the West (although it ran too long I thought). American Dad was just okay. And I liked the first Ted movie well enough to see the second one. I didn't think it was as good as the first.

Speaking of 8 Million Ways, I thought it was interesting that he cast himself opposite such a hottie in Charlize Theron. Apparently a lot of women find him quite attractive.
