"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 was in time to catch the previews yesterday when i went and saw oceans 12 (good movie imo regardless of what everyone i know told me), and i was able to catch the preview for Batman Begins which will be out in June. The movie looks incredible im just wondering who else has seen the preview or is gettin pumped up for it?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The trailer does look good. This new movie is not directed by Joel Schumacher. I don't think that this will be as campy as the last two Batman movies.

You can view the trailer here: Batman Begins trailer

This one doesn't look anywhere as campy as the last few movies. It's about Batman's origin. It's dark like the original Batman movie which I think was the best. Really close to the old Detective comic books in which Batman began.

I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night
The whole point of this movie is to erase the memory of the last two. It's directed by Christopher Nolan, who did "Memento," and it should be in that kind of noir-ish vein. I'm beyond excited for this movie and I think it will eclipse every other superhero movie. I'm not exaggerating, either-look at this cast:

Christian Bale
Katie Holmes
Michael Caine
Morgan Freeman
Liam Neeson
Ken Watanabe
Gary Oldman
Cillian Murphy

that's a hell of an ensemble.
 

"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.

yea, I hated the last Batman movie. This new one is going to be directed by Christopher Nolan, the guy who directed MEMENTO (which I thought was pretty original)(EDIT: which ken already pointed out); so hopefully the new Batman movie will kick ass (he was always my favorite childhood superhero).

Batman kicks ass as the best superhero simply because he had no super powers.

No no, he has the best super power of them all -- money... lots of it. And yeah, he was always my favorite hero when I was a kid.

Guess I'll have to check it out after all.:)

"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.

I know in pre-filming she was in talks about being Bruce's girlfriend. I haven't read any post production notes to confirm it though.
