"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 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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.:)

"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 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.
