"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.

Back when shave club came out I almost bought into it. I researched it and everything I read were that their razors are from Dorco. I bought directly from Dorco and they worked well and were cheaper. I still get spam from them so after the Gillette ad I bought some more. They just came in the mail 20 minutes ago.
Interesting information. I saw they have a safety razor kit with 30 blades for $25, sounds reasonable. Only thing is, I recall trying a safety razor once and I didn't like it, seemed awkward and prone to nicks. There's probably a good reason the disposables became so popular. I have a very tough beard so that might factor into it. I prefer a double blade but I didn't see one on Dorco's site, which is odd because Dollar Shave Club has one.
 

"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.

"gillette the best an incel can get"
I'm going to repeatedly quote this to my woman and then just give her a wicked smile.

I'd bet she'll stop buying anything that's branded as Gillette for me haha

You’re right about being more prone to nicks. It gets the job done but you have to be a little more careful. I usually just shave my neck, so with the multi blade cartridges it’s so damn easy. Not sure about Dorco and Shave club it was a few years back when I read this. But the Pace whatever blade was solid.
 

"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.

Too early to tell yet. Resistance floor is at about 90 since the dip to 84 on December 24th of last year. At the time of this writing the chart shows 94.

I'd love to see it drop, but we need another week for the trend to establish if it's there.

About this ad,

All the women and homo male (gay m'en) are sharing these on Facebook.

A minorité of guys support it.

Most male comments bash it.

You can wonder how many are right wing bots or "fake news" since they keep repeating the same stuff over and over with different names.

Still the dislike/negative comments are over taking the ad.

The AD was geared towards women, they do the shopping and likely are the ones who choose which "brand" are used... "Here honey try this brand of razor" ... "Oh my wife i love it"... Who decided which razor to use : your dad or your mom :p

Stupid ad but it did do a buzz and it shows alot of stuff wrong in current social/commercial context

Guy stops 2 boys who are clearly play wrestling. That is natural masculine behavior by boys. They will grow up weak.

Guys stop friends from simple flirting.

There is nothing wrong with whistling.

I could go on.
It was a calculated market play.

Women spend. Cucks marry *****s. They spend theur money.

Imagine, a Gillette ad on open hypergamy, divorce rape, 80% of divorce initiated by women, predisposition to bulking season, high kills, and playing house when SMV craters and playboy stops calling.

I don't care about what is going on in society nor Gillette. Its not even about their market shares but not allocating dollars towards cuck.

Good, informative video, @Desdinova. The more I hear about this ad, the more it p!sses me off.
There's a battle being waged for the minds of men, between the feminists and more traditional masculinity.

That Uber ad from the same director is interesting.
And if that lady didn't lose her job from that "singing vagina" commercial, I don't know if she'll get in any trouble for this one.

Also interesting where he says that Schick, Dollar Shave Club, and Harry's had toxic masculinity material on twitter or on their website, but have deleted them in light of the Gillette ad.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I saw Harry's very similar advert but haven't been able to find it again. I keep seeing guys saying they will switch to Harry's but it's the same damn thing. I got a Bulldog razor for Xmas with all their shaving creams and post shave moisturizer etc. Their products are natural and great for my skin. Buy Bulldog.

I decided I'm just going to start shaving with a rusty knife.
But at least Harry's had the sense to take their ad down when they saw the backlash to Gillette's ad. Gillette appears to be just digging in their heels. The least they could do is come out with an apology or something.

By the way, the Patriots play at Gillette Stadium. Should we boycott the Super Bowl?

Was this the ad about the space alien coming down and learning how to be a man from that kid?

Jordan Peterson recent comments on Gillette Ad in a Public Audience... His complete answer is in these 2 videos :

1st Video: Its the development for his position taken in the 2nd video here. He quotes some philosopher who wrote a few decades ago that the rise of Feminism and Female political power would lead to a Challenge of the Patriarchy / War against Male, in short.

2nd Video: It's his comment / statement that he elaborates more in the 1st video. In short: He hates it and prefer a greedy corporation to a moralistic one.

Some viewers/posters might have wanted to know what JPeterson thinks on the matter (a more reflected and concrete answer might follow from his part)

Maybe the Patriots will win the SuperBowl next sunday at the Gillette Stadium :p
