"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.

This show is really f*cking awesome. Awesome characters, smart and witty humor and great story development.

The main character though, is like the school example of a ladies man. Main part of the story: he's got a kid with a woman he's still in love with. She's gonna get married to some other guy but she's still in love with him really. Throughout the show he pursuades her and tries to get her back. In the meanwhile he pretty much f*cks everything that moves. Really cool to watch how this character handles the girls in the show. He's the perfect example of the bad boy-style, and he pulls it off wonderfully.

Really one of the best shows that's on right now. Aside from what I've written above here, it's really ****ing worth it to watch it for the story too. Again, it's an awesome show. I'm going to watch the season's finale tomorrow.
 

"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.

I put my vote in with Snowdog -- fantastic show, awesome main character. Good stuff all around.

The main character is a weird mix of major AFC and badass though. Still, for all his AFCness, he doesn't take other people's **** at all, and with the random chicks he hooks up with he's got major game.

I don't know what you are really talking about but it sounds ok.

One of my favorite quotes is from The Jon Dore Television Show.

(Jon's @ a clinic)
Jon: Do you have to be celibate before you come here?
Doctor: No, that is just a myth.
Jon: So in theory, you could be celibate for a year before you come here. Wouldn't you blow the roof off this god damn place?
 

"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.
