"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Is used to be that the MCU was a garantee of a good time. Then we had the first Captain Marvel Movie followed by the Woke, the women, the representation, the pandering etc. and basically things started going downhill after Endgame.

Sure, there was still the good movie here and there but it became the exception rather than the rule. Deadpool & Wolverine feels like Marvel saying "Hey guys. We are listening to you. We are trying to make the MCU great again". Its a step in the right direction. Lets see if they can keep it up.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When LOTR was modified to include a female ranger so it test marketed I knew the jig was up.Galadriel was always supposed to be the only prominent woman in the whole damned thing.

When Star Trek started with fat acceptance, trans and gay characters, and pretty much all female protagonists, the same.

When Star Wars started girl power as well.

Is what it is.

That depends entirely upon how we define The MCU. If we're factoring in Spiderman 3, XM: The Final Stand, The Blade Trilogy(Groundbreaking as the first installment was), The Amazing Spiderman flicks, Dark Phoenix, XM:Apocalypse, The Hulk movies, every attempt to adapt The Fantastic 4... Well, the past is often whitewashed

Deadpool had the good fortune to begin outside of Disney's clutches, and before Wokeness really developed a stranglehold over the culture it has now. Star Reynolds is a self-described "ally" though, thus whether or not the series will remain Un-PC remains to be seen

This all goes to a larger, rarely discussed malfunction in our civilization https://theweek.com/articles/595463/how-america-became-obsessed-star-wars-other-childish-things https://johnbrownnotesandessays.blogspot.com/2016/03/no-self-respecting-adult-should-buy.html?m=1

If so many guys today are having a tough time not just with the ladies, but academically and in their careers, this may be at least partially attributable to so many of retreating from the complexities of reality and into infantile, good vs evil fantasies

I’ll be honest, I think it has to do with the disturbing trends of young men going trans and cutting off their penises and having franken poosies carved into themselves.

They see the privilege that poozy drivers have and want that kind of acceptance.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I might agree with you, if the difficulties which disproportionately affect the male population didn't predate the fad you're describing by at least two decades. That the very first Spider-Man broke the bank, and that audiences(Especially men)didn't instead retort: "We're not kindergarteners anymore. Don't insult us with crap like this" indicates that things we're starting to go awry. I saw this as someone who enjoyed SM2 quite a lot

My girl watches Netflix’s dating shows. Most of the men there wear eyeliner, nail polish, and pearl necklaces.

Odd that we pretend that such fads have never happened prior
