"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Did I not say their would be another matrix!

"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.

Gay and political bull?
No.....not that. The movie is just.....ridiculous.

They kept referencing back to the other movies. I mean a knod here and there is fine,but they actually had clips of the original movie PLAYING in the background while the characters in this movie were speaking.

Then they had a new "Smith"...who was Neo's boss in the movie. One minute they're talking boss to employee,then the next,Smith grabs a gun and starts trying to kill Neo. I was confused....cause I didn't know WHY he started trying to shoot him.

Then Neo.....he's no longer the cool,calm bad azz he was from Reloaded. Now he's being led around like A CHILD by the blue-haired girl. Then at the end of the movie,Trinity.........now SHE can fly. Both her and Neo jump off a building,she had to carry him,cause he lost his ability to fly.

This movie made Revolutions look Oscar-worthy.
 

"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.

Yes, just another fine example of today’s filmmakers having lost their way.
Usually typified by disconnected plots that make no sense combined with cgi action scenes too fast / involved to comprehend…
New Spiderman qualifies as another low value final product also.

That stuff is part of what I was talking about

What exactly could they have done with the Matrix plotline? Didn't NEO already end the war with man and machine?

How are Neo and trinity even alive? I haven't watched it yet but it seems like a lazy cashgrab for nostalgia, since the other movies made by the Wachowski "sisters" kept flopping.
 

"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.

And when it flops (which it has) it will all be the fault of transphobia because the filmmaker is trans.

I heard from several people it was the worst movie they ever saw
I went to see this because tickets were free just to see how bad it was.

My girlfriend's comment while watching the credit scroll while waiting for the post-credits scene was "It took this many people to make such a bad movie?"

It's not so much bad as it is utterly boring. One of the people in the theater was snoring (movie got moved from the big screen to a smaller screen). It's utterly unoriginal and no one human dies, but at least it doesn't retcon or sh!t on the original trilogy in any way.

The post credit scene sums it up perfectly. Two beta male game developers saying "The Cat-trix. It's the Matrix, but with cats".

The Last Jedi is a far worse movie.

It's another example of Hollywood recycling successful film franchises to make more money. They can't make good movies anymore so they just do prequels, reboots, add-ons, etc.

Movie was terrible and added no substance to the original trilogy. The main plot line was flimsy at best and not creative at all IMO.

They also left it open ended so they can do another film after the most current one so expect to see a 5th matrix in the future.
