I thought so. Joker was good though.Better than "Joker"?
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.

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I beg to differ, although certainly the main character in both were MentalCels. Joker showed an incredible character arc from a nice but a bit kooky MentalCel to a killer, due to all the torment heaped upon him in life. Taxi Driver showed a guy that could not relate to women in a normal way - e.g., the way that he took the beautifully glamorous Cybill Shepherd on a first date to a porno movie, LOL.Joker is a terrible ripoff of Taxi Driver.

Expressing such heretical thoughts out loud seems to have earned you an excommunication. Pity. I always enjoyed our conversations, and found your thoughts intellectually stimulatingJoker is a terrible ripoff of Taxi Driver.
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.
Me too!I'm getting a page saying payment required.
I would say The Joker was influenced by Taxi Driver, rather than a ripoff of it.
Yes, as amazing as it sounds, Phoenix did the all-time best acting job that did not require wearing a hoop dress. Very powerful movie.I haven't seen the The Joker...is Phoenix better than Heath Ledger?
Does it matter what row you're in when the plane is going down?If you're in the front row but looking back, you're in the last row.

I always hated blink 182 and their spinoffs, though i grew to appreciate blink 182 in my older ageThose fellas imparted unto the world some very deleterious lessons
Yeah, you're clearly more of a Korn guyI always hated blink 182 and their spinoffs...
I definitely went through a korn phase. That was my transition from rap to metal.Yeah, you're clearly more of a Korn guy
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.
And at his feet, you've learned to "uncover" signs that the planet is going to hell in a handcart, then mistake this for insightful commentaryMusic is mostly boring I typically drive Bill Burr....
He's funny off the cuff. He understands the male/female dynamic, which is rare in comedians.And at his feet, you've learned to "uncover" signs that the planet is going to hell in a handcart, then mistake this for insightful commentary
Yes. Back row is best.Does it matter what row you're in when the plane is going down?
