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

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

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?
