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

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.

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.
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.
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.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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
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.

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?
