"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Is it just me or there isn't a single thread on this ****ing awesome show?

Discuss, season 4 premiers next Sunday. Gonna make a day out of it.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I just got into it. Caught up on the previous 2.5 seasons. Piven is good but I really like what Kevin Dillon has done. The episode at COMIC-CON was fvcking hilarious.

I don't watch enough TV to justify 15 bucks a month for HBO...i buy the seasons on DVD when they come out. Wish they had those on the apple TV store.

I love the show though..some of my friends are in talent agents and they always get teh great hookups for bars, parties, women, etc.

I only got into it last year at Season 3. I saw the Las Vegas episode (one of my favorite) and after that I decided to rent season 1 and 2. Saw them all in 2 days time. Had to download all of season 3 (torrents) since it wasn't out on DVD yet.

3.5 was exciting, and I can't wait til 4 starts next Sunday!! This show is pretty damn inspiring, and very funny.

Funny show and I think Kevin Dillon (Drama) takes the cake in this one. However, the lives those people live are so centered around materialism and greed it is disgusting that people really live like that.

Been watching it since the beginning, great show. It has the ability to make you feel good just watching it, pretty entertaining and powerful stuff for having such a meaningless plotline.

Whats wrong with greed and Materialism? In the words of Michael Douglas in "Wall Street" "Greed, for a lack of a better word, is good..."

Haha, I love that movie, and I love that quote. Greed is good.

Getting back to the thread topic, I used to watch Entourage almost religiously back when I had HBO last year. Great show, really entertaining.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yes, this is my favorite show atm. Just got one of the watches they wear on the show off hbo.com. But Zerix, just out of curiosity...how do you plan on making a day out of a 22 minute long show? :p

And what are you talking about, "materialism", mahon? They sold their home to realize Vince's artistic dream, man. Besides. It's show BUSINESS. Everyone on the show is in the BUSINESS to make money. Lots of money.
Ok lol not a whole day but I'm a be chillin with my buddy (who I watch the show with), and since he has east and west channels, we're gonna first watch it at 7, then go to a cafe that's near him, smoke some hookah, roll a joint, and enjoy it one more time in a different perspective ;) at 10.

:)

Just to add some more...

This show is gold! They can keep making seasons, making it like ****, and I'd be watching it every single time. The only reason I keep HBO is because of it. I agree with everyone else about making us feel good after watching. Really makes ya wanna achieve something and try as best as you can to live like that. I don't think a day goes by that I don't *think* of this show or make a reference.

By the way Deus, how's the watch? I've actually been considering buying it too! Along with a few t-shirts that I keep forgetting to place on order.

Yeah, I'm pretty nuts about it all :)

So there is no materialism heh? How about spending 100K to throw a birthday party on a boat or Turtle trying to buy sneakers that cost 10K or something.

I like the show because it entertains me, but I don't know how people can live like that and NOT feel guilty that there are people in the world who don't have enough to eat.

I make less than 20k a year, I can only afford to eat two meals a day and I still feel guilty that there are people who are starving. There will always be people starving. Infact stars generally do give away large sums of money for different causes. Remember it was the celebrities who brought attention to Darfur. They jumped on the (Red) Campaign, Katrina, the Tidal Wave, Idol gives back. Yeah, maybe they don't spend a whole ton of their money on causes, but still they give. Which is more than what most of the population does.

I am NOT saying all Hollywood stars are greedy, materialistic and don't give away money...but alot of them are. Materialism and greed DOES NOT lead to happiness because you are always left wanting more. Look at Michael Douglas in Wall Street. Charlies Sheen says something to him like, "When is enough enough, how many yachts can you ski behind?"
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying about always wanting more and more, and I guess thats the downside of being greedy. But I also see greed as motivation and drive. I guess you have to know your limits.

Man, I still wish I had HBO. Thats the only thing I miss about my ex, that and the DVR and OnDemand. Damn those were some good times.

So yeah, that premiere was badass. I guess now we'll get to see how Medellin does at the box office. Vince will probably get even more famous now. I was busting up when that writer guy was all, "Yeah, I've never been paid NOT to work, before...it was nice, actually." What a great show.

P.S. Zerix, I got the watch. It's great and all, but it stopped a few times already for about 10 minutes. It might just be a defect though, so I'll probably have to send it back. :(
Dang, yeah, inform them about that and get it switched. But other than that, happy with your purchase (if there wouldn't have been a defect)?

This premiere was kick ass!! I was laughing my ass off when Johnny was like "yeah, that guy was me, I got a handjob..." haha and then Turtle busts on him haha.

Man, next Sunday is a while away! :yes:

Yea, it was pretty good. Turtle is a loser, what would he do without leaching off of Vince Chase.

Anyone else starting to have changing opinions of the characters?

I mean "E" is still the straight-edged guy and Vince is still the non-chalant good looking guy who gets all the girls.

However, I am starting to find Jeremy Piven's Character becoming quite annoying due to is hyper behavior. Drama is still funny as hell and I starting to realize Turtle is quite funny as well, with all the funny faces he makes.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
