"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Does anyone see reality in this movie?

When this guy was dumped, he pulled chicks of that caliber pretty easily. Is that what California is like?? Because chicks that look like that either take a master of seduction or some serious rapport... or at least a better looking guy. Or they drink like champs and hook up with any guy they meet.

Either way--I would kind of want to gag her too :crackup:
 

"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.

Its a fun movie. Mila Kunis is hot!!! In other AFC movies they would have showed the main character going back to his first gf at the end. But in this one he doesn't so that's a good change.

I think the Judd Apatow is really talented. All his movies so far, while exaggerating a bit for comedic effect, are more realistic.

This one for example, doesn't follow the typical Hollywood story where he gets back with Sarah and they live happily ever after.

As to your original question, I've only briefly visited California so I don't know, but it's a combination of them being drunk and it being a movie.

yea I saw it opening night and posted about how it was worth seeing but some guys here think it's a chick flick, which is totally not true. It's a lot like Swingers in a way

a lot of cool relationship dynamics that are true to life, especially how the girl trips out at the end. also look at how the Russell Brand character can be a player without being an ******* or inauthentic - kinda runs contrary to the stereotype huh

and I'm from California and that was just a movie but if you played the numbers game and didn't give a fvck you could pull like that anywhere. it's kinda like the Apocalypse opener

This is a movie made for this board.
 

"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.

"Training Day" etc.

I think it's ironic that you call "Fight Club" a DJ movie.

The whole movie is about self destruction and in the movie Tyler bashes any form of self improvement.

I agree! It's refreshing. Well of course with the numbers game, but I would think if you're playing the numbers game especially with a limited populace the girls won't be as attractive... the confidence does begin to soar, though.
