"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I never understood, why are they making the seasons shorter now?

I mean understand, all the actors are getting so many hollywood roles now, but still it sucks for the viewers
 

"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.

I can enjoy the show but still recognize the inherent bias.....im not sure why it seems you cannot?
I don't know how many times I have to tell you, I agree with you, there is bias. The producers have made comments priding themselves on their feminist contributions.

That said, there hasn't been anything that I found offensive. There's nothing inherently wrong with a strong woman character in a story, or a weak male character. One of the funniest things on the show for me is Jorah being in the friendzone. That comes from the book too, though.

You will for ep6
Saw the leak... what an alpha
I've seen some spoilers, so I think I know what you are referring to. I don't want to get into spoilers here though, so I will address it after the show airs.

Let me say it dIfferently....I don't understand why you can't enjoy the show and also accept me making the statements I am without it "killing your buzz".
You were killing the mood, that's all I meant. It's no big deal. You say what you want to say, I got over it.

Okay, I saw episode six, and aside for what happened to Viserion, nothing upset me.
I guess you had a problem with either Jon Snow calling Daeneryus for help, or with him agreeing to bend the knee.

Neither bothered me. He was up against thousands of white walkers, and she had the only available air support.
He's also unaware of his own high birth position at this point, and has apparently become convinced that Daeneryus is a force for good, so why not support her?

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Indeed... The Night King spear moment was GOLD

Also, the way they did it... the Night King waited 2 days before attacking them on the little island... .in short.... makes you wonder if he KNEW the dragons where coming

I already know what will happens next episode.... epic stuff in the waiting.

The night king never said 1 word,... and did the most stuff in the entire serie so far

Ok, sorry, I thought you were talking about some sort of feminist stuff would happen that would upset me.

Speaking of feminism, some of these roles - like Daeneryus, Cersei, Arya, Olenna, and others - these have to be some of the best roles for actresses that have ever been available. And I don't think that's a bad thing.

I've heard this theory - that the Night King has Greensight so he knew the dragons were coming. So what the frick is the Three Eyed Raven doing aside from sitting on his @ss?

I felt bad for the dragon. Hope Melissandre or some other wizard can turn it good again.

Another bêta but this one with 3 eyes lol

According to some theory.... Bran is the reason every thing is crumbling... Aegon the mad King, the white walker, the wall, etc... a timeloop
 

"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.

I read that one. That Bran was the one trying to stop the mad king before this all happened, but all he heard were whispers which drove him mad.
Sort of like how he turned Hodor into Hodor, very interesting idea.

Bran is a giant mindf*ck all by himself, when he met the old three eyed raven, was he actually meeting his future self.....

and if he was meeting his future self.............then it is freaky that the old future of himself was expecting his young self.

and why is no one talking about ned stark brother who came in and save jon snow?

About Brandon... or the undead uncle aka Cold Hand in the books. (might not be him actually in the Books lol)...

I thought it was fairy tale normal writing... nothing really surprising there... Its just that how it played off that made be ''wonder''.

In short, in 6 years, he had 5 minutes of screen time, only to finish like that.

It was epic but quite fast

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I really think that is going to be the death of him.
I could then see Littlefinger showing up in King's Landing, killing Cersei, and taking off his face to reveal it is really Arya.

Cold Hand is in the books

He's likely an ''other'' but in the book its never shown either.... his role is yet to be determine

About Little Finger... Chaos is a ladder

She has buck teeth in the books.
I've never been one for tall women anyway.
