"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.

Yeah, the 50 Cent movie from last year, or was it the year before? Anyway, when it came out, I heard it got bad reviews, so I never bothered seeing it.

So I randomly caught it on one of the HBO channels last weekend. It was great!

I think 50 Cent acted pretty good...what the heck were they talking about? In fact, he acted better than a lot of professional actors I've seen. And overall, I think the movie really showed how having strong desire and passion for something, and really working hard can help you achieve success.

Sure, it was violent. Sure, 50 Cent is really not a great rapper (but a great marketer)...but he is definitely an example of someone who has turned their life around and also an example of someone who is successful financially.

Whether or not the movie was based on lots of truth or not much, whether or not he was really shot 9 times...I still think it was a good movie. I'm not a big fan of 50 Cent (or much of a fan at all, other than maybe 1-2 songs), but the movie really was motivating in some aspects.

That's why I recommend it for anyone who feels they have a strong desire or intention that they want to follow. Nothing is impossible.

I give it a 7/10.
 

"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.

it did get bad reviews but don't ever listen to movie critics. people have different tastes, and i've liked alot of movies that got the worst reviews and didn't enjoy some movies that got great reviews (ie. 300...)

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

movie critics are failed actors themselves so who cares what they think.

What are the movies you like? Maybe you just have poor taste in movies?

I watched the movie too, and it was cool to see someone overcome failure and make it to the top!
