guys I understand that this is a movie but too many stories I've heard here tell me that this is extremely accurate. Hypergamy, extreme betatude and bpd traits are at their extreme. I'll never get married, honestly I wouldn't have been able to see it coming if I had been in the guy's shoes. It's sad but there's no point to bet your mental sanity and half of your assets for this.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
have you seen Blue Valentine? I'll never get married after this

"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.

Saw the movie with my then wife in a theater. Didn't care for it then, but I'm curious about watching it now in retrospect. I vaguely remember it, but I do remember just feeling so bad for the guy, especially when he attempts to rekindle things in that lousy hotel and the wife is just not into it. Depressing movie.joker79 said:

Just saw it on Netflix.
I would rate it 3/5 just for the purpose that this actually happens. Dean is a bit of an AFC ignoring red flags beforehand and engaging arguments but his wife is also a bit not there in the head. I wish it show cased on how their marriage BEGAN to fall apart rather than the middle.

"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.
