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.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
have you seen Blue Valentine? I'll never get married after this

"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.

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.

What is Netflix? Is that a cool site o watch movies?Frayzer said:
"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.
