"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.

Seems Hollywood didn't learn from Ghostbusters, and is making the Next Men In Black to Men and Women In Black. Trailer below. Unreal.

 

"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.

Good looking white guy whos a solid 9 in look and an average minority woman below 6.

We may like it or not but they now chase the consumer who spends the most and its no longer adult males.

Adverts and media are now directed at women, they do most of the spending (especially the impulsive one), forget the 80s and the 90s when it was man to own and spend the money.

You can notice that not only when it comes of characters but also when it comes of plot and drama, you will notice that the more time pass the more drama exists.

I'm talking about not functional talks and emotions that have no impact on the general plot of the movies.

Just try to compare pre 00s james bond movies to the last ones.

Not sure if the dude thinks he's a 9. He married a lady 7 years his senior. Tessa isn't bad looking, but I guess they wanted to appease the common lady. Average lady have sexual chemistry with the better looking dude.

Lets just say it takes a difference in terms of SMV for her not to be a pain in the ass to him, the bigger the difference the less sh1t tests and headaches he gets.

Ever notice that no one is clamoring for a male version of Snow White or the Little Mermaid?
To be fair, I didn't know anyone was clamoring for another MIB movie anyway, although the third one wasn't bad.
Really, putting a woman in there doesn't bother me, there's no reason that agency couldn't or wouldn't hire females. Besides, she has a male partner. Not that I'll be rushing out to see it, but I might watch it when it comes on cable.
 

"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.
