"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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I doubt he'll ever be as weird as Tom Cruise. Cruise just comes off as a natural weirdo. you have to understand the real incentive for celebrities/rich people to become Scientologists- it's a tax shelter. Then again, Smith does appear to be a rather religious person.

The film started off great, but then turned average rather quickly after the set-up was finished. Also, I thought that the 'vampires' looked alot like the robots from "i robot" (also starring Will Smith). I love Will Smith, I think that he is one of the greatest actors working in hollywood today. Great cinematogarphy and spot on acting, but this was an average action flick at best. The version with Vincent Price was alot better, in my opinion.
Amen.

The best movie I saw last year had to be "No Country for Old Men". ****ing great film. I love Cormac McCarthy. Joel and Ethan Coen really did the book justice. Now that was an action movie done right!
A-fvcking-men!

There is an unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise coming out in a couple of weeks with some dirt. One item in particular is that Tom Cruise had Katie inseminated with L. Ron Hubbard's frozen baby batter as an ode to Scientology.

I really think this is so far out in space that it may in fact be true.

I thought Smith's acting was great. He made me overlook a lot of flaws and glitches in the film.

I am interested in the book now from hearing all of you talk about it. Will the book be spoiled since I've seen the movie?

The book has a very different ending from the movie, and overall a different feel. He's just an average joe living in the suburbs and the vampires have a distinctly different presence in the book, you might say. The story is only around 130 pages I think. I'd go so far as to say the movie felt more inspired by the book than it was based on it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I read Fight Club after watching the movie but the movie to me was a lot better and plus the book was kinda like a less detailed and organized version of the movie. Or maybe it was just not a good book to have translated.

I see the "I am Legend" book on sale at 711 but also do have the same question as another poster in terms of how good the read would be.

I already addressed how different the book is from the movie- enough to make it worth reading and still be a new experience. But I haven't encountered anyone who's read the book and thought the movie was better. The book just has a better story, and a much better ending.

It was such a let down.

The first half had real potential and even though i have not read they book (yet) i got a feeling that it had the opportunity to say something important or relevant about mans experimentation with science.

In the end the director either lost his balls or ran out of money therefore having to rely on bad CGI.


SPOILER
Could have been called 'Ethans legacy' had Will Smith thrown the kid and the hand grenade into the zombies at the end.

I Am Legend's Original Ending:

http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/must-watch-i-am-legends-original-ending-this-is-amazing/

by Alex Billington:

"For those unaware, let me explain the concept of Richard Matheson's book to help clarify why this original ending was so amazing to finally see. Without spoiling too much (incase you want to read it), the entire purpose of the title I Am Legend is that in the book, Robert Neville actually is the last man on the planet. And he has switched places from our reality of what we perceive as legend, to actually being the legend. As in, vampires are "legendary" to us because they're a myth from fantasy. In the book, Robert Neville is "legendary" because he is that myth and goes out day after day hunting them. With the original theatrical ending, they never actually touched on that idea at all - but when you think about, that's a pretty damn cool concept."
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Since when did bacon last 3 years in a fridge??

But I loved the film, apart from the ending. Like someone said earlier, it should have ended as the grenade exploded. Wills acting was incredible. It would be interesting to see another actor play it though.
