"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.

I robot meets 28 days later and then meets Pitch Black with Resident Evil

"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.

You forgot to mention thats also part Castaway, with Will Smith, seemingly the only person.

Seems like it would be worth seeing. Not a lot of good stuff out there these days.

the story concept has a lot of potential - i love apocolypse stories myself. i think the reason we are seeing so many of them lately is because on a subconscious level we are realizing that we may be approaching the end of things (that 'something', who knows what, is going to bring our existence to a sudden end fairly soon).

the problem with anything involving will smith though is that at least the first 50% of the movie will involve almost no action as he engages in scenes based around his 12 patented facial expressions (hence why the first 30 minutes will be him and his kid and then him washing the dog).

will smith is the black tom cruise. their movies never suck, but are always formulaic.

now, what they should have done for this movie is use a Sin City / 300 style of filming.

Actually it seems to be more heavily ripped off from the very old movie known as "The Omega Man".
 

"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.

I am Legend is a 50+ Year old vampire classic. It inspired Romero's Night of the Living Dead and the vamps in the book are nothing like Dracula. Its a nice short book, I finished it in one sitting. The ending has everything to do with the book's title. But I am not going to spoil it for you guys (although I hear the movie changes the ending).

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Padron Reserve maduro in hand while finishing my b
Richard Matheson is one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century. I am Legend inspired one of my student films when I was at film school in New York. Easily the best vampire book I've ever read.

Suffice it to say I was jacking off when I saw the trailer a few months back. Though the book and the film will be vastly different. I like the fact that Will Smith signed on to play Neville but for the life of me I cannot find who will be playing his nemesis Ben Cortman.
