"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm going to see a free preview of the new Harry Potter movie...

My daughter works at the movie theatre and they're doing a free preview for the employees and family members in an hour.

Who's jealous? :crackup:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I just got home from seeing Harry Potter Goblet of Fire. I haven't read the book, but my daughter has. She said they left out a lot in the beginning and towards the end and changed a few minor details around. The movie was good, but since I kept hearing the 4th book was the best of all of them I was expecting it to be a bit better. It's still well worth seeing, but as with most movies made from books, my daughter said the book is much better. She said the Yule Ball and Voldemort were portrayed exactly as she pictured them from the book, though.

In the previews there was a clip of a movie about penguins that was freaking hilarious. Everyone will enjoy that. The movie doesn't come out for quite awhile, though...but I'll be watching for it.

I heard that one of the reasons the new movie is rated PG-13 is due to the amount of adult men who will be there seeing the movie by themselves...

lol...could be.

It's definitely worth seeing and a good movie. At the same time, anyone who has read the book might be a bit disappointed by how much they left out at the beginning and in the maze. Those were the parts my daughter said they really left a lot out of. The movie was still almost 3 hours long, though. Draco is hardly in this one at all. The underwater scenes are cool and the mermaids are freaky looking. Oh...and Moaning Myrtle and Harry have a bathroom scene that is hilarious.

Watch for the Happy Feet preview before the movie...it's funny. I think most theatres are starting showing it at midnight tonight, too.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm 39 years old and find it very difficult to sit through most movies without getting bored. I have never had that with any of the Harry Potter movies. I own the first three and will own all of them. No, Harry Potter isn't just for kids. The books are good and so are the movies. JK Rowlings isn't a particularly great writer, but she's a phenomenal story teller. The movies do a very good job portraying the imagery you get from the book.

You should definitely see this movie, but go rent the first 3 and watch them first. Although each of the movies tell their own story, you really do need to see them in the order they came out to follow the larger plot of the series.

I actually went to see it for the midnight showing with my g/f and one of her female friends... I had work at 8am the next morning (today), and thought it would only take an hour and a half - like most movies. I was wrong. At around 1:30 I was like "nothing has even HAPPENED yet"... then by 3am it was over. A 3 hour movie.

Admittedly, it wasn't bad, and the special effects at times were slick, but even though I haven't read the books (I've seen the other 3 movies either on the big screen or DVD) I have to say that the movie itself wasn't that great. On a high school grading scale I'd give it a B-.

Oh yeah, I really did expect that ghost chick to go down on Harry Potter in the sauna... after all, she was diving around everywhere else...
 

"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.

I think the issue with this HP movie is that the book was SO long and had so much in it that they had too much to condense for a movie. I think if they had of split the book in two and make two movies from that one it would have turned out better.
