You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.

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...
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.Originally posted by diplomatic_lies

Also does he ever get laid with that other wizard chick? (the nerd looking one with brown hair and suff)
Well yeah the girl is slowly turning into a woman, the pervs are increasing!Originally posted by diablo

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.
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.Originally posted by diablo
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...
