"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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 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.

Yeah, and it seems like they may actually be sticking a little closer to his "original" ORIGIN than I had initially thought.:cheer:

Looks like Favreau might be getting his Directing chops.
Robert Downey Jr. has the Stark attitude down pat.

Yo COLONEL KARMA and PARADOX,
Just wondering, have either of you checked out the Iron Man animated movie where he fights against The Mandarin? I heard it was cool, but I haven't checked it out yet.
I have watched both The Ultimate Avengers animated movies, and I thought they were both pretty decent------the FIRST one more so than the second one, though. Although, of course, they can't do ANY justice to actual Comic Book Graphic Novels.
Anyway, a friend of mine has that Iron Man Animated Movie, and I was thinking about checking it out sometime this weekend...

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When I saw the trailer the other day the first thing that came to my mind is that Downey's character has c/f down to a science. Watch the trailer again.

I grew up reading Iron Man. The animated movie had a good story that kept me satisfied for it's duration. I'm excited they're throwing in the Audioslave and yes, Robert Downey Jr. has the c/f going for him in this one, from what I see.

"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.

What about this:
The-fvcking-Incredible-fvcking-Hulk
Ed Norton, the best actor of our generation, as Bruce Banner!
Mr. Orange as Abomination!
William Hurt as Thunderbolt Ross!
What the fvck!
For Marvel geeks like me, this is a great time!

"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.

Watched it. It was awesome. Sadly, didn't stay until the end credits.

Yes, i saw the trailer a while ago and yes, I agree that it looks amazing, but I'm just saying that I hope they don't pull a repeat episode of the first one.KarmaSutra said:

The last Hulk was good, I don't know why everyone hated it so much. I actually liked it more the second time I watched it. It's too soon to re-make the film. I'll probably skip it and see Batman. I never though a nerd like me would say this, but there are TOO MANY sci-fi/fantasy, comic book movies coming out these days. Too much of a good thing.
But that's my opinion. I'm going to see Iron Man today.

"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.
