"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.

- Start date
"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.

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...

They gonna make him an Alcoholic? That's been a large part of his character for a very long time...Paradox said:

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.

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.

"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.

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!

"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.

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.

"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.
