"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

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:
"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.

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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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!

I got back from Iron Man... oh **** son, its really ****ing good.
"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.

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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
