"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.

- Start date
"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.

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:

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.

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.

- Watch it. Learn how to do c/f the right way.

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!

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.
