"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

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!
Kudos for me for beign at the set of Hulk 2 at University of Toronto
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

This one is supposed to be "Incredible." :p

My gut tells me that The Dark Knight is going to blow them all away.

ah, I don't know. I'm not a batman fanatic that much. I thought the last one was alright. I would like to watch it again because I think that I was pissed off the last time I watched it.

Damn that was a good movie. Robert Downey Jr. Is the man. He's like a so suave superhero.

And yeah you have to wait till the credits are over, very cool.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

They showed the batman trailer and I can't wait for that either. Batman is dark, it's supposed to be, and works that way. Most of these superhero movies are about men who find some challenge in their lives and go through this personal metamophosis, in the Iron Man case, it was very positive. Nothing really depressing or overwhelming (though he becomes a drunk eventually), just a guy kicking ass and figuring himself out. Good DJ movie.

Remember the scene when he's walking into his charity event at his first public appearance after his escape...

HB: (waving franticly) TONY! TONY! Remember me!!!????

TS: (walking past without looking at HB) I certainly don't.

Priceless... :up:

Beyond your peripheral vision
Just stood all my girls up last minute because of this thread.

Another reason I sometimes prefer guy friends. The girls just don't get excited about these movies like I do! "Comic book movies just so aren't my thing. I don't see what all the hype is about."

False eyelashes, short dresses, free drinks and dancing all night long? Or super hot super c0cky super hero with superb one liners and explosions? Hmmm. Easy choice! PLUS a new Batman preview!?!?!? Fahgedaboutit.


BTW, Francisco, you are such as @ss for that. Now I probably won't get a laugh out of that scene. I should neg rep you.
 

"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.

That was a slick film. The humor level was off the scale. These marvel movies get better and better. I'd really like to see a Moonknight movie but I know it'll never happen since the character is too similar to batman. I'd also like to see DC step it up and make a Green Lantern film or something. Superman and Batman are the only DC characters that get any props. A Movie involving Dark Seide and Orion would be cool too.

I watched Iron Man premiere, there is a scene after the credits where they'll introduce The Avengers concept.

The movie is very good. Shocked to see Downey toned his body for the movie. He owned this movie.

Also note, Robert Downey Jr will also make an appearance in the new Hulk movie as Tony Stark.

Marvel is trying to link together the Marvel Universe with these movies (expect a spidey, hulk, x-men, fantastic 4 and iron man movie perhaps fighting against Onslaught?).

DC comic are already linking their heroes in their movies by introducing a JLA movie soon.

Comic books make good movies. They don't really make very good books IMO :p
 

"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.

Looks like I'll have to check this movie out. From my experience, superhero movies are all cookie-cutter plots that follow the same story arc(ie. redundant). I'll give a little review tomorrow once I've seen it.

cheers guys

Dude, remind me not to tell you any secrets; you have SPOILER written across your forehead, way to be popular. I drop a line but you drop the premise of all the sequals! :woo:

Oh that's FAR from the best line of the movie. The movie had better lines.
 

"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.
