"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.
Is the plot of the movie "Gone Girl" the ultimate shinola test?

"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.

I read that book on a recommendation from a friend, who generally likes the same books I like. It was well written, kept me interested, (sufficient scene changes at the right places, etc) BUT the overall "feeling" of the book was utter crap.
For a while I thought it was building up to something spectacular, then it fizzled into the most horrible ending imaginable.
The ending literally made me want to wash my mouth out with whiskey or something.
I've seen the movie as well, and as far as directing, acting, production value, etc, it's pretty high quality. It's the overall story that is horrible.
Absolutely NOBODY to root for.

Big picture: If the two characters would have communicated honestly with each other from beginning of the relationship, perhaps they wouldn't haven found themselves in such tragic circumstances.
He should have divorced her.
She should have divorced him.
I believe, as adults, whether you are a male or female...humans are products of their childhood environment.
I've met a few nutty guys in my life, as well as a few nutty ladies.
Using a movie like this to generalize women is weak.
