Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

The new season harkens the television horizon!

Two weeks and we find out what in fact happened to our beloved castaways.

I've been mulling over the possibility that Mikhail has in fact died from his own hand with his using the grenade to blow out the window to sink Looking Glass station.

I don't see it feasable that the concussion would render him, at the very least, unconscious thus, drowning him. But I don't think the Island will let anyone truly die.

Goddamn, I'm excited!
 

"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.

hmmm
blonde dr / patient libby (hurleys gal) is dead with no returns...
hispanic cut throat b itch that micheal shot, dead with no returns...
echo , dead with no returns....
diamond stealing couple , dead no returns....

perhaps they made peace with their pasts before they were killed?

or perhaps frenchy had taken something experimental during a dharma study and now is immortal, or perhaps he was a old pirate that was immortal and just decided to work for dharma while they were there....

I think Eko will be back.
hahaha
that was funny

i think the guy that played eko only left because his father died in real life, but my husband says he is in movies and stuff now.
 

"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.

This is one badass show! I've refrained from reading and posting in this thread because I was a season behind for quite a while. But I'm all caught up now and ready to go...season 4 tonight baby! I'm pumped. Those last few episodes were awesome!
 

"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.

Hurley's words do seem to indicate that Jack's group was the 'right' group, in that he said he should have not gone with Locke. But then how did Hurley get off the island?

Also, we don't know who all got off the island. So far there is only Kate, Jack, and Hurley. That leaves 3 others.

Also, if Jack was right, why does Hurley think they should go back. And Jack said the same thing in the season 3 finale. Hurley's words to Jack while they are playing basketball. There is obviously way more going on than we know....Damn this show is good!

Oh, and I don't think that Hurley is crazy...the island has just affected him in some way.

right and apparently last nights flash forward about hurley happens before the flash foward about jack because he had not grown the beard yet.

exactly what did they do that jack is tired of lying about (to kate) and that hurley is afraid that everyone thinks he will tell (to jack)?
could it be that they promised each other not to speak anything about the island as it would seem they were all crazy and to just say only the 6 of them survived?
are one of the oceanic 6 the person in the coffin?

mistake by the lake
i remember jack saying he didnt wnat to lie anymore, but i dont remember the reference to kate?

i think the flash forwards are a great idea . only so much of their past could the show exploit without it getting "old".

when hurley said the oceanic 6, based on the shows past, i think they are trying to convince us that only 6 made it off the island, i am not buying into that concept just yet.

one thing that is STILL bothering me is the whole Richard thing. how has this man not aged at all?? and why is he not the leader of the others??

one thing i DO KNOW. is i firmly believe that Ben gets off the island some how
 

“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.

I'm looking at a Locke / Jacob alliance where everyone is murdered except "THE SIX". But don't let Hurley's perceptions allude him to being truly crazy. I think he just can't accept The Island wants it's people back.

It sent Charley for him a couple of times already. Jack will soon grow to despair his departure too.

The thing that bothers me the most among many unanswered question is the four toed statue we saw in the season 2 finale. That seems to indicate that there were people on the island long before the pirates got there (unless the pirates made it? doubtful...)

I think that Locke is coming a bit unhinged. He obviously knows something that makes him think that the people on the boat are dangerous, or that the castaways are meant to stay on the island, but he is keeping it close to his chest, and resorting to drastic measures (throwing a knife in Naomi's back) to do what he thinks is right. It is frustrating that no one on the island seems to talk to eachother about all the crazy **** that is going on to each of them, though that probably makes the show all the better.

In the premier Locke claims that he has done nothing that was not in the best interests of everyone on the island (though not pushing the button was a bit of a mistake...), but I believe that in the next few seasons his own agenda will increasingly conflict with every else's - whether it leads to murdering other castaways...who knows...And what is with Walt showing up when Locke was dying in the mass grave?

Side note: Did anyone watch the extras to the season 3 DVD where Terry O'Quinn (the actor who plays Locke), shows off his real world knife throwing skills. Makes the character Locke that much cooler to me somehow.

Actually, there are going to be 3 more seasons, each 16 episodes. The writers of the show were originally thinking 5, but I am sure abc wanted to sell more box sets so they lowered the episode count and added another season. I was relieved to hear that they set a definate end date to the series so early on, as it will allow the writers to plan everything out the way they want, and now we know it wont end too soon or drag on for far too long.

were they talking about how locke could "help" jacob?
 

"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.
