Just got through MM. i know it’s not new, but I finally got to watch it. Great series. What’s fun and relevant is the portrayal of Don Draper (lead character) as a Chad. It is really spot on.
"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

There are a number of TV shows where I've watched 3 or 4 seasons, then just never got back into them. One definitely was "The Walking Dead". I never got around to watching the last few seasons of "The Shield", however, I should, because that was a bloody good show.
"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.

First three seasons were A+ TV. And if guys on here want an example of a true alpha male with a IDGAF attitude who knows how to be charming and suave it is definitely Don Draper.
Agree with other posters though that season 4 and beyond got to be a chore. The pacing was off - and the whole "woman coming into their own" angle I think was very over-done. While that was changing somewhat in real life - even in the final season where it is 1970, it wasn't the reality that the show portrayed. But our society are masters of revisionist history to fit the woke agenda we have now.
