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.
"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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
"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.

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.
