"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.

"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.

the last reboot was in 1970 (with Chris reeve). In 2006, superman returns was not a reboot, but a continuation of Christopher Reeve's superman.... but that one failed miserably
Man of steel is looking to be the best comic book movie up to date.... I'll bet on it!
Never mind the fact that his character has always been largely boring with little substance. The last Superman reboot/sequel attempt was proof of people being over the hero. The last film was not a bad film (got pretty good reviews and did ok in the box office)...its just that I think Superman is one of those franchises that is one and done when it comes to movies.
Now some of you may think "well didnt Smallville do very well?". In the case of Smallville, you had a tv show which allowed teenagers and college aged young people to relate to superman growing up. It basically took the angle of targeting young folks and the things they go through growing up....and then having super powers to be used while growing up. That does well in a tv show since it can be drawn out over the years and let kids grow with the character. How many young people wish they had something extra that allowed them to cope with their daily lives?
In the case of Superman in movies, he always been a grown man with a largely boring character. Im sure if you started a film series with Superman as a teenager or college aged guy (as they did with both of the last Spiderman franchises), and you altered his powers a bit to make him less invulnerable (and remove kryptonite too, which Ive heard the new film has done), that youd have a series that could easily spawn 3 great movies with the right writing.

"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.

I saw it over the weekend. It was as good as a Superman movie can be IMO. Superman was never one of my favorites and I find him pretty boring overall compared to other superheros. Man of Steel actually made him somewhat interesting so I enjoyed it.
Not sure if I'll bother with the sequel and I doubt I'll watch this movie again. Not because its bad in any way.. just because I still think Superman is lame compared to other superheros. He's at his best in Man of Steel though.
"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.
