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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

maybe this will make you change your mind

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!

I think its going to do just OK. I dont expect it to be anything big or great. I think for the most part, people are just over Superman. Hes seen as too invulnerable and the kryptonite angle is played out. Thats the big issue...hes just too powerful, and the suspension of disbelief with superheros can only go so far. Hes got sooooo many abilities and his only weakness is the same green rock we always see.

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.

I feel this movie will change the game of superman movies, this movie seems like it is going to go in a different direction, the cgi looks amazing and the villain looks like he is going to be bad ass.

I never been a fan of superman movies, even the chris reeves versions, but I actually want to see this one.
 

"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.

It's weird it's getting total mixed reviews haha. I think I would enjoy it, but I'm not someone who's connected with Superman a whole lot. Lol just the idea of an invincible god is hard to connect with

Superman is an illegal Alien. Literally. :crackup:

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I heard Russel Crowe and kevin costner were really good

I always felt the same way about superman, he is too boring and too powerful.
