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.

I thought this movie would suck...perhaps that's why I was so surprised.

For me, the first one was great and the second one sucked.

But this one ripped both of them to shreds. Suspenseful scenes, amazing special effects, great cast...and such a twisting plot, I really had no idea what was going to happen next...and I've seen plenty of movies.

I have no clue how it got bad reviews from critics. Like I said, personally, I was starting to hate Tom Cruise with all the hype over the Katie Holmes thing, and how it was all possibly to get attention for his upcoming MI3...with the baby being recently born and all.

Nonetheless, I was definitely impressed. They really did a great job, and I really was left trying to piece things together after it was over.

Screw the critics, I usually agree with them, but not on this one. Although I haven't seen what Roger Ebert has written yet...he's the only critic whose reviews I respect.

Anyway, enough talk...go see the movie!
 

"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.

I saw the movie and I really enjoyed it! I'd recommend any dude that's taking a chick out to a movie to pick MI3.

I thought it was pretty crazy. Enjoyable, ridiculous action and some good twists.

JJ Abrams directed it. Same person that did LOST and Alias. That's probably why it was better than the other two.

this is the best of 3 Mission Impossible movies. I usually hate tom cruise too. I still hate the SOB. The action scenes were well coordinated. Let's see if 007 movie can match it.
 

"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.

only thing I complain about is Kayne West's ****ty song that came out with it. Rap is ruining everything. His gay song has nothing to do with MI:3

Not everything, but it has a LOT to do with it. Kanye is one of the hottest commodities for the younger market. Guess what market MI:3 was targeting.

See the coincidence?

You can complain about his artistic style, but the numbers are the numbers: Kanye is a chart topper. So it's only logical for the producers to put him on the lineup...

critics hate movie with manly themes. If the movie was about 2 homo cowboys it would have gotten thumbs up all over the place! movies with manly themes such as all out action/violence/guns get bad reviews by critics. For example Scarface, the classic movie was ambushed by the critics when it came out and they even criticized Pacino! Can you believe that? Pacino "the man" gave a performance out of this world and he didn't even get nominated for a freaking oscar!

f____ the critics

He also did felicity. If you notice he recycles actors from show to show like David E. Kelly does.
 

"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.
