"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 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!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.
