"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.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
oh yes, a younger Denzel Washington too. That little daughter kept on acting too.

It really is a great movie. Amazon has it to rent. Well worth the 4 bucks. I have the VHS (don't laugh).

Awesome! I've never rented on the internet. Maybe if I get one of those 7-11 visa cards, I'll rent it.
I have Conan the Barbarian and Live at Pompeii-Pink Floyd and my hs graduation on vhs, no player anymore though so no laughs from me. At least you probably still have a player to watch it on.
"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.
on a art of masculinity blog I get delivered to my email. I screenshotted the ones I'd think that I might like. I'll go look at the screenshots and there should be a date in details on the shot and the email/blog date would have been delivered that day or within a few days before that date.
its too bad it wasn't your cup of tea. 'Maltese Falcon' was on that list(your profile name suggests you like that masculine movie)

TBH, you prob. can get the movie free from the library. You'd be amazed how many movies the library has. Never knew until recently. They also have an online version where you can stream for free, all you need is your library card usually.

The other ones not included I've seen or rewatched or remember clearly since reading this list
I think I may have seen Glengarry Glen Ross. I will look him and it up.
Yes, I definitely saw Glengarry Glen Ross before.
A powerful movie on sales and what a great cast of characters. I learned sales techniques from that movie and once considered being a real estate agent myself.
I had an unusual amount of people tell me to get into real estate sales over the years.
My Dad and brother warned me against it-isolated in empty houses with strangers; meetups in alcohol establishments; have to be available all days of the week and then I learned about the porn fetish with female agents , omg.
The clips I just saw got my heart beating fast though. Same feeling when I dared open that bodybuilder at the gym recently, or when watching a Grant Cardone video where he negotiates price. There might be some future in sales for me, at least, further developing my game in life.....I do get a rush from it.
I'll look up the other Marmot movies.
I've seen House of Games but not Redbelt yet.
"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.

that's right. Bring back these examples. It's fantastic idea to expose yourself to strong masculinity examples from movies. It's exhilarating seeing a proper order to things again.
I'll find a way to watch each of these movies.
300 is awesome. All those movies that have training and physical conditioning in them are powerfully masculine.
Then combine that with strategems of battle. Lots of valuable lessons.
fantastic list!! screenshotting this
I'm just now watching 300.
Powerful stuff. Great soundtrack and optics in this movie.
Show no fear. Sword, spear and shield. Occupation: Spartan
"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.

How so?
An author named Alain de Botton mentioned the free P hub with the videos available. Went to the site and saw that was a common theme under Reality category I think.How so?

The 1949 film based on the biblical story of Samson And Delilah is worth watching.
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille
Starring: Angela Lansbury, George Sanders, Hedy Lamarr & Victor Mature.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
