"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Im so ****ing tired of these movies ridiculing pick-up artists, just finished watching wedding crashers, and I gotta say, It was pretty good, but then again, it also made me feel like I want to throw up.
I've seen em all, wedding crashers, hitch, the 40 year old virgin, rodger dodger, you name it, i've seen it.

will anyone just give me one decent movie, where the main character doesnt get oneitis, and pour his heart out. I mean, what the **** would be so wrong with having an ending, where the main gets fed up with the girl and her bull****,:trouble: and just walk away...that would be a cool ending, also give me a real build up, to where the watchers think he's gonna go oneitis, just to let it come to that ending instead, that would be mind blasting...:rockon:
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I've never seen James Bond get oneitis. He just bangs any hot girl that happens to be co-starring in the movie.

Dude it's the American writers no offence to anyone but they are so soppy it's disgusting.
 

"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.

can anyone share that movie with me?
yeah, totally agree with you, and its no doubt whats been inspiring them, I mean, 2 years ago these movies just started popping up like grass, coincidence, I don't think so...
I just wish they could do a decent job portraying a PUA, but man, maybe im asking for too much, maybe its the general world attitude that is the problem, I mean there's just so many factors too it, the church promoting being with only one woman, even when your not married or in a serious relationship:nono: , then there's the extreme feminists, bashing you whenever you even mention the something about being a player:trouble: , people believing in true love, refusing to acknowledge that there might be more than just one mr or mrs right....theres so many things...

Gladiator =) I'm serious. Excellent production of this movie... and Russell Crowe is a womanizing beast when he's not cutting limbs off of people.

Requiem For A Dream doesn't have a happy ending. In fact, the ending is rather disturbing.

I actually hated Gladiator. The movie was so overboard, not to mention the gross historical inaccuracies.

It doesn't annoy me when there is a happy ending in a movie, but it does annoy me when I see a man in a movie chasing a girl and getting emotional ' I want you, I cant live without you, your my heart and soul' and all that crap! Gimme a break will ya? Geez.

The sad part is that when a man acts like that supposedly the girl "realizes" that he is the man of her heart...and there comes the happy end. :rolleyes:

Watch the movie 'In the Company of Men' its really mean spirited though because it centers around two misogynist men who want to get even with women and they end up playing a game on a girl who is deaf.... good movie but very cruel yet you almost related to the characters because they are out there.
 

"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.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
hmmm

He doesn't get oneitis in Alphie, right?

By the way, both "Lord of War" and "Layer Cake" had very weird bittersweet endings.. and although characters both had women they liked, they did not let them interfere with work..
