"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.
MOVIES... do you guys know any cool dj movie's

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I love "40-year old virgin" also, Jay is the DJ, absolutely hilarious.
They spit out a lot of advice from real life into their lines.
"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I always recommend Glengarry Glen Ross. Check out Alec Baldwins' ( Blake )cameo and Al Pacino's Ricky Roma.
What about Fred Mcmurray in The Apartment? Classic married playboy who uses Bud to keep Fran on the side and hush hush from the wife and kids.

Having said that, the REMAKE of Shaft was cool, because Samuel L. is ALWAYS the man. He is the quintessential bad ass mofo. Hell, you should see that movie just to watch the bravura performance of Jeffrey Wright as "PEOPLES". If anybody OTHER than Sam would have played the lead role, THAT guy would have stolen the whole movie!
But if you really want to see how it's done, PLEASE check out the original one.
It's got all the cool ass leather clothes, tough-ass talk, MORE women for the main character to DJ, some really good AMOGing scenes, an action-packed, violent ending, and my man Richard Roundtree is the COOLEST, dude on the planet in that movie.
So check out the orignal SHAFT. It's a movie that inspired a WHOLE new generation to rethink what the modern, cutting-edge, P.I. movie could be.
"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.

And if anybody HASN'T seen it yet. Check out TOMBSTONE. It's a western about Wyatt Earp and his boys. Every damn actor in that movie is ON POINT. Lot's of action, lot's of trash-talkin', and a whole lot of lines and scenes in it that you'll remember for YEARS to come.
But the main reason you should check it out is to see the OSCAR-worthy performance of Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. This guy's interpretation of the character is OFF THE CHAIN! Once you see his take on the character, it's hard as hell to imagine ANYBODY else play that same role.
But sadly, Val didn't get the oscar nod or even a nomination. Why? Because we all know that the academy is just a bunch of snobs who generally look down on action flicks and comedies----which is why Eddie Murphy wasn't nominated for an oscar for The Nutty PRofessor (how man goddam roles do a brutha gotta play in ONE move before you give him his acting props???), and it also explains why Back to the Future wasn't nominated for an oscar for Best Picture several decades ago.
But every now and then, Hollywood pulls that stick out to their asses and forces themselves to recognize GREAT acting, no matter what genre of movie it occurs in.
Example: Johnny Depp's Best Actor nomination for Pirates of the Caribbean. And ironically, Val Kilmer's acting job in TOMBSTONE is the perfect example of a similarly GROUNDBREAKING acting performance. So check it out guys...
Thus ends the VU rant for today...lol
March on.

Twirling the cup in the guy's face when he's playing little stick-'em-up games?
Bone-crusher AMOG styles.
Stepping around a tree and announcing "I'm your Huckleberry". Ooh, and who could forget "YOU'RE NO DAISY NOW!!"
Presence. It's hard to portray a presence on the screen.

"Oh, you calllin' the Wolf? Sheeeyit Neeeegro! That's all you had to say!"
Harvey Keitel is the bomb as "The Wolf".
All business, in control... smooth, calm, cordial, funny.
And when it's time to relax and have a good time... that's the business. All business. Another smooth character, that's for sure.
Another premium Alpha - in control of the environment he's in, and not oppressive or offensive.
Again, Presence.
However, I didn't care for the "shot caller" do-what-I-say-while-I-watch method. I'm going for more of a "MacGyver" style, myself. I must be doing okay, since I've been referred to as "A cross between Mr. Wizard and The Fonz" before.

"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.
