Any suggestions on movies, films worth watching that isn't about AFC's but glorifies the true essence of a DJ. Thanks
"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 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.

American Psycho.
Like the title implies, it's about a psyho/sociopath with narcissistic tendencies who does all he can to look the best and be the best. I love the movie, and the book is even better.
Fight Club.
obvious choice.
the first two seasons of the tv show Dexter is a good choice in my opinion.

Not a lot of movies are, in and of themselves, worthy of study, but plenty of characters (at least in certain situations) are worthy of study.
Take Tom Cruise's character in the recent Jack Reacher movie. While not about picking up girls, it's a great study in frame control. He controls pretty much every conversation he's in, regardless of what happens.
Or a few choice scenes of Jimmy The Saint in "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead," when he first picks up and seduces his girl.
There was a GREAT scene in "The Departed" when Matt Damon's character was busting on his police appointed therapist during their first date.
Then there's the absolute classic from Star Wars:
Lea: I love you
Han: I know

"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.

That's actually a pretty common behavior trait of guys who get laid a lot. Not the imaginary "alphas" in the movies, (who are actually written by beta screenwriters with zero clue), but guys who just HAVE FUN wherever they are and whomever they're with, WITHOUT worrying what others think.Fatal Jay said:
While I'm trying to find one in my head, I think it is worth noting that I went into Don Jon with decent expectations but wow, that movie totally fell apart for me, I wouldn't recommend that at all.
I always remember the beginning/first half of the movie Wanted being pretty fvcking empowering. Movie kind of loses steam from there, but its worth watching.

For context, his best friend is fvcking is girlfriend and he's at a dead end job and is too beta to do anything about it until he realizes what he really is.

The Last American Virgin
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Lol what? It's a good movie but the dude in the movie was a beta. His best bud banged the girl he always wanted, his best bud got her pregnant, the main star helped her get an abortion, and then the chick went right back to the main star best friend.
Samspade I agree with American beauty the husband kelvin spade went from beta to alpha, hate what happened to him at the end.
