"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.

Can you imagine a music video like this being made in today's climate?


Or how about a movie with these type of scenes:

In today's climate, one would say that these people would need to see a shrink, lol! What is crazy today was normal a few decades ago.
 

"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.

Those are some damn glorious harmonies in that Huey Lewis song. Sh1t would never be made today either.
 

"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.

Let’s fix this thread:

I'm not sure if this beats Selena's video:


But it might be a close second.

However, back on topic of 80s music videos......

Here is a wierd 80s music video:


This has 249M views, which is rather high for an 80s music video. Do not see that this was "propped" up by any recent movies or TV-show referrencing that music.

This Kate Bush music video "Running Up The Hill" is also an 80s music video, but it was propped up by Stranger Things episode 4 as being integral to the plot story-line (ie and delivering a major punch the way in which it was delivered):

If this music video was not propped up by Stranger Things, it would likely still be sitting at 20 Million views or even less. Look at her other song Cloudbusting. It was only referenced in one episode on Handmaid's Tale (2019 - season 3, episode 11), and near the end of the movie Palm Springs (2020)

Just the first part where he kicks away the gay guy...even before he hires the blonde bombshell would be enough to create outrage nowadays.
