"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.

Movies that portray men poorly

"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.

Funny you should mention Fantastic Four. Reed Richards should be a born leader, but they gave him loads of insecurities in the first film. Gave him a character arc I suppose, as he grew into his role, but didn't notice too many faults with the second film, unless you're talking about the bit where he got his ass chewed out for doing his stupid dance with some other girls.

how bout the biggest let down of all silver surfer, Who likes to save chicks from missiles because they remind him of his girl friend back home. Reed Richards only purpose is to make his fiancee happy. Human torch turns into a wimp. Every guy in fantastic four is a pansy except dr. doom who they just made detestable.

How about at the end of the movie when silver surfer tells read to thank invisible woman for being the divine voice of reason.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Owen Wilson's movies are hilarious and "Me, You, and Dupree" allowed me to hit a higher form of consciousness. I finally had an ah-ha moment that laid the entire DJ-ism form into perspective.

I made a post on it a while ago.
