"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.

Guys,

If you haven't seen it yet, please rent "Up in the Air" with George Clooney (2009). I have yet to see a movie that at least addresses or gives a viewpoint on several of the topics that we discuss here over and over, including marriage. I'd be especially interested in any thoughts that RT might have on it. RT, I think you'll like this one, whether you agree with all the viewpoints or not.

For those of you that have already seen it, what parts did you like and what are your thoughts? For the rest of you, see the movie first so you don't read spoilers.

BTW, I posted this in MM forum because the movie specifically covers topics more applicable to middle-aged individuals, or approaching middle age.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

it is a good movie, not a massive clooney fan but I thought he was very good in this, telling part for me was the way he was out played, not that in itself, but the way he handled it, pretty cool.

p.s. on a movies to see list, how about open range? Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner, superb 'man movie'

(spoiler alert)
Yeah I only saw it the one time, but it was like he allowed that Yale (harvard?) chick to question the very thing that was making him happy, then he started to have thoughts of LTR/marriage?, which caused him to be outplayed, so to speak.

By the end of the movie, he seemed to have snapped out of his "foolishness" and went back to what made him happy. I like how the movie didn't seem to take sides - at least as far as I could tell.

....

We could make a separate movie thread list if there isn't already one, but I thought this movie alone could fill a thread.

I'd like to see someone discuss the "Sell me marriage..." part of the movie.
