"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Gents, as a huge fan of all things western, I am compelled to chronicle for you a list of must-see westerns. The courageous and stoic heroes of western movies give us, however idealized, role models of a forgotten era. I'm particular to Eastwood, he is the man and that's all there is to it. So here goes...

For a Few Dollars More
Fistful of Dollars
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Hang 'em High
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Joe Kidd
Once Upon a Time in the West
High Plains Drifter
Two Mules for Sister Sara
The Unforgiven
Rio Bravo
True Grit
Pale Rider

These are awesome movies. To the other western fans, who am I missing?
 

"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.

Nice list. "My Name is Nobody" should be on there, though.

There's one I haven't seen. Maybe I can download "My Name is Nobody", I've never seen the dvd anywhere.

I'll add that "Once Upon a Time in the West" is my favorite. Amazing cinematography, amazing soundtrack, awesome storyline, and THE most beautiful woman God ever saw fit to breathe life into, Claudia Cardinale.

"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.

despite starring kevin costner, "Open Range" is a good flick. It's got a great line, the hero talking to his girl:


"A lot of men are going to die today. And I'm going to kill them."

And for your fans of spaghetti westerns, you might want to check out the "originals" from Kurosawa/Mifune.

Fistfull of dollars, a few dollars more, and magnificent seven were all direct remakes of earlier samurai flicks.

The following has got to be one of the greatest "showdowns" in movie history:
