"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.

"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.

She looked fine until they started morphing her into some anime looking chick. Let the geeks play Warcraft and keep them away from Photoshop! :woo:
Ironically, this was created by the very same companie (Dove I think) that use the most beautiful women in the world most of the time to sell their products.Hello hypocrisy. It's marketing.Blue Phoenix said:See for yourself:

Frankly, there's no much point...you can take any women and turn her into some glamourous perfect image using photoshop...So.......? You can take any women and give her the head of W. Bush using photoshop...what's the point?
I see plenty of stunning chicks in real life everyday, pretty girls are even more beautiful without makeup, are they photoshoped irl too? Some girls are inherently more attractive than others. Same for men. Except the same women who shout "Yeah! 'bout time somebody tell it like it is! every girl that's more attractive than me is either photoshoped or has plastic surgery" (sure, whatever you say) will also reserve the right to drool over "hunks".
That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.
Thread should be closed like the 80+ page awful thread.

BINGO! You just nailed the reasoning behind that vid :rock: Thats the reason nothing more nothing less. They are saying "dont feel bad by looking at women in magazines cause on the inside they look just like you. Use our products to get that natural healthy skin and beauty"Dmr9 said:That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.

The point of the movie is that those "artificial beauties" are demanding too much from women regarding their appearance. No wonder some of them are never happy no matter how beautiful they are!
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Our perception of beauty IS messed up. It's not even that most media images of people (men and women) are altered... it's that they're in our faces all the time and feature the hottest 1,000 people on the planet (OK that's a random number, but you get my point).
Let's say you live in a small town with 1000 people, and always have. You have no T.V., no internet, no movies. Now, you'd pretty clearly think that the ten hottest girls in that town were primo stuff.
Now add in all that media, and you are aware of the Angelina Jolies, the Jessica Albas, the Halle Barrys, etc. of the world. NOW what do you think of the girls that you see walking down the street, even the hottest one in town?
And since our society is obsessed with notions of "you must be the best you can be", "get all you can", and so on... there is a part of us that now feels cheated. It's not a conscious thing, like "Why can't I have someone as hot as Miss Alba"... but a subconscious thing. When you're out with Jenny Down the Block (NOT her, dum dums), you can't help but feel inside like you could do better...
...even though, unless you're Brad Pitt, you can't.
It's for this reason that I periodically go on total girl-picture breaks. NO porn, and avoid at all costs looking at stuff with ultra-attractive women. You know... I think it works.

Angelina Jolie, and Halle Berry aren't even that hot. They would blend in at your typical Scottsdale club on a Friday night. There's nothing special about them... It's about time to stop worrying about what Hollywood thinks is hot, and think for yourself. The girls out there in mainstream Hollywood are nothing special. The cover girl for Maxim is hot, and girls in porn are hot. Notice media that targets men has it right at least. I couldn't care less about these women actors in hit movies, or models picked out by gay men.

i have seen many of these morphing techniques and photoshop jobs and i'm quite dissappointed when i see my favorite victorias secret model has cottage cheese on her ass in a regular photo.
Understand they make things like this more for women than for men. Average girls look at stuff like this to make them feel better about themselves. And that's fine.
You guys sure do get outraged about silly stuff on this site.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Reminds me of that time when I saw pictures of elisha cuthbert without makeup. For some reason it was stunning. I should have known, but still, I was in a state of WTF. I think I still have the link to the site too. yup- http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=1553 Although I could've sworn I saw these same pictures a long time ago from the same site. The site's date has to be wrong.
