"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.

Of course this movie with get nothing but rave reviews from the mainstream media.

"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.

Seeing movies likes this makes you realize how much good work Charlton Heston did (RIP). His portrayal of Moses just radiated with masculinity. In the old days men were providers, fathers, leaders, flashforward to today and the media pumps up movies like this to reinforce the matrix.

So if it gets rave reviews by the media then what? If it's funny then it gets great reviews if it sucks then it gets crappy reviees. So What? Are you saying it's gonna get the best reviews ever because it has an "AFC" guy as the lead role?

I think some of you guys take this Matrix/Feminist conspiracy thing a bit far. Go see the movie, for all you know they'll make the AFC guy look like a total retard for being so obsessive. I will check it out not because I hold the protagonist up as my hero, but because Judd Apatow has made some damn funny movies.

I'm pretty sure the critics just liked the movie and thought it was funny not because they have an agenda to keep people in the dumbass matrix...

In the movie the guy is a bit afc at the beginning, but tries to get over her. Its not like he is trying to "win her back". What's wrong with getting over a girl? I saw the trailers and it seems pretty funny.

I saw the trailer and it looked pretty funny. It is getting massive airtime/posters/billboards all over Chicago.

I've seen the trailer and it looks like a mini-journey of an AFC to get over his AFCness & one-itis.

I just saw this movie and it's funny as hell

and no, it's not a chick flick - there's no feminine conspiracy or whatever. most of the relationship stuff comes from the same angle as Swingers

definately worth seeing

no feminine conspiracy? just another movie showing a guy who is a pu$$y and women having all the power over him.

so you're one of the few guys that hated Swingers huh, since the main character was a pvssy at the beginning

you should be blaming chick flicks and all the movies that suggest a false reality to guys if you take the girl out on romantic dates and do this and that you'll get her. not films that show the guy evolving

the coolest part of the movie to me was you got two guy characters - one is an LTR guy and the other is a player but at the end they're totally cool with each other. and the player isn't the stereotypical ******* caricature, he's a genuinely nice guy who's able to do what he does because he has a strong reality

that plus Mila Kunis cleavage all over the place
