"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.

okay, I'm a big history guy, so when I found out starz was doing a new series on spartacus.

So, we watch the first two episodes. Look very promising. lots and lots of sex. lots of it.

so we get to the third episode of the damn show, and i have to basically waste an hour of my life to watch Spartacus get his ass whipped and surrender.

Okay starz... this is why you are starz and not hbo.

No one watches the sopranos to see Tony go to the joint.

No one watches law and order to see the killer get off.

this is what starz basically did.

I did not tune in to the damn show to watch Spartacus get his ass handed to him and surrender.

to make matters worse, there they could not have picked a better guy to write a series about... as no one is so famous yet so little is actually known about him. they could have made up anything they wanted and this is what they come up with.

And they just made my TV watching experience simpler becuase that is one show i will not bother to watch.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Excellent rant. I fully agree I watched it last night when I had so much else to be doing and was pissed when it ended like that. But it teaches him a lesson and left me wondering what is gonna happen. Although there isn't to much wondering if you know the history of Spartacus watching the show is more like waiting for stuff to happen.

The original Spartacus was targeted for gay's before it was socially acceptable. Why would a remake be any different? You guys are MEN complaining about a gay movie. You might as well talk about Brokeback Mountain.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

^^ We are discussing the show. A show you obviously have not seen filled with tons of sexy naked women and more specifically Lucy Lawless.

Man if every woman looked as good as her at that age it would be a near perfect world.

"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.
