"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Ever see this Otezla commercial? I see it quite often. It catches my attention because it gets me wondering:
First off, he's on a first date with a girl he met through OLD. They watch a movie together so they don't even get a chance to talk. Terrible choice for a first date. At the end he gets a hug, doesn't even go for a kiss.

I'm trying to figure out if the old lady is real or if she is supposed to be some sort of metaphor for his psoriasis. And if she is real, what the heck is she doing with him?

Kind of a cool frozen 3D effect in the theater, although it's nothing new.

 

"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.

I have no idea if this is supposed to be a drug commercial or some parody that is supposed to be selling something else. Oh, and why isn't Tether mentioned; I had always thought that Psoriasis always goes with Tether.

No, this is a real commercial. Otezla has had a series of them. Some of them have featured some real hotties IMO. There were a few redheads... I like watching them to see if I can spot where the red, dry patches are on the people. It's like a game of Where's Waldo.
 

"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.
