"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm bored and I thought of this topic for some reason.

What appeals to you more, spaceships or dragons, roaming the countryside on a quest or battles with robots?
 

"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.

Life does't let itself catch in a definition. Fantasy and Science Fiction have a lot in common. I suppose you've seen Donnie Darko. It's labelled as fantasy probably because of the the walking dead guy in a bunny suit but at the same time the movie is grounded in theoretical physics.

Both.

I like mixture the two best. War Hammer 40K is a wild ride of a read because it's both sci-fi and fantasy. At first I was kinda turned off by the idea but the commentary on both in the series is really well done.

Heh, perhaps I should have added a 3rd option that is a mixture of both: Something like Avatar.

I should check out 40K.
 

"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.

When I was young, I was all about fantasy. Now Im more sci-fi oriented with books and movies, but I like fantasy rpg video games. Tough choice, but I'd have to say sci fi.

As for Avatar, I consider that sci-fi meets WESTERN, personally.

Well, it depends on whether you mean hollywood or written SF/Fantasy. Written Sci-Fi doesn't have much battling robots and the best written fantasy isn't just Lord of The Rings/D&D imitation. By Science Fiction, you could mean Transformers and The Core but you could also mean Stephen Baxter and Robert Heinlein. Fantasy could be orcs and D&D, but it could also be Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman.

I think sci-fi kind of speaks to human society a lot, the things we can built and make, so I like some kind of philosophical or satirical depth when I'm dealing with it.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Heh, I made this poll when I was playing Dragon Age and I was wondering why I had not desire to play Mass-Affect.

For me a little sci-fi is fine every now and then but I like fantasy stuff more.

Fantasy, though I still think Star Wars is the best, deepest and most thorough fictional universe out there.

I use to think that as well. I've read tons of star wars books and always thought their commentary on society was fantastic (to a degree I still do), but Warhammer 40K is Star Wars to the Nth degree. Many times in Star Wars I've felt very dissociated from the problems that the characters in the series deal with. With Warhammer 40K the plot line is still very foreign but they some how make the issues hit much closer to home and much more personally. Even the original Warhammer series, set in ancient times, feels uncomfortably familiar on many levels. The writers in the black library just have a really good handle on translating human issues into scifi/fantasy stories.
