"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.

I'm not a big fan of TV, but you guys should watch Squid Game on Netflix. It's South Korean, but you can turn on English translation. It's pretty good and I can see this happening in the coming decades. Reason being, money now runs the world and people are heavily in debt.
 

"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.

I see this show has generated allot of hype and has been no.1 viewing on the streamer. I already put it on my like list but will try to look at the first 3 episodes. South Korea is definately getting awards here and there for these types of social films. For example Parasite, Burning and Minari are just a few recent examples. That country has some talent.

I haven't seen it but it reminds me a lot of similar shows and movies.

The Long Walk (short story by Stephen King)

The Running Man (movie version)

Battle Royale (Original Japanese version of Hunger Games)

Even Jai Courtney's character on Spartacus joined a gladiator team to hopefully pay off his debt before he would be killed.
 

“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.

It's also extremely similar to the Japanese Amime Kaiji, even the season finale seems like a straight 1:1 rip off of one of the Kaiji episodes.
