"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.

There isn't much in the way of Alpha men on television these days. The exception being the Alan Shore and Denny Crane characters on Boston Legal. Both are congruent, Self confident, slightly apathetic to everyone but themselves, and best of all they're in it for the women.

These are the Big Dogs pissing in the tall weeds. Guys who don't apologize for being men and having desires and,most importantly, having the sac to go and get what they want when they want it. No matter the cost.

I noticed something in last weeks episode, the way Spader held eye contact with Parker Posie. It had everything in 11 seconds. Drama, Efficiancy, Delegation and High regard for thier self worth. It was a moment singed into my core. The first season comes to dvd on the 23rd. Do yourselves a favor and get it. Learn it, Live it, Love it.

Any thoughts fellas?
 

"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 thought you were going to explain a paradigm to us. Not recommend a TV show.

My thoughts, what is your rebuttal?

I'm not out to persuade anyone to watch anything (albeit, it IS the best show on television).

My point is that the characters on this particular tv show have the Alpha/DJ qualities some of the brothers here wouldn't understand with only the written word to guide them. I believe there are a couple of wonderful examples that brothers here can watch and envision to get off thier asses and learn what it is men should strive for.
