"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.

The Dark Knight

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Dude, this movie is really going to be savage. I can't wait to see it.

I really like the new Batman and the way it goes. I'm not familiar with the comic series, but I was HUGE fan of the Animated Series, this one looks good.
 

"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.

Yeah, I was reading that the makeup artist didnt even create the "look". Heath Ledger came on the set one day with simple face paint, lipstick, and black mascara, he designed the joker paint himself, it was the makeup artists job to re-create the look for each scene.

I have a feeling that this movie is gonna be really really short
 

"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.

You called?

Anyway, this movie is going to be spectacular and outperform Iron Man by a long shot. Two reasons for this: 1) Batman Begins renewed the franchise like no other superhero movie franchise and 2) Heath Ledger.

I wouldn't mind seeing Robin ONLY if he is of the same character/personality from Batman vs. Mr Freeze the animated movie. Now, THAT Robin kicked ass.

Did heath ledger die before the movie was finished?
Not really. All the principal photography had already wrapped up and the film was on the editing room floor when he overdosed.
 

"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.

WOW!! Just saw the movie and I am speechless. Brilliance is the best word to describe it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but they kept a big secret out of the previews for this thing. Great movie. I'm going to see it at least one more time in theaters.

Heath's performance was memorable. It was great in the sense that it was nothing like any other love type character he has played before and yet he pulled it off and it turned out amazing

Yeah I know, he who is not to be spoiled is one of my favorite villains in the Batman series and it was really a treat to have them introduce him in the movie.

It was an awesome movie, the line for it was ridiculously long. It literally extended all the way around the entire theaters on the outside.

This was one of the most badass movies ever. It was more than just a comic book movie.

Best movie of the year,best batman movie yet. Least Ledger went out playing such an iconic role.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
