"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.

The Dark Knight

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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 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.

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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
