Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

For my lord of the rings fanatics, what do you guys think of the hobbit series. I read the all the books when I was younger, but I'm starting to like the hobbit series more then the lord of the rings series.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Just seen the new one. I really like the two movies so far. I can not go as far as you though and say I like it better than the 3 LOTR movies.

Seeing Smaug come to life was worth waiting for, that dragon is badass. And his bass voice made the theater rumble.

smaug was just like I pictured him in the book, I guess I'm liking the hobbit more then the lotr films because this one just have one main focus, lord of the rings had too much going on at once.
 

"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.

The 2nd hobbit movie was geared to be 3d. 2d just won't cut it. The barrel ride was epic and so was the dragon. Gandolphs costume in the beginning made him look like he had too much makeup on though.

Overall. Very entertaining. Worth the see in the theatre in 3D

This story is probably one of the better ones told throughout history. Post bible of course.

I'd like to know why everyone likes these movies, when I read the books, I had a completely different universe imagined... I kinda wish george lucas had done the LOTR movies instead. I felt that Willow and Krull (different director) were closer to the worlds I imagined and more fast paced. Peter Jackson's movies seem to crawl along at a snail's pace. The only redeeming quality is Smeagle... otherwise I find the series almost completely unwatchable. This is supposed to be high fantasy, not a trip to the library.
