"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.

Loved it.. But what did I learn from this movie? Never to take any shyte from anyone... Ever!

A girl disrespects you.. NEXT

A girl makes very little effort to communicate with you.. NEXT

Your not her priority.. NEXT

Single mother or she has a shyte load of Red Flags? NEXT
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have not seen this movie yet. Waiting for it to come on Bluray and then borrow from my library and watch it for free. You recommend this is worth jumping quene of a free home watch and paying for a cinema view this late in the day? Think it was released a month or so ago.

My GF and I saw it last weekend. What I saw was a "nice" man who got pushed pushed pushed to his breaking point and then let the world have it. I've never had thoughts of doing the things he did, but I have an understanding of the people that do. Especially from all of the mental health training I have had as a cop. In my state we train a lot on mental health issues. Just went to another class earlier this week. Human beings can only take so much, no matter how good we once were.

This movie is very worrying to the Establishment.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's an excellent movie, a masterpiece even from a storytelling perspective. It made me uncomfortable, which is good, but it also glorifies the sociopathic revolutionary spirit which is dangerous in this day and age.
