"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.

Who has seen this movie? What did you think of it? Very weird, but a pretty cool concept even though it could never work in reality.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

I've only seen the original, a korean movie called 'Il Mare'.

Yeah, the concept was cool... Kinda like that movie with Jim Caviezel, 'Frequency' or so.

I don't know how it ended in the american version, but I didn't get it in the Korean. I mean, he dies runned over by a car, but he shows up to the girl in the past? Meh, I think I'm going to see it again to sort this out.

Yeah its odd. I think it must be the same as the Korean version. Cause at the end, he does get hit by a car, but since she sees the future, she tells him this just in time, so he just goes to look at her, and then does not cross the road. He waits 2 years to see her after that. Its a very very strange movie. Would be interesting to hear some of the movie buffs on this site take on it. See what exactly they thought the whole point of it was and how it exactly all fit together. Its not until I read their reviews that I actually get exactly what was meant to be happening in the movie.

One more thing, how crazy is the house! Looks awesome, but fukc you would get woke up early in the morning due to the sun, and damn you would get sunburnt! All that glare off the lake!

Your cool. Thanks for your insight.

But I see where your coming from, when I was 16, I may have said the same thing.
 

"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.
