"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.
Alpha movie right here. that black actor was on some real ish..weapon safety not a joke. childhood favorite. and with a female as its protaganist was bad ass "feminist" type of movie.

Two things: CGI (the lazy way of doing special effects, which results in unrealsitic and boring visuals) proliferation of left-wing politics (which results in boring, politically correct shorelines).
I only go to the movies to make out with new plates.
It's pretty impossible to relate to any main character in today's film. Full of white knight and hippie characters. I always find it funny how people think movies made today are good. Well, I mean, if you like watching women pedestalized and men demasculinized, I guess you'd have a thing for today's movies.
I think the last good movie I saw at the theaters was 300.
I don't understand how they can spend tens of millions of dollars on nothing but special effects, but then the script for the movie is... dogsh*t
I saw the new Independence Day and it's like, did a bunch of 16 year olds write this? Same thing with the new Jurassic Park. I'm pretty sure I could write something better myself, in less than a week. Not even bragging that's just how bad some of these scripts are for 100+ million budget movies
Also the special effects these days actually look worse than the old school practical effects. I thought the new Jurassic Park looked more fake than the original. Likewise with Independence Day

"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.
CGI these days is completely unimpressive. I prefer the risky more realistic-looking film making methods, such as how Aliens was made.
I'd rather be an otaku and watch quality drawn anime before I watch another CGI based film.

You are crazy to think that.
Guardians of the Galaxy - Still has one of the best CGI I've ever seen.
Star Trek, both films - Incredible CGI made it seem so realistic, even whem they weren't in space.
Both Avenger films - still on top of it's game in terms of CGI.
Mad Max - nothing else to say here.
Cloverfield - Incredible for it's time.
The first Transformers movie - Absolutely stunning for it's time.
Every Pixar and Dreamworks Film.
CGI has come a long way from the old Star Wars and Star Trek. The amount of detail and realism is incredible.
And if you're watching a movie to "relate to a character" then you are watching it for the wrong reasons. I can't relate to Saving Private Ryan yet I still think it's a fantastic movie, same with Tropic Thunder and John Wick.
You're there for the story, not to write a new entry in your diary.
I will agree that a good half of new movies that come out are bad. Not because of a "feminist agenda" like Frozen or the new Ghostbusters or a "SJW plot" like how the new star wars cast was so "diverse."
I don't care if it leans towards a particular message. All I care about is if the movie is well written and directed. Frozen wasn't that good not because it had a feminist agent but I felt it wasn't a complete film for a Disney princess movie- look at Beauty and the Beast for example. That movie is still a masterpiece, it has every element needed for a great movie.
The new Star Wars is the same deal. They focused on irrelevant things, like a "diverse cast," that they made the story bare and incomplete.
The new Ghostbusters is going to be crap as well. Not because of a feminist agenda but because their background for why they're ghost busting isn't as good as the original. The original busters were all out casts!
You should focus more on the movies story rather than real life dramas. That's really the whole reason you would want to watch a movie.
The movie Captain Phillips was about Somalians hi-jacking a boat. Yet it was incredible to watch and I personally believe the Somalian actor playing the pirate deserved that award he earned for his acting talent.
All female cast? Fine as long as it's good. Same with whatever race or "x" they do.

I would say CG is making people lazier, its a wonderful thing if used properly. Hollywood has completely changed and embraced the 'strong' woman archetype.. of that we are sure. Battle Star Galactica is a perfect example:
( 8:14 ) When women were still sweet and quiet as opposed to the dyke standard we have today ( 10:52 ) [Blonde guy is Starbuck]
( 0: 22) The new Star Buck is a blonde woman.
"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.
