"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anyone else see this movie yet? I honestly felt it was kind of DJish, all about taking complete control over your own life and doing what you ****ing want to. Yea, there's really nothing about picking up girls or anything, but the guy does take back control from his piece of **** girlfriend and starts living by his own terms. The last few lines are also ****ing awesome:

NOTE: Slight SPOILERS

Wesley: Six weeks ago I was ordinary and pathetic, just like you. Who am I now? Account manager? Assassin? Just another tool who was mind ****ed into killing his father. I am all of these. I am none of these. Who am I now? This is not me fulfilling my destiny. This not me following in my fathers footsteps. This is definitely not me saving the world.

Sloan: Still trying to figure out who you are?

Wesley: This is not me... this is just a mother ****ing decoy.

Sloan: [Sloan looks down to a X made of post-it notes on the floor] Oh ****.

Wesley: This *is* me taking control, from Sloan, from the fraternity, from Janis, billing reports, ergonomic keyboards, from cheating girlfriends and sack of **** best friends. This is me taking back control of my life. What the **** have you done lately?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It was a great movie, but I felt that the movie didn't really touch upon its "take over your life" concept enough. It got its message across very clearly but it kind of lacked a little bit of congruency.

I thought this was a terrible movie only due to the fact that it was too short. If this movie was 3 hrs, they could have legitamitely made it better, but IMO they went from training to killer waaaay too quickly.

Also, this wasn't about taking over your own life. He had people MAKE him into somebody else. Much much much different.

I thought it was alright, better than "Hancock." I wouldn't say that he became a DJ but I do think the guy was a total AFC in the beginning of the movie.
 

"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.

He is an AFC, that's why I am going to see this movie. So I know what not to be.
