"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.

Regardless the fact that they begun as car robbers/street racers then moved to band of brothers and finally working as the avengers...I feel like anytime I watch these movies my IQ temporarily drops.

What do you think?

Here the trailer from the first one:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I like these movies. They are funny and also helped me with game a little. Blackdragon did a post about the movies years ago about how the men in these movies reflect a woman’s fantasy of the family man alpha who doesn’t cheat and yet is also alpha and not a desperate beta

They wouldn't have been this successful if they kept it at street racing for 8 movies. That would get old really quick. Whoever had the idea to turn it into some superhero car heist movie deserves credit for saving the franchise
 

"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.

That's the real female fantasy IMO, to be married to someone like The Rock, but he won't cheat.
A great man, a great lifestyle for her other friends to envy.

I wish they used Vin Diesel to make as many sequels of Riddick movies instead, I'm starving for more of that. I find it ridiculous that they kept fast and furious going for so long.

Just looked this up. Vin Diesel's real name is Mark Vincent.

You know, I always thought his name was actually Vin Diesel.
Not sure where you found that, but his real name is actually Mark Sinclair, not Vincent.

Edit: Huh, apparently it's Mark Sinclair Vincent. Most sources don't mention Vincent to be part of his name though oddly enough.

If you walk into this franchise with a critical mind, your gonna find faults, just suspend your disbelief for 2 hours and have some fun
 

"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.

None of their movies as of late have disappointed. Great action movies with some soul in it.
