"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.

I liked it. A lot

But maybe its not a good movie on its own merits. I feel this could have been a mediocre movie if you took away the Mario IP and used new characters instead.

But as it is, it felt like a movie made for the fans. Basically 90 minutes of pure fan service.

Hope they make a Nintendo Cinematic Universe like Marvel. The NCU
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

@Dr.Suave is it worth it? I was asked to go see it with some buds, but felt somewhat opposed to it given Chris Pratts voicing mario and yada yada

If you are a big fan of the games, then yes, totally worth it and enjoyable imho. Its a popcorn movie.
 

"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.

Bump.

Appently the movie is being very succesfull in many metrics, despite the woke and lgbt+ community trying to boicott it for not being woke and inclusive.

I think cinematic universes inevitably lead to the horse being beaten to death.

Marvel should have stopped at Endgame.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah, I guess you are on to something. The MCU has not been the same after Endgame.

I mean, I liked the Spiderman Movies a lot but most MCU stuff post endgame has been Medicore vs before Endgame I liked everything Eexcept Captain Marvel. Maybe they should have stop introducing new characters after Endgame and just finish the remaining contracts/storylines like Spider-Man, Guardians vol 3, Loki, etc.

Is this movie any different than simply watching someone play the damn game?

Let's put some respect in the Pitchfork name. This is not sh1t you boycott over.

Had to go see it cause my friend's nephews wanted to. It is definitely a kid's movie. But you can tell Hollywood's rampant feminism struck again as we saw Princess Peach turned into an annoying female action character that not only took the spotlight, but she could beat up anyone, was never hurt, and she belittles everyone around her. Sounds familiar? Cause it is. Mario's name is on the title but it's technically a Peach movie. The Rey Skywalker trope strikes again.

Another woke trash.
