"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.

hey guys just read on the internet a list of films which are guaranteed to make us men cry. There is "judy" "saving private ryan" "titanic" "apollo 13" "notebook" etc. etc. I watched 6 of those and haven't cried yet.
I mean sure i cried when watching movies, comon we all been there, don't laugh. A.I(artificial inteligence by Steve Spielburg) got me going twice. How about you, comon don't be afraid, we won't call u a sissy.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

AI was such a bad movie that i didnt feel any emotion towards it. the main character was a bloody robot, who gives a **** if robots show emotion. its a bloody robot!!

Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, Apollo 13?? those arn't going to make you cry

Notebook if you're a girl

and Armageddon if you're watching it for the first time in a dark room

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I don't understand people who cry over movies. They're only movies. I'm not claiming that I've never cried but when I have its been because I was sad for actual reasons. Not something on a screen designed to conjure emotions.

I cried watching "My Girl" when I was 11 years old.


Shawshank redemption made me cry.
Rocky Balboa made me cry (when Rocky was reminiscing over Adrian)
A.I. Made me almost cry. (I was with my friend and his girlfriend. Wasn't going to cry in front of them. lol)


Video games that made me cry
The ending to Metal Gear Solid 3
Max Payne 2 made me cry. Hahaha
OMG Bioshock's ending (the good one) made me weep. And it was only less than a minute long! Beautiful!

I never cry at movies, mainly because I don't see that many sad movies anyways, but Jarhead really shook me up. Really. One of the only army movies, besides Platoon, that I got an authentic vibe from.
 

"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.

The Lion King.

Specifically, when the dad died.

I was a kid, give me a break.

The end scene of the Man on Fire remake starring Denzel Washington where he rescues the little girl and talks to her on the bridge all the while you know that to save her he has to give up his life.

Angelina Jolie in "Gia." Not necessarily the entire movie but there were a couple of scenes where it was very apparent that she is a woman with many talents.

Beautiful man, just beautiful! :cry:
 

"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 don't cry at movies. I cried when I was 9 at Death of a Salesman, but as far as that type of thing goes, that's the only thing I can remember crying at. I get the lump in the throat on occasion, but even then, that's rare.

I made the mistake of laughing my butt off - loudly - while watching Cruel Intentions, and nearly got jumped by angry girls who practically stalk Ryan Phillipe. But I just thought it was hilarious. Here he is, talking about how people are sheep. Whole movie - people are such stupid sheep. And he cacks off, and the whole audience of girls is crying their eyes out at his death - which makes them like sheep. Made me laugh.

There's a great song by Dropkick Murphies - "Wicked, Sensitive Crew" - "I ain't ashamed I cried when Micky died in Rocky II!"

classic

I tear up
same here, made me teary eyed. I have to admit when Spock dies in star trek 2 I get teary eyed watching his conversation with Captain Kirk. Another movie would be the land before time 1, when the mom dies and little foot has to fend for himself. Those 3 movies get me emotional but I can't remember if I have shed a tear or not. I shed a tear or 2 but full blown crying is something I haven't done in like more than a decade!
