"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.
Tom Cruise's view on Psychology

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Why do people keep bringing this up, Let me ask you why do you bring this up again? It's been 3 years...get over it fvck! It's almost as bad as talking about a girl from a year ago saying "What could have been."
Get over it this is Cruise's opinion stop beating a dead horse.

Man, It´s just to discuss. The year means nothing!
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Tom Cruise has made some good points but only because he was looking for faults due to his own scientology beliefs whom he tries to sell to the masses as an alternative solution, as opposed to having a more balanced view of the positives and negatives of psychology and the usage of drugs.
Paradox....
NO I dont have a problem with anyones beliefs OR opinion I never stated that I had a problem with the OP'S opinion on Cruise or what he said since in fact the OP never really made his opinion clear in any of his posts except the fact that he called him bossy.
I can say that I like Cruise as an actor, he is in really good movie's and nothing can take that away from him. Yes people can talk trash and make fun of him about his views on life but so what...I doubt he really gives a sh1t what the majority of people think about him since he probably has enough money to live off of for the rest of his life, plus the fact that his wife has become an even BIGGER STAR since she married Cruise. You can say whatever you want about Katie but she was nothing until everyone started hearing her with Cruise, so now she can make a movie and get good money since she is know and thus have more money in the family and practically set for life.
Yes I have heard some crazy stuff about Cruise but so what I dont have any right to judge the guy except for his portrayal in his movies. Plus the fact that he probably get's lot's of pressure from the Scientology community to bring in my big names doesnt help his image either. Cruise is a big name and I dont agree with attacking someone on national tv but it was his choice and he DID apologize afterwards but still this is a 3 yr old discussion I think it's been talked about enough.

"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.

Ok man, for you it´s enough. I didn´t even know when this program took place. The idea was to discuss about psychology.
I don´t get why the "attacks". If it bothers you, ignore it.

There's the neverending clinical bias that has planted itself in the public's mind. The media seeking definite answers to research and mere proposals (which keep scientists going), psych jargon that typical laypeople tend to disregard and build their own conclusions on, the fact that these laypeople still insist that psychological research is harmful for participants when informed consent is garnered (w/the exception of some experiments lacking in internal validity) and that research proposals are sent to IRB's if in question and even if not. Read the Keith Stanovich book, very concise and it's 12 chapters.
While I am not commenting on the topic itself, I think it was pretty crappy that Cruise kept saying that he was right because he is more informed on the topic. Instead of saying you're right, why not prove it if you're so smart?!
The last part of it was just a blatant attack on the reporter and not an intelligent conversation about the topic.
