"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.

I saw this movie here in our local mall.

What I first thought about it was it definitely had the vibe of the original. Tom riding his motorcycles, riding motorcyles with babes, the crew singing at bars, playing sports at the beach and Maverick being a ****y hot shot taking risks and annoying his higher ups.

Another cool aspect about this movie is the less Wokeness that it has. You don't see diversity for the sake of diversity and third wave feminism being shoved in your face. It's like your back in the 80's again pretty much. There's one female pilot and she's actually pretty cool and fitted in the storyline very well.

All in all this is a solid movie. Good for a date or something you can see with your buddy.

I give this one an - A.
 

"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.

Heard great reviews about it across the board. Will definitely add to my Disney+ watchlist when it pops there after July 8th.

I felt the same way, it was well written with no bs feminism embedded. No fake girl heroes or bumbling idiot beta boys. It's definitely like going back in time.
 

"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.

Too bad that drones are getting so good that the weight of the pilot is enough to make him obsolete (the pilot could be the gamerbro commanding the craft from nearby base).

Thats what I thought too…there will come a time where we no longer need real life pilots…it’s all video game style
