"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.

I don't know if this has ever been discussed on here before but has anyone seen 'Up in the air"?

(Spoilers): Succesful guy loves his single career life going about his sh!t happy as can be but constantly being questioned by women about his 'abnormal' life priorities. So eventually he thinks ok, let's see what the deal is with normal society expectations. Gets oneitis, rocks up at her door and BAM she has a husband and kids, guy is burned.

Maybe I missed key messages in this movie, what I took from this was do what makes you happy not what fairytale society expects of you, rather refreshing for Hollywood I thought.
 

"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.

I don't know if that movie actually tries to make a point. It just tries to be ironic. The guy finally decides to settle down, yet the girl he wants is not available.

he movie also shows the hypergamous side of the woman. she is married, has kids, a good career....and yet, get involved with a fellow male traveller! she is the real DJ, theAFC is none other than mR DJ himself, G Clooney!
a bit of a power trip for the girls as he crashes and burns from being ...up in the air

So true, she's is the gamer there. Clooney was a happy man with goals before the ladies started f*!king with his head!
