"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.

Went and saw it with the G/F yesterday and i can say without shadow of a doubt Its quite easily the most AFC garbage movie I Have ever seen in my life bar none. 95% of the movie was litterally cringe worthy. Guys saying they love the girl after like two dates, men being told to forgive women for their faults (which in one case is being cheated on) the only seemingly alpha male turns out to be gay.

also the gender roles had been completely reversed with julia roberts of all people supposedly being the tough single mum whos a soldier in the army. Ontop of all this I only saw the movie to see Jessica alba and shes on screen for all of about 5 minutes.

overall lesson save your money and never watch this movie!

end rant :crazy:
 

"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.

Honestly, are you even surprised the movie was like that? The movie is a chick-flick targeting Valentines Day (guy does anything to please the girl)

Unfortunatly I did expect it to be very average, but this was a whole new world of average.

well at least it was better than "Dear John"

it's a feel good movie, and not really about reality...I actually enjoyed watching it with my sister and our girl cousin (both 16...I'm 23)
 

"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.

You expected anything better from such a brown-nosing society? People aren't in it for reality. It's obvious when movies like "Avatar" made a **** load of money. TS you should have checked your woman because I know it had to have been her idea to see such a garbage ass film.

Valentine's Day fulfills its purpose. It is a sweet film, suitably sweet in the ways of love, with a constant head shot of who's who celebrity actors. It's a very glib, shallow movie, but it keeps you moving around enough that you could actually have a good time.

I watched the movie on HBO out of curiosity. I like watching the occasional chick-flick just to laugh at how retarded they are. Any 12-year-old can write a chick-flick.

Valentines Gay was written by a woman (Katherine Fugate). The same woman who wrote New Years Eve which.. amazingly.. is an even bigger pile of sh!t than Valentines Gay.

Think of it as a James Bond movie for women. It's cheesy, escapist, fantasy stuff...nothing more.

op is an afc for going to watch that instead of watching the new die hard,gangster squad, or at least the hobbit
 

"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.
