"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.

Video: Matt Damon storms off of Jimmy Kimmel set

"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 really think it was staged. There's no way they would have kept the camera on him for so long while ripping into Kimmel. And wtf was with the random shot of Ben Stiller?

yea haha it is staged. I saw another video of when he staged a snakebite. I never really followed his show before so I didn't realize that he does this stuff all the time. Pretty funny stuff tho.

That looked real. You have to understand that late night hosts are known for having fueds with stars this thing with matt daemon isn't the first one. Letterman and Leno have also had similar stuff happen on their shows.

haha oh god. Check his expressions before he "explodes" will ya. When he did that "hello, how ya doin" bit, it was slightly un-natural. And he chucks up his chin alot. Thats what alot of actors do to stop from laughing or smiling too much, because they know what is coming. The same when you see their cheek bones cringe alittle while they keep a straight face, even in the major films. It's that bit of jawline right under their ear.

It's called acting.

Get your observation skills in check. It was totally incongruent to the amount of explosion that showed next.

AND, he exploded like he kinda did in Good Will Hunting. Method acting? Whatever. ..........

Is this how bad peoples observation skills are on a BOARD that "SPECIALIZES" in SOCIAL SKILLS?!?!

Aw man....We have a long way to go.....

Actually, here's a real tip for people. Turn off the sound of your TV, and observe body language. Try and see what messages they are converying. It helps if you know the dialogue, so you can match it up. But just do that, and make your own observations. The real chat shows are best because their reactions seem to be natural and reacting to the moment.
It'll help you out a bit

I don't know man. Yeah, Matt Damon could certainly keep a straight face, but Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't be able to. He's not an actor, and I think HIS reactions in particular seem genuine. He doesn't crack a smile at all once Damon explodes, and follows him out of the studio trying to calm him down.

I'm still on the fence, but it would be surprising if Kimmel was that good at keeping a straight face.

Hehe, doesn't really matter much to me. Looks like some pretty decent acting.. haha

I just really enjoyed the Bourne Identity and Supremacy. I can't wait for the Bourne Ultimatum to come out.

could you elaborate a bit more on this? i'm interested in learning how to keep a straight face.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
