She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
I just want the Fresh Prince Will back.You should be a writer Pan, I'm serious.
You get quite a bit of flack on here for your hedonistic lifestyle and 1000+ notch count but damn you can write!
The above quoted - just about sums it up, lol, nuff said!
On a separate note, I watched King Richard last night for which WS won the Oscar.
He was good but not *that* good; his acting reminded me of Laurence Fishburne's portrayal of Ike Turner in "What's Love Got To Do With It" without the physical abuse.
Decent movie though.

Way to use reductio ad absurdum. You're adding "poisoning the well" ideas such as lizard people, aliens, bigfoot, flat earth, ect. to discredit a plausible idea. You don't think people of power use it to bribe and control others? Especially when it comes to mass influence the way celebrities have? Cinema was seen as a mass propaganda tool as early as the 1920s. J Edgar Hoover was very serious about keeping agents on movie sets to control what was put in the movies. What about all the Harvey Weinstein type sex stuff that supposedly goes on. Do you think Corey Feldman was lying? What about Corey Haim?
You know one of the alphabet agencies came up with the term "tinfoil hat", as well as "conspiracy theory" Gee..... I wonder why that is?
[/QUOThe lizard people are coming!
Hahahaha..it's funny I said the same thing to my friend.
