"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I just saw the movie last night and I have to say it was GREAT!! The new bond is pretty good and I definetely liked the more hands on fighting. There were still a lot of guns though. Excellent movie to go see!!
 

"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 am a huge Bond fan and I would have to say that this movie sucked. For example, why would the guy who got the money at the end call Bond out of the blue for no reason?

I thought about this one real hard...

And it didn't seem to add up...

The torture scene, just lost me. Totally not the James Bond I know. Funny, yes, but not the suave character of 007.

This movie had far more universal appeal then the others, more emotion to it than just yay kill sex rocketships sharks and, gadgets! Fair warning if you like the bond films for the Q, hes not in this one.

It also seems very out of whack, this supposed to be the "beginning of bond" and there is all this modern day technology in the movie.

It was a good watch, but it's not what you expect from 007

The only problem i had is; i was a little confused at how he found out that that old guy was a double agent.....

Bond realized something was fishy because Mathis knew he and Vesper were out eating. If Mathis wanted to talk, he would have followed along. Moreover, what does Mathis have to hide from Bond? He knew Vesper and him were in it together.

Mathis, was never a double agent, in the books he is a good and longtime friend of Bond. I am pretty certain he is not a double agent in the movie either (although Bond is skeptical). Mathis will return as a reoccurring character like Felix. The plot device served as misdirection from the real double agent.
 

"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.
