"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.

Television rots your brain.

50% are ads, and 49% isn't worth watching.

I leave 1% because sometimes there's something good.

I don't watch television, and I haven't had cable in years (not since 1991). If I see it in some hotel room or at a friend's place I always think "People actually watch this stuff??"

If I could pick and choose, so I could get just what I want and nothing else, I might consider subscribing. Until then, I don't think so.

"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.

I think I mentioned a while ago that I caught The Simpsons and decided to sit down and watch it. What the hell happened to that show? It turned into absolute nonsense! It just reminded me of why I've never made a phone call to the cable company.

Ironically many of the best programs (especially documentaries) are on the government channel. And even more ironically, the govt channel is also the best news channel. Screw democratic media, the govt newscasters knows their sh*t! Heh.

By the way, for the guys who never watch TV, do you play any computer games? Use the internet for entertainment purposes? That stuff rots your brain :)

I don't watch TV anymore. It's too depressing; nothing but greed, pain, violence, and death ... and that's without including the news.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Like Abbott said, TV rots your brain. IMO the 1% that's good would be comedy. Not like Simpsons or Family guy, but stand up comedy performances because you can actually gain somehing from it.

I was waiting for Rollo Tomassi to jump in here and proclaim:

"T.V. is for women"

He hasn't, so I just did. It's not worth sitting through the man-bashing commercials to get to the man-bashing programming, at least, not for any man with a shred of self-respect left.

I used to watch the History Channel and Military Channel a lot, but turning on the T.V. and paying for cable just doesn't seem worth it, not when I could be doing 50,000 other things with that time and money.

I second that.

TV IS PURE CRAP! It's basically misinformation AND advertising. They might as well pay me to watch it, at least it would be fair to the amounts of money they get brainwashing people.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Stand-Up, Daily Show and Colbert Raport, and Family Guy. Of course I tivo it and skip the comercials. Maybe 3 -4 hours a week during summer and 2 hours a week the rest of the year.
 

"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.

The only shows I watch regularly are the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. And occasionaly I would catch an episode of Jeopardy or Seinfeld.

Don't really watch TV at all, and they all sit powered off most of the time, which is the way I like it. I agree it rots your brain.

Our TVs are mostly for movies (and the kids). We have a dedicated movie room. The TV shows that I like we either have on DVD, or the DVR records the whole season and I watch them at the end as one big marathon.

It's pretty sad to watch tv, especially most shows are reality shows - I feel a pathetic when I'm watching tv. I usually download series. Having said that:

Conan O'brien
Masterminds - show about great theives

I like House, Numbers, 24, and Prison Break... though the latter are too often stretching the improbability of the plot twists too far into deus ex machina fantasy land to suit me as of late. That, some cartoons (Family Guy, KIng of the Hill, etc.), and a few sports events. Not a religious follower of any of them.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
