"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.

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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.
