"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.
Who are your role models?
- Thread starter Michael Chief
- Start date
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"whats up? 1....2....3.... whats up?"
damn funny..
i think technically, chris kattan's character is probably slightly more "dj" but they are both bumbling AFC's...
great movie..
very hard to have a character for a role model i think.. and i really don't know whats the deal with all the anime/games guys..
the character i enjoyed watching most was mel gibson in lethal weapon 1. best display of the "don't give a ****" attitude that i've seen..
also, i was watching a bit of "a clockwork orange" this afternoon. and the lead guy in that is pretty smooth.
In life though, its hard to look past whatever team you most supports star player isn't it? and probably even more so, just the best player in your favourite sport.
"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.
My only idol is my dad. Sure, there's plenty of cool people that can make me laugh, kick ass, look like a badass, but the only person I would want to be like is my dad.

i cant belive no one has mentioned a true don juan,
Johnny Depp
, he is awesome"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You need to stop taking things so seriously. I'm being really light here, told you who I think is cool, not who I exactly want to be like (since they are fictional).
Real role models?
- My DAD; he's totally badass with crazy backbone, courage to take on anything, and will do anything for our family. He's also built and has the best taste in everything. Also managed to hook up with the hottest girl back then, who's now my mom. My dad pwnz. Total Alpha. He's the most respectable man I've ever seen.
- My UNCLE; age 39 and not married, doesn't believe in marriage. He's dating over 30 girls right now. A total pimp. He's got the craziest game EVER. But that's not what makes me want to be like him, it's the fact that he has amazing confidence. He's a pilot, and 15 years he suffered a real crazy accident which left his arm and the top of his head completely burnt / deformed; but that didn't slow him down and doesn't slow him down today. He's one of the most respectable man in the city.
My goal is to be better than both of them.

My fault, I apparently mis-read the thread's title. Apparently "role models" is pronounced "fictional video game people I think are cool".
Definitely, he's one of my role models. he's too cool for words... :woo:Originally posted by FriendlyFriend

Bruce Lee is another.
And the last one is me! i'm aiming to be a more confident/assertive/laid back type of guy, altho change doesnt happen overnight, im aiming towards it.
In a real sense, myself, and Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods, not because he'd be the first billion dollar athlete, and not because he's solely responsible for changing golf and making it "cool", but because he has no yard stick. His role models are his parents and the greats of the game are only a goal to beat. If he had role models, he'd have limitations. He's constantly getting better, he gives his best, and never measures that by what other people think or have done.

"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.

I bear many, many similarities to Jesus Christ.

Oh, please... you know I'm your role model. Me and Jesus.
