"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.
Who else thinks Donnie Darko...

Enjoyed the Butterfly effect a lot more though it's gotten bad reviews from the critics.
"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.

But the plot lost me and I LOVE movies with a thick plot. So let me see if I understood it (or even remember it right).
Donnie dies because a plane crashes on his house or something? And somehow he "mentally projects" 30 days earlier and lives it all over again. In essence he relives the last 30 days of his life and does it right by "getting the girl".
The whole time he is reliving the thirty days he is told that "the world will end in 30 days" but what is really meant is that he will die in 30 days.
Like I said, I may not remember it right. But I seem to remember interpreting the plot that way when I saw it back in the day.
What do you guys think?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I agree. People always told me I'd love the film, but when I finally did I was rather disappointed, and I knew nothing about the film other than it'd somehow involve a bunny. With Donnie's tourette syndrome outbreaks, I felt the film was contrived and I just couldn't find myself rooting for Donnie, which is critical for anti-hero stories. I felt its ending was too predictable and lacked the distinction of a true mind fvck. In the end, it was just a high-end teen flick.Jariel said:

I will admit, the first time I seen it I was pretty bored and I protested when my roommate wanted to watch it because I thought it was to slow.

The world will end if the two universes get caught up into each other.. hence the black sky @ the end. Donnie gets to see how the world will end before he decides to kill himself. The whole movie has him 'kiiiiiiinda' knowing what is going on in the least. Hence when he is in the movie theater he says 'why are u wearing that stupid bunny costume' or when he sees the bunny in the mirror he starts poking @ the eye he shoots. Read up on it @ wikipedia or the imdb message board.
I found the movie to be very entertaining. Just a completely different feel from other movies, and the music usage is amazing. The whole tears for fears song in the beginning is like nothing i've seen in a movie before.
"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.

I appreciate them taking a real leap, and effort at making an interesting movie.
It's not a movie that works well the second time around though, well for me anyway...because you know the twists and turns.
