"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.

In many comedies, the straight man is the alpha male and the comic is the AFC- examples- Dean Martin = alpha, Jerrry Lewis = AFC, Bud Abbot = alpha, Costilou = AFC.
 

"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.

Stifler was the friggen man!!!

Another movie that deserves recognition as the worst movie of all time goes to "along came polly" with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller.

It was disgusting and sad. Please NEVER watch that movie... EVER!!!

"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.

true stiffler was THE DJ ;)

well for starters: Every male character in a romantic movie is an afc.
The fact that they get the girl at the end is no excuse because well everything is a movie and the chocolate lobby wants to turn us guys into softies who buy the girls chocolates and flowers >> im on to you!!

Switching to TV, an awesome example of contrasted AFC vs DJ is on Two and a Half Men, DJ being "Charlie" (Charlie Sheen) and AFC being "Alan" (Jon Cryer).

I'd also say the guy from Office Space (the weird guy who loves his stapler) is what I consider the embodiment of an AFC. Not because of how he interacts with women (I don't think he does interact with women in the movie), but the way he lets his boss and all the others in the office walk all over him. Not to mention how turns out to be the typical passive-aggressive type (when he burns the place). Being an AFC is so much more than how one behaves around women. Chances are if you tolerate flat-out disrespect from others, that lack of spine/assertiveness carries over into your love life as well.

Good points, but AFC stands for AVERAGE frustrated chump. Milton is far far from average and not in a good way. A better example from OS would be the main character before he gets hypnotized.

After he gets hypnotized, he is the fvcken sh!t.

I love that movie and my business classes always talk about that movie. Amazing movie with the best damn comedy around.

btw look at the technology at that time compared to now.

"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.

It's only in AFC movies that an AFC gets the girl...and an AFC is so AFC..that he thinks after watching that AFC movie AFC is the real way to be...

Guys, we are reaching totally at a new level of swearing using this word AFC...

Howard in "In The Company of Men" - his direct opposite is Chad. Anyone wanting to see two extreme examples of opposite sides of the spectrum needs to watch this movie.

The character played by Patrick Dempsey in Sweet Home Alabama. She picks the masculine country boy over the preppy city guy.
 

"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.

This is the best scene from Swingers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmcJ7Zg5ko&feature=related

"I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man. "

I just watched some of that movie "Redline," and I gotta say that was soo painful to watch. I mean the way it went from allright to the brother dying (I think he was the best in the movie) and then the girl taking over and just screwing the boss at the end was just sooo bad.

I mean I can see what you guys are saying by the "Brainwashing," of movies these days and now I can see it in "Stomp the Yard," as well.

I guess once you can see how bad society is and how men are portrayed in the majority of movies you can see WHY the male gender is going downhill.....damn.
