Although I liked Survivorman better, I still liked his show.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
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.
Wow. And i thought the delusion stopped with women and money.Falcon said:Yea he probably is still a bad-ass in real life, but I was disappointed after seeing that clip. I was a fan when his show first started. ButI think if there is one thing that human beings can't stand the most, it is the feeling that you've been deceived or manipulated. If the show is more about the ratings than authenticity, you can count me out from watching it. Now you have to question everything he does. Like did he really eat raw zebra meat? If he didn't, then not only is he deceiving us, but he is giving horrible advice which may get someone killed. I recalled a thread on this very forum where people were contemplating to do what he did (Yikes!). There's a whole website dedicated to exposing him apparently: http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Main_Page
Uh, who treats Bear like a god? It doesn't surprise me at all.Falcon said:So no one found this surprising? It surprised me. Lately, the majority of my TV watching is with the Discovery and History channel. I always thought these two channels were at least a little more credible than the others.
I could've sworn people were treating Bear like a god not long ago.
