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.
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.
Defending a convicted sex offender is not good.He did nothing wrong.
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.
I am defending a man. He didn't do any sex offenses.Defending a convicted sex offender is not good.
I think it's ignorant to assume that. There's been in the past suicide from actors and actresses highlighting sexual abuse in the industry as their motivation.I’m not sure where I stand. Those actresses would have been enthusiastically going directly to the directors D to get the role. I’m not sure how much of it is him working it, those women are power mad narcissists. Amber Heard types and I expect even if he hadnt offered they would have been actively trying to sleep with directors to try to get their chance of stardom. In the same way a lot of these Hollywood/glam women are desperate to sleep with any billionaire or high status man they can at any cost
Clearly could have done more research then.I didn’t know this, I’ve seen workplaces where several women were mad keen on sleeping with the boss. Seems power is the ultimate aphrodisiac so it logically follows actresses would follow that pattern with directors.
They all come out after they get the roles and millions of dollars don’t they? I’ve not heard of many taking a stand and turning it down.
I’ve not read up into Weinstein but it seems more “I slept with the director and got myself a very lucrative job as a result but now I have the money and fame it’s abuse”
