The "Brad Pitt" Rule

Although I am young (26) and single (yeah I can't believe it either), I have learned a lot about dating from personal experiences and also stories from others.  But there is one lesson that trumps the rest.

One of the most common things I encounter that guys do NOT know or understand is a phenomenon known as the "Brad Pitt" rule.  This rule is simple and clear, but because a lot of men become blinded by love's headlights, they do not see the "Brad Pitt" rule happening to them.

The 5 W's of the "Brad Pitt" rule..
  • Who - You and a woman
  • What - A measuring tool of a girl's interest in you
  • When - From the first time you meet a girl til forever
  • Where - Anywhere in the world where there is a male pursuing a female
  • Why - Because men need to be clear with their romantic chances with a women
Now that you know the 5 W's, lets jump straight into the rule itself by setting up a scenario...

So, you just met a woman of interest or are in the beginning stages of a relationship and you want to measure how "in to you" she is.  Well here is the perfect time for the Brad Pitt rule.  You first must ask her out on a date, to hang out or to just spend some time together.  Once this is done, you only need wait for her response to be able to implement the Brad Pitt rule.

This rule is: if Brad Pitt were to ask your woman of interest out to do the same thing you did, what would she do?  I guarantee you that she would make any and all changes necessary to be able to accept Brad Pitt's invitation to a date, to hang out or spend time with him.  This is the Brad Pitt rule.  Simply put, if the woman is interested in you she will make the same accommodations to her schedule to spend time with you, just as if you were Brad Pitt; even though we all know you are far from it haha jk bs.

(PS to the BPR...you would be a fool to disagree with me if you feel any woman would not jump on the opportunity to spend time with Brad Pitt, he is one of the sexiest and most dashing men to have walked the earth.  I have chosen this picture from "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" to exemplify his awesomenss.)


Now understanding the Brad Pitt rule, look to see how the woman you have invited to spend time with responds.  There are a few ways she can respond and each gives an accurate measurement of her interest she has in you.  Here is a quick list of possible reactions should could have:
  1. She accepts your invitations willingly - She is interested in you
  2. She declines your invitation, but recommends another time - She is busy, but still interested
  3. She declines your invitation politely - She has no interest in you relationship wise
  4. She does not respond to your invitation - She has no interest in you at all

You now know the Brad Pitt rule, but it is up to you to either implement it into your dating life OR be foolish by continuing to be blinded by love's headlights and making excuses to why a woman does not respond to your invitations.

I plead with you that you choose the first of these two options and find a woman who is truly interested in you and who eventually would rather spend time with you over any of the world's "Brad Pitts"!

And just for the heck of it, here's another pic of Brad Pitt (or as I refer to him, the white version of me).


You're welcome to all girls looking at this picture right now.
