"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.

If you had only 1 song to help motivate you, what will it be? It can be for anything, competitions, sarging basically anything under the sun you might find yourself needing that extra boost.

Heres mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDvr08sCPOc

Hopefully this thread can help some people find some motivation in music to carry on with whatever they want to achieve!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I'm a musician so a lot music pumps me up. But for an adreniline type pump-up I would have to go with.

Slipknot-Psycosocial (Awesome riffs and catchy lyrics)

About time someone named a true pump me up song in this thread. Slipknot rocks.

Wtf is up with all this rap crap? I like some rap...but man, it's so incredibly fake to me. All these black guys acting all "gangsta". Please. I did like that first song though.

Thread asks for a song that pumps ME up. I didn't post it for anyone else. No one said you need to like or agree with our choices.

Everyone is so quick to judge rap, as if it effects them at all. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

And on that note, I'm adding another: Wale - Bait

cordoncordon.... Chris Brown - Beautiful People was great live. Great light show to that song to end the concert.

And yes, I'm admitting to going to a Chris Brown concert.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Heh, no need to take it so personally.

I don't like nor listen to rap. However, I was not commenting on the quality of music, but on those loser try-hards.
And I'm baffled how some people can look up to such trashy people!

Again, I'm not commenting on their music, which I don't care about.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
