"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well what'd you expect, these days popular music like rap/hip-hop expects males to become criminals and women to be sluts. Music has a massive impact on society and the way people think, because it's always going in the background.

However I do think there will be a backlash against this whole "gangster" crap, a lot of people I know are already not into it anymore. Just like we stopped being sluts/hippies after the 60s.

Beyond your peripheral vision
stop with the rap = thugs and sluts

Really, that is just what one hears on the radio. Because that is what one buys, or requests from the radio. There are many, many hip hop acts that hate that stereotype. When rap first appeared, it was mostly as a forum to state ideals and to point out society's fVck ups. It was pretty political, hugely philosophical, and very intelligent. Alot of it still is.

People buying and requesting this sh!t keeps the cycle going. They in turn hear more of it, and get more of it, and you get more Ja rules and 50 cents.

Check out groups like the Roots, or try Talib Queli, or Mos Def. I urge everyone who is interested in real music to pick up this disc.

I'm not the biggest rap fan, but I'll be the first to say as a poet that, (excluding poprap), rap is poetry.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

How can you blame rap? More like pop at work. You got people like Brittany and Christina running around dressed like *****s. I doubt ill see a lil girl pump 50 cent up in her cd player then some pop crap. C'mon one of Americas "sex" symbol is that ***** Paris. And I ask you how did she get famous? Who the hell was Paris Hilton before her lil tape leaked and seen by all and howd she become a "role model".

Music is not the only influence, but it is a good indicator of society's attitude towards such issues.

Look at any rap video. They're all the same. A few guys and about a hundred half naked women grinding and touching themselves in a warehouse sized room or a parking lot.

It's all the same...tired, old and uninspired. I watched the MTV VMAs earlier. Most of the rap performances were so filled with bleeps that the lyrics made no sense at all. That really takes away from it all. The performances that got the crowd excited the most were Green Day, Shakira and ironically, Kelly Clarkson. Why? Because they didn't sing more of the same old same old crap we've had almost exclusively since the 90's. People are hungry for change. MTV sucks ass now. What little bit of music they play is all the same...regurgitated crap.

And yes...the music influences fashion...WAY too much.

Since the 90's rap has been influencing the rest of the music industry. The pop singers dress and act like they do because they have to...it's what is expected marketing-wise because of the impact rap had years ago. It just keeps getting worse and worse, too. And I actually like most rap music, so I'm not just saying that because I hate that music. I'm saying it because it's true.

You've got to remember that the clothing style doesn't necessarily have to do with what the performer wants. Their management gets them to endorse clothing by other companies. The two work together and it's all controlled by money. I've read somewhere that it's in Robert Plant's contract that he cannot cut his hair. That's just one example that the entertainers are not necessarily to blame for the clothes they sport.

The music industry has been corrupted on so many levels. It's all about money, not quality nor music.
 

"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.

Yes, but rappers/singers still have to dress up to their image. Eminem is not going to dress up in an Armani suit, no matter how much money Armani throws at him.

Its the overall attitude which determines everything. I mean most rap is about murdering people you don't like and slapping around "hoes and b*tches". Regardless of corporate corruption and marketing, that's still the basic attitude - killing people and slapping sluts around.

I agree. Does anyone know WHY MTV is doing this? I mean, they were all too anxious to welcome grunge rock and hip hop/rap music, but absolutely REFUSE to play hardly anything other than thug crap. I can hear "bleeps" when I walk outside in the street...THAT is NOT music!

Is it just me or was music better back then then now? Well long live rock and roll.
I thought it was just me getting older and missing "the good old days" of heavy metal (I am 30), but I don't think it is now. I got my brother listening to hard rock from the 80s and 90s and he and his freinds absolutely LOVE IT, and they are in their late teens.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

yup

I believe the rap scene died with biggy and pac. Its all about beats now, and not too much lyrics. You'll bump it a few weeks and never even wanna hear it agian. Thug rap does get annoying especially knowing 13 year old kids acting hard just cause they just heard a 50 rap.

Long live country music!!!

also rock and roll is awesome as well. Just can't stand that new age crap on MTV. Mostly because you can't understand the lyrics. Give me a song where I can understand the lyrics well and you have me hooked. That is why I like country so much because it is more about the words then the instruments.
