"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.
25 Worst Rappers of All Time

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

That list is a joke.

Will Smith and 2 Live Crew shouldn't be on that list
Mike Jones, Bubba Sparkx, Master P, Nelly, Chingy - there are worse rappers than them, the dude's just hating to be in the cool crowd
I woulda put P-Diddy up there before them - lazy ass flow and Mase wrote al his lyrics before he dropped out of the game. I woulda put Pete Rock on it - the guy sounded terrible when he tried to get behind a mic. Same with Jazzy Jeff. And Deborah Harry sounded like crap on Rapture

Nick Cannon is better than Master P? Come on. Also, I don't like Will Smith's music, but the only thing I think messed him up is that he stayed with his squeaky clean image too long in the same way Three-6 is turning out the same tired stuff. I agree with Ready; there are a lot worse rappers this guy could have chosen.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I like the list.
Will Smith totally deserves to be on there. Some of his old stuff was "cute" but his newer stuff makes me want to rip my ears off. He should stick to being cute.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.

Where is Kris Kross, Bow wow and Snow on this list?!
that right there is in the top 10 of worst rap of all time.
and if they had Mr. T on it, then they should have had Macho Man share the title:

Isn't Snow a "reggae" artist?DJDamage said:
"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.

I liked Informer.
I thought he sounded like a lamb. It mostly sounded like "baaaa baaaa".

"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.
