"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.
25 Worst Rappers of All Time

"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.

That list is a joke.

Master Don Juan
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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.

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:

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

"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.
