"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".
"com wid a nice yung lady..."

I still love that song.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

there was a girl rap song in 88 that went like this :
"grab it, grab it if you want it"

that was the worst!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hurricane Chris and Souja Boy should be on that list. These 2 are a prime example of why Hip Hop is dead, they come up with this garbage called music and pass it off as hip hop

i know nelly isnt the most lyrical rapper out but he brings alotta energy and he makes good party songs so i dont think he should be on the list...
 

"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.

All of those acts named in the list made money. There are 10,000 other bands who only wish they could have made that list.

2pac and Biggie co-reign as the greatest rappers of all time.

I cannot resist but to say that I have met and partied with a rapper who should be on that list but is not. He has a cheesy rap song everyone knows. I won't name him, since he is a friend, but he should be on that list.

The list creator will burn in hell (if there is one) for putting Will Smith on this list.

Yeah he wasn't a gangsta rapper but he was wicked talented for his demographic ie non gangsta's, families and kids.

In other words he was and is the Nintendo of rap.

The list creator could not of possibly heard the awesome song "Summertime" to of put Will on the list.

Other than that I mostly agree with the list except Vanilla Ice should of been at #2 while Eminem was at #1.

Nelly completely sucks except for the duet "Dilemma" featuring Kelly Rowland so he's acceptable as being on the list.

ICP is alright and sometimes funny but I may be biased since I am a Michigan dweller and we tend to see the humour in the group. I don't think ICP should be on this list.

2 Live Crew was another stupid decision. They shouldn't be on the list.

Yeah it was a solid list except for a few glaringly stupid mistakes of putting talented people on there.

Where's hurricane chris?

Will Smith, Nelly, Master P, and Bubba shouldn't be on there. Even ICP is pretty funny I wouldn't put them on there.

You got to be kidding.

Em is up there with Nas and Jay Z.

I don't know about that; he's good, but you got Scarface, UGK, Outkast, and Dr. Dre at least who go before him.
 

"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.

Where is Kris Kross, Bow wow and Snow on this list?!
Without Kris Kross when in world would anyone get the chance to say "Wiggidy Wack!" However, Family Guy's Quagmeier's "Giggidy Goo" does come close. Also, the jury is still out on Snow's line "I lick your boom-boom down.." That sounds a bit unsanitary... :nervous:

Nelly has the lyrical ability of a five-year old. He really does belong on that list. ICP were awful mainly because they wanted to be.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
