"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.
50 cents new album
- Thread starter S0LID
- Start date
"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.

Good job making assumptions. No, I don't listen to underground only. In fact, I barely listen to any underground music. The type of music I like and listen to the most is classic rock, and it has been the past ~4 years. I don't like most modern music, but I won't say that I hate all of it (mainstream MTV pop punk rock I can say that I DO HATE).Originally posted by TheInfamousCBear
You must be one of those kids who think they are cool cause they hate mainstream and listen to underground only, God forbid something is actually entertaining...You want deep lyrics and introspection and the meaning of life in a song, go read a book or talk to your parents or something...You prolly just started listening have you? Alot of young new listeners are backpackers like you...
Nowhere did I say I was looking for deep lyrics in music. I was simply stating that the lyrics in mainstream rap suck. I didn't say I didn't like all mainstream rap, I actually said that I do like some mainstream rap.
No, I'm not a "backpacker young new listener". While I don't know a lot about rap (I just listen to what I like, don't really pay much attention to the artist and album and stuff), I know a ton about classic rock from the 60s and 70s, and only know a couple people who know more about that music than I do.
So don't go making assumptions about my musical tastes based solely on a comment saying that most mainstream rap lyrics suck. And whether you agree with that statement or not, I think you can admit (as it's plainly obvious) that most rap lyrics are on the same stuff.

Most mainstream rap is garbage. Then again, a lot of underground is garbage as well.

The fact of the matter is, most mainstream rap is garbage. They are trying to appeal to a broad audience. Anytime you do this, you must sacrifice originality.
I must give 50 props for going platinum in 5 days though.
"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.

Wow, you really are dumb. Did you completely miss the part about where I said I liked a lot of rap, most of it mainstream?Originally posted by TheInfamousCBear

I happen to like several of 50 cent's songs, so that's why I went into this thread. I already said just because I think his lyrics suck, doesn't mean I don't like his music.

Even think about it for a second. If you want to listen to "music" just because it "sounds good" .. well something that rhymes just sounds a LOT better than something that doesnt. So the guy still has a point.
"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.

It isnt my fault I didnt want to read your resopnse, with you talking about classic rock and sh1t...Thats when I stopped...Next time, get to the point of what you are trying to say in a shorter way please...Originally posted by familyguyfan

No sorry...Rap these days are about how the song sounds...Before, it was lyrics, lyrics, lyrics...Then the west coast came out and they were actually making songs with melodies, and the east coast hated the fact that they sold so much and they wernt that lyrical...Nowadays, you need one or more good flows and mic presence...Look at 50, Em, Jay, Luda, etc...People like them cause they proved their skills on their early albums and now they make songs that sound good, once they realized people dont listen that much to lyrics anymore...Like many others, I used to hate 50 cause he toned his lyrics down from the mixtapes, but his flows got wayyy better and he knows how to write songs and he has good charisma when he raps, it sounds good to listen...Jada has the same flow on every song, sure he can ride beats well, but I have NEVER heard him switch his flow up and he cant write a good song for his life, just freestyles...Even think about it for a second. If you want to listen to "music" just because it "sounds good" .. well something that rhymes just sounds a LOT better than something that doesnt. So the guy still has a point.
So rap today...Flows > Lyrics....If you dont like it, dont listen...

Oh, come on. Quit trying to play it off like it's my fault. You shouldn't go running your mouth (or typing in this case) if you're not gonna read what I wrote. It makes you sound like an idiot.Originally posted by TheInfamousCBear

And it's not like I said that last even. I said it about 4 sentences into my post, which really wasn't even that long. Hell, I even said it in my first post. Did you not read that one either?

cant **** with that.
Which sounds just the same as
"I got the magic stick" 50 is unoriginal.
"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.
Who ever said the west came out with melodies and lowly lyrics dosen't get it. 2pac, nwa,snoop, dre,etc. They where all lyrical so what are you talking about? The east was also full of crazy beats and they wasen't mad at that. THey was mad for the 2pac biggie beef.
Some ya is sleeping of 50, even thought i don't really like him he still got it.
**********trivia for those that think they know ***********
What does the name 50 cent mean?
If you are acting like a rap critic then you should know this.
BTW most rock is garbage
most is whinny b1tchy **** full of sh1tty "power chords"
and pretentious lyrics about how hard it is to deal
with parents/girls/pets.
Then there's adult rock like u2. Full of hypocritic lyrics about peace
, feeding the hungry and social issues that the singers dosen't give a **** about.
This is what rock is. I'll b the first person to say i don't know **** about it ( just like the haters don't know about rap) but at least it shows nobody has 2 likes what you like either.
If you want artistic music listen to classical or jazz.

what the fuvk are you talking about? I wasnt arguing what rap is about these days. I said that it sounds better if it rhymes, which is true. Is your brain not capable of understanding this?Originally posted by TheInfamousCBear

That's funny.. I listen to rock and agree... that part with pets is funny. Regardless of how much I love Megadeth, there is no substitute for Tupac.
