"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.

AFC song?

"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.

Lol, yes. And the guy I cant decide if he looks gay or just a douchebag, but the chick is hot.

But hey, don´t work yourself up over that, we all have songs we like but would never admit it in public, and anyone who says he doesn´t is a liar. :D

Especially given how judgmental people get over music tastes. God(s) forbid you admit to liking something outside your "social class/niche/expectations" and all of a sudden your weird or a d-bag.

I don't know how I feel about songs that push AFC messages. I know that, while certainly not for everyone, some people are influenced by music. I've never felt that a song is "corrupting my game" but then again I'm not easily influenced by music. If you are more emotional at heart, and are easily influenced then perhaps you should avoid music that may reinforce "we'll be together forever, gushy trash." Although, tbh, if listening to an mp3 so drastically damages your outlook on women that you believe giving her flowers every day will help you get it in, you might want to look up, I hear gullible is written on your ceiling. :kick:

Music speaks directly to the emotions and to the subconscious mind, largely bypassing the rational mind. It's a direct line in which bypasses most of your logical filters.

Hence, I do believe that AFC songs like this will reinforce AFCness.

Ever notice how hard it is to memorize a few sentences of a speech, yet we can sing the lyrics to practically every song we've ever heard and liked since childhood?

I think if we try to push ourselves into a certain genre of music, or ignore others then we are selling ourselves short. Music is about striking a certain emotion, whether it's happiness, sadness, party mode, or what have you. We experience them all, so learn to enjoy them all. I am a very avid music listener, and I listen to everything. There is a time and place for all of them. At the end of the day, listen to what makes you happy. Not necessarily meaning only listen to happy music, but listen to what you truly enjoy, and don't give a sh!t what anyone else thinks of it. Music is personal. If you force feed your ears with only "DJ" or "playa rap" songs, you will find yourself growing tired of it fairly quickly.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
