"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is it just me, or is the psytrance scene a full-on sausage fest? I love the music, the outdoor camping festivals, even the "hippie-ness" to some degree. But I can't seem to find very many women who are down with the scene, or have even heard of it. As I go along trying to get something started with the ladies, I'm keeping an eye out specifically for psytrance chicks. To this day I'm still looking. Is this a universal phenomenon in the psytrance scene, or just isolated to Arizona.
 

"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.

PsyTrance makes the ultimate driving music! Unfortunately the scene is a bit thin ever since the millenium came around.

Theres plenty of women in the goa scene here in Australia, but not women id ever be interested in dating. Seems they're all either drug abusers, hippies or have steroid built boyfriends who sit in the middle of the dancefloor glaring at everyone. And a few people who fall into all three categories.
 

"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.

I'm a major Psy/goa trance fan since 1995. I've never been into the scene much as the hippy image/lifestyle doesn't appeal to me, but the music blows my mind!

That said, I've not heard much quality stuff for a long time. It's all leaning too much towards ambient/dub/electronic for my liking and I prefer it hard, deep and fast! (don't we all! ;)

Apart from Misted Muppet (who is my favourite artist since Hallucinogen), there aren't many highlights I can think of. Though any recommendations would be welcome.

Cosma - Simplicity is not to be missed
Also try the Reefer Madness comp on TIPWorld.
And if anyone is into psytrance, and is from Arizona, check out http://www.overmindworks.com and http://www.massabduction.com

As for the women in the scene, I know of exactly one single lady, and she's hot, but I'm already in the friend zone there (on purpose - she has hotter friends). Every other woman I meet has been brought in by her boyfriend and isn't really that into it. Since I have limited exposure to the scene (mostly AZ and CA), I was curious if this is universal? Am I better off holding out for a psytrance chick, or should I just find someone to bring into the fold?
