There's good karaoke 'singers'?iqqi said:
"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.
Any singers here?

"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.

Of course, because I claim I can, Iqqi has to question it
No, that would be Skid Row. I almost popped a nut trying to do 18 & Life.
I have a crazy-ass range (around 3 octaves) so I'm happy enough with that. People are kinda blown away when they hear me do stuff like Neil Diamond, then go straight into Guns N Roses.

I do some vocals, pretty good range I guess...anywhere from Johnny Cash to an Axl Rose 'yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhh!!!!'... Been trying to find band to sing for around here for a while...
I'm a killer on karaoke nights though.

(raises hand) I sing . My family is highly music oriented. Both my parents surrounded me with music ever since I was a baby and singing and playing instruments(both my parents played guitar) just came naturally.

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.

You must not be able to sing. I mean, why would a guy who sings good say that singing is gay? I tend to make fun of some impressive skills other guys have that I dont.Bible_Belt said:
Singing good, and playing guitar are just two of the tools I've used effectively to get ass. I rarely use it to assist me, but I can always pull it out, and predictablly facilitate the sarge. It is great to have many skills.
I'm a very good singer, but it's gotten me nowhere. I did get standing ovations last time at karaoke, packed bar, lotsa women sitting in front row. I didn't follow up, just hung around with my loser co workers. Just a bit clueless with the ice breaker. Some chick approached me, but she was average looking at best.
I'm the Chinese Usher : ). I do mainly R'n'B, can do acapella as well.

Bass in choir, Baritone as a soloist. I'm short and skinny and look like a typical tenor until I belt out low Es louder than anyone else in the room... it really throws people off, hahah.

I've been known to sing a bit, but am a far better drummer and guitar player.
Have 2 voices: a low-register that sounds sort of like Ian Curtis (Joy Division), and a snotty, punky Johnny Rotten sort of rasp.
