"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.

Anyone heard any new albums?

Namely:
Akon - Freedom

T-Pain - Thr33 Ringz

Ludacris - Theatre Of The Mind

Akon's is ok, there's probably about 4-5 songs that I like on it. I hated those other songs he released a year or so ago that were more mainstream pop. A few good slow jams/grinding music on here, always a plus.

T-Pain's album is good, I thought he was annoying when "I'm in love wit a stripper" came out, but there's some more hip hop on this thank god.

Ludacris I haven't got into as much, I only like Southern Gangsta at this stage. which is surprising because I normally like every track he puts out.

Anyone else heard them yet?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The New T-pain is pretty good.
Jeezy's New album The Recession is not bad though very political
T.I.'s Paper Trail is GREAT

Haven't picked up the Akon or Ludacris yet

New ACDC was very good.

New Guns and Roses was a let-down.

The last album i heard is Joe Budden. The album is called Halfway House and it was pretty decent but not better than Mood Muzik 3.
 

"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.

I second that Desdinova. I was expecting worse

Got the new Akon and Ludacris today. Was not impressed with Ludacris, but really like Akon's Freedom

It was better than I expected. There's a few decent songs on it. Catcher In The Rye and IRS are my favs

Yeah, it's not all bad. I guess anything is a let-down after 17 years.

Kanye West "808 and Heartbreaks". It's a departure from the usual Kanye so go in expecting it to be different, otherwise it may be a let down. I like it.

The Killers "Day and Age" Mehh... I'm still undecided about it.

Its not an album but Jay-Z's "Brooklyn Go Hard" is a damn good song.

ah, Kanyes' 808's I forgot to mention that very different from his last albums. A lot of people seem to like it. Personally its way to soft for me
