"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.
Bono of U2 has the best singing voice of any rock band?

"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.

"Best voice" could mean anything from techiinical proficiency, to control and ability to stay on-pitch, to simply singing with the integrity that fits him (even if he isn't technically proficient.
Bono usually maintains the integrity of himself and his band, but his pitch is all over the place.
For myself, I truly enjoy technically proficient singers (they are very rare) but non-proficient singers can inject an incredible amount of emotion via their style, and they are therefore equally if not more enjoyable to listen to.
I'm a singer-songwrite myself and all I can say is that God you don't have to be a technically proficient singer in order to have a loyal following. It's all about style and evoking emotions.
Kind of like pickup, eh?
"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.

Certainly you can spare a couple of your millions to buy this guy as an addition to your...harem?cordoncordon said:
You do brag incessantly about how rich you are and what a "man" you are?
Where's my $1000 check? You did wager it.
Like every other bang-his-chest douche, you'll disengage and run away to find someone with no sense to hopefully give you more green dots.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

They are definiately comparable. I love U2, I think Bono could be considered "one of the best" singers in Rock history in terms of range and ability.Rubirosa said:
Axl Rose is my favorite out of that list. Even if you don't like Guns N Roses you can't deny his ability to hit high notes and hold notes etc...
Shame no one has mentioned Robert Plant yet!!
But Marvin Gaye is the best singer out of anyone mentioned so far =D
