"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?

Bono is definately not bad but i would not say he has the best singing voice of any rock band. :)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Huge U2 fan, but I would say Matthew Bellamy from Muse has a better singing voice.

It's probably impossible to arrive at any kind of concensus as to a standard of judgment.

"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?

Agreed. He even did a better job singing Where the Streets Have No Name than Bono himself (at least present day Bono)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I certainly think so, although Mike Patton from Faith No More was great (but Faith No More was not really rock, they were grunge).

Anyone agree or disagree?

I cried when they did bloody sunday, silly me.
and i was at his party in paris during the fashion week.

Wow. Great job.
Certainly you can spare a couple of your millions to buy this guy as an addition to your...harem?

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.

stop being jealous, It makes your face look like a beauty pageant candidate that arrived in second position.
 

"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.

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.

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
