"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.

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. :)
 

"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.

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)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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?

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.
 

"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.

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
