"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.

Hey guys, I got an evil idea a couple of days ago.

I'm gonna post some Bryan Adams lyrics and you are gonna tell me what you think.

I mean, is this guy the worst AFC or what???

And then... I'm gonna send this forum url to him by sending an e-mail to a direction on his official site.
Maybe his next songs will be more DJ... who knows, miracles happen every once in a while :D

Anyway, here they are:

1)
Please Forgive Me


It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still hold on and you're still the one
The first time our eyes met it's the same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger and I wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on

So If you're feelin' lonely.. don't
You're the only one I'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me

This pain I'm going through
Please forgive me
If I need ya like I do
Please believe me
Every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch

We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough I'm still holdin' on
You're still number one I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you
I remember the nights ya know I still do

One thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
And the one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'...


2) Everything I Do - I Do It For You


Look into my eyes you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do I do it for you

Look into my heart you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you


SHOOT AWAY :D
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Dude, the only cool thing Bryan Adams ever did was let Slayer record their last album in his studio in Vancouver.

Man... Most music artists ARE "AFC". Backstreet Boys, Lifehouse, Longview, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, etc. You'd think rappers would be more DJ but if you've ever listened to a rapper like Nelly talk about women... Even the rappers are AFC.

But women love them anyway. Know why? Besides the fact that they have money, and status... They make music. And women love a guy that can make music. I rap. I use that to my advantage.
 

"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.

think about it morons.

why did brian adams sell more records then the guy who wrote the song about the 3 second rule?

why did nickleback sell more records then the guy who wrote the song about isolation?

PUA/DJ music wouldn't sell.. because the majority of the world are AFC's.. 100% of women are AFCs and 99% of men are AFCs.

Brian Adams might be a major player in real life. and he sings some whiney songs to make money. sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Meh... AFC or not, he's made some great music. It's also the women that really love the lyrics.

Anyway... i'm off to listen to some Children of Bodom....

GAMMA RAY - HELL IS THY HOME

Taken where the thunder rolls, into the blazing light
The hand of fate is crushing down before me
The eyes of god have turned away, no angels are in sight
As I face the final chapter of our story

And now I hear the millions cry, screaming
Into obvilion you take their lives
Hell is thy home

[Refrain]
Hell is thy home, darkness thy destiny
Where you belong, no need for sympathy

The antichrist is back again
Disguised as the saviour of man

Servants of evil breed evil

Storm fills the clouds, I'll wait for the fall
Sowing the end, grace comes to fall
And now you're waiting for a sign, dreaming
The day is near when all the world is thine
Because hell is thy home, yeah!

[Refrain]
Hell is thy home, darkness thy destiny
Where you belong, no need for sympathy

Again you watch the millions die, no tears in your eyes
And your followers will hall, the forces of evil won't fail

In the great white hall
A monster's working on the fall
It's bloody war will kill us all

[Refrain]
Hell is thy home, darkness thy destiny
Where you belong, no need for sympathy

Hell is thy home, darkness thy destiny
Where you belong, no need for sympathy

Hell is our home!

You're missing the point completley, buddy.

Most music is AFC and women just melt over gooey lyrics. The biggest Don Juan in the world can sing the most AFC stuff and it is completly cool, as long as it hits women in just the right way.

It has nothing to do with Bryan Adams, himself... and if you dig a little deeper, I'm sure you'll find that many of his songs were written by other people.

I'm a songwriter, and much of my lyrics could be considered AFC.... and I don't give a fvck. I've made girls cry with a song; and THAT's powerful.
 

"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.

@Canadian - exactly... women are the main meat market for those.. Either way, Adams is a great performer.

Gotta agree with Bad Ass Canadian. It's all about the money.

As for AFC lyrics and such, I think the worst victim is Michael Bolton. If you dig deep into his past, he was into rock, and plays a damn decent lead guitar. He couldn't make any money doing rock tunes, so he converted to wimp music. That's when he started selling albums.

Exactly. Out of the two songs of mine with the greatest response, I had one song that was more than AFC called "Living In Loves Light" that girls always talk to me about.

I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
Here to save your life
To make your wallet fat
While mine's on a diet
It's not my greatest care
But simple needs are scarce
It's never-ending
It really seems unfair
But lately I don't care
I don't care about much
I've given up trying

So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference


"Catch Without Arms" by dredg
 

"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.
