"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

OK I'm not the most active person in the world. I do a lot of walking but thats about it. Well basically I need to improve my agility for drumming. Really starting to feel the strain these day...(wow 17 and sound like I'm 71). Any one know how to build up agility?
 

"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.

Practice doing a tough series of notes (all over the place, microcontrol, etc), and get it going faster. You'll soon discover you'll do things the fastest when you have done them before. It's like math, you suck at it at first, but once you know what to do, you do it faster and faster.
 

"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.

if your looking for speed, start off slowly....go through your rudiments, such as paradiddles, they are great for building speed. during a practice, start off at say 80bpm doing paradiddles, then increase it by 2 after a few minutes. keep doing this until you cant hold them consistently and begin to fumble a bit. bring it back to where you could hold it consistently and do that for a straight 5 minutes if possible. every couple of days you will find that you will be able to raise your max by a few bpm, and by the end of the week you can gain up to 10bpm or more. remember to work on your technique as well. ALSO, the same principles you use to speed up your hands can be used on your feet. just use a routine such as this on your rudiments and you'll be good to go. the key is to start off slowly and gradually increase your speed, from single stroke rolls to flamadiddles, use this routine and you will see an increase in speed all over the set.

also practice accenting different notes so that you dont become a machine, and remember to alternate your sticking left and right so you dont become dominant on one side. if someone gives you something to play, learn to play it both ways, this is such a huge payoff in the end

o yea, and remember technique for building chops...thats another thing that can take you far, once you have the technique down, things get ALOT easier, before you know it you'll be maxing out your metronome. here's a really good website that i go to when i need some tips and pointers:
