"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.

There's a lot of rap out there that talk about the hood either just ranting how much they hate their lives or how hard it made them. Though I've never heard of a rap that described thug life like this, it really brings a new perspective to the whole idea of being a gangster. It talks about a guy who slowly works his way to becoming a gangster, and his final test was to rape a random woman they captured who ended up being his own mother. Though these words really made me think last night:

"So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever."

Not sure if the story is true or not, seems a little too convenient of a situation but I do know gangsters are that crazy. I know a couple of bloods, they do some crazy and stupid stuff for fun, like the other day one of them was telling me they went to a party, saw only ONE person they didn't like, grabbed their shotguns in their car and scared everyone out of the party. They didn't shoot but they just wanted to scare everyone.
 

"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.

I love that story telling rap.
But it's a fvcked up and very sad story.

What is some other good storytelling rappers?

I love that song. Its so gritty and the story it tells is so dark. I think it could easily be turned into a movie, something along the lines of Belly with Nas & DMX.

To wolf-check out Jedi Mind Tricks. They tell some pretty good stories in their songs.
The song Misunderstood by Common is a pretty good story. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out.

Wow, I haven't heard that song in like 5 years and its still powerful.

I don't think the story is true as in it is an experience Immortal Technique went through, but true in the sense as things like that happen out on the streets.

I've always heard about guys like Immortal Technique and Jedi Mind Tricks but I brushed them off assuming they were like 50 cent, Ja Rule, etc. But they were more like the Eminem, Tupac mold. I'm going to start listening to them more often.
 

"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.

I love this song. Beautiful and sad.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just listened to it right now, it literally had me mesmerized. Not in the Hollywood or Disneyland type of fanatical way, but the type where you're so absorbed in something anything else doesn't matter.

That song by Immortal Technique doesn't even sound realistic but don't get me wrong it's pretty good. However, I think 3 sides to a story by Joe Buddens is very much on point and it gives you many different perspectives on just 1 situation but you have to listen to it very carefully. ;)

The song by Jedi Mind Tricks is very true because I actually talked to a Vietnam war vet (he doesn't even look his age) and the stuff he was telling me was crazy. He even told me that his mind is completely fuked up because he sometimes wakes up at night due to images he sees because of the kids and women he had to kill. The messed up thing is that due to the fact he had to kill so much, when he was coming back to the U.S, they would send the soldiers to Germany to "de-brief" them. I asked him what is "de-briefing" and he said...

"...well they take you in a room and they tell how that since you are going back home that you CAN'T kill people anymore...".

Could you imagine how messed up they must have been for you to TELL you that you can't kill people anymore. For us it's something we don't think about but to tell someone that is just scary.

I'm a very un-emotional person, but that song gave me a tear in my eye.

So there were "a couple of them" and "ONE person they didn't like" and they grabbed shotguns?

You would think that them outnumbering them 2-1 they wouldn't need shotguns, but since they're "gangsta's" they're not as tough as they think.

Couple of punks. It would have been funny is someone saw them coming in with shotguns and capped their dumb asses.

No worries, these guys won't be around much longer.

Dead or in jail is where they will soon end up.
 

"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.
