"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.

I guess he was the singer for Hootie and the Blowfish. I just saw him on Jimmy Kimmel live and he sings country now. I don't think I ever seen a black guy seeing country, but why not it's kind of like rock and roll. I think he sounds a lot better than most rap singers. I think rap sucks.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Hootie was good. Just overplayed. Darius Rucker can sing his ass off.
 

"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 used to like Hootie back when they first came out, but now I think that music sucks. But Rucker is a great singer. He's been singing country ever since he went solo which was quite awhile back. Just pulled up one of his videos on youtube, his country sounds pretty poppy to me, more pop rock than country. Sorta like Maroon 5 but with a twangy guitar. I don't know if that's "real" country.

I don't care for too much rap now, but it's one of those music styles that too varied to say you just flat out "rapping", it's like saying, "I hate music where they play guitars".

Just a little trivia, there's been a long time debate in hiphop circles whether Blondie invented rap, most say it's not true. But nonetheless whether she got the idea from someone else or not, this is the first popular song with rapping in it. Fast forward to 2:00 in :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-0BLV04vbE

I am a black guy and most of what I listen to is country. The only rap/rnb I listen to is inspirational or patriotic stuff like, "Overtime" or "Successful".

But I will probably go down on Roseanne for some Brad Paisley or Trace Atkins concert tickets


lol ROSEANNE!

Thats near suicide.lol

True, I don't find it to be "real" country music either. Most mainstream country today is "pop country" though. Just a process music goes through. Most of the newer country singers are younger individuals who grew up influenced by MANY kinds of music. Likewise, they're singing to a younger crowd too. Modern country is "country" enough to appeal to older listeners while still appealing to the younger generations. Typical traditional country (Hank Williams, etc.) is too out-of-touch for the younger crowd, I doubt it would get much air-time.

However, for what it is Darius Ruckers music is good. Not only is he a good singer, but he has catchy tunes that most people can relate to. Not to mention for a black singer to become popular with a country crowd is a testament to his talent.

My friend's step dad is a Korean country singer. His versatility in the bar scene also helped him earn the affectionate title of "The Chinese Elvis". haha

"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.

Everytime I turn on the country channel it looks like a rap video is playing. Hell even the songs are sounding like rap songs, using hiphop vernacular and dancing an all that. Kinda wack if you ask me LOL. fkin country...sheesh

To use hip hop vernacular, one of my favorite things about country music was that it was the only mainstream genre that really "kept it real." Songs about life, real life. Not every night is a threesome on top of a table full of cocaine or a gunfight from Pulp Fiction. In fact, no nights are like that for me...that I remember. But most nights and days are covered in some country song somewhere. And I'm a dude from Philly. It was hugely popular but almost totally non-mainstream in content and character. Existing side-by-side with everything else, but not decaying in morals. So I could respect that.

But not anymore. By no means has country gone the way of pop/rock/rap, but it's on it's way. Alot of the younger artists have gone slutty, or gangster (relatively), or poppy. The outlaws are dying, the alterna-hippies make good songs but are completely ignored and out-of-touch, and the kids are rapping. So sad.

That's why I listen mostly to electronica these days.
