"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

...like listen to one song until you can't stand it anymore, then listening to another countless times until you can't stand it anymore, then...
 

"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.

Saturation ... the story of my life :D

I'm picky about my music. I have specific tastes and painfully high standards, so there's not a lot that I will listen to, which means my selection is already pretty limited. It's a rush hearing a piece of great music for the first time, and I listen over and over again to keep that rush going, instead of moving on to keep it fresh.

And I don't just do this with music; TV and food too.

I spin albums until I get sick of them, then they go to the back of the rotation. Unless it's one of my favorite albums that I can listen to an unlimited amount of times.

At any given time, there are at least 3 tracks on Winamp.

I've spent countless unfilled hours of my life trying to create a CD that I can listen to all the way without skipping back and forth, and even when it's songs that I put on there, I can't do it. Albums, not a chance, I don't even buy albums anymore because I like one or two songs, and the rest is bollocks.

The song I'm stuck on right now is DJ Tom X - Cocaine (Bush Remix). Damn, it's good.
 

"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.

Yeah, all the time. But after listening to the same music for a whole week, I can't stand it during a whole month.

When you listern to a song till you cant stand it anymore its called "killing the song".

Everyone does it.....The radio is the worst for it. They will play a max of 120 tunes on a station over say a 3 month period repeated constantly.

You hear the same song on the radio at least 4 times a day.

Lose Yourself by Eminem.....That song is the only song I cant kill....I listened to it constantly for ages and still enjoy it.

"Everlong" by the Foo Fighters, a song I'll never kill.
 

"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.
