"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

whether you make a million $$ or have less than $10 in your bank account.

AFC has no boundaries.

You'd be surprised how many of the biggest, wealthiest stars are pure AFCs.....most stars are elevated through happenstance and exploitive favors..many are bi-sexual, financially locked to predatory agents, confused, lonely...a classic vortex for becoming and remaining AFC

If you read "The Game" and noticed Courtney Love in the book (One of the biggest rock stars of the 90s, especially after marrying Kurt Cobain) even she was getting hounded for her debt that she owed.

Just because you're a star and get recognized on television doesn't mean that you are financially secure and making millions. Media industry just likes to exploit eccentric figures.

I've played in a variety of bands, done some extensive touring, and had albums released on pretty stable indie labels. I'm still broke.. Been ripped off by labels and ripped off everywhere imaginable under the sun of the music industry. It's ruthless, but with those experiences you get smarter.

On another note, yeah most musicians are AFC. I know from first hand experience. A lot of the bands mine plays with fall into the "emo" category when it comes to lyrical content and song structure. Some of these guys pull the hottest girls too, hell I even pull pretty hot girls yet I'm still a virgin and make stupid mistakes to drive the girls away from me. Most artists in general, whether it be music, art, film.. Anything are very emotional people. Which makes their songwriting genius eventually.

Most girls don't want to be in a relationship with a musician who hits the road a few months out of the year too.. Not enough time for them and there's always a huge chance of cheating (to her).

EDIT: The music industry has gotten even tougher with rising gas prices (touring + transportation to gigs + fans driving out to gigs) and the internet (downloading albums).. I tell ya man.. It's ruthless! But if you want it enough anyone can make it happen.
 

"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.

Yes he was, the song Kim has to be one of the most messed up songs I've ever heard and of course he has most recently been hung up on Mariah Carey.

Just cuz you famous doesn't mean you got game. It's funny how many dudes try to act like these rappers and idolize them, but in reality these rappers are the biggest tricks and AFC's around

Status doesn't give you game my friend. It might get you chicks, but in the end a simp is still a simp

And Em is one of my favorite rappers, maybe the best alive. But I will still admit he has acted weak and chumpish in the past when it comes to women. He even rides his own daughter's nuts. I think the dudes got mother issues since his mom was an addict. He just yearns for female affection and acts like a baby when he doesn't get it

I can definitely relate to his afc ish anger towards rejection and adversity when it comes to women.

At least he makes millions off all his heartache! :D
