Eurovision Song Contest tonight. Who's watching?
"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.

"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.

Definitely NOT me!
EuroVision is getting old, their songs are getting crappier and crappier each year.
I think in most "developed" "western" european countries, people just don't care anymore.
On the other hand, I guess in the new member states and other wannabe EU states (basically all the poor and under-developed eastern european countries) people might still hold some interest...:crazy:
I know, I'm an arrogant bad-mouthing prick...

It was until Lordi won. I believe Lordi started a new era in the history of the contest and now people realise that you actually CAN bring some modern music to it instead of repeating the old formula that worked back in 1980's!
We Finnish have always joked about EuroVision contest that there's gonna be life found in Mars and Hell freezes before Finland wins (since we won the first time in 45 year history). EuroVision contest was kind of a national joke since we never had ANY success in it and the best position ever was like 7th and 50 points or something like that. Now Lordi won with 292 points which is a top record all time.
I love it how the so-traditional-contest-loved-by-grandmas was won by a heavy metal artist.
There you go uptight grannies! :rockon:
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Decent and inoffensive heavy metal though, even Christian you might say. They sing about striking down false prophets, sing about rock n' roll angels, "In God's creation supernatural high."

Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell
It seems consistent with the rest of their music: they even have a song titled "Devil is a loser". Not all their music is in this venue, but Hard Rock Hallelujah is. And, I think, that's how it should be in the Eurovision Song Contest; there are lots of other places to compete in who can be the most trashy. The ESC should not be. Lordi managed to pull off metal that is decent. In that, they found a way to be both innovative and stick to the ideal of the contest they were in.

I read that Finland's best position was sixth place once.
I didn't care at all about the Swedish contribution this year. Carola Häggkvist has gone on to the Eurovision Song Contest twice before and won it, so when she showed up this year people called in and voted for her just because it was she. Anyone else with that bland, easily forgettable song would never have won. So I knew we had no chance of winning the ESC this year, and that Carola's tune would be forgotten one hour after the show ended.
A great shame, because we had at least two other songs that would have been much better contributions, quality songs and far more natural and honest than Carola's ever-glittering eyes and happily dreaming smile.
