Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Why is it that girls love musicians?
Is it the artisit facet or is it because we are often indepentant?

I'm trying to figure this out since being in a band has boosted the rate I meet girls by over 100%.
 

"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.

You're the center of attention, the man of the hour when you're in a band, especially the lead singer. Girls LOVE to be in the spotlight and guys in bands have that.

Is the drummer in your band getting the same attention from the chicks?

Secretly, I knew there was another reason why I started playing drums again...

Drummers/bassists/backup guitarists etc don't get as much because they aren't in the lead of the band.

For example I'm the lead guitarist and singer of my band, and I have people I've never met come up to me and ask me about my music. People don't do that for the drummer and bassist of the band because they're kind of in the background, they aren't the sort of spokesperson of the band.

Not to say don't play drums, but don't play any musical instrument just to get girls, do it for youself and if it helps with chicks, awesome. But don't expect it to, play instruments for yourself.
 

“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.

I'm in a band and I'm the lead singer. I've noticed that it works on the younger chicks more than the older ones usually. They're already freaking out that a guy 2 years older than them is talking to them and the fact that theyre on stage makes them crazy.

Just curious, but do y'all think that Pianists would have the same effect since the piano is usualy considered more conservative and less exciting than rock and roll style instruments?

Been there, done that. Nope. That doesn't mean to stop playing it though, if you enjoy it, continue with it. It's not like it's helping you, it just won't hurt you. It's neutrel with women, although it helps with other areas of you rlife. Creativity, inspiration, etc.

It's very true that being in a band helps you meet chicks. Unfortunately, my band plays death metal so I dont get to meet as many, but its all good. BTW I play guitar.

You could learn some mainstream songs that girls are likely to have heard. For example:

Billy Joel - Piano Man
Coldplay - Clocks, The Scientist
Ben Folds Five - Brick

You can rock out with piano, too.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If you really immerse yourself in music. Become music.

If you run around on stage letting it all out. (or you play piano with so much energy that people are just drawn in)

If you become your music, people notice! My band has a piano player (well.. keyboard, but still). He gets tons of poon mainly cuz he is so damn talented.

Also the type of music your band plays has a huge effect on how many and what kind of girls you will attract. If you play mostly nice songs, with clean riffs, you will probably attract more girls then if you play raw grind guitar, blast beats and deep growl vocals.

Sad to say but the trumpet isn't really a good instrument for getting girls. However since I am the best I do get a lot of credit and I am in the spotlight a lot so it can attract a few chicks
 

"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.
