"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.

This current decade has been scary.

Take TV. In the 90's, most of the people you saw on TV, they were upwardly mobile, they were professional, they had standards, they were someone you could relate to or had a crush on.

Even a silly show like Saved by the Bell.

Or Walker Texas Ranger. Cosby.

The 2000's have been....a sweaty, naked guy on the beach on Survivor.

I think there's alot of symbolism there.

The 90's were about professionals making gains. The 2000's, people are spent, they're dirty, sweaty, unshaved making firewood on the Survivor Beach.

When I flip through reruns of 80's and 90's shows, no one was like that. It doesn't seem real now.

Or the NBA. Even as recently as 95, 97, MJ, Pippen, Olajuwon, R Miller, Barkley, Costas, Hannah Storm, Peter Vescey on NBC.

Now it's a bunch of idiots. In 10 years! WTF?!?

Wrestling, from the early 80's, through 96/97/98, it was watchable. It's like it got turned off after that.

It's all been too quick.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

For all these people claiming there's no more good music, pull your head out of your bums. Stop listening to mainstream radio and dig a little deeper. There's so much good music out there I can't even keep up with all the good stuff coming out.

I think the high point for music was the late 80s, early 90s. Everything went downhill in 1994 when Kurt offed himself and everyone was trying to be cooler than Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Funny how you go into the bars now and the songs that always get everyone going are the old 80s-90s jams they play that everyone knows, even the kids born well after their time.

I dunno what the future of music is, but it's due for another revolution soon.
