"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.

So for those of you who know me, I’m studying Computer Science by day at University. However, I’m also a violinist and I produce beats as well.

I’d like to have a couple of “side hustles” and make some money off these as well. Any ideas on what I could do with that? I’ve considered playing in an Orchestra, selling my beats, or getting good enough to be signed to a label. Any ideas?
 

"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.

Maybe scoring films or documentaries? So many films use classical sounds and hip hop beats.

If you join an orchestra somebody there would probably have a connection to film makers. Let them know you're interested and be available if and when they call for some extra help. Build on that.

As for beats get on soundcloud and start promoting, both virtually and in person.

I'm not an entrepreneur but I'm good at evaluating offers and how to make my offer the best offer in different situations and the lesson I learned during my life is to keep your expectations real and that ability to obtain several small victories is better than one big win.

Also think about recording something to upload it on SoundCloud or Spotify to gain social awareness and learn some basic IP rights that you have with regard to the tracks/samples you want to sell.

Good idea! Starting small, right?

Yeah, I can start on the beats now. Practicing and learning to make a professional product too.

For film scores, I’d need to have a greater understanding of Classical Composition also.
 

"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 try uploading samples of your music to youtube and have it monetized. And people contract you to create custom beats if they like your work.

^^This is key.

And in real life it works better, even big companies uses this stratagem when entering into a new geographical area.

Honestly, even if I could just make some extra cash by selling beats to supplement my income, that’d be great. I know that some people have made good money from that. Rap beats would probably be the most viable path since that’s what’s popular these days. Although I’m sure other types of music could work too. The first step is making my music professional, along with getting a cheap/portable yet still effective audio setup. I can also research business plans for selling beats and begin to market.

For the violin, I’m not gonna worry too much about getting a job right now. For the next few months, I’m just going to elevate the quality of my playing as high as I possibly can.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Violin rap! No one else is doing that. If I was going to make music, I would try to build my own instrument that no one else has. Then no one can copy you.

Hip hop violinists are actually surprisingly common lol. But I’m open to playing any kind of music
