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.

Should I stand beneath the breakers? or should I lie with death my bride?
 

"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.

Damn you! Now I've got it stuck in my head!

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your isle.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail? (or, where you hare when I was fox?)
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."


That song has been smacked around so much... good tune.

Stand beneath the breakers, dude, totally - all day long. Don't go out like a punk and lie with death your bride.

Don't go in the water! Look what happened to his son!

Beautiful song, well covered by this Mortal Coil and Elvis impersonator 'The King.' Check out his 'Gravelands album of covers of dead stars, it's awesome.
 

"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.

And Lost Witness for you electronica fans. Tiesto smacked it up, too.

I love Plant for his older work with Zeppelin, it is unfortunate that, judging from his latter work, that he seems to be losing his remarkable voice. He can no longer reach the powerful high notes like he did as a young man without warbling. At times he sounds like Elmer Fudd! Still, he is a legend.
