"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

skyballa, sucks like most cali rappers.
 

"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.

It's not nearly as good as his first album.

I was especially put off by the fact that the new single "Gold Digger" sounds exactly like the song "Get 'Em High" off his first album, except that the lyrics are a little different. Funny though cause the subject matter is pretty much the same. Maybe he thought people wouldn't notice?

Most of the songs I couldn't even listen to for more than 30 seconds before I got bored and skipped to the next track.

Late Registration is pretty good album. Far from a classic, but is definately worth listening to.

His lyrics improved from his debut (still a mediocre rapper). It's definately one of the best produced album this year. There's about 4 Skits and and one horrible track. Overall: Above average album.

I just downloaded the album... it's a classic.

Even though I think he needs to learn how to make his own beats, he is up there with Timbo as far as originality.

The thing about Kayne you have to understand, it's not really RAP as much as it is Hip Hop.

You aren't going to pop in a Kayne West CD and it sound like something 50 cents drops, because he is a rapper.

This is up there with Bone, est 1999 and Jay Z the Blueprint, I honestly think it's that good. Not a weak sone on the CD

Wow, are you kidding me? Hahaha

If you like it, more power to ya I guess. But I think it's pretty bad. Still better than most of the rap out there right now though.

Up there with Blueprint, what are you smoking???

What do you mean by this? Him and Brion make a good team. No worse than Dr. Dres participation in his so called produced tracks.

In that sense, yes they make an excellent team, but all of his beats are sampled from something.. He's not as bad as some people out there... have you heard "you'r gonna love me" by the backwoodz? They took the Old cassic, one of my favorate songs, "Your gonna love Me" by Jennifer Holliday, and, sampled one part of the song, and that's the enitre beat.

Kanye takes a smaple like.... Dream or on his new CD... So Major, and actually makes a beat ar ound the sample. so he is more orginal then alot of people give him credit for, but still sampling isn't the hardest thing in the world.

Its not hard, but getting that cool layered sound, is not possible with just a keyboard and an original idea. Hip Hop is sampling. I hate glossy synth beats. If a guy were to replicate a song like "we major" he would need a brass section. string section, and a host of session musicians, plus the musical idea. On this album kanye is the first producer in rap to get a really cool layered sound. The first musical rap album. Not every joe knows how to properly flip a sample--creativity.
 

"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.

EXACTLY.....

We have billions to fight a never ending war, but sit with our ass on our hands when our fellow country men are in need:confused: :confused: :confused:

I'm glad Kanye blurted that out. I wonder if this will hurt his career????
