"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.

Ha LOL!

This is awesome. I love the music industry--and not just cuz I am in it... I think its great how people assume that these no-talent ass chics have anything to do with the music that has their name on it. This is how it works: Record executive picks out a girl who looks like she would attract attention based on photographs, then calls a producer to make a track for her to sing over, then a writer makes the lyrics for her to sing. Then, since pretty much none of these chics can sing, the sound engineer has to run their voices through an Eventide H8000 harmonizer so that her voice sounds like she is singing in key. Most pop singers (including the famous Britney spears) simply do not have vocal talent, so they just start singing and the sound engineer fixes their shortfalls before the public hears it. Promos of her release are sent to club DJ's who then mix it into their playlist at clubs and if the sound is popular enough for the sheeple, it comes out of the radio!!

You will only have to wait a few months till she is phased out and the new pop singer/ marketing icon/ youth idol is positioned in her place.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I actually liked her music, it's catchy but I won't watch her though. She's quite the beast!
 

"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.

The UK loves her. At least she can sing and dance at the same time. Better than half the female performers out there.
M.I.A. would like to have a word with you...plus she's pretty damn hot too.

Plus, I don't know, I'm not really into the "alternative" artsy look with the manly bangs that Gaga has.

Isn't MIA colored? :moon:
 

"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.

I don't like many top 40 songs nowadays, not a big fan of Lady GaGa either, but I will say her songs are DEFINATELY better than the other crap I hear when I go to the club.
Most this crap they play at the club is completely undanceable, no joke there's parts in the "songs" that have sections where there's no beat at all.
Yet it's meant to be a dance/techno track.. and all you hear is like some crap ambient effect that goes on for like 20 seconds and everyone just stands there awkwardly waiting for a beat to come in.

Lady Gaga's songs always get people on the dance floor, they are above the rest of the crap out today, which is unfortunate because her music is just generic pop crap, it's better generic pop crap than most other stuff out nowadays.

I will also say her songs actually turn out really nice when you play them in your band.
Poker Face and Just Dance are great songs to get the band and crowd having a good time since they are relatively fresh, and upbeat.
 

"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.

Sounds about right, would it be fair to say that the bigger record companies probably have the next 5 or so years of "hits" pretty much already written and lined up?

Yep, ever wonder how a chic with no musical background as a producer went onto american idol and then somehow came out with a hit song? Kelly clarkson hasn't the faintest idea of how any of her songs are arranged or produced, yet she's the star!! Same deal with Gaga, without talented producers making the music for her, she would be a big fat zero. This is the guy behind this no talent ass chics music:

I'm not going to even lie to you guys. I like the song "poker face" or whatever the F**K it's called, but when I first saw her I knew something wasn't right. Her whole attitude and body weren't right.

She's got a d!ck.



















Literally: http://www.phillyd.tv/2009/07/30/lady-gaga-is-a-hermaphrodite/


Look up the quote:
Its not something that I'm ashamed of, just isn't something that i go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but i consider myself a female. Its just a little bit of a penis and really doesnt interfere much with my life. the reason I haven't talked about it is that its not a big deal to me. like come on. its not like we all go around talking about our vags. I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I'm sexy, I'm hot. i have both a poon and a peener. big ****ing deal.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
