"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.
Michael Jackson has passed away.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Talented? Yes. One of the greatest ever. Thriller was one of my first albums and the ex-wife was a huge MJ fan so I heard him alot. But so disturbed and probably a predator. Three boys have accused him. He paid two of them off. That screams guilty to me.
Why remember his talent when he, in the court of Fairshake's opinion, did the most horrible thing a man can do?

I'm guessing drug-related suicide. I figured he'd end up off-ing himself due to all the stress that he's gone through. I'll also put money on Britney Spears taking her own life as well.
I remember playing the 5hit out of my Thriller LP back around 1983. I was just a small boy, but that album was fantastic. I also played the hell out of the copy of Dangerous I had on cassette. After that, MJ kinda went a bit wimpy with his music. I'll take a cool beat over a smooth, slick, soft pop song anyday.
Probably the same reason they still play Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Pt.2 at sporting events. That song is a classic, but Gary Glitter's a sick fvcking pig.

It is our world which is full of sick people; and the most disgusting of those are the ones who exploit the weak, innocent or naive for their own gains.
This extremely talented man grew up poor with no real childhood, an abusive father and brothers who bullied him. In adulthood, the media, journalists and the parents of kids who he he adored exploited and took advantage of his naivity, insecurity and innocent nature for their own financial gain.
Not many 'Don Juans' here would have lasted until the age of 50 under his circumstances, which is a testament to how strong mentally he was.
And yet despite all this, he was really just all about LOVE. For Humanity, women, kids, and especially the poor.
Can someone honestly look at him and say he would even hurt a fly? Every footage i see of him, he is putting the V peace sign up at the cameras.
Listen to some of his music, particularly towards the end of his career, and try accusing him of what many, including some on this thread, are accusing him of. The fact is that he was never proven guilty of anything.
He was harmless and naive, but talented and rich, and banged for freedom, and that mades him an easy target. Its those people with sick, selfish minds themselves who can only consider or accuse him of doing sick things.
Jesus was misunderstood, and crucified 2000+ years ago brutally. Some things never change eh?
At least the people can't hurt him anymore. You can be sure I am certainly no Michael Jackson fan, just someone who saw it from a different perspective to the one the corporate media brainwashed people with. But seeing those folks in Harlem singing his songs on 125th street nearly made me cry.

WOW! I am shocked... despite all of the weird accusations and whatnot, I was a big fan, starting from an early age. This is going to take some digesting.
When Prince dies... I will officially lose my mind! :nervous:

"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.
Prince fan, too? ::high fives::speed dawg said:
Violent V (nice s/n btw... is that a throwback to ICP??) thank you for your post. It is true that MJ suffered much judgment from critics. Do I know if was guilty of the things he was accused of? No, of course not. I'd like to think not, and if you read back to the accusing party's background, there is much suspicion regarding the parents.
In today's world of redundant hip-hop and rap, MJ's albums continue to actually be interesting and enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end. Not many artists could claim that today. Not only that, he had more talent in his pinky than most have in their entire bodies, and used it to try to make the world a better place, with his talent, fame, money and time. There is no doubt in mind that he did care a great deal for people.
The ending of a human life is sad, no matter who's it is. It makes you ponder your own mortality.

Anti-America much?fuzzx said:
Just so you know, Michael Jackson dieing is international news. I was watching the local news and they were showing news stations from across the world reporting on the story. There were people being interviewed in London, Australia and China.
You're pretty ignorant if you believe that the U.S. is the only country that cares about celebierityes
Of course, Prince is weird too, but not Micheal Jackson weird.
It aint just America. Micheal Jackson is arguably the most well known celebrity of ALL TIME. You can go to villages in Africa, and they will know Mike. Like him or not, the whole WORLD is mourning. This may be the biggest day of mourning for one person EVER.
If he was a pedophile, let God deal with him. We have to look at how much good he has done for the world, also. No matter how weird he was, he brought the world a LOT. Dont forget that.
Not to go off-topic, but that is awesome! :rockon: I wish I could see you guys play sometime!horaholic said:
They are saying Jackson's death is the largest mourning ever, second to maybe Elvis or Lennon... but I'd even think he had broader audiences then them.
He did contribute much to others in his life. It is rare to see a celebrity these days actually give to others because they care, not because it improves their image and popularity, or extends a tax break.
His poor kids. They are all so young still to be losing their father. I wonder if Debbie will get custody of them?
Nothing was ever proven. Sure, I'm suspicious of a grown man that likes to hang out with children but I'm also suspicious of greedy people.
How big was the settlement with that kid 5 years ago?
It's funny how the parents, in their outrage didn't demand to see Michael behind bars. Instead they were like "we gladly accept check or cash or money order".
If I thought Michael had really done that to my kid, I would have done everything in my power to put him away so that it wouldn't happen to other kids. But instead, they wanted the cash.
I can imagine the conversation now "son, just tell the cop that Michael touched you there".
Smells like extortion to me.
Show some respect people, the man is dead and had a legendary career.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
On the other hand though, as to the pedophilia stuff, isn't it strange that the parents would just settle out of court? If you were convinced your son was molested by a pedophile, wouldn't you make sure the book was thrown at him and he ended up in jail? I don't think an parent would allow a settlement for something like that. So there is a chance that maybe he didn't do what he was accused of and those parents were just extorting him. Now I think he was crazy to be locked up in his room with young boys and stuff, but he was quite a bit of a child himself. Not saying he didn't do what he was accused of, but there are reasons to think he may not have. Maybe he paid the settlement to just get it over with. I mean you've got cops making you strip to examine your penis and if you're a very private person like MJ is, that's pretty damn traumatic, maybe he just figured it's easier to pay and make it all go away.FairShake said:
Does anyone think he faked his death?
Think about it. Everywhere in the world people treat him like a freak. He probably lived a lonely and miserable life. Is it any wonder he liked to hang out with kids who were less judgmental.
Anyway, maybe the only way to get away from all of the harsh criticism and judgment was to fake his death....or actually die...
MJ is way more popular outside of America than he is in his home country. He was set to play 50, yes 50 concerts in Europe this year and they all sold out within a couple hours. That would not have happened in the U.S.fuzzx said:
"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.
