"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

^^ been there, done that. I was first turned onto SMD after Pete Tong played "It's the Beat' a couple months back and then I got 'Hustler' soon after. The video is :eek: my nature got hard like fossils :cheer: Simple concept but so damn sexy (I heard a remix with rick ross i didnt like later on 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.

Ministry of Sound is also a record label that produces many compilations each year, featuring many artists. These compilations are compiled from many different genres of music, but primarily the dance, house, and trance genres.
IOW, they are not an actual group or artist, but a nightclub that branched out into various branches of music, including make compilation CDs of the year's best electronic music

Right, but I mean, they mix songs like most DJ's do... what mixes are their best?
 

"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.

I like MoS but its ****in well expensive! £17 entry fee, £2 for the coat, £6 for vodka-redbull....its all ****. Fabric is my favourite venue... Turnmills and the Cross are also ace.

Just got a tiesto song, empty streets (late nite alumni) Its a great song. Right now I cant stop listening to Tocadisco but when I get some time I'll check out some Fedde Le Grand.

Anyone else got The Annual 07 or Clubber's Guide 07? First listen I found about 5-6 instant hits on each cd but most songs take a couple listens and then they start to grow on you
Tiesto is the sh*t! I own a ton of his stuff, some of his stuff is almost prolific lol!

I have the Annual 07 your description is pretty spot on about it. I listen to it in my car from time to time...but i own alot of music so it's not my favorite driving track.

Anyone get the feeling recently that Ministry of Sound is more or less on autopilot at this point? Their compilations are getting BORING in my opinion... mostly they are just picking the top stuff off beatport, the minimal blippy junk, either that or commissioning dance cover versions of whatever crap is in the UK charts. Anyway. These days I prefer artist albums or compilations like this series (direct iTunes link) http://electricnation2010.com/tracks
:cheer: :woo:
