"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.

I'm putting together some new slow jam mixes so I want something new. I like a lot of old school RnB myself, but it's always good to change up the style. What sort of music/artist do you guys play when your at the crib with a chic? Does it change depending on her age, race, class?

I ask in this forum mainly because the guys here tend to date in a larger age range than in the regular forums and I'd like to know if there is any major difference in what you do with a 21 year old vs a 30+ woman.
 

"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.

Rock music in bed.

Also, believe it or not, movie soundtracks are awesome. This may sound like a joke, but check out the theme for "The Mask of Zorro" Had a 30+ y.o. girl once just wanted it to loop all night long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vt1EVBQnCo

Helps if you whisper a little Spanish in their ear. Doesn't matter what you say if they don't know Spanish.

Speaking of movie soundtracks, the opening theme to the movie soundtrack "Somewhere In Time" is WAY romantic. I like Enya too.

If you are, say 3,4 dates in and looking to advance.....age 30+, I've had 100% success with Barry White.

Laugh all you want, but it works.

Equally as effective: Frank Sinatra - actually works better as background (i.e. dinner music) than Barry, but kickass. Especially his romantic albums. Sammy Davis Jr. too.

If you think your hottie has even a slight clue who the Rat Pack was, you cant go wrong with this stuff.
 

"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.

Most of the best music I have found for "Mood" or "Ambiance" comes from some artists that are less known, a lot of world music on compilation cd's, coffee house music, lesser known tracks from well known artists, acoustic singers/songwriters, etc. I like making playlists on iTunes, and playing compilation cd's. Movie soundtracks are pretty good, specially the movie scores, with the instrumental music.

The girls, regardless of age, always ask, "Who's singing this?" "I like your music, who is it?".
