Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Most AFC Songs

"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.

I used to really like that song, didn't really pay attention to the lyrics at all, but wtf, to make it worse he commits suicide in the end.
Yeah when I first heard the song, I didn't think too much of it.

But when I was playing Singstar (karaoke game), my friend picked this song and I said why not. As soon as the lyrics came on, I was like WTF, this is the worst song ever and THIS was a popular #1 song? I was so pissed at the lyrics that I stopped singing the rest of the song. :eek:

Have you heard the new song If I was a boy? I can't understand why people think that song is good.....**** girl if you were a boy, you'd be a tranny...:crackup:

Yeah it's basically a slap in the face to all guys out there, it has a nice beat to it and all but the lyrics are just a reference tool for men on how to become AFC.

I just heard this AFC gem on the radio today... :rolleyes:

Come Back To Me performed by David Cook

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you

You say you're leaving as you look away
I know there's really nothing left to say
Just know I'm here whenever you need me I'll wait for you

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

Take your time, I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you

Oh and I'll let you go, I'll set your free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me

I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul there
I can't face you, I can't save you
It's something you'll have to do

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
Come back to me

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me

You find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
 

"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.

The Antidote for any AFCness acquired through music= anything by Too $hort
 

"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.

I probably view things bit different, but a lot of these so called "AFC" songs that are considered romantic or whatever, makes great background music....for as I call it "Shagging" LOL! Like the old Barry White songs. I admit these are AFC if looked at from our perspective, but a lot of women like that kind of thing.

What's AFC about any of it if you get hung up on the same bimbo. At times, being "soft" is OK...because the next night, hopefully I'll be the same way with another.....the next night a different one. And so on. :)

I was laughing at some of the choices...without a doubt AFC. Then again, my Brother is a musician and song writer on a local and yrs ago, had some notoriety. He often said that words to a song are about like a keg of beer with no taper. Useless. They don't mean much, they are at random and while the song may be about a true subject, a lot of the words are simply made up to rhyme or sound better when singing it.

Ex: You may be singing about some wench you just *ucked, everything in the song is true except her eyes were actually green, not blue. But the word blue rhymes with flu, goo, sue etc.

These muscians are laughing all the way to the bank...

I say any song where a rapper or r&b singer says to get with him because he'll throw some money at you. Nothing wrong with being generous, but when you say you'll take a woman from the club out on shopping spree just because she gave you some one time, you are not pimping.

oh ****, totally! but that's what bothers me... I can't listen to the music I like anymore cause it makes me AFC!! :cry:
I've noticed this, too. I can't even listen to half of my old favorite bands anymore because the lyrics are too pussified. Too whiny and victimized.

On the flipside, a lot of stuff I used to hate because I couldn't relate to it suddenly appeals to me a lot more now (i.e. music championing testosterone). I'm jamming a lot of old school House of Pain these days. Defiant white boy machismo. :cool:

A good DJ song is "you aint the first - guns n roses"
<shudder>

I spent six out of nine years in some sort of on-off hell of an LTR with a big GnR fan.

If there is one band that can now turn me right off and have me heading for the door in almost all circumstances, it is now them! :(

<shudder>


However, I do remember the album "Uppers and Downers" by the Yo-Yos as being pretty good in a pre-night on the town way. :)

It's no wonder most guys today are AFC's. Just look at society, music, and the media. There's an endless list of AFC like pop songs. And movies? Even worse. I mean no wonder most guys don't stand a chance when there are movies like this out there??

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815236/

The premise is that some HB 10 randomly is totally into some AFC kid and now he needs to figure out how to keep her from leaving. "Can a 5 get a 10 by being an AFC? The answer is yes!"

Hahaa
 

"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.
