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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.The Bat said:
Yeah when I first heard the song, I didn't think too much of it.War Against Betaism said:
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.
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...
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

"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.

This is the AFC anthem. I'm sure a lot of you guys could relate, especially when he describes his approach anxiety.

Beautiful by Akon, just heard it on the radio, pretty AFC.
"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 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.
"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.

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.Zerix said:oh ****, totally! but that's what bothers me... I can't listen to the music I like anymore cause it makes me AFC!!
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.

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??

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

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
