"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.

" Ill Catch A Grenade For You "

" Id Jump In Front Of A Train For You "

" I Would Die For You Baby But You Wont Do The Same "

" But Id Still Catch A Grenade For You "

Songs Makes Me Absolutley Sick !!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Only singers can get away with saying this stuff ... chill.

Most normal human beings don't expect this.

There is an entire thread from a few months ago calling Bruno Mars an AFC because of this song. That back and forth was painful to read.

It's not that bad of an influence. Before there were pop songs, you'd have famous poems dedicated to love and romance and women.

As long as there have been men, there have been men dedicating their artwork to whining about women.
 

"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.

You act like the radio is otherwise full of songs about chopping trees, huntin', and conquering nations.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yes, it´s mainstream now. Men dedicate songs to the women they love, while women sing songs like "I don´t need a man". And this sh*t really does affect the way people think. Guys become wussies, and women think they own us.

Have you ever seen how weak people suddenly act strong, when they find a weaker person? Or a shy person, that overcomes her shyness when an ever shyer person arises?

That´s what you have with women, when they are with an alpha man, they are really quiet, submissive and respectful (this is a pretty good way to see if she´s attractive to you). When they realize that a guy is weak, they behave like the biggest *****es in the world.

OP, I don't know who the f**k sings that sh*t, but he's probably loaded with money. Therefore, he can write some pu$$y sh*t like this and get away with it. If you were a no-name non successful musician, you really wouldn't be doing this. I for damn sure hope you don't do this in real life!

Catch a grenade if the pin is still in it.

Jump in front of a train if it already stopped. or you're the Hulk! But nobody here is so check out this quote below:

This is why a lot of guys think women don't need men. But this post is totally accurate. I gotta go before that back and forth bruno mars sh*t arises.
 

"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.

Not this sh!t again. It's just a song. And guess what? It's catchy as hell and I'd listen to that sh!t when it comes on the radio if I hadn't already heard it a million times. I don't give a fvck, because songs are fantasy, just like movies, poetry, books and a sh!t ton of other things, and I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

Dude, you just blew my doors off with this. I've never looked at pop songs in this way, nor realized what the big deal with poetry was until just now.

Awesome "ah-ha" moment right here.

I can't stand that damn Grenade song. However, it does have a catchy melody and for some reason, it's been playing in my head this morning (even before I read this thread).

Also, here's another AFC song (although not as bad as the song in the OP)...but it's one of the few that I like:
