"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.

Recently I have gotten back into boxing, and soon will be getting a coaches license and starting clinics (beginning of 2012). The kids at the gym are kind of, not motivated? Feels like pulling teeth to get them to do a serious workout.

I am looking to put a playlist together of motivational hip hop tunes since that's all they seem to want to listen to. Whatever makes you feel like a boss in the gym. But, no Lil Wayne, I cannot tolerate him.

Of course I am working on a good workout for them too, but I think we need some music to help them focus. Any suggestions? The younger crowd too, cause I have no Idea what the hell people listen to nowadays.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Right on man, good luck, I am by no means a pro. I know enough to help others train and get myself back into shape.


I am looking to make a good 15-20 song playlist as we only have a cd player, so I am looking for something a bit more specific. What eminem song, what 50 cent song?


hahhaha eye of the tiger is cheesy man

"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.

You can't beat some aggressive tracks to help fire you up for the gym.

Some of my favourites are:

Hollywood Undead - Hear Me Now
Hollywood Undead - Undead
5 Finger Death Punch - Burn it Down
Pendulum & InFlames - Self vs self
Marylin Manson - New ****
Eminem & co - Go to Sleep
Bring me the Horizon - Crucify me
Lost Eden - Time Damages me
Most stuff by Tactical Sekt

More low key stuff...

Batman Begins soundtrack
Rocky Soundtrack (of course!)
Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra

And for some reason I really love warming up to Placebo - Running up that hill

The music that is source of motivation for me is Eye of the tiger and I often play the numbers of the Eye of the tiger.
I love to play this music.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I'm going to have to agree w/ Woolfgang, OzyBoy, and Jariel. Those artists along with others make up my workout lists.

I dig "Hear Me Now," but "Been to Hell" and some others off Hollywood's latest album are good to get motivated too.
