"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'm doing a music piracy poll for the school newspaper and I only have 25 responses so far. So, could you guys just answer the poll to give my poll a jump so it doesn't get cut?

P.S.
No names will be used, and I'm finishing the poll at school monday/tuesday.)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Uh, sure.


What's the poll? How much of your music is pirated? If that's the question, go with none. About 10 out of my 1040 or so songs on iTunes right now are pirated. The rest are uploaded from CDs.



...then my friends go out and buy 40 gig ipods and "load them up" with 200 downloaded songs and an episode of family guy that i had to show them how to download, and then they think they're the sh*t, when i don't even have an ipod but have over 1000 songs...

"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.

Hmm..I'll go with 85% pirated, but that's because I hate buying a whole CD for one or two songs.
Same here. 85%.

Only if the CD is worth it though.

Don't forget to add the fact that the artist gets something like 4% of the profits for the entire cd. The rest goes to the record label.

And of that 4%, they have to pay things like the managers, renatls for equipment... and other retarted fees.

The record label gets practiacaly all the money. And with that money they fund other organizations like the RIAA which sue you to take more of your money.

It's a GREAT business.

Hmmm............. 75% I think. I have quite a few albums because at some point I had more money than I could think of a use for...

Worth getting all the Rasmus albums... the search doesn't bring them all up and they pretty much ALL rock my world...:D

Most of my music is pirated, but the RIAA couldn't touch me since all the music is Jpop, Kpop, and other foriegn stuff. Oh, and lots of VGM (videogame music).

It really comes down to the question of whether you would purchase the songs you have downloaded for free, if it wasnt an option. I know i wouldnt, which basically means i'm not ripping anyone off. Victimless crime!
 

"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.

Yup.

I'd rather not buy that **** at all. There is very little music today worth listening to. Everything is just filler material between the good songs on my iPod.
