"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

Coheed & Cambria, probably my favorite band of the 2000's. Awesome mix of pop/progressive stuff with a vocalist who's a mix of Billy Corgan, Geddy Lee, and Michael Jackson (sounds better than my description) and a really interesting conceptual storyline running through all their albums. Their album In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 is easily in my top 5 favorite albums EVER!! Here's some clips:

Listen to a genre called 'dubstep'. Im more into the mellow dubstep:

Caspa - ****ney Violin
Burial - Unite
Rusko - Jahova

It takes a while for the bassline to kick in and sounds awesome in a quality sound system.

Let me know what you think
 

"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.

i like all the bands you posted :up:

but i also like:
pepper
the expendables
fall of troy
some arctic monkeys
blink 182
+44
there's tons. try going to myspace music and looking up the genre you like. it's kinda cool to have a girl sitting in your car listening to your music and its some obscure bad ass band playing and have her be like "woah this is good who is this?"

Roy, I'm kind of new to the whole Dubstep genre, but I've got two of Burial's CD's HDBCD001 and Untrue. Neither of them have a song called Unite. Is this a name of another album or song off another album?
 

"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 listen to mainly Rock/alternative, indie; but also a bit of dance, hip hop and R&B (it used to be my main genre of music to listen to), as well as getting into music instrumentals
 

"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.
