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.

"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.

You can go to a pawn shop, or look on Craigslist and get a lower end yamaha for less than a hundred bucks. They cant seem to give away Yamaha PSR 250's or whatever they are. My keyboard player played on one and did ok with it for several months. Get a cheap used one, learn how to play it, then upgrade from there, after you figure out what you really need. It will suit your purposes as an amateur just fine.

just like any other instrument, if you're going professional, certain high end keyboards are for certain things. Some keyboards are more designed for sampling, and computer recording, and some are better for playing live. Its all about what you plan on doing with it. If you want to go really high end brand new, you will be spending at least two grand, and thats not inlcludin gthe amp.

I share this ambition. A good used Yamaha is the way to go, and since learning to play is your goal, get one with the entire octave on it (the most keys).

Instruments geared towards recording will have less keys and typically be loaded with sound effects and other doo-dads.

Eventually I'd love to have a B-3 with the retro Leslie rotating speakers, nothing else has a sound like it.

The expense in keyboards is that the processors are built into the instrument. This can drive the price up enormously. I am currently saving up for a keyboard without processing and am planning on hooking it up to my computer and using my computer to process through FL Studio. This will save me a ton of money in the long run.

I'm planning on purchasing a pretty damn nice keyboard for like $150. Unfortunately I don't have the name with me (have it written down at home) but I'll check it out and get back to you.
