"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hey guys, so tonight production on my first rap track was completed. It's available at this link for listening and download: http://belgianman.com/songs/36/display

Its the first track that's gonna end up on my mixtape--and my budding rap career has done a lot for me from a DJ standpoint as well. I tell girls that I'm a rapper/producer and they get an extra spark in their eye. Its like a hobby, but slightly more official, so not only do you look like a busy guy, you look like you have things going for you. Check out the link and tell me what you think.

Please no "I hate rap, its all junk" comments. If you're not a fan, just steer clear.
 

"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.

Im a big rap fan, so heres my opinion.

I think the beat is fvcking dope, you did a great job there.

But, like with most budding rappers, you lack A LOT of emotion. You sound so monotone, and your not rapping with any emotion. It sounds extremely monotone actually; so you really need to work speaking louder, rapping with more emotion, all that. Listen to guys like immortal technique, then you'll understand what rapping with emotion is like. Notice how technique doesnt sound so montone, boring, and isnt at the same pitch/emotion level with each verse.

Noted. That's been a common criticism. Thanks for the input Eaglez.

This is a new song:

It might still be a little monotone.
 

"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.

bro u sound like ur puttin on an act tbh, needa loosen up n just let it flow naturally.. maybe if u start rhyming about things that are more conscious, that u actually care about, then it'l happen.

imo, the world doesnt need another fake person rapping about gettin paid and f_cking b*tches, unless ur really creative with it, its very played out..

just my opinion tho..

check this guy out

"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.
