"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.

If that story is true about Billy Joel, he looks pretty bad with that.

That seems like grounds for immediate divorce in a marriage, but too many women would not file for divorce immediately after an incident like that.
I'm sure it's true, if it weren't he could sue her for slander.

He has taken responsibility for all the chaos he caused and they are still on friendly terms and she also wrote she has the utmost respect and admiration for him.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

They are on good terms.

They only had one kid together and that kid is 39 years old now. They might still need to interact for the daughter's birthday and maybe a holiday season gathering.

Oops my bad, I thought after I responded you might have meant that!

Anyway after you said you loved it, I looked it up online and it does look like an interesting city. A lot of history!

But agree, great song.
It’s a cool town. A city build almost entirely on the back of Andrew Carnegie and US Steel. I hope the AI boom comes to them like it just did to Pittsburgh

The things I learn here... ;)

I've never spent any time in Pittsburgh either; I've only driven past on route to Cali.

I've been to Philly though! PA in general has tons of history.

SoCal in comparison does not and is becoming a real drag. I was never meant to live here.

One of my brothers lives in eastern Connecticut and I'm actually thinking of moving to Boston or Rhode Island.

We’ve all been there
 

"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.

Big Shot is a funny song



We Didn't Start The Fire is the most Boomer thing ever though


And of course, Boomers had to give it Song of the Year at the Grammys even though it's prob the worst thing Billy's ever done. (And by far the weakest song that's ever been nominated for that award, let alone won it).

Dude was on fire from '77 (The Stranger album) through '83 (An Innocent Man album)

Lol @ Big Shot.:lol:

A bit of trivia and possibly rumor but it's been said he wrote that song after a date he had with Bianca Jagger.

In that case the song should've been called "Big Mouth"

Wish I could have seen him in concert.

This may be my favorite...

Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?


 

"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.

Shout out to all you Dads. Especially those with daughters. :love:

Billy's daughter Alexa Ray joins him on stage during his last concert in Madison Square Garden in 2024 singing "To Sir With Love."

She refers to him as her "hero," not sure how he was able to keep it together but it was a lovely tribute from daughter to dad.

Joel is an aberrational instance of an incel-tier man that was able to mog the sheet out of most everyone with his music.

He has a few songs about trying to spin game, "Get It Right The First Time", as well as taking the Black Pill, "Captain Jack".

Billy Joel was born in 1949. Height was not judged as harshly in his young adult years as it is today. That said, his 5'5" height would have been a negative even in the 1960s-1980s mating environment.

Prince (born 1958) was only 5'2".

Billy Joel and Prince both needed to have exceptional talent to make a lot of money in order to get laid.

A 5'5" man does not date women in the 5'9"-6'0" range without being wealthy.

People in NYC (where Joel is from) are generally a little short anyway.

@MatureDJ You should consider NYC/Long Island/Jersey. You won't be as short and you can take delight in all of the wonderful Italianas there. Buon appetito!
