"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.

Eraser? You mean Erasure?
Eraser is from Downward Spiral, many versions out there on youtube, here's one. My favorite NIN for sex.

For Lords of Acid, crab louse, taste my honey, machoman. Curve is also good, lunatic calm mix of chinese burn if you have a gym rat used to aerobics music.

Of course the best music strategy is whatever they like that makes them want to do a strip tease before f-ck. Then wait til round 2 or so to put in your music and get things lively again.
 

"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 know that song Eraser very well... I just thought you were mentioning other bands, and then you said something similar to "erasure", and I was like hell no!

Here is some erasure for you. Honestly they are not a terrible band. I listed when I was 12 years old. But now no way in hell.

The Downward Spiral, Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, and With Teeth were masterpieces.

The Fragile only had 2-3 good songs. Rest of the album was boring filler. Year Zero and The Slip were boring drivel. So far I'm not getting into this album either. I've listened to a few tracks and it's clear he's stuck in a rut. His most recent albums are just boring filler garbage that he knows his fans will buy because they gobble up anything with a NIN logo on it. NIN is just a money maker now and Trent is milking the name for all it's worth.

This happens to almost all musicians. They put out 1-2 good albums then they become rich and famous and lose their hunger to create good music. Trent is 1 of those rare artists who was able to keep it going for 3-4 albums.

With Teeth was a masterpiece? You have got to be kidding me. With Teeth was just recycled garbage. The Fragile was the masterpiece. I think you need to listen to it in full again. When is the last time you did? You misjudged it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This is watered down, radio-friendly commercialism.

I say it's better than nothing. I thought he had retired or he could have Cobained himself by now.
 

"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.
