"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.

Any DJs playing piano really well? How long it took you to really master it? Did you start very young?

I always loved listening to piano playing and my dream was to learn how to play it really good and I would like to achieve it, if possible, in near future.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I played recitals at 5 years old but gave it up. I think that gave me immunity to stage fright in sports i.e. pitching a baseball game with a decent-sized crowd.

In high school and college having to make speeches scarred the living daylights outta me though cause I was so lacking of knowledge. Today though, I've been told that I should do public speaking cause of my ability to go on and on, in detail, on subjects not many people know about. I didn't start reading intensively until about 5 years ago, but on the right subjects (critically-thinking literature) until about 10 years ago.

I've played guitar more. You can take a guitar with you everywhere you go. I'm not gifted at playing anything really, but I have the music in my head that I would like to get out and have awakened from dreams wishing I could just record it then and there first thing in the morning.

That's great. I always loved all instruments but piano was just something else and I admire people who are nailing it.

I started age 30, it was real tough but it's worth it. Takes about a year to get good

It's like anything else, if you want it, you gotta work for it
Its never late to learn it that's my motivation, and I see it worked good for you. Did you practiced it more every week? How many hours per week until you reach the solid skill?
 

"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.

About one hour per day

It will take weeks. Just keep going

All you have to do is practice.

There is nothing quite like getting good at an instrument.

Doesn’t matter how long it takes to achieve master musician status. The popularity results are outstanding, if there’s a piano on any premises, nothing starts a party like someone laying down some serious rock & roll or R & B on the keyboard…

This kid is killing it! Amazing


That was awesome!
You will be a great piano player!

Now that you've shown a beginning interest, here comes the requests.
Do you think you could learn the piano playing John Legend romantic song 'All of me'?

I bet you could!

Its a fun song to sing too because his voice goes on a rollercoaster of emotion. I believe he loves who he composed it for.
 

"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.

Hey man thank you for your support, I appreciate it! There are really magnificent songs that sound even more amazing on piano, nocturne especially.

You'll do well.
I like the wikipedia definition of nocturne. I'll have to find a song example so I know what that is

I played classical from early gradeschool to about Junior High School. Then I got into NuWave and Synthesizers. I used Piano game to get a few High School and College lays without even knowing it. LOL

Personally I'd recommend just getting down general notes and music theory from YouTube videos if you want to get started fast. I wouldn't bother with classical unless you want to attract the conservative crowd who are generally a boring group.

Think more along the lines of Blues and just figuring out chord progressions and playing techniques/improvisation. This can go a lot further IMO with the shortest learning curve. But always try to start on an acoustic piano when possible so you can build up your finger strengths and develop finger nuances of hitting the notes in various ways(expression).

OK going slightly off tangent - Strengthening your fingers through piano playing but also observing the nuances of how you hit the notes can do wonders when it comes to fingering girls. I've had quite a few tell me I could get them off that way better than they could themselves. LOL Take it for what it's worth.

Definitely this! Playing piano and anything really that uses your fingers helps strengthen them which helps with other ventures as mentioned. I don't know notes too well but can play by ear some tunes. I used to play after using the heavy bag or speed bag to help with hand speed
 

"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 started when I was about 7, for a year or two, then later on at age 12. I played keyboards in my high school jazz band (that was a very good band), gave it up for college, but then once I got settled into my career & house, I got into it again. But a few years later I semi-retired and did a lot of traveling, and so stopped again. Then the great time waster of all time - the internet - got going. :rolleyes:

I remember a party that my gal (early 90s) took me to at her boss's place. He unknowingly had the nickname Charlie Brown, and so I took the initiative to play the famous Peanuts song "Linus & Lucy", and every gal there was smiling at me for it. :cool: This of course gave me lot of alpha cred with my gal, and she sexed the sheet out of me that night. :cool:

Haha that's great story, I guess you're early age practicing paid off since you got the puzz in the end.
 

"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.
