"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Everyone loves music don't they? Heh of course they do..atleast I think they do :whistle:

Well anyway...

Here in the Midwest (not Chicagoland though) people don't listen to a variety of music that is outside the halls of (rap, rock, and mainstream, etc).

I listen to a genre of trance music known as psytrance. People are like "wtf" when i tell em'

hmmm don't get it heh.

Well whats up with this anyway? I've had the girls in my car and we were cruisin' and they seemed to be confused with my choice of music. Oh well.

Now I am not changing what I listen to or playing crap that they like and I don't, but what advice can you so-called playas give me? In my opinion I'd just throw some "Swisha House" rap dudes in the cd player and call it a day.

Everyone likes rap these days don't they?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I absolutely hate rap.

Besides, taste in music is something you should never have to change. Compromise once in a while, maybe.

So, "so-called playa" keep playing what you like.

I'm a big psy/goa fan!

And you're right, it's so hard trying to explain your taste in music to other people! I've tried to convert all my friends, but none of them can get their head around it. It's just a little too unconventional for most people.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

dude I have been writing trance/house/breaks for the past 5yrs... its my soul... No one I meet is into it when I first meet them. But by the end of the night they WILL atleast respect me for liking it... They can tell i'm passionate about it.. And I usually can sell people on it as well.

If you really like it, dont hide it.

If you're with a girl and she states she doesnt like the music your listening to give her a look like she is crazy (****y+funny). Get into the music and let her know that you dig it so much her saying **** isnt really gonna change anything . she will respect you for having the balls to go against her, and she will think its cute that you care about something so deeply...
of course dont be a horses a$$ about it... dont suddenly turn it up all obnoxious and yell "fvck you b!tch this is my car!"
Just let her know that you're a PERSON and you have a WORLD that you created and live in. She has to respect that, if she doesnt that fvck her anyhow, at that point I probably would turn it up loud... VERY LOUD!!!

http://www.randyttp.com/music anyhow check out some of the last tracks I have been working on (shamless promo), they arent psy.. just darker/uplifting proggy type trance.

"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.

http://www.di.fm/ -- - just as posted earlier... this online radio is a good place to start..

if the goa/psy trance doesnt mesh well with you try giving the progressive or uplifting trance a try... and if still that doesnt work then I recommend Dnb or breaks!

Sarcasm! :p But still Trance is one of my favorites I like Psy/Goa as well. I produce Trance/House/Breaks as a hobby. I used to Spin nothing but Trance, Progressive, Hard House, etc….. I still do when I get the chance!

I am very passionate about psytrance. More than anyone I know. The classics : Xerox, Simon Posford, Sandman, Raja Ram, Infected Mushroom, Eat Static, and many more.

I dig most house and trance, but I HATE most techno and rave. Especially that bullshiznite crap that is usually 170-2250 bbm. That stuff gives me a headache!!

And people who think all electronic music is "techno" are nothing but ignorant. If you listen closely, you can distinguish the major styles from one another.

Example, if you listen to break beat house and then throw some classic Hallucinogen (Simon Posford) in and turn that up, unless you are completely devoid of ear drums, you should be be able to distinguish at least beat and rhythm of the song.

If your into psy you might wanna try listening to some IDM - Aphex twin, µ-ziq etc. A mate of mine whos into psy got me into IDM, you'll probably like it. It's kinda similar. PM if you want some choones :cool:
 

"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.

LOL. That's not the best way to do it but it may be more satisfying.

One girl I had with me in the car teased me for listening to rave music. I just looked over at her and flipped her off.

Especially with music, it's a taste you aquire over time, and if it's something you're really into, then you know your stuff about that topic. Other people having a problem with it just shows their ignorance and being closeminded.

Both good. But I prefer their songs that are more structured.

...I suggest Meat Beat Manifesto for that sexy drive music.

That aint Techno thats Hardcore. Only gamers hopped up on caffeine really listen to that sh*t though and hence any hardcore events are super c0ckfests.

I used to be heavy into the trance but then got annoyed at the ever increasing length of the breakdowns and over commercialisation. I could never get into psytrance/goa.


Im into electroclash and electro house these days and minimal techno, although everyone here is.

The only good clubs I know that play good electro house or clash are all gay clubs... gotta hand it to those silly faggots, they know good music!
 

"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.
