"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.

Sad that this is the realist hip hop song...

..that I've heard on the radio in years (and on an alternative station at that).

I rarely listen to the radio I heard this today on my way to the office. Found out it was Everlast from the House of Pain (old school business). He pretty much summed up what my life is like right now. I'm getting by, but damn it's hard to not take the low road and do some dirt to make these ends meet.

I quit listening to rap, because I couldn't relate any more. I'm not a young kid doing stupid stuff and chasing girls. I'm not a millionaire and it doesn't please me to hear another man brag about how rich he is and how great his life is. To quote one of those rappers I don't listen to any more " What you eat don't make me sh1t" - Jay Z. Yup. When this is the realist thing on the radio, that relates to the life that most people are living, it says something about rap music and its "commercial message".

This has been my theme song lately. I see parallel themes here.

"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.

As Ayn Rand said, " I can SEE the "person next door", every day, so why would I want to read about him/them?" :) Same for hearing about them. Why would I bother with the mundane, when I can read about or listen to the finest that mankind can produce? I'll take the Boss, Tom Perry, many others, any day, over the crap that you hear today.

Don't worrry. Recording artists make little to no money. Fat f---- like Lou Pearlman make the money and sleep with the talent. But lets be honest. No young boy is going to get excited over a fat, sleazy, gay Jewish dude who builds a teenage boys fantasy park at his house. If I sound jealous it is because I am :yes:

Always the disgusting fat dudes who get the prime action from your stars (before you ever heard of them ;).
 

"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.

easy to say stuff about somebody. the reason you don't show some illustrating quotes, etc, is because you are INCAPABLE of it.

I used to be a huge hip hop head in my teens, but mostly old school stuff like Big L, Big Pun, Rakim

now the only emcee I listen to is Eminem, but i've been following him since i was 12. everything else is rock. Black Keys, Zeppelin, etc

everything now is about "swag" and money and all kinds of garbage. i can't relate
