"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.

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.

"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.

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 ;).
 

"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.

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
