"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.

I need some ideas for songs to do at a show my band is playing on the 17th. To name a few we have already...

Seven Nation Army and Sweet Dreams medley, '39, Crazy little thing called love, and tie your mother down by Queen, Hurt So Good by Mellencamp, Take It Easy by the Eagles, Proud Mary and Lodi by CCR, Gimme 3 Steps by Lyn Skyn, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran, Long Haired Redneck by David Alan Coe, etc.

More suggestions...?
 

"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.

I've got that one down but the other guys don't like it so much, so I'll throw that in at the end of the night.
Keep em coming

hey some new songs that I like and should be easy to learn if you are that way inclined:

Oh My God - Ida Maria (has cross generational appeal imo, highly danceable)

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You - Black Kids (love this song, ideally you should also have a synth in the band, not essential though)

Kids (mgmt cover) - The Kooks (original is all over popular culture atm, feels like you would impress some people in the crowd)

Science is Golden - The Grates (fast moving, chick singer, but I can sing along to it fairly easily)

Fascination - Alphabeat (very pop sounding but fun and will heat up the d-floor, need two singers and synth)
 

"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.

There isn't an age range because its at a nice pub/restaurant and I've seen 70 year olds and 7 year olds there. We're open to whatever we can play.
Thanks for the input so far.

Bob Segar, Strut, anything from the Cars. Ac-dc ala Bon Scott. ZZ-top. Dancin' with Myself is always a crowd pleaser.
