Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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...?
 

"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'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)
 

"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.

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.
