"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

In that currently popular song "The Reason" by Hoobastank,
when I read the Lyrics, it kinda seems AFC to me.
I DO like the Song alot, however, if the average guy that wasn't a famous Rock Star, said that kinda stuff to most American women, they would think he was a whipped AFC...
Am I right?
 

"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.

Almost all songs by men written about love are AFC songs. They are always about how they want the girl to come back and how they can't believe how lucky they are that they found a girl like that. Music and media is one of the main reasons there are so many real AFC's out there, along with movies and bullshit propaganda about what the perfect boyfriend should be. The guys might not really be AFC, they just sing what sells.

She's So High by Tal Bachman ('97). I really like the tune, and I (wince) sing it at karaoke bars now and then, but the lyrics are pure AFC. I even punctuate a few of the lyric lines with (NOT) when I sing it ;-)

Here's what you need to understand about music: the songs people most identify with are the songs that are about universal problem (lonliness, alientation)

although these things are the things you all attribute to being AFC, in all reality these songs aren't written because the guy who writes them is a big chump, they are written because the guy who writes them knows that people can IDENTIFY with problems like lonliness and alienation, and love.

quit identifying songs as AFC. It doesn't really help much anyway. Just realize these songs are written because the person that writes them knows that he's writing about something that everyone can identify with.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Best songs to give a boost:

metallica - hit the lights
slayer - raining blood
dragonforce - my spirit will go on

actually just about anything by dragonforce, cheesy power metal.

hammerfall - Legend Reborn
Iced Earth - Stand Alone
Kreator - Extreme agression
Danzig - Mother
Running wild - Calico Jack
Death - Spirit Crusher
Deicide - Serpents of the Light (satanic, but good music)
Deicide - Once upon the cross (same)

i can name hundreds more

Oh, God. I vomit everytime I hear that song now. They used to play that crap over and over 6 years ago when i was flipping burgers at some fast food joint.
