"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.

Lately I've been listening to UK "grime" style hip-hop when I work out, stuff like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, etc. I just got the "Run the Road" compilation CD that has a lot of good tracks on it. The beats are rough so it gets me pretty pumped up
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I just listen to music that I like.

Last night was Rodeo Clowns by Jack Johnson and some Dave Matthews Band.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Theses kinds of music have positive effects on me too. I don't use iPod or Walkman, I find them distracting but the music they play in the gym is some techno gay sh|t that's why I have to tune myself out while working out.

Official Lifters' Tune Thread

There seems to be a growing number of people checking out this part of the forum. With WBA, EFFORT, A_Unit and others making a regular appearance and offering their assistance, it seems like more and more people are realizing that a strong healthy you, is a happy you. I'm hoping you guys (meaning everyone) will be equally excited in helping compile a list of tunes to bust out during a workout.

I'm hoping to update this frequently, adding to the list, possibly even making a "webpage" with the listings on there. Of course they would be organized by Genre>Artist>Song to make searching a little bit easier.

If you're wanting to add a song to the list, be my guest. Try to follow this layout to make it simple for me. Thanks guys


Genre(Rock, Rap, Metal, Hard Sh*t, etc.): Artist Name - Song Name


I'll toss out a few ones right now...I'm plenty sure I'll add more as the day goes on.

Rock: Rob Zombie - Demonoid Phenomenon
Rock: Rammstein - Links 234
Metal: Static-X - I Am
Metal: Static-X - Push It



***I understand that not everybody will agree with the music selection, and I am sure that there is enough maturity here to have a civil discussion. Some people don't like Rap, some people don't like Metal, et cetera, but for the sake of everybody here, and for the sake of keeping this thread open, try not to start a flame war over somebody's music selections.

The Rocky Soundtrack works for me.

Otherwise some hard and fast psychedelic trance (Hallucinogen, Space Cat, Filteria, Misted Muppet)

But I generally think that music with a fast and hard vibe works well. Can't imagine getting much motivation listening to Enya whilst lifting. :)

Canibus - second round KO (a classic, nearly every fighters fav rap song)
the game & 50 - hate it or love it, in my hood, gunz come out
tony yayo - i know you dont love me (great 'I hate you *****' motivation song :) )
big pun - whacha gonna do, dream shatterer
cypress hill - how i could just kill a man
system of a down - chop suey, hypnotize
nas - your da man

I occasionally like gritty, bleak songs to keep me angry edgy and focused, like:

tool - aenema, hooker with a penis
alice in chains - here comes the rooster
Smashing pumpkins - bullet with butterfly wings
NIN - only, closer
nirvana - come as you are
dmx - one more road to cross
metallica - one
wu tang - cream
pink floyd - time (get your ass moving!)
 

"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.

lol...even st. anger. it's the only thing that p.o.s. album is good for.
HAHA!!! A girl I was "seeing" bought me St Anger as a present, I scanned through it once, said "What is this sh*t" and never played it again...

When I'm doing a work out I put on a whole heap of stuff on random. I have some party type r&b dancey sort of stuff (think "you got served" music) some 3rd eye blind, metallica live stuff, disturbed, Winger (yes, that's right I said Winger), and of course some AC/DC ("gone shootin" has a great tempo for dumbell exercises)
 

"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.
