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.

Yeah, the music industry has decided to grow a vagina, I'm serious.

Have you guys heard the stuff in radio lately? The Justin Biebers, and the Lady Gagas aside, obviously! Most of the billboard top 40 are songs about one guy being obsessed with ONE girl, what is up with that? That has got to be the most saddest thing I have ever heard. The music is pure AFC, and I'm not being a seduction theory douche.

Is this what society has come to now, really? I assume that billboard top 40, and hit radio represents the popular music of the day, and popular music should represent the minds of the people of the day. So if everyones listening to this girly girly oneitis loving bs, that is good news to us...:D.

Anyways, what I believe is totally the opposite of popular music. My ideas on women is certainly not this "I can't live without you" bull.

How is this effecting you guys. Music undoubtably effects peoples moods and behaviours so I want to know, if you guys listen to this ***** music, how are you guys feeling? DISCUSSSSSSS!
 

"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.

Mainstream music is created by the record companies. Most of that isn't made by the artisits themselves. The companies use stars as a different medium to put out their crap. What sells? AFC BS, cause there are a ton of them sitting at home crying their hearts over a girl or dreaming that he can one day raise her baby.
 

"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.

It's not just music, it's the whole media!

Just look at all the reality shows on TV. You have grown men crying like babies and sharing sob stories every few minutes.

There aren't even any masculine role models in movies any more. Where are today's answer to Arnie, Stallone and Bruce Willis? I had high hopes for The Rock, but I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out the closet soon or starts making musicals.

I have nothing against pretty boys if that's their style, but everywhere I go I'm seeing guys with plucked eyebrows and bouffant hair styles, wearing makeup. Metrosexuals are one thing, but these are basically transvestites.

And yes, music, TV and the movies are nearly always about some pathetically helpless guy obsessing over some girl.

The good news is that there are a lot of women out there who still crave real men, so being masculine and strong willed definitely works in our favour.

Monogamy is a new concept?

Pop sucks anyways, who cares

This has been going on for awhile now and I actually thought it was worse in the 80's and 90's. Even more, I was one of the chumps who would listen to this type of stuff all the time, obsessing over one girl or dwelling in self-pity wondering why I didn't have a gf.

Well, we did get Predators, and The Expendables is coming out so all is not lost.
 

"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.

I'd say that most music, since the beginning of time, has been either about god or women.

It's nothing new.

Indeed. It's no big conspiracy, its just common sense. Even Tupac told Biggie, write songs for the bytches, the bytches buy your albums!
 

"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.

S.U.R.F you have just said something that has made me pretty passionate to hate the last couple of years. I stopped listening to mainstream radio and i started discovering my own music with last.fm. I couldnt agree more, the Billboard Top 40 is full of effiminate, anti-masculine ballads, and most f the street hip-hop is now luvvy dubby hip-hop.

Current popular singers:
Justin Beiber
Lady Gaga
Kesha
Taylor Swift
Beyonce

The US music industry is populated by women. Ke$ha's Tik Tok was the #1 for weeks a couple of months ago, and that song is screaming girl power. Any men who like that song are not men at all.

Be prepared to get emasculated if you follow pop culture. You will talk using women's phrases "omg" "you know" "like" "are you serious?..."

I do like Keisha's song Blah Blah Blah a little, mostly because the beat is catchy, but more importantly, because it has some brutally honest lines in it.

Keisha sings "Don't be a little bytch with your chit chat, just show me where your d1ck's at!"

I like that part, it sort of proves my point that these women just need to be used for fun and sex, and seriously, don't be a little bytch with your dinner dates and your chit chat!!! Just go for the hook up, these girls know what's up these days, no need to be a pvssy.

You guys are quick to forget the bad boy era.

I am gonna go listen to "As long as you love me" and "quit playing games with my heart" because I suck.

I don't listen to the radio too much these days because of reasons like this. I often find stuff on the internet to listen too. I also guess it depends on what station you are listening too as well. :D
