"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.

Greenday is punk and they aren't a "made" band. They have busted their balls to be as successful as they are. They've earned it. VH1 did a documentary on the band, and you'd be surprised at the story of the band members.
 

"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.

MY reality
Green Day is NOT punk. Not even close, sorry. Maybe like 12 years ago they were, but not anymore. However, they have earned their place, unlike most acts out there today. It's just that...their new album is pretty weak compared to Dookie and other earlier efforts.

They are only massive successes now because their music is more pop oriented.

i agree with you
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That's funny...GreenDay considers themselves Punk and that is their official genre of music. Again, GreenDay IS a Punk band.

Sounds good... and it's easy to say such a thing.

The only problem with this is the horrifying fact that both Hollywood and MTV is only a response to the people. They are only giving us what we are asking for.

This is still a Democracy ladies and gentlemen, even though it does not feel like it. 'Real World' first arrived in 1990, and there was no other reality show in sight... for years in fact. It was and has been a hit ever since... now we wonder why we see so much of this bull**** on television.

People get mad about Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Green Day and others. Newsflash... these mother****ers are selling millions upon millions of albums in spite of file sharing.

You know those ****ty blockbusters? They still gross hundreds of millions of dollars.

It's not Hollywood nor is it MTV... stop blaming it on an external force. No... the problem... is us.

"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.
