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.

Thornley Album

"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.

You might want to remove that link, not allowed here. Hence why I said pm :p

I'm fine with questions, it's just no one's posted the album up in newsgroups.

:), thanks! :D

Thank ya! I'm not a fan of torrents, for the horrendously slow speeds, but I guess Newsgroups can't post everything.
 

"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.

Never had to. I can suck down (almost) whatever I want at my full bandwidth capacity. It's just I was blown away that no one had a Thornley album up within the past....120 days..I seriously cried, how could that be possible.

Thank you though, I had a BT client still lying around even after I uninstalled it a year ago. Seems to me I better keep it there. :)

Newsgroups, it's the pre-P2P deal. IMHO, it's better, but it can't serve everything up, and since it's revolving content, you'll get the cycles of new stuff, and the reposts of the old albums. You might find some of the lesser known stuff, or some bands that are right old and good, and sometimes, it just didn't get served up.

It's a network much more then music though. Newsgroups, as the name implies, is what it is. However, it serves me happily, and 99.9% of the time, the servers serve solidly, full speed (ISPs hate me).

The downside, $$$. I'd recommend it.
