"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.

Wanna hear how reggae, techno, rap, and dance mixed together sound?

"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.

I'm still looking
The only real good songs to come out from Bob Sinclair is World Hold On (Best one), Together, and Love Generation. I feel like a lot of the songs (like the one you posted) try to mix too many different genres and in the end make the music sound sub-par. In general, his music is pretty sweet though even though I don't like the song you posted.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Is this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke. I might not be able to take you seriously anymore, ever.
share your opinion on why you don't like this song.

Edit: Alle Gory - what is hill billy about this song? It's a short fat reggae-ish black guy singing to the techno beat from Calabria.

This song is as far from Country as you could get........i don't hear any guitars and I don't see any rednecks.

Can someone be logical with me at all?

He's just poking fun at your hill billy like taste. For example, calling KFC a fine dining restaurant is like calling this song a masterpiece.

I can't stand that guys voice... but the beginning of the video is funny
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It should be self-explanationary to anyone who's single source for music isn't MTV, and Alle_Gory made the perfect comparation already, but here goes.

You're calling a song with some some guy with a digital voice, simple beat and lyrics a "true masterpiece of music". It doesn't have much to do with music anyway, since I don't hear any real instruments. There's nothing special about this, there are thousands of songs like this that plague the airways. The clip is nice though, but that hasn't anything to do with the song itself.

But yea, to each his own I guess, lol.

this song is not mainstream and has never been touched by MTV.......the beat is HOT without a doubt.....i dont see how someone could hate on that beat because it sounds really fresh and fun.

As a connoisseur of underground electronic dance music and techno, the song has a very mainstream commercial sound and structure. One of the long outstanding hallmarks of underground electronic music is the freedom to break away from conventional formulaic lyrical structures, but the song seems to only reinforce the stereotypes.

Too many places at once
I won't front on the Calabria drums, which are actually pretty awesome though I'm not really that keen on the bassline or hook.

But I will back Rogue in saying there is TONS of amazing dance music out there which is much farther off the map than this song. XLR8R runs a podcast and they are consistently on the bleeding edge of what's going on. Aside from the tempo, there's a lot of dancehall songs with similar production to Calabria:

Diwali Riddim
Coolie Dance

These ARE mainstream Rescue Mission, because Sean Paul broke both these songs in the US as 'Get Busy' and 'Feel Alright', respectively. I love these beats -- but they're not exactly hidden gems.

In the end if it makes the girls dance though... what do you care what anyone thinks of it? It's not a contest...

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