"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.

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

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"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.

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
 

"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.

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...
 

"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.
