Master Don Juan
Mine is In a Satin Mood by Julie London
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.
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.
Desdinova said:Best CD for what? I can't pick just one disc out of my collection of 600+ that's better than the rest.
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.
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.
speakeasy said:There's very little hiphop I can tolerate anymore. And this is coming from someone who was a bigtime hiphop head back in high school in the early 90s. I was lucky enough to see Tribe Called Quest on tour last year and that was one of the highlights of '06 for me.
the new school has turned me away. that and just maturing with age. I have heard the "this is why I'm hot" song and I kinda dig the beat... but i have no idea who sings it...ValleyDJing said:I really can't stand the old school hip hop. I've got probably about 500 hip hop songs in my itunes, and only maybe 50 of them are from before say...2003.
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.
Problem with Dream Theater is they're too technical and not catchy at all. Dream Theater would increase its fan base immensely if they incorporated catchy riffs.Desdinova said:Okay, maybe I can pick one that REALLY stands out... Cinderella's "Still Climbing" album. Complete Don Juan album from front to back. Well, maybe except for the last track, but it's better than anything else I have when it comes to being inspirational for the DJ way of life.
And speaking of Dream Theater, James LaBrie has a kick-ass voice.
Hah, good to see some other metal lovers here. I'd give Nightside Eclipse a slight edge over Anthems, but it's close. "Inno A Satana" is one of the best black metal songs of all time. Immortal's thrashy (At the Heart of Winter and later) stuff is great, too.edger said:Problem with Dream Theater is they're too technical and not catchy at all.

As a Black Metal enthusiast I'll go with Emperor's "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk". \m/ Other favorite albums are from Gorgoroth, Dark Funeral, Carpathian Forest, Darkthrone, Burzum, Satirycon, Immortal, Bathory, etc.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
