Mine is In a Satin Mood by Julie London
"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.
What's your best CD?

- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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.

Most of my cds are mixes by various artists. If I had to pick a favorite album though, I'm gonna either go with King by T.I., or Get Rich or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent (I'm just going to go ahead and say fuk you in advance, its the highest selling rap cd of all time for a reason).
"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.

I'm checking your work right now.
edit: Ok this is what I got. 2nd highest sales week in rap history at 870,000 copies its first week (and this is coming in the bootlegging era).

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.

i knew that... all in all I dont' listen to rap anymore really to be honest, but I knew what the best selling of all time CD was.. and it's not even close. people STILL buy that CD

Master Don Juan
WTF?! Well I kept searching and I'm getting conflicting information. Whatevs, its still a bomb ass album, I don't care what anyone says. Generally though, I don't buy or even illegally download entire cds. Basically, whats the point of spending all that money, or using up your ipod space downloading 20 songs, when you really only like 5 or 6 of them?
"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.

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.

as far as rap cd's go however... I'm a little older than you are. Get rich or die trying is a GREAT CD.. again I'm not into rap anymore but when I was I had this CD and bumped it... Jay Z is really the only thing i listen to know that's close to rap.
The best Rap CD i personally ever heard.. just classic rap cd's.. is Bone's EST 1999.. if you haven't heard it.. it was GRODT before GRODT.. EVERYONE had that CD. EVERYONE. it was so popular they released it TWICE and both were best sellers. Every damn song execpt like 3 had music videos.. Crossroads ahd 2 videos!!! mind you.. you can't understand 1 word that they are saying though the entire cd.. but that doesn't stop it from being a classic.. and you knew all the "mumbles".. beacuse they weren't words such as:
"getame on the run withame shotgun (slang tada bagbag tang)"
and who can't forget the classics like
with songs like EST 1999, Mr. Ouija, Crossroads (both of them), First of the month, the Weed Song, the song above I don'tk now the title to, Me Killa.. the last song of the CD.. I forgot the name of it but it was so popular you hear every band playing it at every Jr High and High School game you went to..
"bone, me smokeame hydro (bone) won't letame high go" (there hasn't been a better song ever made to get high to.. not that I would know)

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:

My top cd of all time is probably Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory. That album turned every part of my life upside down! :box:
A close second is Dimmu Borgir's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant...sometimes the two alternate as my favorite.

Tool - Lateralus is the greatest cd ever. It's the one I go back to time and time again when I need a boost or refocus my energy.
10000 Days being a very close second.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

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:
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.

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:
As far as my favorite album:
Crowned in Terror by The Crown.
Straight up death-thrash with just the right amount of leads to keep it intresting without getting masturbatory. Really interesting drum work, if you listen for it. They're kind of a death metal version of Slayer. The lyrical content relates exclusively to satan, death, drugs, satan, death, hell, death, satan, destruction, anger, and power.
What else could you want from a metal band?backbreaker

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
