"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Of those in the poll, Metallica by far. They single handedly changed late 80's - 90's heavy music without cashing out (that came after Lars went Napster crazy).

Tool, however, changed music forever.

And how did Tool do that?

Obviously, you've never experienced Tool. Do yourself a favor and listen to Aenima, Lateralus, and 10000 Days then tell me your view of life isn't in revolt against the paradigm you live now.

Get rid of all of the fvcking Fall Out Boy crap you kids listen to these days and listen to real musicians playing real instruments.

To KarmaSutra: I abominate fall out boy and all other band of it's genre.Where the **** did you get the idea that I listen to such a crap?Tool is a decent band and I've already heard Aenima but it hasn't changed anything.You think people should adore Tool as much as you do but no way.I already know what real music is and I don't need to learn it from you.

I don't give a good goddamn what you listen to and give even less of a sh!t if you listen to Tool or not. Keep Justin Timberlake in your cd player if it makes you rock out.

You're asking about good music, I'm suggesting Tool as the only band in the last decade who've consistently gotten much better and deeper without compromising who they are.

You act as if I'd lose sleep over dumb sh!t you listen to or don't? Get over yourself.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

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

Metallica out of those easy. I'm a big fan.

I love metal but I also like Fall Out Boy. *cringes in anticipation of a backlash*

They are cool and upbeat, its good to listen to some cheerfull catchy stuff instead of just metal all the time.

Metallica out of all of those definitely! Megadeth are way too inconsistent (but at least they have steady output). Slayer hasnt done anything relevant since 1994 (although Diabolus had some killer songs). LoG is starting to lose it I think. None of those bands have ever created a song as good as Master Of Puppets, One, Orion, Disposable Heroes, sh!t, even The Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me!

My favorite metal band for real is Dimmu Borgir with Between The Buried And Me and Opeth in 2nd.:rockon:

Metallica here, props to Anthrax as well.

As for my boy Karma, I agree with EVERYONE else, your over rating tool, they might have had that an impact on you but it wasn't the same for the REST of the music industry.
 

"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.

I would suggest that most of the bands on your list are heavier than the polled bands. I would also suggest that the bands you listed are ALTERNATIVE bands, if you look at the bands polled, they are also from a different era although the lines get awfully close to blurred.

There's no option for Children of Bodom...now that's freaking metal. FYI guys, Tool isn't metal. Neither is Fall Out boy. And Sevendust rocks, I can't believe I missed the opportunity to see them live...

edit...no Pantera or Damageplan either? What kinda poll is this?
 

"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.
