"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.
Your favorite Metal band?

"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.

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.

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.PulpFiction said:
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.

"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.

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.PulpFiction said:
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 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.
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.

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?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
