"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.

word to pantera! guitar solo from floods is favourite of all time, any genre.
 

"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.

Rock on I like Megadeth too...Youthenasia is my absolute favorite metal album of all time.

I like Metallica too but really, who DOESN'T know at least one Metallica chorus? You're right in pointing out there were and are alot of serious metal bands out there so it's hard to narrow the field to just a few.

"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.

Tool is such a sick band. Danny Carey is a monster on the drums, a god if you will. I got to see them live last year and omg they put on a show. They are one of my favorites and the only "newer" band that I like. I'm much more into the classic stuff like Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Hendrix. I guess my favorite metal band would be Death though. A lot of you guys probably don't know who they are but they kick major ass. If you want to listen to them, then click this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm9pNmBFZHw. They are extremely heavy and extremely good, and I don't even like death metal. Talk about good drummers though, Richard Christy was in Death and imho he is very very underrated. Some of you might know him from the vHoward Stern show, but man can he pound the skins.

Added a thinking man's dimension to metal...Metallica mostly sang about evil and imaginary dragons and shiat...

What?! Sounds like you put "Enter Sandman" on repeat. Metallica has some of the deepest music I've ever listened to.

mosh in a pit for me!! then get way up front by the stage in front of a speaker that almost blows your eardrums and when the pit pushes into the crowd behind you and everyone pushes into you and you get squeezed in between the crowd and the stage or the bar that goes in front of the stage..smile and think of me.. then kick someone in the knee!
and if the crowd surfing starts.. pray you land on stage! and if a security dude knocks your butt down in mid air.. get right back out there and do it again!

"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.

Megadeth by a mile. No other band can rival such disparate songs as "Tornado of Souls", "My Last Words", or "High Speed Dirt". The 'Deth approached different subjects with different musical moods and techniques, and managed excellence in almost all their works.

Rounding out the top five are Opeth, Sabbath, The Crown, and Testament.

Metallica might have influenced the popular metal sound in the eighties, but I find their sound rather formulaic and monotonous. It's hard to listen to a full Metallica album without getting bored (except perhaps "Ride the Lightning")

Besides, everyone knows Metallica pussed out from the Black album on, and eventually sold out and became whiny old men.

Slayer makes some catchy riffs, but they tend to lack variety much like Metallica. At least Slayer didn't sell out like Metallica, though.

Lamb of God? Please...

P.S. Pantera and Korn had much more influence on (crappy) late 90's nu-metal/rap-metal than crusty old Metallica.

P.P.S. Tool is not a metal band. They're great prog rock, but are in no way metal.

1.Pantera was my favorite band but we have to face the music Dimebag is dead and Pantera and Damageplan doesn't exist anymore.
2.I consider Disturb as a Nu-Metal band which isn't completely metal.
3. COB is a great band but I just couldn't leave Grammy Winner Lamb of God out.

I love so many styles of music, I don't say this about a lot of bands...but Megadeth blows!!! Listening to them makes me want to punch a baby in the face and chug a gallon of cyanide. I can't stand them.

Megadeth blows?

Megadeth's latest album was a real shame but can you say the same about early Megadeth?What do you think of Rust in Peace?Does it also make you want punch a kid in the face and chug a gallon of cyanide?If it does then it's absolutely okay because taste varies but I'm just curious.
 

"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.
