"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

What is an "ugly guy" really?

I mean, in my mind its actually pretty rare you see a true "ugly" guy.

I think in most cases guys who come across omas ugly they have some mix of the following.

Unfit/out of shape.
No sense of style
Low level aura or bad attitude (no confidence)
Bad skin/hair/teeth from poor health etc

Someone said "health is beautiful" which i agree with.

Whats your thoughts on this? Is "ugly guys" as common as people think? Or is it mostly a symptom of poor lifestyle?

Case in point below.

 

"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.

You're correct. Any guy can be physically attractive if they're willing to work at it.

Ugliness is lacking proper biological structure for a male, like having a weak jawline for example. The guys in your pics werent ugly, they were out of shape until they fixed it. You cant fix ugly.

Chew a pack of gum everyday and chew hard, you'll have a strong jawline in no time.

OP, we could say the same thing about women. People in general are just out of shape, don't care about themselves enough to really make themselves attractive.
 

"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.

When I think of women that I find unattractive, they could move heaven and earth and it isn't going to change my opinion. I find it hard to believe that it is so different for males, that they can just lift some weights and eat better, and suddenly "poof" they're handsome.

Some people just look better than others. If Danny Devito would just hit the gym harder, he'd be pulling as much @ss as Arnold Schwarzeneggar? Really? You can maximize what you have, that's about all you can do.

I would generally agree with this. Most men with good physique, charisma, style, and takes proper care of themself will be at least a 7.

It is the little things like..
-glasses that fit your face
-facial hair or not
-proper haircut
-proper skincare
-enough sleep = no bags, droopy eyes, or poor posture

I didn't say all guys can be 10s if they want to be. I said any guy can be physically attractive if they work at it.

Danny doesn't need looks, because he's got the cash and personality down, but I assume you weren't specifically talking about him.

If someone looked like that, yes, they could be physically attractive by working at it. They won't be AS physically attractive as a 6'2" cut guy with a strong jawline, but again, I never said that.

Chewing a pack of gum won't rearrange bone.

If you look like Danny DeVito nothing can help you.
I know what you were trying to say and I agree with you but Danny's a bad example. He look alright when he was younger. He's just old now. Better example is Andy Milonakis.

I was talking more about Danny's height. For women, short means ugly.
 

"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.

Understand there is the "not my physical type" realm. Where a woman is not attracted, BUT ONLY because she prefers a different Body type or hair color or height.

These preferences habe nothing to do with standards of physical attractiveness.

In fact, I think it's safe to say this is more often the cause of rejection.

a 300 pound girl looks like an entirely different girl when she weighs 140 and goes to the gym

Chewing gum helps the muscle in your cheeks. It won't make your jaw bone bigger but it will make it look slightly more defined. Plus it'll be unlikely that you will have bad breath.

Andy has very good Charisma skills in my opinion. He knows how to have fun and just be an overral real dude. People's first impression of him is always going to be that "fat 14 year old" until he starts talking.

true, unfixable without plastic surgery ugliness is a rare trait

most ugly people just don't put enough effort into looking good
 

"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.

With all physical attraction, men and women are the same.

If you're short, you can't grow.
If you're too tall, you can't shrink.

If you don't have a symmetrical face, you can't do much.

It's possible to get plastic surgery of course, but I wouldn't recommend it.

It's possible to get a brace (teeth), get lasek (eye surgery), go to the gym regularly, fix your diet, master your posture, get a great hair style, fix your style, where shirts guys. Smart shirts. pluck your eyebrows, clean your nails etc.

Women can go a step further and add make up, some guys I know do this too.

Arash Dibazar wears eye liner and nail polish.

On that note, you can also get some tattoos to enhance your image.

You basically clean up, dress well and work out.

Rhinoplasty;
Chin, jaw, or cheek augmentation or reduction;
Eye lift or straightening;
Fillers for volume or symmetry in any area;
Liposuction for double chins;
FUT hair replacement;
Limb-lengthening procedures to get taller;
Teeth straightening;
Diet/exercise.

Ugly is a choice.

True, Danny Devito could never be a Schwarzenegger, but he doesn't have to be a Devito either.

Protip: Do not depend upon physical appearance to do the heavy lifting regarding attraction. We'll all deteriorate in our looks eventually.

A strong awesome personality will make people forget all about how you look. It takes greater confidence to be awesome while looking ugly than if you look stunning.
