"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Boycott Gillette

"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.

P!SS OFF, GILLETTE!

I don't know where their home headquarters are, but protesters should start picketing the place 24/7.
If their corporate is stupid enough to buy extremely gender biased advertising, protesters won’t increase their intelligence level…

The only thing that works is severe revenue decrease. Shareholders don’t like that.

I'd really like to read that their stock, sales, and profits have plummeted.

they are owned by Proctor and Gamble.
Who are they? A couple of feminists?!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah, just bought Old Spice day before the commercial.
I like their deodorants. I'm not sure I can avoid all the P&G products, maybe it's best to keep the focus on Gillette. It may not even dawn on them why their antiperspirant sales are down (even if we could optimistically make a dent in them).
 

"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.

Maybe, Gillette is trying to get millennials to be all soft and, shave their beards. Seems like they may be trying to reverse sales declines, due to beardos?:D

Beardos? Lol.
Shaving body hair is much more popular now than it was when I was growing up. I would think their sales would be up from that alone.

You can get a safety razor for $30 and a box of 100 blades for another $12
I like double blades though. And my girlfriend usually buys me razors.
 

"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.

This cuts as well as a two or three blades?

Pfft, I have thick stubble, I think it cuts better. Your mileage may vary, but there are different razor blades you can purchase. For example, "Feathers" are considered to be one of the sharpest and most aggressive. You can get "sample packs" with a variety of razors and find one you like.

I do one pass with the grain, one pass across. Baby smooth. Switch blades out every 2 or 3 shaves. If you buy a pack of 100, its like 10-15 cents a blade.

This advert has emerged in Spain, dubbed into Spanish, but with the same content and message. It has been heavily criticised in the press, even the left wing media calling it "victimisation of masculinity". Gillette have made a huge error of judgement, on a worldwide level. Let's hope that this fiasco helps to recenter western society to embrace a rational mindset once more.
 

"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.
