"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.

I am currently in the phase of slicking my hair (which is quite verdant in the front) back to cover the wide apex bald spot. It seems like it would be waste to simply go to a complete bald look, especially since it would be totally OVER for me, with my other attractiveness issues. :mad:
 

"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.

It's a no-no.

Shave your head completely bold and own it. That's what I do.

"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.

"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.

Is that Michel Thomas, the great language teacher, on the right? There were rumours he wore hair, but you couldn't usually tell. Unfortunately the hairline is a dead giveaway in that pic. He was a superb language teacher, though, hair issues aside.

ii had to google it. Yeah looks like him.
Wigs are pretty obvious ,most of them.
At nighttime in a bar or club with soft lighting tho, prob not so much…
 

"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 thought it was him, having had some of his CD courses, I recognised him even with his eyes disguised.

These days there are much more advanced, affordable hair systems which, if done right, are virtually undetectable, however that wasn't the case so much in the past, hence the 'terrible syrup' jokes.

That said, the Sean Connery pic was a hairpiece, and that was in the 1960s, so maybe the TV studios had the tech to make them look realistic even back then, but only the rich could afford that level of realism. Everyone else who wore hair had to be a laughing stock.

Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne was the poster boy for Advanced Hair Systems here in Aus.
it’s was touted as hair regrowth or transplant ..but I suspect a wig tbh.

If you go down the wig road,just make sure its applied properly,maintained,and not a piece of cheap crap from Ebay. In my previous workplace,I came across many such blokes,and its amazing how they open up to you,Iv seen some wigs that were indectectable,was amazed when told,and some that even Stevie Wonder could spot. You cannot buy a wig for £10,slap it on your head any old how and expect it to look real,and yet,iv seen many blokes do exactly this
 

"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.
