"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.

This is frustrating.

I'm 26 years old, but my facial hair does not fully come in. It's pretty dense on my chin, but there are huge patches on my cheeks where nothing grows.

This is the worst of both worlds, because I can't let some stubble come in, for it looks kind of dumb.

Anyone else have this issue? Are there any ways to speed up facial hair growth?
 

"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.

Yeah... bulking up does it.

I used to be a normal 17 year old. Not I'm an overgrown 18 year old. Heh, maybe the testosterone kicked in during the workouts. Eh...

At least now I can have a nice 5 o'clock shadow. That and a chin dimple make me stare at the mirror more often than I should.

But I do have a tip for you: Massage your face. Whenever you wash your face, be sure to massage it. At least 20 mins a day. After a few months.. you should look like Gimli. :-D

It's got nothing to do with it.

I am in my 30's and still could not grow a beard.

It happen's.
 

"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.
