"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.

"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.

the average person is said to lose one to two hundred hairs a day. people shed their hair. they grow back. it's when it starts to NOT grow back or grow back thinner and thinner that you have a problem.
 

"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.

Male-pattern baldness is an inherited trait (has sex-linked elements), so you have a good head start (no pun intended) as to whether you'll go bald by looking at both your mother's father as well as your own father. If both went/are going bald, you're basically screwed. It was originally thought to be sex-linked on the x only, but more recent studies apparently are showing some y-linked elements (your father) as well.

Stop doing hardcore drugs that change your body chemistry, I know a kid who does X, acid, lSD, coke, alcohol and weed. He's 18 and already has a visible patch and does a comb over lol.
 

"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.

I know a guy who plays Playstation3 and has a badly receded hairline. He sold it for a Xbox360 and his hairline grew back in two months.

Could be from excessive stress, have seen that several times, affects chicks as well.
Could be a latent psoriasis. Yes, it can lead to baldness already at 19-20.
Could be just the normal amount of hair falling out.
If it continues, go see a dermatologist.

I saw a bumper sticker once that said, "God gave certain people a perfect head, the rest he put hair on"

If you ever seriously start going bald, do what I plan on doing.

Shave it all off :D

Given enough light you can see anyones scalp through their hair. You probably have naturally thin strands of hair or sparse hair, everyones different. You can change your hairstyle to show less scalp, my point? See a hairdresser.

However, the itchiness indicates you may have some allergic reaction or fungal infection (dandruff) both of which can cause reversible hairloss, my point? Go see a doctor.

best of luck buddy, but if you are going bald shave it all off and you will look awesomely hardcore.
 

"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.
