"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.

Baldness killing my confidence. Picture inside

"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.

I have a friend who works in a dermatologists (sp) office. From what he tells me people are getting really good results on the "big three" Propecia, rogaine and nizoral shampoo.

Do a google search on the big 3 i've heard good things about these products.

You may want to get tested for food intolerances/sensitivities. It doesn't look like male pattern balding, it seems like more generalized thinning. I've read of people who have reversed hair loss after being diagnosed with "celiac" (wheat/gluten intolerance) disease and changing their diet accordingly.

While you are solving your medical problems, maybe you can change your style and wear a cap. Or you may want to cut your hair short spiking. This can boost your confidence temporary however you must seek medical attention.

You will be better off seeking them other than asking through this forum because most of us are not professionally educated to advise you regarding this.

However generally speaking there are two types of balding which is scarring and nonscarring. Scarring involves permanent destruction of the hair follicle whereas nonscarring does not involve the permanent destruction of it.

So I can give you the list as well but there are many many different types of balding, from being too stress, inherited issues, hormones imbalance and stuffs.

None of us will be able to diagnose the root of your problem, only when you find the root then you will be able to solve your problem.

All the best.
 

"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.

I have a healthy full head of hair, but I shave myself completely bald about once a month. I have an asymmetrical face, and so if anyone's skull should be misshapen it should be mine. But I got used to looking bald fast, and I like the 20 bucks a month I save that I used to spend on going to the barber (buy 10-20$ hair clippers at wal-mart and do it yourself). Plus, taking a shower is a total breeze. There's nothing to comb or prep in the morning, either.

So shave whatever you have left, off. Yeah you'll be self-conscious and everyone will remark about it for a week or three, but after that, it's back to normality.

Oddly enough, Matador is Indian as well and has balding issues just as you do. He got implants for his head, I'm not a hair specialist or anything, but your quickest fix would just be to improve the other parts of your avatar and to NOT worrry about your hair.

I'd say cut it off, just like Neil Strauss did, right now the way it is, it's only going to hurt you, so either get rid of it or get a head full of hair.

Move on from there, no reason to get hung up on one part of your game, this isn't even your "active" game, just be sure to address is and worry about the harder parts of pick up

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Ignore those who say shave it all off. I know I couldn't live with being bald. OK mayb until you grow it back.

Go see a good dermatologist as MartinM said...sooner he better. Be careful and see a proper dermatologist. Word of warning trichologists are not necessarily doctors, so don't go to them even though they claim to be hair experts. Unless you want an easy way to lose your money.

get big and shave your head
Cannot stress this enough! you got good skin color (pasty bald guys suck, think vin diesel), shave it! Maybe not smooth, but like a 1 clipper wise.

Work on your chest, back, arms, ESPECIALLY SHOULDERS and legs. Pushups, free weights for arms and shoulders, and some plyometrics for the legs and in 3 months you'll look like a new person. go to the wannabebig.com forums for some really quality workout and diet advice.

Plus, you'll feel like a million bucks
 

"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.

My friend was dealing with that for quite a while... he didn't let it effect him too much, but one halloween he decided to shave it all off for his costume and from that day on he's kept it really short... less than 1/4 inch and he is clearly more confident with women than he used to be.

I used to have thick, wavy, surfer dude hair. Until I hit about 25. I started noticing alot of hair in my bathtub strainer.

I lost a bet playing poker one night and had to buzz my head with a #1 guide on the Wahl clippers. I had been in the military so no biggie.

I was shaving one day and fvcked up my sideburn to an unacceptable level so I said screw it and shaved it bald. Best thing I ever did. Went out that night and had bytches ALL over me.

But I have the look for it (muscular and mean looking in general.) Chicks and dudes alike are constantly calling me Stone Cold and whatnot. I can't tell you how many hundreds of women have kissed, licked, rubbed, staddled, grinded, motorboated, and generally molested my bald fvcking head. :rockon:

Thanks for all the replies. I will ponder my options.
As I am tall my baldness won't immediately be obvious when facing a woman directly. But when I have to turn back it stings my heart she will see the ugly picture. Also cutting it short won't help when I'm in the sunshine. I will glow like a light bulb just like it does now.
