"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.

Are you saying a buzzcut can have a variety of styles, but long hair can't? I'm confused.
 

"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.

Since I've grown my hair out, I haven't worn it the same way on consecutive days. Today, I'm wearing a headband (similar to the one worn by Tiago in this year's World Cup, as well as Ronaldinho, Beckham, et al in years past). Some days I'll wear a full ponytail, some days a half ponytail, some days I'll wear it back, and some days I'll wear it down. Some days I put a "quiff" in my hair with hairpins. That's a hell of a lot more variety than I ever had with short hair.

You lost me at queef.

Just kidding.

Well, I personally think there are more hairstyles for the shorter variety just when you consider short hairs ability to change day to day with absolutely no maintenance... Add to that some haircare products and you have a zillion combinations of hair if you wanted, and it still looks good even if you don't use that stuff.

But, since we can't agree on that, let's just agree that combining the two into a MULLET or an unkempt SHAG is the worst and should be avoided at all costs.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Shaggy is disgusting and three years ago..

I have to disagree about the mullet; it is the manliest of hairstyles, as well as the most versatile.

scissored on a buzz? like a #2 or 3?

I go longer. #4. Once it gets to the point where its too long to spike, and too short to look decent, I buzz it again.

Your hair is too wavy and your face is too young. Maybe in 5 years you can try it, and even then you'll have to straighten your hair.

It will take almost a year before you can wear a full ponytail. About six months till you can wear a half pony, which looks cool anyway. DO NOT GET MAINTENANCE CUTS. They'll always cut too much off, and you don't really need them. They don't make the hair grow faster or healthier.
 

"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.

I'm just going to be honest and please don't take offence. The first pic on your last post, frankly, looks ridiculous. You don't have the type of hair that would even look slightly good long. It's far too curly and it's growing ******ds, to be honest you just look like you need a damn haircut.

Long hair (NEVER ponytails - sorry but they're a feminine thing) is fine, but never anything past shoulder length in my opinion, and guys with seriously curly hair should not do it.

You want a shorter cut, a 5 or something... even that may be a bit too curly.

It's up to you really, but that's just my opinion.
