"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.

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

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

(Just kidding :))

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.
 

"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'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.
