"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.

Yea, others suggested it. I used to let it grow out and shave just once a week. My part time job allows beards BUT they have to be neat and trimmed which I hate trimming it. When I grow it out I look like Joe Thorton's beard. The guy on the SJ Sharks with the sloppy beard. Some suggest without facial hair I look way too young and kiddish for my age.
You don't need a full beard; 2-3 mm stubble will look even better. Buy a trimmer from Costco for $50 and use it twice a week (5-10 min per session). Also, your haircut is too short.
 

"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.

Look at Tanner Guzy, im not a fan of him but wow the ttansformation

He's a ginger, more of an orange color though.. Shorter hair the better. Most ladies do not trip over themselves with orange / gingers...

Why when I go on Tinder or Bumble they're overweight a lot of times or located 35 or more miles away? Been a week since I saw anything over HB6 within 20 miles of me on those apps.
Your HB6, are my and most dude's here HB 2-3's. Take what you can get. I will agree with the 5 o'clock shadow though. It will make you look more masculine. You every edge you can get. Everyone told you to move, but you do not want to leave Mommy.. So, IDK.

Ik truth is most ginger men are at a disadvantage look wise.
But Tanner is a great examplenon how someone can turn things arround. Big improvement from what he started with
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Maybe some scruff and a shaved head would work for him? Hard to say. @biggoal, do you have any friends or people who you can ask for advice in terms of IRL that are good with style? Do you know any gay dudes? They will prob. be good one's to ask on style.

I did have an lesbian manager (low end HB 7) once but she got transfered to another location. One year older than me. Instagram and FB hog she is.

Ask her for advice. You need someone hands on IRL. Besides,, ladies love to do make overs.

Agreed. Weight gainer is perfect for him. It's the fastest way he can put on the LBS; but he also needs to push some iron.
Gaining weight doesn't do any good if you don't work out. It will go to fat. In my case the fat goes straight to my gut.

Never done old

But i know getting a good shot can be very hard.
Im sure it can help greatly, but imo 1 or 2 prof shot is good, but other pic need to look non-proffesional.
That's true... unless you pay a good photographer.

And about normal photos that's something important. I use to have a mix of those.

I'm tired of OLD sites and how I have to drive 30 or more miles just to meet anyone.
That's not good in that point.

Maybe try some nice events (not parties)... You may found some nice girls in there.

Like I said if you lived in my region and 60 or over you'd clean up down here. It's like the opposite age wise living in nyc or la for dating. But most girls decent ones at a min 45 miles away. That just wont work for a relationship and wont go anywhere. Why would a woman even reply to you if you're 60 miles away anyway. I'm up to 70 mile radius because 60 miles or less and I see the same handful of faces everyday.
 

"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.
