"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Do any of you guys ever feel ugly?

"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.

So my guess is you can either lose weight or bulk up...if you've got a good looking face but your terribly out of shape, either fat or skinny...its worthless...that ugly, yet ripped "Froto (Lord Of The Rings)" looking dude will attract more chicks.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

When your feeling ugly , ur not yourself ..
You dont have confidence .
But sometimes ( almost everyday ) when i feel beautiful i have hell of confidence , i approach every girl , i talk to everyone and this is really fun ..
So make urself look cool , get a shower every day or two and youll have real fun
..It's strange because on those days that I feel that I look like ****, girls are actually more friendly to me and approach me vs days that I feel that I look like a million bucks.

Though recently I have let my hair grow out and kept it combed a bit better and have been sporting a short full beard. Keeping it trimmed with clippers. I have looked in the mirror a few times and thought to myself that perhaps Im not a bad looking guy (at least face wise) after all.
Besides, you don't have to be a 'pretty' boy to get the attention of an attractive woman. I find that being 'manly' rather than 'pretty' is of much more use.

I keep hearing that we're our own worst critic, but some people they seem to have the opposite thing going for them.iqqi said:
I feel better today.. But still... Depressing.. Must be because it's the ****ing winter.. Can't wait till the summer!!

I dont know if I ever feel ugly, but I definitely find myself more handsome on certain days. On the days I dont feel my best, I force myself to hang out with my peoples and they cheer me right up.
"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.
