And I don't mean head. Every time I tried to shave down there it caused so much itching I went crazy so never made it a habit.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Hmm... Not sure, I never have that issue.Yeah I used a trimmer but it still itched like a motherf
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.
Maybe try some aloe or Gold Bond powder, or maybe even some cortisone cream?Yeah I used a trimmer but it still itched like a motherf
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I actually believe you.I found these younger women tend to favour me being oldskool.
I've noticed hairiness is perceived very differently on older men than on young. If you're young, hairy, bearded (especially if you aren't blessed with a close, full beard) you ain't viewed very favorably and seen as unattractive and lazy and not taking good care of yourself, whereas if you're well into your 40s or beyond, being hairy and bearded suddenly becomes "manly" almost as if it's a sign of wisdom or something like that. I personally don't get it, but to each their own.I actually believe you.
And coming from that perspective, the bush is not only welcomed, but also expected.
But I'm saying from my perspective, as a lean 30 something guy. In my body aesthetic, they favour hairless.
That's why men trim rather than shaving themselves bareAnd I don't mean head. Every time I tried to shave down there it caused so much itching I went crazy so never made it a habit.

Ofcourse it's a personal matter, but if I shave my armpits I tend to get smelly quicker. Aesthetically it isn't necessary so I don't even bother anymore. Mind you: I NEVER had any hair on my chest so I'm not a hairy guy( black Caribbean Latin Indian & Chinese dna)I just started wet shaving few months ago using a safety razor and I recently started doing the armpits and down there with it too. If the area ain't used to razor shaving it has to get used to it first, sometimes even if your technique is mild or use whatever pre/aftershave product on the skin. Frequent shaving on a new area for around a month and a half is what it takes for my skin to adapt to smooth ATG shaving and a completely spotless result.
Likewise. I'm also blessed with a pretty much completely hairless torso besides armpits and a couple of nipple hairs. Imagine all the extra work of having hairs all over your upper body, including back, ough.Ofcourse it's a personal matter, but if I shave my armpits I tend to get smelly quicker.
