Well, I was reading up one of my old, old threads, and almost everyone said that I should smile in that topic, but doesn't smiling make you look gay? I don't want to go around approaching girls, looking like a fruit or anything.
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.
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.
Ah, I see, so it's not gay. But should you go around smiling all the time or should you smile only at certain moments?ValleyDJing said:hell no, smiling doesn't make you look gay, unless you do it wrong. show teeth definitely and make it sort of a crooked smile but a big one. the crooked smile makes you look sly you know? try to keep your eyes under control...relax them you know what i mean?

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.
Half smile, what exactly does that look like?Half a smile is better.
I didn't ask whether or not it was good or not, I already know that it's good, I asked if it makes you look gay and now, I know the answer. Besides, even if it does make me look gay, what do I care what those other guys think? Women still love it and I'll still probably be getting more girls than them, with my "gay" smile. Long as I don't look like a total fruitloop. A lot of people say it's not cool for a black guy to smile, but they're only saying that to cover up their own insecurities.delete this thread
cant belive you have to ask if its good to smile or not
smile = happy = self confidence = girls take note = win
I actually don't, or I wouldn't of asked it.Docs said:Viper, what the hell is with asking this question?
You already know the goddamn answer.
don't use those smiles, they look scary, not charmingNighthawk said:

Morphiex said:nooo smiling does make you look gay ,
the way to aproach a girl , is to never smile keep a frown on your face ,
make it look like your gonan hit her , be mad as hell ....
then you walk really fast to her , and yell at her .... thats the only way to get girls... nothing else works....

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.
