Here's one for starters. The cheapest and most effective manicure you can get is with a 79-cent pair of nail nippers. Leave the cuticles alone -- it's their job to seal the junction of nail and skin. But here's the good part. Forget filing. To get them smooth, rub them lightly against a concrete sidewalk. They'll file down quickly and evenly. Feel for sharp spots and give 'em another brush or two. Carry a nipper in your car so you can do it before a date if you forget.
"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.

"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.

I agree about the clippers. And I never thought about concrete as a nail file.
I would add a .99 pocket knife to the .79 clippers to dig out dirt and shave back cuticles, which will, at least on some people and especially with little toes, eventually grow over the end of the nail and cause it to become ingrown.
Maybe it's from doing grappling for years, where the mat rips off your nails if they get too long, but I think guys should have zero length to their nails, with no white visible at all. Nail length just collects dirt. If your fingers are ever going to be inside a vagina, you don't want it to get scratched up or get yeast infections from your dirty nails.

It is natural for a woman to spot your nails, then notice your watch all in the same glance. There's no need to wear a $800 Movado just to impress a woman, but make sure you're not wearing the scratched, dirty $5 digital watch you wear while jogging.
