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.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

"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.

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.
