"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I never thought of this before, but I decided to grow a beard. Reason being that I have lots of acne scarring on my cheeks and it never popped into my head that a short, well-trimmed beard could probably cover that up very nicely. Not to mention, I'm VERY curious as to how a beard would look on me in the first place.

I'm gonna keep it short (I'm not going for the Kris Kringle look), so probably will keep it trimmed to maybe 3/4 inches long or something. Since I just decided I probably have a good two to three months before it comes in nice and thick.

Anyone else got 'em/had 'em? How'd you feel about it?

I know the ladies are probably split on facial hair (since everyone likes their own thing), but I figure as long as I keep it neat it shouldn't hurt my chances.

"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.

I have a beard. I shave my neck and jawline twice a week. There are a lot of websites devoted to beards on the internet that will give you tips.

The only tips I have is to shampoo and comb your beard at least once a day.

Also your face may break out or itch while you're growing your beard. Just be persistant and it will go away after a while.
