"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

As a balding guy, the only thing I can tell you is that I hope everything goes right with your transplant. Take care of your head to not **** it up, follow the basic procedures that the doctor will recommend you. Keep the area with a good blood flow (which means eventually using minoxidil, finasteride, scalp massages or any other natural product) and clean your diet (****ty diet intoxicates your blood, and you want nutrients to be flowing to feed your follicles).

Hope things go awesomely well with your surgery.

Hi @deadmasterx thx for the wishes, yeah my HT comes with all the monoxidil/finesteride as a whole package including 1 year hair rejuvenate maintenance care at their centre.. Im doing 2500 graft by a well known reputable surgeon in my country, hairline design were done by him and planting were doing by technicians.. Hope it all went well for me tomorrow.

I salute you sir. It takes guts to undergo a hair transplant.

I had a FUT back in 2012 and I remember I was terrified the night before.

I distinctly remember kneeling over the motel bed reciting all the Catholic prayers that had been drilled into my head. I BEGGED the Lord to guide my surgeon's hand so he wouldn't fvck up my hairline and damage my donor hairs.

On the day of the surgery I grit my teeth and took that leap of faith.... and it was well worth it...

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I've been told that this is far from a painless procedure. Judging by the photos, you've earned the right to be called "sir."
Thanks for honoring me, not so many person were capable of doing unto others as unto you unless youre a great person Sir!


Its azzholely painfull so that i have to request for extra jab every time they plant in new area.

Not 'that' bad tbh. But i'm starting to recede a little and it really doesn't suit my face. I'd need about 1800-2000 grafts at a guess
Mine needed about 2000 graft, but doc suggests go denser bit to 2500.. So 2500 it is.. Starting last year i starting to recede more on the frontal area.. I got panicked, turn out my crown area has atarting to recede as well,, yikes! .. Good prp and finestiride/monoxidil are good enought for that atm..

I couldnt afford to shave my hair again, any hairloss wouldnt be noticable by me.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Thanks for the update. :up:

Can you expand about your 3rd session being futile in your first post? I don't quite understand what you were trying to say.

Also, can you tell us what type of transplant you got and around what you paid for the 2000 graft job?

Did you get this done in the US?

At first I choose less invasive prp that stands for platelets rich plasma, drawing your blood from mostly from your arms, processes in machine and injected it into your scalp to stimulates your existing hair folicle to grow again.. That doesnt work.out for me.

Ive got an FUE transplant, where your hair is pulled out one by one from the donor area, this is the modern way of doing hair transplant as it will produces less scar at the back of your head.

Im reside in sout east Asia Malaysia. Here they charge USD 2 for 1 graft.. Im doing 2500 so in total it cost me 5 grand, procedure takes place from 9am to 4.30 pm.. Its a whole day of pain job and i could see my face is swollen now.

Will post result after 3 month.

You look like a guy who would look alright bald, scrap this nonsense, shave it, shine it up like Besos and use that money for the hair for a gym membership.

Reinvention is not surrender, do not cling to the past, look forwards.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
