try smiling, and trim your beard. with or without hair u look damm depressing. do something about it
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.
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.
with hair like this, there's nothing to smile aboutkingy said:try smiling, and trim your beard. with or without hair u look damm depressing. do something about it
Yeah well it's easy for you, you more than likely have a full head of air *rolls eyes*kingy said:your alive with endless possibilites. stop being a little tit
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Oh gee umm how would I get it cut then?thedude4242 said:dont go to a hairdresser, you not gay are you. get a faid cut or get a lot shorter hair cut.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Hm, like a faid or a lot shorter.TheWayOfAllFlesh said:Oh gee umm how would I get it cut then?
You have to work with what you have. There is not much we can do to give you your hair back, short of recommending transplants or a piece. Work on things you can control, like your body, your attitude, your personality, your connections.TheWayOfAllFlesh said:I understand advice dished out now will be along the lines of 'women care how you act not how you look, you just need to be confident'. Now how the **** can ANYONE be confident when they look in a mirror, see that, and then realise that this is what other people see when they look at you. I'm a ****ing joke to mankind. I even hate leaving the house now, and It cost me my last job because someone pointed it out and I nearly smashed a glass in their face, and now it's causing me to be depressed and now my college work is starting to suffer.
I needed to get that off my chest. You can try post something that 'works' but my pessimism will find a flaw with your answer somehow. I feel like there is literally no point to carrying and putting effort into anything
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.
OK, I admit I am a bit highly strung and emotional, mainly because In my massive group of friends I am now officially 'That Guy', the hopeless single friend that most social circles have, meaning I'm falling behind and im looking for a quick fix because I feel im getting treated like a child because of itDonJuan11 said:You have to work with what you have.

You nearly smashed a glass in someone's face because they called you out? You sound very high strung and emotional, which is VERY NOT SEXY to girls. What would you do if your girlfriend called you out, rape her or kill her? You have to relax, keep your emotions in check. I'm surprised the guy didn't have you arrested with you ending up with a criminal record.
This is life, no one is going to give you anything or feel sorry for you. You have to earn money and sex from girls, negotiate for it, fight for it. If you give people what they want, no one will care if your hair is receding, but they will care about your attitude. LEARN something, TEACH people something, CREATE A PRODUCT that people will pay for, GET A DEGREE that's useful, then results will come. You are so focused on your own feelings and thinking how other people should make you happy, you are losing sight of what's important.
To get that compliment from a female boosts my self esteem a fair bit, as I've never considered the fact that the other sex would be interesteddalynxx said:You think you're bad looking? Omg you just need a make over like the guys have said. You need to get real and work with what you have - you look fine. You're no Channing Tatum, but you're not Jack Black either. You're better looking than a lot of guys so just suck it up and don't be a punk. You can do it!
Read this post again because it's pure gold. It is absolutely perfect. I think everyone throughout their lives has to deal with the fact that they care about what others think of themselves, and it is in how you deal with that that determines the most fundamental aspects of your personality.PHAT Rabbit said:I didn't read this thread at all.. just this reply here.
The one thing I can tell you is the more you want to get "a quick fix" the further away from that you'll get.
I think your main problem is you're needy and have an ego... God I think I type that in every post, but everyone here needs to hear it. You should learn how to become unattached to things.. especially what your friends think. Go pick up "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman.
Here's why.. you cannot live up to expectations. It is impossible. Even when you do live up to expectations you do not get what you want. Seriously that validation you're seeking from your friends cannot and will not come from your friends. It only comes from your self!
So sit down and ask yourself... what is it that I think I need to embody to become a better man. I'm not talking about a physical object either.. I'm talking about characteristics. Maybe you feel you need to become more social with people around you, maybe you feel like you need to be a more cleanly individual, maybe you need to eat healthier, maybe you need to go to the gym, maybe you need to learn how to enjoy every second of your life, maybe you need to work on focusing yourself more, etc... I don't know what it is that you need to get yourself situated.. but the only person that can make you feel validated is yourself!!!!
And truly that's what your reply is about... you feel like you're being treated like a kid, you feel like everyone thinks "your that guy".. and what you really want is for someone to tell you "YOU'RE NOT THAT GUY". But the truth of the matter is they cant..and won't until you say it to yourself first. Find your identity and great things will follow. Accept yourself first than others will too.
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.
