"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.

Long hair?

Don't know if this is a stupid question but...I'm growing my hair long just to see what it looks like. I've had really short hair all my life and I don't feel that comfortable with long hair...however all my female friends say it looks good and better than when my hair is short.

Should I consider this advice (and women's advice on clothes and appearance in general) to be as useless as their romantic advice?

Or is following their advice on fashion for guys a good idea?
 

"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.

Most times, i would recomend taking fashion and hairstyle advice from women.... They really do pay attention to that stuff and know what looks good on a guy.

Just don't wear something you don't like, even if they say it looks great. Find a style that is you, first and formost.

Develop a sense of your own fashion. Girls can help at this, but there's a belief that all girls are automatically good at fashion, one that they gladly propagate. My girlfriend is proof that this is false.

Long hair is like porn star. This is what I think.

Long hair is ****ty, and makes you look trashy. Don't grow long hair.
 

"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.

there is a trend coming around regarding long hair in men

just look at Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Viggo Mortensen

whether this works for you, remains to be seen. hollywood stars could rub **** on their face and they'd still have a line 2 miles long of people willing to sleep with them, so don't take it as gospel.

dude ive got long hair, it looks pretty much like ashton kutchers. Who gives a fuk if long hair looks gay, if thats what suits you, keep it.

I can tell you, i always had long hair since i was about 11 and then the summer before senior year i cut it short, got like a spikyish sort of style. First day of school, everyones like 'damn, you cut your hair, ahhhh!!!11'. 2 girls told me straight out 'it sucks'. Man i remember one girl looking at me like i was some monster going 'you cut your hair?' That day was a nightmare and all i did is cut my damn hair. I obviously then grew my hair back and didnt look back! I dont know why but short hair just doesnt suit me, i look like a whole different guy

basically my point is do what suits you, if long hair is for you, keep it.
