Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

"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.

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.
