"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Looks do make a difference, I guess

Last year I had short, spikey hair and shaved basically every day. I had a moderate amount of success with women. This summer though, I let my hair grow out to medium length and just mess it up, and I shave like every two weeks (I get a full beard in about 4 or 5 days) and I have a noticed a HUGE difference in women's reactions. Lately, whether it be at parties, in the classroom, whatever - I can't even make eye contact with a woman! I think so far in four weeks of class/parties I've seen ONE girl looking at me and making good eye contact.

So my beard is coming off and I'm getting a new hairstyle, but I just wanted to warn you all how important it is to shave and look clean!
 

"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.

Nice... when i was in a LTR like 5 years ago my girlfriend told me she liked me with a goatee, I thought it looked horrible but she insisted i have it... She also got pissed off when i worked out. Needless to say back then i didnt get much attention from the girls. Now im clean shaven, have short spiked hair, have very little bodyfat and smile alot. Girls are always smiling at me and sending me signals... now if i could just get some confidence and work those chicks id be fine !

lol, is this some kind of revlation for you guys? It's simple, looks is for attraction. What people look for if they want a serious relationship is personality.

Nah I knew that, but I personally thought it was all crap. Guess not.

Also, I was going to go back to the clean shaven look, but my (male) friends all liked the look, saying that it was "rugged" and that I "looked like a man". So, yeah, don't listen to most guys for advice about women I guess.

I think the point he's trying to get accross is to show that you have good hygiene and grooming.

Of course different looks vary for different people.
 

"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.

It doesn't matter...

You guys don't get it.

The reason why you aren't doin well with the shaggy hair and scruffy look is because you believe in your mind that you won't do well...

I just got the # of a model/bartender and I was wearing sweatpants, hadn't shaved in a week and looked like a bum. She just called me from Vegas to say that she looks forward to seeing me when she gets back...

I am not the best looking guy around. I am average.

The difference between me and you guys is that my personality is becoming well groomed. It doesn't matter what you look like as long as you have got a personality that attracts women.

Get out in the field. Approach women. Learn what attracts them and you won't have to worry about looks...

The only reason why a short haircut and being shaved works better for you is beause you (in your mind) believe it will. And when your not shaven or looking clean you doubt yourself and your abilities.

I'm every woman's type. Shaven or not.

I've gotten much more attention since letting my facial hair grow out some. I usually clip it every other day with a beard trimmer set on 1. Giving straight up advice to be clean shaven is wrong since different looks work for different people.
