You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
lol good thing you pointed that out.Aazman said:read who has written it.
then ignore it. Can't trust a woman's opinion. plus she doesn't represent every girl in the world.
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.
I think women like the looks of facial hair, it makes the guy look rugged. But I think they like the feel of the clean shaven guy. I used to have a goatee but the hair on my face is very stiff and it would irritate the girl's skin. So I shaved it off, plus it was getting too gray anyway. I'm sure a lot of guys have softer facial hair, mine is like steel wool and it's a bear shaving it off even.Anyways, what is everyone else facial hair like? I keep a clean shave now.
I used to keep it clean shaven but not anymore. I have struggled all my life with my image. I can't help it I have pretty boy good looks and a nice face. Having facial hair has given me that edge that I didn't have before. I look more mature and rough and not so much like a nice guy because of my pretty face. If you look like a nice guy/have a pretty face rather than a masculine face then you should definitely grow some facial hair.SeymourCake said:lol good thing you pointed that out.

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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Exactly my problem that's why I had to grow a beard. It doesn't look very good as it takes me me a while to grow facial hair but it does help me look manlier.Demonicale said:Yeah it does make you look older and more manly, i've alway's suffered from boyish looks which i think put alot of women off.
So i've grown me some long sideburns with a goatee and mustache.
