"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.

I can't imagine what I'll look like when my pubic hairs are totally a silvery white color. I'm from the old school, so I really don't want to shave my pubes. Plus it would look silly because I am a pretty hairy guy.

I'm in shape and relatively young, but my pubic area is quickly beginning to look like a 70 year old mans with all the gray hair.

Is this happening to any of you guys? What do the women think, and any derogatory remarks from buddies that happen to see you in the gym? What age did you pubes turn gray? Did you freak out?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Dude, if it weren't that it's about pubic hair, your post would sound as if it were written by a woman. But then again I guess women could go grey down there too.

I digress though. Dude, there's more to life than obsessing over your pubes!

<cracking up>

I just spent two hours at a comedy open mic, and this post was funnier than anything I heard all night!

But seriously, check on your thyroid function, low thyroid can cause grey hairs. A naturopath (ND) will be more helpful than an MD in this case.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Dude, cut 'em off!!!

Much more flattering for the male gens anyway. Not a baby shave, just a crew cut. I do it and the fems like the tidiness.

"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.

any woman who would run terrified over some gray hairs is not a keeper anyhow.

Do you do this yourself? I would be somewhat concerned about anything electrical and/or sharp getting down there.

The way you make it sound ("crew cut"), you ask for like a #2 guard at the barber shop or something. That would be awkward, I'd think.

Don't they call that "Manscaping" (as opposed to landscaping).

That sounds even worse... would you use a "bushwhacker?" Sounds painful.

But consider this, since we are in a botany state of mind, there is a marketing idea in all of this....

Ch-Ch-Ch-CHIA PUBES!!! :D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
