"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.

Anybody know a good way to control neck hair? I shave it every once in a while, but it's a hassle and hard to shave back there. Only people of certain heritages (I'm Irish) generally have this problem so I'd be interested to know how you handle it?
 

"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.

Ahh i feel you bro. Im Indian.. (as in India) so i am a hairy bastard.. and its weird cause this issue has always bothered me as well.

Whenever i get a haircut the girl would always shave it.. but it grows back fairly quickly and since i have black hair, it looks terrible. I tried doing it myslelf once, and gave myself the worst razor burn of my life!

If anyone can give us some insight on this one, please do!!;)

I'm Finnish and also very hairy (except for my chest.. can't get no damn hair there!!! :D). As for neck hair, I have no problems shaving it! I put some shaving foam or gel back there, adjust two mirrors to get a good look and grab my gilette! I have never hurt myself while shaving my neck.. No problems with a machine either! Not really helpful, eh? :) But this is how I do it! The only actual advice I can offer is get two mirrors, if you don't have been doing that yet! Without two it's impossible to see what you're shaving!

I shave my neck with an eletric razor (also has a trimming thingy for detailing) every 4 days. I grab a mirror in one hand to look at the reflection of my neck on the bathroom mirror, and I start shaving carefully. Even though I get razor burn, I just load on the moisturizing lotion, and deal with it. After a day, it's all good.

"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.

Hey Rashad

I usually go in a light, circular motion just a couple of times in each area. I also find that there's a sweet spot on the razor that doesn't cause as much burn. My trouble spots are on the side, which I can see in the mirror. So, when I get done, I take a look, and if I see any wild hairs anywhere, I shave them once with a regular razor. This is a lot better to do than just going over the area a million times to make sure you get it all. Sometimes, I get red marks, and that sucks.
