On subject, it's basicaly horse**** to make people limit that kind of things. In that case, a "clean" person can be very creepy etc. Besides, we're not in the fifties when "new looks" equaled diabolical, we know better.some posters said:Wee wee!. Mommy! T!tman said I'm a crab and said I'm like a chick because I do what chicks do!!! Mommyyyyy!!!
"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.
Pontification of the week

- Start date
"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.

It's part of the trend towards a gender-neutral society, or gender-neutral workplace.

For the better part of my career as an art director for 3 major casinos I was never allowed to wear a beard. Interestingly enough, they all allowed mustaches (which I've never had TYVM). In my last job before the one I have now the casino was very strict in it's no beard policy and even the hint of stubble could get you a warning. I would always wear a chinstrap beard (and do now that I'm done with casinos) on vacation, but promptly shaved it off before I went back.
I think it's more a job conformity standard than any kind of social control. Think of it this way, if you see a guy with facial hair wouldn't that indicate that he's in control of that aspect of his own choices? Meaning he either works for himself or is in a career position that is important enough to be relaxed in this regard.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

Personally, any guy who needs a beard to convince himself that he's a "man", isn't a real man.
Its like those weenies who buy giant Hummers. Driving a big car doesn't make one a man, neither does wearing a beard.
I guess t!tboy is one of those Hummer driving dudes.

Hey hey tit man is a legend. Don't hate on the dude. I guess a beard delievers somewhat of a dirty look, same deal with employees with zits and s#it like that. It just delievers the clean cut look.

Can you even grow a beard? You do that much woman like whining and moaning, I would of thought all your testosterone had been replaced by estrogen.
You're trying to find answers that arn't there. You can't have a full grown, uncared for beard, because they do look scruffy (yeah, I know you've been told that) but that is the reason. It's no good getting your panties in a bunch and shouting "I refuse to accept that! I demand more answers as to this inequality!!", because the answers simply arn't there.
In any case, have you actually checked "most workplaces?", because to the best of my knowledge a beard is perfectly acceptable if neatly trimmed.
And to be honest, it's no good citing "well women can do this...", because first, it's a trite childs arguement and second, well the only comparison I can make is this :
If a woman grew her hair, and refused to put a comb through it, or wash it, she would be in the same position as a man with a fulll, unkempt beard.
Honestly, is it really that important to have a beard? I've always thought men with beards look slightly tosser-ish anyway.

Talk about dumbarse generalizations....this fool takes the cake. Let me guess, you've never even been to Alabama?spider_007 said:
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

No, but I went to college there. It's real easy to say sh1t like that when you don't have to back it up, and when you do, I'll bet he'll use some TV reference or something he's heard from a Northern liberal news reporter.Centaurion said:
Back on topic, I haven't really noticed the trend toward anti-beards. Actually I don't know how my company reacts toward it. I prefer short hair and a clean shave, so I wouldn't know. It's all a trend toward equality. It's just another socialistic way to try and find LBJ's "Great Society" which is a bunch of horse sh1t. Geez I hate liberals, nevermind don't get me started.....

"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.

It wouldn't be so easy to do if he wasn't constantly calling anybody a female who doesn't agree with him. For someone that's only been here a couple months you have yet to see the best. That kind of behavior is nothing short of a legend, let me tell you.BBX said:

Titwanker got OWNED!!!
Not so much as the fact that I hadn't been on the site since April and just noticed the negative one you left 3 months ago this morning, and wondering what it meant went to a vBulletin website to see how it worked. I do understand it is months after the actual conversation took place but I had some catching up to do. I don't hold grudges.( . )( . ) said:
Well I could only use past experiences as a reference, and being flamed for ASKING people's opinion of a campus speaker who was giving out semi-AFC advice, not saying "hey I agree with this guy" was not exactly grounds for having 'feminine' tendencies. If this whole reputation feature even means anything, then I see it hilarious that somebody like Dr. Beard is "on a distinguished road" while I am an "unknown quantity" for actually giving out pretty good advice if you have read my other posts (not trying to brag or anything). But if my "credibility" all comes down to that one negative rep then it could mean bad news for some newbies. I only say this because there are some people treating Dr. Beard like the messiah.( . )( . ) said:
And this basically comes down to a case of the pot calling the kettle black. You can't say everybody else is being bítchy and then do the exact same thing but claim you're not.

"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.
