"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.

Evening folks looking for advice on my hair receding on the corners. I'm 30 years old still have a full head of hair but receding at the corners what's the solution for this? Can I get the corners fixed with some sort of transplant or is it too late any advice would be greatful. Andy. Snapchat-1922082030~2.jpg
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

get on them ASAP so you maintain your hair. I'm getting a transplant done myself but i also have a thinning crown. Your situation is so mild where a transplant makes zero sense. Your hair is excellent for a 30 year old man

the key is maintenance

The real solution is self-acceptance. Nothing wrong with a little maintenance to see if it helps, but acceptance of what is natural to men eliminates years of angst.
baldness looks horrific on white men
 

"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.

Agree that at least a certain amount of acceptance is needed here. Hairlines and thickness change with age. It happens.

If you decide to fight it with finasteride and rogaine, prepare to use them for many years, as any lapse or discontinuance will reverse any effects they have made. They help, but they’re not wonder drugs…

Yeah, I’ll say baldness is fine or even great on white men. Largely depends though on their head shape and facial features. Some guys can pull it off no problem, while others it just does not work. Usually fat detracts overall, but I’ve seen even bigger guys occasionally pull it off. Bone thin cheeks aren’t good as well. Don’t want to look like skelator.

Some girls will be turned off by it, but just as many will be fine with it or turned on by it. I recommend keeping it shaved clean however - a strong receding hairline usually detracts or makes you look older (imo).
 

"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.
