"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.

How do I shave so that I can keep some stubble so I don't look 16? I don't like a full beard or the clean shaven look. Should I buy a beard trimmer and put a #2 on it?
 

"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.

An electric shaver will get that done; I'm not sure what # will do the trick for you. It depends on the individual.

Start with a bigger number, then just work your way down until you get the look you want.

I shave with the grain and just shave lightly. Not pressing into the skin.

Buy a beard trimmer and see what works for you.

I use a beard trimmer but mine grows pretty fast anyway.
 

"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.

i use a Wahl trimmer, it's powered by a single AA battery. it's actually meant for cats/dogs, but i got the thing for $.50, so i'm not complaining, it works great.
it gives a good stubbled/rough look when you just shave with that.

a funny side note:
i'm 22
-if i shave with my mach 3, i get carded for beer everywhere i go.
-if i shave with the wahl trimmer or just run with a light beard, i get asked "cash or credit?"

so now my shave depends on the venue...
