I like slicking my hair when it gets somewhat long but I find many find it as a nerd hairdo [which I thought was slicking to the side]. What are your opinions?
"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.

"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.

I think it looks like someone peed in his hair
I dunno, doesn't appeal to me, but my hair is blond and curls at around the 3 in mark. go with ^his suggestion.

Definitely do not do that style. It's stupid. I could give you quite a few reasons not to do it. And anyway, it looks like a nerd thing. It depends how long your hair is and what you want to do with it. If you think you'd look good with long hair, get the sides cut a little so that the top of your head can grow a little more, then grow your hair out a few inches. Personally, I don't like having long hair, but a lot of chicks seem to dig it. It all depends on your face shape and the type of hair you have. Don't slick it though, that's just bad.

Hairstyle really depends on the person, so you should not try to imitate people who you think look good with a certain hairstyle.
If you naturally look feminine and dorky, then the slicked-back look probably wont suit you. It all depends on your facial structure.
Nonetheless, the most important thing is that you like it and feel confident with it.

"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.

Generall what you want to do is have the hair style that most strongly points out your masculinity. That means, in most cases, well groomed, short hair, excluding the Ricky Martin flip. There are a lot of exceptions though, for example, guys with a wide jawline still look manly with long hair, and guys with wavy hair can grow it longer than guys with straight hair an still look good. For me, I have really curly hair, and the afro look is a pain to maintain, and takes forever to grow back if you drop it, so I keep my hair relatively short, a #1 buzz most times, or sometimes I let the top grow out and spike it. But that's only on nights when I'm going out to a party/club/restaurant. To school or work I wear a hat ****ed to one side. If you're gonna wear a hat, hairstyle is still important. I try to keep my sideburns shaped and short, so that they don't look like a mess under a clean hat, and don't neglect the back of your neck either.

hey i think it looks sexy. But then again, what is the opinion of a woman on this site??
THe only thing about slicking your hair back is that you'd get a receding hair line a lot faster.

"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.

She's got a point- his hair looks ****ehey i think it looks sexy. But then again, what is the opinion of a woman on this site??
.I think the slick back went out of fasion in the 50s, I'd avoid it- along with a side parting. Try messy hair, that tends to work for more people. But yeah, go ask a barber, they'll know what to do with you!
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but a bunch of guys at my school straighten their hair, you know, with hair straighteners. In my opinion, this is OTT. Sure, I've got my hair bleached in parts, but straightening... sounds a lot too much like makeup. In my opinion, it's 20 minutes a day that could be better spent doing something (anything?) else. Still, anyone else have any opinions?

Yeah, slicked back is definitely too old school for my tastes.
I go with the messy, tossled look when it's longer. Gotta have some good hairgel for it though. A lot of times I just leave it ungelled and messy, and it works.

My friends hair is kind of like that and it looks good on him. Except the bottom half of the sides is cut with #1 clippers . Hes brown and it matches him. But I think it would look stupid on white guys.
"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.

Ugh, I always did it because I grew up in a large Italian family. It pissed me off when people were like "wtf, nerdy." I want to grow my hair out but what do I do with it until it gets long enough? My hair is getting too long for spiking and tooshort for good slicking. My bangs when my hair is going straight goes down to my eyebrows.

holy **** dante i think we have **** in common. my hair is probably just like yours and iono wtf to do it and yes im also italian. i always wanted to slick my hair back cuz my grandfather sorta did and it looked ****in great and my father can n most of my family but like id have to grow it out pretty long and its too long to spike but i jus dunno what to do with my hair at this point with the bangs n **** lol
Ditto, Dante and Crib. Italian, hairing growing down to eyebrows. Don't really know what to do with it. If I don't gel it, it can easily get messed up and look like sh*t. I look better with the long hair though. I'm thinking of letting it grow down OVER my eyebrows. Sometimes I'll do a mild side-part and sweep my bangs over to one side of my head and that looks good. But my hair is so thick that it almost never stays even if I empty a tube of gel into it. I dunno. Any suggestions anyone?
