Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
What is your hair loss pattern? Full crown but overall thin on top?I either dont care or wear a hat. Both have worked fine for me
Balding in the middle...hair in front and back.What is your hair loss pattern? Full crown but overall thin on top?
It was banter man, behave yourself.OP has a problem with hairloss here. I'm not going into detail about my sex life on his thread
This forum has a problem with keyboard warriors not answering questions or offering any solutions to real problems
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.
Ok. Bald crown here.Balding in the middle...hair in front and back.
To be fair, muscles, clothes and confidence are recommended to everyone.It's the main contradiction in the fullheads' reasoning: they'll tell you it's not a big deal and that it's just hair, then they'll tell you to make all these changes (shave, grow a beard, tan, muscles, clothes, hats, confidence).
If it truly didn't matter at all, you could just... remain the same in every area, but with a horseshoe.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Not to mention some transplants look like shyt that’s worse than being bald.gonna tell you what I told my mom who love to bug me with useless things like these and I started showing some white hair, who cares?
you should not care, it not something you can change, even IF you did a hair transplant, that would only mean you care about the opnion of others, work on things you can change, going to work out is something good, you are working on what you can change
I think head shape matters more than skin color. In such cases, I could see rocking a horseshoe e.g. Larry David.Black guys can pull it off well, but most white guys look hideous. Many whites are better off with some form of shoe instead of sly.
Stupid fullheads do a buzzcut like its one of the most dangerous adventurers in their life. In their mind it is comparable with jumping with parachute. They call it bravery.
There was a youtube video where a woman talks about the positive aspects of dating a bald guy and to be open minded about being with a bald guy and giving them a chance. One of her big points was how a bald man could be "a really nice guy towards your pets or children".
Translation: bald guys can mainly hope for ageing crazy cat ladies or single moms.
PMP mate, its the luck of the draw or lack thereof in the genetic lottery. Winner takes all. It is a *****. Play the hand you are dealt.It wasn't too long ago that I had a full head of amazing hair (okay maybe a little while ago 5-10 years lol). But my hair has slowly been escaping. my forehead is much larger. the hair on top is very thin. and I have significant balding on the crown. It would be classified as a norwood 3v (if you're into that sort of thing). Up to this point, I've been hanging on.. Convincing myself that it's not that bad. hahaha. But I have noticed a bit of a hit in my dating life, which I think is derived partially from the decline of my hairline, but also from the decline of my confidence as it's always in the back of my head. I went as far with this as to start using hair fibers to make it look thicker. Okay, the hair fibers work pretty good. But it's all fun and games until I'm banging some chick in my bed and she starts grabbing my hair with a look of surprise across her face (yes it's fake bytch haha).
Anyway, I have concluded to start growing my beard out rather than clean shaven. and slowly cutting my hair shorter and shorter over the next one to two months as not to scare the shyt out of myself when I look in the mirror (contrast principle). Start tanning so that the top of my head is tanned. And working out five times a week (because why not?). Until I get to the point where I have a full beard and no hair on the top of my head. Wish me luck because I'm frickin doing this.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
BRUTAL BaldShortCel BlackPill! The poor guy is also a FaceCel.Agreed. Dont take advice from stupid full heads. White guys with shaved head=cancer patient. Only thing worse than baldceling is being a manlet.
First of all, television is unrealistic by nature. It creates scenarios that are outside of the norm, so that feeble people will watch it in hopes of escaping their boring lives. In the real world, that video is akin to someone saying to me, "hey, you used to play baseball, right? Well we're going to let you face Justin Verlander tomorrow"... I'm probably going to strike out if I'm thrown right on the main stage.BRUTAL BaldShortCel BlackPill! The poor guy is also a FaceCel.
