Who cares. Wear a hat if you are that bothered by it. Once the woman is hooked it won't matter.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Yea I got part of my facial hair on my chain has been graying since I've been about 25. Otherwise no other grey hairs.None to mild, little thinning on top and corners and sometimes receding on the corners, but I’m 30 and this has been so gradual I have a good 10 years I hope before action is needed.
I’ve been slowly greying since about 16, it’s ramping up now, people comment on my greys, I cut my hair short and you can’t see them. Hasn’t really put any women off AFAIK
It's been my experience that the strength of hair in front can more than make up for the bald spot. I've had gals seem to not give a hoot about my bald spot, but be amazed at the thickness of the shock of hair in the front. I have even played a game with them by saying that the price to put their hand through the front is to lick the bald spot.I honestly wish I could agree the theory that, "Balding is only an issue if it affects your confidence." But I can't.
When she sees a bald spot, her reaction is "Eww gross/he's old/he looks like my dad." Such a guy won't have a chance to "out-game" or "out-frame" his balding*.
*Unless she's like 38+ yo. Then she might cut him some slack. But younger women are merciless on this one.
I think whenever a gal sees a man wearing a hat, she's thinking "HE'S BALD".Who cares. Wear a hat if you are that bothered by it. Once the woman is hooked it won't matter.
Yes this is true. I’ve actually had the bald spot for at least 10 years (but maybe slightly smaller). But I compensated by growing my hair out and spiking up the front. That worked very well.It's been my experience that the strength of hair in front can more than make up for the bald spot.

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.
