"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

What do you prefer when going out? What gets you the best results. I don't like shaving but feel kind of grimy with too much stubble. I like the look when I use the beard trimmer with no guard on which leaves a slight stubble like in this pic I just snapped with photo booth lol. You can see a hint of stache and beard.

Is this kind of douchey looking? I really prefer not shaving totally clean unless I'm going out for a special occasion etc. I think slight stubble looks better on guys in their 20's and clean shaven when your 30+ What do u think?
 

"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.

Stubble is generally a plus for picking up ladies. But it doesn't mean completely unshaven. You still should shave your neck and under you chin. The stubble should cover your beard area only.

It's great for any guy who isn't greying yet. Once that starts, shave it clean.

As long as your neck is always clean then it doesn't matter. Nobody likes a neckbeard, that's for sure.

I always like having a stubble, but on the flipside, I always think I've made the right choice immediately after I shave. It just looks fresh.

And I 2nd the neck thing. No neck beard.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Mix it up. Be unpredictable. Carlos Xuma endorses the idea of changing your look periodically.

Damn we have been on here about the same amount of time and I am digging a lot of your $hit man!! Guess us being around same age is why I get just about everything you post.

I digress.. I do exactly as Bigneil said!

Stubble. Dates go NOTICEABLY better with stubble. One time shaved and wore glasses to a date and IL dropped off the map lol.
No $hit?? I never wear my glasses on first date and I always shave, but I will give stubble a shot on my next date JUST to see if your mileage is same as mine.. Interesting indeed.

Yeah I get best response (I think) with a slight stubble and shaved neck. But like no more than 2-3 days growth. That seems the ideal. Many of the guys who rock stubble are more at a week's length (the 1st guard) on the trimmer, whereas I do no guard.

Most women, if asked though, seem to prefer clean shaven.
