"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
