"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Weird question: My left sideburn is slightly more hairy than my right, how do I even?

I just turned 17 and I can grow sideburns relatively fast, but for some reason my left sideburn always seems to grow faster than my right, which is weird. Its not insanely noticeable unless you compare the two, but I'm wondering how I should go about evening them out? Should I shave my left sideburn and not my right one over the weekend and let my left one fill out or should I shave my right sideburn (knowing that the more you shave it the faster it grows back) over the weekend and hope it catches up with my left?
 

"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 used to have the same problem when I was 15 (that's when my sideburns started to grow).
It isn't really a noticeable difference. if it is very noticeable on you just shave both sideburns until you reach the point where they'll naturally get even. Or if you don't want to shave 'em off just trim the left side so it's even to your right one.
The more you shave it'll straight itself out.

Which side of your face do you sleep on?
 

"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.
