"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.

I've got an approach journal some of you may have seen. here's me.
ignore the frown.

If anyone here can, I'd like advice on what hairstyle I should get. I've never done anything but a buzzcut, but now I'm going to try something new. Should I do a mohawk, fohawk, let it get super long, or something else? Or, is it good the way it is?

Any tips on my look would help
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If you're lazy & can't be arsed experimenting, go to a high-end hair studio for men and pay them the bucks to design you a style. It costs about $180 where I live.

I agree. Don't get an obnoxious douche bag haircut just to attract attention to yourself. Instead, go to a quality stylist to cut your hair. I'd rather get a good haircut from a flaming homo than get whacked in the head with clippers by a bored fat b!tch at Supercuts. My own stylist of the past 7 years happens to be a very attractive woman, but I have her cut my hair because she is good at what she does. That's what is important.

My stylist is manly and very vain. He used to be a bodybuilder, now he's got a wife and kid and his own place. Nice guy does a great job without being a flaming homo.

Your haircut is boring. Do something, and stop looking like you're going to rape someone. Chill out and smile for the picture a little bit.

"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.

Other than encourage you to get that v-shape torso, here's the deal.

Get a haircut where a part of your scalp is either faded or tapered. Whether you get a mohawk thing (careful not to overdo it) or a "hiphop-style" fade or a brad pitt do' lol, it's got to be maintained on a regular basis.

Let your facial grow a lil'...keep us updated!

You can try not shaving, but trimmming the beard super-short. Try stuff out man! Aim for something that makes you look more masculine, while at the same time still clean and not shabby.

Dunno if that works with your face, but you must experiment! Have a different style every month!

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I've decided to take Don Israel's advice. I will let all my hair grow and see what I can do with it from there

I'll post an updated pic when it happens.

I have a round chubby face, which makes me look fat even though I am 5'11 155 pounds. If I took a pic of just my face straightfoward in the light with my cell phone cam, you'd all swear I was a fat mexican. Yet, my stomach is flat and I nearly have abs...my genetics blow big time.

I can already tell that the light beard im growing is giving my face a more elongated look, which is good. Can't believe I didn't try this before...definitely going to let everything grow out
