"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.

Sure if 6 months at cosmetology school makes you a professional.
Well, let me enlighten you with the details of THIS particular stylist. She owns her own business and oversees a gambit of stylist.

Believe me, I'd look like one of those Aliens from close encounters of the third kind. Men with rounder heads can pull it off, but not me.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I've had girls who knew me when I had hair say I look better without it. A girl I went on a date with last week kept saying she loves my bald head. Really depends how well you wear it and how bad that hairline is. Shrug
 

"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.

I don't screen based on hair. I screen based on level of a$$hole.
Just to be clear, you mean the bigger the a$$hole, the more you like him, right? That's what PUA theory tells us. :)

My observation is that women prefer it if men have a whole head of hair. But it's not a dealbreaker. And some guys can pull off the shaved head look to good effect, especially if they're jacked.

Square. Diamond. Sometimes heart.

Anything angular and defined. The more fat on the face or rounded, the worse it will look.
So chubby faces look worse?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'd say 98% of women would prefer a full head of hair on their ideal man than a bald or shaved head if they had a choice, especially if he's Caucasian.

But, look at it from this perspective:

If you're balding and you shave your head, and a woman rejects you because of it, she is actually doing you a favor by not wasting your time. Shaving your hair bald in this case is a screening mechanism in a way. Women who reject you because of a bald head are the women you probably don't want to associate yourself with anyway.

Not my intention to contraddict you but Im sure many men would do the same to fat women and in some women only forum there would be a woman saying "if a guy rejects you cause you're fat he is a man you dont want to associate yourself with anyway".

Im sure plenty of us reject women cause they are fat yet it doesnt make us worse than others, just with different tastes.

The only diff there is, that hairloss is genetic, obesity not so much. Same thing when women reject a short guy, he can't do anything about his height, but if she's fat...she can at least do something about that.

You're absolutely right about it but are you sure that proves the point you wanna stress?

I believe you mean that the fat woman can decide if she wants to be fat or not while the bald guy cant.

At this point are we sure something we cant do anything about is less serious than something she can do something about? from a quality point she can fix herself while we cant...I have a receiding hairline so I know what Im talking about.

The fat woman could say to the short guy that she can fix herself therefore be "recovered" while he cant...I realize thats not a very sensitive point of view but when it comes of competition for mating sensitivity is the last thing existing.

Some women are genuinely big boned. They're never going to look like the cute little HB-whatevers no matter how much weight they lose. I know such a girl who got lap band surgery and lost a bunch of weight, she looked monstrous.

There's a difference between big-boned and fat/obese. Apples and oranges, and since we're talking about obesity here and not big-boned (large frame), we can focus on that.

Since we live in a country where there is a serious obesity epidemic, a lot of people fail to see it as a problem and refuse to do anything about it. Thus why see fat women still desiring a man with washboard abs and not dating their equal.

Being bald will definitely affect your success with women. I've experienced it first hand.

That's not to say that you can't still attract and lay women. If you're confident, dress well and stay in shape, you'll still have your share of romantic encounters, particularly as you get older. Just look at @Espi

I just shaved my head yesterday. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

Just like anything else, I think it's all about how you do it. I've never cared too much about hair, and always looked forward to shaving it, just to have less to take care of - so, there's no confidence loss there. I personally think it looks good on me, thus, subtly, my confidence will probably go up.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
