"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I am currently in the phase of slicking my hair (which is quite verdant in the front) back to cover the wide apex bald spot. It seems like it would be waste to simply go to a complete bald look, especially since it would be totally OVER for me, with my other attractiveness issues. :mad:
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

It's a no-no.

Shave your head completely bold and own it. That's what I do.

"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.

Is that Michel Thomas, the great language teacher, on the right? There were rumours he wore hair, but you couldn't usually tell. Unfortunately the hairline is a dead giveaway in that pic. He was a superb language teacher, though, hair issues aside.

"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.

I thought it was him, having had some of his CD courses, I recognised him even with his eyes disguised.

These days there are much more advanced, affordable hair systems which, if done right, are virtually undetectable, however that wasn't the case so much in the past, hence the 'terrible syrup' jokes.

That said, the Sean Connery pic was a hairpiece, and that was in the 1960s, so maybe the TV studios had the tech to make them look realistic even back then, but only the rich could afford that level of realism. Everyone else who wore hair had to be a laughing stock.
