"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

When will you guys realize that LOOKS are almost all that matters!?

"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.

Men are rated pass/fail. Men who pass should work on their career before buying AquaNet.

Some women are turned off by a guy who uses product in his hair. There is a perception that guys should not spend time on their hair, that's a feminine thing. (Product isn't Aquanet, but same principle applies). They think men should wash their hair and go, and should be concerned with masculine things, not primping their hair in the mirror like a woman. Women are about beauty, men are about action.

On the other hand, some girls really like guys with product in their hair, especially the spiked look. So go figure.
 

"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.

When I had full hair, I got a lot of mileage out of either a messy gelled look or more often by spiking up the front (using gel or wax).

The stereotypical soap star Chad has the front of his hair spiked up. If a white dude has the hair to rock that look, it works well.

Haven't noticed this thread. but I'll throw my opinion in here.
Looks are not totally insignificant, but it's pointless to focus on it and let it hold us back. A good looking guy with good game will of course have a better chance than a not so good looking guy with the same level of game. However, a not so good looking guy with great game is miles ahead of a guy with similar looks but with bad or no game. It's not a whole lot we can do about our looks (without surgery, but fuck that), so even worrying about it is useless and that energy is better spent changing what can be changed regarding game.

I often use products to give a spiky sideways look, my hair is really flat without using it. I'm sure some women don't like it and I believe age is relevant here. I'm in my 20's and I don't think most women mind it then, but for men twice my age it can pretty easily look weird. If any woman doesn't like my hair because she has the opinion that it's a feminine thing, then she's probably a lot more philosophical than I'd prefer anyways. I can understand if some don't like it because they'd like to touch my hair without getting sticky, that's at least a pragmatic reason which is fair enough. I really don't care if someone thinks it's feminine, I simply cannot be swayed by social constructs like that.

My spiked hairstyle goes really well with my looks just like being bald goes well with a different type of looks. I don't think being bald would fit me and I know for sure many others would not fit my hairstyle.

Totally not true

Back before i had game when i had low self esteem etc i got ZERO girls

after developing myself for a while i was getting girls i would have NEVER thought i could get before.

It's mindest

"looks is all that matters" is an excuse that cowards use who don't want to look at themselves and realize what they need to work on.

Because it's easier to place blame and accountability than make an effort to change. I used to work with a girl who was very overweight and this was around the time that the body acceptance movement began. She embraced that of course but seemed to think that by doing that, men were expected to embrace it as well(?). Well when that didn't happen guess whose fault it was? Not hers of course :/.
 

"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.

If I went to see Pamela Anderson at a comic-con like i nearly did, I figured if I was more attractive, there would be much more physical touching in the picture than the coy smile that would result. :p
Putting aside the women subject, it's tough out there. The hardest thing I have learned is that I am merely a drone and recepticle. 10+ years being bullied, teased and picked on, now I am asked to put something back into society by working and have random strangers asking me for change. What's going on?
