"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.

Alright so here's the deal. I got hired a couple days ago at a grocery store and I start next week. But I have to get a haircut or they won't hire me. The rule is that hair can't be longer than the bottom of the ear on the sides and well, mine is. So here are few pictures of how my hair has looked in the past year. I like it best now, so I was thinking of maybe just getting a shorter version of what I have, but I want your input about what you think looks best to suit my face type. You don't need to choose one of these, but if you don't please be specific and provide a picture if possible. On to the pictures:

April 2005 (This is how it looks now)
 

"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.

Where do you live? The hair rule is rather ridiculous if you ask me. What is the big deal with a male having long hair?

I live near Seattle, WA. Yea the hair rule really sucks, but I also really need the job. Sometimes you've just gotta give in. I shouldn't have to get it cut more than about 3/4 of an inch so it's not too big of a deal. I guess they think it looks more professional if you have short hair but I think it's a bunch of bull.

MARCH 2004 is the haircut you should have

your current hairstyle looks "sloppy" or juvenile, they want you to look more like "gentleman" not a skate boarder.

you have a longer face so the long hair works, no offence but you look like a geek in the other pics, except the second so go with that if you have to cut it. In your latest you look mroe layed back and relaxed
 

"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.

Dude, I'd get a haircut to keep my job as a doctor or something. Getting a haircut for working a minimum-wage job is a little drastic if you ask me. You should try applying somewhere else.

Even better than a haircut:

Start working out man, you're skinny as hell.

Oh yeah, the haircut...

It grew out at about the same length in every place. This is what makes it look geeky.

First, the parts of hair on the side of your head are sticking 0utwards (wtf, ******ds is censored?). That's a female hairstyle.
Second, the pony over the top of your head is probably a good idea, considering the length of your face. However, if you can get rid of it, do so.
Last, try looking online for some hairstyles that you like, then print them and go to the hairdresser and ask if they can do that to you. (Beware! Your face is long, so you need to keep that in the back of your head. A long face is not a bad thing, it's just something you have and have to work with)

"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.

It's better long.

The problem is the way you hair is right now, It's messy and strange. Comb it, do something with it.

Have it "cut" in another way.

Alright thanks for the input guys. I'm probably going to get about the same style, but a little shorter. I-am-someone, you were talking about it growing out at the same length and it sticking ******ds on the sides. Well how should it be? Like where should it be shorter and how much compared to the rest? And if you guys have any good hairstyles for people with "long" faces please tell me about them. Thanks again.

Cut it so that it's layered. That way you can keep long hair. Plus it'll go with your head shape.

Is your hair red? It's hard to tell...

Ok I don't really know about this layering stuff, so if I just go into the barbershop and tell them that I want it layered will they know what to do? I go to a relatively upscale barbershop rather than a hairstylist and I'm not going to change that anytime soon as my dad is good friends with the owner. Also how long should my bangs be? I like them down to my eyebrows better than really short like in the other pictures and I think it looks retarded if they're in between. Yea my hair's kind of a strawberry blondish color. It looks blond when it's short and red when it's long.
 

"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.

Alright I've decided to keep longer instead of shorter. I tried to get my hair to look like I sort of want it and I wanted to know what you thought about it?

Hair

Obviously it won't be as messy as in the picture and the white blotch is blocking out hair so you can sort of tell what it will look like when cut. That's just the general idea that I was thinking of. It can still be changed as I'm not getting it cut until Monday/Tuesday. PLEASE give suggestions and tell me about this layering stuff. Thanks.
