“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

The Inside Man
Master Don Juan
keep up with it man. I am trying to quit weed...people say its not addictive but its a different story if you do the high grade almost every day for years. You might want to try a 3 day permanent cleanser. That will help with the chemical withdrawals but the physiological effect will still be there, I think thats the hardest.
Nicotine is more addictive but we are both trying to quit smoking a plant that is having a negative effect on our health. I just ordered a 5 day permanent detox, hopefully this helps but its going to take a lot of willpower too. My dad started smoking cigs when he was 18 and hid it from my fam til we found him a few times. Hes 62 and still trying to quit, I don't know if he has or not yet.
Just think of the progress you're making though, and keep the momentum going. Slip ups are just that, dont get off the path.
I have some friends at OSU, and used to go to college in ohio. How do you like c-bus?

I'm stickying this for a little while, so we can hold you accountable.
Hang in there, rustler. I have been tobacco-free ONE YEAR this week, after burning them for almost 23 years.TheLadiesMan said:
My experience:
First week was TOTAL HELL. For me, the urge to automatically light-up was absolutely maddening. I ended-up relying heavily on nicotine gum, for the first three months. It helped. Now, I don't even think about cigarettes.
After six months, I realized I gained 65lbs. Not good. I strained and grunted at everything from picking objects up, to tying my own shoes. My waist went up four sizes. It sucked buying new(larger) clothes every month. Then- I made the investment......I bought myself a high-end($700) mountain bike. Getting myself to ride it regurlarly took TONS of willpower, from my lazy ass.
At eight months, I had a full physical exam done- to assess the damage weight-gain and prolonged tobacco use had brought. It was an eye opener. My lung capacity was so poor......I had extreme difficulty blowing-up a small balloon, and almost collapsed on the treadmill. Doc said to take 2000mg of vitamin C daily, eat more veggies and start exercising........or I would be dead by age 55. I took his advice.
Four months later- I can ride my bike to ascend a 10% grade for four miles, without rest. My post-smoking weight gain is completely GONE....and then some. My waist size is now 32 inches, and I now realize I have a set of ripped abs. Doc said keep up the balanced diet, exercise and supplements, and my body should heal like it never smoked......within five years.
I finally did the math on my spending, while addicted to tobacco. The money I spent on cancer sticks could have easily gone to my retirement nest-egg. I estimated I spent over $20k on systematically killing myself. If I invested that money in a moderate-risk, growth Mutual Fund.......I would now have almost $100k!
....well, it's never too late!
Kick The Butts......for good.

Yikes. I never have smoked and was never interested but just reading through these couple posts definitely made me not want to do it. Kinda like never having done drugs, and then watching Requiem for a Dream. After watching it you are way more against the idea of ever trying it.
Mad props on you guys who are quitting. Keep it up, you totally got this.

I feel you man. I quit on 11/20 and it's been rough but not as bad as I thought.
I'm completely focused on the health benefits I FEEL in my body. I don't feel like crap anymore. However, the hard part as been the slight depression I have to deal with from not getting that nicotine rush when I need it.
Just know that there are lung cancer patients in their 20's out there in most clinics in the U.S so you're doing a good thing. I've heard lung cancer is the most painful death you can imagine because your lungs fill up with fluid and they have to strap you down to a bed to keep you in place. It sucks.
But keep it up man. Choosing whether or not to smoke is the biggest health descision any of us will make in our lives.
