"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.

Any brand of concealer for men that you guys would recommend? First-timer here so I did some research online and there's actually quite a few..so far I like war paint, stryx, and woak skin.

I don't want to spend a lot of money, and want a "manly" looking product. Just something simple to cover dark spots or when i get a pimple. Leaning towards Woak, but would like to hear recommendations if anyone has tried any brands. Thanks!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Are you from Asia by chance? Generally guys don't use that stuff other than certain parts of Asia(aka Korea).

lol no, I'm not from asia. I'm as white as they come. Not sure why you think that? All these companies are western and marketing to non-asians.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I imagine "for men" concealers are the same concealers women use, just branded for men to appear more "manly." No amount of branding can make female cosmetics a masculine thing, however.

Korean "K-pop" men are the poster children for extremely effeminate, gender-fluid men. They often wear makeup. Hence the assumption.

I have dark spots, scars, lines, some red splotches on my face. I'm considered handsome by some women. It's not a big deal for us. I wouldn't worry about it. You're much less attractive to women being effeminate and vain than being rugged and masculine with some physical flaws. Just have a basic skincare routine. Wash and moisturize with SPF. That'll do.

Even if you bypass the socio-culture conditioning of manliness and "guys don't wear makeup", I'd say most of the cosmetics are harmful for the skin, including concealers.

Blocking pores, react with the skin etc.

If you're using it to strengthen your insecurities, find a resolution to the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Like eat healthy for healthy skin. Your skin completely renews by 3 months. And it comprises entirely of your nutrition.

I just go for plain old facewash, hair oil, skin moisturization.
