"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.
11 warning signs that she may have herpes.

"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.

i was more of an advocate speaking out about it, a few years ago when i caught it , and there are some threads in health and fitness that are all merged together. i have had it for a little over 5 years.MDgood said:
most people start a thread when they see a little bump on them that turns out to be nothing.
when i got it, i was so sick, that i honestly thought i had some severe flu, until the outbreak came, and then immediately i went to the std clinic.
the outbreak did not start off by itching, it was massive hard bumps that ached so bad under the skin.
i thought i was dying...
"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.

Genital herpes may be caused by either HSV 1 or HSV 2. Meaning if you get cold sores on your mouth and you go down on a chick, she will get genital herpes and it will be HSV-1. It works the other way too, if she blows you and she has cold sores on her mouth (which many if not most people do) you can get sores down there.
From some STD research I've done (as I have cold sore outbreaks on my mouth and I was worried about spreading it) it seems that if you get HSV-1 cold sores on your mouth you may be much more resistant, if not immune, to HSV-2 which causes genital herpes, and pretty much 100% immunte to genital herpes caused by HSV-1 (which represents only a small percentage of genital herpes in the USA but nearly half if not more than half of genital herpes in the UK).
This is because you can only get infected with a certain strain once, and it is very rare for a strain you already have to infect another part of the body (very rare, though not unheard of).
Still, its not a good idea to do anyone dirty. And I am not a doctor so feel free to verify this information elsewhere.

It seems like you would be far less prone.

i am a womandot said:
and no you can not always see the signs
if she caught herpes yesterday, she may not show signs for two weeks.
some say they never showed signs...
therefore professionals say you do not have to have a cold sore present to pass the herpes virus.

the initial outbreak just lets you know when you caught the herpes and is kinda like chicken pox.
after that you can have break outs due to your health stress and what you eat.
think of it like chicken pox (same family and closest thing i can compare)
you catch it and dont know you have it and are contagious.
in one to two weeks, you have inflamed lymph nodes and a fever and hard bumps that are on your body coming out making these big pimple things that are filled with puss, if they pop they can spread to create more.
once they dry up ...
due to health conditions, stress and diet, it can reoccur just like chicken pox can lead to shingle outbreaks.
the only difference is..
chicken pox stops being contagious when you break out, where as herpes is the gift that keeps giving forever.
i honestly do not believe people who say they never knew, i think they lie.
but i can not prove it so i keep my mouth shut, however because so many say they did not have signs of it and their partners get it anyhow... they tell you that you can get it without an outbreak (coldsores) present.
so many people have not passed theirs to their loved ones because they do not have skin contact during an outbreak. seems to work for them..
BE WEARY OF EVERYONE WITH OR WITHOUT A COLDSORE ANYHOW.

Goddamn you people need some critical thinking and statistics classes. I swear you just make numbers up or have the right numbers while ignoring the rest.
Just making a number up... say there's a 5% failure rate of condoms. That's for EVERY BLOODY FREAKIN MORON USING THEM. If you're stupid, that failure rate is higher. If you're smart, that rate is lower. If you have sex only sober it's different. So that pretty much means all these rates that people probably just make up anyway don't even mean crap. Saying a statistic and leaving out how that statistic came about and what information it was based on you might as well just say "i like monkeys" because that's just as useful information.
"your chance is 50% plus or minus 40%" is useless!!

hmmm...some might be ingrown hairs. i have a single bump, i dont think its herpes cause it doesnt look like it would be.penkitten said:

Master Don Juan
do you have a fever?oakraiderz2 said:
do you have swollen lymph nodes?
did the bump begin as a hard knot under the skin, that rose up, and now looks like a single chicken pox?
does is ache in horrible pain?
if you answered no to all of those, i bet it is just an ingrown hair or boil.
which every one gets at one point or another.
"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.
My friend dated a girl with it for a while. They had safe sex and he was fine.
It isn't the end of the world, but it does make sleeping around a tough thing to do I'm sure. If I had it I wouldn't want to spread it, and **** like this would keep me from having ONS because I wouldn't want to spread it.
This is why aspiring to be the worlds best PUA isn't without potential consequences. I no longer want to bang every girl out there, because I am in a great LTR (I still like looking alot), but everyone should remember the consequences.
Sometimes I am surprised there isn't a little Ricky running around out there.

ever see a valtrex commercial?dot said:
they say in the commercial that 70 % of people say they caught it from a partner who showed no signs of having herpes.
i tend to think a lot of people lie and that they did know they had it before, but they lied to save face... and i tend to think that a lot of people catch it and then spread it before they have their first out break and do it unknowingly...
regardless, that is why they say you can catch it even if there are no outbreaks present (cold sores)
