"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.

Hi:

Often, I've run across posts where people say that they have acne, tried everything, etc., or whatever.

In used to have relatively bad acne, but once I changed my diet from crap to only good food(no chocolate, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, etc.) my face began to improve.

HOWEVER, the NUMBER 1 answer for me was and still is flax seeds.

One can buy them at a supermarket for pocket change, and I bascially take a tablespoon and place them in my mouth. (It takes a while to break them down)

Therefore, EAT FLAX SEEDS, such as when you are idle(on the computer or watching tv, etc.

THEY WORK!

This is my tip of the day, out.
 

"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.

And why does this work?

Vitamin E, mainly, plus Omega 3s.

I believe they are the most abundant source of Omega 3 on the planet.

What about my lovely tuna?

Also, I heard the stomach has trouble breaking down the raw seeds and that it's not able to fully absorb the omega 3, so why not the oil?

Tuna has very little fat, equating to very little Omega 3. Make that VERY little. Just make sure to break down the seeds very well, or use a blender.
 

"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.

if you want Omega 3, just buy some capsules and take the stuff directly.

I take 4 omega 3-6-9 capsules per day and they seem to help alot (they also help with confidence by slightly boosting seratonin levels)

But the main thing that helped my acne was going to a tanning salon. I know everyone seems to say that tanning DOESN'T help acne, it just makes your pimples less noticeable because your skin tone is closer, but that's just not the case for me. I just went to a tanning salon yesterday with a few zits on my forehead, and they're all starting to disappear. My skin feels more soft with that natural oily texture, and not dry at all. I don't know why it is that people claim tanning doesn't help... maybe it helps for some people and not for others?

How about not eating fatty foods with grease(pizza, hamburger, french fries, exc)...and other things that cause acne to flair up.....

Everyone wants an easy way or a short way out....


Workin for me....

Insidious: what makes you think greasy foods cause acne?

As for tanning... it causes wrinkles man, it's good in youth, bad for later. I prefer to be as pale as possible... which is tough with my inflamed skin and tendency to walk outside in the sun...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
