"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I recently went to my dermatoligist, he siad the meds I were one weren't working well enough, so he put me on an anti biotic in pill form, I've heard these things have some serious side effects, anyone got anymore info on these?
 

"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.

I doubt that antibiotics have serious side effects, you are probably thinking of accutane, which can cause serious side effects (such as birth defects if pregnancy occurs while using the drug), but most of these side effects (such as suicide) are overblown bs.

I take antibiotics (tetracyclin derivitive - minocyclin) and they work great. I was recently having moderate break outs and the antibiotics and topical stuff wipped it out in 3 weeks. The only real side effect I've noticed is dehydration and chapped lips.

Accutane is the one with all the side effects and should only be taken as a last resort if you're acne is really really bad.

Pantothenic acid - Vitamin B5 is very effective for some. Be sure to increase the dose above what is recommended though to get a better effect. How much higher? You will have to find your best level. Gradually build up.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I just got put on minocycline (pill) and differin gel. My sister used to take differin gel and it worked well for her, so hopefully it will help me too. I don't have serious acne... almost always less than 10 zits on my face, but it is still annoying.
