"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.

Ive noticed that over the last month my upper back area has accumulated a lot of acne. How the hell did this happen and how do I get rid of it?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I love how everything on this board revolves around working out to some people. You have acne....of course it's because you're on steroids. :rolleyes:

If you have started working out recently, it could be because of the sweat. Wash the sweat off as soon as possible and wear a workout shirt that absorbs moisture.

But most of all, try using a body wash with (2%) salycilic acid once, preferably twice a day. I use the Neutrogena Body Clear wash, the kind with the 'beads' in it, and that took care of my back acne problem. Be sure to also take enough vitamins and drink enough water.

And no, tanning for acne is only a myth. It may make the acne look better at first just because the skin itself is darker, but tanning in fact makes acne worse, not better, and no matter what anybody says, it only has negative health effects on your skin.

Please post in the right section. Also, try searching all titles for "acne" as this has been beaten to death; thanks.
