"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Acne on the back of my neck!

"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.

How old are you? Could just be a puberty thing (I got some good/bad acne back in the day).

Otherwise I usually use Neutrogena face astringent (it's an alcohol-based liquid that's blue and comes in a clear bottle). It's like $4 at walmart or walgreens or wherever - just get some cotton balls/pads, put some on there, and rub it one before you go to bed.

I think 20 rep squats cure most ailments.


KIDDING!


Have you tried witch hazel? My friend swears by it.

Don't scrub, that can irritate it and make it worse.
 

"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.

Benzoyl Peroxide 5%. Rub it in lightly(very lightly) and let it sit for a minute before cleaning it off. Use a moisturizer on it too. It could be an allergic reaction to the collar of something you have?

1. Wash it only twice a day, morning and night. Any more irritates the skin and takes away oils it needs to recover.

2. Use a Benzoyl Peroxide 5% product 1-2 times a day.

3. Moisturize immediately after using the cleanser.

4. Don't touch it, don't pick at it, and for gods sake don't scratch it. This is where self-discipline comes in.

5. Take zinc & magnesium supplements. Only 50mg of zinc a day. The magnesium is needed to absorb/synthesize the zinc to make it useable by your body. Zinc essentially helps your body control the production of 'sebum', which when overproduced causes acne.

It's that easy. Try it for 2 weeks. Acne can take acouple weeks to form, so you might not see results for that long.

Hope I could help.

try a homoeopath, it seems to be working for me atm
 

"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.

Depending on how you get your haircut, some barbers aren't cleaning their clippers.

Some of the black males I know have them, but a few white guys get them as well.

Also, avoid using razors on your next. This could be a sign telling you something.
