"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.

Thanks to my not-so-perfect genes (moms side) I have had a horrible acne problem ever sense I hit puberty. I grew out of the stage where I would get depressed over it. I used to get made fun of a lot for it during Jr. High, but then in high school it just kind of stopped. Probably because it was a more common thing. But that was also when I began to step up for myself, and not care what people think.

Although I don't let it get me down, I still wish I didn't have this problem. I have had tried a lot of different face medicines. And I had a doctor personally describe me something. %10 bh(?) I believe. Which helped for a little awhile but I still have acne. It bugs me. I woke up this morning and I found like the most white heads I had ever woken up to. Like 6 or 7. Mostly around my chin. (That is like my breakout area.) And I hate it. I wish there was something I could do.

Does anyone else have this problem and/or have any advice?
 

"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.

Accutane is by far the BEST acne medication EVER.

I went from horrible INSANELY severe acne (so bad my doctor INSISTED I get into a dermatologist) and now I'm basically clean. I still get some on my back, and the occasional small ones on my face. I didn't even do the full accutane treatment.

wash yur face with cetaphil soap (preferable the lather liquid one), and apply a bit of differin gel nightly...that should do the trick. Accutane is mostly for people who have the really serious acne.

Yes that is by far the best option...it's a pill everyday (depending on what your dermotologist puts you on...could be up to 3 possibly more but i doubt) for about 5 months...and you have to go in every month to draw blood...takes all of a few minutes. Accutane is wonderful, what it does...it shrinks your oil glands wayyyy down, and thus having no break outs when you are on it. If you don't do the full duration...there is a likely chance it will come back.

creams i've taken in order were Different > Retin A > and some other cream that i can't remember.
and the pills i took helped keep flare ups away and to help decrease scaring

Personally i've taken it...and recently just started my 3rd dose. I had bad acne...and tried everything on the scale of creams and pills and nothing worked. I was acne free while on the meds but it came back afterwords...because i didn't do it EVERY single day and stopped before the duration was done. So i went on it a second time and it stepped my breakouts way way way down but i still got them...and now i'm on my 3rd not half assing anything and i'm sure it'll go away.

Side effects can suck though but you get used to it. such as really bad dryness...mostly to your lips...gonna end up carrying lipbalm everywhere. and for me it was a little harder to see in teh dark...and unfortunately that carried over and i still can't see totally good in the dark but...i need glasses to drive at night anyways...

and that's that.

and i have no trouble getting hot girls at the age of 20 with minimal acne right now.

"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.

Yea take Accutane man. Do it immediately, nobody should have to live with acne. its a confidence destroyer, and even if u r confient girls r turned off. Cute girls at least. Just do it right, dont drink while on it, no more than 1 or 2 if u do. Dont take more than ur suppsoed to, dont miss doses, and make sure u get enuff sleep cuz it makes u grouchy as sh*t. At least for me it did. But it is amazing, it works like a charm.

yeah acne is god's sick joke on humanity.

Go ahead and look into accutane, but know that it can be dangerous if you don't get a blood check every month. And most people who take accutane report having decreased vision in the dark. And I don't know what the long-term side effects are.

Plus, it'll make your skin really really dry when you're using it. But from what I've heard, it seems worth it for people with really bad acne. Exhaust all other options first, though.
