"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Any dental experts?

Yesterday went to a new dentist for my cleaning. Due to covid I am overdue by about a year... anyway not having any issues. The hygienist comes out and takes me in. She starts by doing my gum measuring... then during the cleaning nearly drowns me with the water pik. I volunteered to hold the suction thing and suck the water out of my mouth. She gets done my cleaning and says I have recession on my back gums and one measures 5mm. She said it was periodontal disease but it appears to be non active because the recession is still rounded and there is no disconnect from the tooth. She said if there was a disconnect or if my gums appeared inflamed I would get a deep cleaning. I had no clue what she was talking about...my last visit they said I had recession and to take it easy brushing.

at the end of the the dentist comes in.. looks at my X-rays and examined my mouth and said everything looked good.., see you in July. I got home and googled periodontal disease and said wth!!?? It’s pretty serious... but I’ve never had any issues... never even had the symptoms of gingivitis. Does this sound like gum disease... I looked at pictures on line and even in stage 1 the gums look nasty... I’ve literally had these same spots of regression for as long as I remember.
 

"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.

Should have asked the dentist for a another measurement and his opinion. I wouldn’t take a hygienist's opinion seriously. If it is periodontal, you will need a below gum exam and cleaning by a specialist asap.
If you let that issue slide, you could eventually lose teeth and bone.
Tooth implants and bone grafts are now common, but that work is very pricey vs taking care of what you’ve got.
Not a dental expert, but familiar with that issue…

A Hygienist job is to scale and clean only.
Inflammation and gum bleeding is usually caused by a build up of plaque.
Gums will recede with age or can be advanced with hard brushing.
Any thing more seriously progressive is determined by the Dentist as he/she is the one trained to make that assessment.
