Anyone know a good cream to use to remove bags under eyes? Wondering if there's anything that can heal it (like, putting it on before you sleep) instead of just cover it up. Not getting enough sleep lately, and my bags are getting really bad.
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.
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.
Sounds like that would only help until your skin went back to normal temperature (which wouldnt take very long).Originally posted by MindOverMatter
Take a table spoon, and run cold water over it for like 2 mins. Close your eye, and place the now cold spoon right over your eye. This causes the blood cells in your eye bags to contract from cold. Repeat with 2nd eye.
Tried that, but the good effects didn't last for very long. Actually, I looked at my sleeping patterns for the past few weeks, and I've almost been getting 6-7 hours of sleep a day, so it's not that bad. Just that it's at strange hours, like sleeping at 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, and such. Anyone know whether it matters? I asked my derm a while back, and she didn't have a clue.. hahaTake a table spoon, and run cold water over it for like 2 mins. Close your eye, and place the now cold spoon right over your eye.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

as gross as this sounds , it actually works:
take a pea size drop of preperation h and rub it on the bag under your eye , then do the next eye. close your eyes and go straight to bed. in the morning wash your face.... the bags are now gone and it feels like you opened your eyes for the first time![]()
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.
