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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.

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.

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![]()
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.
