"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hey guys,

I've been lifting for the past few months after a 2 month break, and I was thinking about starting up on some creatine to help the process. However, I just finished up a 6 month Accutane cycle in December, and I am scared I will start breaking out again. Has anyone out there with acne-prone skin used Creatine? How were your results (acne-wise and muscle-wise)? I might sound a little paranoid, but I have enjoyed an acne-free face for the past few months now and do not want to risk losing it for anything.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Creatine is not a steroid! It will not cause acne.

I used creatine when it was new to the general public back in highschool when my skin was quite acne prone and I use it now when I still have to take precautions to keep my acne in check. I have never had any problems with creatine causing acne. I have heard people who have felt that it did increase their acne but personally I have noticed no negative effects in regards to acne when using creatine.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There is no evidence to suggest creatine causes acne.. but among my lifting buddies we have noticed that dextrose commonly used with creatine does cause minor breakouts.

If you're still worried check out doxycycline hcl, its not as strong as accutane but has been working for me
