"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.

Everytime I eat 500g cottage cheese, I wake up the day after with acne on my forehead/throat/chest. I don't do it for a week: no acne. Anything other food is kept the same. So yes dairy gives acne, maybe not to you, but if you got acne, do the test.
 

"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.

While milk probably does cause acne, I still barely get any because I keep my face extremely clean. I use wash twice a day (mourning and night), acne medication at night, and just rinse it off a few more times a day. Since I drink a decent amount of milk, if I slack off for a few days from my routine acne starts to appear, but as long as I follow it I stay pretty much acne free.

I used to drink litteraly 1-2 litres of milk a day (trying to put on weight) and I developed really bad acne. Then when i started frequenting the H&F forum and read alot of stuff about milk I decided to go cold turkey. My acne improved somewhat but didn't clear it up and i still have moderate acne today. (still only 16)

Since i started taking a multi-vitamin (2 weeks ago) i've noticed my face got quite a bit clearer. I've noticed that not a lot of over-the-counter things are very effective for my acne (tried litterally everything) and I think that my acne is mostly diet-induced.

So my question: should I cut all bread out of my diet. And also I eat at Subway ALOT, so would getting wraps/salads be beneficial to my acne as opposed to getting wholewheat bread?

Please just read the link I posted, it will clear your acne for sure! I tried everything from Lazar to antibiotics and this is the only thing that works. It has for all my friends.

Also try eliminating wheat as you may be allergic.
 

"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.

I'm taking doxycycline and dairy products will cause the stomach to not absorb the hormones in the pills as effectively. Thats all i know.

I stopped getting outbreaks since i've been on the doxycycline but before i use to drink milk on a daily basis.

It may or it may not, its not a universal fact yet so i'm skeptical. I haven't drank milk in over a week.

Milk contains a lot of calcium but in a form that is most difficult for humans to absorb. As a result, the calcium passes right through your system and is excreted as waste.

Only in raw milk is the calcium easily absorbable. Raw milk, however, is just about impossible to obtain, as most states have out-lawed the sale of raw milk.

The enzyme “phosphatase”, found in raw milk is what makes calcium easily absorbable. Unfortunately “phosphatase” is completely destroyed during the pasteurization process.

Thousands of blood tests have shown that those who drink 3 to 4 glasses of milk a day, have the lowest levels of blood calcium. This is bad news for those concerned with bone health and who thought milk was an easy solution to this problem.

Actually, the best source of calcium for humans is in the fruits and vegetables that you eat.
