"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

ok so i tivo'ed an ellen re run with some beauty tips.
the woman who was giving them calls it secrets of the stars.
she said that if you have puffy eyes, its from not getting enough rest and you can lay down and put a slice of cucumber on the eyes to make the swelling stop.

if you have dark circles under your eyes, she said it was from toxins in your body. you can make it go away by putting slices of potatoes on your eyes and laying down for a little while.

so potato slices for dark circles and cucumber slices for puffiness.
Something tell me Ellen doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Dark circles can be caused by a number of things, from thinning of the skin under the eyes to chronic sinus problems. And of course, lack of sleep. Toxins my assh0le.
 

"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.

ellen had this lady on as her guest to give tips. the lady had written a book called secrets of the stars and gives beauty tips.
i havent tried the potato thing yet, but when i do, i will let you know if it at least worked.
if you read my earlier replies, you will see that i honestly thought it was something hereditary.

Well it is hereditary for some people. The thinning of the skin under the eyes is a genetic thing that some people are blessed with......nothing you do causes it, and there's nothing you can really do to treat it.

1) Could be you lack Iron. Eat more greens like broccolli or red meat or take a multivitamin

2) get more sleep

3) dark circles could also mean allergies. Rubbing your eyes make them puffy and dark.

4)dehydration. Drink more water.

^ multivitamins/iron, sleep, and hydration never helped me.

allergies I kinda doubt it. I barely even get them anymore, and I never rub my eyes.
 

"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.

I think it may just be genetic for me. I was chatting to my bro today and noticed he had dark circles under his eyes too, but they're not as big or visible as mine.
