"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

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.
