"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

"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.

considering you live in floride, just go outside. Take the time it normally takes you to start to burn, and subtract 5 and just do that everyday. After a few weeks of this, I was nice and golden with no sunburn at all.

Or, you could do tanning booth, but the sun is free.

oh man...these sunscreen companies really got to you. stop being so paranoid about sun, its only harmful if you burn yourself too often. be smart about it and you wont get any damn cancer. 10-15 minutes of sun a day will get you tanned plus it helps keep the overall health up.

If you don't do it safetly you will get cancer. I did, the worst kind, melanoma. Luckily I caught it before it spread.

But just do it in moderation, get a healthy glow, and you'll be fine!

I'm one of those guys who freckles instead of tanning evenly, is there anything I can do to get around this?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I was also wondering if anyone knew if freckles faded and went away after awhile, like lets say you got no sun whatsoever for a year, would they go away, or is every freckle permanant, and is there a way to tan a little bit and not get/limit freckles, any adive on freckles would be appreciated actually since I have a lot.

Sunscreens are overrated. To prevent sun damage and skin cancer, just make sure you expose your skin gradually and don't overdo it. The best thing to do is to just develop a tan naturally, while you're out playing sports or hanging out. Try to avoid suntanning between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. although this is probably impossible for physically active individuals. As long as you don't try to look like a lobster, you will eventually develop a nice tan. It will take time. People with very light skin and freckles, however, should probably not try to tan since their skin is more sensitive. The important thing, no matter how light or tanned you are, is to develop healthy habits, such as a good diet and a good skin care program in order to keep your skin healthy. To give your skin a rest while you're out in the sun, you can also wear a hat and protective clothing. I used to use sunscreens, but some of them were more trouble than they were worth. They would generally protect my skin but some of them would make my skin oily or I would have to reapply them. As long as I don't overdo it, my skin can take it without the burden of a sunscreen. Plus I've read that some sunscreen ingredients are estrogenic and, thus, harmful. The European Community has banned six comon ingredients in sunscreens, but they're still used in the US. You can probably do a google search to find out what these ingredients are if you want.
