Just want to know how real men deal with their physical/mental discomfort/illness?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Do real men go to doctors?

Hardly ever went to the doctor, hadn't seen one in a decade until I started developing panic and anxiety attacks. Got blood work done, every thing was fine. Try to prescribe me some medications which I never used. I turned to meditation which has cut my anxiety down by half in only 2 1/2 months. I still have bouts here and there, but I am much better. Before I could barely leave the house
What the F?
"Real men" are also people. Denying myself of a normal healthy living just because it means I'm "less of a man" is just beta.
I'm 21, I have a chronic skin condition, a lower disc hernia, testicular varicocele, neurogenic bladder and irritable bowel syndrome (which is suspected to be chron's disease), suspected arthritis, Temporomandibular Joint disorder (my jaw is f**ked up due to crossbite), damaged meniscus articularis and some other things I forgot.
I went through the following:
-X-ray on most major parts of my body
-CT of my lower back and legs
-MRI of my lower back
-Nuclear medicine whole-body bone scan (Bone scintigraphy)
-Sigmoidoscopy
-Colonoscopy
-Uroflowmetry
-Urodynamics
-Ultrasound of many organs
-Every possible blood, urine and stool sample test
Even after this, I don't consider myself as less of a man.
I'm awesome, I'm super manly and even though my ex knew about all these illnesses she didn't care because I never whined except when I was really in pain.

"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.

If it's something I don't think my body will heal naturally and perfectly from i'll go see a doctor. In the past maybe 20 years i've seen one once and not to get into any details but there was blood loss lol. I do want to see one now though, at 40 it really does feel like the warranty expired and I want to get checked out and see an allergist and stuff mostly to ask some questions.
Before 40 no doctors necessary...
After 40 i'd say it's time to man up and start getting checked out regularly.

I try to avoid it at all costs but sometimes you just have to. Got bit by a cat back in 2009 and my hand swelled up like a balloon. I pondered over going to DR for 3 days, finally did. Dr said it was one of the worst cases of cellulitus he had seen and another day or two it would have been past the point of no return and I would have lost 90% of the movement in my hand for the rest of my life.
Sense then my tune on doctors has been a little more lax.

Screw doctors. I puree lizards and various other reptiles in a Ninja blender every morning at 5:45 am so I can regenerate myself like a green boss in the event of anything.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
