"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.

Does anyone here wear Braces?

Just wondering if anyone here wear Braces?

Is it worth the time and money to wear braces ($5000 for 20 months) to get perfect teeth?
 

"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.

braces are worth it...i spent $3500 for mine. They are the regular metal ones. Just make sure when you get em' off and start wearing retainers, that you dont lose them when you take them out to eat...lost mine and it cost me $200 and my teeth went a little crooked...3 years of having braces and still ending up with not so perfect teeth sucks...

Unfotunately the dentist told me Invisalign wouldn't be an option for me. I'd have to get the regular braces (top and bottom).

The whole process would take about a year and a half, but in the end i'd have perfect teeth. I'm 24 and it would SUCK having braces on. I'd like to have perfect teeth, but i'm not sure if it's worth it or not.

Any advice?
 

"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.

yeah but dont you have to wear retainers afterwards? Your teeth shift because they are still weak in their new positions... I had my braces on for about 3 1/2 years and going to have a retainer on for 2 more years. :rolleyes:

Definitely worth it. I am 30 now, but had braces for 5 years when I was aged 12 to 17. I had a SEVERE overbite and had to wear headgear to make my lower jaw catch up in growth to my upper jaw.

In Conclusion, if I NEVER had braces...I would be about a 3 or 4 on the looks scale instead of the "7" I see myself today. Without braces, I would be called "bucky", would have low self esteem and would of never hooked up with any attractive women.

I know your situation was probably not as bad as mine, but TEETH and your Dental occlusion are VERY IMPORTANT in looks and facial aesthetics. I would do it over in a heartbeat, Orthdontics saved my life!!

My teeth were pretty bad two years ago.

I can't believe I managed to pull the quality of women I did with a fukked up grill.

I guess they weren't THAT bad, as in they weren't rotten and discolored or anything, but it was bad enough that I tried to cover it up by avoiding smiling.

Do it....you won't regret it, trust me.
