"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Isn't it amazing how this time of year in cold climates, you can get both dry skin and zits?

The zits I attribute to working out.

How much is that Retin-A? It sounds like it works. Do you need a prescription for that?

Holy Cow that stuff is expensive, at least according to a website I saw. And it looks like you need a prescription.

"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.

Oh, I saw a price closer to $100. I need to look around a bit more!

Is it a prescription or can you get it over the counter?

yes its prescription, it was my brothers. it didnt take four weeks to work for me. it took about two days. and yes i use cetaphil. and that works good but it makes your skin all greasy feeling and after a day of sweating any it comes off. and the retin a i used was expired by three years. maybe thats why it worked so good. my advice about it. if you have alot of zits you can get rid of them really fast it you use alot of that stuff. but be ready to put a hella lot of moisturizing cream ie cetaphil for about two weeks.

You are so gonna fvck sh!t up by using expired products. Prepare yourself for some holes in your skin soon. If you die, I'll nominate you for that Darwin Award.
Seriously, though, you shouldn't be using expired products... There is a reason they put an expiry date on them. Especially if it's a prescribed product. The dryness of your skin might be coming from that, and not the natural response. I'd recommend consulting a dermatologist before you mess up seriously.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Dermatologists perscribed certain products for certain skin types for a reason. Retin-A is not for you if you are having a reaction to it. Go see a dermatologist if you are really interested in clearing up your skin.

the stuff makes your skin dry. thats just what it does. the one who it was prescribed to. it made his skin dry to. and my face did not get all red. what actually happened was all the zits are gone now and i dont have to use that much lotion. i know they have expiration dates for a reson but it hasnt done anything bad for me.

I agree with whoever said you should all see a dermatologist. They will prescribe different things depending on their observations of your skin. Mine gave me a simple pain-free antibiotic that has drastically changed my face. Everything else out there is essentially phony so stop wasting time.

one thing that i found that works is to put neosporin on the zit after you pop it and it doesnt come back. It will more than likely help w/ the peeling too.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Neosporin is very good. I wish it was a bit cheaper though. When you got lots of them, it costs a bit.

I'm going to look into Retin-A and then Eucerin.

Thanks for the suggestions
