"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.

Talking about health and fitness, I have a question for you guys. How many of you care for your skin? How many are using facial cream or lotion regularly? If you do, what type?

If you don't, why? Do you feel it unmaly to do so? Or are you embarrassed if people find out? Or you don't care?

Views and comments and share of experience will be appreciated.
 

"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.

I lucked out in the skin department. Never had to worry about acne or zits. To maintain decent skin i use a products from a company called "Biotherm". Its designed for men, its pretty light and smells good. I have a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer. I usually use the Cleanser/Efoliate than moisturize before bed. Usually just wash my face with water when i wake up

shower gel, hot water, flanel.

Anything else is a waste of time which could be better spent engaging in manly activitys like rawl plugging and changing car oil. :p

"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.

Guys. Don't be afraid to use products for your face. I'm 36 and for the last year I have FINALLY started using skin care products. Let me tell you, Don't wait till your my age to start caring about your skin!

I'm not the richest guy in the world, but a quick trip to Target can set you up.

Eucerin Everyday Protection face lotion. - Use this every day when you are going to be outdoors. It's SPF 30 and it works good and it's light and not greasy.

Eucerin Everyday Protection body lotion - Use on the arms and legs. It's SPF 15 and real lightweight, but leaves the skin nice and soft. Plus you don't want to be around women with dry skin. Women notice things like that. Just like the condition of your shoes. Plus when you get my age you won't start getting age spots on your arms , or not as bad, like I'm getting. :(

Neutrogena or Pears soap - You know the orange transparent bar. You don't need any fancy cleansers unless prescribed by a doctor or dermatologist. Got that advice straight from a dermatologist. Use warm water and a wash cloth. The key is to be gentle! Don't scrub your face like you scrub your ass crack! I usually wash me face in the shower after I've been in there a few minutes. Gives a chance for those pores to open up.

Then once you get out of the shower you HAVE to moisturize! That soap just stripped those oils and dirt from your skin. So now you got to put some good stuff back.

Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Serum - $8 bucks

Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Moisturizer - $5 bucks

The Boots stuff you can get at Target.

This is a 2 step process. First the serum, then the moisturizer on top of the serum. Gently rub both products completely in. And use just enough to cover your grill. Don't over do it!

For about 20-25 buck you can have a good looking face.

Edit-This regimen is done every day, usually before I go to bed.

I started this regimen and honestly I have seen drastic improvement in the condition and feel of my skin. I used to have blotchy dry nasty skin with age spots and dark circles. Some of that damage has been cleared up, but not all.

So I'm saying, while your young, get started. You will thank me when your my age. Trust me.

Anti-uv I use the Eucerin like stated above. If it's real sunny or hot I will go with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock - I use the SPF 85 and it's the neatest stuff. Not greasy at all! It's almost weird how dry to the touch this stuff is.

Anti aging I have heard the Boots no7 protect and perfect beauty serum Is some real good stuff. But I've never tried it. maybe for xmas I'll treat myself to some.

"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.
