"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.
 

"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.

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

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

"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.

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'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.
