"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.

HIV spreads through direct blood contact. Like through tiny cuts.
But what if the girl is having no outbreak? Are you still going to get it if you come in contact with her skin? I know herpes isn't the biggest deal in the world, but still, I take pride in being certifiably STD free and don't want that stigma over my head.
 

"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.

not exactly true......
if the person you are sleeping with has herpes but has no break out or common sore, it is less likely to catch them, but you still can.
especially if they cheated on you and they are about to have their first break out and not know it yet.
and even if they wear a condom, it is only going to protect the exact area that it covers, so if they were infected on the inner leg beside their private part, no condom will protect you...
at least that's how i caught herpes .

They should make an anti-herpes condom. It can basically be like wearing a pair of latex biker shorts with a condom built into it. Anyone want to partner up for my business idea? :woo:

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

herpes tests are useless and not accurate, doctors know herpes are not a big deal but the media has convinced society that you are an outcast if you have it. They make money off of paranoid people who spend X amount of dollars for a scam.

Unless your immune system or something in your genetics is weird you should be more worried about getting a chick pregnant.

By the way, if you've ever had chicken pox you have herpes

Farrk, why does something ALWAYS have to spoil the equation? Why can't any one thing just be good and not have some horrid side effect?

They should. I'd buy that.

But in an almost always permenantly dormant and harmless form. Chickenpox is to HSV-1 and 2 as the common cold is to Bird Flu.
