Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

This is something I developed years ago to improve the look of my face, drastically. Now, I don't know how the skin works for everyone, because I'm black..so that may make some small difference. Anyway let me give you the info that I use:

Mentality: Think of yourself as pretty or beautiful (in the old medievil sense, not like in any homosexual or womanly way), so you have to take care of yourself so that you remain looking like an angel (that's a more comedic approach, but you know what I mean).

Physical steps: Every time you go out, or at the minimum you must do the least by washing your face with warm or hot water. Don't use soap! Or lotion! These will lead to either bumps or pimples.

Then what I do, is I use Nuetrogena. I have three different products from Nuetrogena, and I use them in a process:

1: Wash face with hot water, then apply Nuetrogena Face Lotion (make sure you get your neck and lower chin as well)
2: Once Face Lotion is applied, the Nuetrogena Shaving Cream is applied to the necessary spots of the face and shave (I would suggest you have a good shaver, like a Mach 3, Norelco, or something even better.)
3: Then, without washing the face off with hot water, I apply the Nuetrogena AfterShave Gel, which smooths the face again.

On days when you don't need to shave all that much, just do step 1.
 

"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.

prettyness is determined by genetics, and if u havent got it genetically, unlucky, cause no amount of creams and washes will change your facial structure.

good luck though...

As far as I know, prettyness wasn't genetic in my family. I have a family of men with a strong, rugged, handsome look, but not pretty boys. So its a matter of mentality and how well you take care of your face.

After you're done shaving.... immediately splash cold water on the parts you shaved. It minimizes the bumps (burn marks... burn+water=all better)
 

"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.

Your skin condition can be changed by lotions/creams or such, so it isn't all genetics.

ITS ALL GENETICS

For a man to have a pretty face one of the key things is a nice jaw. Not too many guys have that, I have it some what but noone in my family does. Im looking to find a way to help it though
 

"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.

If your skin is absolute acne crapped, it don't matter too much if you got a strong chizzled jaw or whatever genetic trait. Get the idea? I'm just stating the obvious here.

I'll answer your question.

Switch #3 with #1.

Also, not it wont be blocking your pores because Neutrogena products are non-comedogenic, which means they do not clog the pores.

I would recommend Neutrogena spf15. Sun protection is very important when it comes to skin care. I would also reccomend Cetaphil liquid wash. It is very very gentle and has moisturizer.

Which works both ways either you have oily, very oily, dry or nomal skin, it works swell! :)

Oh, and btw, good to see you. I got banned at bodybuilding.com lol.

Hey, I got my skin care help from chicas! :D

Oh, and yea, refer to acne.org message boards for skin care help.

And final words: Just because it worked for the thread starter, does'nt mean it'd work for you. Everbody reacts differently. Find the regimen that suits you. Good luck. :)

I don't give a ****. I get compliments about how I'm nice good lookin all that crap, but ever since I was about eighteen and lost most of by bodyfat. I don't know its still the same face but just I guess my features can showup a bit more now that the fat is gone. Give to that I also sprouted a beard and stash that enhanced my look to. So I basically just try to keep a clean face, avoid pimples as much as I can. I don't shave I mark the hairline often so I get that fresh barber look. And keep a hairstyle flatering so that it enhances my features. That's it. Not too much greasy products in my hair, as i used to do long ago. They tend to leak when u sweat which makes for a lot of buttons. If i do uses any howeve I always carry a rag.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
