"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.

Hey DJ's. So its summer time and I've been busting my ass since the winter at the gym, so now I'm in pretty good shape, definitely a body that doesn't make me ashamed to take my shirt off.

However, I'm naturally pretty hairy and want to get rid of it on the chest/stomach before hitting the beaches.

Usually I just keep it trimmed, I hate shaving. I have gotten it waxed/sugared before, and that's the best method for results and the pain is not too bad for me.

However, whenever I do this or get it done I have one problem. I break out, bad. It seems like 70% of the hair follicles that have a hair removed form whiteheads within 48 hours of getting this done, and it doesn't go away for like a week. Considering the results only last two weeks, and its very uncomfortable and unsightly, this is a pretty big problem.

Anybody on here get waxed or sugared and has figured out a way to either prevent this problem or resolve it quicker?

I'm also considering laser hair removal, possibly for next year when I get some more money. Can anybody personally speak on the effectiveness of this? I have the right combination of light skin and very dark hair so it should work, but I have a couple of freckles/flat moles in the area I'd have treated and am worried that since dark pigments absorb the light, these areas would burn very badly. Does the technician work around the freckles or how does this work?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Try Nair or something. I have a hairy chest, but I don't mess with it.
