Master Don Juan
there are dating sites dedicated to people with herpes who don't want to spread it.
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.
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.
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.
Oxide said:mothafvcka I think you are the one who is brainwashed.. the whole damn country is brainwashed by the religious groups. Condoms are VERY EFFECTIVE for this kind of stuff - unless you broke it you should be alright.
"take it from someone that is clean" ???? shut the fvck up.... how is this an argument... damn
I wouldn't doubt that you could get something from a squirter drooling all over your thighs, but if this was the case, wouldn't pretty much EVERYONE have Std's by now? I mean there is ALWAYS skin to skin contact with sex..so if this is so easy, why don't you have herpes?How many STD's do you have/do you have AIDS? You MUST have a bunch because of all the sex you have.
This question always cracks me up. People, I am not going to get into a lecture about sexually transmitted diseases, but be careful who you believe. A lot of the info you find on this subject comes from sources with an agenda (e.g. religious groups, conservative abstinence groups, etc). But no, I do not have any STD's that I know of, and yes, I get tested regularly. It's actually pretty easy to avoid STD's if you just USE A ****ING CONDOM. And tons of girls I **** get tested after ****ing me, and none has ever come up positive for anything. Well, unless you count pregnancy as an STD.
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.

http://www.globalherbalsupplies.com/herpes/stats.htmlOne out of five of the total adolescent and adult population is infected with genital herpes.
Infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five).
Male-to-female transmission is more efficient than female-to-male transmission.
One in five Americans have genital herpes (yet at least 80 percent of those with herpes are unaware they have it).
About 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (cold sores).
An estimated 25 percent of American adults have genital herpes.
Genital herpes affects approximately one in six Australian adults
Approximately two-thirds of people who acquire STDs in the United States are younger than 25.1,3
About one in five people in the United States over age 12 (approximately 45 million individuals) are infected with HSV-2, the virus that causes genital herpes.2
According to the A.H.M.F. (Australian Herpes Management Forum) genital herpes is under-diagnosed — of people with genital herpes simplex virus infection only 1 in 5 are diagnosed and, up to 80% of cases of genital herpes are not recognized as such by clinicians.
At least one in four Americans will contract an STD at some point in their lives.
Up to 1 million new HSV-2 infections may be transmitted each year in the United States.1
Costs associated with genital herpes totaled approximately $237 million in 1994.3
Genital herpes infection also is more common among African Americans (45.9%) than among White Caucasian (17.6%).
Since the late 1970s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection has increased 30%.
The largest increase of genital herpes is among young White teenagers.
Genital herpes infection is now five times more common in 12- to 19-year-old White adolescents.
Genital herpes is twice as common among young adults ages 20 to 29 than it was 20 years ago.
http://www.cdc.gov/std/Herpes/STDFact-Herpes.htm#commonResults of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection increased 30 percent.
Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five). This may be due to male-to-female transmissions being more likely than female-to-male transmission.
When properly used latex condoms are likely to reduce your risk of spreading or getting herpes, however even the best condoms do not guarantee total safety.
When herpes sores occur in places not covered by a condom the condom is of little help, if any
um.....Oxide said:Well, I don't know, may be we should just let a guy who FVCKED ALMOST 1000 women pitch in:
I wouldn't doubt that you could get something from a squirter drooling all over your thighs, but if this was the case, wouldn't pretty much EVERYONE have Std's by now? I mean there is ALWAYS skin to skin contact with sex..so if this is so easy, why don't you have herpes?
so what are you trying to say? condoms do protect fully against herpes?Bible_Belt said:In any contentious national debate, both sides will have an agenda. Yes, the religious right-wingers are anti-condom because they are pushing abstinence. However, the left-wing liberals are the opposite extreme, glorifying condoms as a magic cure-all for the STD problem. Groups like Planned Parenthood are just as much out for your money as the Sunday morning televangelists. They all spin half-truths to empower themselves.
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.
its not blood that spreads it, its skin and since a razor is used on skin i guess it is possible but probally very rare. after so many seconds of air hitting the razor, the herpes should have been killed off, before you ever touched it.wolf116 said:When I was 16 I shaved my nuts with my dads used razor. It looked like got herpes afterwords. red lumps. Itched until I wanted to kill myself. Lasted about 8 months. now I get itchy only when I wear jocks. So I only wear boxers. What is that? I never get lumps anymore. tried Jock itch creme. helps but it's still there.
Can you get herpes from the blood on a razor?
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.
