You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
Mjazz said:I was just wondering how bad it really turns girls off. Like maybe 2 or 4 small ones on your face.
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.
This is really the wrong question to ask, and it shows you're in the wrong frame: "What will all girls think?" First of all, you're trying to please all women, which is def the wrong place to come from. Even if you were trying to please one woman, it could be a bit questionable.Mjazz said:I was just wondering how bad it really turns girls off. Like maybe 2 or 4 small ones on your face.
If it helps you get laid :rockon:L777 said:I do this really gay thing if I'm on a night out...I use this stuff called menaji camo on my cheeks (where I have mild acne) and it basically just covers it up but no-one can tell you're wearing it. Aparrantly they use it on Justin Timberlake, Antonio Banderas and many other male celebrities.
I got it off mankind.co.uk but I'm sure you can get it across the pond.
Lol yea...make up seems to help emos and goths...why not PUAs?Charm said:If it helps you get laid :rockon:
As much as you let it turn them off. I've got a nose on me that short women stand under in the rain. And if I could ever learn to flap my ears, I'd never use public air transport again.How much does acne turn girls off?
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.
Easy Van Wilder...Themanthatcan said:Ok. Contrary to what most of you believe, I think it reflects your level of hygiene and how well kept you are. Get Clearasil face wash, and Proactive refining mask. First use the face wash then put the mask on individual pimples, to dry them up. Whatever you do, don't pick it!! (Unless its really white)And if you do pick it, push down around the pimple not into it.Picking doesn't do anything for you face but make it worse. Not popping a zit may not produce the same immediate results as popping one, but in 2-3 days it will go away, w/ no scab or trace it was there and probably won't come back. Use the combo 2 times a day and at most 3-4. Don't over do it! If you keep using it too much consistently, it will dry your face out and your face will start PEELING. You'll have a problem much worse than your zits. If you can put a small amount of lotion or mousturizer on your face just so it's not so dried out, do it. The keys to clearing up your acne are patience, and moderation.
Write that down.
Ha.Yeah, that was the pun at the end. (by the way guys, Ryan Reynolds is a great example of what most here are striving for. Check out "Just friends" "Van wilder" etc.Ripper said:Easy Van Wilder...
Nah, I had to go to a dermatologist to get rid of mine.WaterTiger said:Get some Pro-active! It doesn't work for everyone, but it works for most.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
B.S. I'm borderline obsessive about my personal hygiene but have had mild acne for years now. Whereas one of my flatmates smokes weed all the time, eats crap, doesn't shower regularly or have a skin regime....but has near flawless skin. It's just genetics.Themanthatcan said:Ok.

right...and I'm 95% certain that acne can be worsened by stress. So if you worry about your acne, it can make you break out even more creating a cycle.splinterkb said:If its not a lot, then it shouldnt matter much. Worrying about it too much will be worse than actually having it. Its not that big of a deal, everyone gets it.
