"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I was just wondering how bad it really turns girls off. Like maybe 2 or 4 small ones on your face.
 

"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.

:rolleyes:

Unless you have a bad acne problem as in a red face and tons of pimples all over, then it shouldn't be a give factor. Everyone get a couple of pimples now and then, so a few is nothing to worry about.

It doesn't turn them off if you are willing to share the popping duty with them.

Irrespective of how bad it is, what is always most important is how it is perceived to affect you. It's kinda a 'it it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me' thing.

I don't think it bothers them much. I mean they get a couple every now and then too you know.

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.

I think most people would agree that you should do what you can, that's not inconvenient, to combat the acne, and move on with your life. This is not a question worth dwelling on.

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.

How much does acne turn girls off?
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.

Dude, when you get game, your physical appearance means so little. As long as you wear cleans clothes, take baths/showers regularly, and keep the breath fresh, most women will understand that your acne is most likely a side effect of being the age you are, and that you'll grow out of it like most of us did.
 

"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.

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.

Get some Pro-active! It doesn't work for everyone, but it works for most.

Nah, I had to go to a dermatologist to get rid of mine.

I love their infomericials though..."jessica simpson used to have acne, *camera focuses in on her one pimple!*"

LMAO!

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.

Oh, and I tried what you suggested in the past, it doesn't work that well.

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.

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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
