"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.

It's nothing heavy, mostly light zits on my forehead, reddish skin on my cheekbones and some small zits around my jaw area, I've been putting some regular cream for a while, tried cream based with cortisone, it temporarily make things better but never really resolves the issue. To anyone who had similar issues, what was your solution?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Drinking lots of water and eating healthy worked for me when I was a kid.

I would imagine a good exercise routine is recommended as well.

I bet those creams may work but honestly good diet and exercise always helps. Its the only way I stay in shape. I am 28 but I look 21 still (with a beard no less)

One of my work buddies tipped me off to using Vitamin E. I was 28 then, now I'm 55 and I still keep some around. I get the cheap grocery store variety, 400iu, take up to four a day for serious outbreaks, less for maintenance.
It's way better than anything else I've tried, OTC or prescription. The first time I took it, I could almost feel my skin going "Ah!"

Do you wash/moisturize your face now? What's your regimen currently?

I suggest 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (i.e. Neutrogena On-The-Spot). Apply this aggressively to pimples and they should go away pretty quickly. If it's bad enough then you can apply it to your entire face once or even twice daily before moisturizing.

Also placing a warm damp washcloth on your face for 15-20 minutes daily. If you have a particularly bad pimple you can put a warm washcloth on it for a while and it will help a LOT (follow up with washing, On-The-Spot and moisturizing too).
 

"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.

Try stabilizing your insulin levels. Insulin spikes promotes acne.

Thanks guys

I guess my first step is eating more healthy and exercise more, now that I think about it, I started getting my outbreaks shortly after I stopped working out due to an injury and it got gradually worse (and now I eat so much junk food -_-) and I guess I can try vitamin E for starters in addition to the moisturizers, if it doesn't work I'll go for heavier stuff (not a fan though)

Acne is caused by Candida.

Look it up.

To get rid of it:

Eat garlic
Eat Coconut

Cut out all sugar, no soft drinks e.t.c, this includes sweetners.

Cut out yeast foods, if possible - no beer, no bread - Drink wine instead of lagers till it clears.

See results.

Vitamin E wont do jack - Water isn't a cure, it's drinking fluids that don't contain sugar (this includes fruit and Juices, since fruit contains alot of natural sugar). For example you can drink decaffinated tea or coffee (caffiene aggrivates the problem, it increases your blood flow, and if you have candida it sends more toxins to your pores). - you can have wine to a moderate degree.

I suggest you do some research on Candida, THIS IS YOUR CAUSE.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=acne+candida&meta=&aq=f&oq=

Creams will get rid of them for a while, but it's like adding bleach to a stagnant pond it will clear the pond but it wont get rid of the underlining problem.

If you want me to give you a step by step daily guide and offer suggestions for food, send me a PM - I Guarantee you'll see a result in a week.

i started lifting and eating healthy/ eating a whole lot of food everyday and this surprising cleared me up. i would get some zits but then they would go away much faster and they come in less frequency. what derms say about diet not affecting your acne is really untrue.
 

"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.
