Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Need advice on acne scars (pics included)

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.

Hey bud,
I can honestly say from a male perspective, if you were a guy who i started talking to for whatever reason....say you were a fellow forester, like me, I honestly would never ever have noticed it. Its the same old thing that we all go through; somebody when we are young makes a comment about something and all of us, being young afcs (and females more for this matter) blow things up out of all proportion. I got acne too when young and it was a confidence knocker. But honestly mate, your a man now. You look like a dude who can pull hot chicks, so just go for it - nothing to keep worrying about!!!! Just get out there and be a dude!!!!!!!!!!

Not bad at all. Barely noticeable. I wouldn't worry about it

your present style sucks bigtime!!!!!
your present style sucks bigtime!!!!!"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

Yeah... this isn't the place to do this. There is a whole sub-forum on acne.org devoted to this sort of thing.
Your scars are mid to severe but the mid-severe area is only confined to a small area on the cheeks which is good (I can't tell if you have them anywhere else). The best advice I can give you when looking to correct them is to take it slow and do research, research, research on the potential procedures and especially the derm who will preform them. You can find SO many stories about people who got screwed over multiple grand (and months of time) because they went to crappy derms. Do NOT rush into it.

I know, I need to change the hair. I tried short hair before but it didn't work for my facial shape and structure..TonyBaloney said:one final thing i would say though is get yourself a good haircut
Men can get away with scarring and still be attractive, plus yours isn't bad.
Dry skin brushing over time is the best option. Lemon juice in lieu of soap/after shave. Acne is a sign of liver toxicity so Milk Thistle and organic diet are the best option.

Your acne is not the problem with your looks.
You look very pale and meak and have a long haircut.
I know you said that short hair doesnt look good on you, but I would try it again if I were you, then go work out on the weights alot to build up the testosterone and go tanning.
This should help you quite a bit.

"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.

IMO no girl in her right mind would think twice about the scars... what will make her think twice is your insecurity about it. We all have stuff we don't like about our bodies, just get past it man.
I have minor scaring but still stuck with acne at 29... I'm often surprised by the looks I get from girls I think are way out of my league looks wise. It always comes down to game or lack there of that determines the outcome.

LOL this picture of you makes you look completely different.
You look buff, laid back and ready to go dude. Keep in shape, tan and you will be just fine. Your acne marks should have minimal effect on you, take a look at my pics that I posted I think they are on the second or third page. You will see something about my face if you look VERY closely, I notice it and think it sucks that I have it. But not alot of other people notice.....you are likely the same way about your acne marks.
The first thing I said when I saw your pics was "what scars?". Dude, they are barely noticeable and I'd go as far to say that they give your face a little character.
As for the long hair and pale skin...pale skin is in, skin cancer is out. The long hair would work in Europe but not America.

I think the hair looks great on you either way and it can only work in your favor. In my opinion you could pull off a Jon Levin with that hair (the short style or the long one. Doesn't matter). Forget spending 10 grand on such a minor problem. Instead put more energy into going to the gym and work to getting a Dwight Howard physique. Going to the gym and getting excellent results will not only erase that "problem" from your mind but it'll get you in significantly easier with the ladies. I'm assuming you're about 5'9. Am I right?Metaphysical said:
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.

Yeah man, the girls are gonna love yah. No reason for any surgery especially forking over 10K.
I want you to make a list of all the things that you could use that 10K for and you would be suprised how many things you could get that would go to waste if you paid for a surgery that you do not need.

Not being rude but you look a little gay/feminine. But good looking. Young girls like that.
Dude... you look GREAT!!
I really dont see a big deal with the scars. I have some myself and dont really pay attention to them much.
Only thing I could tell you is that watch your body language. I didn't liked your cross armed position, that's bad body language.
Also... try not to smile that much. A sly smirk will do sometimes. I remember a statistic made on a study that said girls were more attracted to more serious/mysterious/confident look than a smiling/friendly look (first impressions of course)

"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.
