"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hey wassup guys. I've had Pectus Carinatum since i can remember,(at about 10 years of age). Incase you don't know, its when like one of my chest bones is has a deformaty, causing my chest to push out. My chest is sometimes called a pigeon-chest. It causes me pain every once in a while, but very painfull, in the morning. I am wanting to get surgery done, but i dont know how much it cost, what they going to do, what are long term affects, etc. Just wondering if you guys know how much its going to cost, and when they DO open me, just wondering if my cuts are going to stay with me for the rest of my life. HELP!!


THANKS!
 

"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.

Virtually no one on here is going to know what this is.

I was born with Pectus Excavatum which is the opposite. The chest is sunken.

I had surgery at Johns Hopkins hospital to correct it.

I recommend surgery if for no other reason the psychological trauma of the deformity.

MOST IMPORTANT: Asked the surgeon "how many of these procedures do you do per year"

Some of the big teaching hospitals will do a lot. Don't go to any hospital that only does say one procedure per year. I think UCLA medical center does a lot.
There's a surgeon in the southeast you might want to check with.
Dr Nuss. Do a google search for Dr Nuss and Pectus to get more info on him.

Good luck

ok cool, ill check on that. I have question. When they opened you and then closed your incision, did that scar dissapear? or atleast faded to a very thin line which is very unnoticable? i dont want to be at the beach with a big scar. I have never had surgery in my life except this one time.

THANKS!
 

"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.

My surgeon got additional training from plastic surgeons. My scar is barely noticable. Not everyone heals the same, so their are no gaurantees.
With todays techniques it should look pretty good. If you get chest hair you might never see anything
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

A lot, insurance paid for it, although times have changed

It was done around 1990 and the cost then was probably over $20,000.00 but I really can't remember.

You need a consultation with a specialist. Their might be some non-surgical options as well.
