"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.

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!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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!

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
 

"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.

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.
