"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.

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!
 

"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.

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!
 

"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.

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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
