"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Anyone tried it and did it work? What are your comments on it?

I've tried it and it didn't work. The commercials are funny though at how they claim it works.

I say, save money, go out and buy some bp (2.5), mosturizer, and some good face cleanser. A ton cheaper.

I tried it and it worked for me. Really the only thing that ever has.

It worked for me for a few months. Then I seemed to build up a resistance to the tiny amount of benzoyl peroxide in the crap. You're better off getting a prescription for cream with higher amounts of benzoyl peroxide - that's the chemical that makes 99% of all topical acne treatments work. Prescription will always be higher than over the counter too, for legal reasons.

You might want to try using the cream more liberally, you might be spreading it too thin.

last i checked it was imposible to be resistant to benzoyl peroxide. it creates oxygen in your skin which kills the bacteria, and you can't become resistant to oxygen.

crazykid, use 2.5%-5% BP which has the same effect as 10%. i tried 10% once and that **** burned my face so bad i was peeling for 2 weeks.
or be smart and just go on accutane, which is the only thing that REALLY works. i been living with this acne bull**** for 4 years and about to start taking it in the fall.

My skin actually reacts better to the 10% then the 2.5 BP. Never peeled from the BP itself, but from too much moisturizer after shaving.

I thought about Accutane, but my skin isn't that bad with acne to need it. All I really have left are the red marks.
 

"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.

Yes I've read that as well. That's what I mean by it seems that I built a resistance to it. It's a fact that for me it worked for a few months, then I kept breaking out. I don't know what really happened but those are the results. Even when I talked to my dermatologist about it, she said she's heard of that happening before. But that was several years ago so I don't remember the reasoning she gave me. Perhaps Proactiv relies on more than BP and those chemicals can be resisted.

if your skin is not bad enough to use accutane, i'd suggest getting a prescription for "DUAC" gel from your derm. it has 5% bp and 1% clindamycin and has helped me a lot in the past few months. can't say that i tried proactiv but i heard it only works for several months, then your skin gets used to those other chemicals, so you're only paying for the benefits of BP which you can get 10x cheaper.

I've tried proactive and it kept my acne in line, although it never improved. I then switched to using the proactive cleanser then putting on BP and my acne has improved ten fold.
