"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.

Any brand of concealer for men that you guys would recommend? First-timer here so I did some research online and there's actually quite a few..so far I like war paint, stryx, and woak skin.

I don't want to spend a lot of money, and want a "manly" looking product. Just something simple to cover dark spots or when i get a pimple. Leaning towards Woak, but would like to hear recommendations if anyone has tried any brands. Thanks!

Are you from Asia by chance? Generally guys don't use that stuff other than certain parts of Asia(aka Korea).

lol no, I'm not from asia. I'm as white as they come. Not sure why you think that? All these companies are western and marketing to non-asians.
 

"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.

I imagine "for men" concealers are the same concealers women use, just branded for men to appear more "manly." No amount of branding can make female cosmetics a masculine thing, however.

Korean "K-pop" men are the poster children for extremely effeminate, gender-fluid men. They often wear makeup. Hence the assumption.

I have dark spots, scars, lines, some red splotches on my face. I'm considered handsome by some women. It's not a big deal for us. I wouldn't worry about it. You're much less attractive to women being effeminate and vain than being rugged and masculine with some physical flaws. Just have a basic skincare routine. Wash and moisturize with SPF. That'll do.

Even if you bypass the socio-culture conditioning of manliness and "guys don't wear makeup", I'd say most of the cosmetics are harmful for the skin, including concealers.

Blocking pores, react with the skin etc.

If you're using it to strengthen your insecurities, find a resolution to the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Like eat healthy for healthy skin. Your skin completely renews by 3 months. And it comprises entirely of your nutrition.

I just go for plain old facewash, hair oil, skin moisturization.
