"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.

Sand under my skin?

Last night the different dorms on our campus played sand volleyball against eachother, so I was in the sand barefoot for about 2 hours. After a while, my feet started to hurt so I thought "no big deal, it will go away." Anyway, this morning I woke up and they hurt when I walked around, so I looked at them and it looks like there are grains of sand shoved under my skin or something. I know it's not athlete's foot because I've had that before (that was awful, make sure you never play really physical sports without using good clean socks). What could it be/how do I get it fixed?
 

"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.

Maybe. It may be the same as when you get a splinter?, can you "dig" them out?

They hurt cause you were used to playing that vigorously. If you had any cuts on your foot, it's possible that sand could of slipped in but VERY unlikely. Just watch it for the next week, andt hen consult the doctor if it doesn't get any better.

When I was messing with bullets a while back... I was shooting them off from my hands with a hammer... stupidity at it's max... but to the point I had little black grains imbedded in my skin for a few weeks after... I think it was gunpowder or shrap or somehting... this sounds simmilar but with sand... mine went away withing a week... and completely gone in about a month or two

You ARE an idiot aren't you?
 

"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.

the gun was broken... If you really want to add to the stupidity I took a blow torch to a bullet while staring at it[I was soddering] the bullet went off but missed my face... it did rickoche(sp? as I know thats not right) and bounce off the cement walls before stoping... so after that I did it again... and it blew again... so then i said screw guns... I have some 30 bullets lets just fire them off ith a hammer with a nail on the end...

It took me about a week to regain my hearing to normal levels where I could hear people... in a month all the ringing was gone.

And just imagine this is actually one of my more docile experiences... and all you people think I have a boring life.:p

No, they're far down. I know there's something there because I can feel it.

Yeah R3N3GAD3 I guess I'll just watch it for a while and hopefully it will go away, if not I'll have it checked out.

Capi... nevermind.

"Cause of Death: Tiny grains of sand in his foot"

Don't worry about 'em: they'll go away on their own, just like small splinters do if you leave 'em alone for long enough.

I've had the same little piece of gravel in my knee since I wiped out in the 4th grade. You'll be fine.
