"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hi Everyone

I know this is no way related to dj'ing, but I figure "Anything Else" would be a good place to try to find this information. Today I went to the dentist to get x-rayed and cleaning, they told me I have two small cavities and I should get them filled soon. My mom is hellbent on not getting them filled because she belives that they are worthless and that the dentist does it for the money.

Is my mom right? or should I try to fill the cavitiy? I'm worried about long term effects, and for me personally i'd rather get it filled.

So basically i'm looking for some insights on wether or not to just get it done and not listen to my mom, or if she's actually correct that the dentist do it to make more money.

Thanks in advance
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Getting cavities is AFC. You're only supplicating to the dentist if you get it filled.:cheer:

don't get it filled, and the cavity gets bigger.

it gets bigger again.

and bigger again.

next thing you know you're root is infected (the nerve connecting your tooth to your gum) and needs to be removed. this means one of 2 things.

1) tooth removed root dies, u move one with one less tooth.

2) the dentist drills a bigger whole in your tooth and over 2-4 operations he removes the root, cures the infection and fills gum/empty tooth with rubber. there is no gurantee that won't become infected later, but in most cases you'll be fine. then you need a cap over the giant whole (cavity + drilling) into your tooth.


my story. I had a filling, it came out one day.

"mum i lost a filling when i was eating"
"you'll be fine quest."
"ok mum"

2-3 years later i went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth out. he put a filling in where that one came out years before.

one day i had this incredible pain in my tooth..

i brushed my tooth and it seemed to go away.
(it was actually the cold water making it go away)

the infection was creating gas, which was causing pain. the cold water would cool the gas and ease the pain. i couldn't fight the pain, rushed to the dentist, had to wait. then see option 2. above.
 

"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.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies!

Quest: Does your post mean that I should get it filled? From the sounds of it, its like either decision I pick, It would lead to what you went through.

In the end, i'll probably get it filled, even if I have to use my money. I'd rather know that I could have prevented something, then did nothing at all.

Thanks everyone

You don't need teeth. Just look at Shane McGowan, he gets tons of chicks.
 

"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.

The last time I went to the dentist I was so young I can't even remember! (maybe 15 years ago)

I have been to the doctor only once in 10 years. I don't trust doctors and I don't trust medicine. I am one of the healthiest people you will ever meet. Maybe because I don't go to the doctor and don't use medicine?

Ya know, some dentists are money grubbing morons who prescribe useless interventions constantly.

However, I'd air on the side of caution. If he is telling the truth, which he probably is, that cavity will continue to get bigger and more infected as time goes on. Then you will feel true pain.

This is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.

There is a reason the avg lifespan has increase dramatically over the past decades...and it ain't because of organic foods and purified water.

Not going to a dentist is just dumb, even if u brush your teeth very well, there is always a chance of gettin a cavity, and the dentist is the only way to address that problem unless u want to lose a tooth.

Lastly, while it is true that a lot of society over medicates for every small problem, it is also true that not going to doctors at all is just as foolish. Its flawed logic to criticize one extreme (seeing doctors for every little problem) and then advocate another extreme (never go to the doctor).

Don't trust medicine huh?? So when your in a car accident and break your arm, just gunna go home and put a band aid on it? When it gets infected..just toss on some neosporin huh? When it turns gangrene??
 

"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.

The average lifespan has increased dramatically over the past century primarily because of public sanitation policy.

That being said, not using medical services when you are too sick to take care of yourself is truly a foolhardy move.

You're dumb. You aren't healthy because you don't see the doctor or take medicine, you're healthy just because you're lucky, and frankly, most people that have good sanitation and hygiene are generally healthy. It's not because you don't see the doctor, dumbsh*t.

Right.... just like the woman who finds a lump in her breast but doesn't go to the doctor anyways. Of course she thinks she's healthy until 5 years later she finally gets it checked and its cancer. They gave her 6 weeks to live. (If you didn't pick up on it...true story)

I mean seriously why would a doctor know anything they've hardly got an education and whatnot.
