Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Well, I'm just white. I never tan. I just burn and go white.

I wanted to know if any of you guys had any luck with that instant, spray on tan stuff. I want to give it a try, but I want to be tan not orange.

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.

It looks ridiculous. Those gradual tan lotions seem to look a lot more natural, though.

Negative. Think about long and hard man, do you really wanna be grouped into the catagory of men who spray tan? Like these assclowns...



I sure as fvck hope not.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yeah that's the kind of stuff I was referring to. I used it last summer when I was traveling through Europe, and it was very natural looking. Only problem is getting it under and around your fingernails. Be sure to wash that off as quickly as possible, or you'll get this ugly unnatural orange-ness around around your nails.


J-dog - is that really true about carrots?

The dove thing got tans for diffrent skin colors. Why don't yall take a solar bench, I think its way faster to tan almost every part of your body.

Forget about spray tanning. It's blatantly obvious and only masks an underlying problem. Look at it like this; what do you think of guys who "comb over" the scraps left on the top of thier heads? It's pathetic and reaching.

It's the same mentality.

If you want to tan go to a salon or outside if permitted. One piece of advice though, spend some money on a very very good tanning oil, one with a good spf and no mineral oil because it will eat away at your epidermis and cause severe burning.

This is what I use (it's primarily for indoor tanning but works just as well in the sun):

I did buy it for the name (it's kitchy) but I found the green tea and ginseng help keep my sking brown much more effectively.
 

"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.

That picture is hilarious, touche man. As for the topic, my FB uses this "summer glow" by Neutrogena... it's like a lotion but it tans you out after a week and it looks fantastic. Pretty sure it's under 15$ too!
