"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.

"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.

Keep your body the same size or quit *****ing about stretch marks.

Oh, or about 5 years of time.

I have a girlfriend. I get laid pretty much whenever I call her. I really only have to look good for her, and apparently, she thinks I look fine.

Now listen.

Stretch marks (I get them, too... inner arms and thighs) occur whenever a body part expands rapidly. For example, your certainly massive biceps.

There are lots of products around that claim to reduce stretch marks, but none of them stand out as being effective. So what you're left with to get rid of stretch marks are straight time, a dermotologist, or a plastic surgeon. The latter two charge more than I do.

If you don't want more stretch marks, stop stretching your skin out. Maybe you could spend the extra time and learn how to spell.
 

"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.

Mederma. It is an over-the-counter topical scar medicine that works wonders. It probably won't eliminate the stretch marks, but it will definitely make it less noticeable. It's a little pricey though ($20 for a tube), and you can get it at any drug store (CVS, Walgreens, maybe even some grocery stores).

Good luck.

Stretch marks don't go away once you got them. There are two ways to help prevent them, one way works better than the other, you figure out which.

1. Don't workout to become huge, instead go for definition and lose fat.

2. Rub cocoa butter on your skin every day. Note, this will do nothing if you already got stretch marks of course. And even still its effect is minimal at best.

Stretch marks are little tears in the skin that get healed...Like muscle repariing itself after a workout or a broken bone being more robust after breaking. You got them for life amigo.
