"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.

Hey,

I've noticed that a lot of guys get strech marks around their arms after they start lifting heavy and stuff like that. I wanted to know if there is any way to avoid these stretch marks.

Thanks
 

"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.

Yes it is possible.
1. Stay properly hydrated, drink 1-2 gallons of water a day.
2. Use a lotion containing cocoa butter and apply it on the outerchest shoulder area. This area is the prime candidate for stretching.

Goodluck:)

you can try cocoa butter, however stretch marks are caused when you get bigger and your skin has no elasticity.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I have them and it pisses me off when people ask "What happened to you?!!" lol

I know I've heard of ways to get rid of them. Vitamin C creme or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

On that note, I have perfect skin, girls comment on its smoothness. The reason I have that is because I drink 1.5 gallons of Orange Juice and Grapefruit Juice a day. But!!!!! Drinking that much was the biggest obstacle I had to losing weight. I got 1500 calories from drinking alone. Drink water like Fitness said, not OJ. And about lifting heavy weights, do what I did, by weight-training gloves. I got a $30 pair and they look hell of sweet, wear em occasionally outside and get compliment on them, but they also prevent marks from developping on my hands. Make sure they aren't "gloves," most of your fingers should not be covered, just the first bit.

Stretch Marks will fade over time to a color a few shades lighter than your normal skin color. The purple/redness of them is only temporary but you will lose the melanin in that part of the skin. There are a few things you can do to help them.

1. Start using REtin-A Micro .10% immediately. Do this morning and night. You will notice an improvement over time.

2. Look around at cosmetic laser surgeons. There is a laser called the Excimer Xtrac that will help all sorts of pigment issues (vitiligo, stretch marks, hypopigmentation). It's expensive and very few people have access to it. Go to www.photomedex.com for more information on it.

Other than that your S.O.L. Wear them with pride or cover them up if you don't like them. This is the reason you gotta bulk SLOWLY. Everyone gets so damn impatient and they gain 15 lbs in 2 months and a few marks to go along with it.


Later,

Some ways to prevent stretch marks

1) Apply Cocoa butter cream everyday to areas that may be affected by them (Delts, Arms, Stomach, Quads). Pretty much rub it all over. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Cream works best IMHO.

2) Take 800 IU of Vitamin E a day

3) Drink 1-2 gallons of water a day

4) Take in Flax oil everyday.


These have been used on women during pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks on their stomach from birth. It isn't a guarantee but it's better than nothing.

If you ever plan on doing a PH cycle (1AD,4AD) then I recommend starting this routine 2-3 weeks BEFORE you begin taking them. This will allow your skin to sofen some in advance.
