"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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
 

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
