"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Anthelios SX. spf 15 uva 15 great stuff. pricy but, I use it as a daily moisturizer.

Neutrogena spf 55 uva~15-18, but concern about oxybenzone? burns my face a bit.

Canadian and European blocks are superior. Order online.

80% of all age related aging is due to UV exposure.

Good find. Thank you.

rofl.

80%?!?!?
what would you define as age related aging?

i mean. thats probably just as retarded, vague, and pointless statistic as i've ever heard.

i think 80% of my lil cousins AGE RELATED AGING would be from infant milk powder tds, rather than any sun damage.

You guys ever notice how far behind the US always is because of the FDA? Europe and canada have approved things a decade prior that the US is just now bothering to experiment with.

All the time I hear about products that no one is being hurt by just not FDA approved yet. They're too busy banning things like ephedra because some idiots take way more than the intended dosage, nevermind the fact that the chinese have used it for centuries and last i heard their population is no where near dying off.
 

"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.

Thanks Potbelly.
I though it was obvious we were talking about the skin and sun exposure, and UV induced photoaging.

Sunscreens in the USA are regulated as drugs, not cosmetics like they are in Europe.

Mr. Ruckus, Good points you brought up. I agree.

I think big Pharma has alot of lobbying power. FDA works really slow, and have to be sure that the drug works, otherwise companies will be sued all the time.
