"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.

Sunscreen Study

"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.

most protective in USA:

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.
 

"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.

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.
