"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.

When I engage in athletic contests and other things that involve running, I tend to sweat easily and sometimes profusely very easily although I'm not tired...is there any way to control the excessiveness of sweat?
 

"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.

Yep. It's a health question, so it's only natural...:D

Oh yeah, I'll try answering the question now, since I had time to think.

- Try using an anti-perspirant. That helps keep you from sweating and might work.

Applied all over his body? :rolleyes:


Go to the dermatologist - they have a pill now that reduces excessive perspiration. I forget what it's called, but I used it for a while just to see how it worked.

Well....how did it work? I also have this issue. I'm less tired than my teammates/opponents, but I'm like dripping in sweat. It makes me look really sexy without a shirt, but with one, I feel like a sweaty pig...even though pigs don't really sweat.

I was only using it to get rid of sweating under my arms - apparently it didn't do so well, as I had to get DrySol - but I don't recall sweating anywhere else when I was on it. I'm sure the derm can give you a sample packet to try out first.

yeah, it pisses me off when people ask me if I've been doin exercise or something even though I've been out in the sun only 10 or 20 minutes without doing rigorous activites. It pisses me off, yeah..maybe I'll just shoot myself.

I have dry skin and allergies and I find that when I do intense cardio my skin gets very hot and itchy. Doesnt do this when I do weight training though. Would anti perspirant help this?
 

"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.

Diaphoresis (profuse or increased perspiration) is commonplace amongst teenage boys. Though if it makes you self conscious and you don not wish to wait a few years for the problem to naturally correct itself, you could always see a dermatologist to have the condition addressed *immediately*.
