Sock? Ive been trying it commando as Kramer would say. Although that does sound safer cause I don't want to burn the boys.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Did you ever get burned on the first day of your beach vacation and then spend the rest of the week with the bottle in the room with a bottle of aloe gel? Guess not or you wouldn't have asked that question.Originally posted by Dictatorsaurus
I don't understand why people try so hard to get a tan. They're reasoning is that it makes them look healthier. How does it look healtheir and more natural if you are not born with it and get in a salon?
I've never seen a dark man trying to become white (MJ doesn't count).

Tanning salons are not there to prevent you from getting burnt (the process of getting a tan is actully a minor skin burn) they are visited for cosmetic reasons only.
the process of getting a tan is not a minor skin burn. its your skin reacting to more exposure to UV light and producing more melanin(sp?), which makes your skin darker. a minor skin burn is also known as a sun burn, which is not what you try to get when you go tanning
"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.

while I was waiting for a bed I observed someone watching a video instruction for one of the spray on tans. Can't say that looks like something I want to do. You have to stand in several different poses while the spray goes on and then wait for it to dry. Then it only lasts for a week at the longest and you still have to use the highest sunscreen when you go outside because your "tan" offers no protection from the sun.
Another benefit of UV tanning beds over spray-on tans is that it improves your complexion and vitality. Anybody with skin problems such as acne would probably notice a lot of benefits of using a tanning bed.

I started going to a tanning bed about a week ago (been there 3 times so far) and I think it's great. I always feel really good when I get out of there. I was worried at first that I might not get any results since I have red hair (well dark rust actually) and really pale skin, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I recommend everyone try a tanning bed for atleast a week, it's a really powerful confidence booster!

That's not entirely true. Developing a tan does prevent you from getting burnt, but you are right that most people only go to a salon for cosmetic reasons. I've heard of people going before vacation so they don't get a sunburn. Before I went to the tanning salon I would get burnt in 20 minutes without sunblock. Now I can last at least an hour (that's as long as I've attempted).Tanning salons are not there to prevent you from getting burnt (the process of getting a tan is actully a minor skin burn) they are visited for cosmetic reasons only.
"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.
