Sock? Ive been trying it commando as Kramer would say. Although that does sound safer cause I don't want to burn the boys.
"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.
Tanning beds?

"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.

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
"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.

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.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
