"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.

I had braces over 12 yrs ago for 5 years for a severe overbite (buckteeth). I don't know if it is my imagination, but I think they might shifted forward a little bit. Anyone else have this problem?
 

"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.

Yeah, my dog ate my retainer and I didn't get a new one for a few months and mine shifted a little too. When I finally got a new retainer it hurt like hell for a week but it fixied them. Just make sure you wear your retainer often, I wear mine whenever im sleeping.
Well, I had to wear a retainer too, but those days are long gone. I am talking about noticing a shift way after the braces and retainer are off.

There's always a chance of the teeth shifting back to the original positions long after the treatment especially when your post treatment positions are far away from the pre treatment positions ie the post treatment positions are not as stable as we wanted. For severe cases the dentist may advise the patient to wear the retainers permanently(at night).

If i don't put the retainer overnight the next time it hurts a lot more.

What im feeling is some of my teeth are actually kind of lose (the 3rd and 4th specifically). I have gotten the braces off last September and am wondering if this is just a temporary thing ?

Orthodontists are now saying that you always have to use a retainer at night for this exact reason.
 

"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.
