"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

the worst thing I eat is pizza a few times a week with about 90% water 10% orange juice for post workout
My eucimporeimng is still in the mail and I plan on picking up some Jojoba tommorow

My face isn't even that bad, maybe 1 or 2 current whiteheads, but the s*** just comes randomly so I hope this works.
"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.
Well man when you spots are fading and gone i will suspect the moaning will turn to a feeling of 'i am glad i did this'.danno1 said:HOW am I suppose to take this b5 over powder form?
It smells awful, it tastes worse, and I really regret not spending my 35$ not getting capsules instead of this crappy powder.
Its only money! It would only be spent on pop or beer or some other random none needed item anyway.
So guys, progress how are we doing? There should be some very positive results about now, from some people.
Yes you can!Charm said:My right cheek is totally clear but I had a few whiteheads appear on my left over night and I had used benzoyle on the cheek before I went to sleep. It actually looked worse in the morning than the night before. Oh, and my skin was all flaky/white/dried/dead all over in the morning. Can you combine jajoba with any well known moisturizers?
the flaky/dryness is the BP working, it is combated with the oil, if it is not totally effective then try applying BP, then the oil mixed in with a moistorizer.
You can combine the oil with pritty much anything, maybe charm you need to go for the 3rd link in the chain i know i do.
Get the 3rd cream i mentioned and kiss good bye.
jojobo can work with just BP better then BP, but some people need to go a step higher and push further.
Thats why the routine posted is as much as i can offer, if your not doing all the steps i cant guarantee 100% results.
anyway apart from that what is the difference between, before and After, now you have used more methods posted? are we seeing an improvement from say a month ago?
PS. What moisturizer do you recommend?
in this order:
1. Clean & Clear Acne cleanser [BP 5%] - morning & night
2. Life facial exfoliator - twice a week at night
3. Life skin toner for men - morning & night
4. Life moisturizer for men - morning & night
5. Oxy5 acne treatment [BP 5%] - whenever I get a pimple i use it, morning & night
------------------------
I have to say, the biggest factors for me is 1.sleep 2.dont touch face 3.stress(causes you to touch face I find)
I know everyone is different, but that is what works for me. I also shower twice a day, in the morning and after tennis at night.
"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.

I will go to level 3 and report back.
Pimples no, spots yes.wolf116 said:Well, my acne is better. but the puss is still coming up during the day. This stuff is working buy healing my popped pimples quickly and stopping eruptions overnight. But when I get all dirty and sweaty eg. work or work out. My skin gets all rotten again afterwords even if i cleanse afterwords. I do not believe it takes a couple of days for a pimple to form. After I do something bad, they're there within 4hours.

Pimples, Blackheads are pours blocked up with grease and sebum it seems you heavy routine is causing excessive grease build up.
I would try the routine during the day it may help.
Or the Vit B5 supposed to limit the prodcution of sebum.
anyway i was informed many years ago to stay away from greasy jobs and jobs that require you to sweat that much, they are not good for acne sufferers, think about the long term. I used to manage a BK and i found it hard to control them, all the grease in the air and it being so hot all the time e.t.c, it was a constant battle, but this routine was not known back then.

Wow!
I may try it i may not, i don't have too many pimples.
"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.
Also, on my back every night i put JOJOBA+BP on the pimples I can reach plus I got an apricot Salicylic acid 2% bodyscrub/exfoliator and have been using it with a back-brush to wash my back. My back is starting to clear up and the pimples are fading so they dont look very red/sore. I believe in 3 weeks my face and back will be 90-95% clear and in 2 months 100% at this rate!
I don't really get spots. just puss bombsjonwon said:Pimples no, spots yes.

The doc said i could try some other creme with antibiotics in it. Didn't get it because you are so confident in this stuff. Will get it another time if it doesn't work.
wish me luck
"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.
