Have fun destroying yourself
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Great Advice Jonwon.. i just started using the jojoba oil, gonna check it out and see how it works.. ive already been doing some of the stuff uve recommended for example taking Pantothenic Acid. I am also takin a wide variety of other vitamins like Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) both of which you can easily find at ur local GNC. I've been takin these as well as a few other supplements and eating alot of quality foods and lately my acne has dramatically cleared up. I learned everything from the book "The Acne Prescription" By Dr. Perricone. The book i think is amazin.. since following his program for 2 weeks i have a **** load of energy and my skin looks amazin and my acne is slowin alot.. CHeck it out for sure.. And pick up some Alpha Lipoic Acid and NAC.. there antioxidants so there great not just for ur skin but for all around health

so what are the rules on popping pimples and touching your face?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
In my experience popping is a good thing, if you're using this program. But try not to touch your face during the day. Also don't touch your face with your mobile phone.
POPPING
Wash your hands first, then pop them good, then have a shower, then apply creme.
If your not about to have a shower and apply the creme, don't pop yet.
If I do this I never see them again. Just be careful, you may be someone that scars easily.

My rules for popping...
1. Wait till the pimple has a white head
2. Take a safety pin and carefully puncture the top
3. Use a towel/cloth(no fingers or nails) and squeeze it until fluid is clear or red.
4. Have a shower and do whatever it is you do.

does the brand of bp matter? im getting an 8oz bottle of oxy bp at 10% for around 8 dollars. cheap to me, but does the brand/% make any difference?
also, has anyone tried the Erythromycin cream and does it matter much?

"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.
Ugh, my face is a bit burning from the benzoyl p. Will jojoba oil help alleviate that sensation, anyone know or can advise me I haven't put jojoba on yet (cause I didn't know put the benzoyl right now, earlier) cause I'm afraid it won't soothe it it'll make a bit worse.
Yeah I put it on and it soothed it a little hehe.
Today was my first day starting Accutane actually. I'm hoping for it work well and I hope I'm part of the half that never has acne come back.
What's troubling is that it'll get a bit worse at first, and then get better. So I'm gonna do BP + Jojoba for now once a day and see where that gets me. I'm breaking out pretty ****ing bad at the moment, dunno wtf is going on. I need to be looking nice by next weekend (important weekend!) so hopefully combining these two will give me some good results

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
If I was you I'd hold off the accutain until you give these 3 a shot. Do the research It's terrible stuff. I had terrible acne and thought nothing could fix it. Antibiotics, Lazar, retain-a did not work. The doctor told me to go get some accutain but thats when I came across Jonwon's advice. Just put the time in and read the whole thing.
With the cremes. The magic formula is....
1. BP 2.5% squirt a line of it as long as your pinky finger on your palm.
2. put a little erythromycin 2%(must have) in the mix
3. add 3 drops of jojoba oil
Mix up in your palm then apply gently to whole face, or affected areas.
At the start of my treatment, I didn't get good results until I applied the cremes 2 times a day(Cut it down to once later). Within a week I was getting no more puss bombs.

and wolf, thanks but no thanks, mine isn't just mild to moderate, it's becoming kinda severe now, but I will still do the BP+jojoba, or just the jojoba alone, I searched a lot on it, sounds too good to be true haha but it should work fine

Unless your skin is really resilient, BP combined with Accutane will irritate and dry you out to hell and back. If you insist on combining the two, look into using emu oil as a moisturiser; it's much more anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant than jojoba.Zerix said:
Oh, yeah I know about the dryness thing, I've been warned getting heavily dry lips and possibly nose (which can lead to nosebleeds) so I carry around a little moisturizer with me always.simon said:
I'm only using BP+jojoba oil til next weekend (that'll be only 1 week into accutane) because I really need to get better skin by then! Don't ask... lol.
Simon were you on accutane before?
"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.
