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.

"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.

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'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.
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?

"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.
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

"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.
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?
