"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.

Yo I figured I would try a little different poll here. My question is do you guys like to go tanning? Now I know it has always been a girl thing for the most part, but I just started going about a month or two ago and I like doing. [Obviously only in the winter]. I mean I have had compliments about it and things so I was wondering what everyone here thought about it?
 

"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.

I don't see how it's any different from putting gel in your hair or getting your teeth fixed with braces.

I have tanned 3 times in the past week because I am going to Florida tommarow.

Other guys are like "eww dude you tan? That's gay."

And I just say "Better than looking like your pasty white ass..."

I tan, and although I don't run around telling everyone. If people ask me about it, I admit it tho. And people at the gym see me going to the tanning bed, anyway.

I haven't gotten any bad remarks on it. Only a couple chicks asking me where I'd gone on vacation. Many of my friends do it anyway.

I agree with shiftkey, too.

Don't want to scare anyone, just a heads up.

"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.

TopDog I tan. It does make you look thinner and healthier. You'll look better compared to your whiter bro's. Nothing Evil with a guy tanning. Believe it or not, i often go with self tanners.

Don't you get your hands orange and end up looking like someone streaked you with turpentine?

The key is to apply the self-tan lotion in a circular motion and not up and down ( That causes streaks) It's always best to find the ones closer to your natural skin tone and just re-apply more if you want a darker tan. Meaning if your Pale as Madonna, then extreme deep-dark lotion may not be for you. Medium on the other hand...can. About tanning beds, my co-worker got skin cancer like that...and she still goes tanning anyway :confused: Tanning beds give off more UV light. I
ll post that link when i find it again. I find that's a safer alternative to the beds.:D

It's cheaper too. But then again the sun is free.

What up Dell,

Thanks for the info. I have heard the horror stories about the problems with skin cancer from tanning beds. I mean its not something that I plan on making too much of a habit. As you know this winter was f***in brutal in the Northeast and I got sick of everything on my body being as bright as my a$$. I kind of worry about those tanning creams, don't know if I would ever try that man, I had a buddy whose girlfriend turned orange because of that.

How often do you have to reapply the lotion? And how long does it take each time?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When applying the lotion it usually takes no more than 10 minutes. However, it's recommended to wait atleast 3 hours for it 2 really 'sink in'. As for re-applying: 3 days is a good 'touch up'
4-6 days if you want it to fade completely.


Peace

I might have to try it. I'm just about as white as casper, but I don't tan easily and I don't want to get skin cancer.

Dell which type do you use and where did you get it? I tried one by Coppertone for about $10 at a drug store. Makes my hands orange and has a strong oder (not unpleasant, but I'd prefer no oder). It lasts only 1 day for the full color, and keeps a little color the second day, but I still have to reapply every day to notice a difference.

Apparently tanning in sun beds ages your skin!

Im not sure if its as bad as the sun, but my advice would be just to get full advantage of the sun when it is out and shinning.
AND
not to wear tanning lotion, i think that makes you look a bit insecure and trying to hard, but then again its safer.
 

"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.

Are you guys serious about tanning beds causing cancer???

But that's due to a regular use of it isn't it? i mean, if you use it for 3 sessions of 12 or 16 minutes or so you don't get cancer just like that or do you?

Geezzz, that's creppy stuff.

Peace out

Machiavelli, you get it from continued use, just like continued tanning in the sun.

New, if you've done anything to improve your appearance whether it's hair gel, braces, or even nicer clothes - you're a hypocrite.

Theres these things called "Tan-Towlets" I heard they work really good. Its a lil towellete you rub on. Do a search.
 

"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.
