"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.

Has anyone used wrinkle cream to keep facial skin moist?

I am using it now.

Does wrinkle cream work at all?
 

"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.

no. wrinkle cream is all advertising, the product itself will have minimal effects on wrinkles, if any.

Vaseline and 100% aloe juice if you really need it for the Vitamin E.

Cheap, almost as effective if not better than all this expensive sh*t and proven for decades to work.

(copy pasted from a post I made on this forum about a month ago)

Most visible aging is the result of UV radiation from sunlight. A GOOD daily sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation should be helpful for that. Anthelios SX is a good one. It's expensive, but provides the most comprehensive protection of any product available in the U.S., at least to my knowledge. If anyone knows of a better one, let me know.

Otherwise, generic things like eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise, drinking a lot of water, getting your EFAs, and not sleeping on your face can all have a positive impact on how you wrinkle and age as time goes on.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Night: Adapalene gel (Differin) / Tretinoin (Retin-A)... it's used to treat acne by making skin turn over quicker... which can also cause skin to stay elastic-y.

Morning: Alpha-hydroxy Acid based Moisturizer such as Neutrogena

Cheaper solution free of chemicals: Apple cider vinegar. It really works.

Hemeroid cream is supposed to be very good under the eyes.
