"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.

But the dark seems to be fading gradually.
Im pretty sure I've figured out how to prevent that. Applying TOO much to the undereye causes that for me - whether its the same for you I dunno. Try to get a minor glazing on it, thats what I do and its fine.
 

"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.

Hey guys,

Just something i've found to be helpful with the gel.

Lately i've been putting it on as usual after the shower, but waiting about 40 mins then very gently wiping it off with my finger and cold water.

I think it gives it long enough to absorb into the skin, so just the right amount goes in, then washing away all the rest which may irritate later on in the night.

Its making the under eye less redder in the morning.

BTW, has anyone seen any improvement yet?

Cheers :)

Pete
 

"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.

Hey Lost,

I'd say once a day at night would be best, it might irritate too much with 2-3 times a day.

Just take it slow and it should be fine.

Sure Jimbo, its a long story but :)

Well, it was more a process of elimination really.

My undereyes were really getting dark, almost kind of bruised looking. It really wasnt helping with the ladies, cos apart from them i'm an ok looking guy.

So i went into my local store and brought some skin moisteriser stuff (embarrased to say it was Olay!). And gave that a go. It actually made things a bit better suprisingly!

But it wasnt working like I wanted it too. So I did a search on the net for under eye creams and came across what they were calling a miracle cure for the circles. Vitamin K cream.

So I went to the local chemist here and found some. It was really expensive, but i was desperate so i brought it.

It worked quite well, but it was slow. I could see changes, but it was taking weeks. Then one morning I woke up and all the area was worse than red, blotchy and scary looking.

I shat myself, well freaked out and vowed to never use it again.

I was at work thinking i might need to see a dermatologist if things didnt get better, which made me think of, of all things, a Seinfeld episode where Jerry dates a dermatologist. And Jerry and George say the whole dermatology business is "Put some aloe on it".

So i thought f*ck it, I'll try aloe. Went back to the chemist and looked at the back of the jars and stuff. And one had a list of all the vitamins that Aloe contains. Vitamin K was one.

So i gave it a go and all the red scaryness disappeared over night and from there things got better very quickly. So I posted here because I was so impressed :)

I know how bad it can be to have the dark circles so I wanted to let everyone know how I got rid of mine.

I must say i'm a bit concerned when people say they get reactions from it, because I know how bad that can be. But I honestly never had anything bad happen from using it. Its been a while now too.

Thanks for asking Jimbo!
Anyway, How are yours looking? Any better?

I have been using this Lumineyes stuff by Mary Kay for about a month now and my dark circles are greatly reduced. They aren't gone but they're much better. I also started using a creme with alpha lipoic acid but it's too early to tell what effect it's having. Another importaqnt tip for getting rid of dark circles is to reduce caffeine and increase water intake. I recently gave up soda and am drinking loads of water. My skin in general has improved from this.

i read this thing in cosmo about using a concealer for ur undereyes.. and it said to like damp it on in dots... and then just press down on those spots...... instead of spreading it (which worsens dark circles it said)
so i figure ill try this with the aloe.......... ? but... i dont think it would really spread if ur just pushin on the spot wher u first placed the aloe???
 

"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.

insteada putting all these cremes on ur eyes (which can be bad for your face in the future) you all should just get enough sleep...stop going online all day...drink 8 glasses of water a day...eat healthy and exerciese!! thats all u gotta do and they'll go away by itself!!

plus once u start using the aloe, ur eyes become dependant on it and you need more and more of it!

Your eyes won't become dependent on aloe or any other skin care product. Sure sleep is important but lack of rest is not the only reason for dark circles. Allergies, genetics, diet, smoking, and a whole bunch of other things can be the culprit. Taking care of your skin, eyes, face, or whatever is important, and aloe and other creams can be beneficial in this regard.

I have little bumps underneath my eye that are clogged pores.

Does anyone have any recommendations for this?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

There is some commercial on TV where it shows a chick with cucumbers on her face, and then shows a guy just using a quick moisturizer by NIVEA. I may start giving that a try, but I"m not sure what the exact brand of NIVEA it is.

ANywyas........ Ricky... did u ever find that thing u were talking about?>
 

"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.
