In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many people may use the term “lose a guy” when meaning the types of behavior that will make the guy lose interest or even do the job of breaking up so someone else doesn’t have to. It’s always better to take a direct approach to someone you’re not interested in seeing anymore. By the time the guy gets the hint, he’ll initiate a conversation where you will probably have to admit that you don’t want to be with him regardless. You can save you both time and frustration by just telling him how you feel to begin with.  For more information on how to do this, check out: How to Break Up with a Boy or How to Break Up with a Guy Nicely. Of course, if you simply want to compare your own relationship behavior to what could potentially cause you to lose the guy, then there are several things to avoid. Mutual respect is one of the most important aspects of a serious relationship with anyone. By lacking respect in a relationship, you essentially tell the guy that you don’t value him and don’t care about his concerns or priorities. Consistently putting your own concerns and priorities before his without any willingness to consider his is inherently disrespectful and one of the biggest ways people fall into this trap.  Disregarding his emotions and challenges as valid is just as disrespectful and hurtful as always putting your own first as well.  Keep in mind that respecting him doesn’t mean being subservient to him. This is still the 21st century. Respect goes both ways. One extreme pitfall of uncommunicative relationships especially is realizing that while you may love someone and feel obligated to the person, you still don’t particularly like the person. By not liking a guy you nonetheless love and remain with, you’ll often come across more angry or resentful, which he will in turn notice. The behavior can easily drive him away. Anyone in a relationship will open up, express vulnerabilities, and rely on a partner for help. One of the quickest ways to make a guy close up and run is to judge him for his flaws or shortcomings instead of being the safe place for him to be open about them. He’ll retreat even more quickly if you pair your judgmental behavior with explicit blame toward him for the flaws and shortcomings and then complain about him because of them to others. Trust is one of the strongest foundations on which people can build a relationships. By not trusting a guy, especially if he’s never given you a single reason not to trust him, you are likely to drive him away. This applies just as much to trusting his ability to make decisions as it does to trusting his fidelity. Trust enters multiple facets of a relationship. Regardless of sex, people usually want to run to a significant other in times of both great news and terrible news. Being unavailable when he needs support is a surefire way to make a guy pull away. This applies just as much to simply being emotionally disinterested in his celebrations and sorrows. Conflict is unavoidable in any relationship. Getting past a conflict is usually about calming down, meeting someone in the middle, and taking responsibility for one’s part in the fight. If you want to drive a guy away, never concede to any culpability in the conflicts that arise during the relationship. Everyone occasionally makes mistakes in relationships. The important part is that the mistake wasn’t dangerous, the person acknowledges the mistake and shows remorse for it, and takes steps not to repeat the mistake. If you want to lose the guy, refuse to forgive him in every situation regardless of how big or small the mistake and despite how well he has tried to fix it. By never taking responsibility and never forgiving him, you additionally end up keeping him on the hook for things that weren’t even his fault, which will really go a long way to losing him.
Summary: Consider being direct. Don’t respect him. Don’t like him. Be judgmental toward him. Don’t trust him. Be unreliable. Never take responsibility. Don’t forgive him.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Because the wax will need to thoroughly adhere to any hair on your underarms, you need the hair to be at least .25 inches (0.6 cm) in order to use waxing as your method of hair removal. If your hair is too short, give it another few days before attempting to wax. Trim down any hair that is more than an inch long to prevent any complications or difficulties when waxing. If the hair under your arms is very long, it could make waxing more painful than necessary. Trimming especially long underarm hair prior to waxing can help alleviate this. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub, or simply a washcloth to exfoliate your underarms. This will remove any dirt from your pores and help prevent ingrown hairs when you are ready to wax. Try making your own gentle exfoliating scrub with a tablespoon of baking soda and enough mineral water to make a thin paste. Use your fingertips or a washcloth to gently rub the paste against your underarms, then rinse with warm water. Wax will not function properly if you apply it to wet skin. Before applying the wax, make sure your underarms are completely dry. This means no leftover water from exfoliating, and no sweat. You can even try dusting a little baby powder onto your underarms to ensure they are entirely dry. A bit of baby or talcum powder can also help alleviate a bit of the pain associated with waxing, so even if your armpits are dry, consider dusting on a light layer for your own comfort. Some waxing products can be applied cold or at room temperature, while others need to be warmed to be used. Whichever product you’re using, follow all directions on the bottle or box. This will ensure the product works its best. Make sure you stretch your arm up over your head and keep the skin of your underarms as tight as you can. This will help you make sure you apply the waxing strip evenly over your entire underarm, and insure you are able to wax away all hair. After you wax your underarms, you will want to soothe the skin. You can use a normal moisturizer, specifically one with soothing ingredients like aloe. Or, you can use a product made specifically for use after waxing. These products are available at drugstores. They not only soothe the skin after waxing, but can also help protect your freshly waxed follicles from infection or further irritation. Directly after waxing and prior to applying any cream or gel, you can also try putting an ice cube against your freshly waxed skin. The ice can numb the skin and soothe it instantly after waxing to prevent extra pain.
Summary:
Make sure hair is at least a quarter of an inch long. Exfoliate your underarms before waxing. Make sure your underarms are dry. Follow the directions on your chosen waxing product. Use an after-waxing lotion or gel.
