"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Fashion: identify this jumper jacket

"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.

Looks very feminine and metrosexual. Won't help with getting pus.
Ok. I have follow up questions:
  1. What are examples of jackets that aren't feminine/metro?
  2. I'm considering wearing square diamond earrings. I have an inclination for it, so I will be comfortable with it; Beckham and Ronaldo wears it and I guess they're considered sex symbols. I think it's a hip hop thing too. What is your general take on such earrings?
  3. Such earrings combined with a jacket of that kind would be too much or tricky, I'd say. What jacket would you combine with such earrings, that according to you don't look feminine?
 

"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.

What look are you trying to go after? If you are a celebrity, such as Ronaldo or Beckham, then you can have your own style. If you're a regular dude and you dress like that; prob. not going to attract the females. They have instant credibility since they are professional athletes. Dressing like Michael Jackson w. earrings will probably bring you attention; just not the attention you are looking for. Are you looking for girls as friends? Or are you looking to have sex with these girls?

Check out this jacket:

I'm interested in the same model or similar. Any tips for it or close by brands are appreciated. I'm somewhat familiar with usual Swedish brands/sites.

Just realised I have no male friends interested in fashion -- a problem. I like clothes, but not browsing for hours.
Leather jackets are sex symbols and synonyms of "bad boys". However, they are not all created equal, and not all wear it with the appeal it requires.

This, my friend, is not a good example of this. A white leather jacket worn like that reminds me of MJ in the good ol' days. And not in a good way.

Sorry, I can't help you find this feminine jacket.

You can find a range of accessories that will work well with a black leather jacket. Consider adding a statement scarf, colorful beanie, fashionable hat, or bold jewelry to complete your look. If you want to keep it simple, try accessorizing with a timeless pair of sunglasses or stylish belt.
 

"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.

I do believe there should be a separate section for men style , fashion and care products. Highly underrated aspect of being a DJ. With the right style any man can up his SMV some points. Just a suggestion for the mods. A mega thread or a section dedicated to style and products.

OP whenever you send an example people tend to compare, or associate you with the picture . This dude wears a jacket that isnt too bad, but;
you MUST have developed big shoulders.
Jackets like these tend to be small.
That shirt under his jacket is atrocious.
White is a shyte color for any jacket.

Generally speaking leather jackets are a bytche . You dont wanna be too greedy when purchasing a leather jacket, imo the higher end brands are simply better fitting. Go to a established store that sells them, try a LOT and dont be scared to spend some money on it ( so the seller can rather help with expert advice, instead of having you feeling like they try to sell you something. )
