"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.

Appearance, and Clothing; A question about one of the most important factors in PU.

Clearly our appearance, dictated silently through the clothes we choose to wear helps, or hurts, our chances in meeting women. Shopping for good clothing is as important as taking our regular showers. Think about it, would you approach a woman who has a horrid taste in clothes? What we wear shapes our appearance, and our first impressions! This woman who wears sh@t for clothes sends out bad vibes... all the popular woman at school have an excellent style sense. They are hot, and what they wear extenuates that.

Furthermore, wearing the right clothes inherently increases our confidence level. Think about it: wouldn't you be more content with yourself when you wear what you like, and what you are comfortable in?

Now this brings to me to my question.

But, before I get to that... I am entering college soon, and the importance of first impressions are crucial. I will have a small supply of money (over 500 USD) per month until I graduate. It may increase, depending on how my grades (my parents cut a deal with me).

Now is it worth spending money on new clothing that's "in?" Undoubtedly, I love the styles. It really fits me, however is it WORTH it?

I can easily pick out what I like, and get it for college. But, how quickly do styles change? Is it worth investing all that money in new clothing? Or is it better to wait, and save the cash?

Note: My closest is pretty small. I do have a financial disadvantage, however the extra cash I will receive, is just that. Extra money that I could save, or do whatever I want - money for dates, etc.

What do you think is the best course of action?
 

"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.

Men's clothing styles have changed so little in like 50 years that I doubt anything you buy now is going to go out of style in 6 months...

Shoot I still rock stuff I bought years ago....if it fits wear it...

Now if your clothes are all tatered you might concider replacing them, but if they still look good wear them...

Lately I've been getting back into wearing polo shirts, something I haven't done in years...don't know why just haven't....but instead of sweaters, Tshirts, etc...I look/feel better and have been getting a little more attention than usual.... But I also have a ghetto preppy thing goin on, I don't know what you like to wear.

Just keep your eye out and see what other people are wearing...then you can adjust things to fit your own style...

I'm a complete prep - Polo, Abercrombie + Fitch (the jeans, the leathery bracelet, t-shirt), banana republic (kakis, button-up shirts), loafers, flip-flops... that kind of style. A professional/casual look.

So whatever I buy, it will be good for a year?

My clothes aren't ripped or anything, but I don't have a lot. I can list every item I have in two lines.

Here it goes:

#4 pants (three jeans, one kaki)
#1 Suit
#2 Jackets (Formal blazers, I suppose)
#4 T-Shirts + 2 polos
#4 Shirts + 2 long sleeve polo
#3 pairs of shoes
#2 Sweaters
#1 Jacket

That's basically it.

Get clothes that fit. Muscle fit shirts from Abercrombie & Hollister are pretty good. Try getting vintage wash jeans that have some worn areas on them. Don't get white sneakers for sure. Try darker colors.

As a general rule, look at what every other guy is wearing, and then DON'T WEAR THAT.
 

"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.

My style is pretty unique - at least in my neighborhood. I don't notice millions of people wearing what I would like to wear; a sign of uniqueness, I suppose?

Good points guys. Any other tips, or comments to my questions previously posted in this thread?
