"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Are Pleated pants out of fashion?

"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.

It depends on what you wear them with, they're either cool or they can make you look old.

in my eyes i wouldn't wear them unless my job required it, or for a special occasion. can't think of the last time i saw someone wearing them at a club or anything if that's what your asking.

wearing pleated pants is the equivelant to wearing a clip on tie.

please discard.
 

"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.

Ya, flat front is the way to go when it comes to suit and dress pant selection.

Some single pleat suits can still be pretty slick if the cut is nice, but very very rarely. And if it's double or triple pleats, should probably toss them out since you may look like someone's grandfather in them heh.

And if it's khakis, then flat front all the way.

We definitely need a fashion forum here to at least get the basics down.

I know since I have started wearing better shirts and pants and new shoes I am getting more attention from the ladies and respect as well. Today I was complimented on my new shirt it wasn't sexual but she said she really liked my shirt so something is definitely working so I am trying to get the pants down but looks like I will buy a couple more pair.

I buy my son pleated pants so on the few occussions he has to dress up the bottom of his pants dont' look like a war zone.

grown men should not have to wear pleated pants. not making fun of anything.. alot of guys just dnot' pay attention to fashion. My dad was big into dressing and therefore I was fortunate enough to pick up some fashion sense from my dad.

yes we do need some type of fashion forum.

at least your asking questions. that's good.

Go get you 2 good pair of ralph lauren pants, 1 tan and 1 navy blue.
