"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.

I'm sure some you of guys have problems buying shirts. They fit fine in the shoulders but they are a freaking dress in the waist. I need some casual dress shirts for my new job and wondered where to find something that fits the bill and doesn't require a tailor.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Tailoring isn't that expensive. I know Mr. Big and Tall does tailoring on every shirt you buy. You can also get shirts altered at small tailoring shops.

It's a shame that shirts for people with normal stomachs are hard to find, but the business is just catering to it's customers.

Thank god I get free scrubs at the hospital! My shoulder girdle is around 52-54", chest is 44" and waist is 32". I've talked to a seamstress and she said that most dress shirts have about even athletic cut shirts have about a 6-8" difference between the chest and the waist. I have closer to a 12" difference, so I always get mine taken in.

Just buy 17" neck dress shirt and have a tailor take them in. It costs around 15-20/shirt here, but its well worth it because it fits so much better.

I know man! Or when you buy a jacket/pants combo and the pants are way too wide! And if you want "athletic cut" suits then you have to pay 200$ extra, ha.

I must admit I buy shirts that fit at the shoulder and ask my mom if she can narrow them at the waist... she's a real pro ;)

A&F and Hollister have some classic shirts that might fit the bill, they are pretty extreme muscle fit, gotta be getting down there around the mid section to wear them IMHO
 

"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.

It's hard man. I really like Express dress shirts, but I can barely fit into their XL, which is their biggest size. If I go to Macy's or whatever and get an XXL it's like a damn dress and too baggy around my waist.

Some brands make stretchy shirts, which are freaking awesome. I think Alfani does?
