"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.

What have girls you know said about the smell from these body sprays, deodarants, shampoos, and body wash? And if they liked it, what scent was it?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I use the body wash and the spray for when i feel moist. Id rather go to wal-mart and buy 8$ cologne that smells 5x better. I would use the shampoo as well cause everything else sucks. I think they should make some axe lotion or some sh*t.

I have used Axe before, especially during times when I've been broke, and I've received plenty of compliments from women on smelling good. If they aren't the type of chick who actually knows what all the thousands of various fragrances out there smell like (most don't, despite what some would have you think), she won't know the difference. If they ask what I'm wearing I just make some name up, they don't know the difference.

Chick: "ooooh, What are you wearing?"

Me: "Oh that's nothin'... just some Eclipse Effect from the mall. You like that do you? You aren't gonna attack me like in the ads for those cheap body sprays are ya?"

Chick: [giggles, mock attacks me]

Me: "If you think I smell good, imagine how I taste..."

I think they smell foul and they're ubiquitous, but the advertising campaign is very effective.
 

"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.

My brother bought some Axe body wash the other week.. I took a sniff and immediately thought that he had lost his mind. You might as well cleanse yourself with a day-old tuna.

Same goes for the body spray- spend the money on some good cologne (used very sparingly) and get a body wash that'll leave you smelling fresh. It's not rocket science.

Do you try to get unscented products, then? The stuff made by the cologne companies is ridiculously expensive. With a different fragrance in shampoo, body wash, soap, deodorant, hair gel, and lotion, and then putting cologne on top of that, we have a lot of different scents at the same time.
 

"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.

Kilo smells so freakin' good. In all honesty colognes I wear don't get me any extra attention they just get me a compliment every now and then.

KILO. Kilo is hands down the best axe frag. I prefer a nice cologne and a mild soap like dove. If you must use axe get the deo, body wash and spray for best effect.

Well I just went to Target and tested some of the scents. I liked the smell of Kilo and Snake Peel. Not a whole lot more enticed me. I thought they sold Shampoo in the clear bottles but those were also body washes which I don't like to use I like using bar of soaps. I also wish they sold deodarants in gel too. I just don't really see a reason to pay about a dollar extra for Axe when you get get stuff like Old Spice products for cheaper.

Most of the people i hang out with at lunch smoke,so we always have a few cans of Axe,or tag rollin around in floorbords,glove compartments,ect,ect.They are good for killin the smoke smell,but as an all day thing,i useuly have a deal of setsion,or some stuff called avatior,i think, layin around my truck.Both smell pretty good when used right,and most of the girls around town love the avatior.
 

"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.

Axe and Tag bodysprays are for teenage boys.
