"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.

Hi

I am a high school student, and I take a shower everyday, wash my face, etc, etc.

I thought of using deodorant sprays and the i was thinking about using Axe.

Do girls like axe?
which one should I use? (theres like a million different Axes XD)
How do I use it and how much?


Thanks
 

"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.

Dude, whatever you do, Don't get axe.
Not only does it not last very long, majority of girls have experienced some douche drenched in that cheap crap ($5 a can).
Its just so over used, that really it puts you into three categories automatically:
-trend follower (you believe this stuff will get you ladies)
-Cheap
-Just another guy (you never want to be classified into the just another guy who wears that axe crap)

go out to your local mall, go pick up something not too expensive (you can find a decent cologne for $30). Make sure the smell is not overwhelming or strong and is something fresh and interesting to smell.
If you have some lady friends, i highly recommend you take them with you when you go shopping for cologne. They can give you some great advice and will help you choose something that actually smells appealing to girls.

apply to your:
-neck (2 sprays at max)
-front of your shirt (1-2 sprays)
-rub some: on your wrists, and behind your ears (ask any girl about why these are good spots)
you should already be wearing some sort of stick deodorant on your pits.

Thats it, your set.
Not only will a decent cologne smell unique and interesting, it will also last you the whole night and not just for a few hours.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Also important: if you have long(ish) hair, think about the fragrance of your shampoo.
The scent of your washed hair is often much stronger than your cologne/deo - up to a day after washing, depending on how much hair you got ;)

Also, when applying ANY kind of scent to your body, never overdo it. Your nose quickly adapts to the fragrance and so you might get tricked into thinking you haven't applied enough, when in reality the whole room is already drenched ;)

Some girls like it, some hate it. If you want something cheap, I prefer Old Spice to Axe.

A good cologne is better than both

axe deoderant = okay
axe bodyspray = lame

go get some real colonge. Armani, Desil, Enternity, Chrome. Go to some upscale stores and ask for help from one of the cute girls behind the counter and find a scent that really works with your body chemistry.

When you go shopping for colonge, make sure you are clean, use unscented soaps (so it doesn't affect the smell) and don't wear any colonge that day.

Spray different samples on each wrists...walk around for a while and see if the scent changes.

(its also a good pickup technique, ask a girl which smells better)

A good fragrance is worth the money you spend it on it. It sets you apart from the crowd of teenage boys all smelling like 5 dollar axe bottles. If you don't have the cash, ask your parents for a loan. Ask for an advance on allowance, or ask for it now as a pre-birthday/holiday present. Or go get a job or ebay some of your usless crap you have laying about. Good luck.

"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.

DONT buy into the lie that is axe, haha. It smells bad, and the others are right, it's way overused. I usually only wear deoderant to school, but i wear cologne if I dress up for some reason (i enjoy dressing classy every once in a while, not too fancy, just a sweater and collared shirt and slacks, etc), and I put it on whenever i go out with friends to see a movie or any place ill be hanging out with chicks. I read on here that the reason you should do that is because it gets girls used to the idea that they have to be close to you to smell the delicious smell. Also, make sure its something unique, not like Adidas or old spice, splurge and get a nice cologne. Its fun when you hug a girl, she pulls you closer and says "mmmm you smell really good"
I use Pleasures for Men by Estee Lauder

Whatever you decide to use, dont over-do it. Wreaking of axe or cologne and being smelt from 10 feet away is just not good.

Has anyone ever smelled 'BOD' body spray?

That stuff is laughably bad. I consider AXE to be in the same territory.

Seriously, AXE is for 13 year old boys. The advertisements are proof of this.

I am stunned how many 20 year olds use that crap.

You can always tell that the axe shiv people buy was on sale for 2 for $5 at Wallgreens, Dont buy it. Get a real cologne.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'm bouncing around between two colognes these days. Diesel and Ed Hardey's Love Luck. They're both priced around $60, but they work wonders. I would just recommend going to a store that sells hundreds of different colognes and try a few out and see what you like. Axe isn't very good. It smells nice, but you and half of your class will be wearing it. If you want real results then you're going to have to invest in a little bit of money. My wingman uses some stuff called Animale which works really well for him, it's a little cheaper too around $30. Try some different colognes out and see what works well with your body. We all have different pheromones so colognes act differently to certain people, see what's best for you. The people at stores are usually very helpful.

I think the people have spoken Squelchy. Time to grab yourself a can of axe and lather on that sex repelent.

In my opinion, the more obscure the better. You don't want to smell like every other freshmen in your high school. Find the cutest looking girl at the snobbiest looking store, she'll probably be able to point you in the right direction. But of course by the time you read this you should have already gone to the store and picked yourself out something nice, because now it's old news for you.

You guys are being way too hard on Axe.

I think that the main problem with it is that the majority of kids who use it spray on a 1/4 can a day. Personally, I wear it to work or on an average day just being out and about. It smells nice, and lord knows it's better to smell nice than stinky. That said, I'd rather smell like B.O. than a cologne bath. It seems like everybody gravitates to either Axe Essence or the Decadent variety. My favorite scent of it (actually the only one I'll wear from AXE) is Kilo. The one with the green on the can. No body uses it, and it smells great.

If your going out clubbing/on a date however, spring for a bottle of real cologne. It shows some class. My brand is Cool-Water. Just go to a department store, bring a girl with you, and try on some different colognes. For under $50, you can get a bottle that if you use right will last you quite a while.

Axe is good. Just don't spray too much, obviously. I used kilo and now have a vice spray. It smells good and girls have told me so, only thing is it isn't too classy since it's used by a lot of people, and is easily identified as axe usually. But still, I'm a soph in hs, i don't gotta be that classy atm, I still smell great.

I do one (split second) sprits to front/back of neck, sometimes down shirt, on wrists then rub wrists around neck and that area. No one has ever told me i have too much on/it smells bad/it's overpowering, and I've gotten plent of compliments on it.
