"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I wrote a thread about how I like blazers b/c of its looks. I purchased a J Crew Midnight blazer which was around 345 total including taxes and shipping. It is midnight... dark blue what it looks black if you don't really look closely.

I wanted to also buy those blazers that are brownlike/grayish that goes with blue jeans. I saw one on banana republic but regretted not purchasing it because when i logged onto the site today, it was sold out.

I also see a blazer on macys but they dont have it my size

http://www1.macys.com/catalog/produc...xx.esn_results

Does anyone know where i can get blazers that look like this? I already have a midnight one and want something like this. I checked Banana, Express, Club Monaco, AX and can't find something like this.

I wear a 38R. Someone offered to sell me this exact blazer but said no less than 500 dollars but I can't really pay that much for it. I was hoping for between 200-350 dollars like the J Crew Midnight blazer i bought.

Anyone can help? Someone showed me one on ebay that was same brand but the whole color pattern was entirely different.

Thanks.
 

"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.

The Macy's link wasn't valid however check out www.menswarehouse.com. They carry boatloads of styles and sizes. If there's a store in your area stop in. They carry much more than they show online.

Would you say those 2 sportcoats go well with blue jeans? i don't plan to wear them with khakis or matching pants.

Like the one i showed with the guy wearing that blazer with jeans.
 

"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.

eh... i don't think that is my style. I'm 21 so i don't think that style really fits me. I already have a midnight Jcrew blazer so i wanted another one preferarably like the i had in my link.

a lot of those blazers from mens warehouse look a bit old fashion.

I try not to do the "trendy" thing with jackets since they go out of style in a year. Shoes and shirts are fine since they are typically less expensive but it can still add up if you have buy a new wardrobe a couple of times a year to keep up with the trends. Besides, it's the man that makes the clothes... ;)

Blazers are typically for the more mature. The one from Macy's may look youthful but it actually looked kinda cheap.

But, if you want trendy check out something like:

Next year you'll see vests and double breasted jackets coming back.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I will give the most important tip I have ever given on this forum.

SUITS!!!!1


A good suit never goes out of style. 80% of my wardrobe are suits.. I love to dress up anyway.. not all business suits. There are different types of suits. I don't wear a business suit when I'm going out on a date. But throw on a nice suit, take the tie off and unbutton the top of the button down shirt.... classic.

get your suits fitted for the love of god. nothing is worse than seeing a guy looking like he has Halloween's custom on when he is wearing a suit.

I stopped buying blazers a year and a half ago.. when I realized if I wanted to do the whole blue jean/blazer thing (which I don't do anymore) I can use one of my suit jackets.

I can also take the trousers and throw on a nice fitted shirt and go out.

suits are like the best thing ever for men. of course I have blue jeans and shorts for around the house/grocery shopping... but invest in some good suits.

www.kinowear.com has good advice on blazers and (straight) men's fashion.

I've found that the blazers at Zara are good all around. Whatever you do, make sure you get it tailored right after you buy it. As in, the next stop after purchasing the blazer is to the tailor.

Spending a few hundred on a blazer and not getting it tailored is like buying a luxury car and not taking care of the exterior.
