"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.

Where I be at
Alright here's the deal. I am 5'8, 125 lbs and I own mostly baggy jeans. After a couple episodes of "What Not to Wear" and realizing the stereotype I often fall into at first glance, Im looking to get some jeans that fit me and go well with a plain ole graphic tee and some sneakers. I only wear one pair of boots so Im not really going for boot cut jeans (or should I :confused: )

I wrote down the types they have at the store and put them in the poll...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Straight legs are coming back big. Not to say bootfits will ever go out, but if you want to be fashion-forward I'd go with a tighter straight-leg like the 505. Actually, if you're sold on Levi's go for the Rigid Skinner: raw, slim-fit denim (both trends are heating up) that you can pick up at most Levi's outlets for $30.

take a friend with you if you need too or a sister.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

If you're gonna get a semi dressy pair, don't get levis. Express for men has some good jeans. Some of them are fairly expensive, but women love them.

Get some combats.

I'd take a pair of Skinners over anything Express offers, but they're both pretty poor quality denim.
