"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.

Have you guys experimented with this at all? Any effect on women?
 

"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.

I wear a cologne that I get regular compliments on from females while walking in public. It makes for a great conversation opener. Girls I date obsess over it.

It can be an easy conversation opener if you are hanging out at the bar...I can't tell you how many times a conversation started with a female telling me I smelled good.

Like muscles, cologne can do work for you and make your life easier

I've had girls I work with say I smell good when I stick some cologne on but that's about it. Never a random chick opening a convo.

Of course smelling awful is going to destroy your chances with anyone, so if you have the chance to smell good why wouldn't you? I think it gives you an additional shade of personality too - if you and your clothes always smell of a particular masculine fragrance, it becomes unique to you.
 

"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.

Yes if you are seeing a girl and keep wearing the same scent they will love it, even if they didn't originally

Who the fukk cares? Just wear what you like. Anything you do for the sake of women is the wrong frame and will, eventually turn them off.

This has nothing to do with "frame" or "alpha" or any of that other BS people like to espouse everything in life has to do with.

A lot of Europeans dont wear deodorant and smell like walking pigpens from 20 feet away, I am supoosed to believe because I wear deodorant I have the wrong frame? This sh!t is common sense.

It has to do with making your life easier in regards to getting an end result.

You must always smell nice and wear cologne, it's what I've been taught from family members from young.
 

"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.

Scent is a big deal. Cologne is like frosting on a cake. Sure the cake is the main part but he frosting can lure someone in.

Men should have 5 colognes and purpose is for what you doing.

You were a different cologne at work then you out at night or during the day etc.

My prior lineup was
Givenchy PI
Armani Attraction
Diesel Fuel
Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana
Kenneth Cole Signature


Each of those vary quite a bit, Cole was more for conservative occasions. Light Blue was for outdoor activities or when you wanted a light fresh scent. Fuel is an aggressive scent. Attraction is a in your face scent and PI makes you smell like Vanilla which can get some women arosed but on a subtle basis.

Start small and experiment. Colognes very from person to person based on how they react to our skin. Subtlety is much more valuable than an assault on the senses in most cases.

Pay attention to how women react to you wearing a cologne.

I wore Versace and didn’t get compliments. But I get compliments when I wear Cool water and Polo. Go figure.

I'm halfway through a bottle of Calvin Klein Euphoria. It has been well-received.

That's interesting that "light blue" scents are now around. Some of the 'blue' colognes are a touch heavy. I have an old bottle of Issey Miyake Blue - it would be a great club or bar cologne, but is too strong to wear in most places.

Seriously guys Tom Ford - Private Blend.

I smelt it on some dude who walked past who I thought must have been an angel, went and bought myself some and get questioned weekly on it. It’s pricey but oh so worth it. Best scent on the market in 2018, go and test it in a store and tell me it’s not fvcking heaven.

Edit: my boss bought me Armani Code yesterday for my bday, it bangs.

The point here is if you are wearing the right cologne, you will have women open you! If you guys don't like women opening you then just keep wearing what you are wearing. The same thing applies to shoes.
