"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

is wearing a evening cologne like dolce gabanna /armani code during the day time a social faux pas? i just bought both after some sampling but it turns out both colognes are recommended for "evening use"...does this mean i can't wear them to school or work?

does wearing cologne have its traditions like not wearing socks with sandals or shoes and belt not matching?

curious
 

"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.

No, that's not what it means.


Yes, some colognes will "work" better with different attire. For example, I personally, would prefer to wear Drakkar Noir with a formal outfit, such as a tux for prom or something, where as Cool Water or Curve: Crush when I'm just hitting the movies.

that's them trying to maintain their scents' cachet, by getting everyone to associate that smell with dapper young men.

wear it whenever the hell you want.

I dunno about the dolce gabanna, but I wore armani code to school last term and I got at least two compliments a day about how nice I smelled.
I wear code of an evening, every girl I know has told me how nice I smell...

In the Archives there is this like 15+page discussion on colognes make a search for it and it should give you tons of diff colognes and when they work best...

but my recommendation is go to store, grab a whole lot of cologne samples and try em out at different day times. That will give you a good idea of what works... since colognes react differently from person to person.
 

"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.

there is no such thing as morning and evening colognes, there are diff types of cologne such as a musky or a spice or a freashness scent...wear what ever you want.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
