"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.

Does a nice sense of style/good clothing really help?

I've always thought that it doesn't really make a difference as long as you're able to make a good face-to-face impression, but I've been talking to some female work colleagues lately and it seem that a good sense of style, good clothing and being well-groomed goes a long way.

Have you guys noticed a positive difference when you started actually taking more care of your appearance/what you wear?

Obviously it won't be a life-changing difference, I'm thinking more in the sense of attention it gets from women, checking you out, commenting and complimenting on what you wear, etc.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Grooming yourself definitely does. It shows girls you are willing to take the time to make yourself look better. I'm not too sure about clothes, but I'd assume the same. Personally I dress really nice but because I want to. I have a really good fashion sense and love all of that, so naturally I like to dress up as well. I've gotten lots of compliments from guys and girls on how I dress so I guess it certainly doesn't hurt me.

Yes absolutely.

I can't stand wearing a suit. I'm a street guy and a blue-collar guy and running around in a suit doesn't work for me. I feel stupid and uncomfortable. I wear suits at funerals and weddings only.

A high percentage of my one-night stand lays have come at weddings (not funerals you sickos!) so the suit must be adding to the overall impact of weddings.

I think this is a no-brainer, um, duh!

Also, teeth are huge. Floss yo's! Ever go near some dude at work who has a mouth that smells like something died in it? Yeah, he doesn't floss.

My friend-girls, many times, have commented on how teeth are almost number one.
