"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.

And no, I don't mean places like Ross (impossible to find anything because it's so disorganized) and Burlington Coat Factory (too ghetto). What are some good places to get luxury clothes at huge discounts?

The best I've found so far is the Neiman Marcus Last Call clearance center. I got a pair of Energie jeans (normally $190) for 46 dollars today, and I saw other deals anywhere from 50% to 90% off on True Religion, Seven, Grail, Paper Denim, Prada, Gucci, etc. There are only sixteen of these places in existence though, and this one is 50-60 miles from my house (it's literally about 200 yards north of Tijuana - you stand outside the store and you're staring over the border fence).
 

"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.

The best thing to do would be to get to know your local boutique owners. They'll let you know when they're having sales. Sales at boutiques tend to be around 50% off or more, since they don't do high volume sales and don't have much stock space. This will also ensure that you're keeping up with trends.

Depends on how "expensive" you're looking for. The big discount stores like some Marshalls/TJ Max/Filene's Basement/etc seem to have lots of nice clothes for some pretty big discounts depending on the store.

Look for outlet malls. They're usually out in the boonies but it's worth the drive a couple of times a year if you stock up. Also, I wouldn't completely forgo Burlington Coat Factory. They have become more "urban" in recent years but they still carry Kenneth Cole, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger along with some other prominent designers.

I was also about to recommend outlets. There is a Nautica outlet near me. It's last year's stuff at about 1/4 to 1/2 the original msrp.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
