"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.

so my question is: what have you guys found that looks like ed hardy, feels like ed hardy, smells like ed hardy, but is not expensive like ed hardy?
 

"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.

I bought a few tshirts recently that have tattoo-like designs on them, though not a crazy looking as the hardy shirts, I don't like all that colorful stuff with skulls and things. I paid between $8-$20 for mine. One of them I found at a 2nd hand store called Buffalo Exchange that is sort of a trendy thriftshop, that was the one I got for $8. You might want to see if you have such a store in your town.

Check out Nordstrom's Rack, they have designer stuff for a lot cheaper. Just picked up a Ben Sherman button down and skinny tie for 40 dollars.

Ask yourself why you like Ed Hardy, is it because everyone else does? I wouldn't be caught dead in the stuff myself, I think the designs are horrible for one, and everyone has them. I was literally stunned when I found out those piece of sh!t t-shirts sell for around 80 bucks, thats just assenine.
 

"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.

Wow!!!! I swear, things like that make me lose all faith in human beings, are people that easily influenced that they will spend money on garbage like that because of good marketing? Monkies!! The worst part is, the dudes I see wearing that trash, look like they spent their entire paycheck on those crappy shirts.

Honestly man, not to be a downer, but you really don't need that stuff. I know it's much easier said than done, but try to come up with your own style, not what everyone else thinks is cool. As far as some cool clothes, try Ross, two of the best dressed guys I know shop there.

JJ, I'm sure you can find some knock offs somewhere if you look around hard enough. I bought some fake Diesel jeans in Thailand for $15. Look and feel just as good as the real thing.

Hey, they're getting paid. Life would be worse for them if they had a $0 income.

I don't know wtf ed hardy is... But, if your doing it cause of other people are doing it... Stop it!

If you like that and want to wear it; that is cool. But, I'm not gonna start dressing Emo cause everyone else does it. Thats, a beta male trait. Alpha's lead and chumps follow.

Wear what YOU like, not what other people like.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
