"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.

Why do we still not have a fashion section of the forum?

I was talking to a group of girls who seemed very "materialistic" (wearing expensive clothing/jewelry) and they were saying that they dress that way because they want the world to know how high they carry themselves and they are not low quality. Now whether they are high quality or not, they PERCEIVE guys who dress dorky, daft, tacky, and trashy as that because what else do they have to perceive you by?

I think a fashion section will be great for a lot of members who need help getting their foot in the door. I'm not the kind of guy to wear dress shirts and blazers everyday, but I still make sure I look on point with my outfits:

Here's an example of an outfit I'd wear.
 

"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.

I'm taking an educated guess by saying that the girls would most likely be talking about a guy wearing a dress shirt, etc. That outfit won't make you stand out. There are a lot of confused hippies out there. If you want to impress, you need to stand out. Try wearing an elegant, tailored if possible, dress shirt, throw a vest/blazer on top, and make your tie combines with your dress shirt. DS + vest or DS + blazer. It all depends on the look you want. Don't forget to use a pocket square as well if you go for the suit/blazer and tie. The tie clip is also important. Dress pants are a must. Try looking for a grey, dark, brown color. This is obviously depending on your outfit. Dress shoes to top it off. Oh, and cufflinks are a nice touch too.
