"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.

I abolsutely LOVE chuck taylors ( http://www.la-story.com/upload/2007/12/Converse_Chuck-Taylor-All-S.jpg )
and its because you can wear them with almost anything in the right color.
I got some extra cash laying around and I wanted to pick up another pair of shoes, but I wanted something as flexible as Chuck taylors. You can literally wear these things to any occasion and im curious if anyone else has a pair of sneakers that they could share so i could make a good purchase. pictures would be great
 

"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.

Very sweet. The only problem I have with high-top trainers is that I can't stand not having the tougue covered by my jeans. How do you wear them? Messy with the tougue showing or overalled by your jeans?

I'm relatively just Vans, Perry Boat deckshoes, Nike Air Max One/90s, Supra's, Air Force One, Asics Mexico 66, Lacoste and Lonsdale.
 

"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.

"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. You can't. Or you should not. They are not dress shoes and would never qualify IMO.

I had a pair of Chuck Tailors that I quite liked. They were grey denim and a nice pair of shoes, but they're made like crap. They fell apart and destroyed my socks in the process. I literally wore through the fabric on the inside by the heel, then worse through the rubber behind it to just the outside fabric. I'm certain if I'd continued wearing them that I would have had a giant hole in the back of my shoes. You're better off getting one of those environmentally friendly clones than you are buying the original ones made in sweatshops.

I don't have a ton of shoes. My go-to pairs right now are a basic black leather with red lace/accent pair of Creative Recreations and then my bigger Piloti G16s.

Have you actually tried training I'm these? It's not easy at all. My Dad got me a pair and I retired some low grade trail running I'm them. I was in soooo much pain the next few days.
No, I normally wear them at the beach easy to put on and off.
 

"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.

You have to run properly. Don't land on the heel.

Most shoes are like this. They have this huge cushion on the heel making you lazy. That's not the proper way, and it really doesn't help for speed and endurance.

It's not that,the protection and cushioning are fine. It's the fact that my toes were spreading free on on uphill over rocks and stuff. My shins got the brunt of it because the were flexing in unfamiliar ways.

Well, now I know what to expect. I've been looking at the five fingers for running instead of the Nike Free.

If your shins hurt, that means they're the weakest link. They'll strengthen.
