"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.

I hardly see any threads discussed on the significance of fragrance and how it can sometimes help on the approach. I've found that girls are pretty responsive if you use their perfume as an excuse to start a conversation. If you wear something nice, you might get opened yourself. I also find that a spray can enhance my confidence. But of course this should be really solidified in your core game, but we have to start somewhere. So what are your fragrance gems?

My most inoffensive fragrance is Hugo Boss Boss Bottled. It lasts all day. stays fresh and projects like mad so I go easy on it.

My most suggestive is Boucheron Jaipur in EDP concentration. It stays close to the skin and draws people in.

Most masculine and 'alpha male' is Guerlain's Vetiver. it's not even sweet, notes of grass and tobacco. A beauty! Projection is also awesome.

What are your favourite fragrances?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Hugo Boss Energize is a real subdued but manly fragrance.

Other than that, I've always been a pretty firm user of Armani's Aqua Di Gio (even though everyone has started using it in the past 5 years)

Curve isn't all that bad either.

"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.

Gents, loose Cool Water, Curve, Acqua di Gio when picking up women, odds are they've smelled it before and will not think of you when they smell it on you.

Try out these

Armani - Attitude
D&G - The One
Diesel - Fuel for Life
L'instant de Guerlain

Romance (Silver) by Ralph Lauren is the one that I've been wearing and it makes any girl melt. It smells so good, even if I'm staying in all day, I just love having it on, huge boost of self esteem.
 

"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.

Burberry touch smells like cash money. I was at a bar and some nasty lady told me i smell like a million bucks. Givenchy is pretty badass too.

"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.

Actually, this is a nice thread. Some good recommendations made here. I think I'm going to ditch Axe body spray since women in the grocery store haven't been jumping me lately.

Elstud, go home under your bridge.

Anyways. Hugo Boss In Motion is the best perfume EVER. I get comments from girls every time I wear it. I have had girls rub themselves against me just so they could smell like it. No, im not kidding. It is THE perfume, all my friends love it, all the girls that I have been with love it and most importantly: I love it.

When I lived in italy, a group of girls actually did a poll for the girls in the school and 90 % agreed that In Motion by Hugo Boss was the best. I also enjoyed getting compliments from strangers smelling me.

Abercrombie Fierce, I've received so many compliments about it and random girls just start chatting me up saying how good I smell.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
