"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.

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?
 

"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.

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 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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

nobody talks about it cause it doesn't matter
 

"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.

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.
