"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

I'm kind of a cologne nut, so here is what I've used. These colognes have gotten the most favorable comments from women.

"Polo Blue"
"Joop"
"Chrome"
"L'eau D'Issey"
"Desire Blue"

My personal favorite is "Chrome". In my opinion, it has a nice "soapy" scent that's not overpowering. It's also quite cost effective.
 

"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.

is it good to go with old classics that girls know or new smells that girls haven't heard of yet?

I have a small bottle of this stuff called Curve Crush in my collection, dunno if its even still available, but chicks seem to dig it.
 

"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.

"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.

Xeryus. Might have to buy it online, not many stores carry it. Atleast it's that way around here.

O.K. Im gonna break it down nice and easy. These are all you will need.
"Spark" by Liz Claiborne(Casual)
"Chrome" By Arazzo(Casual or Evening)
"Allure" by Chanel(Hands down the best I have ever smelt)
"Boss In Motion" by Hugo Boss(Daytime only,citrusy)
"Design for Him" by Paul Sebastain(sp?),"Raw Vanilla" by Coty and "Curve Crush",these three are my "junkers" sort of speak as I dont wear them on dates because I have plenty better but they are good for a change of pace.

My friend has some Arabic cologne he brought back from Jordan,that stuff is amazing!

I was thinking about getting Allure last weekend. Never smelt it, someone told me it was great though. Now I'm seeing here. Probably pick it up tomorrow.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
