"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.

Today I was out with a group of girls (just friends) and some guy was wearing an orange shirt with army fatigue shorts, it really looked bad. Now granted he was good looking and the girls said "He can get away with wearing that".

It seems like if you're good looking people think whatever you wear looks good. Yet if an ugly guy was wearing it he'd look like an idiot. Why is this?
 

"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.

Because they are too busy noticing the hot guy, clothes are a secondary thought. If an ugly guy is wearing that, the ugly blows right past them and the clothes become the primary thought.

since when did american broads become fashion gods? aren't we talking about the same group that likes to wear flip-flops all the freaking time? american broads still remind me of linebackers (low to the ground and really wide).

in rich/metro areas american girls can be hot and dress really nice...

but yeah, in most smaller cities and ****ty burbs they definitely lack and kind of class/fashion sense.

but hey, it pretty much applies to american guys as well.

Why do you think all the clothing companies in the world pay big money to have good looking people modeling for their cloths?
Because they look good, as long as the cloths are fit, no matter what they wear, they look good.
And they make us believe that it's because of what they are wearing. And we will pay big money to buy their cloths that are (most of the time) after all quite "common".
Have you guys ever had things like a Ralph Lauren polo (basically a simple polo with a guy riding a horse stamp on it) or a Yves Saint Laurent shirt (basically a nice but simple shirt with the famous "YSL" logo on it) or something similar from other famous brands? It's more about brand image than any intrinsic value.

its the way you carry your clothes. its the man who makes the clothes. every don juan should know that by now. early on, we are given a set of rules. then we are actually taught to break them. fashion is no exception.

this is an interesting topic of discussion.
But i think Le Parisien may be making a good point...who knows it could be true.

fashion is very opinionated anyway, something can look great one day and the next day it's garbage.
