"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.
Here's How To Make Yourself Good Looking

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is one of the biggest mistakes that many guys make in my opinion, everyone tucks their shirt in. It amazes me that guys even tuck cheap tee shirts in. I tuck in my shirt when I go to a more formal event like court or if I am going to be speaking in public. If I am wearing a tie or wearing a suit with no tie. Other than these rare situations I never tuck it in, regardless of the shirt I am wearing.
Having said this, fit is also very important. Many including myself have shirts that are too big, guys often wear shirts that are one size too big. Even on shirts that are the correct size where the sleeves are cut makes a huge difference. This is one of the great things about Express Mens/Structure. You will notice that if you have a slim and/or built body the shirts fit you better than you would get at many other stores.
Girls like to see the muscle in your arms so wear a shirt that shows this but doesn’t completely show it off either. Many short sleeve shirts come all the way down to your elbow which is too low for a short sleeve.
Many guys only don't button the top button; I generally leave 2 but not more than 2. I also leave the bottom one undone.
oh and the only time I tuck something in is if im wearing a tie, lol
"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.
I buy mostly shirts that have short short-sleeves to show off my arms (they cut off about halfway up my biceps). I do have a couple collarred short sleeves button up shirts where the sleeves go down to my elbows. Is it gay to roll a short sleeve up a couple times to show off more arm?

About the glasses: Like someone said before, you can tint your lenses to make them look more stylish. When you buy glasses, make sure you buy a pair which suits your face, very key. Lenses which are tinted grey will go with a lot, however another thing you can try which looks good if you're tanned is matching the tint to your skin tone.
One trick to getting your perscription glasses to look more stylish is to look for a good pair of sunglasses and put in your perscription lenses there instead. This usually only works well if you have a weak perscription.
I got these just today(with a silver frame):

A few comments -
the gay hairdresser is an interesting idea - I think I will definitely try that.
the long sleeve buttoned shirt - top one or two buttons and bottom button unbuttoned and it MUST fit you right (not too big!)
I still get breakouts on occassion - I may try those self-tanners as a why of camouflaging them a little bit (the tanning beds are only a temporary solution - actually if you burn the skin it actually causes the skin to produce MORE oil which can aggravate breakouts).
I don't do accesories, though. (No rings, no necklaces) - not my style. My style is to look good without trying too hard to look good (besides I find rings and necklaces to be unconfortable). Leave the accesories for the women IMHO.
I will wear a nice watch though (at least it serves a purpose) - shows you have a bit of class.
Out of the whole list I think the two most important are:
Shoes - women just have this thing about a man's shoes.
Good diet/health/go to gym - when you feel good you project a sense of well-being that makes you much more attractive.
"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.

There seems to be a definite 50-50 split with women regarding body hair on men. I've a very hairy chest & current and exgfs love it. Some don't. I'm not getting waxed! hairy looks good with big pecs too
Good thread.

1. shoes
having many different kinds of shoes is an awsome way to go.
espically if you see girls more than once. you can bank on girl always noticing your shoes and if you have nice ones its like adding frosting on the cake
2. in general you should dress with different styles. never wear the same kind of shirt 2 nights in a row if possible
keep switching up your style on a daily basis that you arent labeled as a certain type
oh and to the poster, you forgot shoes.
