I think that it depends on your body. If you have a pretty well built body, you can pull it off. It's definitely a style that certain people can pull off and some can't. If you're overweight, for example, you're not going to pull it off.
"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.
Here's How To Make Yourself Good Looking
- Thread starter Vassago
- Start date
"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.

They dont flare out like the ones for women, they are cut just enough to slip over your boots/shoes so it doesnt look messy...I remember people used to cut slits in their jeans in order for them to do that...
Haha!
Well about 50%-75% of all male "hair dressers" are gay or bi. So through trial and error you'll probably find one spot on.
I am going to a high class salon in a few months to get my hair done ($60!). I'm letting my hair grow out some so they have more to work with.
Anyways. Most of this stuff is dead on. If your a younger guy, wearing nice clothes that fit you right will work wonders for you. Just remember that everyone has their own style. Some stuff that looks good on me might not look good on you. So go to a good store and try on a lot of stuff.
An example of something i'd wear:
Black dress shirt w/ subtle pinstripes. Top/Bottom unbottoned, cuffs as well.
Guess Brown khaki Jeans (man these are pimp!)
Black Studded Belt w/ a designed buckle
Black boots
Tag Heur watch
silver star ring
or...
Diesel Ravix Jeans
Diesel Shoes
Vintage Shirt
Hemp Bracelet
Fedora Hat
Oh yeah. GO to the gym. Go now. And go often. I don't care what's been said or not... HOT WOMEN DON'T LIKE SKINNY GUYS! But don't do it for them... do it for you and use them as motivation.

Remember when...
"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.

Here are a few fashion combis that work for me. (Bear in mind I have fair colouring, am tall and fair hair, with an athletic build)
Navy blazer with a rugby shirt and blue jeans. Also works with a white T-shirt.
White flannels, V-neck navy jumper and light blue shirt letting the collar come over your sweater.
Blue jeans and a tailored V-neck T shirt.
Polo shirts and flannels.
For winter: a blue navy wool overcoast and white flannels and a light blue shirt. Wear it with a tie and you will look great.
Another good look is the out of work dressed down look. Basically wear a pair of smartish smart slacks, with a loose fitting dress shirt wearing it out (nothing too extravagant-try light blue, or some sort of stripes), and undo 2-3 buttons, and wear good black shoes.
I am aware that my clothes lean towards the preppy style, but I have had a lot of compliments on my fashion sense from girls.

This board is still the same as when I was gone from it....
I just don't agree with this post. Some of you guys are making sweeping generalizations about women and what looks they prefer.
First of all, looks aren't going to help you unless you have the basics down. People place way too much importance on looks on this site, anyways, but....
Women do not have 1 specific look that they all prefer. Not all women have the same tastes.
Have some of you guys ever considered the fact that not all women like "abercrombie preps" or frat boys? And not all guys like the women that DO prefer "abercombie preps" or frat boys?
What about BLACK people, hmm?
How dumb would it look for a black man to be dressing the way that you guys are telling people to dress to impress women?
I swear, some of you guys need to get out and discover the various females around you. You'll soon discover that not all attractive women have to be the white, "sexy-trendy-shallow-I like to go clubbing and get drunk-I love attention from men because they all want me-I wear too much lip gloss-partying" types.

"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.

Im black, and I wear button ups with boot cut jeans, and I like it and so do the women, so Im not complaining...
Cool read, and look at the views on ths thread ! Amazing !! Does anyone know some good fashion websites for men's fashion ? But not for the 40 year old guys, or the working people. But more for the college/uni people.
Thanks

hmm i was down south a few weeks ago and saw this dood from switzerland wearing a slick tight shirt with strings around the neck area (I dunno if you guys can visualize).. and i was just wondering if anyone has seen anything like this for sale as retailers in north america? i thought it looked pretty nice not to mention it shows off the muscles w/ sporting a sleeveless shirt or something of the sort
"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.

Nah, dont wear that...Thats like something a woman would wear to show her t1tties off...Men dont need to be doing that...You wouldnt get any respect from other dudes, and then if dudes dont resepect you, say goodbye to those girls...
I have read the original post and have to say I agree completely. Last year after getting dropped by my girlfriend I decided to change my image completely and go for the metrosexual image.
I've never seen myself as much of a ladies man, but during the last year I have picked up a lot of great compliments and for once in my life, I've been the centre of female attention, while all my old friends and acquaintances comment on the positive change.
I think a lot has to do with attitude too, however. You don't have to be a highbrow intellectual, but it pays to take care in your speech and mannerisms. Show some class and self-control and you'll stand out from all the wannabe pimps and chauvinistic macho men without even trying. If women can see that you aren't desperate, if you appear selective in your tastes or content to be alone, it makes you look untouchable and adds to your appeal.
However, while good manners, politeness and sophistication reflect well on you, just be sure you don't overdo it as it could be perceived as a sign of weakness rather than confidence and self-worth, and trust me, there are too many women who will exploit it.

I forgot to mention one more tip...
The quickest, cheapest and most effective way of whitening teeth I have found is plain old bicarbonate soda/baking soda. It doesn't taste nice, but it hardly costs anything and does the job. Just put some on a damp toothbrush and it will remove stains and make your teeth look instantly great.

"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.
