"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.

How many ties do you own?

3 but i don't really like them so I'll probably go out and buy a few quality ones. It's always the quality not the quantity of clothing in regards to men's styles. With women it seems to be the other way most of the time.
 

"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.

I love ties. I have about 20, mostly of which were received as either donations or gifts.

I have 15. I have to wear them at my job 3 months out of the year. You guys should check out Ross, Burlington, Goody's and places like that. Nice ties don't have to be $50; I got the majority of mine for less than $20.

About 15, but I used to work at an apparel company that made ties.

Approx. ten ties. Most are pre-tied (no, not clip-on!) so I can just slip them over my next, tighten, and be on my way.
 

"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.

Probably 40-50 but I only wear maybe 12 - 16 with any frequency. Oddly some tend to slip out of the rotation due to not ONLY new coming in but sometimes an old favorite reenters the queue. Until they wear out.

This wins for most random thread ever.

6? I can't even remember. Having a long, slim, plain black cotton tie is important, and I have yet to find one I am satisfied with.

Ditto. Ties and watches are the simplest things that a guy can choose to change up his wardrobe easily. You don't have to worry about the fit and it's the thing which makes a plain white shirt so versatile.

Me too. I've gotten new ties and collared shirts for christmas since I was 12. Even so I still go out and get new ones.

I have 14 suits, 9 sports coats, about 12 vest, and countless slacks and collared shirts. My secret? The magic hangers :D

"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.
