"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.

How many ties do you own?

"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.

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.
 

"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 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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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
