"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.

I like this stuff called Joop I get a lot of compliments about it too. Coolwater is a good one too but it seems everyone is wearing that.
 

"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 have Acqua Di Gio by Armani. I get compliments on it all the time. When I was laying in bed with a chick, before I had sex with her, she snuggled up to me and said, "MMMMMM, you smell good."

"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.

For some reason, I have been finding more and more women that love the full on manly, sweaty smell. Generally, this is way more true after youve been with them already. I've had girls get MAD, cuz I wanted to take a shower, or put on deoderant and cologne. Im talking, all kinds of women, even high class, rich gorgeous ones too. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I dont know what to do, before I go out anymore.

"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.

"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.

Its good to be wearing cologne that make u smell sweet but it better when it also sexually attracts women... I'm talking about pheromones hear, yeah that thing that animals use to attract & get each other in heat when its mating seasons... I know, we are not animals but our noses don't know that, and since it’s proven to work why not bring to an end the disadvantages of bathing....

i asked my human sexuality professor and she said that pheromones are only for animal senses, in other words yes smelling good can hype you up but there are no "certain scents/pheromones" that make a chick instantly want to bang you.

for instance oceans 13, there is no sh!t that you can poke your neck with that releases a smell that hornifies chicks.


Anyways im a big cologne fanatic and have bought tons but in 2007 by far my favorite 2 colognes are

Ralph Lauren ROMANCE

and Polo BLACK

wow!!

but then again it smells amazing on me, the best thing in buying a cologne is whenever you go the the mall and you smell a cologne that you personally really like, spray some on yourself and go shop around for about 45 minutes and then ask a buddy or a chick or whatever how that cologne smells on you.

Cologne smells vary on people.
 

"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.
