That is a really good one.Wolf said:
"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.
I want to smell good what are some good colognes

"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.

"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.
I just bought some cologne... I ended up buying the new Dolce & Gabana stuff, the Lacoste Elegance was my second choice. The slimmie working the counter hooked me up with a couple sample bottles of the Lacoste stuff though so I am going to try both.Tzolking said:

True dat.Master Bates said:
Armani Black Code is the ****.
I read somewhere that if you add a drop or two of vanilla extract to your cologne, girls will something or other... dunno exactly what it said but it was good.
And I can vouch for that because vanilla is a pleasant smell and could probably mix with most colognes.
Hollister Drift and Abercrombie Fierce are really good, too.
"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.

My personal favorite is Wings Cologne for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills
I havnt read 10 pages of posts to see if my favorites were already posted.... but here they are.
On a date, or if im going to be around attractive women i wear Ferrari Black or Polo sport. I do get good responses but at the same time i enjoy the smell, i think i smell good, which gives me a little extra confidence.
If i dont want to waste my good cologne on a regular outing to the grocery store, or at work where i dont have many opportunities for approaches, i wear la coste. Its moderatly cheap and is a very subtle nice smelling scent.

"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.

Kirra from Pacsun is my favorite, been buying it for a while now, but in that case listen to this... should we men keep using the same scent or use different scents... i could see spicing it up by getting new scents from time to time but what about using the same scent as a "remembrance" scent so when she smells that scent it will remind her of you.. any input fellas? :rock:
Definitely check out "Unforgivable" By Sean John it smells AMAZING. Too bad it's new and expensive, the trade off is that no one else will be wearing it so it's rare. Other good colonges that you get complimented on...
- Aqua De Gio By Armani
- Coolwater
- Curve
- Burberry
- Code
- Huge by Huge Boss
- Polo and Polo blue (Spring / Summer wear)

^^Haven't had a chance to sample Unforgivable yet, but it doesn't seem that th eprice is all that outrageous to me...I think I paid the same price for Armani Code only a couple months ago.. ---> http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P135301

I use Androstenone phermones...lethal. Then I also use Tag deodorant, After Dark or Midnight Blue..No matter the age of the woman, renders them defenseless. Whoever I sit next to, even guys, like the smell of it, and will welcome my company because of that combination.

I just got Gucci pour homme II, and it's freakin fantastic. I'd definitely recommend checking it out at a store that has it.
"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.
