"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.

If you like Aqua Di Gio, you MUST try Millésime Impérial by Creed :D.

Trust me on this one, if you can find a real perfume/fragrance shop it'll be there. If not it may be hard trying to get the nuts to shell out $170 for a cologne you haven't even tried :D.


In the mean time Go try Unforgivable by Sean Jean, or Unforgivable Multi-Platinum.
 

"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.

Aqua Di Gio is great, but I prefer the body gel (lotion) over the actual cologne as the scent lasts longer, plus you can apply it to other areas of your body (arms, hands, face, legs, etc.). On top of that, you can throw in another favorite scent without feeling guilty about using two sets of colognes (since the body cream doesn't count). Personally, I use it in conjunction with Polo Double Black or Unforgivable. I've received a number of compliments/comments/questions @ work and among friends.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You cannot go wrong with Creed. Creed makes some of the most sophisticated, sought after, and best smelling scents in the world.

Silver Mountain Water by Creed is hands down the only cologne I will wear on a first date, or any night out when I know I will be surrounded by women.

Aaaahh there was a guy at the train station on saturday with such a great aftershave(/cologne), I only turned my head to look at him because I caught the smell and it really turned me on. I was surprised to see a really old and unattractive guy but for a split second I still fantasized about straddling him right there on the bench because he smelt so god damn good.

I wish I had asked what he was wearing, if only to smell it again. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? What they get complimented for the most? The smell was...I'm not sure how to describe it....reminiscent of an Armani scent...and Sure for men (although that's an english deoderant)....it was very very subtley sweet, but not an instant sweet-smelling scent like women's perfume. Hmmmm.

That scent beyond a shadow of a doubt was Armani's Aqua di Gio. The greatest cologne of all 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.

BOD is sold in walmart and it smells excellent.$7.50


The two best bottles are the green and the black one. The green is sweet and the black is professional

Polo Black is good too, but it isn't what you want if you're looking for cheap

hey guys don't know why I am even considering this buuuut

a local shop has discounted the david beckham range of eau de toilette sprays essence for men, homme, intimately for men, instinct & signature ... they are all down to $12 from $50

just wondering if any of you have used any of these and if they are actually any good. once again it is just a spur of the moment thing and not getting my hopes up about any of them. still loving the ADG by Armani
 

"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.

I don't have time to go back through and read 12 pages of comments. I saw one guy above mention it, Polo Black.

Another archaic thread, how interesting.

Here are my personal colognes that I think are great:

-Drakkar Noir

-Armani Code Black

-Axe Anarchy Rub-on Deodorant

-Axe Anarchy Spray-on Deodorant

After that you're good to go.

Cheers!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
