"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.

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.

"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.

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

"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.

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
 

“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.

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!
