"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.

"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.

So I'm not the only one who likes Drakkar. It's the only scent I use, and I've been complimented on it as well.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

Anybody tried the new Armania Mania. I have had great success with that and I think it smells great.

Colonge smells different on everyone, due to your bodies chemistry. Ya goota keep that in mind, some colonges smell great until its on your body, and my not mix well with your natural scent. When i was younger I would go into department stores and ask for sample of everything, anything and as much as they wanted to give me for free. Thats the cheapest way to find out what works and doesnt.
I agree with mikezal though it all depends on how it smells on your body. I use to have cool water cologne and women used to compliment me all the time on it

Three colognes I miss...

Basara - Very warm and spicy, but not overpowering.

Polo Sport Extreme - very different Polo scent, also very warm and spicy.

New West - Ultra clean, unique scent.
 

"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.

Used to wear Drakkar years ago. Stopped because every 13 year old wears it. Drakkar was the colone back in Jr. High. I've graduated to Hugo. (BTW I'm 26)

I used to use Drakkar back in the 80s when I was in high school.

These days I use Pi. It smells awesome. The girls seem to love it.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I like Amouage. It's expensive, it has a bit of an unusual smell, extremely deep, rich and sweet, all natural. I went off common course because I really learned to hate comments like: Oh, *sniff* is this *****? My ex-boyfriend/friend/schoolmate used to wear that...

What advice would you give a guy with no sense of smell?

I'm not kidding.

Shower daily, wash your teeth after every single meal, flush them daily, change socks and underwear at least daily (just in case someone doesn't) don't wear sweaters more than twice before washing them (depends on circumstances within reason), use antiperspirant/deodorant for your armpits, use colognes sparingly - one or max. two sprays. Use some colognes that your female friends (that kind of look like your target girls) say they smell good. With this I don't believe one can go wrong.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
