Bad?
"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.
Jeans in the summer.

"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 figured. I've lived in Tenessee all my life, and alwyas been a loser wearing jeans. Moving to Texas helped as I started a new look, but its summer again and everytime I look at shorts I just don't look right in them. Any style suggestions?

haha..i never wear jeans...even at night..just not used tot hem...but im starting to this summer
i usually wear shorts
all i know is....girls don't like guys in capris...but i dont like capris either
I GOT IT...GENIUS IDEA
you like jeans but not shorts...but want to wear shorts
JEAN SHORTS....GENIUS..IM A REAL MAN OF GENIUS:yes:
buutttttt....i heard on some fashion show..that jean shorts are a no no...but i think that applies only when you're a little older cause i see lots of guys still wearing them...if there are guys where you live that wear em...sure...if there aren't, still why not? You're an individual so **** the rest of them...literally too =)

"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.

Many style of shorts. I probably dont like 80% of the style they come in. You just need to go shopping and find what you like, whether it be shorter or longer in length and number of pockets and sh1t. My preference is right at knee level when im standing and two pockets in front and two in back. I think it looks rediculious when you have 7 pockets that you will never need.
-stay away from jean shorts, i dont even know why they still sell them
-dark brown, brown, khaki, and plaid, are the best colors to look for. But be careful with plaid, its easy to get carried away with them.
Also try athletic shorts. I wear a waist size smaller than I should and it makes me look pretty athletic even though im outa shape.
*also make sure you are wearing the right kind of shoes to be wearing shorts. I have shoes that I wear with jeans and shoes I wear with shorts.

Seeing as I'm in the UK, jeans/trousers is an all year thing. Shorts are reserved for heatwaves, and even then only for real casual situations. Chinos and linen trousers are the way forward in the heat. Smart, stylish and still keep you cool.
I'm a style addict, and jean shorts don't look good with anything, unless you go for a country singer look. Its not about being an individual. Stay away from jean shorts.jeffthechef said:
And what are you talking about girls don't like capris? Hell of a lot better than athletic shorts...athletic shorts are practically never good in the way of style.
Jeans in the summer only fly on rainy/crap days

hahaha jean shorts, please do not do that.
Just make sure you get a cool normal pair of shorts and wear them, trust me you don't look stupid and over a week you'll just get used to them and think you look cool or even normal in them lol.
Your just not used to it, trust me you look fine just try it for a week unless of course you are fat or have ugly legs lol

i did warn that jean shorts are a nono
AND
it does have to do with being an individual...if you like it, then wear it
there's a difference between not caring/caring/obsessing
btw, i like those puma shoes saturos...where'd you get em? i've never seen em before

"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 like the shoes too, I wouldn't mind a pair.
I know what you mean by certain shoes to go with shorts. What kind of shoes would those be? I noticed the shoes I have right now don't go to well with shorts.
I'm also taking a girl out on Thursday but it looks like I'll be stuck in jeans.
fvck :/

saturos-where did you learn how to do dress? books? Any particular ones for a newbie. Maybe you should make a thread about it and make it a sticky(just basics, unwritten rules like the jean thing, pointers for the casual look you got going). I as well as some others, would really appreciate it. :]

My friends would stop hanging out with me if i started wearing that lol.
No offence but can't say i'd be seen in that, maybe it's just different where I'm from.
2nd layer shirt down so far, light jeans, but maybe i'd wear those shoes just to get a few laughs lol. Other then that just naaa.
Just putting my opinion out there

"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.

Kinowear is a pretty good site, they have a good sense of style and how to match clothes.

I wear jean shorts practically 24/7 haha. I'm sure there are other things that would look better but they're all-purpose and have never given me any trouble.

kinowear.com teaches you the basics.
I read all the stuff on kinowear...just don't take it too literally, as a lot of the members on kinowear dress a bit too overboard for my tastes.
FIT IS KING. You want the clothes to skim your body. This year was the first year i started caring about how i dressed. I used to have a rotation of bland shirts i wore every week. Even as the year has gone on, i'm still on very few shirts just because a lot of teh shirts i have bought are not good fits and i regret the buys.
High school chicks dig dress shirts too, if you can pull them off. I get complimented on how i dress all the time
.
Also, expensive =/= good. One of my favorite stores is kohls. That place is awesome.
Damn i need a job.
Post pictures and i'll give you some pointers if you'd like.

"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.
