Bad?
"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.
Jeans in the summer.

"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.

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?

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 =)

“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.

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 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 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

"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.

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.

"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.
