"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.

Anyone here have a Kenneth Cole watch? Do you like it? Has it been reliable? I got a watch for Christmas and am returning it,I liked a couple of Kenneth Cole watches I saw there before and might get them as an exchange. Any input would be appreciated.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Kenneth Cole = Da Bomb :up:

http://www.kennethcole.com/scripts/shop/thumbnails.aspx?cc=KMESS&viewall=true (not his entire collection - you can find past collections for less)

Also check out Skagen

Less expensive than KC but still sweet.

Hot diggity damn! :flowers:

I have a Kenneth Cole watch and it still runs as well as the day I bought it at the KC shop in Orlando. My other favorite watch is a Diesel which I picked up on Ebay for 35 smackaroos.

Funny you mention that,I was looking into Diesel watches as well. I wish I could afford a middle level Movado but my new career requires my time & money first. Kenneth Cole watches will work for now.
 

"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 got me a Citizen Eco-Drive... love that muhduhfuggah...

It's solar powered so you never have to change the batteries, all black, and I've never seen anyone else with one. Love it.

Hell yeah.

I own a Ken Cole watch. It was a Valentines Day gift from a girlfriend. I got it 2 years ago and it runs great. I scratched the crystal though. It is $45+ just to replace the crystal thru Ken Cole

I've put it away cause I can't decide if I should get a jewler to put in a Crystal or go thru KC. Nice watch though.

If you are looking to impress maybe something like a Movado.

I have a Kenneth Cole watch as well, it's a simple metal watch with a black face and white numbers, but I get a lot of compliments on it...probably my favorite watch to wear cause it can go with anything.

Oh I forgot, Macy's has a deal where if you buy a Kenneth Cole cologne for $60 or more, they'll give you a free watch. Now there's a deal but I don't know if it's going to go beyond the end of the year.

"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.

I used to work at a Watch repair shop, and I would reccommend seiko kinetic or chonograph watches as a good watch for a good price, especially the new sportura and cortura collections.
