Have you guys notice that many of the men colonge smell horrible? they smell like cat urine or decomposed leaves. I wonder why the heck do these manufacturer make these things.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Smelling Good Works Wonders On Women
Right on!MetalFortress said:Or "Drakkah" if you live in Boston.
My mom got me Chaps by Ralph Lauren, and Jovan Musk when I was in HS. I'm not sure how well those measure up overall, but the Musk smelled pretty good at one point (being a finger-dabber, it kind of went downhill overtime. The two that I picked out myself are Acqua di Gio and Ferrari Black, which are both spray colognes. Bvlgari is next on my list, once I begin making good money again.

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.

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.
I seem to always get compliments from women when I wear Phoenix.I love Hyori Lee said:Well, the staple is Aqua de Gio.
But if you're poor.
Essence from Axe Effect is good. It makes you smell clean, like you just took a shower, and women like that smell a lot.
Phoenix from Axe Effect is good too. It actually is a copycat of some other cologne. It apparently smells identical to it. I don't remember the name of it though. Use small amounts.
Probably not, but I'd rather spend about 30 extra bucks to have 5 years worth of kickass cologne, than to cheap out and end up with 5 years of rat piss cologne.Francisco d'Anconia said:Let's put it like this, does anyone know of any good cologne for under $50?
Suggestion, rotate out your cologne at least every couple of years. Cologne can go bad. Also it's best to keep them in a dark place like a drawer because light can excellerate it's decomposition.MetalFortress said:Probably not, but I'd rather spend about 30 extra bucks to have 5 years worth of kickass cologne, than to cheap out and end up with 5 years of rat piss cologne.
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.
