"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.

Need Some Opinions

What's up guys. I'm in a bit of a situation. I just bought these boots, and need some opinions on how others think they look. Now to get a few things straight.... I don't want to hear any "If you like them what does it matter what others think" bs. The fact of the matter is that people dress up not only because they like the look, but they do it to impress others. Personally, I LOVE these boots. However, I dropped quite a bit of change on these things and want to make sure others find them appealing as well. I already have them, but I have a year before I have to return them (assuming they're in new, unworn condition).

Just a bit of background, I tend to dress with a rocker/rock-star flair. Rest assured I won't be pairing these boots with any american eagle polo shirt type nonsense.

So here they are: http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1095974&pg=5065382

Tell me what you think. Be completely honest
 

"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.

The boots are nice, but I don't think they're worth the price. You can buy a lot of things for $420 + tax. I would return them and buy something I can enjoy.

You can buy nice shoes/boots for just a fraction of the price you bought those for. Of course, $420 might be chump change for you. I don't really know.

Good luck, bro!

Yeah that's kinda what bothers me. I had a pair of Mark Nason's a year ago that I got for $275, and while I liked them I just never felt comfortable dropping that much cash on them. I figured these would be different because I like them wayyyy more than the last pair and I can't find anything like them for cheaper. I just get this feeling that if I do wear them I couldn't enjoy them because I'd spend all my time thinking about how much they cost and worry about messing them up.

Really, I just don't want to wear them out somewhere, start to regret the purchase and then be unable to return them. The price is the only problem, I got them for $360 and I have a hard time justifying spending that much on boots

Thanks Mavrick, I appreciate the advice

I think they're cool.

But I could never pull them off.

What kind of style do you usually wear?

Those are some true peacocking boots. I like them. I would only wear them with jeans and make sure you've got your rock star image kicking when you wear those things.
 

"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.

Thanks guys. As for the style I usually wear... it's the typical rock-star type style. Think affliction type clothes without the over-inflated price tag and cult/wannabe following.

It's a look I pull off nicely (and I'm the last thing from rockstar!) but where I'm from edgy looks don't get much respect. Around here you either were american eagle/hollister/abercromby preppy stuff or boots, carhart and camo. Needless to say middle-of-nowhere Kentucky isn't the kinda place to live if you like to stand out. People around here are more accepting of what they're used to. As you can imagine they have a hard time understanding my style. I'm more likely to get classified "emo" than "rocker" :mad:

Out in larger city/urban areas my style kills. However, around home girls don't quite "get it" even though they agree it looks good (and right) on me. Honestly, I think it works so well because it fits my personality. I'm a very outgoing, laid-back, fun-loving guy. But rest assured I've got the rocker look held down from clothes to accessories. I've probably got more jewelry and threads than the average chick lol.
