"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.

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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
