"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

JUst thought I'd drop a quick note and let everyone know that PREP is back in.

I recently started wearing Lacoste Polos with a long sleeve shirt underneath, pulled up to the elbows.. a nice pair of designer jeans and a sporty pair of shoes. I have gotten compliments from over half a dozen women in the last week or so. The style is simple and clean... but if you are at least above average looking, it will make you look even better.
 

"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.

Yeah, seriously when did it ever go out? Prep has always been in style to some degree. I've been wearing prep for a year or so now and it's worked well for me. Girls like a man who knows style and how to dress.. unless you're trying to attract some other type of girl who might not be into the "prep" style.

I still for the life of me, can't tell what the hell prep is.
 

"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.

Its a good style for sure. i adopted it about a year ago, when i realized I HAD no style...It's good for everyone too. For guys with excellent physiques, you can wear a nice tight polo to show off your oh-so-hot chest, and for dudes like me who dont feel like showing off a bit of a beer gut, its very good at masking flaws without being too baggy.

Would you be so kind as to post some pictures? I'm curious (especially about the shoes).

Also, anyone else thing we should have a Fashion sub-forum? A good wardrobe is essential to being a man, I feel.

Looking good is absolutely essential to being a man and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

YOu must alwways look good because you never know who you will run into. If you saw your ex at the supermarket and you looked like sh1t, wouldnt you feel embarrased? Thought so. Always look fly.

I guess i do a little bit a prep but i'd say im more of a "classy" type. Im not into those kind of shoes, if i really dress up nice i'll weare dress shoes. I do like some of the clothes but i think 2 many ppl dress taht way where i am....looking all cool and stuff......im just like........so fake and i dont want to look like that at all. thats why i avoid diesel with a passion cause all the guys i know are like "yo yo biches and hoes! lets steal shoes!"
 

"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.

You JUST started wearing Lacoste polos? Man, I been rockin Lacoste, Polo by Ralph Lauren (not that CHAPS/Polo Jeans junk) since...damn, I can't even remember, it was sometime back in the '90s.

My average Spring fit:
Lacoste polo
Diesel/Gap/Express Jeans
Exclusive Nikes you haven't seen before

Of course I also rock tee's that you don't find in the mall

You have to switch it up...but always look fly
