"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.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

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.
 

"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.

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!"
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

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
