"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

i probably use them in a cologne opener and pick a good cologne simultaneously.

i am willing to purchase a 50 dollar cologne> long as its exclusive and different if you know what i mean.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

"cheap" and "good cologne" don't go together. If you re unwilling to fork out $40-$50 or more for a bottle then I can't help you out.

a few good ones: -Cool Water by Davidoff
- Aqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani (however it s been way overused. smells really great but i stopped using it about 6 years ago because too many guys use it)
- L' Eau D' Issey by Issey Miyake (similar to aqua di Gio but a lot more rare)
- CerrutiSi by Cerruti (great smell, similar to the 2 above but I haven't run into anybody using it yet in the US)
- Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne

Recently in the archives, someone said get "Kirra" at PacSun because it has a light scent for the spring/summer. I will look into that personally. When I saw it, I believe it was cheap. With more $$, you can try Kenneth Cole reaction for the warmer months.

Why don't you go for expensive colognes, but get them at a discount.
I know many local drug stores in my area that have special promotions once a week where $50-$70 colognes get marked down to $20-$30.
