"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.

It's time for me to invest in new shoes and I was thinking about getting some black and white Doc Martens (see pics below). A friend of mine has someof these and he says chicks are always telling him how much they like them. I have a rockabilly/psychobilly kind of look so these should fit that well. Just wondering what some of you think about these before I fork over $100+ for these.



 

"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.

i'm not here to judge your style, but in my opinion i'd stay away from anything your friend exactly has. try to one-up him or spice it up by getting something different, it's like two people wearing the same jackets
 

"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.

i mean, those shoes could work in some scenes dude.

i don't know a damn thing about rockabilly but i'm sure some girls into that scene could appreciate that style.

it's about doing what you want to do and saying f* the stigma.

i mean, you may not be into jordans but i like them. or you may not be into ferragamos or topsiders but i like those too.

shoes are part of the outfit but know that these kind of shoes will only go with someone who has extreme self confidence

I'm a huge believer in the old adage, "you're never well dressed until you're well shod."

Those shoes are unique and should work with rockabilly.

The only thing I don't like about them are the rubber soles. I personally like leather soles...I think it's a little more classic, will last longer, and generally let's women know that you know what's good in life.
