"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The way a man looks determines his general attitude. It can be said that the woman makes the dress, while the suit makes the man. Our morale reflects the conceived style or attitude of our clothing. How extroverted we behave is directly correlated with the colors of our attire.

The way you dress yourself is a matter of what image you would like to project. Deciding what to wear in no way involves picking clothing that defines you, despite what the media and cultural outlets such as television have force-fed you: human beings are not as simple as a pair of Abercrombie pants and a Polo t-shirt.

The biggest fear amongst young men who are looking towards improving their aesthetics is someone assuming they are homosexual. This social phobia contradicts the nature of looking good to begin with, ironically. The stereotype is that homosexuals dress exceptionally well and thus a man who dresses well must be homosexual.

Finding a woman who has ever been capable of realizing a man’s homosexuality without the man openly admitting it is a search for a needle in a haystack. Women are essentially incapable of realizing anyone’s sexuality. Therefore, regardless of how well you dress or how you comb your hair, your sexuality will be determined by your actions and behavior.

Furthermore, this fear must be eliminated if one wishes to improve. Being concerned that you look homosexual is fundamentally flawed, as it coincides with dressing well. Your goal should be to look exceptional with regards to the image you wish to represent yourself with. Understandably, men do not want to represent themselves as a homosexual, yet what has been defined as looking homosexual has been skewed into an oblivion beginning with the point in which “The Fab Five” decided what was attractive on a man. Accept it and move on.

The first step in improving your appearance should always be further developing your body. Whether or not that means going out to a gym and lifting weights depends upon each individual’s desires, but diet, including vitamin consumption, should always be improved upon.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of women find the proverbial “six-pack” sexy. It would be in one’s best interests then to go about making their abs visible. This thought pattern should be consistent with all decisions involving one’s physicality. What women are attracted to is a game of odds, and thus majority rules. Place your bet on what most women are attracted to, as to get the most women.

A common question amongst pubescent teenagers is whether or not they should shave their facial hair. The answer is a very simple one, and can be found in the maturity of their female peers. If one is attempting to attract a 16 year old girl, he must immediately assume that she is a mindless drone like the rest of his peers. Therefore, all he has to do to determine whether or not the 16 year old female will be attracted to facial hair or a nice clean-shaven face is turn on their television and change the station to MTV.

To make the answer clearer: in high-school, women are attracted to what they are told to be attracted to. It was not so long ago that pale skin and fat women were considered the most attractive. Times have changed, gentlemen, and they will continue to. Today, a teenage female is attracted to a “clean-cut” man, and thus a clean-shaven one.

Next, other bodily hair comes into question. Chest hair should be kept to a minimum in length if not removed completely by wax. Young women find long hair unattractive, while none attractive, and a little they feel apathetic – in regards to chest hair.

Back hair is completely unattractive in today’s culture, and should thus be completely removed. Foot hair, as in small hairs on the upper part of the foot and along the toes is generally irrelevant, but should be removed if it becomes unsightly.

Eyebrows should be plucked, but in no way similar to how a woman’s are. Women pluck their eyebrows to keep them thin and clean, men merely want to do the latter. Keeping the eyebrows clean is attractive, and doesn’t suggest that you pluck your eyebrows to begin with. Teeth should be kept as white as possible, obviously. Finger and toe nails should be kept at a short length at all times.

The most essential part of a man’s appearance is a sense of style, or the subtle feeling that the man knows how to dress himself. This means colors that compliment or oppose each other. Black and white oppose each other while brown and black compliment each other. A general rule is that one’s footwear should always be the darkest piece on the body. It is for this reason, that black shoes are a good selection.

Looking good means feeling good, and as always: your penis will thank you.
 

"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.

brown and black compliment each other.
Be careful though, brown and black is an extremely difficult combination to achieve succesfully. That being said, if you don't feel they look good on you, they probably don't, when in doubt ask a female friend, sister, cousin, whatever...



A general rule is that one’s footwear should always be the darkest piece on the body.
I didn't know that, thanks for the tip.


One big must in fashion is to ALWAYS match shoes with belt.
Socks should be the exact same color that your pants or shoes (whatever works for you). If you are wearing jeans with dress shoes match the socks to your shoe color. All this is done in order to make a smooth visual transition from the leg to the foot.

By the way, GREAT POST! Keep up the good work Smooth.

Alright another tip I'd like to say is keep your hairline intact and tight. It really defines your face, and it isn't really metrosexual like plucking your eyebrows. This tip is good especially if you have short hair.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
