Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I remember wearing a suit to the shopping mall in my 20s, I was decent looking then, I had looks from women. Which I didn't do nothing.

I'm in my mid 30s now, the only way to tell is to test this in field.

I have a feeling if I wore a nice trendy suit, this could work. I've got back to the gym, so I'll have nice definition.

If I do get looks, should I introduce myself, do kino, do some small talk and then get her number?

Its time to take chances now
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Sounds interesting.

I considered doing the same. I don't think I ever wore a suit aside from one occasion as a kid.

Frankie Muniz has thrown on a suit several times over the course of his public life, yet has always been less of a panty dropper than David Duke has been a formidable political leader, anytime after the early 90s

Your thinking and approach will have to be smidge more capacious than it currently is, hombre

The old sayings seem trite sometimes but they are usually timeless, universal truths. We have often heard, “Clothing makes the man.” I maintain that clothing can completely override average looks. That’s how powerful your suit of armor is.
Usually as a man ages he gets more relaxed in his wardrobe. He dresses more and more casually, and gradually erodes his projection of self-respect. Women definitely notice this.
It’s so easy to rise above the “competition”. Good grooming and a well-fitting wardrobe scream to the world, “I respect myself”. People will always agree with what you project about yourself. Self-respect demands other-respect.
You don’t need expensive clothing and you don’t need a suit necessarily. Just clean, well fitting clothing is enough. In addition, shoes are vitally important. The very next thing a woman notices about you after your face is your shoes. Then they scan up for your overall “look” and that tells them all they need to know.
Those who know me from years ago know that I frequently preached about invisibility. Most men are invisible to quality women. They are objects to walk around like a garbage can or parking meter. They are filtered out immediately because they don’t project self-respect. I know because I used to be an object to walk around. A neat presentation makes one visible which is a huge advantage.
Here I find myself preaching on SS like days of old. It’s true what the song says. You can check out, but…

@Atom Smasher "We have often heard, “Clothing makes the man"

One's apperance is definitely a powerful weapon in one's arsenal. OP sounds as if he believes that simply throwing on a suit is going enhance his allure by magnitudes though. Can't help but think his thinking is exaggerated
 

"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.
