Ok, so Heres the revised poll...enjoy. aqua de gio was most popular last time.
"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.
The Ultimate Cologne Poll...2...!!

"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.
Everytime I see one of these polls or see you guys talking about cologne, the same ones are mentioned over and over and over... I thought the essence of a DJ is to be distinguishable from the crowd. How are you planning on doing this by wearing run-of-the-mill cheap-@ss cologne. Ditch the Tommy, Polo, Curve, Aqua di Gio garbage and show some originality. Try the site Perfumebay and Scentiments for a huge variety of discount cologne. If you're feeling more ambitious go to a high-end deptartment store (Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom) and sample the fragrances there. The colognes I use are Creed: Green Irish Tweed, (for the winter) and Acqua di Parma (summer). I bet you've never even heard of these. They happen to be the most high-end and exclusive fragrances you can buy. You can buy them for alot of money at Neiman Marcus or Barney's, or you can do what I did and got them for a discount on those sites I listed. Some more suggestions are:
Kiton
Marc Jacobs
Gendarme
Any fragrance made by Creed
Mont Blanc
Bulgari

You should add Armani Black Code to the poll.
Does anyone have any experience using sandalwood and vanilla oils to blend your own scent?
If you are poor, try Axe tsunami. Axe is stupid, but I think tsunami is synthetic sandalwood. Women like it, at least better than anything else you can buy for four bucks.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

No offense, but half of the options on the last poll are on this one. If you're going to make an 'updated' poll, update the options to choose from.
Also, some of these choices are either non-specific (for example, "Victoria's Secret" could mean either their "Very Sexy for Him", "Very Sexy for Him 2" scents) or just laughable (who but a 12 year old on a tight budget would even consider "Old Spice")?

Call me old fashioned, but I like stetson. I'll just go to a store where they sell men's cologne and ask the hottest sales attendant to smell them all for me and pick her fave. Then I'll do it at 50 other stores. I'll post my findings later, if I get a chance to do it.
"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.

I have over 30 bottles of colonge, all of what was on the poll.. Of that I like Darkaar Noir the best.
I LOVE Angel for men. It is soooo different.
Another thing that is cheap but smells great is Gucci for men, has a distint, nice smell.
My favorate colonge is a tie between Ceretti Image and Jaguar Proformance, with echo for men coming in a close 2nd

I shower semi-regularly. I get tons of compliments on my scent. Maybe I should bottle it and sell it. Call it "Douché" by Andy or something.

No, thats a bunch of BS. Sure, it may not be quite as strong or noticeable after a year, but it's not like the cologne goes "bad" after a year. Plus, if that was true, why the hell would they make those big 3.4 oz bottles? There's NO WAY anyone could ever use that much in a year. Hell, you can't even use up a 1.7 oz bottle in a year. I have a 1.7 oz bottle of Acqua di Gio that I've had for about 6 or 7 months and have worn just about every night I've gone out (every weekend during winter/spring, most every night in summer), and I've probably used up 1/6th of the bottle.
I'm with ItalianDJ though. I think it's better to wear the less popular ones. I still own Acqua di Gio though because it smells VERY good and girls love it as well. Plus, I don't know any other high school guys have it (most don't want to spend $40+ on a bottle of cologne). The other cologne I own is Cool Water Deep. Not as common as regular Cool Water, and I think it smells much better. I don't like the smell of Cool Water at all.
