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

"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.
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 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.

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.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.
