Ok, so Heres the revised poll...enjoy. aqua de gio was most popular last time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.Originally posted by jb82
ive been using dolce & jean paul gaultier lately....dolce is a stronger smell, but its a great night cologne. jp is more of a 'fun' smell....its time to restock (dont forget, cologne lasts a year whether you use it or not) so maybe ill try something else
