They all have a time and place depending on what the occasion is. I recommend for social (drinking) events candies for men, and givenchy. I don't like smelling like musk in terms of the polos and heavy colognes. Givenchy smells a little bit like vanilla, which the girls go nuts over.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Here's something that you should all know:
Guy's are horrible at picking out cologne. Make sure to get numerous opinions from women before you make a purchase.
If YOU think it smells good, the chances are that women won't like it.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"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.
Here are some i like... right now im using VERSACE METAL JEANS, its not bad, but not the greatest IMHO... MY ratings are in parentheses out of 10 off the top of my head:
- Kenneth Cole New York (9/10): Not super light fragrance, not too thick.. VERY nice. Its more subtle, but smells awesome
- Nautica Competition (8.5/10): Better than Latitude Longitude (which i also really like). A 'sharper' scent than Kenneth Cole NY, sportier. A tiny bit stronger than 'Lat/long'
- CK Crave (8/10): At first i didnt like it at all, way too fruity. But once applied, the high fruity tones are more subtle, and you end up with a very nice fragrance.
- Azzaro Chrome (8/10): A heavier fragrance, but still very nice. More formal.
- Swiss Army Altitude (8.5/10): A good daily wear cologne, not too light, but not too heavy imho
- Bvlgari Blv (8.5/10): This is a VERY nice cologne thats not mentioned that much. Slightly thicker scent.
- DKNY Men (8/10): A light fresh scent. Not fruity, not overpowering. I have a feeling it would fade fast though.
- Polo Blue (7.5/10): IMHO not too spectacular. The guy was hyping it alot and stuff, sayinhow its the next best thing for young guys... i dont buy it...
- Aqua Di Gio (8.5-9/10): I cant totally remmeber what it smelled like, but i think it was a fresher scent, similar to Nautica Competition.
Just some i've tried... i love shopping for cologne... even though i dont buy it often, i love the scents...
Also, i dont know why, but i absolutely HATE the scents from TOMMY HILFIGER...

Curve!
Curve all the way...
Over the years...THAT one has stood the test of time and gotten the most "What on earth are you wearing?"s from random girls when I am out and about.
Also, not that many peeps wear it...it has a distinctive smell, that's for sure...very masculine.

One word is all you need to know - Burberry.
I wear this stuff (and I have many of the colognes listed) and the reaction is amazing. The only problem is that you have to really douse yourself in it, otherwise the effect isn't that great.

"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.

Burberry is awesome. It smells like a cedar chest. But I love the smell. Where can you get it??
On weekend days I still like Old Spice. Just on the weekend’s though, and Just in the day.

Fahrenheit and acqua di Gio are 2 i have just started to wear out,
also been told "blue jeans" is pretty good.
does anyone know from first hand experience if the imitation colognes are just as good as the real deal?, Im thinking of trying a few out cause the real ones are so damn expensive.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
