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.
"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.
The Ultimate Cologne Poll.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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 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.

"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.
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.

"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.

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.

Burberry eh ?
is that burberry touch or burberry london?
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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
