"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.
The Ultimate Cologne Poll.

"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.

Touch doesn't have the same effect, at least not on my girlfriend.

what i've seen
Hanae Mori....This stuff has a vanilla to chocolate scent with just a bit of spice to put it on an even keel. It is like another scent mentioned in that you need to use quite a bit, and you also gotta let it soak in so your own scent gets through before unleashing this scent on the ladies. There. I said it. Hanae Mori in my opinion could be the next classic. (Polo, Obsession, Drakkar, CKOne, Acqua....)

"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.
Watch it with the Versace Blue Jeans my friend, it's a very very formal and distinctive smell
.I've got it in the collection and it's great but not something I like to wear a lot. It's almost something I'd wear with a tux, since it smells so formal/dressy, but I have gotten compliments on it as not many use this cologne. Again, it's a cologne that really is an acquired taste.

Also, Hugo Boss is Hugo Boss, and not Hugo by Hugo Boss, right?
especially seeing as I've gotten compliments with both (hell pretty much all colognes by Hugo Boss that I wear get compliments).

Johnson's Baby Powder.
Seriously.
Baby powder has a scent to it that women react chemically to.... and it's always a *good* reaction

Best cologne
Gidday guys,
This is my first message I've posted anywhere !
In relation to the best cologne, I would have to say that it is Gucci Envy.
When women talk to you for the first time, they get a wiff of it, and want to put their face as close as possible to your ear when they are speaking to you.
Don't put too much on ! Just enough so you can only just smell it yourself.
Good hunting!

"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.

does anyone here have the same skin chemistry as me? i am sure that skin chemistry is ultimately important in picking colognes because i heard about the l'eau d'issey from people and went to try it but it didnt smell good on me at all. the few colognes that do smell good on me are 'bora bora' by forgot who, and 'romance' by ralph lauren. the kenneth cole is ok too, does anyone know other colognes that are similar to the two above?those two match my "style" as you may call it

That was a good point, wheelin. Your advice led me to get some female opinion on the matter.
I was surprised to hear just how many women love the smell of Jean Paul Gaultier on a man. Far and away the most popular cologne out there, at least from a female perspective.
"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.
i can tell you that the best 2 colognes (sp?) right now that i know are REALLY nice are
Crave
and Nautica Competition
i like crave a lot, and nautica smells nice as well , but is a little less scenty.
DEFINATELY give those 2 a try.

Re: CHROME
I Will second this. Almost EVERY cologne Azzaro makes is great. Chrome has gotten me tons of compliments. In fact, I was sitting in a resturaunt just last week and this hottie waitress came all the way over just to tell me that I smelled so good, and what type of cologne I was using. I of course told her it was my natural smell.
Re: what i've seen
It isnt too spicey, too sporty, too casual or too formal. It's just right to wear for any occassion. But like Thunnus said, you need to let it soak in. I usually put 1 spray on my wrists and rub them together, 1 spray on my upper chest with my shirt off, 1 spray on one of my shirt sleeves and 1 spray over the top of my head. It sounds like a lot but it's a soft fragrance, so you do need 3-4 sprays to make it as potent as a normal cologne....but it's worth the attention it draws.
Man I thought I was the only man in the world that wore this stuff. Hanae Mori has gotten me soooo many compliments. The women at work love to smell me. There is 1 particular girl that asks me ALL the time "wow you smell great, what are you wearing?" and I always tell her the same answer, Hanae Mori, and she says "oh that's right" and giggles.

cologne is a waste of money. use oils. they last all day, are dirt cheap, and you can get the exact effect that you want. mix 'em up even. how do you think these companies make cologne? oils with alcohol (which evaporates).
you can even get the source oils that mimic all of the name brand colognes. just do a search for +"fragrant oils" +men
cinnamon, vanilla, black licorice, sandal wood, are the favorite smells for women.
the black licorice is weird, but chicks dig it for some reason? i mix 70% vanilla 30% cinnamon. nothing but compliments.
i also use AXE (Kilo) body spray. just for daily aroma and not as a cologne substitute.

"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.
