"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

i have never owned a 400 dollar pair of shoes and i have no clue, however baby wipes have never ruined the regular leather on my regular shoes.
baby wipes do contain a small amount of alcohol in some brands, so you might wanna check that out .

Does that work good for faux leather as well?

Mine are cracking, so repair is more what I need...

yes but it wont repair the cracking, so when you get new shoes, start off the bat by cleaning them with the wipes.
 

"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.

baby wipes work well if your shoes have gotten dirty within the day. Otherwise i recommend a basic shoe cleaning kit, it will run you the same amount of money.

Your dashboard is another issue. When I worked at an exotic car company we used a damp felt rag and oil soap. It softens the leather and gives the car a good scent.

These days I'm using a quality steam cleaner with a precsion nossel for both.
