"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.

Now see? I have learned something I didn’t know. Sillage. What a great noun. Narcisse left quite a sillage. I got stopped constantly by men & women both wanting to know what fragrance I was wearing. Thanks @DonJuanjr

Cheers
 

"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 film those sort of videos for living. They are marketing horse****. Don't believe anything they say. It's written by a bunch of marketing guys who can't get laid then given to the man in charge to read from a script. He inputs his 2 cents, while listening to what needs to be said to sell more stuff. People don't climb the top of the industry ladder by being true to themselves and speaking truth.

I got lucky with my skin type I guess. Jovan and ck1 smell great on me. Will try the creed knock-off just out of curiosity. I took my Mrs around for a sniff test. Chanel bleu got the tick

Bleu de Chanel EDP is a compliment-getter, wherever you go. One of the most popular on the planet.

To anyone who doesn't mind spending $325 on a fragrance, Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkjian is a boss.

@BeExcellent your guy should check this out. They have it at Nordstrom and Saks. You'll be able to sample.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Lol and just who is Narcisse?

I usually pick Adolf when I need a random name myself. We all have our quirks.

Reminds me of SUV commercials, where they show some grocery getter driving up the side of a mountain. Same sh!t, different pile.

Anyone use Sex Panther?

Even though I use aftershave, definitely thinking men are kidding themselves if they think it plays any real part in attracting women. I've had women compliment how great I smell in bed when I have nothing but loreal deodorant on.

I think its very much the icing the cake rather than something that creates any kind of attraction.
 

"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.

She gets a special cologne. It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries. Yep, it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.

Yeah, they've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

It's a formidable scent. It stings the nostrils, in a good way.
 

"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.

It’s a perfume. Narcisse by Chloe is a perfume. It’s discontinued some years ago.
