I'm thinking of adding a few items to my wardrobe, but I'd like to check out other stores. Where do you guys usually shop?
"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.
What are Your Favorite Stores for Clothes?

"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.

Ebay son. I just ordered 7 ralph lauren polos for 140, instead of paying 450+...go me.
"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.
What kinda stuff Fred Segal has? Have one not too far from me but never visited.
Shop at A|X, H&M (finally got one here in LA), gym clothes at Target, Express, Macy's/Bloomingdales/Nordstrom.
Go outlet shopping during summer, freakin nice discounts and soooo many great shops.

Fred Segal is kinda pricy. I usually get T-shirts or Polos and stuff...go to the one in Santa Monica....hottest women in all of LA are there either working or shopping.......they have a wide array of different designers....its pricy though but the clothes look good...selection can't be beat though
also go to other stores to buy stuff...i like surf shops and smaller stores. I try to avoid the mall stores whenever possible...like the Banana Republic, express, blah blah blah....honestly, the kirkland signature shirts at costco are way better quality, look the same and are 1/2 the price.
I actually do most of my clothes shopping when I go to vegas....either that or south coast plaza in the OC. I like this store called Ted Baker..they have cool shirts.

Santa Monica eh? The one closer to me is on Melrose. But **** I'll have to check that one out 
Sounds like a store I'd like.
About BR, I didn't realize how expensive it can get until I went shopping there last weekend, ended up buying just a t-shirt. Their clothing is good though.

actually banana republic's clothes are horribly cheap. Bloomingdales is good...
The Melrose Fred Segal is actually the more "happenin'" store....the Santa Monica one is more laid back...depends on what your style is and what you want...a lot of the clothes are made for malnourished japanese men though....
I really like the Adidas original store across the street from there for track jackets.

I'm a saks guy for the most part. I buy the vast majority of my clothes from online stores because of the variety, but when I go shopping around town, saks i the only store I will even walk into
