"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.

Title says it all. A night out on the town, what are your preferred kicks? My casual shoes have become my gym shoes so I need some new shoes for nights out, etc... I'm too busy to keep up on what's fashionable nowadays (a little embarrassing, yes I know). Are Superstar II's and Air Force 1's still in? Lend a brother a hand...? :)
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I haven't touched either of those shoes since the early 2000's. Both way out of style.

In the past year or so i have started to rock vans ( the lace up variety, not slip on.) both girls and guys always seem to like them and they go with many outfits both dressed up or down. They also come in many different colors and styles. You cant go wrong with a fresh pair of vans!

Dress shoes. They never go out of fashion and give you a slick look, along with a black/purple/dark blue/dark red shirt and Jeans/Dark pants.

How can you people like Converse/Vans etc? They're horrible...
 

"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 was digging your post, but then you say: I'm too busy to keep up on what's fashionable nowadays (a little embarrassing, yes I know). This isn't embarrassing at all. Just wear what you like, it will turn cool. If you like it so will other people. That's fashion.

I like to wear all star, for example, so when people see me with them they think it's cool. If I wore them but didn't like them, just for the attention or something, then people would think I'm a fake and would be like, check out this looser.

No such thing as "sarging shoes" for me; I wear what fits with my overall style and what feel comfortable in the environment i am in.

Ill wear wear one pair to a club, another in a bar and another in a lounge-ier placer.

Wear what feels good and what makes you feel good.

These are my usual go to shoes as of late:

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm not really sure Vans are my style. I'm more of a jock/athlete/conservative republican and I'm not sure those fit my profile... :)

I think I need to just head to the mall this weekend and check out some nice dress shoes, or maybe some solid white casual shoes of some sort.

P.S. - No way in heck am I wearing cowboy boots anywhere haha.

Hey guy, a man needs four pairs of shoes and that's it.

Diesel sneakers for casuals $100 at most
Gym sneakers for working out $50 at most
Black leather oxfords for work or going out up to $500 or higher
Black very shiny dress shoes for suits, up to $400 or higher
A pair of sandals for summer time and shorts (I don't consider those shoes). $30 at most



Black dress shoes (not too shiny ones for suits) is what you need. I'm not sure what brand but for white casuals I wear Diesel that you can find at Buckle. Very nice and comfortable.

There are only two things you should pay top dollar for dress or work SHOES and WATCHES.

Chicks look at the shoes and the watch after your eyes. Remember that.

Bingo, that's why everybody should at least put some thought into what shoes they're buying. I hear what you guys are saying about black dress shoes. I love them, and wear a pair to work everyday, but they're not as comfortable as some casual sneakers. I think I just need to go grab a decent pair of Adidas, Nikes, Vans (I checked a couple out today... not bad afterall - different from what was posted though), or Diesels. While I'm at it I'll grab a new pair of black dress shoes too.

Hey Steel,

Good choice. Dress shoes suck, cause they are very uncomfortable, but you will love diesels. Shoes are very important. They say everything about style, money, and everything else. Chicks love shoes. I can tell a lot by what shoes a man is wearing too. If you have a three thousand dollar suit on, but wear hundred dollar shoes, it ruins the suit. Check out diesels for casual, get white color so you can wear it with anything, but with dress shoes, don't be cheap, they are very important for work and going out.
 

"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.

Like I said...the vans come in a ton of different styles, those were just the first i saw on google. I have had girl after girl compliment my vans as well as randomly point them out in stores. Don't care what anyone else says, I know from experience you cant go wrong with some laced up vans dressed up or down. I personally find the slip on to be less stylish but that's a matter of taste.
Personally I would never purchase diesel shoes...the only people I see wearing them come off as tools.
Also on the converse...you say your a jock/athletic type. How would converse not fit that style. They make all different types( Dwayne wades signature shoe is made by converse for gods sake.) I know when most people think of converse, Allstars come to mind. I will admit I hated on Allstars for years and years. I thought they looked like clown shoes. Now that I'm older I think a fresh pair of grey Allstars can really make an outfit. Theyre not for everyone, but I suggest you atleast check em out!

Oh yea man your totally a huge fag if you look at fuc**** shoes in a mall. Is that a ****n joke or what. Grow the **** up.
Yep so if I go to the mall looking at shoes to buy, and I get some HB's phone number and eventually bang her brains out, I'm obviously a homosexual because I was originally going to the mall to look for shoes... ;)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
