"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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 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.

i agree.. there are so many other aquatic colognes out there that are much better than acqua di gio.Michele said:
acqua di gio and cool water are the safest colognes i can think of.. and that's not a good thing.
also.. acqua di gio and other fragrances like it are suited more for casual/everyday use.. for a date, use something that has a more sensual aroma.
vanilla is good year round, but is especially good during winter (for spring/summer, a cologne with strong floral notes makes sense.. but NOT during winter when the smell of flowers is an anomaly).
as for me..
i use givenchy pi, chanel allure homme sport, and 2 others that i won't mention for the same reason that Solomon gave (i'm a selfish sob). the cologne i use depends on the season and my mood at the time.
i've used many different colognes over the years.. the one most important piece of advice i can give to anyone: stay away from jean paul gaultier, unless you don't mind smelling like a girl. it's the typical metrosexual wannabe fragrance.
"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.
Issey Miyake - L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme
-My favorite scent. Its just...fantastic..its a lemony scent that is just beautiful. It has really good ongevity, ok sillage, and the girls love it.
Escada - Magnetism
-Very nice as well, probably second favorite...this deep, bold cologne that is a touch feminine and starts of like grape soda. Sounds weird, but its great.
Givenchy - Pi
-At first too strong and offensive, but it cools down nicely. Girls really like it
Victoria's Secret - Very Sexy 2 for Men
-I usually do one spray of this and one of Issey combined, but this is a nice vanilla kind of scent, although a little chemically
Claiborne - Candies
-Playful, happy scent. Its refreshing to smell.
Bvlgari - Bvlgari Extreme
-Not sure how to describe it..i'm all out for now, but its really good. Damn.
lol, its my fav store, I buy a ton of stuff there, but I love Fierce, its very masculine, yet not too strong, and works perfect in every season. The best thing about it, is that I love the smell.Bluesteak said:
It would be dumb to wear something you don't like. Keep that in mind, or it will drive yourself crazy

"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.

Hard to find but if you go to a perfume store, they might have it. Only use a little of it, spray on wet hands and apply on skin. Females find it irresistible. Don't go buying all of it now. Also check out body sprays, Bod came out with a new one called Body heat, don't use the fruity ones that evryone has.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
