"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.

"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.

"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.

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.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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

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'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.
