"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.

Now we all know that appearances are tricky. Some people can pick up HB10s wearing a burlap sack, and others only feel like a DJ when they have their lucky pants on and a rolex.

So what are you opinions on clothing, peacocking items, etc. Do you keep it simple? Do you have your own personal style? Do you try to differentiate yourself from the others by having your own unique items/accessories/clothes?

Finally, have you noticed women reacting to some of those things better than others?
 

"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.

Advice from a girl:

Women can INSTANLY tell if you're a wannabee! If your purpose of wearing hip hop gear or a suit is to impress even though they are not your usual clothing, then do not wear them, you will come off as a desperate wannabee. Women will (secretly) make fun of you.

Wear what you feel is comfortable for you but not to the extent where you are looking like a bum. Women want confident men. If you act and move with confidence you will (secretly) be praised by women.

"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.

I usually just sport, jeans and a t-hirt. But I'm not into the whole baggy clothes style, skin tight style or vintage thing, so my jeans and shirts are 'normal or well-fitted'. If that makes sense.

But as said before, it matters a lot on your attitude. Peacocking in what I wear, isn't normally my thing, but I peacock a lot in my attitude. Though when I'm around my friends who peacock all the time, I tend to dress a little more like they do.

I wear what I like, and comb my hair the way I like. Granted it's fairly standard fair, nothing terribly fashionable or trendy. But it's clean, classic, and certainly not dated. To hell with the women that focus on those details.
