To be honest, most of my stuff is bought at Ross.
"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.
Where do you guys go to buy your clothes?

"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.
Check out Rugged Wearhouse. I bought $10,000 worth of casual/sportswear clothes there for about $500 between 2006-2010. There are probably other chains like this in other areas.
Tips: most of the clothes that end up in places like this are mislabeled as to size, especially shoes, get good at eyeballing your size and trying stuff on.
Never, ever pay retail for casual clothes.

"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.

^This. That's what I use.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:
I bought tonnes of clothes from this place in the last 6 months. I stopped buying here now because I have enough clothes from ''one designer'' - you have to mix and match clothes from different places to give it a unique look. You don't want to become a mannequin for one store/designer.jimmy18 said:
Also with Zara the clothes are quite cheap which means the material and the way its been put together (say stitching) is poor to average. But the cut is copied directly from major designers and looks good.
These days I shop at mid range retailers like All Saints, Hugo Boss, and Calvin Klein. I'd prefer to buy clothes from the likes of balenciaga, Gucci and Alrxandra McQueen but its beyond my budget at the moment.
