"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'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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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.
