"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.

Where does a mature man shop for clothes? Like if he's in his mid to late twenties. Thanks for any input.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

:rolleyes: Shop where ever your particular 'style' of clothing is sold. Clothes do not make the man, they only demonstrate who he chooses to represent to the world.

I am 32 and shop at Old Navy. Also when Express has their sales you can pick up some really cool stuff for cheap.

For me it's Old Navy for casual, and Men's Warehouse for dress clothes.

wear whatever looks good on you, and that you feel comfortable in.
brand tags dont mean anything.
 

"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.

penkitten is right on! Brand tags don't mean sh-t. I've shopped for clothes just about everywhere, from Walmart to Nordstroms. Wear what you like...but don't be afraid to mix it up a little bit either.

I am a fan for 7 diamonds and MBX

You can get some on EBAY or you will have to look for them

Nordstroms carries them but they carry the lame ass stuff.

I can walk in anywhere in a cool shirt and jeans and get attention.

good POSTURE and moving at a slow comfortable pace are key.

I just turned 40 and am sleeping with 21 to 27 yo's all 8.5 to 10 HBs
 

"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.

Man..... that depends on a lot of things....

If you live in NYC and you hang in Mahatten what you wear is going to be radically different than if you live So. Cal and you hang at the beach.

In Columbus, I shop at Kauffmans. There is one right in the Mall I walk through every day when Im coming from my office to where I park. I buy when stuff is on sale and I can usually get really decent deals.

For example they are having 50% off sale starting Monday.... Hagger chino style slacks for $25 bucks... they normally sell for 52. If you find a store that has sales like that you can get some really nice clothes but you have to go in frequently. Dont buy unless its on sale.

Ive purchased Tommy stuff cheap, Polo, Nautica ect...

Clothes is but just one tool in the bag, you cant ignore them ESPECIALLY if you are older. You're not going to get the eye of the successful 35+ if you dress out of Kmart. Unless she is just looking for a roll in the hay.

Birds of a feather flock together.

You must try factory stores. I love to shop at the Jackson Outlet Village (that's in Monmouth Cty. in NJ). You have all the great designer clothes for a fraction of the price you would pay at other stores. You might not always find the stuff that you have in mind, but since there's always some kind of clearance, you're bound to get a bargain somewhere.

One time I bought Calvin Klein dress pants for $29 each. Another time I bought great Gap pants for $21 each and a nice sweater for $10 !

Also search on the internet for men's style. You can get a good idea about the current trends on the websites of the designers. look for the websites of Gap, Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, etc.

Also check out www.askmen.com. It's a great site by all means, but the relevant part is the fashion section. It has lots of tips on dressing for all occasions and the latest trend information.

About.com also has a nice fashion section. Check it out.

One good place is Ross. My natural (17-63lays)friend introduced me to it.

Ross has designer shirtsc for 8-10 bucks . It's all designer stuff that didn't sell and would sell for 6-10 times the amount in regular stores. You do have to go frequently cause the good stuff gets picked through.

Another good place is Internationalmale.com. Lots of really unique stuff which would cost 600-900 bucks. It's amazingly inexpensive.

It's very difficult to get really unique clothing for men. Unless you're spending big bucks. International male is the only place available.
