"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm looking to redo my wardrobe. Think along the lines of the more causal and conservative styles featured in GQ. Also keep in mind that I'm 21.

So does anyone know a good website to get fashion ideas?
 

"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.

Well the GQ magazine is good. It has a range of different styles, both casual and smart. I have found websites to be too outdated and a little to geared towards only 1 particular style.

Having said that, try http://www.asos.com/Man/1001/default.aspx

Redoing your wardrobe at age 21? Got $5,000? If so, no problem!

Just gotta be economical! 7 Dress shirts (worn casually), 2 nice belts, 2 nice shoes (one casual, one dress), 7 pairs of designer jeans, 1 hoodie, 6 solid color under-shirts, 3 t-shirts with logos and good neck cuts.

Good luck!

Instead of 7 pairs of jeans, go for 4 pairs of jeans, 2 casual trousers, and 1 smart pair of trousers.

Well, I was going off my own wardrobe but what you say makes sense. I have a pair of sweats too (OMG DONT TELL NOBODY!!!).

And even some outdoors clothes for when you go do outdoor activities (i like the adidas/sports) types with lines down the sides usually or solid colors.

"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.

Don't listen to askmen.com, I asked women to review their suggestions and the women dogged that site bad.

The best way to learn fashion is to ask women what looks cool until you have *some* idea what's going on. At least they will get you some good baseline stuff to fall back on.

In stage II you should begin conveying your personality through your wardrobe. Women can still lend suggestions but you'll be adding more of your own personal style. If you're a total clueless guy though I'd let women get me started with a base wardrobe. Lance tried to make a fashion video but IMHO it didn't come out nearly detailed enough.

Good jeans and shoes are essential. At least one brown and one black set of shoes, I keep two of each in case something happens. I also always make sure to keep an extra set of jeans and a top in my car in case something gets on me somehow.
