Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

I want your guys' opinion on these two shoes by Lacoste...

I will mostly be wearing distressed jeans, and I want some shoes that will just look good with them.

Here are the 2 shoes I can't decide on!

and

I want all-white shoes since they have such a nice and clean look and go with just about anything... My style is a bit preppy btw.

Anyone ever own either of these shoes? I'd like some suggestions, thanks!
 

"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.

Second once. Also second choice of gmillar. Actually I like that Nike better.


BUT...


White shoes?


It would depend on your outfit, but white shoes are for running my man. Get gray or black.


My personal choice would be black.

I already own a pair of those Nike's and I have a pair of K-Swiss Classics in black. The Nike one is too big and bulky for my taste. I do like the second choice of gmiller! and you're right ViciousDADogg, it would have to go with my outfit, and white goes with my outfit. Although I'll probably get another dark blue low cut converse canvas sneakers as well.

Oh and Luke!!, you make a lot of sense. The logo in the middle of the sneaker does look tacky.

Thanks for all the input guys! All very helpful!

IMO all of those look kinda chavvy, no offence...

not sure about prices over there but for around £60 you can pick up K-Swiss, some of which're much nicer (and more conservative)

check out the Salvatore Ferragamo website, I got some nice sneakers from them. I think they're called "surrey" - they definitely still sell them over here...

if you have a bit more cash to play around with, get some gucci sneakers with the black + white pattern - girls like them...

Which one of the Lacoste shoes do you prefer more? The first or the second?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I have been through 4 decades of so-called "fashion" - (this is part of the homo/hor Matrix!!) - you must show us your jeans to determine what is best - since your shoes are closest to your pants!! Why base your decision on one pantaloon?

Those are the nastiest, ugliest shoes I've seen this side of "Sketchers". :down:

OP: the first shoes are classier. IMO, holes in shoes (like the lacoste logo in the 2nd pair) just make them look vltra tacky.

FWIW, this is very similar to what I rock. It suits my style. No grandpa-holes here.
 

"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.

Kswiss and Timbaland is for DJs! White shoes are for highschool and college kids. If you're over 25 you need to be wearing Timbaland boots. If you're going to buy shoes go to the maker's site, it's so much cheaper and it's usually free shipping.

You might be the last one in on this, but Timbalands got played out in the late 90's, at least here in the states.

Padron Reserve maduro in hand while finishing my b

"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.
