So I like wearing shirts sometimes without anything on them. I was thinking of getting a purple shirt with out anything on it. So I would like some opinions, what do you think?
"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.
would you wear a purple shirt?

"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.

Purple looks pretty aweful on most people, especially a big block of purple. Purple-based pattern? Much better. I have a pretty sweet-looking shirt that has patterns with several shades of purples, and a tiny bit of other colours for effect, and I keep getting good comments about it. I doubt I'd get many good comments over a big block of purple draped over me.
That being said, if you're comfortable wearing a purple shirt, go for it. Heck, if you feel like wearing pink, go for it. ("It's not pink, it's fierce SALMON!") It's not the colour (as long as the colour suits you), it's how you wear it.

Gray sportscoat? I dunno. I'd go with black pinstriped, myself, but grey works, too, I guess. It definately works with dark jeans, though.
"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 don't know about purple shirt but I wear a purple tie to work a lot and girls love it.

Touché. I guess I had my dad's ugly old light gray sportscoat in mind.Francisco d'Anconia said:Charcoal grey, something with a bit of texture.
