Where do you guys buy your clothes? I used to be a sheep and buy all Abercrombie, Hollister, etc. but now i want to get my own style. Nothing too over the top though.
"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.
Yeahhh

"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.
I like Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom, though those can be a bit costly for some designer lines, especially for a high school student if you aren't getting your parents to buy the clothes (and they probably don't want to spend as much on clothes as you'd want them to anyway).
I like clothes that are higer qualify because I am able to feel more comfortable in them. They feel nicer and to the trained eye, the quality becomes visibly different. Chances are the women you know are more knowledgable about this then men and more likely to notice/admire your nicer clothes.
Within the past couple years Macy's has imroved a lot in my opinion and usually has cool stuff I like. It is also much more affordable than the previous two I mentioned.
Go shopping with a girl, but not one you are interested in necessarily and get her opinions as you pick out clothes for yourself. Don't let her pick the clothes, you pick out things in a style you like and then have her give opinions on the things you already approve of.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Where don't I get my clothes from?
I find my stuff everywhere. From the standard highschool wear (AE, A&F, Hollister) to other things (department stores, internet). I buy what I like. The one thing I hate more than anything are the people that only seem to shop at one store, and I think you know what I'm talking about (the walking billboards LOL). Try bluefly.com, they've got a lot of high-end threads (and brands you'd normally never hear about) at decent prices.
I mean I look many places for my clothes and may find 1-2 things (if I'm lucky) at any one spot. The best thing about finding your own style is the journey. Wear what makes you feel good and it'll look good on you.

War Against Betaism
Master Don Juan
I'm not too concerned about what I wear, as long as what I wear is nice. I mostly hang out with asians and they say I dress like a white boy because all my shirts are either from American Eagle, Aeropostle, and Hollister. What they usually wear is the stuff you see from Metro Park with those unique designs. I actually stand out in my group because of my clothing attire.
Tapout shirts are like $20 bucksCarbonFX said:Express Fashion & Guess?, not bad deals sometimes always use the 15% off coupon though saves alot of money in the long run.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
What area are you from? In the Chi we got them for 50-60$ No idea behind the price difference. Or maybe they were different shirts altogether I just didn't realize, yeah online they are in the 20's my bad.S.Y.L said:Tapout shirts are like $20 bucks
