Keep some in your front pocket. > When in doubt, always kiss the girl. > Buy expensive sunglasses. Superficial? Yes, but so are the women judging you. And it tells these women you appreciate nice things and are responsible enough not to lose them. > No selfies. Aspire to experience photo-worthy moments in the company of a beautiful woman. > Cobblers will save your shoes. So will shoe trees. > The cliché is that having money is about not wasting time. But in reality, money is about facilitating spontaneity. ---

eh idk, all but the sun glasses one seem pretty legit. Although I never lose them, I’ve always liked cheap sunglasses. Got a pair of fake aviators from some peddler in Italy, He wanted 10, talked him down to 5. Still have them and it’s been almost 4 years? ---

Shoe trees are a good point if you have decent dress shoes. But as Motocross said, it’s basically how to be a huge turd and try to hard. I buy expensive sunglasses only because they’re prescription 😛 ---

ummm i dont see the logic behind this being a guide to douchebaggery. not going out too much, not drinking too much, tipping appropriately, eating well, not bragging about silly stuff, appreciating quality, etc. etc. pretty sure this is about being a well-rounded person with some other stuff thrown in. ---

“When in doubt, always kiss the girl” Sounds like a prerequisite for rape charges to me… And I thought you get the girl by being an annoying douchebag? ---
