I was working out in Dallas this past week with my friend Brad Jackson when we started discussing one of his most frequent support emails:

“Why Do Women Test?”

And although this isn’t advice I really “sell”, it is something I “get” so let me fill you in on our conversation because I think it will help to shed some light on a LOT of areas for you.

First, “why women test”

Imagine this.

Imagine I walked up to you and handed you what seemed to be a large 3 carot diamond. Now, no matter what, in the absence of any other decision making stimulus, (like knowing the guy is a diamond expert, etc), what do you do?

YOU GO TEST IT!

Why?

Because diamonds are EASY to fake.

Think about that for a second, because it’s important.

Listen, women aren’t the only people that “test” you in your life. Other men to it too.

And, the main reason is most of the “indicators” of status, confidence, wealth, etc…

… can be FAKED. (Everyone knows to “put your best foot forward” and “fake it ’til you make it”)

Here’s something else to think about.

“Fitness” levels are HARD to fake. You can’t really fake good muscle tone, just as you can’t fake lower levels of bodyfat. (you can use drugs to augment, but it’s not fake)

And, good looking bodies are perceived to be healthy bodies.

Another thing to consider:

People with better looking bodies get tested LESS.

(Also, once you improve your body and get that lean, muscular physique, your wife and/or girlfriend will nag you less… sounds weird, but it’s true. I think I’ll have to explain why this is another time)

Yes, I do realize that I’m making a big claim here.

But here is the gist of why this is.

No one makes a decision in a vacuum. People use other relative stimulus to figure out what to decide when a decision has to be made.

And, most times, other external factors can give a good insight into who you are as a person (ie who your friends are, common friends, etc).

However, since most of the factors that YOU yourself control can be FAKED, there has to be a way for another person to test your AUTHENTICITY.

In other words, they need to see if the person you SEEM to be is really WHO YOU ARE.

(It’s like her saying “Really?”)

There’s an incongruence there that just doesn’t make sense.

This is why having a great looking body matters.

You get tested less. MUCH LESS.

Because, in the other person’s eyes, it all makes sense. It makes sense that you’re confident because you look like you should be. It makes sense that you seem to have you life together because it LOOKS like you should have it together.

Remember, having a lean, masculine body is HARD to fake, and that’s why it is so valuable from an “indicator” standpoint…

… which leads me into point 2.

The Indirect Effects Of Getting a Lean, Masculine Body Are More Potent Than the DIRECT Effects Of Other Self Improvement ‘Products

Case in point: Confidence

You could buy a product on how to increase your confidence levels, learn a few new “bandaid” approaches to fake confidence and self esteem…

… or you could get in better shape and have your confidence levels rise NATURALLY.

You could buy a product on how to overcome women’s “tests”…

… or you could get in better shape and not get “tested”.

Make sense?

Listen, according to psych research, your overall self esteem and self worth are tied to 2 MAJOR threads:

• Your perceived status level
• Your perceived physical attractiveness

In saying that:

I’ve trained sales people that have seen a DRAMATIC increase in closing percentage once they got in better shape.

I’ve listened in as guys have told me that they are now confident enough to actually USE a lot of the self improvement material that they’ve learned now that they’ve gotten in better shape.

I’ve seen guys completely REDISCOVER themselves and REDISCOVER their MARRIAGES just by getting in better shape.

(Partly because the woman can respect and admire him again… and show him off to friends, partly because the MAN HIMSELF feels respectable and admirable again)

I have to confess, I’ve been asked time and time again to put out products on influence, picking up women, status, etc and I’ll tell you straight out… the reason I haven’t isn’t because I can’t teach it…

… it’s because getting THIS AREA of your life handled will often get more of the other areas handled as well… naturally.

Is it the perfect answer?

Of course not.

But I’ve seen the raw power this can have on a man’s life.

MY QUESTION TO YOU: What are your experiences on this?

B

Basically, it’s where we get on the phone with one of our PLATINUM level customers…

… and then go over where he’s sticking… hitting his problem areas from two different perspectives (mine and John’s)

This one just happens to be ALL about fitness related stuff.

There’s some gold in here, my friend (especially towards the end when I talk about “streaking”… you’ll see).

Oh, and thanks goes to Cass for being cool enough to let us share this with you.

Now, on with the fun:

(The woman TIVO’d it… imagine that… lol)

Did anyone notice that they kicked the fat guy off the show WITHOUT even giving him a chance… AFTER they got him all “prettied” up.

Has anyone ELSE noticed that 95% of your favorite “dating” gurus are either in shape or are VERY SLIM?

Do you think they might have kicked the guy off because he didn’t have a LOOK that they could work with?

And yes, I did notice that Mystery made the comment that if you can’t do this in a T Shirt and jeans then you shouldn’t be doing this… but I find it funny that the VERY FIRST thing that they did was change the way ALL of the guys LOOKED.

All that tells me… is that LOOKS DON’T MATTER… if… and ONLY if… you’re REALLY GOOD!

Remember, there’s a huge difference in what people SAY and what people DO…

You’re smart… just read between the lines… what is all of this REALLY SAYING?

Here’s an intro into some of the new research that I’ve been doing on “first impression” psychology.

Notice the part about 11 minutes in where I talk about how EVERYONE thinks that they are great at reading people at first, how research shows that this IS NEVER the case, and how you can begin to take advantage of it.

This is only the beginning… more to follow tomorrow.

Covered:

Diagnosis Bias
Value Attribution
Halo Effect

Plus a touch on loss aversion…

Hey… just a really quick note.

We’re targeting this Friday for beta access of the new membership site.

Currently, there are over 60 videos in place with many more on the way

Don’t forget, beta access not only gets you access to all of our content, BUT it also gets you access to a lot of the products that we’ll be introing to the public… FIRST!

At no charge of course.

So…

AdonisCORE… included (full scale rollout, starting next month)
Adonis Abs… included
Emergency Workouts… included
Explode Your Influence… included (planned for full scale
rollout in February)
Health Club Secrets

… plus, interviews with top lifestyle gurus and staff members that know their shit.

(And we aren’t talking “backyard” knowledge either)

Also, we’re doing 60 minute consults with all of our customers that are looking to get to the next level… these are included as well for the time being until we get things really COOKIN’

(This is known as “stacking the cool”… in case you were wondering)

If you’re on the fence about Adonis, trust me when I say that you will never get more bang for your buck than jumping in now…

Click Here To Find Out More ==> Attracting Women

At 50% off, plus beta access, plus the consults, you can’t lose.

So stay tuned… things are about to get interesting…

More on Friday.

Or why some guys get all of the ladies… without even seeming to try?

Well, the reason that this happens is that these guys have either consciously or unconsciously tapped into the power of mass influence.

Think about it.

Most of the time, both women and men like to hang out with the same guys. They tell their friends that they are going to hang out with them… and their friends are like “Really?”.

Too many times guys fight the easy ways to gain mass influence… by trying to figure out a “formula” for what to say… or what to do…

… but in most cases, that’s pretty tough for most guys to master unless they are going out on the prowl night and day…

(and yes, I did say on the prowl… because that’s the EXACT mentality that most guys have)

Why do you insist on trying to “lock in” with every girl that you meet?

There are easier ways.

So, before I get too ahead of myself… I’m letting you know that in the next week or two, the first volume of my “Weapons Of Mass Influence” series of reports will be ready.

Soon after, I’ll release the second.

These “Weapons” are coming straight from the AdonisCORE project that will reside inside the Adonis Lifestyle membership area… and basically lay down some overlooked fundamentals that most guys are missing out on (myself include back in the day).

The first, Physique As A Weapon, goes into the methodology of why being in shape is important this day and age… for reasons other than health.

I’ll go deeper into “Halo Effect” and how con men use it to misdirect their marks.

We’ll talk about compounding in relation to physical looks, confidence, and social status.

I’ll give you some insights that you’ve never heard in regards to society and the way you look… things that can provide instant change for you.

Be on the lookout the next couple of weeks for some awesome content.

Volume 2: Manipulating Another Man’s Alpha Behavior Through Testosterone…

… is next on the list.

I’ve got the research in front of me… or rather… John sent the stuff that I KNOW you want to know.

Stay tuned.

… like 5.

So I’m sure you understand when a product like Pure Personality comes out… with all of it’s “Looks Don’t Matter” hype… that I’d be a little… ‘um… skeptical.

After all, I DO have a men’s fitness product called “The Adonis Effect… which FOCUSES on looks…

Conflict of interest… hmmm… I think so.

But… I got early access to Pure Personality (don’t ask know… think “black hat” tactics)

And instead of writing about it… I’m gonna just tell you… like right below…

(Which is leading to a new product launch, for which I’ve got a early copy of… let’s just say you’ll want to read this review when I’m through with it this weekend… you might be surprised)

Don’t get me wrong, he’s got some great arguments there… but don’t get mislead…

You gotta read between the lines.

Watch as I explain how ignoring the way you look could be hazardous to your WEALTH!

I’m not gonna say anything about it, other than there are some things in this report… or should I say… some viewpoints that you’ve NEVER heard…

… and some “A HA” moments that you won’t get anywhere else.

Go check it out.

Scathing review coming.

While, on a fundamental basis… one COULD make the argument that this is the case… but it’s very broad stroked in nature.

But what’s wrong with this picture?

Well, not to make a mountain out of a mole hill… but continually saying that “looks don’t matter” gives the impression that you don’t need to work on how you look… that you should just work on other parts of yourself MORE.

You see, I understand where this mantra comes from.

It’s supposed to help guys that are not out there talking… and interacting with women (people) to get rid of their limiting beliefs… which I’m FULLY in support of.

After all, if you’re sitting on the sidelines… it doesn’t matter WHAT you look like… you’ll be dateless.

But… when I say that the whole “looks don’t matter” talk is hogwash… it’s because the research… and your own common sense says otherwise.

The truth is… looks make up a part of a bigger puzzle… and while social proof and social dominance play a larger part in this, physical appearance/attractiveness is still one of the BIG 4 (see research video for proof).

On top of that… there is also proof that shows that LOOKS indirectly influence social proof and social dominance (on average).

Granted, we have to use the averages here to really look at everything… but when it’s all said and done… LOOKS MATTER.

If you went up to a strange women and had a green booger hanging out of your nose… how HARD would it be to generate attraction?

Exactly.

Now. Saying that “looks matter” shouldn’t be a hindrance to you.

In fact, it should be a bit of a wake up call.

Because, here’s how life REALLY works.

Right now, you have a set of qualities that define who you are and how people perceive you.

Thinks like:

Wardrobe
Confidence
Leadership ability
Sensitivity
Finances
Career
Shape of your body

… all of these are just examples of little pieces that add up to one big piece… which is you.

Now, forgive me for “video gaming” this… but picture one of those racing games that you used to play (either now, or back in the day)…

Remember how if you won a race… that you could take your “winnings” and improve your car?

Remember how many categories that you had to choose from?

So, let’s say you chose to increase your acceleration… does that not make for a faster car?

Did increasing this “stat” decrease your other stats?

Of course not.

Let me explain something to you that I’ve known… and talked about for a while.

I actually read this in Napoleon Hill’s “Think And Grow Rich”… and it applies today more than ever.

To make a long story short, a man of significant importance was asked how many expensive suits that he owned… and the man replied that he owned a different suit for every day of the month… 30 in all.

When chided about possibly giving away one of his suits… and asked why he needed so many… his response was alarmingly simple…

“You misunderstand… I don’t need these suits because of the effects that they have on other people… I need them because of the effect that THEY HAVE ON ME!” (paraphrased)

In other words, his “outer game” was helping his “inner game”.

But this isn’t all.

I forget the author… but I recall one man saying that whenever he would have a meeting with someone incredibly wealthy, he would go to the bank and pull out 5000 fungolas IN CASH to carry around in his pocket… a symbol… if you will… for him to feel like he was worthy of sitting in the man’s presence…

(When he met with Donald Trump… he pulled out 15k… lol)

In other words, your OWN SELF WORTH determines your interactions with other people of high self worth.

So maybe you were born with a face that only a momma could love?

Guess what.

Everything in life revolves around your self worth… and if getting your body in decent shape helps that… if wearing expensive clothes help that… if carrying a wad of cash helps that…

… then that’s what you do.

Look, I don’t care how much “inner game” you have… or who you listen to… but unless you are used to interacting with these types of people, you’re likely gonna feel inferior…

… ESPECIALLY since you know that these people haven’t taken anything for granted… and have worked and grown themselves to the position that they are in now.

Remember this: The higher the self worth of one person… the more your “Halo Effect” affects them.

They appreciate it.

THIS is why LOOKS MATTER.

This is why it’s important to build a perfect body…

Here’s our 1st offering on how to get a 6 pack fast… feast your eyes on the The Adonis Crunch

We’ve got more coming in the way of videos (many… I already have 60+ that are going into the membership area) and lots of other cool stuff as well.

Be aware that I’m interviewing Jae Ellis from Ask Romeo on Friday… so that’ll be interesting to say the least.

Oh, back to “how to get a 6 pack fast”… it’s ALL diet… okay, 90% diet…

Seriously.

Most people, even if they are “watching” what they eat… SEVERELY underestimate the amount of calories that they take in on any given day.

(Listen to the Eat Stop Eat/Brad Pilon replay for more details on this)

Here’s last week’s “Interview With Gurus” teleseminar replay…

This week, David Wygant’s on the phone… more info on Wed.

If you’ve been looking for some dynamite fat loss info… this interview with Eat Stop Eat and Adonis Effect co-creator Brad Pilon will surely do the trick.

We’re talking TOP NOTCH info here folks… don’t miss it.

I’m serious. If you’ve been buying into the “think positive” and you’ll succeed bit… but you haven’t seen any results, you’ll definitely appreciate this.

This is yet another reason why I never include any “positive thinking” stuff in anything that I write, including the Adonis Effect. Between this article and “Stockdale’s Paradox“… I just don’t believe it anymore.

There are better ways… as illustrated below.

Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work
by Michael Masterson
www.earlytorise.com

One of the great fallacies in the self-help industry is the notion that you can change your life with “positive thinking.”

The purveyors of positivism, starting with Napoleon Hill and including the people who now promote The Secret, contend that we all have, at our conscious disposal, the means to transform ourselves into walking, breathing success machines.

Some self-help gurus sell positive thinking because they know it is one of the most lucrative products to put in the marketplace. Change one thought and you can change your life! What better promise can you make to an underachieving, wanna-be-rich-and-successful couch potato?

And purely from a profit point of view, they are right. Positive thinking products making quick-and-easy promises account for more than a billion dollars a year in direct-mail and Internet sales. And that’s just for the companies I personally know. The total number is probably multiples of that.

I am not saying all proponents of positive thinking are hucksters. Many are honest men and women who believe in the concept because they use it successfully in their own lives. They are usually people who have always been accomplished, excelling in sports or academics or business almost from the start. Their repeated successes gave them confidence that they can do just about anything. And they readily tap into that underlying feeling of confidence whenever they face a new challenge. In their hearts, they know they can succeed. So when they take on anything new, they can’t help but believe they will be successful.

But what about the rest of the world? The 80 percent of the population that got C’s in school and sat on the bench during ball games and had little or no success in business? What messages are buried in their hearts?

Well, the positive thinkers will tell you that is exactly the point. The people who struggle on without success are failing because they don’t really think they can succeed. If only they could change their thinking, they would do better.

And so the therapy for these self-doubters is positive thinking. Stand in front of the mirror in the morning and repeat 20 times: “I am a good person. I can do anything. I will be successful.”

It’s very appealing. Two or three minutes of talking to your mirrored image, and a mental switch will be turned. Everything after that will come to you effortlessly.

The reality is different.

A study mentioned by Julie Norem in her book The Positive Power of Negative Thinking confirms my belief that though positive thinking may work for people who already have an optimistic way of looking at their abilities, it doesn’t work for people who are pessimists.

Researchers divided their subjects (all identified as pessimists) into two groups. They told one group that, based on their past performance, they were going to do well on a standardized test they were about to be given. And these subjects indicated on a pre-test survey that they did, indeed, feel optimistic about their results. The second group was not given any encouragement. The results? The first group, the temporarily optimistic pessimists, actually performed worse on the test.

I’ve been critical of the idea of positive thinking for years, because I think it is useless to the people who most need help in changing their lives: people who have deeply held negative feelings about what they can accomplish.

Positive thinking works only for those who are emotionally positive. Usually, these are people who have a history of being successful. People who have been good wrestlers, for example, find it easy to believe they will win their next wrestling match. Entrepreneurs like yours truly find it easy to believe their next business venture will be successful.

When you are emotionally positive, you can’t help but think positively about everything.

So thinking positively helps. But it only helps the 20 percent of the population that is already emotionally positive. The rest of the population, the 80 percent of the world that is emotionally negative, cannot be helped by positive thinking.

I knew this was true, though I didn’t know exactly why. When I wrote about it in the past, many ETR readers objected. When I spoke about it at conferences, attendees complained to me afterward. They seemed angry. As if I was trying to take something precious away from them.

They believed I was trying to deny their best chance of succeeding. Meanwhile, what I was really trying to do was get them to stop conning themselves and take the specific actions that would help them achieve their goals.

As the years passed, I would meet some of these same people at other conferences. They were still attending self-improvement seminars, still carrying positive-thinking books, and still upset with me for telling them that positive thinking wouldn’t change their fortunes. It had, after all, worked for the people promoting all those seminars and books.

Year after year. Decade after decade. They stayed poor. They stayed stuck. But they wouldn’t give up their dream of changing their lives quickly and easily by changing their thinking.

I was never able to articulate why it was that I knew positive thinking would never work for these people. But then I read a book that helped me understand: A General Theory of Love. It was written by three eminent psychotherapists and neuroscientists. I have posted my notes on this book on my website (which I recommend you read), but let me tell you very briefly what it taught me that sheds light on this issue.

Essentially, our emotions are deeply rooted in the way our minds are wired. There is a scientific basis for many of our emotional responses and how we relate to others. At the same time, our interactions with the world and people around us have a profound impact on our attitude. This interaction, which can actually alter neural pathways in the brain, begins in infancy and influences our development.

So if you grew up with negative feelings about your ability to achieve success, that’s the way your brain is wired. And no amount of positive thinking will change it.

Here is what the authors of A General Theory of Love have to say about the self-help industry:

“A vigorous self-help movement has championed the hoax that a strong-willed person, outfitted with the proper directions, can select good relationships. Those seduced into the promise of a quick fix gobble it up. But the physiology of emotional life cannot be dispelled with a few words…

“… Self-help books are like car repair manuals: You can read them all day, but doing so doesn’t fix a thing.”

To change yourself from being emotionally negative to emotionally positive, you have to get some solid successes under your belt. And that’s where another success technique – visualization – comes in. But this one works. Visualization is a proven and useful technique for achieving peak performance.

It’s no secret that many of the most successful people in the world – including entertainers, athletes, and CEOs – used visualization to help them achieve their goals.

Take Tiger Woods…

“Visualization has become a major part of my shot-making, especially as it pertains to shaping shots. … It makes a huge difference in your performance.”

And Jack Nicklaus, one of the greatest golfers to ever grace the game, said, “I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp in-focus picture of it in my head. It’s like a color movie.”

Famed sports psychologist Bob Rotella charges thousands of dollars per session to help pro athletes and business executives achieve success through visualization. In addition to coaching pro PGA golfers and top athletes in the NBA and NFL, he coaches high-ranking executives at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, General Electric, Coca-Cola, and many other companies.

Matt Furey – world-class martial artist and top Internet marketer – credits visualization for his success. Matt’s wrestling coach told the scrawny, uncoordinated high school teen he never had a chance. But by using the power of visualization, Matt gained the confidence to win match after match – and became a champion wrestler in high school and college.

Later, Matt became World Kung Fu Champion – thanks, again, to visualization and the very positive attitude that was now buried deep in his limbic brain (the part of the brain involved in emotional behavior).

As I said, people who are emotionally positive about their chances for success have a history of succeeding. They’re doers, not dreamers. So forget about positive thinking. Instead, start rewiring your brain by working toward the goal you want to achieve or practicing the skill you want to master.

At first, you won’t feel very good about what you’re doing, because you won’t be very good at it. But stick with it. Remember that it takes about a thousand hours to achieve competency in anything that’s worthwhile.

Start by setting very modest objectives. Use visualization to help you excel at specific tasks and overcome specific challenges. But don’t waste your time repeating useless mantras. Actions – only actions – will reprogram your limbic brain and turn you into a real “success machine.”

Look, take it from me… I’m KING dreamer…

Nothing ever changes or gets done unless you take some sort of action. Action begets success, success begets confidence, confidence begets more action, etc.

YOU DON’T JUST ACQUIRE CONFIDENCE!

People that tell you to just BE CONFIDENT are giving you advice that you just can’t use.. period.

So take some action… visualize your goal.

If you want to be better with women, visualize how that looks, how you talk, look, and speak.

If you want a better body, visualize how you’re going to look, how you’re accomplishing it, and how you’ll feel afterward.

This is why programs like the Adonis Effect help. Because they take all of the “thinking” out of it and focus ALL of your efforts on the DOING…

… the implementation.

This stuff that really counts.

One of the things that we talk about all the time is the need for you to ALWAYS be improving yourself…

KAIZEN

However, most people worry about the things that they can’t control. Sadly enough, or happily enough, depending on how you look at it… it’s the things that you can’t control that don’t really mean as much.

Things like grooming, being in decent shape, fashion sense, and attitude have much more of a bearing on your success with the opposite sex than how tall you are… or the mole you have on your chin.

With that being said, when people start worrying about being in shape for the sheer fact of trying to find another person… they tend to try EVERTYTHING at the same time.

There’s no discipline at all.

Most just start to crash diet… or go on Fat Kins without knowing what the diet really means.

Some will even try to throw in some long distance running… but what they find is that it really doesn’t work that well.

Look, improving your image via fat loss and getting in shape is a very, very simple thing to do.

Do you want the secret?

Ha… either the Fat Loss Black Book or The Adonis Effect can help you out with that.

But you know, maybe you should just try the Fat Kins Diet… or not.

Check out this video.

If you’ve already ordered… no problems… as soon as it’s finished, we’ll email it to you.

Now… to the good stuff.

I get this email from John yesterday (you REALLY want to read this):

Hey B,

Ok you’re gonna love this s***…

Brad and I are reviewing some new research about social dominance and social stress in the face of socially dominant figures.

Basically the dominant figure can actually end up suppressing the muscle growth of the weaker figure! Also socially dominant figures have greater testosterone…now here is the eff’n cool part…

Depending on your mindset and the way you go about working out you can cause your testosterone to increase and develop the physiology of social dominance as well as the psychology…this s*** is all measurable and studied…

We are going to prepare an upsell/bonus/whatever to show exactly how to approach the workouts to build a psychologically as well as physiologically socially dominant body AND mind…this will be a new workout bonus or upsell, however you want to position it.

There is research to prove that a certain mindset and training style WILL increase testosterone –> higher testosterone is linked to socially dominant males –> socially dominant males have greater confidence and can actually cause socially submissive males to LOSE muscle mass and become more submissive and might actually have a measurable drop in testosterone…

In other words, you either do what we say, follow our workout and program to a tee and become a socially dominant alpha leader…or be a submissive underling who’s testosterone and muscle mass actually drops in the presence of any nearby Adonis Effect Alpha…this s*** is f****d up…

I think Aldous Huxley had this all sorted out with the genetic engineering stuff 70 years ago when he wrote Brave New World!!!

But instead of genetically engineering alpha’s we’ve developed the blueprint on how to actually build one from any man!

Oh man, ok, we’re working through the research over the next few weeks…but I think this s*** is going to be awesome…

…you just wait…you think the last batch of research was good, this one is going to crush!…

JB

So John’s pretty jacked and I can go ahead an tell you that this WILL be another bonus tacked onto the program when they’re done with it.

I’ll also do another “research” video just like the last one as well so that you guys can see where we’re getting this stuff from.

Remember, this ISN’T hype… it’s in the research.

Think about how POWERFUL that is. You walk up to someone and actually CAUSE their testosterone levels to decrease due to your ALPHANESS…

Just like when ladies at work tend to all have their cycles align over time… I can see this being a reality.

A few more tidbits:

If you’ll notice, John and Brad are ALL INTO the research… not hype… not typical misinformation that gets passed down from misinformed trainers and nutritional “experts”… and certainly not BS.

We will always provide you PROOF of what we’re saying… even when some of the claims (like this one) seem a little far fetched.

We’ve got more stuff planned as well and if you’ve already ordered, prepare to see some EXTREME overdelivery in the next month.

You aren’t expecting this.

If you haven’t ordered, get in now because many of these new “releases” are going to be part of a major upsell package once they’re done… but you’ll get them FOR FREE in your unlimited updates.

Here’s a hint ===> It’s all video.

So go ahead and get started… there’s NO WAY we’re letting you down.

Click Here To Go To The Adonis Effect For Men

Toronto On, March 4 2008 – Fitness experts claim to have developed a way to measure and build the perfect male body and a better life.

Creators of the Adonis Index Workout have developed a formula for building an ideally proportioned body. “Research shows that women will find a man most attractive when his body is at its ideal shape and size” says co-creator of the program Brad Pilon. A guy who is closer to his ideal proportions will also enjoy the respect and admiration of other men, allowing him to climb the social ladder faster.

Research shows that men with specific body proportions command more respect, attract more women and often hold more influential positions in society than less favorably proportioned men.

Classic sculptors knew of these proportions, and used them for centuries to create the greatest representations of the ideal male form. Over time, this concept has been forgotten. “We rediscovered the ratios of perfect proportions, and by applying them to modern exercise and physical attraction research, we developed the Adonis Index Workout”, adds Pilon.

The result is a mathematical equation that will determine each man’s ideal body proportions that make him the most attractive to women and more socially dominant. “We call the reaction people have to a guy who is approaching his ideal proportions the Adonis Effect” says author John Barban.

Barban also adds; “Most people can easily pick out the best looking physiques in the gym or on the beach, but nobody can explain what exactly made them better looking. Now we’ve created a way to measure this look, and a workout to get any guy there”.

After that, we go up in rate and pull some bonuses.

I’m considering even pulling the brand new “Explode Your Influence” bonus that I just loaded up on the server.

Look, this program isn’t theory. It’s plug and play.

You get it… quickly figure out your Adonis Index… cross reference it to the manual and find out where to start.

It’s very simple.

If you’re currently exercising (or aren’t currently exercising)… and you’re a man… you’re seriously missing out if you’re not on board.

You’ve seen the research video… you know it’s true… and I’m staking my entire online rep on this thing.

If it doesn’t help you get the body and life you deserve… I’ll straight up eat my laptop.

(Just send me some steak sauce with your refund request. Hell, maybe I’ll even put it on YouTube)

Anyway, all jokes aside… this is powerful, confidence building stuff.

Just by reading the sales page, you’ll learn something…

So… let’s roll… your new life is waiting…

What about the “devil” effect?

Not many have.

You see, apparently, humans have a problem with the “classification” of people in their lives. In other words, when you talk about someone, you usually consider someone to either be roughly good or roughly bad.

What this means is that your overpowering good qualities can and will determine your “unknown” qualities in the eyes of others.

The same is true for your overpowering bad qualities.

For example, let’s say you meet someone that smells bad. Most people will automatically assume that this person is:

1. Dirty
2. A skank
3. Not fun to be around
4. Financially inept
5. Irresponsible

… and so on. This is the “devil” effect in action.

On the flip side, if you see someone that has a pressed suit, clean shoes, in impeccable shape… most people will think that this person is:

1. Successful
2. Financially secure
3. Responsible

In other words, one “trait” dictates the assumption of every other trait.

People assume… without even thinking about it… that the other areas of your life are put together if this one thing is put together.

This is one of the reasons that the Adonis Effect is so powerful… you take a “trait” that you can control and use that trait to create a “halo” effect for yourself.

People look at you and naturally assume that because you’re body looks great… that you’ve got the rest of your life put together.

That’s POWERFUL psychology working in your favor!

Think about it… what things are you doing right now can possibly be causing a “devil” effect on you…

Let’s get them taken care of.

Are your clothes not up to par?

Your shoes… haircut… facial hair?

Another thing… and I’ll keep this short. Having a great body… and even WORKING toward getting a great body provides a foundation for confidence.

You see… you don’t just HAVE confidence.

Confidence comes from success.

And, that’s what happens when you have a great body… or are working on a great body.

I’m oversimplifying this, but women come up to your to feel your muscles… or feel your abs… and you become more confident.

Plus, you’re being successful at something that it related to how you look and carry yourself. You’re improving your “package”… more confidence.

Scientific fact.

Quite frankly, I’ve always recommended that people work on one thing in 3 separate categories of their life at a time. These 3 categories are essentially independent as far as “thought”… but they go a LONG way in improving your quality of life.

They are:

1. Health and fitness
2. Lifestyle, networking, and people skills
3. Financial

Always be working on one thing in each of these categories.

Remember, it’s much easier to have great “game” when you live a great life.

With that being said, if you haven’t picked up your free sample of the Adonis Effect… go grab it and start working on that category.

Another thing, there’s a radio broadcast that you all need to hear on Bobby and Mike’s Seduction Bible. It involves Extramask… a person that was in “The Game” and he sheds some INCREDIBLE light into the world of OCD and depression when you focus all of your energy on “pulling chicks”.

I’ve talked to Stephen Nash about some of this same stuff when he came down last week coincidentally and got a lot of the same responses.

You can check out the audio here… it’s the second one.

Moral: Work on your LIFE… and the women will follow.

… or if it’s just hype?

Well, other than the fact that you SHOULD know by know that I don’t DO hype… lets talk about a few things to help clarify some things.

The true power of this program is it’s ability to harness the power of you in your most attractive physical state.

That’s the ultimate benefit.

Bottom line.

And… I’ve got to tell you, what you are getting ready to see is deceptively efficient and challenging for men of all exercise levels.

I know, I’ve been though the program… and it’s straight up nasty.

I have to confess, this isn’t even MY PROGRAM in the creation since of the word. In fact, I was approached by 3 gentlemen (Craig Ballantyne… of Turbulence Training fame, John Barban, and Brad Pilon both world class trainers in their own rights) about this months and months ago due to my experience and connections in BOTH the fitness and dating/seduction arenas.

I’ll admit, EVEN I was a little skeptical at first… but after looking at the research myself and actually going through the program… I am MORE THAN HAPPY to attach my name to it.

Naturally, I’ve added a bit of my “flair” to it and also my penchanse for overdelivering on every occasion to come up with something that I’m quite sure you’ll be impressed with.

Let’s think about why this whole Adonis Effect situation is important…

First and formost… have you ever been to a club and watched the women dance… or even FELT them dance on you and thought:

“Man… I’ll bet this girl is ROCK SOLID in the sack.”

But why did you make that assumption?

Naturally, you saw how freaky she was or just watched the hypnotic rhythm of her movement and correlated the dancing and the sex together.

I know you’ve done it. I know I’VE done it.

And you know what… for the most part… it’s a pretty valid assumption.

Think about one thing… your body LOOKS like it’s supposed to PERFORM.

Sprinters look like sprinters, not long distance runners. Fighters like fighters. Athletes (in general) like athletes.

In other words, if you can get your body to the point where you look ripped (for lack of a better term)… then the assumption will be made that you can HANDLE yourself in the sack.

Remember, you LOOK like you can PERFORM…

You are the “punisher”… in her eyes.

This is a dynamite first impression that can open up doors for you. Now, this doesn’t mean that you let the other parts of yourself slack.

You still get your wardrobe tight. Keep clean.

However, this “effect” will give you a DECIDED advantage over 99% of other men. I’ve been there and seen it.

(Watch the Adonis Effect video for details)

Tomorrow, we’ll talk about the “Halo” and “Devil” Effects and how they work FOR and AGAINST you in any interactions…

You DON’T WANT to miss this… it’s important stuff.

– from the Dating Black Book

It’s reality check time.

Do you want to know the most important thing that all sales people want from the company they work for?

A GREAT PRODUCT TO SELL!

I can speak from experience when I say this… but when you have a great product… you don’t have to SELL… people will gladly BUY. There is no convincing… no manipulation… no lying.

It’s “here is what it does… here are the benefits… here is how this can solve your problem”

And people go, “Hell yeah, I NEED THAT”

The sales person doesn’t even need to have the greatest pitch in the world… in fact… he/she can be average.

However, if you have a crappy product… only the most crafty… slick… and MAYBE morally unethical sales person can sell it.

And then there’s BUYERS REMORSE… the days, or even hours later that a person goes… “Damn, I shouldn’t have bought/done that”.

Have you ever slept with a girl and then afterward… she won’t return your phone calls?

Buyers remorse.

Maybe you smelled… maybe you were awful in the sack… maybe she thought you were disgusting with your clothes off… hell, maybe she figured out that she was duped by some slick con artist… or maybe she felt taken advantage of because she was drunk…

Contrast that with the guy that has the one night stand and the girl won’t stop calling… psycho… perhaps… but that also means that the product… YOU… is highly desirable.

So much is talked about in the dating/seduction community about “your pitch” or how you talk to women… meet them… and other things that are very important because you DO have to convey your message.

However, I really never hear anyone really talking about the physical package that YOU ARE.

Sure, we talk about what to wear… how to style your hair… whiten your teeth, etc… but no one really talks about how to get in the shape that most women find attractive.

Think about this for a second… most guys in the community may tell you that it’s not as important to be in great shape. I disagree ENTIRELY.

And here’s why:

Given two guys in the bar with similar skills and manner of attire… let’s just say it’s me versus you… if I’m in phenomenal shape… you know… jacked out of my mind… and you’re a little round around the middle…

I’M GONNA CRUSH YOU!

And that’s a fact.

Hell, I’ve seen some of the UGLIEST GUYS with women literally crawling around them because they had style… and they were in great shape.

Do not underestimate this.

I have to confess, there’s another reason that I suggest you really work on your physique. Your confidence will start to skyrocket!

People will start to ask you… “Hey man, have you been working out?”

Women will comment on how great you’re looking… which means that you can start flirting with them a bit…

Oh, and I can also tell you this… when you’re in great shape… you can be an absolute STALLION in the sack… endurance… the strength to toss her around like a rag doll…

In fact, women will ASSUME THIS FACT beforehand… and want to “sample” the goods.

Don’t you think she’ll tell her friends about this?

More social proof for you.

But, I’ll be honest with you… most people just don’t know how to get in the shape that they want to be in.

They want to look like a sprinter… but they workout like a marathon runner.

I’m sure by now you’ve figured out who I am… I don’t think I’ve been that secretive with my real identity. So, with that being the case, if your looking to change the way you look… I strongly suggest that you invest in the Fat Loss Black Book.

I’m talking cutting edge techniques to utterly thrash body fat… with no boring ass steady-state cardio.

Do you need evidence… no problem… I’ve got a shit ton of references to tell you EXACTLY where the research comes from.

Did I mention that it also includes my vaunted “Secret to Fat Loss 2.0″ which you can transpose into ANY GOAL YOU WANT… even when it comes to dating women?

Oh yeah…

I’ll tell you want… when you pick it up… I’ll swing you an unadvertised bonus…

I’ll give you a copy of my report “Explode Your Influence”… aka my social proof manifesto.

Just shoot me an email at angeleyes(at)angeleyesdevilsmile.com and I’ll send it right over.

Look, if you’ve got a great product… you don’t have to sell as hard. Of course, if you’ve got a great product… and you’ve got the skills that we talk about on this blog… and on countless other resources in the community… you’ll be unstoppable…

… and prevent ME from coming to take your women

It’s up to you.

(Oh, and as an aside, this one phenomenon is something that I talk about extensively in the Virtuosity interview that I did with Scot McKay… check it out)

Ha… the Brawny Man talks to his chick about Buyer’s Remorse in this video…

I’m talking about using props…

And no… I’m not talking about some type of “pimp” cane…

No, I’m talking about another accessory… or an interesting peace of clothing.

Here’s an example:

I used to have THE MOST beat up cell phone anyone has ever seen…

Seriously, this thing was awful.

So, what I would do is sit down at the bar, take the crusty bastard out, and sit it down in plane view for everyone to see…

… and here’s what would happen…

I’d have several people come up to me and comment on my phone… some men… some women… some friends that couldn’t believe that I still carried it around.

But, no matter what… my “prop” always had people around me talking… which obviously raises your social proof and your “cool” factor.

And when women would ask me why I still had it… I would tell them…

“Well, you’re over here talking to me because of it, right? So, it can’t be all that bad”

Which totally reframes exactly who you are in her eyes. Now you are intriguing… most guys don’t think like that…

What can you think of that will make you stand out? Some might call it “peacocking”… I wouldn’t take it that far. Instead, get a memorable shirt or watch.

Give people a reason to talk to you and… they will.

(Update: If you frequent the bars a lot, get yourself one of those Alki-sensors. I’ve seen people out and about with them in the past and they make for GREAT fun)

If you had a prop like this jet-powered turbo kart… you’d get all the chicks

If you haven’t… here’s a brief synopsis… and why I feel it’s important for you to watch…

You see, in the movie, Will takes troubled guys… guys that just can’t see to get their lives together with the opposite sex…

… and helps to mold that person into the “best” you that they can be…

He shows them style… ways of communicating… all of the things that help men become “better men”…

I want you to think about something really quickly. Are your results staggering? Are your motivational speeches to yourself not getting it covered?

Are you constantly improving yourself… every day.

Are your current decisions helping you… or hurting you?

I’m sure you can agree that if you can’t get your “why” in line… you’ll never get the “what” that you’re looking for.

If you’re finding yourself at a dead end… I think I might have something to help you out.

You see, I know that I haven’t been in touch lately… but that’s because I’ve been working on something REALLY special.

Remember that movie “Hitch” that I was talking about earlier…

Well, there really is a guy that this movie’s based on… in fact… he did all of the consulting on it.

His name is David Wygant.

Let me tell you… he’s high energy… with a no-excuses attitude that REALLY gets people MOTIVATED…

So I did what any smart person in my position would do…

… I partnered up with him…

… and YourDatingDiet.com was born.

You see, what I’ve found over the years is that MOST people are dieting and working out to LOOK BETTER… it’s not really for health purposes.

Seriously.

So, what I did was think for a minute… which happens quite a bit.

I thought, if more people are working out and getting in shape because they want to look better… then perhaps these same people are looking to ATTRACT someone with their new looks.

Maybe they want to find a new boyfriend/girlfriend… maybe they want to look better for their husband/wife.

If that’s the case… wouldn’t it make sense to create something that would address both of these issues.

And so we did.

I’m not going to go into the back story on this… you can go to the site for that…

… but let’s just say that no one else has done anything like this.

EVER.

You’ll get killer info from myself… the dating guru David Wygant… another dating guru named Scot McKay (whom I did an interview for just last month)… and even famed superstar trainer Craig Ballantyne.

Oh… and there’s a podcast too… very cool.

So go check it out… and pick it up while I’ve got the pricing LOW.

Trust me, it will increase soon.

Your Friend,

Angel Eyes

Now, before I get started… please understand that even though this may seem a little harsh, I feel like everyone should know about it for their own well being.

Okay, enough of the disclaimer…

The other day, I was noticing all of the commercials on TV that had to do with beauty products, hair care, and other “head” stuff. Now, this wasn’t just the women’s stuff either — there were plenty of men’s products as well.

All of these commercials for elaborate hairstyles and “new age” skin cleaners really got me thinking…

I’ve always thought it weird that the same people that can’t afford a $50/mo health club membership were the same people that were spending $200+/mo on so called “self improvement” products.

So I decided to do a little “mini” study.

I asked 50 men from all walks of life this question:

“What do you find more attractive, a woman with a beautiful face but an okay body, or a woman with an awesome body and an okay looking face?”

I was surprised by the answers I received.

Would you believe that over 80% of the men said that they found the women with the okay face and rocking body far more attractive than the beautiful face and the okay body?

Would you also believe that the more successful the men… the more prominent the distinction?

I was floored.

Not only that, but the men that were in shape responded in much the same way as the more successful men.

In fact, only the men that were out of shape and relatively unsuccessful in life preferred the pretty face and okay body.

Now, before everyone goes completely ape cacca on me – let’s see what that really means.

1. It levels the playing field for those that don’t have the “natural gifts”of facial beauty. (this is great news)

2. It means that many people (both men and women) may be focusing on the wrong things when they are trying to “look better” for the opposite sex. (maybe not so great news)

These limited results make sense when you look at it. People that are in shape generally exude a higher level of self confidence – to the point that I actually read an article one day saying that depending on the job, one particular ad agency said that they would rather hire an out of shape person rather than an in shape person because the out of shape person “falls in line” better.

In other words, they tend to have less of a backbone and just do what they’re told.

Seriously, could I come close to making this up?

Not likely.

Also, self confidence is the one common thread that I noticed. The men perceived (big “underline” here) the in shape woman as having much more self confidence and that was attractive to them.

A few others stated that it was attractive to be around a woman that was interested in keeping herself healthy.

Now, this is by far from an accurate study so don’t necessarily take this as the gospel. But, it is what it is.

Next, I think I’ll ask a bunch of women the same question and see what the response is. I imagine it’ll go something like this:

“Well… how much money do they have”?

I’m kidding.

I really think it will turn out the same – but, I’ve been wrong before.

What do you think?

… make sure you “wrap your package”.

Have you ever noticed that romance novels have some of the most elaborate covers known to man… I mean, these things LOOK as if the person that reads it is going to feel the passion that the people on the cover feel with each other.

These covers are meant to get women FEELING a certain feeling.

And even though they say that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover… if the cover looks like crap… the book never gets picked up in the first place.

Remember… a woman has to have an initial reason to continue a conversation once you say hello…

Heck, she has to have a reason to even give you the idea that she’d be open to talking to you.

So wrap your package…

Let’s talk about what that means exactly…

Invest in some great clothes:

Think stylish… find your best girl-friend or a guy that really has his style together and go shopping…

Number one item… shoes. I’ll tell you… a great pair of shoes can really set the stage… This is not an option. If you have crappy shoes… women will notice.

Find a few “different” shirts. The whole goal is to give someone a reason to come talk to you. Hell, I even like it when women try to joke a little bit on what I’m wearing. After all, most of the time… when she’s joking on you… she’s interested… and wants to see how you carry yourself.

Keep your yourself “groomed”. No stray hairs. And, I’m not even talking about being “metrosexual” either… just don’t have a couple of crazy hairs distracting her from talking to you.

Get in the gym. Toning up never hurts and most women like to see that a guy takes care of himself. Invest in a program like Turbulence Training to help get you going.

The whole point is to give off the vibe that you’ve got your shit together… plus… when you look your best… your natural confidence levels skyrocket.

And that, my friend, is the biggest “woman attractor” that you’ve ever seen.

So, by doing all of these things… you’ll naturally begin to attract more women… just from the fact that you are carrying yourself in an entirely different direction.

Mark my word.

If I only looked better…

If I only had more money…

If I only didn’t have this horrible hole in my head…

Okay, so maybe the last one was a little bit of a stretch.

The point is… you can’t make excuses for yourself in ANY part of your life. You are dealt a certain set of cards and, like poker, you can influence the game even if your hand is pretty shitty.

On that note, how many people have you ever seen that just happen to have every thing going for them… and they just seem to throw their lives away…

I see it all the time.

So you see, even if you are dealt a great hand… you can still screw up. Most of the time, the people with the great hands end up being mediocre… because they’ve never had to improve on their skills…

In fact, I’ve seen PLENTY of great looking guys that are absolutely HORRIBLE at picking up women… HORRIBLE. Sure, they might look great… but when they open their mouths… it’s all over.

And it’s funny as hell to see.

You see, here is something that most people don’t know about women…

PHYSICAL LOOKS JUST DON’T MATTER THAT MUCH!

Women are more about the ‘who’, men are more about the ‘what’.

What’s the first thing your buddy asks you when you start going out with a new woman…

So… what’s she look like

Right?

Do you know what women ask…

So… what does he DO

Think about that for a second.

If women only focus on the ‘who” and looks don’t matter as much (I didn’t say that they didn’t matter at all, though. More on this farther down), then just about any man can have just about any woman as long as he can improve his ‘who’.

Don’t get this confused with being a “gold digger” though… it’s completely different.

Most women want to be with a man that’s going somewhere.

(see “Being A Local Celebrity“)

So… quit worrying about the things you can’t change. Don’t worry about changing your eye color or if your one lip has a funny shape… or the fact that you aren’t 6′ 4″

Instead… worry about the things that do matter.

1. Get a sense of style. Get a cool haircut. Buy some stylish clothes, make sure you have some that push the envelope a little. A great looking guy in regular, out of style clothes will lose to the not so great looking guy with style… almost everytime. Women love a man with a sense of style.
2. Get in the gym. Face it, even if your face looks like someone hit you with an ugly stick… if you make positive changes to your body, people will notice… and it’ll pay dividends.
3. Clean up what you can clean up. And I’m not talking about going all “metrosexual” here. If you have a few stray nose hairs… fix ‘em. Teeth yellow… think about whitening them.
4. Set a good scene. Don’t bring a woman back to your place and it be completely destroyed… are you kidding me? I don’t care how drunk she is… she’ll remember.
5. Most importantly, if you do get to “do the dirty”… make sure to really focus on her and PAY ATTENTION. Do this well and she’ll tell all of her friends how “special” you are… which raises your social proof and your “celebritydom”… which eventually means more fun for you

Is this an exhaustive list? Absolutely not.

Do you know the definition of “kaizen”?

It means “small, constant improvements”…

Therefore, always be working on improving something in your life… if you think more money will help you… find a way to make more money…

No excuses.

The real reason that you want to only worry about the things that you can change revolves around confidence… if you look great and put together… you’ll feel that way…

… and you won’t have any other excuses… so got ahead and talk to her…
