			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best thing about not being a self proclaimed &#8220;guru&#8221; is that I can tell you things about myself without feeling like I&#8217;ll lose sales&#8230; or that you&#8217;ll lose respect for me&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; or whatever.</p>
<p>And in saying that, I&#8217;m gonna put something out there that I still need to work on.</p>
<p>I do it all the time.</p>
<p>I wonder why I do it.</p>
<p>And I think I have the answer.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s my problem you may ask?<br />
<strong><br />
APPROVAL SEEKING</strong></p>
<p>Man, I can&#8217;t tell you the number of times I&#8217;ll make a comment that I don&#8217;t need to in order to try to <strong>BOOST</strong> my worth in another person&#8217;s eyes.</p>
<p>I do it <strong>MUCH</strong> more than you&#8217;d think.</p>
<p>I mean, just the other day I made a comment to a guy about how I finished in a certain place in a &#8220;contest&#8221;&#8230; without even trying (to which I thought to myself after I said it, &#8220;Damn, that sounded like a douchebag ploy to me&#8230; what was I thinking?&#8221;)</p>
<p>But, and I could be wrong, but I think that I know why I do it&#8230; and maybe you can relate&#8230; and it will help you out as well.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see:</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m IMPATIENT at times.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And I&#8217;m COMPETITIVE as hell.</strong></p>
<p>When you meet a new contact or woman&#8230; or whatever&#8230; a part of you <strong>WANTS</strong> the other person to <strong>KNOW</strong> about your successes, and how you kick ass, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; especially when it&#8217;s a &#8220;cold&#8221; meetup (where the person doesn&#8217;t know anything about you).</p>
<p>I mean, let&#8217;s face it&#8230; we&#8217;ve <strong>ALL</strong> been in situations where a person will treat you a certain way <strong>UNTIL</strong> they find out that you are &#8220;that guy&#8221;.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how many conferences I&#8217;ve been to where I meet people, talk for a while, and then when they find out that I&#8217;m part of this <a href="http://www.adoniseffect.com">Adonis Effect</a> project&#8230; or the fact that I&#8217;ve got over <a href="http://twitter.com/BradHoward">20,000 followers on Twitter</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and their attitude <strong>COMPLETELY</strong> changes.</p>
<p>(which is probably all my fault anyway because I&#8217;m such an &#8220;underground&#8221; guy&#8230; and on second thought, did I just do it <strong>AGAIN</strong> above&#8230; <strong>TO YOU</strong>:  LOL)</p>
<p>Hell, I&#8217;m not gonna lie.  I even try to <strong>ENGINEER</strong> situations and conversations so that people find out about these things <strong>AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE</strong> because of the difference it makes.</p>
<p>So, now that I&#8217;m thinking about it&#8230; I&#8217;m wondering if what I have&#8230; and what you may have (if you&#8217;ve dealt with the same things)&#8230; isn&#8217;t really an <strong>APPROVAL SEEKING</strong> mechanism at all.</p>
<p>Maybe its just that we <strong>KNOW</strong> that we need to somehow get it out there&#8230; that we need to &#8220;frame&#8221; ourselves as quickly as possible, so that others take us seriously.</p>
<p>Think about it.</p>
<p>How many times have you met someone&#8230; only to find out later that the person you met was some UBER hot shot and you now wish you&#8217;d made a better impression, but you didn&#8217;t really try because you didn&#8217;t <strong>KNOW</strong> that the person was a big wig.</p>
<p>So you <strong>ALMOST</strong> treated the person as if they were wasting your time.</p>
<p>Hell, I&#8217;ve done it.  I&#8217;ve been in situations where I&#8217;ve been in my own little world&#8230; and been so oblivious to the fact that this person in front of you could be the difference in an extra 100k this year.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s my thoughts for today.</p>
<p>Is it approval seeking behavior?</p>
<p>Or is it &#8220;translation of value&#8221; so that you are treated with more respect?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking the latter.</p>
<p>Out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>[Here's a post I wrote a year ago and I decided to bring it back to the front because I had someone send me an email about it...]</strong></p>
<p>There are a bunch of things that I have on my mind right now&#8230; so I think I&#8217;ll vent a little bit.</p>
<p>First, let me ask you a question.</p>
<p>Do you feel <strong>BAD</strong> about the fact that you&#8217;re on this blog (or any other blog, forum, whatever) trying to figure out this dating/seduction thing?</p>
<p>Do you close your browser when people walk by your computer so people don&#8217;t make fun of you or think you&#8217;re weird?  </p>
<p>(I know, that&#8217;s two questions)</p>
<p>Rant start:</p>
<p><strong>HOW DARE YOU FEEL BAD</strong> for trying to better your life.  <strong>HOW DARE YOU ALLOW THE MASSES OF PEOPLE</strong> influence the way you feel and in doing so, interfere with where you want to go in life.</p>
<p>Quit being a fuckin&#8217; sheep.</p>
<p>Look, you have to <strong>MAKE THINGS HAPPEN</strong> in your life.  Nothing is given.  You, my friend, need to grab your balls and make it happen.</p>
<p>And to hell with anyone that gets in your way&#8230; seriously.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got way to many negative people out there that don&#8217;t even <strong>KNOW</strong> that they&#8217;re being negative&#8230; talking to you about how your wasting your time&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t work&#8230; blah, blah, blah.</p>
<p>On that note, have you even noticed that the people in your life that try to force relationship advice down your throat are the ones that have shitty relationships&#8230; think about that.</p>
<p>Or&#8230; the people that have crappy finances or get this&#8230; a stockbroker that <strong>DOESN&#8217;T EVEN OWN STOCK</strong> trying to tell you about what stock to invest in.  (I see it all the time, don&#8217;t get me started)</p>
<p>There are only a few people in this world that get exacty what they want out of life.  This is because they refuse to compromise what they want with the so-called-reality of the situation that oh-so-many fuckin&#8217; losers talk about.</p>
<p>Self improvement is <strong>HARD WORK</strong>&#8230; that&#8217;s why <strong>NO ONE DOES IT</strong>.</p>
<p>People are satisfied &#8220;staying in one place&#8221;.</p>
<p>Fuck that.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t moving forward&#8230; you&#8217;re moving backward.  It&#8217;s that simple.  </p>
<p>You have to rise <strong>ABOVE</strong> all of the mainstream bullshit and go for what <strong>YOU</strong> want.</p>
<p>Guess what?  </p>
<p><strong>Mainstream people</strong> aren&#8217;t rich.</p>
<p><strong>Mainstream people</strong> aren&#8217;t great with women.</p>
<p><strong>Mainstream people</strong> always compare their problems to each other&#8230; like &#8220;Oh yeah, you think that&#8217;s something&#8230; listen to what happened to me.&#8221;  What&#8217;s up with that?  It&#8217;s like reverse bragging.</p>
<p><strong>Mainstream people</strong> are status quo (status quo is <strong>BORING</strong>).</p>
<p><strong>Mainstream people</strong> are afraid of life&#8230; afraid of risk.  Yet, they&#8217;d rather sit at home and bitch about how crappy their husband/wife is when all they needed to do was find someone else and <strong>NOT SETTLE</strong>.</p>
<p>Case in point, I did another podcast/interview with <a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/virtuosity.php">Scot McKay</a> the other day and we got talking about his wife afterward&#8230; phenomenal woman!  Hell, he was telling me how he went through the process of selecting his wife&#8230; and not settling for anything less than he deserved.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little hint for you:  <strong>YOU DETERMINE WHAT YOU DESERVE THROUGH YOUR ATTITUDE ON LIFE</strong>.</p>
<p>Going for what you want is brave.</p>
<p>Bravery means that you do something <strong>EVEN THOUGH YOUR AFRAID OR APPREHENSIVE </strong>about the possible result.</p>
<p>Talking to a woman when you have approach anxiety is brave.</p>
<p>Seriously, let your ego go.  Stop worrying about what people think of you and do whatever it is that you deem necessary to improve yourself&#8230; and take no prisoners.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve gained a few pounds&#8230; take care of it (get the Adonis Effect this month&#8230; lol).<br />
Hate your job&#8230; get a new one&#8230; or start a side business (great idea!)<br />
Hate your chick&#8230; dump her (don&#8217;t wait until you&#8217;ve found someone else)</p>
<p>Use your pain to <strong>POWER</strong> your way through your hurdles&#8230; and to hell with anyone that gets in your way.</p>
<p>Only listen to people that <strong>ARE</strong> or <strong>HAVE BEEN</strong> where you want to be, period.</p>
<p>Now, here&#8217;s something that you might want to be aware of:</p>
<p>A well known company (I&#8217;ll have to find the article later), when asked what expenses led to the highest <strong>ROI</strong> (return on investment) per dollar spent&#8230; the <strong>OVERWHELMING</strong> answer is <strong>TRAINING</strong>.</p>
<p>Higher than marketing dollars, etc&#8230; <strong>TRAINING</strong>.</p>
<p>I have a perfect example for you.  I see tons of guys (and gals) in the gym wasting their time and efforts trying to get in shape because they have <strong>NO IDEA</strong> what they are doing.</p>
<p>This is especially true for the guys because the gym should be a MANLY place where guys shouldn&#8217;t need any direction.  (Stubborn, but potentially expensive in TIME)</p>
<p>Now, if these same people that are only doing cardio (bad idea, but not going into it) would shell out a little bit of dough to get a program worked up for them&#8230; they&#8217;d see much faster results.</p>
<p>But, no&#8230; they don&#8217;t want to <strong>WASTE</strong> their money&#8230; they&#8217;d rather waste their <strong>TIME</strong>.</p>
<p>Look, if given the opportunity to learn from someone <strong>DIRECTLY</strong> that knows more on the subject than you do&#8230; do yourself (and your <u>TIME</u>) a favor and figure out a way to pony up.</p>
<p>Quit running around &#8220;headless&#8221;.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that LeBron James offered to pay Warren Buffett a shit ton of money <strong>JUST FOR HIS TIME</strong> so that he could learn how to effectively manage <strong>AND GROW</strong> the newfound wealth that he had fallen into.  Just offered it out because he knew that he was in unfamiliar territory.</p>
<p>Even if what he paid was <strong>HALF</strong> of what he was worth, it would have been worth it.  In fact, Buffett will admit the James can call him <strong>ANYTIME HE NEEDS TO&#8230; FACT</strong>!</p>
<p>Moral:  free advice can be good&#8230; but <strong>PAID</strong> advice is always better.</p>
<p>Two people that I know of that you&#8217;d do well to give your money to:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/davidwygant.php">David Wygant</a><br />
<a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/virtuosity.php">Scot McKay</a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know any of the others very well personally (although I do converse with Xuma, Thundercat, and Stephen Nash on a regular basis), so I don&#8217;t know if anyone else will get you results.</p>
<p>Also, I was ready around the other day when I came across <a href="http://sinnsofattraction.blogspot.com/2008/02/nobody-gives-it-you.html">this post by Sinn</a>.  Now, I don&#8217;t know him at all (although someone should probably get me his email&#8230; you <u>know</u> I&#8217;m a voracious networker)&#8230; but this post resonates with me.</p>
<p>Even though much of the information via email/blogs/newsletters is free&#8230; these things take <strong>TIME</strong> to produce.  Remember, <strong>TIME</strong> is the only commodity that you <strong>CAN&#8217;T GET BACK</strong>.</p>
<p>Therefore, it&#8217;s the most important resource you have.</p>
<p>Yet people are bitching and complaining that he has stuff for sale&#8230; and that he should give it <strong>ALL</strong> away for free.</p>
<p>Let me tell you something, folks:  <u>Money buys time</u>.</p>
<p>It can buy <strong>YOU</strong> more time&#8230; it can buy other people&#8217;s time.</p>
<p>The fact is, most of the people that are producing great content can do so because they have <strong>THE TIME</strong> (theirs or others) to do so.</p>
<p>And in this day and age, that takes money.</p>
<p>I challenge <strong>ANYONE</strong> to put together a 200 page ebook of top flight content and give it away for free.  Just the <strong>TIME</strong> that it takes to research what you&#8217;re writing about is monetizing enough.</p>
<p>I can attest, it took John and Brad (partners in the <a href="http://www.adoniseffect.com">Adonis Effect</a>) 5 months to get all the workouts, photos, videos, nutrition, etc together just for one program (there are 3).  </p>
<p><strong>AND THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR</strong>!</p>
<p>The only way that people can give time (blog posts, podcasts, etc) is if they have the money to be able to allot that time.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m trying to say is that people provide services that have value&#8230; and you shouldn&#8217;t feel cheated when someone asks you to pay for said service, <strong>ESPECIALLY</strong> if it&#8217;s going to reduce your learning curve and save <strong>YOU</strong> a bunch of time and hassle.</p>
<p>So, do what the big players do:  find someone that knows more about a subject than you do and pay them for their time&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; just like you do with lawyers&#8230;<br />
&#8230; and accountants&#8230;<br />
&#8230; and business consultants&#8230;</p>
<p>Remember, reinvestment in <strong>YOURSELF</strong> is the best investment you can ever make.</p>
<p>If you want to get better in something&#8230; commit your wallet to it&#8230;</p>
<p>Because if your money&#8217;s in it&#8230; you&#8217;re in it.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t take any shit off of anyone in the process.</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s your life and in life, everyone plays by the same GLOBAL rules, even though we all have different starting points.  Your decision&#8230; is to either learn all the rules by whatever means necessary&#8230; at the fastest pace possible&#8230; or to sit on the sidelines bitching about how &#8220;the game&#8221; just isn&#8217;t fair.  </p>
<p>Note:  Indecision is a decision.  It&#8217;s a decision to conform to life, instead of having life conform around you.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s it&#8230; I&#8217;m done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes&#8230; just be an illusion.&#8221;<br />
   &#8211; Javan</strong></p>
<p>Pain&#8230; loneliness&#8230; guilt&#8230;  unworthiness&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; these are some of the feelings that I had the last time I went through a breakup.</p>
<p>I think we all do.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m gonna switch gears a little bit today and talk about how to get your ex back.</p>
<p>I have to confess, I&#8217;ve made my mistakes in life and Lord knows I&#8217;ve put myself in some embarrassing situations in the past&#8230; done some things that I wished I hadn&#8217;t&#8230; said some things that weren&#8217;t too cool&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; basically, did things when pursuing an ex that made me <strong>FEEL WORSE</strong> about myself when they didn&#8217;t work out.</p>
<p>The sad thing:</p>
<p><strong>I KNEW THAT THEY WEREN&#8217;T GOING TO WORK</strong>&#8230; but I did them anyway&#8230; because I was coming from a desperate and needy place that no man or woman should ever come from when dealing with an ex. </p>
<p>And you can judge me if you want&#8230; but I&#8217;ve learned some very powerful lessons from these experiences&#8230; and I&#8217;ve YET to make these mistakes again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m about to give you a roadmap&#8230; a checklist of things to do to get your ex back (or figure out that it&#8217;s not even worth it).</p>
<p>(As an aside, I just picked up a masterful piece of work called &#8220;<a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/magic">The Magic Of Making Up</a>&#8221; the other day that goes into this process with a fine tooth comb.  What I&#8217;m going over is just the tip of the iceberg&#8230; stuff from my own experiences.  If you&#8217;re in this position right now, picking this book up will be like getting a new lease on life.  Dead serious.)</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it.  Sometimes we break up over petty things.</p>
<p>Sometimes they are a little more serious.</p>
<p>Regardless of the situations, we can generally boil it down to one thing per sex:</p>
<p>1.  For men, the problems arise when they don&#8217;t feel &#8220;admired&#8221; by their woman<br />
2.  For women, the problems arise when they don&#8217;t feel &#8220;appreciated&#8221; by their man</p>
<p>These are the number one reasons that men and women leave&#8230; the root cause on average.</p>
<p>No matter if you cheated, or were cheated on&#8230; or whatever&#8230; the likely cause of your current distress revolved around one of these two symptoms.<br />
<strong><br />
Trust is generally a cop out.</strong></p>
<p>If you set down and honestly think about it&#8230; you can see that it&#8217;s likely true in your scenario too.</p>
<p>So here we are&#8230; alone&#8230; distraught&#8230; possibly thinking of suicide&#8230; fighting off thoughts of that person being with someone else&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and we want them back.</p>
<p>First things first.</p>
<p>Get out a calendar.</p>
<p>Go buy one if need be.</p>
<p>You need a 30 day &#8220;cooling off&#8221; period&#8230; you really do.</p>
<p>Trust me on this one.</p>
<p>So what you&#8217;re gonna do is take that calendar and circle a day 30 days from today&#8230; here is the day that you give yourself permission to contact your ex.</p>
<p>This calendar is important.  Do not neglect it.</p>
<p>You see, by having this visual goal in front of you&#8230; you now have the power of marking off days&#8230; while building momentum and getting your ducks in a row&#8230; without falling through the cracks of neediness and desperation.</p>
<p>If history has taught me anything&#8230; it&#8217;s that people need this time to be able to objectively look at things&#8230; and to create mystique and curiosity in the other party&#8230; <strong>IT IS A MISTAKE TO UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THIS</strong>!</p>
<p>So what do you do during this time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p>We work on ourselves&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; but NOT for that other person&#8230; for US.</p>
<p>You see, for one thing, people that you&#8217;ve have been in a relationship with have a certain &#8220;pattern&#8221; that they&#8217;re used to when it comes to you.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s a pattern of being overweight&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; bad hair&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; no ambition&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; you get the picture</p>
<p>We have to break that pattern.</p>
<blockquote><p>
We have a pattern. See this personâ€¦bad feelings well up. There may be some good too. Overall though the balance has tipped to the negative. What we need to do is BREAK THE PATTERN. </p>
<p>There are literally dozens of ways to look, smell and even sound different. So that when we contact and meet our ex again he/she does not run the same pattern and â€œbad linked feelingsâ€ as when the relationship failed.</p></blockquote>
<p>Read that quote again.</p>
<p>Done, okay.</p>
<p>Seriously, the confidence and self worth that arise from bettering yourself keeps you from getting the raw end of the deal when it comes to interacting with your ex later.</p>
<p>So work on yourself.</p>
<p>Oh&#8230; and on another note&#8230; STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL as much as possible during this time.  Studies show that if you try to drink your problems away&#8230; you ACTUALLY seed the problems farther into your psyche&#8230; and make it much harder to recover.</p>
<p>Do you need a &#8220;life check&#8221;?</p>
<p>Think about this for a second&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>This is the truth: You will not die without your ex. If he was your whole life, then you need to improve your life first. You can find plenty of perfectly good people if you put yourself out there.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m actually getting these quotes from &#8220;<a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/magic">The Magic Of Making Up</a>&#8220;&#8230; but I would have told you the exact same thing.</p>
<p>You need to have your own life&#8230;</p>
<p>Making someone else the king/queen&#8230; your everything in life is not healthy&#8230; plus&#8230; they start to take you for granted.</p>
<p>Okay, now we&#8217;re in our 30 day &#8220;grace period&#8221; where we refrain from talking to the ex&#8230; but the <strong>FEELINGS</strong> of loneliness and despair keep rearing their ugly heads.</p>
<p>What do we do?</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll there&#8217;s a pretty cool technique that TW goes over in his book called the &#8220;<strong>Fast Forward Technique</strong>&#8220;&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen it used in other situations and teachings and can say it works wonders.</p>
<p>This is a must learn for those that are having a really tough time of it.</p>
<p><i>(Are you marking your days off yet?)</i></p>
<p>I apologize&#8230; I just looked at the clock and I&#8217;ve got to cut this a little short because I&#8217;ve got a teleseminar to do&#8230; but let me tell you about some of the things that WORK when trying to get back your ex (post 30 days)</p>
<p><strong>Curiosity and Intrigue<br />
Time Distortion Techniques<br />
Plausible Deniablity<br />
Sleeping with her as soon as possible (men)<br />
Not sleeping with him (women)<br />
The Instant Reconciliation<br />
Emotionally Elevated Experience Bonding<br />
Instant Reconnect Techniques<br />
The Clean Slate Method for apologizing (VERY POWERFUL)</strong></p>
<p>Actually, let me talk about the &#8220;apology&#8221; for a second&#8230; there&#8217;s an interesting story that you should read:</p>
<blockquote><p>An Eddie Bauer store that wrongly accused a black teenager, Alonzo Jackson, of shoplifting a shirt he had purchased the day before had to pony up $85 million in a lawsuit. </p>
<p>His dad said that an apology would have sufficed. </p>
<p>Eddie Bauer did make a weak public apology. But, they never apologized privately to Alonzo or his father.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sometimes you have to put your ego in check and get vulnerable&#8230;</p>
<p>Other things of use to note:</p>
<p><strong>The Monkey&#8217;s Fist<br />
Mind Judo</strong></p>
<p>I could go on and on and write a book on my experiences with this.  I seriously could.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;ve found one that effectively summarizes what I went through&#8230; and what you&#8217;re likely going through&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; one that provides a roadmap to success in getting back with your ex&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; if it&#8217;s in the cards&#8230; or not&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; it WASN&#8217;T for me&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and I&#8217;m much better because of it.</p>
<p>Will you be?</p>
<p>Or is your ex your soulmate&#8230; but the stars and planets just haven&#8217;t been aligned.</p>
<p>Go pick up <a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/magic">The Magic Of Making Up</a>&#8221; and find out.</p>
<p>No matter the outcome&#8230; if you follow the plan thats provided&#8230; <strong>IF</strong>&#8230; then it&#8217;s money well spent.</p>
<p>And you can take that to the bank.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not what you were expecting on this blog I know.</p>
<p>But I promised the <a href="http://hotalphafemale.blogspot.com">Hot Alpha Female</a> that I&#8217;d answer a few questions for her.</p>
<p>And&#8230; I figured we might be able to get a few other comments from other men as well to help alleviate some of the differences between men and women.</p>
<p>Here was her first question?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>How important are a girls looks to a guy?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>My answer&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>It depends on what you mean by looks.</strong></p>
<p>Guys, in general are a lot like women when it comes to this category.  We care more about the things that you <strong>CAN</strong> control.</p>
<p>Case in point, in this post&#8230; I talk about a little &#8220;survey&#8221; that I put out to a bunch of different guys.</p>
<p>The survey:  &#8220;If you had to choose, would you rather be with a woman that has a hot face but an okay body&#8230; or a woman that has an okay face but a <strong>SMOKIN&#8217;</strong> body&#8221;.</p>
<p>The results:  Almost every single guy chose the woman with the <strong>ROCKIN&#8217;</strong> body&#8230; accept for the lower income, lower education guys.</p>
<p>Notice&#8230; these results <strong>ARE CONSISTENT</strong> with what great women are looking for in a MAN.</p>
<p>Coincidence&#8230; I doubt it.</p>
<p>Your physical genetic &#8220;gifts&#8221; (like how your face looks) is not NEARLY as important as the things you CAN control&#8230; clothes, body fat percentage (in most cases), hair, etc.</p>
<p>Of course, all men are different&#8230; but in general&#8230; men tend to choose &#8220;body&#8221; over &#8220;face&#8221; when given a distinct choice&#8230; especially men of <strong>HIGH WORTH</strong>.</p>
<p>Naturally, there is more to being <strong>SEXY</strong> than just this&#8230; but that wasn&#8217;t the question.</p>
<p>So yes&#8230; it matters&#8230; just not how most people think.</p>
<p>(For you men, I&#8217;ll go over this more when I start talking about &#8220;The Adonis Effect&#8221; early next week)</p>
<p>Comments?  I seem to have just as many female readers as male readers&#8230; that&#8217;s crazy.</p>

<p>I used to love being single during the holiday season.</p>
<p>Think about it&#8230; starting a few days from Thanksgiving&#8230; single women start to feel a little pressure.</p>
<p>(Hell, even women in crappy relationships seem to feel some pressure&#8230; lol)</p>
<p>More parties, family and friends asking the same &#8216;ole questions, you know what I&#8217;m saying.</p>
<p><strong>Single men get the same questions.</strong></p>
<p>Same pressures&#8230;</p>
<p>Instead of thinking about how life sucks during the holiday season if you&#8217;re lonely&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>BUCK UP!</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s feeding time.</p>
<p>Have you ever wondered why single bridesmaids seem to be &#8220;easy pickins&#8221;?</p>
<p>Think about it&#8230; social pressure to conform to the norm&#8230; wanting to be in the same situation as their friend(s)&#8230; making sure that they are still wanted&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing though.  <strong>Think of the holiday season as a MONTH LONG wedding</strong>.</p>
<p>Every day, single people are bombarded with family stuff, friends with kids, newly engaged people that you haven&#8217;t seen in a while&#8230; you know&#8230; constant reminders of <u>why being single sucks</u>.</p>
<p>Desperation begins to kick in a bit.</p>
<p>Career women begin to break down.  Previously &#8220;unattainable&#8221; women lower their boundaries.</p>
<p>&#8216;Tis the season to find someone&#8230; a love&#8230; a fling&#8230; a FB&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; or MULTIPLE someones  <img src='http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Remember, people make decisions based on emotion, then <strong>JUSTIFY</strong> that decision based on logic <strong>AFTERWARD</strong>.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s no more emotional time for most people than the holiday season&#8230; even more than Valentine&#8217;s, I feel.</p>
<p>So, as a man (or woman), that&#8217;s single <strong>RIGHT NOW</strong>&#8230; there&#8217;s no better time to find someone.  Trust me when I say that people are much more receptive to expanding their boundaries at this time of the year.</p>
<p>In other words, your targets have multiplied.</p>
<p>Know that a woman will be more inclined to talk to you during this time of the year.</p>
<p>Know that she&#8217;s probably not going to blow you off.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t sulk this holiday season&#8230; because if you do&#8230; you&#8217;re gonna miss the &#8220;fertile&#8221; season.</p>
<p>Keep that in mind.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pressure.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stress.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I have to figure this out.  I need to learn this stuff.  If not, I&#8217;ll never get a girlfriend.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sound familiar.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be honest&#8230; this is something that I figured out a lot time ago.</p>
<p>And you can take it or leave it&#8230;</p>
<p>I used to go out all the time and talk to women at bars and clubs.  Naturally, I was trying to be slick&#8230; buy a couple of drinks (for the wrong reasons)&#8230; and try to sweet talk my way into someone&#8217;s pants&#8230;</p>
<p>But you know&#8230; it got old.  <strong>REAL OLD.</strong>  Every night there was a &#8220;pressure&#8221; that I put on myself to talk to women.  </p>
<p>If nothing happened, I&#8217;d wonder why.  What did I do wrong?</p>
<p>Should I have said this?</p>
<p>What about that?</p>
<p>Finally, after all of the pressure&#8230; the wondering why&#8230; the &#8220;I have to MAKE myself go talk to her&#8221;&#8230; &#8220;she looked, does she like me&#8230; think I&#8217;m cute&#8221;&#8230; BS&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8230; I just said fuck it.</strong></p>
<p>This sucks.</p>
<p>I decided that from now on&#8230; I was just going to go out and have a good time.  Who cares about all of the pressure?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t working.</p>
<p>Sure&#8230; it nailed me a couple of one night stands&#8230; but afterward&#8230; I could tell that these women were people that I probably didn&#8217;t want to ever see again.</p>
<p>Not that they were ugly by any means&#8230; they just seemed&#8230; <strong>EASY</strong>.</p>
<p>So I switched my roll.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want to be &#8220;that guy&#8221; any more.  You know what I&#8217;m talking about.  The one the women look at and go &#8220;Oh shit, here comes another one of &#8216;those guys&#8217; that want to just get in my pants&#8221;</p>
<p>Thankfully, I was only &#8220;that guy&#8221; for about six months or so.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h2>The Switch</h2>
<p></center></p>
<p>Do you know what my shining moment was?</p>
<p>I remember it clearly.  I was in college at one of the bars at NC State when I saw a group of attractive women sitting at a table next to the bar.  I noticed that they were almost done with their drinks.</p>
<p>One looked at me&#8230; and I just said &#8220;Hey, what are you guys drinking?&#8221;</p>
<p>I forgot what she told me but I looked at the bartender and said&#8230; &#8220;Would you grab four of those for me and throw them on my tab?&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, I just looked at the table of women and said &#8220;It was nice meeting you guys, I hope you have a great night.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>No expectations.  No pressure.  No sleazy lines.</strong></p>
<p>They looked cool so I bought them a round&#8230; just like I would have done if they were guy friends that I hadn&#8217;t seen in a while.</p>
<p>And I walked off and started talking to my friends again.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t try to make eye contact.  Frankly, I didn&#8217;t care.  I know that it made me feel good, thought.  Giving with no thought of anything in return.</p>
<p>Within 10 minutes, two of the girls at that table came up to me and thanked me for the drinks.</p>
<p>I remember smiling&#8230; and replying &#8220;No problem, you guys looked pretty friendly.  I&#8217;d have done the same if it were my friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>We talked for a bit and they went back to the table.</p>
<p><strong>Did anything happen that night?</strong></p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>However, I did see those women out quite a bit and they had a shit ton of friends.</p>
<p>So, from then on out&#8230; I just decided that I&#8217;d meet people just to meet them.  Women, men&#8230; it didn&#8217;t matter.  As long as I was having fun meeting people, I didn&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t out trying to &#8220;score&#8221;.</p>
<p>But the funny thing was that I was &#8220;scoring&#8221; more then than I ever scored in my life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always hated picking up the phone and calling people so it was nice when people were calling ME all of the time to do stuff.  Guys liked having me around because they&#8217;d want to be a part of one of my famous &#8220;stories&#8221;.</p>
<p>Women liked being around because they didn&#8217;t feel like some guy was always trying to get in their pants.</p>
<p>And then, I remember looking around one night and thought to myself:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Look at all of these guys trying to pick up these women.  They&#8217;re trying all of these lines and making funny gestures&#8230; buying drinks&#8230; and trying to win these girls over.  And then you&#8217;ve got me&#8230; I&#8217;m just out having a good time meeting people and these same women are coming to talk TO ME!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I quit trying to get phone numbers.  I quit trying to score.</p>
<p>Think about that.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m no damn guru by any means&#8230; so don&#8217;t even think that.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the deal&#8230; this is what I figured out a long time ago and its funny because I heard <a href="http://www.absolutepowerdating.com">Brent Smith</a> say it on this latest installment of <a href="http://www.pickuppodcast.com">Pickup Podcast</a>&#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s really hard to be rejected if you&#8217;re not doing anything to get you rejected&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>In other words, how can you be rejected if you&#8217;re just out meeting people and having a good time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve wrote in the past about my friend Bryan.  He&#8217;s probably one of the most gifted conversationalists I&#8217;ve ever met and I&#8217;m telling you that I&#8217;ve never seen him get turned away by a group of women, no matter how great looking they are.</p>
<p>His secret:</p>
<p>He just goes up and is social.  No tricks.  No gimmicks.  No hidden agenda.  No &#8220;game&#8221;.</p>
<p>He just talks and has a good time.</p>
<p>Before he was married&#8230; he&#8217;d meet people everywhere:  the gas station, grocery store, mall&#8230;</p>
<p>No shutdowns&#8230; ever.</p>
<p>I know you might find this hard to believe but when you go into ANY interaction with no real motives&#8230; you&#8217;ll be extremely surprised at the result.</p>
<p>Is it counterintuitive?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Just wait&#8230; you&#8217;ll see  <img src='http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Confessions &#8212; Take One</strong></p>
<p>(Oh, and remind me to tell you how my foot ended up in my mouth with a mistake with one of the cardinal rules of rapport)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve wanted to do this little &#8220;column&#8221; for a while now&#8230; and the perfect opportunity came my way during an initial conversation with a woman about her friend.  Apparently, the friend was having a problem attracting and dating &#8220;the wrong men&#8221;.</p>
<p>And, after a bit of a conversation, we discussed how I could possibly help out&#8230; like I&#8217;ve helped out countless others in my day.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I set up a small &#8220;interview&#8221; session so that I could really find out how these women ticked.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s cut to the chase&#8230; do you know what these two women REALLY wanted out of a man?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t money&#8230; </p>
<p><strong>No it was PASSION.</strong></p>
<p>A passion for life&#8230; a passion for what they do&#8230; a true reason to live.</p>
<p>They had both dated men that had no life&#8230; no future&#8230; no passion&#8230; no accountability.</p>
<p>And they both hated it.</p>
<p>Remember, these women are <strong>EXTREMELY</strong> good looking.</p>
<p>Do you know what else <strong>NEVER</strong> came up?<br />
<strong><br />
LOOKS!</strong></p>
<p>Sure, clothes and style came up&#8230; but that was secondary to PASSION.  But how a guy physically LOOKED never was even mentioned&#8230; not once.</p>
<p>No&#8230; has to be 6 foot tall&#8230; no&#8230; has to have big muscles or an athletic build.</p>
<p>Not a single one of these characteristics came across the table&#8230; and believe me&#8230; I baited them to talk about it.</p>
<p>I have a sneaky feeling that I am going to run into this same scenario time and time again.  Women like men that have direction in their life.  You don&#8217;t necessarily <strong>HAVE TO BE THERE YET</strong>&#8230; but you do have to be on the way.  Have some passion about you&#8230; have a real <strong>GOAL</strong> and reason to live&#8230; and people will gravitate towards you.</p>
<p>Oh, and the blunder of blunders from me&#8230;</p>
<p>My one friend, S, that I had met before threw me off guard by asking me how I would help her friend (M)&#8230; completely out of the blue.  Hell, I thought that we were going to casually bring it up in the conversation and be nonchalant about it&#8230; like it was a &#8220;secret&#8221;.</p>
<p>Couple that with the lightheaded feeling that I had had the last few days due to lack of sleep (I told you I&#8217;ve got some good stuff coming) and I was bound to put my foot in my mouth&#8230;</p>
<p>And I did  <img src='http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I replied back to S, &#8220;Well, she&#8217;s not exactly heinous&#8230; so I&#8217;m sure I can&#8221;&#8230; which, what I meant in my fuzzy minded state was that I found her attractive, and that it wouldn&#8217;t be a problem.</p>
<p>But the friend, M, thought that I was saying that SHE WAS UGLY, ha, ha.</p>
<p>And I had no idea&#8230; I didn&#8217;t even pick up on it.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just say that there was a weirdness throughout the rest of the night that I just couldn&#8217;t figure out&#8230; couldn&#8217;t explain.  Afterward, when I found out what it was&#8230; I knew that I had broken a cardinal rule of rapport&#8230;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t engage in certain comments and jokes (looks based) until you&#8217;ve created enough rapport with someone that she knows that you&#8217;re only playing around&#8230; and are making lighthearted banter.</p>
<p>Naturally, there will be those that say that she had no sense of humor&#8230; and that I shouldn&#8217;t worry about it&#8230; and they&#8217;d be wrong.  You see, your role as a great conversationalist is to be able to find the things to talk about that carry the conversation further.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just say I was hearing crickets after my comment&#8230; LOL.</p>
<p>(Oh, and by the way, they both did have great senses of humor&#8230; as I could probably go over a few of the finer laughing points&#8230; but I won&#8217;t)</p>
<p>Live and learn, my friends.  Live and learn.</p>
<p>Again, comments and emails (angeleyes(at)angeleyesdevilsmile.com) are always welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend David Wygant has a post in which a <a href="http://davidwygant.com/blog/?p=89">sexy blonde tells you</a> exactly what turns her on&#8230;</p>
<p>Cool idea&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a bunch of women that I&#8217;ve been talking to over the past couple of months that I KNOW would enjoy telling you EXACTLY how to get in their pants.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m gonna call it &#8220;<a href="http://www.angeleyesdevilsmile.com/blog/category/confessions/">Confessions</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>So, probably once a week, I&#8217;ll post a &#8220;Confession&#8221;, so you can hear it through their own mouths.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s a twist:</p>
<p>Instead of just letting them ramble on about what they <strong>THINK</strong> they want&#8230; I&#8217;m gonna grill them and find out what they <strong>REALLY</strong> want.</p>
<p>Devious, huh?</p>
<p>Pay attention, this should be fun.</p>
