Romance Tips for Marriage Delights

Filed under: Relationships — Annette Carpien @ 6:55 pm

Has your relationship gotten a bit stale or lifeless? Wish you could ?juice? it up more? If you are not getting enough affection, quality time, connection or romance, perhaps you are not giving enough, waiting for your partner to initiate. Be proactive.

1. CARVE OUT LOVE & CONNECTION TIME.

Take 2 minutes (or more) at least once each day to stop everything else, and focus on your love, admiration, appreciation of each other, even if, for now, it is one-sided. A good time might be when your partner just comes home. This is not the time to talk about the toilet backing up or overdue bills or your frustrations at work. Don?t mix problems in with connection time. Think of this as sacred time. If you have children, train them that this is mommy and daddy together time, then will come their time. What could be a better model for your children to observe than their parents loving each other.

2. TOUCH OFTEN, TOUCH SWEETLY.

A kiss behind the neck, a stroke on the thigh. Offer a massage as a birthday gift. Sometimes sensual and inviting, sometimes reaffirming of your love and commitment.

3. HAVE SEX MORE OFTEN. Even if you are not particularly attracted to your spouse any longer, or are too tired, make time for sex. Rather than deciding if you are in the mood or not, act as if you are in the mood, and you will likely find that you get in the mood quickly!

Sex is good for bonding, for your health and for your mental state. Don?t play the victim; ask for what DO you want and do whatever you can to make it delicious and enjoyable.

Though this sounds stereotypical, there is truth in it: Women who are pissed off and frustrated because their spouses don?t help around the house find that with more sex, their husbands become much more involved in home life, willingly. So focus on sex, and the housework and childcare may get more attention after all.

4. CULTIVATE YOUR PRIVATE JOKES, STORIES, YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAYS OF TOUCHING AND CONNECTING.

These are all highly bonding to a sense of ‘us’ in own world, distinct from everyone else.

5. LEARN EACH OTHER?S LOVE LANGUAGE.

Do you feel loved and cared for in different ways than your partner does? Ask yourself, ?how and when do I feel most loved?? Then either observe or ask your partner the same question. Give your partner the love he/she wants in the way he/she wants it. Ask for it in your way. We all know ‘the Golden Rule’ - ‘Treat others as you want to be treated’. This is ‘The Platinum Rule’: ‘Love another the way he or she wants to be loved’.

6. FIRE THE MIND READER.

Don?t assume your partner understands your every need and wish. Request, and tell what you want or need, especially when your wishes or needs change. Likewise, don?t assume you understand your partner?s feelings, needs, wants. Be curious, and ask.

We each have the power to positively influence an outcome that we want to achieve. We have inherent, God-given tools such as the power to envision, the power of intentionality, inspiration, assertiveness, the power to discover win-win solutions, to be loving, to ask for what we want, to see the best in another.

We also have many external resources available to help us give and get the love and romance we want. Ask someone you know who has the kind of marriage or relationship you want, for insights and inspiration. Or work with a coach, who specializes in relationships, love and/or romance to help you have the love, romance, and great sex you long for.

Inexpensive, Fabulous Dates

Filed under: Dating, Relationships — Tonja Weimer @ 9:30 am

Would you like to know how to have fabulous, inexpensive dates? If you are single and living on a budget, your greatest asset is your imagination. You can turn a simple low-cost evening into an adventure that someone will never forget.

Here are some memorable dates that won’t break the bank and will leave your dates impressed with your creativity:

*Real estate open houses

Looking at houses for sale is a fabulous inexpensive date. Every Sunday, the local newspapers list the open houses that are available for viewing. Go over the listings with your date and decide which ones you want to see. Your choices may be affected by distance, price range, or style of house. Since it’s all free, make the most of the day and see what you want. Plan your route and time table. Enhance the day by taking notes on what you liked and what you didn’t. Followup with coffee and a discussion of the days observations. Note to realtors: I have had many clients who wound up buying a house this way.

*Local wildlife

Great inexpensive dates, when you are single and living on a budget, are nature activities. What is your area of the country known for? What time of year is it available for visiting or seeing? Call your local wildlife society and find out when the miracles of the wild are at their peak. Do you have swamp, flowers, cacti, butterflies, marshes, aquatic birds, canaries, deer, bears, woodpeckers, eagles, flowering trees, snow peaks, whales, rainbows, or wild strawberries? There is something in your local world that is unique to the region and you can plan a free date around it.

*Local dairy farms

Visiting a dairy farm is a fabulous inexpensive date. For those of you raised on a farm, you are probably wondering what the big deal is here. But for those of you out there who have never seen a cow milked, you are in for a fascinating day. Dairy farms today are often modern marvels of efficiency. The larger the farm, the greater the technology. This date is as educational as it is truly fun. Look in the phone book, call ahead to find a friendly farm, and plan a great date.

*Furniture showrooms

Looking at furniture showrooms is free as well as not tied to a time frame. You can go any time of day. Visit your favorite department store with your date, browse through the showroom settings, discuss what decor you like best, and enjoy a stroll through the park or a cup of hot chocolate afterwards as you continue your conversation.

Inexpensive dates can be the most fabulous dates you will ever have. They save you money, they challenge you to use your ingenuity, and they definitely open up new avenues for communication and thought as you get to know the person you are with better. Have fun!

Doggy Style- How to Get Women By Training Your Dog!

Filed under: Relationships — James B @ 3:40 am

When you need someone to help you attract a girl, go to your friend…man’s best friend, that is!

Yup, dogs are great ‘assets’ towards picking up woman. Attraction isn’t a choice–but if you understand how having a dog is something that women are naturally attracted to, you can use a dog to your advantage!

First, a warning: DON’T get a dog just for picking up women! As a dog-lover myself, it’s important that I tell you to only get a dog if you’re going to fully train it and give it the time and attention it needs. I actually just found out about a great site for dog training. It’ll help you decide if you have the time and energy for a dog, and if so, what to do to train it properly. As I mention below, a well-trained dog is an attraction-building dog!

Benefits of Showing Off a Well-Trained Dog:

* If your dog is well trained, it shows you’re in control and have power over animals–which will make it seem like you have control over women, too.

* Having a dog makes you look more affectionate. Give your dog lots of cuddles and praise in front of girls–they love this.

* It shows connections. As women are all about friendship building and connection making, having a bond with a dog shows you know how to build a bond like nothing else.

What dogs are best? Definitely the beautiful, lovable, fairly big dogs, like golden retrievers, German Shepherds, and labradors. You especially can’t go wrong with a lovable, playful Golden Retriever. Small toy dogs, like Pomeranians and chihuahuas, may be cute, but they don’t exactly make you look manly. Conversely, big, aggressive dogs, like Dobermans, may make good protectors, but if you have any fear that they could be aggressive towards woman, don’t trot them out for play in front of a girl–a loud, aggressive dog can easily backfire on you!

How to use your dog for your attraction skills:

* Play with your dog. Have fun with him. Show the girl you’re having a good time: when a girl sees the dog is having fun with you, she correspondingly feels like she could have fun with you. You come across an energetic, fun person.

On top of that, by getting physical and into it with your dog, you show you like to exercise and are not a lazy, sit-around-home kind of guy. Just by appearing outside at the park, you come across as sociable and fit.

* When playing with your dog, make sure you teach him some tricks, and do those tricks in front of the woman. This is great for filling the second rule of The Tao of Steve: Have a talent it and present it to the woman. If a woman sees that you can train a dog and make him obey you, she’ll wonder what it’s like for HER to obey you…a very scintillating prospect!

* Without making it obvious, get the dog to go to your girl. You can do this by throwing a ball near her (a bit obvious), or running around with the dog near the girl, and doing something funny like making the dog jump a lot. Girls love to see an excited dog playing with his master. If you’re really bold–and your dog is trained to do it–you can have your dog do something cheesy like bring a flower to the girl. Do this by training your dog the Fetch and Leave commands.

It’s no wonder dogs are so great for attracting beautiful girls: What woman doesn’t love a cute furball who’s full of fun and excitement? Actually, we could learn a few things from dogs:

* Girls love someone who’s bursting with energy

* It pays to know a few ‘tricks’

* Don’t be afraid to showboat a little!

* Girls love to be licked

* Come only when commanded!

Great teachers, great attraction getters: dogs truly are a man’s best friend!

How to Kiss Girls, From The Approach to the Bedroom

Filed under: Dating, Relationships — James B @ 7:15 pm

Kissing girls: It’s meant to be fun. If you’re nervous about kissing women, or see it as only a gateway towards sex, you’re missing out. In fact, the more you take your time with kissing and truly enjoy it, the more chances you have of enjoying physical intimacy with a girl. So let me show you how to kiss girls–and enjoy it!

If you’ve never kissed before, the best thing you can possibly do is RELAX. It isn’t a big deal if you muck up your first kiss! Girls are very understanding, and you can actually laugh about it. I know so many couples who joke about their first kiss. The first kiss most people have is an awkward one, so girls will forgive you if it’s not perfect!

Next, learn proper kissing technique. That means knowing how to move in for the kiss, controlling your tempo, kissing for affection, and kissing for intimacy. There are lots of websites out there, but I like this site the best for kissing girls the RIGHT ways. You’ll get pictures and everything about what’s right and what’s wrong.

I’m going to cover two particular areas of kissing in this column: kissing for affection, and kissing for intimacy. First let’s talk about kissing for intimacy. Say you’re on a date and want to move things to the next level. The best way to do it is to talk about how you’d like to kiss her. As one guru, Craig, says, ‘Talking about sex is the first step towards having it.’ Likewise, talking about kissing is the first step towards actual kissing. It will relax both of you and, if said in a relaxed, confident, NOT desperate tone, can really excite a girl. Once you do get to kissing, kiss with passion: don’t half-job it! Use your arms, your body: press into her, touch her face with your hands, stroke her hair. All these things show you’re serious about intimacy and want her in the worst way.

If she pulls in, you’re doing great. Pulls back, just slow it down. Just because she doesn’t do it with the same passion as you doesn’t mean she wants it. A lot of times girls want to take things slower than guys. That’s fine: match her tempo. Kiss her on the neck, the cheeks, all over. Eventually that will warm her up. When she starts to get into it (moaning, moving closer to you, grabbing you back), you can start kissing her in her erogenous zones all over the body. Remember, kissing isn’t just on the lips! If you really want to get intimate, kiss her below the neck–on her thighs, on her hips (very sensitive area!) and even on her feet. Not to mention the obvious areas. :) This should guarantee you a great night.

But kissing doesn’t end with sex! Too many guys make that mistake. Sex is only the BEGINNING of the kissing stage! As you’re performing, remember to kiss her all over her body, particularly on the neck and breasts. Show that you’re not interested just in a quick act–you want to be passionate and intimate, as well. Kissing achieves this purpose, and will make the girl eager to do it again!

For affection, kissing is the best. As I say in my e-book and audio articles, women LOVE surprises, so nothing shows you love your girlfriend (or wife) like a surprise, spontaneous kiss out of nowhere! She’ll love it, and thank you for it. She’ll also reward you for it, by staying with you and treating you great. Happy wife, happy life! The same goes with girlfriends. Don’t be surprised if she starts bringing you breakfast in bed, buying you presents, acting a lot nicer, when you give her lots of kisses out of nowhere, just to remind her that you love her. This works!

Remember, kissing is meant to be FUN. Once you see the fun and enjoyable side of kissing, you’ll surely want more and more. As an old Chinese proverb goes, ‘Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer: you can never get enough.’

How To Seduce Women - Top 10 Secrets for Wild Success

Filed under: Dating, Relationships — James B @ 10:00 am

It’s one thing to know how to attract a woman. Any guy can get dressed up, style his hair nicely, and make a woman notice him. But how do you take the next step–SEDUCING a woman? What are the best ways for making her KEEP her eyes on you, for making her think of you night and day…for developing an inner, GUT desire for you in bed?

Camille Paglia said that ‘Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It’s part of the sizzle.? Indeed, it’s not enough to look good. Showing your interests, flirting shamelessly, using body language: these are all ingredients that make the thrill of the hunt so fun and seductive.’

So true–you have to make it a game of hunter and hunted, and YOU are the hunted. I explain this in detail below. So let’s look at what a lot of guys do incorrectly in trying to get a woman to bed, and how to correct them with the ways to seduce women:

First mistake: They talk down on themselves

Never, ever talk negatively of yourself. Girls see that as a sign of weakness, and a sign that you can’t protect and provide for her. Even if you screw up and drop your drink, do NOT act dismayed and pissed off at yourself for being such a clutz. This only drives the women as far away as possible from you. EVEN if you are a great-looking guy. Confidence and assuredness matter MUCH more than looks to women–yes, even the hot ones!

Instead, have fun with yourself. Stay cool; act as if you meant to do that. For example, if you trip while walking her somewhere, say, ‘I meant to do that,’ NOT ‘Oh, I’m such a friggin’ clutz!’ Show confidence and belief in yourself. Make her believe that your life goes on without her; you’ve got so much going on, you’re such a catch, that you can deal with rejection. Once women realize that you’re not insecure and needy, they’ll be happy to give you a chance.

Also remember to be CHOOSY. Nothing shows confidence like asking a girl questions about her OWN career. Instead of being intimidated by her questions about what you do and what you like, intimidate her with your own questions! Show her she can’t intimidate you–YOU are the selector, not her! You don’t ‘get a chance’ with her–she gets a chance, with YOU!

The thing is, women WANT to earn your respect. They WANT to be challenged, to feel like they earned a man’s respect, not got it handed to them on a plate. Challenge a woman, tease her and play hard to get, and you’ll seduce her in no time.

Another great way to seduce women is to play games and break her balls. Tease her mercilessly and put her down in front of her friends. This shows both confidence in yourself, and humor. Both of which turn women on greatly. They don’t want a guy they can run all over; they want a guy who will PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE!

This only serves to stir up chemicals in her brain, such as PEA, that make her attracted to you. Talking about seducing women!

On the other hand, don’t make the next mistake, which too many guys unfortunately do…

2. They talk TOO highly of themselves

While it’s great to show belief in yourself, it’s not a good idea to come across as an arrogant jerk. If anything, talking really highly of yourself shows insecurity and selfishness…not ideal characteristics to portray when trying to get a woman in bed.

Get to know the girl…tell her what you like about her. Then start talking sexually: Talk in innuendos, and sneak in comments about how good you are in bed. If she seems nervous or reluctant to kiss, tease her. Tell her, ‘I bet you’re a horrible kisser.’ She’ll want to prove otherwise…so let her!

Golden rule: The first step towards having sex, is TALKING ABOUT IT. This forces a girl to consider the idea…and once the idea of sex is in her head, it won’t go away anytime soon! Just don’t over-do, and make sure you give her direct eye contact and a knowing, grinning smile as you bring up the idea of a passionate, intimate night…

3. They have bad breath

You can have everything else going right: you’re making her laugh, she’s into you, you’re flirting just right. But if you’ve got bad breath, how can you expect her to want to even kiss you, let alone go home with you? Guys, make sure you have some Binaca, gum, or breath mints handy at all times.

4. They’re not dressed well

This is a simple one. If you look like you just woke out of bed, no girl’s gonna be attracted to you. Let alone seduced. You don’t have to dress like a model, but you sure as hell should watch what you wear and how you present yourself.

What colors work best? In my course I go through all the best colors for catching women’s attention and turning them on, but generally, you can’t go wrong with jeans and a white shirt, black pants and a burgundy shirt, or all black if you want to give an essence of cool and rebellious.

Just make sure you’re well-groomed! The best clothes in the world won’t make up for bad hygiene and messy hair–facial or otherwise.

5. Bad posture/Body Language

Yeah, a little thing like bad posture can go a big way towards stopping your seduction goals. It’s really important to sit up straight and have your shoulders back. You want to convey confidence and control as much as you can. Leaning over and not looking a girl in the eye will sabotage your efforts.

For more information on reading female body language and giving off the right body language gestures of your own, make sure you check out my How to Be Irresistible to Women audio course My audio lessons and workbook show you what works, what doesn’t, and how to position yourself for amazing seduction success!

6. Bad BO

Bad body odor is definitely a no-no. Guys, wear deodorant!

And don’t overdo on the cologne; it’s not a substitute for a fresh shower and anti-perspirant, and sometimes, less is more.

7. They get really, really drunk

Yeah, we’ve all had one of these nights. You drink a little too much (or a LOT too much), act like a creep, get really aggressive, stink of alcohol. All of it combines to drive the girl away. That’s not seducing her to bed; it’s inducing her to leave!

Instead, show that you don’t need alcohol to get a woman to bed. The thing is, really, only YOU can attract women. Alcohol can’t make you someone you’re not. It all begins with a commitment to developing your foundation: your inner game, your self-belief, your ability to embrace the moment.

One book I highly recommend for getting your foundation right, for developing unstoppable self-belief, is Dr. Alex Benzer’s The Tao of Dating. It’s an amazing, mesmerizing read that will help you in all areas of life. Check out the website–it’ll do wonders for your game, and you’ll find you won’t need alcohol anymore to feel sexy!

8. They try too hard

Nothing makes a woman want to get bed with you less, than you pushing her to do more. Guys who plead with women to come to bed, grab onto them without their consent, and say really obvious things like, ‘C’mon, come to my place, it’ll be fun,’ are destined to a night alone. Girls don’t want to seem easy; they want to feel like a man earned her body. Thinking a woman will go home with you when you haven’t earned it is a quick way to end your night alone.

On the flip side, if you DO

9. They don’t listen

Sometimes listening is all you need to do to get a woman excited. Give a girl your ear, and she’ll give you her heart. Don’t underestimate this understanding her and giving her a chance to be heard! Women are all about building bonds, building CONNECTIONS, so listening her to goes a long way towards making yourself more attractive.

In my How to Be Irresistible to Women multimedia course, I teach you some great ways to use listening as a seduction tool. I teach you about the importance of listening and communication to women, and how practicing these things can make you a VERY attractive man.

Unfortunately, too many guys only want to talk about themselves. That’s a bad mistake. Make sure you don’t do it yourself.

10. They don’t have any confidence

This is the biggest problem. Even when a girl is interested in them, so many guys don’t know how to proceed. They think too much about what to do, instead of just relaxing and seeing what happens.

Guys, LIVE IN THE MOMENT. Enjoy what happens–not just talking to the girl, but the whole fun of the atmosphere. Take your mind off the idea of sex, and just relax. That’s when seduction happens…when you’re not looking for it. CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS, BEFORE THEY CONTROL YOU!

When women see you’re calm, cool, collected and fun–THAT’S when they’re turned on most!

The United Couples of India

Filed under: Relationships, Wedding — Anish T. Sapra @ 4:20 am

Think of an impending inter caste marriage, and the first thing that comes to mind is a sobbing mother, an angry father and one rebellious offspring. Inter caste marriages in India have long been a reason for familial, and sometimes communal, discord. Seemingly innocuous love affairs have turned into law and order nightmares. All this while, today?s young generation thinks what this religious fuss is all about? The human genome may have been cracked, but understanding an average Indian parents? DNA still seems elusive. But things are changing for the better. Archaic mindsets are changing; parents are no longer very hostile to an inter caste arrangement. And Dr. Manmohan Singh made this happen. Surprised? Read on.

Love is like water, it finds its own way. Today, we see more intercommunity marriages taking place than at any other time. When Dr. Manmohan Singh opened up the floodgates of our economy in 1991, little must he have realized that his move will also help a thousand flowers bloom in the garden of love? When the Indian markets opened up, new jobs started coming into India. And this led to a large-scale migration of people within the country. You would find a Haryanvi & an Iyenagar, a Bengali & a Marathi manoos sharing cubicles and hobnobbing at office water fountains. And it included people of the opposite sexes, too. Young hearts and fertile minds, which could survive on love and fresh air, threw issues like religion and caste in the recycle bin. All they were looking for was compatibility and unconditional love.

The new companies that came into India were MNCs, and they brought their professional work culture along with them. That meant reward for good work, irrespective of the gender, and longer working hours. This spelt more opportunities for Indian women and extended time in the office and more interaction with co-workers of the opposite sex. Also, in a new city, an individual is all on his own and very lonely. A few loving words, and a warm shoulder, work like magic and bring strangers closer. Besides, in an unknown city, one tends to grow more adventurous, as the fear of being caught is left back in the old town. Offices became breeding grounds of romance.

Those who could not find love at their workplace resorted to the web. Lunchtimes in the office were spent surfing matrimonial websites. These sites replaced the friendly neighbourhood aunty who would arrive at the doorstep every alternate day with a new proposal. Instead of doing the rounds of marriage bureaus due to paucity of time, people could look for possible matches at the click of the mouse. More than the usual search criteria of religion, these websites offered criteria such as Education & Career, Lifestyle, and Location for searching for a life partner. Moreover they enabled a search of potential partners from across the globe. So an Indian in Gurgaon could find a life partner from the US or UK and vice versa. For a nominal charge, the websites provided a platform for people and enabled them to meet people belonging to the same mindsets, rather than religions.

Today, Indian Matrimonial websites, like Shaadi.com, have gone a step further and are offering a range of wedding services under one roof. The flowers, the venue, the catering? you name it and they will arrange it, not just in India but even abroad. For the young upwardly mobile generation of Indians with long working hours and globe trotting careers, this has proved to be a real boon. Thanks to the huge choice from across the world and ease of use, not only are the young flocking to these websites but also the older generation and specials cases such as physically challenged people. These websites are coming into their own, and becoming a very strong part of the marriage market in India. By bringing people closer, they are facilitating an exchange of new ideas, thus playing an important role in our society.

Today?s generation is headstrong and, yet, very thoughtful. It doesn?t hurry into taking decisions, but when it makes one, it sticks by it. Economic independence has led to a new boldness among youngsters who are determined to make their own paths and follow their heart and head. Their offspring is the product of people following different religions, and the ?mixed breed? grows up in homes where it is exposed to two different ways of life. It has allowed the young minds to imbibe the tenets of different religions, they worship different Gods and Goddesses, they pray with raised and closed palms at the same time. Young minds are like wet cement, they take the desired shape quickly, and it stays that way for the rest of their lives. These children mature quickly, and are more accommodative and understanding when it comes to the issues of caste and religion.

Even today, in India, in educated middle and upper middle class families, a large percentage of marriages are arranged, and mostly done within a caste or community.. The number of intercaste marriages though less, is growing at a fast pace. The 40?s & 50?s generation is realizing this, and is acquiescing to the wishes of its children, and is happily marrying off their sons and daughters into communities other than their own. The growing trend of intercommunity marriages is likely to have a significant and positive bearing on the social fabric of our society. People coming from such mixed family backgrounds are less likely to create communal disturbances and, in fact, act as shock absorbers in sensitive situations.

India is a land of peace and tolerance. Buddha and Gandhi have walked this land. Followers of different religions, who faced persecution in foreign countries, made India their home, further enriching our society with their new thinking, ideals and culture. The practice of inter caste marriages has a similar effect on the society. This will lead to a more tolerant and accommodative India, an India that is colorful, peaceful and a kaleidoscope of happy faces.

Seduction Science - The Three Laws of Attraction Every Guy Has To Know

Filed under: Relationships — James B @ 2:30 am

‘Attraction is not a choice.’
-David DeAngelo

Interesting quote, but what does this mean to us guys? In short, women are conditioned to be attracted to certain signals, traits, and physical characteristics. It is not that they CHOOSE to be attracted to bad boys, or athletes, or wealthy businessmen. Rather, evolution has conditioned them to be attracted to these types of men, because they execute the right actions and behaviors that send off attraction signals in women’s brains. Talk about having chemistry between people!

The good news is, You don’t HAVE to be wealthy, athletic, or a bad boy to successfully attract women. You just have to ACT like them. You just have to know what behaviors, attitudes, and actions they have that WORK in impressing and seducing women.

There are 10 laws of attraction every man must know, but as I only have a limited space, I’m only going to detail the first three here. For the remaining seven, check out my ‘How to Be Irresistible to Women’ course. Find the details at the bottom of this article.

Now, onto the 3 laws of attraction!

First Law of Attraction: Demonstrate High Social Status

There are lots of great ways to do this, including peacocking, which is a popular term for dressing up in outrageous outfits and hair styles; being energetic; and using your popularity–the principle of social proof. When women see you socializing with bartenders, managers, and club/bar owners, this proves that you are popular–and desirable.

Second Rule of Attraction: Make Impressions

A great way to attract a woman is to make a memorable impressions. It doesn’t matter how good you look, how tall you are, how wealthy you are–all you have to do is leave a good memory of who you are. Make a woman remember you. You can do this in a number of ways, including:

Asking how she is–with confidence.

A simple, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ in a relaxed tone goes a long way towards making a girl remember you. This is especially effective with retail clerks and waitresses. Don’t act too interested in what she has to say–just say it in a slow, cool, DEEP tone of voice that sends their emotional chemicals buzzing!

Teasing her.

Show your confidence in yourself by joking about a girl’s hair or occupation. You can say, ‘Wow, you put a lot of effort into that hairstyle, huh?’ or if she says she’s a model or dancer, say, ‘Huh, just a model, eh? Well, that’s nice.’ Acting unimpressed, ironically, will make her impressed. Girls are used to having guys fawn over them, so to do the opposite of what she expects will go a long way, to your advantage.

Joke about other guys.

This is a great technique where you can use other guys’ pickup failures to your advantage. If a guy says something really cheesy or stupid, just say to her, ‘Man, you must get that all the time.’ Or just go up to her and say, ‘See that guy over there? He’s got the WORST BO in the world!’

Third Rule of Attraction: Be Funny in An Attractive, Cocky Way

As you can tell from the methods above, humor is great way of attracting women. Women just seem to love laughing, and when you think about it, you can’t blame them: Who wants to be with a boring guy? Especially if they’re thinking of settling down with a guy in a relationship, they want a guy who can keep things interesting, humorous, and not too serious. Humor does just that. Some great ways to make a girl laugh include:

Self-Deprecation

This is where karaoke is great–you can poke fun at yourself and be a clown. It shows you’re comfortable with yourself, fun, and not too serious.

Wit

As long as you don’t use it against her too much, wit can be a great thing. It shows intelligence and humor.

Observational Humor

Observing funny things like a clumsy waiter or a guy whose face looks like his dog’s is a great way of making a girl laugh.

Exaggeration

Telling a great story and showcasing how ridiculous something was, is a surefire way to leave an impression. Having a lot of anecdotes ready to tell a girl is a great way of making an impression, and attracting her.

Cocky comedy,
This amazing technique, as popularized by David DeAngelo, is an incredible way of both demonstrating high social status, and of making her laugh. Generally, you want to break her balls and BREAK HER STATE. Take her out of her element, tease her in front of her group. Show that you don’t need her, and especially that you don’t need her for self-validation. Very powerful stuff.

There are all kinds of additional ways to attract women, and truthfully, not enough can be written on the subject. But this should give you a start to your understanding of what women want.

Negs, AMOGing, IOIs, ATCs- The Wonderful World of Mystery

Filed under: Dating, Relationships — James B @ 7:30 pm

One of the most common feelings we men often experience as we learn how to attract women is the frustrating, Why didn’t I learn this stuff sooner?

It’s annoying to think that if you had only known the approach and seduction strategies that work a little bit earlier in your life, you may not have gone through years of heartache and frustration.

There’s one guy I wish I knew about when I was single and struggling with women. His program is one that men flock to, that the seduction community listens to, and that women submit to. It’s the Mystery Method, and its popularity shows just why Erik von Markovic, aka ‘Mystery’, is considered ‘The World’s Greatest Pickup Artist.’

Just why Mystery’s program is so popular is no surprise. In my interview with Mechanic, you hear one student rave like so many others: that his course is like nothing they’ve ever seen before, and the success they’ve achieved through it, is like nothing they’ve ever experienced before. The Mystery Method Training Programs, showcased around the world every week in cities such as Sydney, New York, London and Toronto, see new students flock to the ‘Master’ every day. Many of them actually become experts themselves and lead the boot camps themselves.

Just what does Mystery offer that makes him so popular? His Venusian Arts Handbook, which details all his findings from years in the ‘field’, gives you a plethora of advice. Not just techniques, not just fancy terms. A complete, painstakingly crafted BATTLE PLAN of just what you need to do in order to attract the opposite sex: building a life purpose, how to approach, how to integrate with groups, how to converse, how to appear not too interested, how to come off as interesting, how to get from bar-room to bedroom in just 7 hours. The terms and strategies Mystery details are not some blithering hocus-pocus: they’re actually based on evolutionary science and are even endorsed by a well-known British zoologist!

Most of the tactics you’ll learn are facts about women that you never dreamed of: how ‘punishing’ a woman and later rewarding her goes a long way towards building attraction, how women react to different openers, how groups of girls actually work in your favor towards getting the girl you want, and how last-minute resistance (LMR to be fancy) can be overturned with a well-placed application of cat string theory. It all sounds like schmancy stuff…until you see that it all works! Mystery doesn’t clown around; if anything, his training programs and Handbook are brutally honest and a wake-up call to every man who resists the facts about female attraction.

I admit that when I first heard about Mystery in Neil Strauss’ The Game, I didn’t particularly like him. I thought he was just a fancy illusionist turned pickup artist, who got women because he knew magic tricks. But as you read more of The Game and witness Mystery’s techniques in action, you realize: there’s so much more to his Method than that. And it’s fascinating, to boot. I mean, how many guys out there actually knew that you should always approach girls with a well-defined time bridge, or how giving girls ‘Congruence Tests’ will lead them into the palm of your hand? I didn’t. When I was single and in search of a girl, I didn’t know that every man must DHV (Demonstrate Higher Value), or ‘neg’ a girl to freeze her out. I’m still fascinated as I learn about Bait-Hook-Reel-Release Strategy, and the Four M3 Sequencing Mistakes that I made so many times as a college student.

Which all leads me to revisiting my original thought: I wish I’d known all of this stuff sooner!

Father Of The Bride Speech Part 1

Filed under: Relationships, Wedding — Carol Howard @ 7:20 am

Traditionally, the father of the bride speech is the first speech that takes place at a wedding. Why? Because traditionally, it?s the brides parents who are paying for the wedding! But nowadays, this isn?t always the case.

But it?s still considered polite for the father of the bride to make the first speech at a wedding.

So if you?re going to be giving a father of the bride speech, here?s how it works:

First, the Master of Ceremonies (MC for short) will ask you (the father of the bride) to speak. And then it will be time to deliver your speech.

So what kind of things should you say in your speech?

Well first of all, you will probably want to thank all the guests for coming, all the people who have contributed, and you may like to make an extra thank you to the people who have had to travel long way to be there.

Traditionally after this you will talk about your daughter and what she means to you. You?ll also share your thoughts about handing her over to her partner to be cared for.

Here?s a few tips for what you could talk about in your father of the bride speech:

Firstly, be honest and open when you talk about how you feel about your daughter. Take some time to plan what you?re going to talk about. You can talk about memories, and about her life. One of the best ways of doing this is to focus on a particular story from your daughters past.

Take some time to find the best story you?d like to tell about her. Think of something that reveals her character, or something that makes a funny story, or something that shows how much you love your daughter.

Something to remember if you choose the funny story option is to make it meaningful in some way ? not just funny. Try to add some sentimentality to it. And don?t worry about being too sentimental. This is your daughters wedding day, when else is a better time to be sentimental and get away with it?

One thing you won?t want to leave out of your father if the bride speech is welcoming your new son-in-law into your family. A good way to do this is to tell a little story of when you first met your son-in-law and time you have spent with him or his family.

I hope you found this article useful. Good luck with your speech!
