&lt;p>&lt;a href='http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/9489/'>&lt;img src='http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/chix_pix/feed1.png' border='0'>&lt;/a>
&lt;p>&lt;b>How Do I Know If I'm In-love?-&lt;/b> I know. I Know. Your'e looking for a list of things to check off to let you know if you are in-love or not. Well, I have that list and I will share it with you! First, let me explain that this check-list is tried and true for ANY real "in-love" relationship. Knowledge is power and with some basics to help you along, you will know for sure if you are "in-love", or not!

&lt;p>Being "in-love" is not the same as just plain "love". Example, I "love" my dog, but I am not "in-love" with my dog. My dog is part of my family, I care very much for her and I spend time with her, but I don't have that huge extra spark, and zest, and deep "I need you in my life" feeling for her, that is required to be "in-love" with her.

&lt;p>&lt;b>To be in-love with someone, there are a few things that are required:&lt;/b>
&lt;ul>&lt;li>Physical
&lt;li>Emotional
&lt;li>Positive Worry
&lt;li>Can't Imagine Life Without
&lt;li>Oneness of Relationship
&lt;li>Pre-occupied with Love
&lt;li>Love it's self &amp; the Ability to Love
&lt;li>They Bring Out The Best In You&lt;/ul>

&lt;p>Now, lets explain each of those requirements to be "in-love":

&lt;p>&lt;b>Physical&lt;/b>
&lt;br>You have a deep feeling to be physically close to that person, not just sexually, but also as your closest friend. Touching as well as just being physically close by would also be included here.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Emotional&lt;/b>
&lt;br>You have a deep emotional draw toward this person. There is something about them that catches your attention much more that anyone else does. Something is happening in your brain (not your body) that yearns for that other person and only being with them satisfies this need.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Positive Worry&lt;/b>
&lt;br>You worry about this other person's well being, how their day is going, if they are happy or sad, etc. You have positive feelings toward taking care of that person and want to ensure their happiness.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Can't Imagine Life Without&lt;/b>
&lt;br>This one is pretty much self-explainatory. You cannot imagine life without the other person. In many cases, you would feel as though life were not worth living without them being a large part of your life.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Oneness of Relationship&lt;/b>
&lt;br>You would have a deep feeling that you and your partner are almost one person and represent yourselves as such. Almost nothing would be done withoiut the other person knowing about it or at least able to share it with them. Just about everything would be shared and you would both share your thoughts with each other totally, with nothing hidden. When others see you individually in a physical sense, they would see both of you mentally.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Pre-occupied with Love&lt;/b>
&lt;br>You think about your feelings for the other person on a regular basis and in a positive way throughout the day. You will think about how much you care, how you care, and constantly evaluate those caring aspects.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Love it's self &amp; the Ability to Love&lt;/b>
&lt;br>This goes along with being pre-occupied with love, but also includes your own self-evaluation of your ability to love. Do you have the capability to love that person, or anyone in fact? Many people do not have the capacty to love another person due to physical insecurities and a low self-esteem. You would be evaluating your capability to love that person and checking to see if you are doing a good job of loving.

&lt;p>&lt;b>They Bring Out The Best In You&lt;/b>
&lt;br>This one is also self-explainatory. Being with the other person, or just thinking about the other person brings out the best in you and may even change you for the better. Many times, having someone to care about and care for will make you a better person, so much so that you would feel different just because you know the other person is a large part of your life.

&lt;p>This check-list to know if you are in-love will be extremely useful if you are in doubt of your "in-love" feelings for someone else. If you are true to your feelings when you ask yourself about this check-list, and you are able to say "yes, this is true for me" about each item, then you are "in-love".

&lt;embed width='320' height='20' flashvars='file=http://www.mypodcast.com/fsaudio/mensselfesteem_20080317_1620-196500.mp3&amp;showdownload=true&amp;usecaptions=true&amp;usefullscreen=false&amp;width=320&amp;height=20&amp;linkfromdisplay=false&amp;showdigits=true' src='http://www.mensselfesteem.com/f/mediaplayer.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'>&lt;/embed>

&lt;p>&lt;b>Does Low Self-esteem Effect Your Relationship?-&lt;/b> Men and women with low self-esteem are much more apt to feel responsible for their partner's unhappiness, and to unwittingly sabotage their relationship as a result of low self-esteem, than someone with a high self-esteem. Overly sensitive and insecure partners may also read non-existent meaning into their partners' ambiguous cues, thus leading their relationships to the outcome they wish to avoid. Low self-esteem is a killer to relationships. Sometimes it is even a silent killer, because low self-esteem can manifest itself in many ways. Researchers have found that even after ten years of marriage, people with low self-esteem believe their partners love them far less than they actually do. 

&lt;p>In general, your lack of self-esteem will subconsciously drive her away, because you feel that you don't deserve her. Low self-esteem contributes to poor communication and problem solving skills. This causes a rollercoaster relationship and that's no fun at all. Poor communication can include difficulty expressing feelings, not truly listening, assuming what the other means, and berating the other person.

&lt;p>&lt;i>Side Note&lt;/i>: Researchers have also found that low self-esteem and materialism are not just a correlation, but also a causal relationship where low self-esteem increases materialism, and materialism can also create low self-esteem. They also found that as self-esteem increases, materialism decreases. simple gestures to raise self-esteem dramatically decreased materialism, which provides a way to cope with insecurities.

&lt;p>Low self-esteem can keep you stuck in a relationship with a critical and insensitive woman because you imagine that no one else would love you or put up with you.

&lt;p>Often men with low self-esteem find others who confirm their feelings about themselves by treating them poorly. These are not healthy situations.

&lt;p>Divorced men consistently cite communication problems as the number one reason for their divorce. Communicating with your partner is not always easy, and at times can seem impossible. With practice, however, we can all learn to become more effective communicators, better listeners, more sensitive men, and ultimately better lovers. What really happens when feelings of rejection surface? Are these feelings truly caused by the behavior of another, or is it because this individual does not feel good about themselves? When an individual has solid self-esteem, another person's behavior cannot shake their basic confidence or feeling of worthiness. It's better to build your self-esteem independently so that it survives regardless of the existence of a relationship.

&lt;p>If a man is lacking in self-esteem, he is unlikely to achieve the level of success in a relationship that he might otherwise achieve. For those men, improving self-esteem becomes a pre-requisite for the journey to success. That is not to say they cannot start that journey and in parallel work on improving their self esteem. In fact, the glow of an improving self-esteem may give extra impetus on the road to success in any relationship from an early stage.

&lt;p>If you are in a relationship, keep in mind how your feelings about yourself may be affecting your interactions with your partner and the course your relationship is taking. It is much easier to be in a relationship when you feel good about yourself. People who have low self-esteem tend to have a harder time seeing their relationships clearly. Get involved with others who enhance you and make you feel good about yourself.

&lt;p>Take time to think about how you feel and practice what you might say in the relationship. Direct communication will be more effective than you ever expected. Additionally, communication in bed is just as important as communication outside the bedroom.

&lt;p>No relationship is perfect all of the time. However, if you are feeling particularly distressed about a relationship, you may want to take the lead as a man, and consider individual or couples counseling. Counseling can help you identity negative patterns which may then improve your current relationship, as well as other relationships you may have in the future.

&lt;p>No grown person should have to hold themselves accountable at the same time to their lover everyday. That's called curfew nad that's for children and teens. Not adults in a relationship. The person trying to have this type of "control" in the relationship is really suffering from a bad case of insecurity a.k.a. low self-esteem. They need to control the situation because they need to control you, and they need to control you because they don't trust that you love them enough to control yourself. This is also a sign of jealousy.

&lt;p>At some point gentlemen, you have to believe in something. You have to believe that you are in a relationship with someone who cares about you and respects you enough to not hurt you.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Relationship Equality-&lt;/b> Relationships that stand the test of time are based on principles of equality; both parties feeling as though they're contributing as much as they're getting in return. Show her how much you love her. This doesn't have to cost money either. Just a simple note can brighten her day and in many cases may just get you farther that a dozen roses.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Step 1:&lt;br>
Develop some good communication skills that really work.&lt;/b> Many of the root causes of inequality in relationships is miscommunication. Find out your partner's desires, and just as importantly, what are her frustrations in life? The more you understand and know about her position, the better equipped you'll be to improve your role in the relationship that you have together. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>Step 2:&lt;br>
Be honest and open in sharing your thoughts and desires in life.&lt;/b> Make a true and honest effort to introduce her to your friends and family as an equal partner  and that you are now "one". The more invested she feels in your life, the more willing she will be in developing a true partnership that is the foundation of an equal and true loving relationship. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>Step 3:&lt;br>
Never decide on relationship matters without your partner.&lt;/b> This is the one strongest indicator that you don't take her role in the relationship seriously. You should always err on the side of caution and thoroughly discuss all issues, then decide together. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>Step 4:&lt;br>
Be willing to make sacrifices for your partner and for your relationship to survive.&lt;/b> There will be many times when you'll have to give up old habits to make her happy. No one says you have to become a different person at all, but you must be willing to accept some degree of change. It says you're willing to embrace compromise and that you're willing to embrace a new life together. You are not in this alone now. This isn't about just you. It's about both of you, in everything that you do. Both of your lives need to change toward each other.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Step 5:&lt;br>
When it comes to money, take note of the little things.&lt;/b> There are many techniques that you can use, but most importantly, you need to discuss money matters together. If you feel as though she's overextending herself, you may feel the need to even the score, or even put a stop to it altogether, but never make her feel like the relationship poses an added financial stress. Money matters are touchy and should always be discussed thoughly. Some decisions will need to be made, so make them together.

&lt;p>Your life together, must seem "together" in all ways to her. Additionally, always put her first before anyone else. When she feels safe, secure, and equal in the relationship, you will also feel that security from her.

&lt;ul>&lt;li>Talk about everything together
&lt;li>Share everything together
&lt;li>Feel everything together
&lt;li>Learn together
&lt;li>Live your dreams together
&lt;li>Be your unique individual selves together&lt;/ul>

&lt;p>Being &lt;b>"one"&lt;/b> in a relationship is all about being individually unique separately, but living life together as one. Being in a true loving, lasting, and equal relationship does not mean that you have to forget who you once were. You brought your own experiences and separate life into this relationship and so did she. You fell in-love with each other due to these individual traits. Never, ever give up who you are inside. That isn't what needs to change. How you communicate, share, feel, live, and learn, does have to change. True harmony in a relationship can happen, but you must educate yourselves as a couple on how to do just that and always remember that she is the other half of you now. You must educate yourselves on how to live together as "one". When you are in a commited relationship that is supposed to last until you die, you must give up some habits that you had, and gain some that you did not have. Most men are not naturally good communicators, so we must concentrate specifically on those things that we are lacking; especially on communication. She will also need to learn effective communication.

&lt;p>All things in a love relationship must be kept as equal as possible, and that includes decisions. Yes, you are the man of the house, but that does not give you the right to bully her in any way. Her feelings, wants and desires are just as strong as yours and need to be met to the same degree as yours. She needs your repect first of all, then her love for you will shine though. Hold her with utmost respect. Tell her how much you care for her and for your relationship together. Be honest with her and she will be honest with you. Show her that she is equal to you and she will love you equally as much.

&lt;p>The emotional steps, leading from the first shock of betrayal and on, of divorce are similar to the steps in dealing with a death. In the early stages you will sometimes prefer death. Friends will try to help with their professional advice, but mostly they will say "it gets better with time", "You'll be fine", or "You just need time to heal". That's always was a good one! Like if it were only as simple as a broken leg, or hole in the wall that you could fix on your next day off work. Fixing a hole in the wall is something you can grasp and understand. This type pain was beyond understanding. It is a pain that you know would never go away, and your'e right. But there is something about the pain that will be different over time, and there will be certain emotional steps that will take place. After much research, I have developed a list of the most common emotional steps that a man goes through while surviving a divorce.
&lt;P>
&lt;ul>&lt;li>Denial
&lt;li>Anger, resentment and fear
&lt;li>Withdrawal and grieving
&lt;li>Bargaining 
&lt;li>Depression
&lt;li>Numbness and Disorganization (caused by intense emotional suffering).
&lt;li>Acceptance
&lt;li>Action&lt;/ul>

&lt;p>The first stage of the divorce, denial, typically passes the most quickly. It's the quick hit, and sometimes numbing shock wave, as a man realizes his marriage is over. Anger, resentment and fear are almost always present early on and actually begin the minds healing process, I know it doesn't feel like it, but it is the minds way of beginning to accept life without the other person. Your mind is getting a picture of what life will be like from that point on. It is starting to look toward the future. The bargaining stage is the most active and represents the bulk of active divorce work, covering the most active legal and practical changes that will occur during the divorce. Depression, numbness and disorganization will occur next as the realization of the divorce starts to set in. The final stage represents that time in life during which divorcees are moving far away from their divorce, and into their new life. This stage really has no formal "end," and is marked by the full acceptance of the divorce and a resolution of most of the practical issues and many of the emotional. Time is important here as you cannot speed up the healing process, no matter how hard you try. It just will not happen, so don't even try. Let time pass on it's own and the acceptance step will happen faster than if you tried to speed it. 

&lt;p>There is no right or wrong way to work through your individual emotional phases. You will move through these emotional phases and steps in your own way and many of them will occur at the same time. Being aware that they are there and giving them validation, often times will move you farther along your unique path of grief. Be prepared for unexpected reoccurrences in the future, months or even years after you believed that you were through with it, and had moved beyond the reach of the pain.

&lt;p>When the tumultuous roller coaster ride of emotions slows down, you are able to see a different view. The episodes of emotional crisis will occur less frequently. Now it's time to simplify your life. Your emotional baggage will begin to dwindle. Just as in climbing a mountain, our trek is made easier, faster, and safer if the burden we are carrying is as light as possible. Whether we need to clean out the closet and offload material possessions, or extract ourselves from negative people who drag us down, emptying your life of clutter and emotional weights is a major step toward opening yourself up to new possibilities.

&lt;p>Seek counseling to deal with the emotional issues that a divorce creates or re-opens. Divorce is a period of intense upheaval and depression. It is also a great opportunity for a fresh start, and for lasting personal growth. Lean on someone. Balance is another powerful tool in this process. Even as you work through the legal part of the divorce, don't forget you need emotional support. Utilize friends, family, spiritual advisors and, if needed, a therapist to help you deal with the myriad of feelings that accompany this major change in your life.

&lt;p>Developing your self-esteem is also an important step in living through separation and divorce. You should focus on your personal strengths and not be distracted by situations that decrease your confidence. Confidence does not come automatically. It requires a repetition of well-done tasks. Just as a series of failures can destroy your confidence, a series of small successes will build it.

&lt;p>These emotional steps, that you will go through, are hard and painful. This is one of the toughest times in your life and it will feel like it. Do not let your emotions get away from you. Deal with them and let them happen naturally. Fighting these emotions will only hurt you more and for a longer period of time.

&lt;p>&lt;b>Honing Your Communication Skills&lt;/b>
&lt;p> The matching of two complete strangers on eHarmony is an exercise in pure communication. It starts with words on a page (or in our case a computer screen), and can quickly move to the telephone or quiet restaurant. But wherever it takes place the majority of a couple’s first weeks together are spent in focused and vitally important communication. 

&lt;p> Most people think their communication skills are just fine. It’s easy to progress through life as a relatively happy and productive person with poor communication skills. It’s the type of problem that erodes at your quality of life in subtle, indirect ways. If your appendix becomes infected and starts to swell, you will know in short order. Before long you’ll be in the hospital taking care of a problem that has demanded your attention. Unfortunately for many, poor listening and poor communication skills never grab their attention in the same way. They unknowingly endure the consequences of an ailment they never even recognize. Once you make a commitment to work on your communication skills the results are immediate. 


&lt;p> Every relationship you have will improve. It doesn’t matter what relationship it is. It may be a relationship with your boss, a relationship with your closest friend, relationships with the other people on your softball team, or maybe a relationship with the eventual love of your life. Every relationship will get better, and then your own enjoyment of life is going to go up.

&lt;p> I have to tell you that any person who is a great communicator enjoys life more. You have the sense of getting more of the really important innermost stuff from inside of you across to other people. You have the sense of their not only receiving it, but understanding it and liking it, and more than that you have the sense of getting clear about your own inside world for yourself. Your efforts at becoming a better communicator will straighten out the wrinkles of your life. Most wrinkles in life have to do with poor communication. When you aren’t very good at communicating with other people, then all kind of difficulties start occurring. Four things are needed to be a great communicator: 

&lt;p>&lt;b>1. You Need to be able to access your innermost thoughts and feelings&lt;/b>
&lt;br>Now accessing your innermost thoughts and feelings should be easy, but it’s not. It’s especially difficult for men, but there are a lot of people for who it’s difficult. As I go around the country I talk about the conspiracy that I think has existed in relation to little boys in our culture that has kept them from becoming great communicators. That conspiracy has to do with our fear that they will become sissies and so, in order to keep them away from their tender feelings that might cause them to cry now and then, we keep them away from all their feelings. We get them to hit balls and to shoot baskets and to throw a football with a spiral and we keep them from all their tender thoughts and feelings. Because they’re kept away from all those tender thoughts and feelings they lose contact with those thoughts and feelings. They’re not able to access them at some point in their mid-twenties or early thirties when their new wife says to them, “Let’s talk about deep things. Let’s be intimate with each other.” They just don’t know how to be intimate because they just can’t get hold of what they can share that would be intimate. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>2. You need to be able to identify and verbalize these thoughts and feelings&lt;/b>
&lt;br>The only way that I know to develop a better ability to verbalize your deepest thoughts and feelings is to practice reflecting on what those thoughts and feelings are until you really have a good hold on those thoughts and feelings, and then constantly practice trying to say what it is you think and feel. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>3. You have to be able to accurately understand what another person is saying&lt;/b>
&lt;br>One of the things that our research has shown over and over and over again is that it’s not enough just to understand, or to try to understand, where another person is; you have to be able to accurately understand where they are. It is that accurate understanding of another person’s deepest thoughts and feelings that creates a feeling of connection and bonding. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>4. You Need to be able to make conversations as personal as possible&lt;b>
&lt;br>In other words, when you’re talking to someone about the weather and they’re going off on a trip, if you can say, “Boy, I can hear some real concern for you about the high winds today, because you’re going to be out in your camper aren’t you?” All of a sudden, you’ve understood the concern they have about the weather. It’s not just concern about high winds, it’s concern about high winds that might affect them in some personal way. 

&lt;p> Virtually every conversation you have, if you can not only understand what another person is saying, not only understand what your inner thoughts and feelings are, if but you can make it personal in some way, you turn an ordinary conversation into an intimate conversation. It is intimate conversation that makes people think of you as a great communicator.

      <title>The Single Most Important Dimension for Making a Relationship Work</title>

&lt;br>&lt;a href='http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/8401/'>&lt;img src='http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/chix_pix/feed1.png' border='0'>&lt;/a>

&lt;p>&lt;b>But what does that mean? And is there any one dimension that supercedes the rest?&lt;/b>
&lt;br> The fact is EVERY couple gets together because of compatibility. If you were painfully incompatible with a particular person, you probably wouldn’t make it past the first date. Whether we know it consciously or not, most individuals are searching for approximately five dimensions of compatibility. 
&lt;br>&lt;ul>&lt;li>Sense of humor 

&lt;li>Ability to be pleasantly social 

&lt;li>Physical attraction 

&lt;li>Status 

&lt;li>Kindness&lt;/ul>

&lt;p> If, in the course of several dates together, each person discerns compatibility in these five areas, a relationship is usually born. And it naturally follows that a large number of marriages are based on compatibility, in these five areas as well. So when we say that almost every marriage is based on compatibility it is this narrow compatibility that usually serves as the springboard for two people to move forward together. 

&lt;p> For two people who are dating and living apart, these five traits may seem like enough. But with a serious relationship comes the challenges of living together, mixing finances, sharing responsibility and, often times, raising children. Over the years, each of these events turn up the level of stress between two people, and they learn sooner or later, that five dimensions of compatibility doesn’t give them the stability and common ground that they need to weather the storms of life. 

&lt;p> At that point, the success of their relationship will often hinge on whether they were lucky enough to stumble into the kind of broad-based compatibility that gives relationships extra support-the kind of compatibility they didn’t even know existed. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>So The Person Has to Be Just Like Me?&lt;/b>
&lt;br> Of course not. It would be, in fact, impossible to find someone “just like you.” The idea is that every major area of your life where you and your significant other agree is like a deposit in the bank account of your relationship. And every major area where you disagree is like a withdrawal from that account. Is it okay to have several areas of disagreement? Sure. Any account can stand some withdrawals if the balance is nice and high. But if you have a large number of very different opinions in major areas of life, you’re going to draw that balance dangerously low. 

&lt;p> eHarmony once received an e-mail from a man who was pointing out how wrong this idea was. “My wife and I are practically opposite in many ways and we’ve been happily married for years.” Because we were curious to hear his story, we developed a friendly back and forth about his situation. When we asked about their differences, he wrote, “I like Chinese food and she likes Italian. I like football and she hates football. I like to sleep late and she gets up early.” But when it came to the more substantial things in life – values, character, curiosity, intellect, work ethic, etc., you probably won’t be surprised to learn that in every “major” dimension of marriage this man and his wife were totally in sync. 

&lt;p> You can certainly make the argument that differences in a relationship spice things up. However, it’s easy to see that having major differences in important areas of life require continual compromise. While that may be a valuable exercise in loving sacrifice, over many years it can drain precious energy from a relationship. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>The Universal Solvent&lt;/b>
&lt;br> High school chemistry often covers the “universal solvent,” which is a substance that has the ability to dissolve both bases and acids. It turns out that the earth’s most abundant molecule, water, has the ability to dissolve most of the compounds we find in nature. In the world of compatibility there is a kind of universal solvent. To be clear, however, the wide variety of people and the combinations that they form as couples make it impossible to identify a universal “most important dimension of compatibility.” Rather, the presence of this universal solvent makes every part of a marriage or a serious relationship more stable, supportive and enjoyable. 

&lt;p>&lt;b>We call this dimension, adaptability.&lt;/b>
&lt;br> If you and your partner have a deep well of adaptability in your relationship, it acts like a buffer zone between you and serious problems. It cannot make up for a significant disconnect in areas such as character, autonomy or self-concept. But even if one person is highly adaptable, the relationship often just “works.” 

&lt;p> When two people are acting authentically in a relationship there will be times of conflict. No two honest people can agree all the time. He will want to go out and she will want to stay home. He may want to visit family and she may want to take a trip to a new place. These disagreements may be minor or major, but if both partners are committed to sitting together and saying, “How can I give on this, and how can you give on this, so we can be together on this?” the relationship will strengthen and grow with each resolution. Adaptability allows us to recognize the power and the benefit of such a compromise, and enjoy the new choice almost as much as our original preference. 

&lt;p> Many important dimensions such as intellect, emotional energy and self-concept are established early in our lives and virtually impossible to change. Adaptability, however, can be nurtured and expanded in your relationship. By acknowledging its importance and being mindful of how it can dissolve the areas of friction, you can practice your adaptability and watch it have greater and greater impact on the “acids and bases” that you experience.

My name is Dave, I live in Australia. This is about your E-Mail about the beaten man. I don't consider myself a beaten man but some of us out here in the real world have an aversion to pain, you know the "getting your guts kicked in" type of pain?  

I have tried some of your techniques and still had no success, just more kicks in the guts for my troubles, and I don't know about you but I have a pain thresh-hold and have reached it,  getting rejected or laughed at by women is painful no matter what you tell yourself when you get to your pain limit.  

What are you supposed to do when this happens? You can say what you like about calling it a setback but when you get to the stage that you start avoiding women because you don't want to be laughed at or rejected it is not a setback, it is a confidence killer.  

No amount of self reinforcement helps when you get to this point, one more rejection or one more woman laughing at you is too much to take.  

The only even partial success I have had was with a married woman and I didn't know she was married until near the end of our chat, this made things worse not better, 
unlike most men you target with your advice, I have morals.  

I won't try to chat up a married woman, if she wants to start a relationship with me she has to end her existing relationship beforehand, this woman was looking for that little bit extra on the side and seemed quite upset when I told her "Thanks But No-Thanks."  

My theory is that if she would cheat on her husband then she would cheat on me, even if she got divorced to be with me, what do you think?. Solve this in the real world not in fantasy land.
 
Dave

===============================================================

My Response:

First off, Dave, all my advice is based on the "real world." 

Judging from your writing, it's YOU who lives in a fantasy land.

You live in a fantasy land where no girls like you, where they will ALL reject you and laugh at you.  

This is a magical place where you can't get a date and are destined to die alone, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a LIAR.

It's a mystical, magical world you've created in your head because you want to feel sorry for yourself and don't want to do the hard work (yes, that's right, HARD WORK) to get what you want. You'd rather just be lazy and feel sorry for yourself.

This is something all "beaten men" have in common. They're called "beaten" for a reason.  

They've given up hope.  

They look at their lives as a lost cause, and resign themselves to "cursing the world" and the all women as hating them so they can feel justified in their hopeless beliefs.

You believe this, and yet you have gone to great lengths to contradict yourself in your own email.

You claim that no women like you and they all laugh at you and reject you. Yet, there's this woman, who happens to be married, who expressed ATTRACTION for you!

Now, obviously you have a standard that you abide by where you don't go after women who are married, which is fine.  

I have the same standard, but I can't expect everyone to live by it. Each manmust have his own rules that he feels comfortable with.

But instead of looking at this as a positive thing -- that being a woman was attracted to you and liked you and actually WANTED to be with you -- you saw it as a negative -- She's married, so I'm just wasting my time!

Shame, shame, shame on you.

No one knows better than me how hard it can be when you're trying to go from "&lt;a href="http://mensself.mjack234.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ARTAPPCH" target="_top">Beaten Man&lt;/a>" to "best man."  

I worked very hard at this myself when the first inklings of "Art Of Approaching" were being developed from me going out 5 nights a week to try and break this fear of meeting 
women that I had.

I was so obsessed with getting good at meeting women, I would show up for my job the next day half-asleep because I was out late the night before.  

I almost got fired numerous times! I was getting physically ill from the lack of sleep, and when I first started, I was getting rejected left and right.

But I kept at it, figured a few things out, and before long, it became easy! And I suddenly didn't have to go out 5 nights a week, I could go out just when I wanted and have fun!

If I had believed as you do, this story would not have a happy ending, and I probably wouldn't even be responding to your email, because I'd just be some other guy who couldn't talk to women.

So coming from someone who's overcome this obstacle in the REAL WORLD, and not your depressing, negative fantasy land of evil women who hate you, listen to me when I say this...

IF YOU FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVES, YOUR VIEWS WILL BE NEGATIVE. IF YOU FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES, YOUR VIEWS WILL BE POSITIVE.

This is something ALL men who are suffering from "beaten man" syndrome should take to heard. You should memorize those two sentences and make them your mantra.

Your beliefs shape how you see the world. And how you see the world shapes your beliefs. If you walk up to a woman, and say "Hi, let me buy you a drink."  

And she responds:  

"Um, you should leave now," and then turns her back to you (which actually did happen to me once when I first started out, but that's another article, lol), you have two ways of viewing that interaction.

The first way is "Oh God! I'm ugly and no girls like me! That rejection hurt so bad! Everyone saw that! I'm a loser! I can't talk to any other girl in this place now!  
Waaaaaaaaaaah!"

The other way is "Wow, that didn't work out so well. Why is that? Maybe every guy in this place has used that same line on her andmshe's sick of it? I wonder what would 
happen if I used a different line?"

Do you see the difference?

In one example, I automatically reverted to despair, pain, rejection, negativity. I heaped blame on myself for failing.

In the other example, I was still hurt, but I looked at the situation as a learning experience where I figured out what I might have done wrong and came up with a solution.

There is a WORLD of difference between these two points of view.

You, dear Dave, and every beaten man like you, has trained himself to look at things in terms of your own failures. You selfishly indulge in your own feelings of loss and inadequacy. This is what continues to beat you down.

The guys who are successful with women learn from these experiences. They start to spot specific traits in women that they know they're good at attracting.  

They figure out what works and what doesn't, and only do the stuff that works. They enjoy the success of their hard work, and they revel in the good feelings they have while dismissing the bad ones.

Which sounds more appealing to you?

Getting rejected by women can be a confidence killer and can be painful IF YOU LET IT. You have to learn to adapt and do what works instead of focusing on your pain.

You say you've done "some of my techniques" to no success. Have you bothered to buy my book?  

Have you read it cover to cover?  

Did you do the Bootcamp, which is specifically DESIGNED to help you improve WITHOUT all the pain of rejection?  

Have you done the confidence building exercises I give you? Have you learned to read a woman's body language to recognize who's open to being approached so you can minimize 
your "crash and burn?"

Have you bothered to do ANY of this work?

I'm willing to bet you haven't.

Because if you had, your email would have been a success story rather than a whine-fest.

It always amazes me when I see guys who say "There was this one girl who was really into me, but X was wrong with her, so I didn't go forward, and no other women like me."

Let me tell you, if one woman likes you,there are others out there who do as well. You just have to find them, and do the work it takes to be prepared for meeting them.

Now, I know this article sounds harsh, but I'm trying to get through to you and every other guy out there like you what it is you're doing wrong that you need to fix, and sometimes that requires tough love.

But I'm not just going to spew tough love. I'm going to actually give you some tools to help you overcome this rough patch in your road to success with women (note that 
I haven't given up on you, though you may have!).

If you're stuck, and you need that extra push to help you out and go from "beaten man" to "ladies man," then this special Package is for you.

And for those of you who just want to get the basic, bare-bone fundamentals of what it takes to meet massive amounts of women with no fear of rejection, then you owe it

      <title>Beware EVIL Women!</title>
      <description>
&lt;a href="http://mensself.mjack234.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ARTAPPCH" target="_top">EVIL WOMEN&lt;/a>.

&lt;table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=1 border=2 align="right">&lt;tr>&lt;td align="center">&lt;a href="http://mensself.mjack234.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ARTAPPCH">&lt;img alt="EVIL Women, The Art of Approaching Women" src="http://www.artofapproaching.com/images/SF-DVD-Case.jpg" height="200" width="200" border="0">&lt;/a>&lt;br>The Art of Approaching Women&lt;br>&lt;a href="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/z/89/CD13/">&lt;img src="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/42/13/89" height="150" width="117 alt="Double Your Dating" border="0">&lt;/a>&lt;br>Double Your Dating&lt;br>Free for 7 Days&lt;br>&lt;a href="http://mensself.dranfield3.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=CSEWORK">&lt;img src="http://www.the-anfield-institute-of-personal-development.com/images/SEBOOK.JPG" height="150" width="117 alt="The Complete Self Esteem Workbook" border="0">&lt;/a>&lt;br>The Complete Self Esteem Workbook&lt;/td>&lt;/tr>&lt;/table>
Just like all things, there is good, and there is evil.  The good can be a tremendously positive force in your life, filling it with joy and happiness.  The evil, however, can cause tremendous pain, suffering, and even DEATH.

It's no different with women.

There are good women in this world, and there are women that can only be described as EVIL.  

The purpose of this email is to help you spot the bad ones so you can save yourself from untold suffering and focus all your attention on finding a good woman that you can have amazing experiences with.

The first thing I want to say about EVIL women is that it is important to spot 
them early!  

And once spotted, it is important not to have any type of contact with them if you 
want to enjoy complete happiness in your love life.

Of course, sometimes it can be very tempting to have a one-night stand or hot-and-heavy fling with a woman who is bad for you. Andsometimes, everything can turn out okay.  But that doesn't mean you're not still playing Russian Roulette with your love life!

The best defense against &lt;a href="http://mensself.mjack234.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ARTAPPCH" target="_top">EVIL WOMEN&lt;/a> is knowing the type of woman you want.

EXACTLY the type of woman you want.

When you know what you want, your search for the woman that's right for you becomes much narrower and focused, so instantly you filter out a great many of the women you'll be wasting your time with.

For instance, let's say you're looking for a serious girlfriend...

What are the things you'd want in a woman who's going to be a good girlfriend?  Let's say you'd like a woman who really enjoys outdoor activities (because that's what you enjoy).  

So you're girlfriend has to be an avid outdoorsman. BOOM!  You've just narrowed your search and eliminated a good 90% of the EVIL women that are out there.

But there's still that 10% you have to look out for.

The next thing you should be aware of is if she is in a profession that lends itself 
to "unbalanced" personalities.

For instance, if the girl is, or has ever been, a stripper, a prostitute, or a porn 
actress, her chances of causing you incredible amounts of trouble are EXTREMELY great.  

And we're not just talking about the mental trouble either, they could very well give you a disease from which you may never recover!

Another thing to look out for is self-destructive habits. If you notice the woman you're with is a heavy drug user or alcoholic... RUN.  

Do not get seriously involved with women who drink too much, do too many drugs, or 
both. These are women who will care more about the substances they abuse than YOU.  And they are also women who care nothing about themselves, and getting emotionally attached to someone who cares nothing for their well-being is a painful endeavor.

Some people criticize me for saying this, but I do believe it... BEWARE SINGLE MOTHERS!  

If you're getting involved with a woman who already has a kid, you're opening yourself up for a great deal of trouble down the line.

Why?

Because if she got pregnant once by some other guy,chances are she'll get pregnant 
by YOU! Even if you use birth control!  

And if she DOES get pregnant, chances are she'll go ahead and have the baby.  This 
means that whether you break up with her or not, you'll be stuck paying child support for the next 18 years!  

Now, if the idea of shelling out your hard-earned cash for a kid you never wanted to a woman you don't like for the next 18 years of your life doesn't appeal to you -- STAY AWAY FROM SINGLE MOMS!

In addition to that warning above, single moms will always choose their kids over 
you, which means you will always get the short end of the stick when it comes to 
her time and attention.  

So if you want lots of sex and adventures in your relationship, you can throw that 
away when dealing with a single mom!

And not only that, but depending on what state you live in, if her kid gets attached to you, you might be legally liable for child support EVEN IF IT ISN'T YOUR KID!  Check your local laws to be certain.

Watch out for women who are too clingy and get jealous easily! 

These are women who are incredibly insecure, and most likely they will cheat on you! In fact, the more jealous they are, the more likely it is they are sleeping around.  

This is because people tend to project their own behaviors on others, and if they think you're cheating on them, chances are it's because they, themselves, are cheating (or thinking about it!).

Watch how the woman treats her own family. Typically, women who have good relationships with their mother AND father are well balanced women who will treat you well.

If they hate EITHER of their parents, chances are they're going to end up treating you the same way.

As a side note to this, loot at how her parents treat each other if you get the chance. If their relationship is a good one, chances are the relationship you have with her will be good too!  The same is true if the parents have a BAD relationship.

Also, look to see if the woman you like also likes children. It doesn't matter if you want to have kids or not.  

If a woman does not like kids, that's a statement about her own capacity to love and nurture!  

If she hates kids, then it's a very good possibility she is incapable of deep 
commitment and personal connection, and will end up using and abusing the man she 
is with!

And finally, if you find out that you're with an &lt;a href="http://mensself.mjack234.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ARTAPPCH" target="_top">EVIL WOMAN&lt;/a>, do not hesitate to DUMP her immediately!

And when I say dump, I mean DUMP.  Delete her number from your phone, do not see her or talk to her again.  

Cut her out of your life completely!

And if she comes crawling back to you promising to change, DO NOT TAKE HER BACK.  

She won't change, and she'll make your life even WORSE than it was when you were with her before. Be strong and leave her behind completely, and work towards finding a good, positive woman to have in your life.

You can't protect yourself 100% from EVIL women, but if you follow the guidelines I've given you above, then you have an extremely good chance of filtering them all out.

So how do you find yourself a good woman? Well, odd enough as it sounds, the quality 
of the woman you can get directly depends on how high you value yourself!

This means building a strong self-image that you can present to the world.

In the book, The Art Of Approaching, it goes into great detail on how to do this.
Everything from building extreme confidence with women, to how to get them to go out with you is in there!

      <title>How To Call A Woman To Ask Her Out</title>

How To Call A Woman To Ask Her Out&lt;/span>
					&lt;br>
					&lt;FONT size="1">
						&lt;BR>
						-By David DeAngelo, Author of Double Your Dating&lt;/FONT>
					&lt;br>
&lt;table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=1 border=2 align="right">&lt;tr>&lt;td>&lt;a href="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/z/89/CD13/">&lt;img src="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/42/13/89" height="150" width="111 alt="Double Your Dating" border="0">&lt;/a>&lt;br>Double Your Dating&lt;br>Free for 7 Days&lt;br>Click the Book Cover Above&lt;/td>&lt;/tr>&lt;/table>
					&lt;br>
					      I have a question for you...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      When you get a woman's number and you're picking 
					up the phone to call and "ask her out", does it bother you?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Do you get freaked out?
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Do you start thinking about exactly what you're 
					going to say, how you're going to say it, how to deal with her rejecting you... 
					etc.?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Do you ever get NERVOUS when you're dialing the 
					phone?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      You know that feeling when you just start 
					getting anxious for no logical reason, and you just CAN'T control it?
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Have you ever had to actually HANG UP because 
					you were so damn freaked out... and you just couldn't follow through with it?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      OK, now another set of interesting questions...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Have you ever called a woman, and started 
					talking to her, only to realize that she was in a COMPLETELY different mood 
					from the last time?
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Have you ever had a woman "turn cold" on you all 
					of a sudden?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      It's almost like you're talking to a different 
					person from the girl you met just a day or two before... and it makes no sense 
					to you... right?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And finally...
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Have you ever worked up the nerve to call, 
					gotten her on the phone, had a great conversation, but when it came time to ask 
					her out, you froze up because you didn't know what to say?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Or even worse, have you ever gotten to the end 
					of the conversation and asked her out, only to have her answer with:
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					"Well, maybe... call me Friday afternoon... OK?"
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					or...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					"Actually, I'm going to be busy all this week, but thanks for asking... 
					(silence)"
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					...?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      Have you ever had one of those conversations 
					where you could just TELL that something wasn't right... and that she wasn't 
					going to be taking you up on your date offer, or calling you back at all 
					anytime soon?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      So why all the problems?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      What is it about this particular few minutes of 
					time that constantly ends in problems for guys?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      I personally think that this issue comes down to 
					a few key DEEPER ISSUES.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And I think that if you don't have these other 
					issues "handled", you're going to keep running into problems... and NEVER even 
					know WHY...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      ...which sucks.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      I mean, it's bad enough to keep having a 
					particular problem and not figure out how to solve it... but the idea that the 
					solution is in doing something you would never think of is a little bit 
					maddening.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      In other words, I think that this is all about 
					understanding the problem, and actually PREVENTING it from coming up... rather 
					than trying to "solve it" in the moment.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Let me put it this way...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      If you're dialing the phone, and you're starting 
					to feel nervous, then it's already too late to solve the problem.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      No quick fix will help you.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Or if you're on the phone with her and you have 
					just asked her out on a date, and she says "Um, let me call you back in a few 
					days and tell you"... and you start to get that sinking feeling because you 
					know she's blowing you off... IT'S TOO LATE.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      There's no "magic pill" at this point.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      The answer is PREVENTION.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					THE MAGIC FORMULA
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      So let's take a few minutes and talk about the 
					issues and what CAUSES them.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Here are some of the "root causes", and how I 
					see them...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					1) Having no other options.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      If you're sitting at the phone with ONE phone 
					number in your hand, and you haven't been out on a date in a long time, and you 
					are feeling DESPERATE, you're probably going to get VERY nervous.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      When you have no other options, the single one 
					in front of you becomes VERY valuable.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Translation: You want it TOO badly.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      This AUTOMATICALLY triggers your emotional 
					system, because at some level you realize that if you screw this up, it's all 
					over. And you know that it's all going to happen in just an few SECONDS.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      The pressure is too much!
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					2) Putting too much importance on a single girl.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      Now, if you have a girl that you've been dating 
					for six months, and you've decided that she's one in a million, it makes sense 
					to put a lot of importance on your relationship with her.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      But if you don't know a girl very well, or you 
					haven't even dated her at all, then you are only setting yourself up for major 
					disappointment by putting too much importance on ANY girl.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					3) Thinking you need to IMPRESS her.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      This is a HUGE issue.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Most men "unconsciously" behave and communicate 
					like they're trying to IMPRESS the woman of their desires.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      When you think about this, it only makes 
					sense... of course you'd want to impress the woman you like... so she'll think 
					you're a cool guy and want to be with you.&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      But have you ever thought for a moment how an 
					interesting, attractive woman sees it when a guy is TRYING to IMPRESS her?&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Well, here's the INSTANT and UNCONSCIOUS 
					response that women have:
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      "He's trying to hard. There's something wrong. 
					This guy must have something he's trying to hide... and he must be pretty 
					insecure."&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					      In other words, the INSTANT you do something or 
					say something that is an obvious attempt at impressing a woman, her radar 
					system screams:&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					"WUSSY!"
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					4) Having expectations and being attached to them.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      You might think of this one as a variation of 
					"wanting it too much"... only slightly different.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      When you start getting your hopes and 
					expectations up, you begin to get ATTACHED to them.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Then you run the risk of HOLDING ON TOO TIGHT to 
					your little fantasy.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Bad idea.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Women don't date guys who assume too much, act 
					too comfortable, or fall for them too quickly.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Remember, beautiful women have guys falling for 
					them left and right.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      In fact, they almost EXPECT guys to go out on 
					one or two dates with them, then say "You know, I really like you..." and other 
					equally predictable sentiments.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Just like being desperate can destroy your 
					chances with a woman, liking a woman too much, too fast, and creating 
					expectations leads to crazy, stupid mistakes as well.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Now, think over what I just said...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      I'm basically saying that if you want to cure 
					the problem of freaking out when you call women to ask them out, and the 
					problem of screwing it up when you have that first conversation and ask them 
					out the first time, then you have to go INSIDE first... and do some 
					preventative maintenance on yourself.&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      And the GOOD NEWS is that this stuff is not only 
					good for you, it also helps you get even MORE dates with interesting women.&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      So here's what to do about this particular 
					problem:
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					1) Get more options.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      If you go out one evening with a couple of 
					friends, and you meet a REALLY hot girl... and you wind up having a fun 
					conversation, and getting her number, what should you do?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      RIGHT! Go get at least ONE MORE girl's number. 
					More, if you can.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      This way, when you're picking up the phone to 
					call (or sending out emails, or whatever), you've got another woman to call 
					right after her...
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      In other words, if it doesn't go well, no big 
					deal. No sweat at all.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Instead of putting all your "hopes" in this one 
					situation, go get more options... this will prevent many problems, as well as 
					giving you more women to date!
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And think about it... when are you MOST likely 
					to get a woman's phone number? When are you the most likely to be in a great 
					mood that actually ATTRACTS women?
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Exactly... in the moments after you've already 
					gotten another woman's number.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      So take advantage of this time!
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					2) Dial the phone expecting it to NOT work out with this girl.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      I have news for you: Most women have something 
					about their personality, behavior, future plans, etc. that is going to 
					disqualify them from being good "potential mates" for you.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Now, I'm not saying that "all women are screwed 
					up", etc.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      What I AM saying is that you need to realize 
					that the only reason you're freaking out so much is because your EMOTIONS are 
					running the show.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      You need to think about how rare it is that you 
					actually meet a girl that is COMPATIBLE with you... that you'd enjoy spending 
					time with even if she wasn’t good-looking.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      If you have this in mind as you're dialing the 
					phone, you won't have that "I'm desperate" vibe going on.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      You won't be talking like a guy who has a gun to 
					his head, either... which is a good thing... because women get weirded-out by 
					this kind of thing.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					3) Instead of asking a woman out, tell her what you're doing, and then tell her 
					she can come along if she wants.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Why is "asking a woman out" early on a bad idea? 
					Because if you don't have a world-class understanding of male/female dynamics, 
					you're going to come across as a guy who is trying to use food as date-bait.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      In other words, if the first thing out of your 
					mouth is "I'd like to take you out to dinner" it's going to be interpreted as 
					"I don't think you're probably going to accept an invitation to spend time with 
					me unless I throw in something extra...".
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Weak.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And that's how SHE sees it.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      The alternative?
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Tell her that you're going to be doing 
					something, and that she should join you.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      "Hey, I'm going to go down to Starbucks and get 
					a cup of tea. You should join me. I'm way more fun than whatever else you were 
					going to do... and that's a fact!"
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Extra bonus points:
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Hint that she's missing out if she doesn't 
					accept immediately.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      If she hems and haws, or hesitates... just 
					interrupt and say "Hey, you're the one who's missing out".
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      I also like "You know, never mind. I guess you 
					don't like to have fun...".
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Great stuff!
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      This is solid Cocky &amp; Funny material, and 
					it's the right time to use it.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      You know, I personally used to get VERY freaked 
					out when calling women for the first time on the phone... and "asking them 
					out".
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Now that I understand this particular "moment in 
					time" better, and now that I understand more of the "dynamics" of what's going 
					on, I get MUCH better results personally...&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      In fact, I never get "nervous" anymore when 
					calling women, and I rarely if EVER have a woman "flake out" on me.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      Now, in this newsletter I've shared a few points 
					to help you get better results in this particular area. Use them. They'll 
					definitely help you.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      You should read this newsletter right before you 
					call every one of the next 10 women you meet... in fact.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      But as you can probably tell, this is just one 
					of MANY important facets of success with women.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      In fact, this is just scratching the surface of 
					the skills you'll need if you want to have CONSISTENT success with the most 
					DESIRABLE women.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      The reality of this situation is that if you 
					want to take control of this area of your life, and not walk helpless with 
					women anymore, you're going to need to take more steps to get yourself educated 
					on this topic.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And what's the best way to do that quickly, 
					easily, and without spending years of time and lots of money learning the HARD 
					WAY?
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      My eBook, Double Your Dating.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      It will take you step-by-step through all the 
					key theories, concepts, and techniques you'll need to start meeting and dating 
					more women starting IMMEDIATELY.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      And here's another interesting benefit that 
					comes from going through my eBook...
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      It actually CHANGES HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      The first time you read it, you'll be hitting 
					your head saying "Ah ha! Ah ha!" the whole time.&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      All of those things that have happened to you 
					with women will start to make sense.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      All of the times you screwed up will stop 
					bothering you, because you'll "get" what happened... and all of the times that 
					things worked will also make sense.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Of course, you'll also be shaking your head as 
					you learn some of the most amazing techniques for approaching women, getting 
					numbers, getting dates, and taking things to a more "physical level" that have 
					ever been created (For example, I share some of my own personal favorite "pick 
					up lines" that work better than anything I've ever heard of for approaching 
					women... and I don't share these anywhere else except my audio and video 
					programs and intensive live seminars).&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      But one of the REAL benefits comes AFTER you go 
					through it. This is when the real MAGIC starts to happen.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      When you're out at restaurants watching the 
					couple at the next table, you'll UNDERSTAND what is happening.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      When a woman starts doing something subtle that 
					you would have never noticed before, you'll SEE it... and she'll SEE that you 
					see it... and you will instantly be talking to her on a DIFFERENT LEVEL... all 
					because you know something that most other guys don't.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      When you encounter "resistance" or "problems" or 
					"tests" from women, you will no longer need to get nervous or upset, because 
					you'll know what TO DO about it... and when you actually DO the right thing 
					you'll see that problem disappear.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      The point that I'm trying to make is that this 
					education will not only teach you techniques for meeting women, it will also 
					give you a new POWER that you never had before.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      I can honestly say to you that if this program 
					were available five or so years ago when I started learning this stuff, I would 
					have gladly traded ANYTHING I owned for it... or paid any amount of money.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      But it wasn't, so I had to take YEARS figuring 
					all of this stuff out for myself.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      This eBook is priceless, and it's worth at least 
					ten times what I sell it for. As you probably know, you can order it WITHOUT 
					RISK as well.
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					      Order and try it out. If you're not happy, just 
					say "no thanks" and I'll refund your money. No questions, no hassles.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					      I'm that confident that it will take your 
					success with women to a whole new level.

					P.S. If you'd like to send me a Success Story, Question, or Comment, follow 
					these guidelines:
					&lt;br>

					&lt;br>
					1) Keep it short and to the point. Two paragraphs max.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					2) Tell me what's working for you before you ask your question. I appreciate 
					all of the "Your stuff is great" and "I don't need to tell you how well your 
					stuff works" comments, but the fact is that I DO need to hear all of the 
					specifics... because this helps other guys to see what's working in different 
					situations.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					3) If you have a Success Story, write "Success Story" in the subject line of 
					the email. I read these first.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>

					4) At the end of the email, give me your initials and tell me where you're 
					from.
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					5) Send it to me at:
					&lt;br>
					&lt;br>
					&lt;a href="mailto:successstories@doubleyourdating.com" class="link">SuccessStories@DoubleYourDating.com&lt;/a>

      <title>How To Tell If She's Interested</title>

      &lt;font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif">
      &lt;font size="2">
            OK, I have a quick trick question for you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            That's right, I said a quick TRICK question.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            How can you tell if a woman is interested in you?&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Answer quickly.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            So what gives?&lt;br>
       
      &lt;br>
            Why am I asking you a trick question?&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Simple.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Because I'm trying to make you THINK.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I'm sure that, just like me, you've read a hundred
      dating tips and articles that say things like:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      "If she tilts her head to one side and strokes&lt;br>
      her neck, that's a sign of interest..."&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      "If she licks her lips in a longing fashion,&lt;br>
      that means she's interested in you..."&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      "If she laughs a lot, makes positive eye contact,&lt;br>
      and touches you often, then she likes you..."&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            DUH!&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I remember when I first read all this stuff.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I thought to myself "Wow, cool! I must have
      been missing these hints because I didn't know to look for them. Now I'll know when a woman is
      interested in me...".&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Well, there was ONE SMALL problem...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            The problem is that women display these MAJOR INTEREST signals in about 1 of 1,000 interactions
      with men...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            And there was one BIG problem...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            That problem was that none of the damn dating
      tips I read said a single thing about how to MAKE women give you these signals.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            In other words, what I realized is that average
      guys like me who don't get "approached" by women need to learn not only WHAT to look for, but, more
      importantly, how to actually CREATE ATTRACTION in women so they GAVE me these signals in the
      FIRST PLACE.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            So let me share with you some dating tips on how to
      MAKE women feel ATTRACTION for you... and then I'll share some ideas on what to LOOK FOR to tell if
      a woman is interested.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            And my ideas will be a WEEEEEE BIT different than the ones you read in your flirting books.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            OK, so you're out at a bar with a few friends, and it's time to meet some interesting women.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            You look around, and none of the hot young babes in there seem to be tilting their heads to
      one side, looking you in the eye, and licking their lips... so you decide to DO SOMETHING.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            What do most guys do in this situation?&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Either:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      1) Nothing, because they're scared, or...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      2) Something typical, like ask a girl to dance, or if he can buy her a drink.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            If you're guilty of doing these, raise your
      hand.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Then take your raised hand, and slap yourself
      silly. Not too hard. But silly.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Here's a thought for you...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            If you put 100 guys in a bar with one beautiful
      women sitting alone, and you say to all 100 of the guys "Hey guys, which one of you can walk over to
      that woman and do something to make that woman feel a SEXUAL ATTRACTION for you?"... I'd say that&lt;br>
      if you're LUCKY, one of them will claim that he can do it.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            In other words, for most guys, the idea of walking up to a girl they don't know and doing
      something that will TRIGGER an attraction is completely outside of their universe.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            This is one of the reasons why guys do things
      like asking girls to dance, buying them drinks, etc.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Now, something you must understand when it comes to women and ATTRACTION is that women don't
      feel ATTRACTION for WUSSIES.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            ATTRACTION isn't a CHOICE.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            It isn't logical (at least, on the surface).&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            But once you start to "get it", everything
      changes. Your entire perspective changes once you "get it", and your results change instantly as
      well.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            So here's a dating tip for you to try:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            MESS WITH WOMEN.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            That's right "mess with" them.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Tease.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Bust on.&lt;br>
         
      &lt;br>
            Be difficult.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Why?&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Because it INSTANTLY communicates that:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      1) You could care less what she thinks of you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      2) You're a fun person.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      3) You're unpredictable.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      4) You're a bit of a "wild card"&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      5) You GET IT.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Now, you might be shaking your head right now
      and saying "That's doesn't make any sense. Why would a woman feel attracted to me if I mess with
      her instead of being nice?".&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            That's a good question.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            But for now, take the hand that you slapped
      yourself with earlier, and slap yourself again.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Good.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I want you to STOP following your "be nice and
      kiss ass" instincts when you first meet a woman, and instead practice MESSING WITH HER.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Make fun of something.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Go to hand her something, then pull it away at the last second.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Shake your head in despair and tell her that
      she's screwing up her chances with you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Say something Cocky &amp; Funny, then turn around
      and walk away before she can respond to your face.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Can ya feel me, dog?&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Now the good stuff...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      HOW TO TELL IF SHE'S INTERESTED&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Well this is what you were looking for, so here it is...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I'm going to give you a stupid-proof formula
      for knowing whether or not a woman is interested in you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Here it is:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      1) You engage her.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      2) She engages you back.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            Yes, that's it. Please stop the applause long
      enough that I can finish. You can clap later.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            I know that this sounds a little "Duh-ish", but
      stay with me here.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            If I walk into a restaurant, and the hostess
      asks me how many are in my party, and I answer with "Well, there are three of us. I guess there
      will be FOUR if YOU join us..." and she laughs at my joke, then IT'S ON!&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            If I'm standing at the bar, and the woman next
      to me bumps into my arm, and I turn and say "Hey, watch it, OK? Keep some space here, I need at
      least a foot of room..." in a serious tone of voice... and she starts
      playing along by smiling and moving away from me then back again playfully,
      then IT'S ON!&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            If I'm talking to a woman that I met at the
      magazine rack, and I ask her "What's with that huge purse of yours? You got a dog in there or
      something?" and she starts laughing and making excuses, then IT'S ON!&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            In a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is:&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      1) Stop looking around for signals from women that they're "interested" in you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      2) Stop CARING whether or not a particular woman is interested in you.&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
      3) Instead, start TRIGGERING the interest, and watching to see if women ENGAGE. If they do,
      then assume that IT'S ON!&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            As long as you use how she's responding to what YOU do as your
      gauge, then you'll have a MUCH easier time spotting the "she wants me"
      clues...&lt;br>
      &lt;br>
            ...Because YOU ARE THE ONE CAUSING THEM.&lt;/font>&lt;/p> &lt;/font>
    &lt;/center>

          &lt;p>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">***THIS WEEK'S QUESTION***&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "How should I act on the first date? What should we talk about?
          How do you keep the conversation interesting?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          These are all questions that I get asked often in one way or another,
          and in this dating tip I'd like to address this topic.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          ***MY COMMENTS***&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          The first thing to remember when you're meeting up with a girl for
          "a date" is that it's NOT an INTERVIEW.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          You're not applying for a job (and neither is she), so don't act like
          it.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          It's so funny to me when I sit down in a restaurant and I hear a
          couple that's obviously out on their first date... and the guy has no
          idea what to do.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          It sounds like this:&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "So, did you grow up around here?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "Where did you go to school?"&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          "Do you have brothers and sisters?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Painful.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          Why is it that people tend to act like they're on job interviews when
          they go out on dates?&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          It's just such the not-right thing to do.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I mean, no wonder women sit around with each other and complain about
          how hard it is to find an interesting guy in this world.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Here's a good rule of thumb:&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          ONLY ASK QUESTIONS OR TALK ABOUT COMMON, BORING, PREDICTABLE TOPICS
          LIKE SCHOOL, WORK AND FAMILY IF YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY RUN OUT OF ALL
          OTHER OPTIONS.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          And why is this?&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Good question. And I'm glad you asked.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          First, let's talk about WHY most guys allow the conversation to turn
          to these ultra-boring topics...&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Most guys approach a first date from the perspective of "I don't
          want to screw this up".&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          In other words, they try to play it safe and not do anything or say
          anything that the girl might not like.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          They try to present themselves as "nice guys" who love mom,
          have a good job, and are stable.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Somehow, guys have gotten the idea that if they act nice, buy dinner,
          and talk about the same old things that everyone else uses to bore
          women to tears that they might get lucky and score (or at least get a
          kiss and a second opportunity to buy dinner).&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I don't know where this concept came from, but it's just not a very
          effective approach.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          WOMEN AREN'T ATTRACTED TO THE SAME OLD SAME OLD, BORING, PREDICTABLE
          CONVERSATION.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Attraction happens when there is energy, spice, humor, mystery...
          COCKY AND FUNNY... and saucy.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          So if you want to create ATTRACTION instead of BOREDOM, you're going
          to have to learn a new way.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          You're going to have to learn to talk about something else.&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          The trick to not talking about the "usual" things is to know
          how to make conversation INTERESTING.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Let me ask you, what are the most INTERESTING topics to humans in
          general?&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Right - drama, violence, scandal, and comedy that is painful to one of
          the parties involved.&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          Here are a few good ideas for conversation that come to mind:&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "So what's with The Osbournes being MTV's #1 show of all time? I
          guess people just can't get enough of dysfunctional family life...
          they have to watch it on TV too."&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          "I'm so bummed that J-Lo and Ben are on the rocks. They were so
          damn cute together. I was hoping that they'd have a daughter with
          perfect hair and a bedonka donk butt from birth."&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          "Have you tuned into this "Cheaters" TV show? Don't you
          just love it when they come storming into someone's house and catch
          the wife in bed with another guy on national TV?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          These topics will light up a conversation like nobody's business. And
          they create all kinds of opportunities to be cocky and funny while
          talking about the misfortunes and neurotic behavior of others.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          The trick is that you must remember you're not there to impress her,
          and you're not on a job interview.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          The more you act nervous, stilted, and uncomfortable...like you're
          trying to impress her and get her approval... and like you don't want
          to say anything that might make her disapprove of you, the less likely
          you are to trigger that all- important ATTRACTION inside of her.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          And here's a real twist on this theme:&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          If SHE starts asking the "normal" questions about school,
          job, family, etc. this is a perfect opportunity to bust on her and say
          "What, is this a job interview?"&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          Or "Can't you think of something interesting to talk about?
          Please, spare me the pain of the usual school-job-family conversation.
          Let's save that until we're picking names for our kids."&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Here are a few other good ideas for conversation:&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          1) History. Women love to hear stories about the history of places. If
          you're in an interesting part of town, tell her the story of how the
          area came to be named, or why the city was built where it is. And if
          the story involves a tale of love and/or scandal, all the better.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          2) Anything superficial, classy, and basically meaningless. Try
          learning a little about fashion, this way you can make fun of it while
          acting like you know what you're talking about. "Didn't Madonna
          really screw up the fashion world with this whole over-the-top fake
          cowboy look thing?"&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          3) Comedy Psychological Analysis. Have fun by giving your wild
          perspective on others. "You know, I've been trying to figure out
          why so many people these days are going postal and shooting everyone.
          I think it might be all the NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Backstreet Boys
          on the radio." This one can be a lot of fun... be creative.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Do you see where I'm going with this?&lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          If you want to keep her interest, then you have to be INTERESTING.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          The old-fashioned act-like-you're-on-a-job interview rap just doesn't
          cut it.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Now, for some guys, the ideas that I've just talked about will make
          sense, but they won't come naturally.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          That's OK. You may have to work on this for awhile, especially if
          you've spent the last 25 or so years doing the wrong thing.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Old Proverb: "No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone,
          TURN BACK."&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          So remember, attraction isn't a choice. And attraction doesn't make
          logical sense. If you want to create that magical
          "chemistry", then you're going to have to LEARN and PRACTICE
          it.&lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          ...and if you'd like to learn DOZENS of great ideas on how to meet,
          attract, date, and get physical with women, I recommend that you

          &lt;br>
          Hey Dave,  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Just wanted to drop you a line on how my personal  story has been
          going since I started doing things  "your way".  I
          have checked every "girl strategy"  out there, you know
          the ones, and have to say that  your system is the most simple,
          and most effective  one out there.  Your system gives men
          the start,  and allows them to put their own personal touches
           on it.  Then, after some success, (and some  failures,
          of course, he he) we can come back and  get even more out of it.
          Awesome, man.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I'm 27, and have tried your way starting 2 years  ago.  It
          took me a long time to get "it", but the  journey has
          been incredible. My friends can't  believe the change in me, and
          I am now helping  friends who I once thought were so much better
           than me.  My relationships with women are so much  more
          fulfilling now than they ever were when I was  just trying to
          "get laid".  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I think the one fundamental issue you push, which  is so
          overlooked, is the idea that a man can be  absolutely honest,
          know what he wants, and get it.  There are no tricks here, this
          is about being  absolutely true to yourself. That is what
          attracts  women to us, our unfaltering honesty, even when we
           are afraid that that honesty will push them away.   The
          exact opposite is true.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Buying dinner, flowers, kissing ass, all of that  crap is, at its
          core element, dishonest.  Being  cocky and funny, being true
          to yourself, and  acting like a man, is, at core element, totally
           honest.  I think women really appreciate that, and  I
          think it turns them on in a way that even they  don't understand.
          I am really starting to get this,  and it gets better every day. 
            &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Please put out more products, we want them, and  have no problem
          paying a reasonable price for this  information.  My several
          different girl "friends"   each hotter than the
          next, appreciate this as well. My life has never been so good. 
          Thanks for making  it that way, I owe you way more than the price
          of  your products, of which I have purchased all.  God
           bless you man, you rock.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          Yea, it really is amazing that there is a way to have success with
          women... while still being an honest, straight-shooting guy.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Whodathunkit, huh? &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
           A few more comments...  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Yes, I know how frustrating it is to go searching for good information
          on how to be more successful with women and dating... only to find
          half-baked ideas from people who have no clue what they're doing.
           &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          And you're observation that buying women gifts, food, and flower is,
          at its core, DISHONEST is pretty interesting, too.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Most of the guys who look at my stuff and say "I don't like your
          ideas because I don't like to MANIPULATE women" will turn right
          around and have no problem buying a woman dinner in hopes that she'll
          sleep with them.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Go figure.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Well congrats on sticking with it and getting this part of your life
          handled. It feels good, and I have a lot of respect for guys who take
          the initiative to go DO SOMETHING.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Thanks for your email. &lt;br>

          ***SUCCESS STORY***  &lt;br>
          &lt;/b>
          &lt;br>
          Here's one for the history books: David DeAngelo,  the Man who
          made Dating Scientific.   &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          It's amazing how turned off women are by eager  guys working hard
          to impress, and how much they  love the composed bad boys who
          refuse to kiss ass.  At a party I overheard a nearby conversation
          where  a guy was talking to a hot girl, basically kissing  up
          to her with the infinitely boring "yeah, I see  what you
          mean" and "I really identify with that"  type
          responses. I just sat there with a kind of  crooked half-smile,
          and in a minute the girl  started talking to me. I used one of
          your best  rules, Never Give a Woman a Direct Answer Unless
           it's No. Before long, this girl was telling me I  acted
          like a "stone cold psycho" who could "bury  somebody
          in a field somewhere and never think  twice". Next thing I
          know she's handing me her  number. Now I have no interest at all
          in killing  people, but it cracks me up that this chick jokes
           about me being a psycho and then wants to go out.  &lt;br>

          &lt;br>
          Hey, I never said that women make sense.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          lol...  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          You know, several serial killers have all kinds of female
          "worshippers".  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          And have you ever noticed how when some crazy dude escapes from jail,
          they always find him shackin' up with his old girlfriend?  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Now, fortunately it's not necessary to be a serial killer or felon to
          attract women (but it doesn't seem to hurt if you are).  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Women DEFINITELY don't feel that powerful "Gut Level
          Attraction" for "nice, sweet, needy guys".  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          ATTRACTION is a process that has developed over a LOOOOOOONG time.
          It's not something that women think about and "work up to".
          It's not something that women PLAN.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          ATTRACTION happens for reasons all its own, and you can't CONVINCE a
          woman to feel it.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          You've obviously found success using these "illogical"
          techniques that I teach. Good for you, and keep it up.  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;/p>

          ***COMMENT***  &lt;/b>&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Hi  I ordered your double dating series and read  through it
          this weekend...  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          After reading the material it struck me that this  just isn't
          related to attracting the opposite sex.. it relates to
          "everything"....like my career, how  other men respect
          me, etc, etc..  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Their is only one thing I really want first and  that is self
          respect, and after that have the guts  to be tough, honest, funny
          and take a chance..  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I have been angry with woman for a long time (and  I don't mean
          in violent way) but more like afraid  to go out with them, or
          blaming them for not being  interested in me....  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          Its been more like confusion about what do they want,, (and then I
          don't understand) which ends up  in anger,, and then the cycle
          continues.... I want  this war to stop with myself. (because its
          me  being angry with myself).  &lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          I listen to men's pain all the time…and its this  confusion
          (that men don't understand what woman  want), and also poor self
          esteem.. so they settle  for less and end up being bossed around
          and poorly  treated.......  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">which ends up as men exploding
          with anger.........  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">I want all men to have their
          manhood back (and I  mean in a good way) treat woman well and
          bust them  when they push our buttons..  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">I think I may start having some
          fun too!!!!   &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>

          is constantly treating her poorly.  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">You sit and listen for an hour,

          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">At the end of the conversation,
          she stands up, says "Thanks for being such a GREAT FRIEND",
          and kisses you on the cheek.  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>
          &lt;br>
          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">A week later, she's crying
          because her jerk BF is at it again.  &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">&lt;br>

          &lt;/font>&lt;font size="2" face="Georgia">It's not too hard to get mad at

          basically broke up with me or never got together with me in the first

          quite sometime  now and never did buy the book but after this
           weekend I have to get the whole nine yards.  You  have
          said not to be needy and to treat the women  like little sister
          brats.  Believe you me it works  amazingly.  I am
          engaged to a 9 and lately things  seemed to get a little boring. 
          My girlfriend  started acting a little distant so I thought why
           not.  I didn't tell her I loved her as quickly and  quit
          going for a little kiss when the feeling took  hold.  In
          other words I took two steps forward and  one step back. 
          She looked at me kinda funny a  couple of times and then just
          jumped my bones  right on the couch in the middle of the day when
           we were expecting friends over for a bar-b-que.  I  kept
          the cocky and funny up all night and through  the rest of the
          weekend.  By Sunday night things  were going just as hot as
          when we first met.  Your  material kept a fire from dying
          into ashes.  Hope  your printing doesn't run out before my

           in the house, yadda yadda (The .2 pet is just a  pitiful
          thing, hobbling around on two legs ...)  Kidding. Anyway, I read
          in an earlier email that  your ideas and methods work even in a
          marriage  relationship, and that you can still build  attraction
          even with someone you've been with  forever.  Now, if what I
          am reading is correct,  your core concept of attraction has to do
          with  mystery and anticipation, rather than chivalry and  "niceness." 
          Now, this lady has seen me with my  pants down around my ankles
          with a fly swatter and  a jar of peanut butter (figuratively
          speaking);  how can I build anticipation and mystery when she
           knows me so well?  If I try the three minute kiss  test
          thing, she gonna slap my hand and say "Stop  playing with my
          hair; I just had it colored!  Go  take out the garbage!

      <title>What Women HATE Most About Single Guys</title>
      <description>

&lt;p align=left>&lt;font color="#cc0000" size="6" face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif">&lt;b>What 
Women HATE Most About Single Guys&lt;/b>&lt;/font> &lt;/p>
&lt;table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=1 border=2 align="right">&lt;tr>&lt;td>&lt;a href="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/z/89/CD13/">&lt;img src="http://affiliates.hottopicmedia.com/42/13/89" height="150" width="111 alt="Double Your Dating" border="0">&lt;/a>&lt;br>Double Your Dating&lt;br>Free for 7 Days&lt;br>Click the Book Cover Above&lt;/td>&lt;/tr>&lt;/table>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif">&lt;i>&lt;b>By David DeAngelo&lt;/b>&lt;/i>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> If you listen 
to a group of attractive, single women talking alone over dinner or drinks, the 
topic will always turn to MEN.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And in most cases, it will eventually turn into a RANT session about how hard 
it is to find good men to date...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Which will lead to a FULL-ON RAG SESSION about men in general...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
...And wind up with a detailed list of all the traits guys have that are ANNOYING 
AS HELL.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The reality is that single women have an entire laundry list of traits, qualities, and characteristics that they HATE in single guys.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did you know this?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I didn't think so.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well, the truth is that up until a few years ago, I didn't know this either.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So take heart in the idea that you're about to learn something that most men on 
this planet will DIE not knowing.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
My hope is that what I'm about to share with you will change how you interact 
with women FOREVER... and help you meet and date more of the kinds of women you're interested in.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Onward.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
FRIENDSHIPS AND ROMANCE&lt;br>
&lt;br>
For women, friendships and romantic relationships are two separate things. They 
are NOT the same.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One can lead to another, but it's RARE when it happens.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Remember that.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One CAN lead to another, but it's RARE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
"Romantic" relationships are very different from "friend" relationships.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
While most men would sleep with most of their female "friends" if the woman "came 
on" to them, most women would NOT sleep with most men that they consider "just 
friends".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But why is this?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
How do women differentiate between "just friends" and "I'll be intimate with you"?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And why is it so hard to become "more than friends" with a woman you've been "just 
friends" with for a long time?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The answer to this riddle is very interesting to me.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I believe that the answer comes down to understanding HOW women "know" when they 
want to "be intimate" with a man... and, even MORE&lt;br>
importantly, understanding how women "know" when they DON'T want to "be intimate" 
with a man...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The thing that tells a woman whether the guy she's with is "friend" material or 
"lover" material is how she FEELS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's a combination of EMOTIONAL feelings and PHYSICAL feelings.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It is NOT logic.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She might USE logic to "rationalize" her decision... or she might USE logic to 
SOUND like she has a good reason for either "being with" or&lt;br>
"not being with" a particular guy. &lt;br>
&lt;br>
But don't let that distract you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Logic isn't important AT ALL in this context.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So let me say this another way.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
A woman FEELS something emotionally and/or physically, then she uses those FEELINGS 
as the basis for her "decisions" and actions with a&lt;br>
particular guy.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If she feels that "Ewwww Yuck!" feeling, then her "logical" conclusion will probably 
not be that she wants to date the guy in question.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If she feels that "It's Gettin' Hot In Here" feeling, then her "logical" conclusion 
will probably be that this guy is interesting and attractive, and a good "choice" 
to date. At this point she'll take ACTION on her feelings and thoughts...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It goes like this:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
FEEL--->THINK--->ACT&lt;br>
&lt;br>
First the FEELING, then the THOUGHT... and THEN the action.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now, with this in mind, let me ask you an important question:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
How do most guys behave around women that they're "romantically" interested in?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And another:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
What do they do to get the woman that's the object of their desires to be with 
them?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Take a few minutes to think about this. Make a list if you have paper and pen 
handy.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'm serious. I'll wait.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Come back when you're finished.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now take a look at your list.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'll bet that almost every single thing on your list was something "external".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, your list probably contains things like "Take her to dinner" and 
"Give her compliments" and "Buy her flowers" and "Call&lt;br>
her often".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
These are all things that demonstrate that he's INTERESTED.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
They are NOT things that trigger those emotional and physical feelings inside 
of a woman that tell her that THIS IS THE GUY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, men try to use "props" to LET A WOMAN KNOW HE'S INTERESTED...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
...HOPING that when the woman sees these displays she'll be interested in him.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Almost NONE of the things men do to court women make women FEEL ANYTHING even 
remotely similar to "Attraction" and "Arousal".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Of course, you know this.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You've probably done this stuff about a bazillion times. I have, too. I know what 
it's like to try OVER AND OVER to let a particular woman know that I'm interested... 
only to have her NOT RESPOND in a "romantic" way.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The PROBLEM with this kind of thing is that it makes TWO HUGE MISTAKES at once.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
First, it's just the plain-old wrong way to go. Telling or showing a woman that 
you "like her" has no effect on how she feels about YOU.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In the moment it sure seems to make sense... "If I show her how I feel, she'll 
return the feelings".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Duh.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Like I said, it seems like the right thing to do in the moment (when your inner 
little girl has a big fat crush). But it's not... it will have NO effect on her 
feelings for you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And second, it communicates clearly that YOU DON'T GET IT. It tips a woman off 
INSTANTLY that you're not hip to what's going... and it&lt;br>
kills your chances with her. &lt;br>
&lt;br>
Say what?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You mean that doing nice things for women, and trying to show how you feel can 
actually HURT your chances with a woman?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Yea, it can.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Look, if you've been dating a woman exclusively for six months, and her birthday 
comes... it's OK to buy her a gift and tell her that you like spending time with 
her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
YOU'RE ALREADY IN A RELATIONSHIP.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But if you've known a woman for six DAYS and you try this kind of thing, you're 
going to shoot yourself in the foot.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women are EXPERTS at recognizing men who DON'T GET IT. And if you DON'T get it, 
PLUS you're trying to compensate for the fact that&lt;br>
you don't get it with gifts and compliments, then you're REALLY screwed (or not 
screwed, as the case may be).&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Remember what I'm about to tell you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Burn it into your mind.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Write it on a sticky-note and put it on your computer monitor...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
SINGLE, ATTRACTIVE WOMEN WATCH MEN TRY TO WIN THEM OVER ALL DAY LONG. THEY KNOW 
WHEN A GUY DOESN'T "GET IT"... AND&lt;br>
THEY'RE ANNOYED WHEN A GUY WHO DOESN'T "GET IT" JUST KEEPS TRYING AND TRYING AND 
TRYING.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Keep in mind that single, attractive women watch guys do this stuff 24/7. They 
shake their pretty heads and say "He doesn't get it... He doesn't get it... He 
doesn't get it" over and over and over.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The point is that if you DON'T GET IT, then nothing you do is going to work for 
you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The problem is bigger than you can imagine, and you're going to need to take a 
totally different road to get where you're going...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
WHAT ATTRACTIVE WOMEN HATE MOST ABOUT SINGLE GUYS...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Let's return to where we started.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
There are a few particular things that REALLY annoy single, attractive women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One of the reasons that these things annoy women is because they're DEAL KILLERS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
A woman can like everything about you, but if you do these things (or even ONE 
of these things), it can DESTROY your chances of success with a particular woman.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Here are a few of the BIG things that single women hate:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>1) Giving Up Your Status In Exchange For Her Attention And Approval&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If I had to describe the one single thing that both annoys women and DESTROYS 
a guy's chances, it would be this.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It has taken me a long time to see this particular pattern, but it's EVERYWHERE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Men, in effect, say "Hi, I want your approval and attention. I'm willing to let 
YOU be the one who's in control... and let YOU call the shots... and do anything 
to please YOU... if you'll give me your attention and&lt;br>
approval".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But the problem is that women DON'T WANT you to give up your status and "manliness".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women aren't ATTRACTED to men who act weak and tentative.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women secretly HATE IT when a guy does something to demonstrate that he'll give 
away his power in return for approval.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
THEY HATE IT!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I could literally write an entire book on this one single concept.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Take a few minutes to think this one over, and maybe write down the ways that 
you make this mistake with women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
More importantly, think about how you're going to STOP DOING IT IMMEDIATELY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>2) Being Needy, Clingy, And Insecure&lt;br>
&lt;/b>&lt;br>
When one person "clings" to another person "psychologically", the person who is 
being "clinged to" RESENTS and REJECTS the needy,&lt;br>
clingy emotional parasite...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This is WUSS behavior at its worst.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If a guy is on the phone with a girl he just met, and she says "Hey, I have to 
go", he might say "Aw, well... um... OK. Um, will you call me when you get home?".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Or let's say a guy and a girl are out on their first date, and they're walking 
around in a large department store.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Most guys will follow the woman everywhere, and not leave her side for a minute.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If she wanders away, he'll come find her IMMEDIATELY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He'll stay physically close to her, as if he's afraid she'll leave without him.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And an even worse example is a guy who is so emotionally insecure that he actually 
ASKS a woman to tell him that he's nice, fun, interesting, etc.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
"Do you think I'm interesting?"&lt;br>
&lt;br>
"Do you think we could ever have a relationship?"&lt;br>
&lt;br>
"Am I your type?"&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women HATE this stuff. It makes them shiver with the heebie-jeebies. It makes 
them want to RUN AWAY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>3) Not Leading - And Even Worse, Trying To Get Her To Lead&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women have WUSS-DAR.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One of the things that triggers a woman's WUSS-DAR is a man who FOLLOWS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The REAL problem is that most women won't try to LEAD naturally.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So you've got a situation where a man is trying to FOLLOW a woman who isn't LEADING.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He's looking for little cues so he knows where to go and what to do... but he 
isn't getting them.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So what does he do?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He ASKS for them!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He says "So, I was thinking of maybe taking you to Olive Garden for dinner... 
how does that sound?".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Everything about the way he asks says to the woman "I'm trying to figure out what 
you want me to do... please help me know how you want me to act, where you want 
me to take you, and what you want me to say".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This is ATTRACTION DEATH!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
men who don't lead, and even worse, try to get a woman to lead, ANNOY THE HELL 
OUT OF SINGLE WOMEN.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
They HATE IT!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>4) Using Insecure, Approval-Seeking, Low-Status Posture, Gestures, Voice Tone, 
And Body Language&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
There's a term that single, attractive, in-demand women use to describe men who 
use weak, approval-seeking posture, gestures,&lt;br>
comments, and mannerisms...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The term is "NICE".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
"He's nice... but... there's no chemistry."&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This is one of those areas that's not easy to talk about.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Since SO DAMN MANY GUYS do this stuff, it's almost impossible to explain.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's like trying to tell a fish that they're not going to get anywhere in life&lt;br>
if they stay wet.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The fish doesn't even KNOW it's wet in the first place.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But let me try.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This is important.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Go spend a day observing couples.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Go places where couples that have just met spend time together.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Bars, clubs, coffee shops, whatever.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now watch the GUYS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Watch how they lean towards the women. &lt;br>
&lt;br>
Watch how they raise their eyebrows in &lt;/font>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> 
exaggerated response to women's comments.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Watch how they slump over, let their shoulders fall forward, and smile fake-ly 
at whatever the women say.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you're close enough, listen to how men ask questions and make comments with 
a voice tone that says "I'm insecure and I'm trying&lt;br>
to be extra nice to compensate for it".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You'll see it EVERYWHERE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In fact, you'll see it so much that you'll probably write me back to tell me that 
I'm the one who's crazy, and that since it happens so much, it must be "the right 
way".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well, it's not.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If there's one thing that triggers an attractive single woman's WUSS-DAR, it's 
a man's posture, gestures, eye contact, voice tone, etc.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It all happens in an INSTANT.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women read this stuff and interpret it as instantly and accurately as you read 
and interpret the cover of Playboy.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
NO ANALYSIS NECESSARY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'd say that probably 90% of all men alive today INSTANTLY disqualify themselves 
with women because of this problem.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Their voice tone, gestures, posture, etc. TELEGRAPH the message that they're a 
WUSS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
They do a thousand weird little things to let a woman know that they're uncomfortable 
and "not being themselves".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And you guessed it...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Single women HATE IT!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>5) Not Understanding That She's A Woman And You're A Man&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'm about to get philosophical on your ass, so be cool. &lt;br>
&lt;br>
When it comes down to it, most men don't understand women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But the REAL kicker is that most men don't understand MEN, either!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Most guys don't know what it's like to get in touch with their MALE NATURE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Combine these two issues, and you get a guy who behaves in ways that DO NOT trigger 
ATTRACTION in women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women have a "nature". A female nature.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Men also have a "nature". You guessed it, it's a MALE nature.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women are coy. They like to play hard to get. They like to enjoy the chase. They 
love anticipation. They love to "let a guy catch them"...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Men are competitive. Men are dominant. Men like to play rough games, win things, 
and rule their territory.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well guess what?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Most men don't BEHAVE like men when they're in the presence of a woman that they 
"like".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And since most men don't understand female human nature, they don't demonstrate 
that they "get it" when they're with women that they "like".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women like men. Men like women. There are POWERFUL causes at play here.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
When you're around a woman you like, don't act like a GIRLY-MAN. It's not sexy, 
and it's not attractive...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And single women HATE IT!&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>6) Not Being Interesting To Be Around&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Underneath most behavior that I see most guys acting out is a "core belief" that 
goes like this: &lt;br>
&lt;br>
"I don't believe that an attractive woman would want to be around me just because 
she enjoys my presence... so I make up for it by saying and doing certain things 
that I hope she'll enjoy... and if she enjoys those&lt;br>
other things enough, then maybe she'll want to spend more time with me."&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Heavy, man.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well guess what? Most attractive single women KNOW that if a guy isn't interesting 
to be around, they she's eventually going to go CRAZY being around him.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, no amount of material gifts, compliments, dinners, and other "displays" 
will EVER compensate for a lack of BEING INTERESTING.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Here's a profound thought:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I and several other guys I know have many women who call us often... just because 
they enjoy being around us.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
These women would be happy just to be in the same room with us... and enjoy our 
company.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And yes, these women CALL US.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Often.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Material gifts, food, flowers, and other "displays" have ZERO lasting value to 
a woman when it comes to how she FEELS about you...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
An attractive single woman wants a guy who LIGHTS HER UP. She wants to FEEL GOOD.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She wants mystery... she wants to laugh... she wants a challenge... she wants 
sexual tension...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you're using compliments, gifts, food, and other "displays" to get a woman's 
attention... you need to ask yourself a tough question:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Is it because you don't believe that a woman would want to be around you just 
to be around you?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Because if you don't know how to be INTERESTING to a woman, then no amount of 
compensation is going to fix the problem.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you're boring, predictable, and uninteresting, then you're never going to have 
women calling YOU to hang out.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Oh, and women HATE IT.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>7) Not Understanding Attraction&lt;/b>&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This is a BIGGIE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You hear me talking about it all the time, right?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Maybe now that you've read this newsletter you'll have a better context to understand 
what I'm about to tell you...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you "get it" with women, it's SUPER INTERESTING and ATTRACTIVE to them.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women can INSTANTLY FEEL IT when they're with a guy who "gets it".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women know very quickly if they're talking to a guy who understands himself and 
women... and who enjoys creating and building sexual tension.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Women know if a guy speaks the SECRET LANGUAGE of "Sexual Communication". &lt;br>
&lt;br>
If he doesn't, then she stops all communication on that level.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If he does, then it continues.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
ATTRACTION Isn't A Choice.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Attraction is an emotional and physical RESPONSE... and you can't "convince" a 
woman to feel it with logic, gifts, and NICENESS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Attraction is the result of a woman meeting a man who understands how attraction 
works... and who knows what to do in each specific&lt;br>
situation to progress to the next level.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The PROBLEM with ATTRACTION, and with success with women in general is that the 
things you need to DO to be successful are NOT&lt;br>
OBVIOUS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
They're "counter intuitive", in many cases.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, they're the OPPOSITE of what you'd THINK would make sense.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You have to do things like CREATE TENSION... stop doing something that she likes... 
give her time to miss you... etc.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And if you don't understand ATTRACTION, a woman is going to KNOW IT.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And guess what?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Single women HATE IT when a man doesn't understand ATTRACTION and how to communicate 
on this "other level".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now that I've shared the mistakes, you need the next piece of the puzzle. You 
need to get an education on how attraction works for women... and the RIGHT things 
to do up front to give her those emotional/physical feelings inside.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Right now you're probably feeling that excited "Ah Ha!" feeling. &lt;br>
&lt;br>
That's because you understand something at a different level... you've used your 
mind to understand something complex... and you feel good about bettering yourself.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well this is just the TIP of the iceberg.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
As educational as this has been, this is only the beginning.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you're starting to realize how important it is to get this area of your life 
handled, then I recommend you make a commitment and take your education to a WORLD 
CLASS level.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And what's the best way to do that?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well, I've spent the last several years of my life figuring out exactly what does 
and doesn't work with women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I figured this stuff out for MYSELF... and then I took what I've learned and put 
it all together to help others learn as well.&lt;br>
&lt;br>

getting to know guys who were successful with women, and generally organizing 
every level of this knowledge into an easy-to-understand system that ANY guy can

&lt;p>&lt;i>&lt;b>By David DeAngelo&lt;/b>&lt;/i>&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p>&lt;font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"> I'd like to tell you a story...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's a story that you might find strangely familiar. Don't be alarmed.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Once upon a time, there was a man who was very attracted to a particular woman.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
At first, she was just another attractive woman... but the more he got to know her, the more he began to feel attracted to her... and the more time he spent with her, the more that&lt;br>
attraction grew into a deep emotional attachment and affection for her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But there was one problem.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
As his emotional attachment grew stronger and stronger, he also grew more and more insecure.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Why?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Because he couldn't tell whether or not she felt the same way towards him.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Sometimes she would say things like "You are so important to me" and "I'm glad that you're in my life"... but nothing ever progressed past the "friendship" stage.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
There was an occasional hug, an occasional kiss on the cheek from her... and once she even held his hand for a long time while he talked about an emotional issue.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But something was wrong with the picture.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She just wasn't acting like a woman that was "falling in love". She was acting like a friend.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The insecurity that he felt became a spiral that amplified itself... and the more insecure he became, the more afraid he grew of "screwing things up" by kissing her or asking her to be his girlfriend.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Plus, the more insecure he became, the less time she seemed to want to spend with him.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
After spending many days and nights obsessing over this girl, the man finally arrived at the conclusion that if she only knew how HE FELT, that she would feel the same way.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So he made a bold move.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He TOLD HER how he was felt.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He confessed that he was in love, and that he would do anything to be with her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and said "Thank you... I really mean that... but I don't want to mess up our friendship... you're too important to me...".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
This only confused the man more.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He didn't know how to take it...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did it mean that she really loved him too, but that she was afraid of something?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did it mean that she wasn't ready for a long- term relationship?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did it mean that she didn't love him, but that she was trying to give him a hint?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did it mean that he hadn't tried hard enough?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Did it mean that he needed to put everything on the line and REALLY let her know how he felt?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He finally decided that he couldn't go on like this anymore... he had to be with her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He had to make sure that she knew just how much he wanted to be with her... so he took a big step, bought her a symbolic gift, and wrote her a long, long letter... again confessing his feelings.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And then the unthinkable happened.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She didn't reply.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
He called her three times a day for almost a week before reaching her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She made an excuse about being very busy, and said "I'll try to give you a call soon, I have to go"... and hung up...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
...but he never got a call back.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Over the following months, the man tried desperately to understand what went wrong... and what happened.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
THE END&lt;br>
&lt;br>
OK, I'm back.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now, wasn't that a sweet story?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Heart warming, huh?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I know, I should keep my day job, and not take up writing romance novels...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Now, let's talk about that story.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
That story is basically a MYTH.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And I'm not talking about FICTION here.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'm talking about a story that rings true for a great majority of men. A story that is timeless. A story that resonates at a deep level because you can IDENTIFY with it.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And why does this particular story resonate for most men?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Because we've all been there in one way or another... at one time or another... and many of us have been there OFTEN in our lives.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Another thing that gives this particular story a lot of power is the powerful negative emotions that it stirs... as a result of the powerful negative experiences that it reminds us of...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Stories and situations like this one really FASCINATE me.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
They fascinate me because I see them as an opportunity to UNDERSTAND and SOLVE the puzzles that they represent.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In this particular situation I think there is a solution.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And it lies in understanding a secret that women know but MEN DON'T.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And that secret comes down to the reality thatm if a woman isn't ATTRACTED to a man, all of his attempts to confess his love, convince her to like him, and court her BACKFIRE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, they not only DON'T WORK, they actually make things WORSE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In other words, the very things that a man does to try to make a woman LIKE HIM make her NOT like him. They make her run.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
All those great intentions and emotional dedication actual cause the man feeling them to do things that make her go away.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It sucks.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And I hope that by explaining the process of how this happens to you I'll help you avoid this painful situation in your own future...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
THE "INSTANT EWWW"&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'm always fascinated by the idea that we humans don't always understand the message that we're communicating to others...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So often we think that because we WANT to communicate a message that others are going to NATURALLY understand what we're trying to say.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Have you ever seen a guy in a foreign car that has wheels on it that cost more than the car itself... with his stereo blasting... and a muffler that somehow AMPLIFIES the raw sound of the 4-cylinder motor...?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Have you ever thought to yourself "I don't think that car is communicating the message to women that he thinks it is"...?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Yea, I have too.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well here's the deal:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you do something to "let a woman know how you feel"... but she isn't ATTRACTED to you, then it's going to backfire.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's going to trigger a feeling that like to call the "Instant Ewww".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The Instant Ewww is just as powerful as the physical and emotional response of ATTRACTION.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Once a woman feels it, YOU'RE DONE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's over.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's like hammering a RAILROAD SPIKE into the coffin.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Once a woman feels the Instant Ewww, she will start behaving differently.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In short, she'll disappear.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So where did I get the concept of the "Instant Ewww"?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I got it from WOMEN.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I have actually heard SEVERAL women use the word "Ewww" when describing how they felt about a guy that was "confessing his love"... of course, these were guys that weren't loved in return.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
So what causes the Instant Ewww?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And why would a woman feel it towards a man who was trying to be nice... a guy who was giving her a gift or telling her how he feels?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Because if you think about it from HER perspective, you'll realize that the moment a you do something to "confess", you have created a TURNING POINT in the relationship.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Up until that point, you were harmless.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I mean, women always know how men feel.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She already knew you wanted her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She knew it from the beginning.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But now that you've started pursuing her and talking about how you feel, you've created a NEGATIVE TENSION that is VERY uncomfortable.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You've triggered an emotion that is repulsive to women. And it does repel them.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In summary...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You can't "make a woman like you" or "change how she feels about you" by doing nice things for her...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Doing "nice" things for a woman who isn't attracted to you HURTS you. It backfires. Worse, it creates the "Instant Ewww" feeling that makes it so she'll NEVER like you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Men make this mistake over and over again in life because they're doing what MAKES SENSE to them. They're doing it because they don't have an understanding of ATTRACTION.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I mean, If you have a friend, and you like them, and you want to make them like you more... and you do some nice thing for them, they will probably like you more.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
On the other hand...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you have a woman that you "like" in a romantic way, and she doesn't "feel it" for you, and you 
do something nice for her because you want HER to like you more, it will BACKFIRE... and she will 
not only NOT like you more, she will most likely distance herself from you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Guys think that they need to communicate when they like a woman... as if that's part of the necessary process of getting a girl.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In their minds, it goes like this:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Like her>Tell her you like her>She likes you&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Well remember... if you follow this pattern yourself with women who aren't ATTRACTED to you, then it's going to BACKFIRE.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If she's not into you, then it goes like THIS:&lt;br>
&lt;br>
She thinks of you as a friend>You tell her you like her>She gets the "Instant Ewwws" and never wants to be around you again...
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
THE ANSWER&lt;br>
&lt;br>
There are really TWO answers to this problem.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The first answer is what to do if you're in a situation where you like a particular girl, but you don't know if she likes you back.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
DON'T GET HEAVY WITH HER.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Don't buy her a big gift and write a love&lt;br>
letter...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Don't send her ten dozen roses to her work with a not that says "From your secret admirer".&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Don't call her three times a day.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And DON'T CONFESS YOUR LOVE for her.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
If you want to know how she feels about you, KISS HER (and use "The Kiss Test" that you learned on my website and in my book).&lt;br>
&lt;br>
As a rule of thumb, don't get heavier than HER. Use SIGNALS from her to find out how she feels... and if you don't know how to read and create those signals, then LEARN.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Asking a woman if she's interested in your in a romantic way, or if you are "her type" will actually DESTROY the chances that she'll like&lt;br>
you.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
Really.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The SECOND answer is to not get into this particular situation in the FIRST PLACE. Avoid it entirely.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And how does one do that?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One does that by creating ATTRACTION from the beginning.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One does that by understanding the dynamics of how and why women have the physical and emotional response of ATTRACTION triggered.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
One does that by knowing what you're doing FROM THE BEGINNING.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And what's the best way to learn THAT skill?&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I thought you'd never ask...&lt;br>
&lt;br>
The very best way to learn how to make women feel ATTRACTION for you is to get yourself a copy of my eBook, Double Your Dating.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I've spent several years now studying the ways that men who are "naturals" communicate using their words, voice tone, and body language that makes them MAGNETIC to women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And I'll tell you... it's not magic.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
You don't have to be rich, handsome, or young.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And you don't have to be LUCKY.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
What you DO have to do is LEARN.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
It's a skill, and I honestly believe that ANY man can learn it if he wants.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
But you're not likely to figure it out by "trial and error". Many of the keys to making women feel ATTRACTION aren't "obvious" at all.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
In fact, many of them make no sense... and they're the LAST thing you'd do in a particular situation if you didn't know the SECRETS.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
I'm telling you, this book will show you the way. I guarantee that this program will INSTANTLY change how you behave around women.&lt;br>
&lt;br>
And it will start getting you results IMMEDIATELY.&lt;br>

&lt;i>And What To Do About It...&lt;/i>”&lt;/font>&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/font>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>

Are The Top Ten Reasons Why Men Fail With Women—And How To Make Sure YOU Avoid 
Every One Of These Deadly Common Mistakes...&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>

&lt;p align=center>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#1: Being&lt;br>
Too Much Of A “Nice Guy”&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p align=left>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> Have 
you ever noticed that the really attractive women never seem to be attracted "nice" 
guys?&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2>
&lt;p> Of course you have.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Just like me, I'm sure you've had attractive female friends that always seemed 
to date "jerks"... but for some reason they were never romantically interested 
in YOU.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> What's going on here?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> It's actually very simple...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Women don't base their choices of men on how "nice" a guy is. They choose 
the men they do because they feel a powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for them.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And guess what?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Being nice doesn't make a woman FEEL that powerful ATTRACTION.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And being NICE doesn't make a woman CHOOSE you.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I realize that this doesn't make a lot of logical sense, and it's hard to 
ACCEPT... but GET OVER IT.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Until you accept this FACT and begin to act on it, you'll NEVER have the success 
with women that you want.&lt;/p>
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#2: Trying To&lt;br>
“Convince Her To Like You"&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> What do most guys 
do when they meet a woman that they REALLY like... but she's just notinterested?&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2>
&lt;p> Right! They try to "convince" the woman to feel differently.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Well, I have news for you... YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE HOW A WOMAN "FEELS" WHEN 
IT COMES TO ATTRACTION!&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p> Never, ever, EVER.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> You cannot CONVINCE a woman to feel differently about you with "logic and 
reasoning".&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Think about it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> If a woman doesn't "feel it" for you, how in the world do you expect to change 
that FEELING by being "reasonable" with her?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> But we all do it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> When a woman just isn't interested, we beg, plead, chase, and do our best 
to change her mind.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Bad idea. One that will never work.&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#3: Looking To Her&lt;br>
For Approval Or Permission&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> In our desire 
to please women (which we mistakenly think will make them like us), us guys are 
always doing things to get a woman's "approval" or "permission".&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> Another HORRIBLE idea.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Women are NEVER attracted to the types of men who kiss up to them... EVER.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Don't get me wrong here.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> You don't have to treat women BADLY for them to like you.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> But if you think that treating a woman well means "always getting her approval 
and permission for things", think again.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> You will never succeed by looking for approval. Women actually get ANNOYED 
at men who seek their approval.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Doubt me? Just ask any attractive woman if Wussy guys who chase her around 
and want her approval annoy her...&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b> &lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4> 
MISTAKE #4: Trying To “Buy” Her Affection With Food And Gifts&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> How many times 
have you taken a woman out to a nice dinner, bought her gifts and flowers, and 
had her REJECT you for someone who didn't treat her even HALF as well as you did?&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2>
&lt;p> If you're like me, then you've had it happen a LOT.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Well guess what? &lt;/p>
&lt;p> It's only NATURAL when this happens...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> That's right, I said NATURAL.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> When you do these things, you send a clear message:&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;b>"I don't think you'll like me for who I am, so I'm going to try to buy your 
attention and affection". &lt;/b>&lt;/p>
Your good intentions usually come across to women as over-compensation for insecurity, 
and weak attempts at manipulation. That's right, I said that women see this as 
MANIPULATION.
&lt;p>&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#5: Sharing&lt;br>
“How You Feel” Too Early In&lt;br>
The Relationship With Her &lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size=2> Another huge and unfortunate mistake that most 
men make with women is sharing how they "feel" too early on.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size=2> Attractive women are rare.&lt;/font> &lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size=2> And they get a LOT of attention from men.&lt;/font> 
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia"> &lt;font size="2"> Most men don't realize this, but attractive 
women are being approached in one way or another ALL THE&lt;/font>&lt;/font> 
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> An attractive woman is often approached several 
times a DAY by men who are interested. This translate into dozens of times per 
week, and often HUNDREDS of times per month.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia"> &lt;font size="2"> And guess what?&lt;/font>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> Attractive women have usually dated a LOT of 
men.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> That's right. They have EXPERIENCE.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> They know what to expect.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> And one thing that turns an attractive women 
off and sends her running away faster than just about anything is a guy who starts 
saying "You know, I really, REALLY like you" after one or two dates.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> This signals to the woman that you're just like 
all the other guys who fall for her too fast... and can't control themselves.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> Don't do it. Lean back. Relax.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia" size="2"> There's a much better way...&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#6: Not “Getting” How Attraction Works For Women&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> Women are VERY 
different from men when it comes to ATTRACTION.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> When a man sees a beautiful, young, sexy woman, he INSTANTLY feels a sexual 
attraction.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> But does the same apply for women?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Do women feel sexual attraction to men based mostly on looks? Or is something 
else going on?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Well, after studying this topic for over five full years now, I can tell you 
that women usually have their "attraction mechanisms" triggered by things OTHER 
than looks.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Have you ever noticed that you see a lot more average and unattractive men 
with beautiful women than the other way around?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Think about it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Women are more attracted to certain qualities in men... and they're attracted 
to the way a man makes them FEEL than they are to looks alone.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you 
can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction to you that YOU 
feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> But it's not an accident. You have to LEARN how to do this.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And ANY guy can learn how...&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center> &lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=4 color=#cc0000> 
MISTAKE #7: Thinking That It&lt;br>
Takes Money And Looks&lt;/font>&lt;/b> &lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> One of the most 
common mistakes that guys make is giving up before they've even gotten started... 
because they think that attractive women are only interested in men who have looks 
and money... or guys who are a certain height... or guys who are a certain age.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> And sure, there are some women who are only interested in these things.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> But MOST women are far more interested in a man's personality than his wallet 
or his looks.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> There are personality traits that attract women like a magnet...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And if you learn what they are and how to use them, YOU can be one of these 
guys.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> YOU DO NOT have to "settle" for a woman just because you aren't rich, tall, 
or handsome.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Let me say this again: &lt;b>If you know how to use your body language and communication 
correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction 
to you that YOU feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;/font>
&lt;p align=center>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> &lt;/font> 
&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>MISTAKE 
#8: Giving Away&lt;br>
All Of Your Power To Women&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> Earlier I mentioned 
that it's a mistake to look to a woman for approval or permission.&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> Well, another similar tactic that a lot of guys use is GIVING AWAY THEIR POWER 
to women.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Said differently, guys try to get women to like them by doing whatever the 
woman wants.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Another bad idea...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Women are NEVER attracted to men that they can walk all over... &lt;b>Women aren't 
attracted to Wussies!&lt;/b> &lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4> 
MISTAKE #9: Not Knowing&lt;br>
EXACTLY What To Do In Each&lt;br>
Type Of Situation With Women&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> Now I'm going to 
blow your mind...&lt;/font>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> A woman ALWAYS knows what you're thinking.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Women are approximately TEN TIMES better than men at reading body language. 
That's ten TIMES.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I know, it might be hard to believe. But for example, if you're out on a date 
with a woman, and you want to kiss her, she knows it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And if you don't know exactly what to do and exactly HOW to kiss her, and 
you just sit there looking at her and getting nervous, she won't help!&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And this goes for ALL aspects of women and dating...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Approaching a woman, getting her number, asking her out, kissing her, getting 
physical... everything.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> If you don't know what to do in each situation, you will probably screw it 
up... and LOSE EVERYTHING.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> And you KNOW it.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> It is VITALLY important that you know EXACTLY how to go from one step to the 
next with a woman... from the first meeting, all the way to the bedroom.&lt;/p>
&lt;/font> 
&lt;p align=center>&lt;b>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4> 
MISTAKE #10: Not Getting HELP&lt;/font>&lt;/b>&lt;/p>
&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2> 
&lt;p> This is the biggest mistake of all.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> This is the mistake that keeps most men from EVER having the kind of success 
with women that they truly want.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I know, guys don't like to make themselves look weak or helpless. We don't 
like to ask for help.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Hey, I've been there myself.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Let me tell you a little about me and how I figured out how to be successful 
with women...&lt;/p>
&lt;p> About five years ago I became fed up with the fact that I didn't know how 
to approach, meet, and get dates with women that I was attracted to.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> It frustrated the hell out of me.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> One night I was out with a friend, and I saw a woman I wanted to ask out, 
but I just couldn't get up the nerve to do it. I can still remember that night... 
right on the spot I made the decision to do whatever it took to learn how to be 
successful with women and dating.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> Well, after a lot of hard work and trying all kinds of crazy things, I finally 
figured it all out.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I can now approach just about any woman and get her number almost instantly. 
I've dated models, I've dated actresses, and I've dated nice, normal, regular 
girls as well.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> It has been a very rewarding experience. I no longer feel that sick, insecure 
feeling... like I don't know how to meet women... and I might wind up alone.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I know that anytime, anywhere, I can go out and meet attractive women.&lt;/p>
&lt;p> I've written a book on the topic, and I've done seminars on both coasts of 
the United States... and taught tens of thousands of men all around the world.&lt;/p>
&lt;/font>
&lt;p align=center>&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#cc0000 size=4>&lt;b> 
I Now Have A FREE, Three-Times-&lt;br>
A-Week Email Newsletter...&lt;/b>&lt;/font>&lt;/p>

      <title>How to Be a Nice Guy (And Still Get Women)</title>
      <description>
Have you ever heard that old familiar lament:

"Nice Guys Finish Last, Jerks Get Laid?"

At first glance, it would seem that is true. There are a lot of Jerks out there who are able to attract tons and tons of women. And there are a lot of Nice Guys who struggle with getting girls, and feel frustrated.

After all, who wants to have to be a jerk in order to get women?

Here's the thing...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A JERK TO GET WOMEN!

You just have to change a few things you tend to be "nice" about.

For instance:

1.  Social Restrictions

We tend to believe that there are "acceptable" and "unacceptable" things to do around women. And while this is true to some extent, Nice Guys are often wrong about the limits of what is acceptable. Like being sexual around women.  Many Nice Guys believe this is "inappropriate behavior." But that's wrong! Being sexual around a woman is a very powerful way of communicating your interest in her. Little things like flirting and joking about sex can go a long way into making you a potential lover instead of just a potential "friend."

2.  Inability To Act

Too often, "Nice Guys" wait around for the girl to make the first move to initiate romance. This is a DEADLY mistake! Women take their cues from the men they're with. If you want to escalate into a physical relationship, you have to be the one to make the first move. This can be scary.  It's possible to get rejected. But if you don't do it, you won't succeed! Actions speak louder than words, and if you allow yourself to act and go in for a kiss, or not be afraid to touch her, then you communicate all the right things... Things like aggressiveness, confidence, and sexuality -- all things women find irresistibly attractive!

3.  Diarrhea Of The Mouth

Way too many Nice Guys like to talk about boring stuff. They do nothing to captivate the girl. Their stories don't inspire romance or attraction. In short: Nice Guys are neutered! The real trick with women is to be playful! Have fun with them! Crack jokes. Tease them. Have a good time. Show her a little bit of attention instead of focusing on yourself -- but don't take yourself
for granted either! If you just talk, and talk, and talk without knowing what you're saying, you're going to bore the girl you're with. And girls who are bored with you will not be attracted to you.

If you look at the three points above, you can see that the Jerks who get all the women do these things. BUT, Nice guys can do them too, and not have to act like a complete horses ass to do them! You can still be the Nice Guy you've always been, but just change three simple tactics and see a drastic improvement in your success with women.

Here's a recent success story I got from a Nice Guy who followed my advice...

NICE GUY SUCCESS STORY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dude, your stuff works!

I went out last night and took the lead much more. Also, thinking of what you told me, I pressed forward on every sexual innuendo opening that popped up. It is amazing how quickly girls opened up.

I ended up talking to this guy and the two girls with him about hotel porn and the fact that everybody, including women watches it (something I'd never thought I'd talk to women about before). We talked about Michael Ninn and porn with real storylines and started dreaming up 
porn careers for ourselves. Anyway, long story short, when they closed the club we ended up at his place nearby; nice and big with a Japanese garden. We joked around and the girls did stupid 
dances to the indian electronica that was playing and eventually at like four am we paired off.  

I just got back! That is the quickest result I have had yet and it was fun to be so open.  Thanks!

If you want to have really effective successes and turn your luck around, you really need to read my book The Art Of Approaching.

This information is truly LETHAL stuff.

The Nice Guy above emailed me a few times about his problems, and I gave him the EXACT SAME information I just gave you. And look what it got him!

If you don't start applying the strategies in my book, you'll have to be happy with what
you're getting right now. But if you can imagine going out to meet women armed with the "secret weapons" I give you that can help boost your confidence and get beautiful girl after beautiful girl to date you...

      <title>What Women Want in a Relationship</title>
      <description>
I received a rather short, sweet, and intriguing question recently...

A QUESTION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Do women really know what they are looking for in a relationship?
 
--from Chilibean


MY ANSWER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now that's a loaded question if I ever heard one, lol.

Here's the thing...

Different women have different expectations about what they want from a man and a relationship.

For example, a young woman may not know what she wants in a relationship simply because she isn't experienced enough to know what's important to her yet.

A more mature woman, one who's been in a lot of different relationships, may know exactly what she's looking for in a relationship.

But there's one thing all types of women know about before they get into a relationship... They know what they're ATTRACTED to!

See, the female mind processes things in this manner:

1.  Is there something attracting me to this man?

2.  Will this man be a good fit for me in the long term?

Usually, number 1 will kick in almost immediately within the first few minutes of meeting a man.  They'll start evaluating the man's attraction quotient.

Number two won't kick in until number one has been met.

This means that if you can get a woman really turned on, or even in bed, then she'll immediately start evaluating you based on your potential for a long term relationship.

Women who try and do this backwards, by getting into a relationship and hoping the attraction will grow, usually end up disappointed.

When it comes to what women are actually looking for in a relationship, you can expect these factors to come into play:

1.  How well does the man treat her?
2.  What is the level of attraction occurring?
3.  How good is he in bed?
4.  How strong is the emotional connection?
5.  How good of a provider is he?

Let's quickly go through these five female relationship factors...

The first factor can be misleading.  All women want to be treated well, but they don't necessarily want to be treated like goddesses to be fawned over.

(Sure, that's okay from time to time, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing...)

Women want to feel like the man they are with is loving and strong. So if you treat them in a way where they know you care, know they are safe, but know you won't take their bullcrap, they will feel well treated.

The next factor has to do with what we discussed earlier. If they are still feeling sexual attraction towards you, then this factor is met.  But if things have fizzled, this could be a deal breaker.

Most women aren't used to having men who are good in bed. So if you can please her between the sheets, then chances are she'll see you as a "keeper."

If there is a strong emotional connection, a woman will want to be around you. She will feel connected to you and want to please you.  This is a very important factor in any relationship.

Women who don't have a strong emotional connection to the men they are in a relationship with will tend to cheat on them, because they aren't being fulfilled emotionally.

Finally, a man who is a good provider will make a woman feel safe and cared for.

Many women will gravitate towards men who can pay their bills, even if all the other relationship factors are absent.

But this doesn't mean that type of relationship is a happy or stable one (for either party).

Showing a woman you're a good provider is probably the least important factor in a strong relationship, but it is still a factor.

But the first step you need to be aware of before you can even begin to THINK about relationships, is the initial ATTRACTION phase.

And that phase starts with how you MEET her. I personally believe that any man has the potential to attract any woman. If they know what to do.

In my book, The Art Of Approaching, you're going to learn some super-ninja techniques that will lay the foundation for a great relationship.

You'll learn how to plant the initial seeds of attraction that will blossom into a good relationship. Click the book cover below...&lt;br>
