How To Easily Improve Your Style

Posted by Gary On July - 28 - 2009

The better you look, the more confident you will feel. This will help you adopt a more positive attitude about each day if you feel good about what you’re stepping into in the morning. Here are five easy to implement tips on how to improve your style.

1. Heed the advice of the people who really know style. Don’t let your style be influenced by your mom, dad, girl your dating, or wife unless they really know what they’re talking about.  Read the advice of the experts on web sites such as askmen.com, GQmens fashion on about.com then pick and choose what you like so you own it.  The cool thing about doing this is that no matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong (in most cases see #2).

2. Make sure that the new clothes you buy (based on the looks you found in the above websites) that you feel comfortable wearing them and it will still suit your personality. Obviously, just because an anorexic model is wearing something doesn’t mean you should.  You wouldn’t want to look like this guy, common sense still has to apply here. Stick to the classics when in doubt.

3. Style is about more than what you wear. Put the same set of clothes on a guy who is in shape and the same set on a guy who has a rounded back, button busting gut, and a concave chest, no matter how you slice it the guy who is in shape will look better. Getting in shape = better looking clothing fit. Make it yours – roll up the sleeves, use a cool belt, un-do a few buttons, etc.

4. A big part of your style is how you handle yourself and your day to day attitude. It’s not just about your clothing. Do you bitch to your co-workers and friends all day about your personal life frustrations? Or, do you do your job or hang out, and have fun with it? Who do you think will appear as the cooler guy? The one who keeps his head…or the one who loses it every 30 minutes and acts like a little bitch?

5. Get a decent pair of shoes, it is often the first thing a woman looks at to figure out your financial status. Women pay attention to the details! This is the one part of your outfit you don’t want to be cheap with.

Action Plan: Go to linked sites, find one new trendy outfit, buy it, and make it yours.

How To Dismantle Approach Anxiety

When most guys think about approaching a woman they tend to make nervous movements, speak rapidly, freeze up, or explode into a pile of nerves leading to rejection.  Usually, the hotter the girl the higher the nervous factor. There are a few simple and easy ways to dismantle your approach anxiety.

A good way to dismantle this type of thinking is to remember that on the inside whether she’s hot, average, or ugly, fat, skinny, etc we’re all the same anatomically (mostly). Another way to shed some anxiety is to immediately look for her flaws to help you realize she isn’t perfect either. See my previous entry Chop Down The Pedestal for more on this subject.

This will help you deal with being rejected as not every woman you talk too is going to like you, no matter what you do. It will help reduce how much you feel like you lost or failed. Remember, she isn’t any more valuable than YOU are, so if she gave you the cold shoulder, it’s her loss.

You have to come from a place of feeling like you are the most important person in your world. Anyone else who is allowed into your world should feel privileged to know you. Also, the more you do it, the less you will feel like you have lost over time.  Turn approaching women into a game, or think of it a social experiment until you get good at it, detach yourself from any negative emotions you may have experienced before from rejection.

Action Plan: Go to a public place like a mall and approach 10 women. We’re not trying to get phone numbers, just getting comfortable speaking to random women and coming up to them cold. This is what you do make eye contact and say “hey, you are absolutely gorgeous and I had to stop you to tell you…<she replies> I have to get going, unfortunately tight on time” wave and leave. Very simple, just give a compliment and have some fun with it. Do it and let me know how it goes.

6 Things You Never Say To A Woman

Posted by Gary On July - 21 - 2009

wine 6 Things You Never Say To A Woman

Here are some common things women have told me they dread and can’t stand when guys say them, enjoy.

1. On The First Bunch Of Dates: “We this..” “We that…” “We should..”

When you start saying things like “Oh, we should go to that sushi place….” or “I’ll take you out on my boat next time” or “We’ll definitely do that!” on the first or second date it reveals that you are very into her, she has you by the cajones and the fun is over. Don’t let her know she has won you over so easily. You don’t want to be that jackass who says he would love to put a ring on her finger after the first date.

2.  “How many guys have you had sex with?”

If you want to start a budding relationship off with oodles of tension, this is how you do it. I mean, honestly do you really want to know? You’re with her and that’s all that matters. It shows a big lack of confidence by having to ask this question in the early stages.

3. “I left you a message but you didn’t call me..whats up with that?”

Never let a woman know in the early stages of dating that her not calling you back bothers you. If you do, it shows again, you are way too into her too early and the game is over. Be busy, don’t give a crap if she doesn’t call you back, don’t give it any thought and most important don’t speak about it. The rules of course change when it comes to longer lasting relationships.

4. “So….Do you like me?”

If you want crank her attraction dial down into the negatives this is the question to ask. Of course she likes you, she’s with you isn’t she?

5. “What do you want to do?”

Be a leader, have a plan, and take charge. It’s very important in the early stages that you show that you in fact know how to be a man.

6. “Is it ok if I kiss you?

No talking – just do it.

5 Uncommon Places To Meet Women

Posted by Gary On July - 18 - 2009

yoga 300x250 5 Uncommon Places To Meet Women

Most people forget that there are places other than bars and clubs to meet women. Chances are, you will find a higher quality woman at one of the places described below than the typical bar scene anyway.  Check these places out for some great locations to easily meet and start conversations with women.

1. Ballroom Dance Lessons / Class

Guys hate it, women love it, which is why YOU should be there! Less guys, more women = less competition. I’m talking a 3:1 ratio here, at worst.  Another plus, you will get to dance with body contact with a lot of different hot women, which is always fun.  Even if you find you don’t meet anyone you like, you will have a new skill to add to your arsenal that most guys don’t have. If you can teach a woman what you’ve learned in dance class — they will be impressed! It’s a great way to immediatley start touching as well.

Icebreaker: “I know we need to dance close, but please don’t get too excited now…”

2. Home Depot / Lowes / Craft stores

If you’re looking for a woman who is self-reliant and indepdendent look no further than your local DYI store.

Icebreaker: “Hey check out this caulking gun..rather than that one, it works a lot better”

3. Men and Women’s Shoe Store

Again, another spot where typically there will be more women than men.  It’s critical that is BOTH a men AND woman’s shoe store or you may look kinda gay.

Icebreaker: “Hey, you look like you may know a little bit about fashion..which pair do you like better, these or these?”

4. Book Stores

Preferably one with a cafe inside -  Prove you’re more than just another pretty face, and ask a woman who is in your favorite sections if she’s read one of your favorite reads.

Icebreaker: “Hey, looking for a good <subject name> book? check this out…it’s kick ass. I’m going to grab a coffee..would you like to join me?”

5. Yoga Class

Increase your flexibility, relax, and watch girls in tight pants contort their bodies in enjoyable ways. Once the women in the class realize you’re straight and are masculine and confident enough to step foot into that type of class the game is already half over.

Icebreaker: <say to woman you are interested in> “Hey, No staring at my ass…I’ll be watching you!” with a wink.

Expel Submissive Body Language

Posted by Gary On July - 14 - 2009

body language

She’s hot and before you know it you’re stuffing your hands into your pockets and just making weird movements while talking to a woman. You need to eliminate this and all forms of submissive body language to make yourself appear more confident and attractive.

When you see an extremely attractive woman, you want to meet her, yet you have anxiety. You have conflictingly high levels of both fear and attraction, chances are you will approach with submissive body language and shrink your chances of succes.

You may avoid eye contact. You only look when you know the other person is looking at something else, rather than holding eye contact.

You look down. You avoid conflict by averting your eyes, rather than looking the person you are speaking with directly in the eyes.

You adopt a submissive posture. You make yourself smaller and take up less space, rather than spreading out and making yourself comfortable.

You speak with a soft voice, rather than a strong deep voice.

You follow, rather than lead mentally and logistically.

Start consciously working on reducing these types of gestures in every situation, not just when you’re talking to women. You will find that when you change the state of your body it will change the state of your mind. Walk tall, shoulders back, chin up, look people directly in the eye, hands at your sides, move slowly and take up space. Give it a rip, and let me know how it goes in the comments below.

How To Flirt Using Text Messages

Posted by Gary On July - 12 - 2009

textme 300x225 How To Flirt Using Text Messages

A lot of people aren’t exactly sure how text messages can be used as an attraction tool, so I outlined some of my favorite ways of using text messages to flirt.

  • If you have been living in a cave and don’t already know all the netspeak such as omg, lol, cul8r, <3 etc,  check out netlingo.com and learn the common sayings.
  • Tease heavily and use it as a tool to build up sexual tension. If you’re already dating someone, you can send her a text message in the morning about what you you’re going to do to her when she gets home. That way, she will be thinking about you all day and will probably want to jump your bones by the time you walk in the door.  By sending the first message in the morning, you create anticipation for the good times to come.
  • This is one of the few times I would advocate using smiley faces because tone is lost in text messages. Use the wink face ; ) when you are saying something that could be taken as mean to show that you are saying it in a playful manner. Don’t overuse text faces however, you don’t want every message you send to have a wink or a smile face :)   Use them sparingly and only when necessary.
  • If the textversation (made up a new word!) goes dry — let it. Don’t always be the one trying to keep the conversation going.  A magical thing happens you stop trying so hard to keep a woman’s attention. In most cases, if you’ve done things right and she is attracted to you, your phone should have a new text on it within the day or next day.
  • Make sure the way you flirt through text messages is also the way you flirt in person. Consistency is key.
  • If she doesn’t respond immediately to a question don’t nag and bug for an answer. It’s just plain annoying.  If you need an answer to a question that bad call. She could be busy and you don’t want to appear clingy.
  • Don’t always respond to messages immediately either. Keep her waiting a bit sometimes, even if you’re not busy. It will help keep her interested if you’re not always instantly available.
