Dating Tips Weekly – July 31

Friday, July 31st, 2009

This is the summary post on dating tips for the week of July 31. This is where I give you a summary of all the posts throughout the week, so you can fully understand what is going on, without reading the entire post.

The Answering Machine – A lot of the time when you call up a woman you’ll get the answering machine. This is actually a very popular way to filter calls and I’m sure she’ll be getting a lot of them. It can be hard to deal with an answering machine because if you play it wrong you won’t have a chance.

Women Will Test You – Every person tries to qualify the people around them and women are no different. The difference here is how women do it. A lot of guys miss what is happening when they’re tested and obviously they get it wrong.

Women are Just as Insecure as You – I thought it was important to give a reality post here to help take away some of your fears. Guys will put hot women up on a pedestal because they seem so perfect. Often these women have the biggest insecurities, so try and understand that they’re human.

Try and Smile – Smiling is very important to the attraction process, but often guys get so nervous around women that they forget to slap a smile on their face.

Try and Smile

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Smiling is one of the most important things that you need to do. A lot of guys forget to do it because they’re completely wrapped up in their head feeling nervous. “What will I say?”, “How will I approach her?”, “What will she think of me?”. The last thing on your mind is just putting on a friendly smile, but it’s something that you’re going to have to start doing or you’ll always have troubles.

A smile will show that your intentions are at least if in a friendly way, which is obviously the best way for them to be. As men, we can come off as intimidating and not smiling can be a sign that you’re upset or in a bad mood. No one is really going to open up to a person like that. A smile says that you’re happy, you’re in a good mood and you’re nice.

A smile is also an important part of looking attractive. Having a sour look on your face all the time isn’t exactly attractive. Showing that you’re a happy person that lives a happy life is attractive because people generally want to be around people that feel good. No one wants to hang around with negative people because they typically drag others down. We hang out with positive people because it makes us feel better. The same thing applies for smiles.

Make sure you’re smiling. Work on it if you have to.

Women Are Just as Insecure As You

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I think a lot of guys need to start understanding that women are just as insecure about themselves as you are. Actually they’re probably more insecure. It’s an odd thing really. When you see a woman that is very beautiful, with guys chasing her and her having a lot of boyfriends, you would just assume that she knows she’s hot and that she is perfect.

At least that’s the way I used to look at it, but often this type of situation breeds the biggest insecurities for her. She spends countless hours preparing just to be seen in public and she has to look her best. She has expectations that she has to meet. She also feels like guys only like her for her looks, so if she isn’t looking good she’ll get dumped.

It’s pretty rough.

There’s no need to put women on a pedestal because they’re just as human as you or I. They have fears. They have doubts. They have insecurities. They have embarrassing moments. They desire to be loved. They desire to be appreciated. They’re human.

The point of this post was humility. You need to stop living in your head and being so damn insecure about talking to women. She has the same fears. When you go up to a woman, she is just as afraid of being judged as you are of being judged.

Stop worrying so much. You’re both humans.

Women Will Test You

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

When you’re talking to a woman, you should be testing her to see if she qualifies high enough to be with you. Women do the same thing to us, it’s just a much more game like thing. A lot of guys don’t like to play games, but this is something that women do and you have to learn how to play.

Women will test to see if you’re really an independent, confident man. That’s really what they’re looking for. They don’t want to have a guy that is going to sacrifice himself, just to have the chance to talk to her.

One of the most common types of tests happens at a bar and that’s where a girl will ask you to buy her a drink. Normally women don’t have to ask because there are a lot of idiots out there that will offer. If she asks, than she is just looking for your response. The right outcome is not getting her a drink, which makes her happy because you passed. The wrong outcome is her getting a drink, which makes her happy because she got a free drink.

There are a lot of tests and they can be very subtle, but if you remember that you’re an independent, confident man than you should be able to pass them all. That means you’re not going to sacrifice your ideals or opinions, or you’re not going to express yourself even though they may not like it.

It’s a man thing, so be a man.

The Answering Machine

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Phone game isn’t the easiest thing for us guys. We got the number, but we really don’t know where we stand. Despite how special we feel we are for getting the number, women are hit on all the time and could of gave their number out to a lot of different guys. The fact that it is your first time calling, you’ll probably end up going to voice mail or answering machine because she doesn’t know who you are. Not all women are like this, but it’s something that is becoming more and more popular as a screening process.

I think that the answering machine traps a lot of guys because they’re not really sure what they should be doing. It’s a tough thing to deal with when you’re calling up expecting to talk to a person and you get the machine.

Here’s the rule, you’re only allowed to leave one message and that’s it. After that, you’re done. A lot of guys will call up, get the machine, leave a message, but feel this need to call back a few hours later and end up leaving another message.

Imagine being the female. You have some guy you just gave your phone number to leaving a ton of messages on your machine. Not cool.

Here’s what you should do. First call – no message, [space of a day ] second call – no message, [space of a few hours] third call – message.

And that’s it. If she doesn’t call you back, she doesn’t want to talk to you. Throw the number in the garbage and move on.

Dating Tips Summary – July 24

Friday, July 24th, 2009

These are the dating tips that you would of missed over the last week. This is where I give you a summary of all the posts, so you know exactly what you should be reading.

Routine is the Key to Your Success with Women – If you expect to get better with the ladies there are specific things that you have to do. But it is the routine of these behaviors that are going to make you successful.

Dating Isn’t That Big of a Deal – I know there are a lot of you out there that get nervous with the idea of dating. Is that really the life you want? Do you want to feel nervous when you’re out with a woman?

Cheap Dates are the Best Dates – You don’t have to go all out on your dates because that often puts you in a counter productive position. Often going on cheap dates will put you into a much better position.

Cheap Dates are the Best Dates

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I know a lot of you over complicate the dating process. You do that to create barriers, rather than dealing with a legitimate problem. I know a lot of people like to do interesting things during dates because they think that is what is attractive. I’m sorry to tell you, but that’s not true.

Do you want her to be interested in your dates or interested in you?

It’s all about what you do together that is what counts. It depends how interesting you are, rather than how interesting the date is. I’m telling you that the cheap skates have the best date ideas because it usually puts you in the best position.

Note: Don’t ask for a “date”. Words like hang out or tag along should be used.

Once of my most favorite dates is going grocery shopping. I’m not lying to you. Just ask her to meet you at the grocery store, get out a shopping cart and go grocery shopping (two birds with one stone). You can talk, banter, flirt, etc. The best part about this type of date is that you invite her back to your place, have something to eat or watch a movie. She’s at your place, so you’ve cut out a lot of the hard work.

There are other dates like this that you can do, so understand that they are about the easiest and best way to go.

How to be different at attraction

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Attraction is a very important part of the process. To really understand what things are like, you have to view it from the perspective of a female. They’re viewed based on how “hot” they are. It’s not that this is a bad thing because guys are very visual, but it’s something they put up with all the time. They’ll have guys always wanting to talk to them, always wanting to do things for them, etc. Any hot woman will have guys she calls friends that really do anything for them. You can call this “using”, but it’s just the way things are.

What a woman learns is that as long as she is hot, she can pretty much have whatever guy she wants. What this comes down to is a perception of value. Do you value things that you can easily get? No.

This is where being different at attraction comes in. She knows she is hot and you know she is hot. These are facts that both of you recognize in an interaction.

But here is how you do it differently…

You’re going to state to her that she is hot, but you’re looking for something else. “You’re beautiful, but there are a lot of beautiful women in this city. What else do you have going for you?”

The reason that this is so effective is that it frames things to a position of dominance. She will begin to qualify herself to you. She will try to explain to you why she is worthy to be with you.

Trust me, it works. There’s not too many guys that will approach her and tell her that they’re not really interested in how hot she is.

Dating Isn't That Big of a Deal

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

If you’re getting worried or nervous about dates than you should recognize that you’re living too much up in your head. The feelings you get come from being in your head analyzing as much of it as possible and analyze as many outcomes as possible, even the ones that aren’t probable to happen. These thoughts continue to be reiterated in your subconscious until you actually get scared and think they’ll happen.

Do you really want to feel that way? You should recognize that hanging out with a woman shouldn’t create feelings of fear or nervousness. No one wants that.

If you’re looking to go in for a kiss on a date, you don’t want to feel nervous. The idea of kissing a woman should excite you, not scare you. But that’s something that a lot of guys have to deal with on a regular basis.

First, you will get past part of this. You won’t feel like a total weirdo hanging out with a woman. You’ll learn to live in the moment and enjoy yourself. You will probably still experience a little nervousness though at the thought of going to hang out with her. I don’t think these feelings totally disappear. The same applies for kissing.

The deal you have to learn is to become spontaneous and just be in the moment. You can’t think about it if you just do it.

Routine is the key to your Success with Women

Monday, July 20th, 2009

A lot of people are always looking for a way to be successful and do what is necessary. The last thing people do is create a routine (which inevitably leads to a habit). People will try, fail, give up, work up their nerve and try again. That’s very counter productive because it doesn’t build on itself. It doesn’t help you have a routine of productive and effective behaviors that you’re always doing.

Trying to talk to strangers at the mall each day is something that is great. It doesn’t matter if you crash and burn every single day for a week. It’s the behavior that you want. You should at least recognize that the more you talk to strangers, the better you will get at it. The more you talk to women the better you’ll get at it. The more you flirt with women, the better you’ll get at it. The more you ask women out, the better you’ll get at it.

Everything in life that works comes from routine behavior. If you want clean teeth, you don’t do amazing things. You don’t work hard. All you do is make a routine for brushing and flossing, nothing more.

Picking up women isn’t hard. You just need to make a routine for it, so you can work out the kinks and it will be second nature.
