21 January 2008

You know, as a human bieng, I've been living on this earth for more than 19 years of my life. Iv'e grown to realise that life isn't just fun and games. Life is a chance for us to learn its lessons... to prepare us for whats to come in the life after, if there is a life after. So I made a short thesis type article on life & romance... the most important structure; the most important set of blocks for growing the important set of skills that life has to offer.
The one thing we all long to have more than anything else is somebody that understands and feals things the way we do. Human experiance is so indipendent, is so disparet. Everybody out there is looking for somebody they can understand thier point of view, its an arrsicism we gotta have. Theres a very dire and dark saying that goes: "you come in this world alone and your gonna leave this world alone" and the matter fact of the matter is that all we do while were here on this planet is seek ways of connecting with other people, to share experiance, to share this whole thing called life. Its very important that us human biengs have connections to other people whether its guys or girls, you know... its an important part of our life to be connecting with other people. It gives us a sence of meening. People deprived of companionship for long periods of time do show signs of savere mental problems after a while... its just a fact of the matter. You gotta have other people in your life so whats a guy to do? How do you ballance reppor and attraction? (READ MORE)

Well first of all theres alot of guys out there that will tell you: "ohh you gotta build attraction first and then you gotta go into reppor building". The reality is from my experiance... you gotta be doing both all along the way. And theres ways of accomplishing reppor building even while your building attraction with a woman. Attraction is more energetic... Let me introdouce you to an acronim "REAL". Real stands for: Relaxed and Resourcefull, Effective and Energized, Alpha and Authentic, Lifestyle and Lasting. Those ellements make up the lifestyle of a guy whos an Alpha. (He's the leader of the pack, hes the one women are going to be naturaly drawn to becuase of his own internal strengh). Were looking for people in life that we draw from, that we can lean on becuase life it self is dificult alone. Its tough to travel this path and not have somebody to rely on for support every once in a while. Try doing it sometimes even the strongest people in the world have low moments where they get depressed, or they get discouraged, or they just get down on them selfs becuase things arn't going thier way.

Well hey, it happens to me to I hate to tell you guys; I hate to burst the bubble but even guys that are, mr. nowories, mr. happy go lucky do have a few moments here and there where they arn't in tiptop peak emotional capacity. Hey, it happens but you know what, what ive done is, ive figured out ways to make those moments few and far in between. I looked at life and thought... you know as a skill, life is just like everything else. Its something you can build and develop and get better at. For example, if you're a pilot then you know you can get into a plane and you can fly that thing and you can get better at it. Or for you gamers out there, you know you can play a sertain video game and eventually you'll get better at it. So why can't you get better at the game of life? Answer... No reason at all, you can... life is a set of skills, all you gotta do is develop these skills. THats part of what growing up and being a fully developed human bieng is all about. Its learning how to manage your life better. Get better at the skills that make you a stronger alpha male.

Its not just about getting the women, because if your just chasing the women... whats thats really saying is your looking for something thats empty or vacant or a hole inside you and thats whats going to ultimately turn off a woman anyways. So the more you chase the woman the more they run away. Its an irony of the situation that you can't cheat... you cant get passed that. THe more your lacking something inside the less your gonna find it outside. So lets get back to reppor, what the fuck is reppor realy? Repor is that fealing of connection between you and her (basicly what my last ex and I never had), shes gotta have it. A woman has to feal like your on the same level or that you can RELATE to her in some way. This is one of the biggest areas of failure for guys and the whole proccess of getting a connection with a woman.

Connection seems to be the most dificult things for most guys to do... and buillding attraction. Those two skills realy make up most of what Im talking about to get a woman interested in you. Its not about your looks, its not about the ferrari your driving, its not about your high paying corporate executive job, its none of that. What its about is presenting your personal power. YOUR alpha power. And your alpha power is a sence of independance, and non kneeness non-clingness... thats atractive to a woman, thats just one of the attractive qualities... a sence of humor is an immensly attractive quality to woman... your self control, meening your ability not to run her over with your interest in her. Most guys come on to women like bulls out of a gate... its rediculous how someguys think how thier gonna try to attract a woman. What thier not doing and what they should be doing is looking at things through another persons eyes. Look at it through a womans eyes. Even though you may not be able to fully understand or comprehend what its like for a woman and her emotional logic, you can work with it.
For example... I dont know how alot parts work in my ipod but I do know enough of how to press the buttons on the outside to make it do those things on the inside. I don't have to know how the songs are stored, I dont have to know how data's in binary translate to an audio frequency works... all I gotta know is how to hit the buttons on the outside. I could be a stupid white guy in newyork, I just gotta push the buttons and the thing works. You know what the ultumate function is, you know what that thing to do... you don't have to know every single thing about it. I don't have to know the intricate intimate features sets of any particular ipod. Just know how to operate it in general. You press a button, and it plays a song, great! Ok, with women, same thing. Two big buttons you gotta hit, atraction and reppor. With repor, its all about just showing her and authentic personality along with alot of senceraty.

You ever been with somebody that conversation just seems to flow with? You have alot in common and you had similar interest, you had maybe similar backgrounds or grew up in the same area... ok, now these are areas of commonality. This is called REPPOR. You feal like you were instantly friends with this person. Ive been at parties here and there where iv'e met sombody from another place where I use to live. As a matter of fact, she was someone who use to live in ft.garry at the same street as I did, and instantly we had a new level of reppor, we were both farmiliar with that area. It was like... "wow we had something in common" and it makes you feal alittle bit connected to that person. Make sence? So the one tip I can give you right now is gonna give you tenfold to simply this: when your talking to a woman find things you have in common; things that are alike. Doesn't matter if its the school you went to, doesn't matter if its the kind of car your parrents drove; doesn't matter if its the tv shows you both watch; doesnt matter if its the kind of movies you like to see; the music you listen to; the clubs you like to hang out at; you hobbies, maybe you were a painter, maybe your a poet... anyways, your looking for things that are common, things are shared experiance becuase shes already got emotional attachment built up to things that she's experianced in life and so do you. And that emotional attachment you have for something is instantly created as a bond between you and her when you find out you share that thing, becuase emotions start to connect.
Its no longer about the superficial level of... "so, what do you do";"where do you live"... just dont do reppor seaking in an overly eirie sort of way, I guess the best way of saying it is... DONT OVER DO IT. Becuase then it looks like your trying too hard. We talked about this havn't we? The try too hard... he's the guy thats always trying to be your friend, trying to get that connection, try try try try... and he looks like he's trying too hard. And as a result, you suspect his motives. Becuase you know deap down inside this person lacks self asteem. Thier insecure... so again, when theres an infinit number of little components you can throw into this mix of reppor the most important is finding the things that connect both you two, things that are shared experiance. But ther's so much more, the whole senceraty element... the way for presenting your self in a way that you'll want to find reppor. You can get a woman to start seeking reppor with you. IF YOU HANDLE IT CORRECTLY.

Now that you know how to approach a girl lets talk to one. This question normally tends to puzzle most guys. What to talk about, what topics to use, how to behave, the right language and so on. There are several aspects which should be kept in mind before talking to girls. Girls tend to evaluate guys based on several aspects of their personality and talking is one of the most essential of them all.
Learn to start right- Girls are used to that old standard hi or hello; Girls expect better talks from guys now. Most guys get the wrong opening statement or line and this is the main reason why they are not effective in talking to girls. Always open up with something extraordinary which would catch her attention. Girls would never continue talking to you unless they feel there is something distinct about you or your personality so try shaking the girls hands when you initially meet up. Not a lot of guys do that these days and shaking a girls hands really says a lot about your maturity.


Keep it small- Some guys tend to talk forever which normally leads to turning most girls off. The more you talk to her the more information she would gather about your personality and that aspect of mystery would die. Girls like to talk to guys who are mysterious enough and are worth talking to. The more you talk the more information you are spitting out about yourself which makes you an open book. Therefore learn to keep your talks small and remember silence is golden sometimes.


Awkward silence- Sometimes talks with girls tend to get into an awkward silence where both parties do not know what to talk about. This is the worst situation you can ever be in with girls. The moment this starts happening in your talks most girls would most probably put you in the boring talker category and she would never think of you the same way.


Finish early- It's always good to make an early exit when talking to girls. Even when you feel the talks are extremely interesting and amusing. Girls only want more from guys when they feel you have something distinct and interesting about yourself. Making an early exit from a very interesting talk tends to leave girls wanting more from you thereby creating more attraction.

You've got a problem. There's this girl you absolutely adore - great hair, great laugh, amazing personality, really pretty face - but she's always dated the more 'adept' guys. So how do you get her to like you?

The first thing you need to realize is that the things women find attractive about men, are NOT the same things that men find attractive about women. Men, as you know, are very 'visual' beings - it's usually how a girl looks that sets our pulses racing (amongst other things...)

Women, on the other hand, find men attractive because of their personalities. How many surveys have you seen where women place 'sense of humour' as their number one priority when finding a mate? Quite a few I'd bet. A woman's ideal man is an alpha male that is confident and can take the lead, both in life and with her.

"So how do I get her to like me?" you say, "I'm no alpha male." Well, maybe not yet, but you can learn. Like all the good things in life worth learning, it will take effort and time on your part but, I guarantee, it will definitely be worth it.

Here's a tip for getting a girl to like you - Nonchalence.

You need to display non-attachment to whether the girl likes you or not. Great if she does like you, but if not, there are tons of other fish in the sea. Sure, you may not actually feel like that, but that is the 'act' you have got to convincingly sell. You must place a high value on yourself and never come from a position of neediness.

Make friends and hang out with as many women as you can to help eliminate neediness and also date as many women as you can, instead of restricting yourself to that "one special girl". It's a known fact that when a girl sees that other women are attracted to a guy then she will also feel attraction. In psychological circles this is known as the 'social proof' effect. It happens in both men and women, but it's much more powerful in the female of the species.

Of course, this is only one tip on how you get a girl to like you, but it is a very useful one to understand and will go a long way to helping you get that all important first date with the girl you want.

How you should Approach a girl:


You have had the hots for this particular girl for ages, but if you go up to her, you're not quite sure where to go from there. There are a few things you must learn to improve your technique for approaching women, but the single most important one is that of eye contact.

You've seen a girl you like and decide to approach her. The first thing you must do is talk to her. I'm not suggesting this needs to be anything profound. Just simple "Hi. How are you?" will suffice as an opener. Women like conversation. The next thing is eye contact. Now, I don't mean a quick glance for one second and then start staring at the floor whilst shuffling your shoes and looking all bashful. That my friend, is not eye contact.

Women love the eyes. They are the portals to your sole, and the first indication that a women gets of a male's desire for her. You would be surprised at how little people maintain 'proper' eye contact these days, so when you do it will have a marked impact on her, and also on how she now sees you. Eye contact is very important. There is nothing complicated about it, but do not stop once you've started (obviously don't stop blinking otherwise you've now entered a staring competition and that will COMPLETELY freak her out!)

Look into her eyes. Notice the colour. Pay attention to the size of her pupils. If they are dilated (large) then she likes you. This is a reflex action on her part, letting in more light and therefore more of you! By keeping eye contact you can see (no pun intended...) that not only are you impressing upon her your desire to be with her and talk to her, but you are also getting vital clues on how she feels about you.

So, now you know part of the technique of how to approach girls. Check my other articles for advice on what to do after the approach, and when you are on your first date.

What us girls look for in a man:


There's no magical formula or 'mystery method' to improving your chances of attracting women, despite what you might read. There are a number of things you can do to dramatically improve your chances of pulling women you never thought possible.


  • Have a Sense of Humour

    I guarantee that every survey you read about what women want from a man, will have 'sense of humour' somewhere in the top 3. Don't imagine that women want the same things as you want from a woman. Having a good sense of humour is very important. Making a woman laugh or smile will release those "feel good chemicals" and she'll start to get hooked!

  • Be Thoughtful without becoming just another friend

    Don't ask me why, but most women like a guy with a bit of an edge to him. You've seen the movies. The guy who does everything for the girl always ends up becoming the "best friend". It's a fine line to tread, and I'm not saying don't hold doors open, but just be aware of what you're doing. If she begins, "You know Jim, I really like hanging out with you and having a laugh" you've gone too far into the friend zone. Retreat if you can.

  • Learn the art of conversation

    Girls like to be looked at, as it makes them feel attractive and wanted. However, if all you do is gawp at your date from across the other side of the table it won't be long before she's leaving, or worse! How do you entertain with you conversation? Get yourself something to talk about. This weekend, don't spend it surfing the net or watching TV, go and do something interesting. Now, it doesn't have to be hot air ballooning or paragliding (although these are great if you have the chance), but it might be taking in a show for example. Even better if you can find out what interests your prospective date has, and get some experiences in something she will enjoy talking about.

You know it’s over – maybe both of you do – but how do you find the courage to break a relationship up?

As well as the worry that you’ll hurt the other person, there’s also the fear that you won’t cope with the tidal wave of emotion you imagine you’ll feel too.

Here are some tips on how to avoid the “break relationship up” blues!

First – let’s face a stark fact. When a relationship breaks up people hurt. And relationships don’t break up on their own – someone has to do it! Very rarely is it by mutual agreement, and even if both of you do agree it’s time to go, chances are one of you will be more reluctant than the other.

The truth, however, is that keeping someone in a relationship that is no longer loving is hurting them anyway. And they probably know. They may bury their head in the proverbial sand, but it’s very rare that a lover doesn’t sense something’s wrong. The sooner you find a way to mention that maybe it’s time to break the relationship up, the sooner you put them out of that misery. Things start to add up in their head and you have the satisfaction of having been honest.

Secondly, act as quickly as you can. To minimize pain for both of you don’t hang on until it’s “convenient” for you to go, and don’t back pedal by having a conversation about patching things up. Make a clean break. If there’s ever going to be hope of starting again, don’t leave jagged edges! They’re sharp and dangerous and can hurt both of you for a lot longer than a clean break.

And what about you? Being the one to break the relationship up brings not only pain but added guilt. You did it – and you have to live with yourself.

Here’s how to think of it. First, you were already hurting because you wouldn’t have been moving on if things were working, would you? Would you give a faulty or broken tool to your best friend? Of course you wouldn’t! Inflicting your unhappy self on the person who’s been closest to you in this phase of your life is equivalent to forcing faulty or tacky goods on someone when you know it’s broken and you wouldn’t have it. Get your head around this and you’ll see that you’d have more guilt staying!

Secondly, just because you were the one to break the relationship up doesn’t mean you don’t hurt too. Let yourself grieve – you’re entitled to. (For a complete self help guide on healing from heartbreak go to my website – details later)

Finally, I will pass on a thought to you that I have found very helpful over the years. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I heard or read it, so if the author is reading – thank you!

Here’s the thought: Some people come into your life for a reason, some for a season and some for a lifetime.

You are not under obligation to stay together. You are under obligation to stay happy, and that includes doing the kindest thing for your partner too. He or she has the same entitlement.

If it’s time to break the relationship up, face it and …. break the relationship up!
