Lead Her or Lose Her

 

I’m in tears- of both sadness and joy. The following email is from an old friend whom I occasionally remain in contact with:

Going to X Resort with lady and another couple less the dude (last minute
back out), so really it’s me and two ladies. It is her best friend, so I’ll
have to keep her entertained. . .Met her just over a month ago, gone out
about 5 times; I like/respect her so I’ve been a gentleman and have
progressed slowly–no three pump and dump, “now get the hell out of here, I want to go to sleep”.

The tears of joy are because his erroneous approach to intimacy is replicated by about 99% of the male population, which makes doing what I do akin to shooting fish in a barrel. The tears of sadness are because he’s just one more guy out there who doesn’t have a clue what women want or how to relate to them. Of course, if your goal is to master a textbook blueprint for placing yourself squarely in the “friend zone”, be my guest.

For any of us (I’m beginning to think this number is getting smaller and smaller) who have consistent success with women, we know that putting the brakes on real emotion and handcuffing yourself into a rigid, limiting relational style is not how you do it. Placing a woman on a pedestal because you don’t want to blow it almost ensures that you will. Think “prevent defense” in the NFL. Usually the only thing it prevents is that particular team who employs it from winning.

Women want a man who has the belief in himself to take action and lead. In fact, most women won’t take you serious and certainly won’t entertain a relationship with you if you don’t. How can they? In your mind you’re failure to take action and sit on your hands is a form of “respecting” her. Is there something disrespectful, dirty, or shameful about physical intimacy?

Unfortunately this belief is very common. It’s also something that if subscribed to is indicative of an entire lack of knowledge and experience. I don’t behave this way with women because before I had the knowledge, method and experience to create The Dating Matrix that’s how I used to do it. It never worked out. Now, I have women in my life that I never thought I could be with constantly begging me for a deeper relationship…

Learning Curve

When I use to struggle with women in my life, I was completely focused on the right words to say for any given situation.  If I saw a guy who was successful at approaching women and initiating with girls I always believed he must have said just the right thing to start that conversation

As I have come to learn, however, in most cases I can’t even remember my opening line.  In fact, my opening line is the result of a long chain of events of which it’s the least important item.  How does this make sense? 

Think about this: if you have poor body posture, aren’t dressed to capture the imagination of a woman or express yourself to attract the opposite sex, have very little social intuition and are shy or introverted, don’t believe in yourself and carry very low energy, the words you say when you do finally get near a woman are the least of your problems. 

Being successful with girls is a little like being an NFL player on game day.  All you see is the action for 4 quarters, but it’s what you don’t see that allows the player to be in the game.   The other 6 days, the player is constantly training, dieting, practicing, studying, exercising, etc. 

The rubber hits the road when you approach and initiate with a particular girl in a particular moment.  But the majority of the work is done well before you get to that point.  The fundamentals must be in place and practiced in order to create success.  you can learn all of this from my Dating Advice website.

Can you imagine how much easier it would be if you knew when a woman was attracted to you and wanted you to come over and speak to her?   Well, this is just one of the developments that will begin happening as you become more conscious of your own body and the image you project. 

In fact, once you learn how a girl signals interest, it will be undeniable obvious to you.  You will sense when she has an interest in you…without any pretext you will be aware of her cues…you will then have the confidence to approach…it will fuel your opening…and then you will be you in a conversation (executing the 4 Segments to Conversational Success, of course).

If you were to shadow me in the course of a day, you would probably think I never shut up.  I engage just about every person I come across, be it a smile, saying hello, a question, or a conversation starter.  Male or female.  In most cases, I am simply being confident and friendly, but there are times during the day I will be attracted to a particular woman.  And when this happens, nothing changes in my approach. 

I probably speak to more girls in one day than many of you do in 2 weeks. The point is, interacting with strangers is a skill.  And when you first meet the women of your dreams, she will be a stranger to you.   You have to be good at this, and from my viewpoint, everyday is an opportunity to continue to practice and expand your skills…

Life Changes – are you Afraid of Change ?

Are you afraid of change in your life? Do you wonder how you’re going to maintain your integrity and develop the skills to express your personality?

Do you find these two concepts in conflict?

If you wanted to learn how to golf, or skate, or drive a race car, would you have these same fears? Would you worry about internal changes that resulted in your ability to shoot par, become a professional hockey player, or drive Formula 1? The physical or technical skill is only part of the game. The internal changes are what allow you to execute those skills when you need them most.

Becoming successful with women is about becoming successful with yourself. Internal changes are part of the process. A stripping of your internal character and what you believe is not. As a Dating Coach I can provide you with the tactical skills to approach Women , open with hot girls , attract beautiful women, and date women. The bigger picture is the transformation that takes place as you evolve and find yourself in relationships with women you desire.

Managing yourself and your life with women is not built on tactical skills, but rather experience with yourself. If you have never actively dated, or found yourself in a relationship, or been intimate with a woman, how do you know how it will change you?

The idea here is to not just be able to date the women or woman you desire, but to maintain the relationship and keep her. The balance between attraction, rapport, and physical intimacy must be as dynamic as the people in the relationship…

Why make it complicated? – Denise Richards

So I’m home Monday night after dinner with some friends bored because I didn’t attend a boat party I was invited to due to weather…the whole holiday weekend the weather kind of sucked her in Miami. Anyway, I start flipping channels and land on E, my favorite network for meaningful and intelligent fare, and started watching “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.” My God, poor Charlie Sheen. This guy should get the Presidential Freedom Award for consenting to marriage with this woman…but I digress :)

OK, so she’s a mom two times over, has something like 10 dogs, 2 pigs, and lives with her dad-but she’s still extremely hot. Anyway, her friend sets her up with some guy she knows. The cameras roll as they go on the “blind date.” As Denise enters the bar, the dude is sitting at the bar with his back to the entrance. When he sees her, he nearly jumps out of his seat to give her a hug. But not an alpha hug, an ass out grandmother kind of hug. Very embarrassing. Ms. Complicated is looking at her friend (who is not hot by the way-just more proof that befriending not so hot chicks usually leads to hot chicks) with a bugged out look on her face like WTF?

Ok so later on in this disaster after they’re seated, the dude starts by asking her about movies he’s seen her in and then begins gushing about her co-star Matt Dillon in Wild Things. He then uses the uber clever “Did you grow up in LA?” and follows that up with “Where do you live now?” Thoughts of the Phoenix Suns a la playoff time come to mind.

It’s really incredible to me that guys with no game and no results aren’t actively searching to get the knowledge they need to become successful with women. What I saw is so so common, and so so depressing. Homey never demonstrated any evidence of organized thinking or even the slightest deference to stages of attraction, screening, or rapport building. His frame was her frame, which is essentially no frame.

When playing celebrity game, it’s especially important to control the interaction because girls like Denise will only deal with high value guys. If you don’t demonstrate alpha characteristics, such as controlling frame (not asking about her life but including her while relating value enhancing stories about yours), creating attraction by demonstrating the universal characteristics women desire, screening her by making her explain herself on those same characteristics, and then bonding over shared emotional concepts (family, independence, adventure, etc) it’s game over.
