I have received a number of emails this week from guys wanting to know cool ideas for Halloween costumes.

What they are REALLY asking are what are some ways to get attention with their costume, and even have people (read: WOMEN) approach you.

Well, you could always dress as Hugh Hefner - fully robed, with slippers. Of course, unless you have the standard two gorgeous blondes on each arm, the costume seems incomplete doesn’t it?

Here are some ideas that will help you be both cool, and approachable, on Halloween.

1) Props. Wear or carry props that will invoke curiosity. Last year, I dressed up as a vending machine. It was a simple idea: just wear all black clothing, and cover yourself with candy (attached by tape, or small specs of glue). People will be both intrigued by your creativity, and will also want to get some candy! Wear this costume, and watch as people approach you all night long.

2) Shiny is best. If you want to be noticed, wear things which are bright, shiny and even…electric. I have a friend who has a scrolling message board he wears on Halloween. You can program in certain phrases or sayings which grab people’s attention (obviously). Women are naturally drawn towards flashy, interesting objects. Why, you say? By wearing a flashy, shiny costume you are communicating socially that you want to be approached. Simple, and effective.

3) Controversy. If you want attention, embrace controversy. For example, a friend of mine last year went out as Michael Jackson. As part of his costume, he attached a pair of boys briefs to the lips of the mask! This was quite the attention-getter. People would naturally remark about his costume, and he was thusly able to meet LOTS of people.

Guys typically communicate socially that they do not want to be approached. Their look is conservative, and geared towards “fitting-in”. Halloween is a time to throw caution to the wind, and try something outrageous. Use your creativity, and add a little bait to the costume (candy ALWAYS works). This way, you are telling people to come talk to you.

Of course, once they do approach you, you then have to know how to communicate with them. If you don’t have that piece mastered, then it’s time you checked out my ebook, “How To Get A Girlfriend“.

Seriously, it is THE primer for dating mastery - why waste another second with questions, when $30 gets you all the answers?

What’s the use in grabbing their attention, if you have no follow-thru!

Most importantly, have fun on Halloween. Be intelligent about what you wear, and allow your costume to work FOR you. Challenge yourself NOT to fit in.

You will see that when you don’t, you tend to get a LOT of attention!

Have a fun and safe night,

Stephen

Looks don’t matter, but, your “look” does. Looks are what our genetics have given us, which we have very little control over. Guys who are blessed with good looks are said to be “genetically attractive”. The fact is though, there are many good-looking guys who struggle with women. I have also met others not so genetically fortunate who have massive success because they understand what looks good on them, and how to present themselves in an attractive way. These guys are said to be “physically attractive”.

If you had to choose one over the other, it is FAR better to be physically attractive. AND it is well within the realm of your control. Just follow some very easy tips here and you will be on your way.

The physically attractive men are the ones who understand that they have power over their image and look, and choose to exercise that on a daily basis. By taking care of their look, they communicate class and self-esteem to those they come in contact with. Also, there are plenty of guys out there blessed genetically who go unnoticed because they are totally clueless when it comes to looking cool.

Time and time again, I meet guys who have great personalities, and have a lot to offer women, but they simply have no idea how to present themselves in a powerful, attractive way. Owning this skill would automatically help them feel better about themselves, filling them with confidence and dramatically increasing their likelihood of success instantly!

I once was out shopping with a client, and asked him to take a trip around the store and pick out some items that he thought were cool. He returned with some pretty telling items - some boring jeans, some shirts which did not work for his body type and skin, and a hideous jacket that might look good on someone 15 years his junior (is this you??). So, I told him to put the items he selected away, and I went around with him, and started asking questions. His answers led me to believe that he saw himself as “just an average guy”. I have heard this all too often when working with men needing help with their image. They have lost a sense of uniqueness and purpose causing them to accept fitting-in as a way of life. Part of what I love to do with guys is to help them live beyond the small box they have created entitled “my world”.

If you want great relationships with quality women you must get your life in order. One of the critical things to do is to think outside of this “box” and build a look that works for you. Leave behind the “average guy” image which only helps you fade into the background. By the time the afternoon was over, this guy was shocked, surprised and thrilled. He instantly felt more confident in knowing he looked good, and felt good. His look was coming together!

There are three principles to guide your choices when building your look and enhancing your image:

1) Does it help me feel more powerful and confident?
2) Will it help me achieve the aims I strive for in life?
3) Does it work for my body-type and personality?

In my ebook, “How To Get A Girlfriend“, I go into great detail on how to answer these questions as well as seven guiding principles for getting your look together. We also give you a series of exercises which help you to implement a quick and simple plan of ACTION for how to shop for yourself, what to buy and WHERE without spending tons of money.

Interested in saving dough, while looking like a million buck$?

Of course, having a cool look is just one of the 7 main skills I outline for getting a girlfriend - and not just ANY girl - but one that is right for you…

My philosophy? Stop ’sarging’ and start living a real life, then watch real women materialize who are ready for YOU…

If this rings a bell, then you gotta check out my ebook “How To Get A Girlfriend“.

I wish you guys an awesome weekend…I am off to ride some serious roller coasters…will post more next week.
