The Last American Man
March 28th, 2007 under Book Reviews. [ Comments: 1 ]

I recently returned from South America, for some R&R. My girlfriend and I had a really amazing time, with some pretty extraordinary adventures and some truly beautiful beaches…

A friend of mine recommended a book to me as something to read on the beach. It is called The Last American Man, and is written by Elizabeth Gilbert (who is topping the bestseller charts these days with “Eat, Pray, Love”).

This book chronicles the life of Eustace Conway, a true naturalist hero, who lives in the wild in the mountains of North Carolina. Now, I am from this part of the world, and there are plenty of “mountain men” in those parts. I assure you though, none compare with Eustace Conway.

Gilbert’s book does a fantastic job of delving into the American male psyche, particularly in the beginning of the book. She describes how American men used to be truly untamed frontiersmen, explorers at heart - the necessary mindset for building a nation (while also merciless, in their assault on Native American culture). As I read this book, it occured to me, while in South America, that I shared in this expansive, exploratory mindset by wanting to really feel and experience directly other cultures. She explains this phenomenon so clearly, and helps me see some differences between those of US origin, and those of non-US origin. This is one of the highlights.

Eustace Conway is someone who has made it his life mission to be able to live off the land, and then teach others how to do this. He left his home at an early age to live in a teepee, and survive on what he killed, captured and gathered. He travelled across the US on horseback, across Alaska in a kayak, and again across the US in a horse-drawn carriage.

His passion is admirable, and his focus on a mission is truly heroic. However, he cannot keep a relationship…hmmm…

It reminds me that passion and brilliance are wondrous, but can also be a prison for the individual. It is a greater reminder though in how difficult it is to see ones SELF. Here is a brilliant man, who longs for love…and yet, sabotages it every single time he gets it. The women often are not able to keep up with him, or he expects too much of them only to watch them leave him from his incessant demands.

His life is filled with marvels, as he masters the outside world - but yet, his inner life is still a massive turmoil, as he repeats the sins of his father by lashing out at those he most loves.

It is a very evocative and interesting story both on being a man, and on relationships. Ultimately, his tale proves again that relationships involve first a sometimes brutal assessment of who one really is…until that gaze has been secured, a lasting, loving, healthy relationship is likely not possible.

So, what is standing in your way then? Can you really ask yourself this? Or are you still happy and content with the status quo.

Definitely read this book…and let it inspire you to look closer and see more clearly who you REALLY are…

The Anatomy For Getting A Woman’s Number
March 19th, 2007 under Social Skills. [ Comments: 3 ]

A guy recently emailed me a GREAT question that stumps everyone I meet. It has to do with a simple challenge, but one that most of you would love to handle better. Let’s hear what he has to say:

Stephen,

First of all, thanks for all of your solid advice over the years. I am a huge fan of yours, and Mike too. Your dating and fashion advice are number one, as far as I am concerned. Recently, I have improved a lot of my dating woes and am meeting lots of women. However, when it comes time to go for the phone number, I get all tongue-tied and confused. Help me out man! What is the best way to ask for her phone number?

Thanks a lot!

Owen Los Angeles, CA”

Good question Owen, and thanks for writing us. So, let me guess, you spotted her in the mall, you approached her, you have had a great conversation, but you feel clueless when it is time to take it to the next level and get her phone number? Yep, that problem is common…

Lots of guys get hung up when it comes time to “close the deal”. They don’t know what to say, so often they won’t say anything and just split!

How many times have I heard women exclaim, “Why didn’t he ask for my number? I would have given it to him in a heartbeat!!”

The best way to get her number is, of course, to ask her. If she is into you, it won’t matter how you ask her - she won’t care! However, if you want a solid script to use, which helps you feel prepared - here is the best one yet:

“I have to run, and so do you, but I would love to continue this some other time - what is your number?”

I know, I know…it couldn’t be that easy…

But guess what - IT IS. That’s really it guys!

You graciously tell her that you have to leave, and you let her know that you also realize that she has to go too. Also, by exiting, you indicate to her that you are a busy guy and don’t have all day to chat. Then, you set it up as a continuation of what has already been started. People are less likely to feel uncomfortable continuing something (unless she doesn’t feel comfortable around you) than they are starting something completely anew.

If you don’t get her number with this script, something is wrong with your presentation or conversational skills. Or, maybe she’s just having a bad day…

In any event - keep it simple, and just be sure to ask. And remember, if she likes you, it won’t matter how you say it. So, be sure to be playful, humorous, build a little intrigue, reveal some interesting facts about yourself…cover the basics.

Speaking of that, if you still don’t get the basics, let me suggest you take a look at my product line. My ebook How to Get A Girlfriend: The Seven Essential Skills for Attracting the Woman of Your Dreams covers all the basics, while our 7-day Audio Program, Natural Attraction takes these seven skills and expands upon them, including exercises designed to EASILY transform your dating and relationships with all people, not just women.

Otherwise, use this to your heart’s content. Unlike some of my friends, I won’t even charge you royalties to use it!

Remember to send me those questions, and write “Mailbag” in the subject line. I really thank all the guys who send me questions (I get a lot, and I appreciate ALL of them - seriously) as it lets me know what kinds of challenges you are all having, helping us to help you…

Wishing you the best,

Stephen Nash

Why Aren’t I Good With Women?
March 19th, 2007 under Inner Game. [ Comments: 2 ]

Want to know why you are unsuccessful with women?

It might masquerade as shyness, nerves, neediness, lack of style, bad breath, or body odor.

Want to know the real answer? Its simple and its true: Insecurity.

Lets accurately define security. Then, lets consider how this relates to being attractive. Lets also try to keep this simple, because this is a topic we cover at length in our products and consultations which takes time to get handled. Let me give you our definition of security: A willingness to accept myself as I am, strengths and weaknesses and then the determination to work towards a healthy ideal for myself.

A man who is secure realizes his weaknesses, and then addresses them. Some weaknesses (better known as challenges) are tougher to handle than others. A patient, deliberate effort may have to follow. If a guy has bad breath, for example, is it because he just ate a dish filled with garlic or does he suffer from gingivitis? If its the garlic causing the problem, his problem is easily remedied by a bit of time and some mouthwash. If he has gingivitis or halitosis, the challenge becomes larger and will take more time to surmount. (Although, he should carry some Cool Mint Listerine PocketPaks with him at all times)

A guy who is secure with himself likely never encounters a challenge like bad breath, or if he does, he handles it right away. An insecure guy will be too lazy to take the action, or will unconsciously reject the reality that he has bad breath. His fragile self-esteem will not accept the information, thus he continues to create bad impressions on other people due to his own unwillingness. This mini-example can translate to virtually any challenge which we encounter through our lives.

Most guys live lives that are so out of balance, that a woman might initially like you, but when she eventually sees the chaos that follows you around (whether it be bad breath, flailing friendships, insecurity, lack of focus, endless hours surfing the web, messy apartment, the list goes on) she will never really see you as a viable companion because she knows, intuitively, and biologically, that you are not a man in the truest sense. You are not someone who can provide security thus you are not attractive to her.

Here is where we separate the men from the boys. The boys right now are thinking, This is a load of BS. A bunch of feel good jargon. This will never work for me. They are right, it never will until they decide to face their lives and live like a man. A man sees this and realizes that it is time, now, to step up to the plate and take responsibility. He sees that he can get what is rightfully his. That time is now. Women are seeking a man who is secure with himself, and is able to provide it to her consistently. These men reflect it with everything they do they always seem to be in control, they are sensitive to the needs of the moment, they rise to the occasion, they have a focused purpose in their life, and are comfortable in their own skin. Their life naturally validates them internally, and thusly, they feel complete. They are attractive, naturally.

So, when you give that guy the ten magically perfect things to say to a woman, he only needs five, and even then he has overdone it.

Let me be clear, I am not saying that you have to be rich or to have fully realized all of your goals in order to be successful with women. What I am saying is that it is critical to be on the path pursuing your goals. Men who live with passion and direction are magnets for women because they are attractive. Quality women are desperate for men whose lives are focused, balanced, and filled with purpose.

In conclusion: The single most perfect piece of advice that I can give you is: You Must Get Your Life In Order And Moving Forward To Have Anything Close To A Meaningful Relationship With A Quality Woman.

Thanks for your time guys, and best of luck!

Stephen

How To Master Attraction
March 15th, 2007 under Approaching, Lifestyle, Social Skills, Testimonals, Inner Game. [ Comments: 2 ]

Would you like to have the ability to pick up almost any good-looking girl you want?

Would you like to have the ability to quickly turn on TROPHY WOMEN and in fact get them to chase after you?

I know it sounds hard to believe, but all of this could easily happen for you just 7 days from now!

Being able to pick up sexy women, the kind that makes you say, “WOW” takes skill.

Sure, you can learn a few techniques that right out the bat give you some degree of success, but as with everything in life, there are no free lunches. You’ve simply got to practice it till it becomes second nature. And for some men, this may take “longer” than it does for others.

Is it really that important to acquire mastery in the skills of picking up attractive women you truly desire? (Or even better, getting them to chase after you?)

You bet it is!

Think about it, do you really want to SETTLE for a woman that you’re not truly excited about? Do you really want to give of yourself, your time, your energy, and your money … your heart to a woman that doesn’t really fit your idea of what you’d really like? If you’re like most men, you said, “Heck, no!”

Look, the woman you pick to be with, will significantly and DRAMATICALLY affect EVERY area of your life. And being with the wrong woman, after awhile can make your life a “living hell.”

So that’s one of the key reasons why it’s so important to have mastery of skills that give you the ability to approach almost any gorgeous woman, you’re truly interested in and get her number and more importantly her FASCINATION!

Until now, to quickly master the coveted skills of attracting beautiful women was impossible. It was something you had to either be born with or something you had to pick up from an early age.

For almost all men, it’s a game of chance as to whether they’ll score with a great girl. And it’s usually the really good-looking guys, with excellent conversation and flirting skills along with a fat wallet and fancy car that get the trophy women. But now it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can literally SHORT-CUT YOUR LEARNING CURVE BY YEARS … and be on the same level, if not higher than the natural born “players!” Here’s what I have for you:

I worked for MONTHS not to mention the experience I had to gain before I could have just released my revolutionary audio training program called the “Natural Attraction”. What’s so great about this program is that, it’ll give you virtual MASTERY OF THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PICKING UP BOMBSHELL BABES in just 7 days!

You simply order this home study course, follow along with its exercises and assignments, listen to the CD’s included in the package and follow the work book and in just 7 days you will have almost no fear of devastatingly beautiful women. In fact, you’ll actually “thrive” in their presence!

Even if you’re super shy, this program will quickly transform you into the type of guy who carries himself confidently with poise and carries on exciting, and entertaining conversations with women. But it gets better.

You see, even if you’re not particularly good looking and if you don’t seem to have anything going for you … I 100% GUARANTEE the Natural Attraction 7-Day Audio Program will quickly and easily change all that.

You will become a new man. One filled with purpose, passion and poise.

Read a recent email I got from a guy just a week ago:

I really enjoyed your program. It has already helped my achieve progress in my life so thank you! I think out of all the programs I’ve purchased you’re the only one that I have purchased an attraction program though that has responded back to me and asked how I was doing, nice…

-Jared

You’ll know the jealously guarded secrets of exactly what really turns women on.

How to talk to them … what to say … and how to carry yourself. And it’s all so easy too. Anybody can do it. Even super shy men. (By the way, shy men will absolutely love this course.)

There are no “pick up lines”, mind games or anything manipulative or unethical. You will feel completely comfortable and at ease with this system.

So much so, if you were to go to a club, you would be able to approach a group of good-looking girls and engage them in a conversation that had them totally charmed by you. And that’s not an exaggeration either my friend.

Men from all backgrounds, income levels, physical attraction levels and so on have rapidly developed the ability to approach groups of good looking women and walk away with their phone numbers.

It doesn’t matter if you’re bald, overweight and have zero charisma; because the “Natural Attraction” audio program will GROOM you both internally and externally to be the kind of man women want to be physically intimate with.

You’re going to have a blast discovering what you’re personal style is.

You’ll learn how to develop your image and personal power for MAXIMUM attraction results. You’ll discover how to use your voice in a certain way that “turns women on.”

You’ll find out how to pick the clothing styles that make women at times approach you for your phone number.

You’ll discover how to easily develop a lifestyle that’s so attractive; women can’t help but throw themselves at you. In fact, you may be surprised to find you have too many women who want to date you. Again, this is not hyperbole … it’s reality.

You’ll also discover how to make men immediately pay you RESPECT.

Of course, there’s so much you will learn that you really need to see the program to understand why you must have it. Think about this …

If you’ve ever been stung by the torment of some girl leaving you or losing interest in you because a “jerk” or some “bad boy” caught her eye, this won’t happen again. Why?

It’s because Natural Attraction shows you a way to make your life so attractive to women that it’ll make the allure of a bad boy seem “Mickey Mouse” in comparison. (Hot girls will laugh at bad boys but fantasize about being with you and often approach you first when you know this system.)

And let me tell you, you can still be your same old lovable self. There’s no need to change your personality or put on a fake persona. We believe in maximizing your God-given advantages and enhancing your life in certain areas that make you absolutely irresistible to the opposite sex.

In fact, what you will learn from this course, will give you the ability to actually steal women away from jerks and bad boys if you choose. Does that sound interesting to you?

We guarantee you will never want to part with this program — it’s that good and that life changing. It’ll absolutely transform you into a WOMAN MAGNET in as little as 7 days.

So what are you waiting for?

You deserve success with women.

Essentials Seminar - Big Thanks
March 12th, 2007 under News. [ Comments: none ]

Wanted to thank everyone for coming out yesterday and joining me for an introduction to the CEIC philosophy, and an overview on the nuts & bolts on meeting women. We discussed a lot, but for those of you who missed it - here were the basic topics covered:

Security & Autonomy - the essentials to being attractive
What is your purpose? The key to unlocking the whole picture
Lifestyle - What is attractive, and how to develop an attractive lifestyle
How to lead your social circle

How to meet more women
How to meet the RIGHT women
How to Engage a woman in conversation

The highlight for me was getting into the nuts and bolts on engaging women in conversation - that’s where I give actual tested tips on what to say and how to say it. The end of this section was particular fun for me as it allowed me to deliver some newer concepts on beginning conversations, and how to improvise situational/environmental openers. We talked structure and examples…great fun.

So, that’s it from me. Just wanted to report on the program, and let guys know what we discussed. I had a blast, and met some really quality guys…until next time…

Thanks for coming!

  • Stephen Nash’s Amsterdam Lair Interview
    March 7th, 2007 under News. [ Comments: 1 ]

    I thought you all would be interested to read a recent interview I had with the Amsterdam Lair.

    How has your game evolved from where you started to where it is now?

    I guess I’ve been all the way into the “game” mentality, and now I am all the way out – with everything happening naturally, as I want it. No tricks for me anymore. I have become “socialized”, if you will. So many men who struggle with women are unsocialized, which means they haven’t a clue how to relate to others. How to display interest in a way which doesn’t cause you to look like a fool, for example. This is called flirting, but so many men simply aren’t relaxed enough to do it. The game helped me to smoothen the channels of my natural expression. It was very important to stop with anything scripted though. Unless you make this move, your skills will never fully develop into full ownership, and your relations will all flow from surface to surface only – never any deeper…

    What were turning points for you in your development as a seducer of women?

    Well, the first would be when I stumbled onto the NYC Lair here – and began to hang with other guys. I was then able to see stuff in action, and learn from others. I quickly found that I was above average. The next would be Project Hollywood – just the whole experience – it informed me in both positive and negative ways. There, it was clear what was true and false and that the game in each of us tended to come from a very painful place. The skill levels there were so high, and the stories so wild and often fun.

    Eventually, I split as it was so obvious that the promise was empty – an endless supply of women was not only improbable and immature, but also it was unhealthy. To have a real, lasting connection it was clear that a normal lifestyle – balanced, social, as well as private at times – was mandatory. Unless you’re happy, you’re not ready. I guess that would be the third and final turning point – when I realized I had to completely drop it all, and see what happens…then I could see that I learned something from all this, and it was obligatory for me to pass it on – a healthy version of what was out there.

    What subjects did you like best in school?

    Drama, philosophy, psychology. Was an actor for awhile, in school and NYC – but am mostly interested in philosophy and spiritual development now, and reading Whitman. Oh, and real estate…that proves I am American, I guess!

    Food

    Pineapples….try it, your girlfriends will thank you.

    Film

    Ulysses’ Gaze, Theo Angelopolous

    Book

    “The Looming Tower”, by Lawrence Wright – all about the origins of Al-Qaeda – extraordinary accounts of meetings/conversations etc. Really amazing, and well-written. One sees from this that the fight is against a philosophy much older than 9/11 – and to fire bombs at it is the height of silliness.

    How has seduction changed since you started? How do you think the art of seduction will look 20 years from now?

    Haha – it will be the same…always…the essential elements will, that is – we’re talking about creating an appeal to a feminine heart, from a masculine source. The dynamics of that will never change, the appearance and surface of the activity might – but never the real current. What men need is understanding of the feminine, not a bag of tricks – once you understand it, you will then have the key to relating with women. Until then, no bag of tricks can help you – though it can be a vehicle for some of the trip.

    Has PU made you a better person? In what ways?

    Definitely – more compassion for both men and women. By being in the business of teaching, it is so clear that both sides experience massive confusion, and that there is a great distance to travel before finding the right sorts of people for relationships. I am also in a position to provide something real – which is a good feeling. However, this is only after climbing out of a hole which was solely about putting numbers on the board – that’s fine for a while, but the real work begins after that.

    What effect has your “career” had on your family and personal life?

    It’s sort of a joke at the dinner table with family and friends, but then your brother or best-friend calls needing advice…so I know the score. My women friends LOVE it – and talk to me constantly about dating etc. I’ve also caught many a friend with Neil’s book on their shelf, after learning of my past. Some might think it’s a drawback in dating/relationships – and it can be, if you’re stupid. With some women, tell them right away and they are REALLY interested – others need more time – again, it’s about being socialized which takes experience.

    Did you have any special items you take with you when you travel?

    SKIP

    What have you had to sacrifice to be as good as you are?

    Nothing, as I see everything as growth – time and money were spent, and any price paid became a good lesson. The REAL price however is in learning how to check your ego and arrogance. So many guys out there really really really want an easy soft solution to this, and when they see how high the mountain is that they have to climb they either split, deny the mountain and chase after carrots, or just start climbing, accepting that really becoming good takes years of work…

    What type of advice would you give to your teenage son?

    Socialize as much as possible, and be direct with women – not rude – but direct (hell, even if you have to be rude at first…). I have decided that my boys will join a fraternity – FOR SURE. In America, this is the best training ground for socializing as an adult…yeah there’s lots of drinking…but in truth, so many valuable networks are created, you learn how to be around very attractive women, and you learn how to socialize with both men and women. As I see it, it’s a huge WIN in a guy’s development. In a way, the community fills that in for a lot of guys now, which is a good thing.

    What was your biggest fear growing up?

    Being embarrassed – which is why I’ve taken such care over the years to be intelligent socially.

    What do you think of the term “pickup artist” and do you identify with it? What other word do you think describes you better?

    I don’t identify with it – it implies sleazy, hawkish, insecure behavior. I prefer to think of myself as socially intelligent, with an eye for beauty.

    Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Give us an example of that.

    It depends on the situation. If I can help determine the outcome, I am an optimist. If I cannot, I am a pessimist…have lost faith in people over the years to live with integrity. I am not perfect in this, but I don’t expect others to have it. It helps save me from being disappointed and angry after the fact.

    How much do you think looks and social status effect one’s success? What advice can you give on dealing with that?

    Looks far less than social status. As far as looks goes, not everyone is genetically attractive, but anyone can be physically attractive. This is a principal CEIC was founded upon. Any guy can look his best…and there is never an excuse not to. I’m not talking about wearing a 3-piece suit everyday – but be smart about it, for Heaven’s sake. Social status is something that can be earned over time – whether it’s via your career, family legacy, social intelligence, whatever…this is very much under one’s control, and dare I say, impresses the ladies far more than your looks – in fact, I am VERY sure about this. However, if a woman is impressed and interested because of your status, don’t be surprised if she leaves once the market crashes…

    Do you have a pre-game rituals you follow before you go out?

    Well, I don’t sarge anymore – don’t need to/don’t want to – but when I did, I listened to Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up”.

    A lot of people equate success with sex and money. But what does success mean to you?

    Connection – that is success now…used to be the ‘result’ of sex, or a number, but now it’s all about finding ways to connect – that’s the real art of it. When to disclose, when to withhold, when to probe, when to chill, when to be vulnerable…very hard to be sensitive enough to know this.

    What are a couple of books you think every man should read? Films you think every man should see?

    Books: “How To Get A Girlfriend” by Stephen Nash (of course); “Way of the Superior Man” by David Deida; “The Red Queen” by Matt Ripley; “Story of O”; “The Collected Poems of Pablo Neruda”.

    What is the best advice someone ever gave you?

    Stop trying to hard; stop thinking so much…I venture to guess that each guy out there is mangling this one.

    What were some of the highs and lows of your career as a professional pickup artist?

    High and Low would have to be Project Hollywood – learned a lot, though we all drowned a bit in the deep end. I needed a serious break after that.

    What advice would you give people about realizing fantasies or making their dreams come true?

    Give up the fantasies and go for your dreams.

    Are there any events that changed or shaped your life?

    Being in the west village of Manhattan on 9-11…and accepting that I wanted a better life, and to make that happen slowly, deliberately, yet definitely…

    What is your latest product or workshop really about?

    Becoming a truly autonomous man with real choice and power in his life. We teach a guy how to grow up and actually become attractive, and happy. Most guys feel like they need a girl to be happy, and often this is subconscious aim – they forget to live FIRST, then let the women-thing happen…we teach this, as well as social skills – we’re not spitting out machines, we’re helping guys become men.

    What do you offer a new woman when you first meet her?

    I try to be as honest as possible. I will compliment her, for example. Interestingly, as I have become more and more centered in myself – this is all that I need to do to begin ‘something’ with her. I also let her know that I am someone with integrity – I arrive on time, for example, and I absolutely behave like a gentleman. So many guys get the horrible message thru this community that making women uncomfortable and insecure is good – this is such terrible advice. It might work on club-girls, via which most of ‘the game’ material was created, but in truth, with a real woman with a real life, it’s a lame lame move…assert yourself, learn to lead, and be honest and trustworthy – this is the real and only answer.

    Why did you get into this business?

    To try to offer a healthy alternative to what is basically bad, ‘quick fix’ advice.

    What are your future plans?

    Continue with CEIC, of course, but also to do more writing. Mostly, to carry my existing relationship into marriage, kids etc…family is the goal on this front.

    Describe your dream girl. When you meet her will you settle down and stop seducing other women? What type of girl do you take with you on a deserted island?

    Kindness, honest, strong and beautiful. I already know her, and seduce her about 5 times per week…it’s a good thing.

    What is the biggest misconception people have about you?

    I haven’t a clue.

    Take us through the process of how you seduce and bed a girl. How do you do it differently than others?

    Well, there is no formula – but one has to know the windows of opportunity, and then one has to have the courage to move through them. Basically, the structure goes like:

    Kiss
    Touch
    Intimate touch
    Sex

    These four are usually covered over two times together. Seeing these points, and having the courage to ACT is the key. You don’t need a routine or gimmick – what guys need are balls…

    What CD is playing in your version of hell?

    Phil Collins – No Jacket Required

    What are your worst — and best — personal characteristics?

    Worst – arrogance – I can be a real snob
    Best – very sensitive – harnessed well, I am very attentive and keen with others…however, it can go too far.

    What do you really think of all this…. doing this kind of stuff?

    It’s good – in moderation. If it becomes a lifestyle, as it did with me back in ProHo days, it becomes detrimental and unhealthy. Seeing women as targets is an indication that my life is a game, if my life is a game I have no chance of relating to others as equals…I have to first learn and accept that I am human, and then that is something I can have with others – this is the key, to stop being a child and start being a man – I have to see myself as human first, only then can I cease playing games and wasting time.

    Good luck!

    Mastering Your First Impression
    March 6th, 2007 under Approaching, Social Skills. [ Comments: 2 ]

    “You never get a second chance at a first impression?” How many times have you heard that expression?

    This is true whether you like it or not. From the moment a person first meets you, they form strong assumptions based solely on the way you look and present yourself. I realize that this negates all of those wonderful things you have going for you on the inside. But the reality is, my friend, a person meets the outside first - THEN the inside…

    In my experience, when a person first meets you, you will be slotted into one of three categories:

    1) Your impression is average (this is probably most of you). People will not form a strong impression of you. There is potential for you to be forgotten and fade into the crowd of everyone else. However, you are deemed suitable for continued interaction. Hopefully you can make up for lost ground in the long-run.

    2) You make a negative impression. The person who you have just met decides to keep communication with you at a minimum. It will be very difficult, if not impossible, to build a relationship with this person.

    3) You make strong first impression. Wherever you go, people take notice. You are admired and looked upon as a valuable prospect. At this point, people will work for your attention.

    Stop. Imagine walking into a room and meeting yourself for the first time. Which category would you put yourself into?

    If you’re not in that third category, you’re not doing enough. Why shortchange yourself?

    We consistently meet guys who have great personalities and have a lot going for them. These guys have a lot to offer women, but they simply have no idea how to present that in a powerful, attractive way. Mastering this would instantly help them feel better
    about themselves, and would fill them with confidence, dramatically increasing their likelihood of success!

    First impressions are basically formed through three basic channels, they are: clothing, body language, and vocal tonality.

    Do you want to make good first impressions? Do you want women to notice you, approach you, and even chase you? Want to have a successful career and social life? If so, then pay attention to these three things… and own the power of your first impression!

    The good news is that these three qualities are easily improved and you can start working on them immediately.

    The first thing to get a hold of is your style of dress and grooming. This is one area where you can really hit the cover off the ball.

    The second is body language. What does yours communicate about you?

    Do you project power and confidence? Why not?

    Keep your head held high, looking people in the eye at all times. Always hold your gaze a second longer if you happen to make eye contact.

    Never look down and away if someone addresses you or is the slightest bit intimidating. This is a sign of weakness. Pay attention to this, and eliminate this negative habit.

    Can you even picture someone as dominant as Arnold Schwarzenegger or JFK doing this? Not in a million years!

    Another trait men like this have in common is all their movement is deliberate and confident.

    You’d never see a powerful CEO making erratic gestures like biting his nails, fidgeting, or using broad hand movements to articulate his speech. Stay calm, cool, and collected.

    Avoid doing these things: always placing your hands in your pockets, constantly fixing your hair, tugging at your collar, checking your watch every minute, and scratching.

    Be precise as a lab scientist when using body language.

    Lastly, your voice. Do you stutter in situations where there is the slightest bit of pressure? Or do you project a manly, confident tone delivered slowly and smoothly.

    A weak voice is a certain sign of low self-esteem. Speak up and make yourself heard!

    When making a first impression, remember to smile. This helps your vibe become friendly, confident and approachable. People are more likely to want to talk to you if they sense they will be received well.

    With the combination of improving these three small areas, you will be well on your way to success.
