Why Pick Lines Don’t Work!

Don’t get laughed at.  You be fooling yourself if you think that’s all you gotta do to holla at these hoes.  Even if it worked and you got her attention, then what you gonna do next?

Getting with girls is all about you inside.  Have the confidence to where it’s a damn privilege to be talking to you.  Not the other way around.

It is one of the biggest problems men face with certain women. You have a female friend.  She’s hot.You would like her to be way more than just a buddy. You want to hit that.

But how? How can you approach without it being Strange?

Let’s begin by talking about what Not to do, which is what most guys do. What you need to do NOT want to do is abruptly “confess your feelings for her.”   Nor do you would like to create a sudden move and grab her or kiss her.

If you need to do that, I assure you she will tell you “I do not wish to ruin our friendship,” after which, of course the friendship will be ruined.  And you will never get to Hit it

You will need to get her to realize that you are something she could be with and this really is vitally important. Make her get some feelings that are more than just friends

So, as time passes, you would like to begin getting a small much more unavailable. You would like to be naughty, funny, playful, and you would like to touch and tease her lightly–but always take it away.

Then you want to get her to believe the concept of her dating you by saying, “To bad we can’t date, because it might ruin our friendship.”

Ladies hate to hear this just as much as men do

What will happen is, she will begin to think of you as a challenge. And women love to have challenges.  Women find that challenging males are much more appealing.  After which she will start to respond to your playful teasing only a little bit more.

You want tease and play and just do alittle more to see how far it can go and say things like  “no, we shouldn’t be doing this,” and then, lastly, allow it when it “happens”

If you listen to what a woman says when she finally receives actual with a man who was only a friend, she will constantly say, “it just happened.”

Your preparing her to say  “it” to “just occur,” without having any resistance on her part. In fact, she will think it’s her idea and that suddenly you started to be so appealing she just couldn’t resist you.

Sit back and laugh to yourself knowingly that it was your plan the whole time.

Derek Lamont is the writer of “online pick up secrets“  I had to post his great article he just sent me over.  So many of you guys make these critical mistakes and I wanted to share it to all my Alpha Males.   Post your comments and let me know what you think.

———————–

So… you’re on your favorite dating site… or maybe you’re on
Facebook…

And there she is.

The girl that catches your attention. But what do you do? Let me
tell you what 99% of guys do… they’ll message them and say
something really generic like…

“Hey! How’s it going! You look really interesting and I was
wondering if you would like to chat sometime! Hit me back!”

Or…

“Wow, you’re gorgeous. I bet you have all the guys out there
hitting on you… but hopefully this message will get through to
you because I would really like to treat you out sometime!”

Or…

“I’m the nicest guy ever if you give me the chance! You should
hit me back!”

I don’t care if you believe me – but it’s true. I guarantee you
the success rate of some of these generic messages are about near
1% if you’re lucky. And that’s if you have a really nice
profile…

So what’s the magic formula?

Well for starters…I did mention this before… you need for
PERFECT YOUR PROFILE before you get started.

Don’t message ANYONE until your online dating profile is perfect!

What do I mean by this? You need to get the right pictures and
right content in your profile. An attractive girl will not message
you back if you have NO picture and just the most generic responses
in your profile content.

Picture yourself from a girl’s perspective… you see some guy
message you on some dating website and he has NO pictures… can
you say creep?

What kind of pictures do you need to include? Typically speaking,
you need to include pictures that convey value – but not in the
way you’re thinking of… I’ll get to that a bit later.

(Or you can learn it here):

==> online pick up secrets

The second thing you need to do is READ HER PROFILE. Too many
guys fail to personalize the first message, which is critical.

There are too many cut and paste messages out there.

An attractive girl gets as many as fifty messages a day! Do you
think she’s going to have time to read all of them? Absolutely
not.

You need something that catches their attention…the easiest way
to do this is to personalize your message! More on this later…

Finally, the third thing most guys do is… write way too damn
much!

Keep the message SHORT! Again, you need to appear like a
non-creepy and non-needy guy. Again, imagine being an attractive
girl… and you literally receive a full-fledged NOVEL!
How weird is that to her? You barely know her and already you’re
willing to invest a massive amount of time for her?

She doesn’t deserve that yet.

I give you all the tips you need on my website! So you’re in
luck.

Go check them out right now at

==> online pick up secrets

You won’t be disappointed.

One from the most powerful and least used attraction techniques would be to be a great story teller. Women love the Alpha Males who can tell a great story,and make them laugh, even when they shouldn’t.

But most alpha males aren’t great story tellers, even when it is a learnable skill. What do they do incorrect?

They just simply give up because they believe their stories are boring. You see, details engage the thoughts, and concentrate it on what you are saying. Then, the woman you’re telling the story to can really “see” herself getting there.

For example,  I can tell a story about how I ate a really nice chocolate dessert for dinner last night.

But if I say, “The chocolate dessert was so good that I felt like I had an explosion of joy in mouth and can feel the goodness going down my throat’”

What’s the distinction within the mental images that come to your thoughts whenever you examine the above statements back to back? They’re vastly different, and 1 is significantly more detailed than the other.

Not just that, in the second description I use colorful, “story informing language”– you receive the idea there’s a lot more to come, and you want to know more about Bob and his obvious misadventures. Story informing is a really powerful attraction technique. Women adore males who can make them laugh on a constant and constant foundation, and very few men can. Story informing can also be a great vehicle for introducing sexual innuendo and obtaining women to believe such thoughts and link them to you.

Also, it’s a hell of a great deal of enjoyable. When you get great at informing stories, not only does your audience laugh, you laugh as well. All of a sudden attraction becomes a great deal of enjoyable, and it gets a lot easier. Allow it to be a stage to master the art of story telling… it will provide you with an unfair advantage over other Beta Males

I know there is always lots of hype from these young rappers that claim to be a pimp.  Lets be real.  Pimping ain’t about making it rain.   That ain’t pimpin that’s simpin.  Let me repeat you might call yourself a pimp because you got lot of girls, but your simp if you spend money on these hoes.  So guess who just got pimped!!!  LOL, these hoes are the real the pimps for taking your cash out your pockets.

So now lets get back to the roots and find out how the pimp game really goes down.  So let me share with you a guy named Iceberg Slim.

From Wikipedia:

Best known as an author of gritty tales of street life and hustling, Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck) sold over six million copies of his books, the most popular being Pimp: The Story of My Life. Since many authors before him had seen fit to record and release spoken word albums, Slim followed suit in 1976 with Reflections, which found him reciting his lurid vignettes over suitably funky backing from the Red Holloway Quartet. The street-tough pimp persona projected by Slim proved highly influential to hip-hop, especially two artists who paid tribute to him through their own names, Ice-T and Ice Cube. Slim passed away in 1992 at the age of 73.

So you wanna find out how the real pimp game is?  Wanna know why people like ICE-T and Bishop Magic Don Juan honors.

Quotes from Iceberg Slim’s book:

A good pimp doesn’t get paid for screwing. He gets his pay-off for always having the right thing to say to a whore right on lightning tap. I knew my four whores were flapping their ears to get my reaction to this beautiful bitch. A pimp with an overly fine bitch in his stable has to keep his game tight. Whores constantly probe for weakness in a pimp.

I fitted a scary mask on my face and said, in a low, deadly voice, “Bitch, are you insane? No bitch in this family calls any shots or muscles me to do anything. Now take your stinking yellow ass upstairs to a bath and some shut-eye. Get in the street at noon like I told you.”

A pimp must be skilled at playing on a woman’s vulnerabilities. In fact, he assesses her psychological state to determine if she is a good candidate for exploitation. The true talents of a pimp however, are in his ability to keep his women happy, command money, and portray a deep mysterious and somewhat mean demeanor about him, one that conveys the message not to cross him. He is then said to be “cold-blooded,” able to turn off any warm feelings and loving affection in exchange for certain emotional and physical cruelty

There are several rules that one must be willing to follow in order to be a successful pimp. The most paramount rule in the pimping game is, “the pimp must get paid”. This means there can’t be any “shame in your game

THis is some beautiful pimp shit. So i highly recommend you check out his book. PIMP: The story of my life. It’ll change the way you think about your approach with women.  This is what I mean when I talk about the ALPHA MALE type shit.

You want to buy a new ride?  Thinking about trading in that clunker.  Tired of your talking about your hooptie?

Well if you thinking about buying a car then now is the best time to buy.  Most dealers are trying to get rid of their 2009 year inventory to make room for the 2010.  On top of that some of these dealers haven’t met their end of year sales goal.  All this means is that you as  a buyer has the upper hand.  It’s time to get busy.  Read over these tips to prepare yourself in getting the best possible deal on your brand new whip.

1. Get a second opinion for the hype. Used car dealers will bombard you with every adjective under the book to sell you on a car—sporty, thrifty, fast, and etc. Don’t take their word for it. Instead, find someone you know, whether a neighbor, a colleague, a family member, or a friend, who owns the same make and model of the vehicle, and ask them for their opinion.

2. Do a background check. One of the most unethical, but legal, things someone can do to you is sell you a used car that’s been in a flood (and sort of repaired), or one that’s had 10 previous owners (none of whom repaired it). To be sure you don’t fall victim to this, track down a history report, including a clearance check on the vehicle title. You can even get some of this information from the seller, simply by asking why they are selling it. You’d be surprised what beans people may spill.

3. Examine for past damage. Used car dealers may also try to peddle a vehicle that was wrecked in a major accident. It’s amazing what autobody experts can do to repair a car’s exterior. So don’t go by the outer appearances of a vehicle. Before you buy it, make sure that it does not have serious damage to its frame, which it would have if it was involved in a crash.

4. Call up your trusted mechanic. Used car dealers, especially the big lots, will say they put their used cars through a “100 point inspection,” or something like that. Once again, a second opinion is in order. Get this one from your own mechanic. He’ll be able to tell how good a shape the car actually is in. Also be sure to ask him or her how often the car had been serviced. A good mechanic can even gauge that.

5. Research for recalls. Needless to say, a used car dealer may sell you a car that’s actually under recall in his mad rush to get the car off his lot. So be sure to call the car manufacturer, or visit their Web site, to see if the vehicle has any active recalls.

6. Avoid the leftover lemon. Along with recalled vehicles, dealers may even perpetrate something much worse on you—sell you a lemon. (By definition, a lemon is a car that’s still under warranty, which has such major problems that, warranty or not, it still cannot be fixed in a reasonable way.) The best way to avoid this is to research in Consumer Reports or the various automobile magazines, which all have yearly reviews of every make and model on the market. They’ll tell you whether a kind of car is known for being a lemon and prone to breakdowns.

7. See through the old paint and bait. Along with performing their “100 point inspection,” car dealers may shine and wax a used car—even repaint it—to hide dents, dings, and rust spots. A keen eye, though, can see right through this.

8. Take the test drive. Once you’ve done all your research, homework, extra credit, and everything else called for in the first seven steps, then comes the fun—the test drive. Drive the car for as long as its owner or dealer will allow you. Then you’ll get a better feel for how the vehicle handles, accelerates, brakes, and otherwise suits your tastes (or doesn’t).

9. Be wary of the pushy seller. At any stage of the game—from the moment you first talk to the seller to the test drive—be careful if the seller gets pushy. Any dealer or seller who is in a rush to move a vehicle should set off bells and whistles. Why the rush? Are they hiding something? In some cases the seller may just be excited to sell you the car—and actually happy for you—but in many other cases, they may be up to something. Better be safe than sorry.

Remember your the alpha male, the king of the jungle.  You make sure that you leave happy and satisfied.

And Finally don’t be afraid to “WALKAWAY” if you have to.

Many people believe that the art of flirting is something that you either have or you don’t. This isn’t true at all. The art of flirting is something, which can be mastered by anyone with an interest in learning how to flirt. It’s a practice-makes-perfect skill, which is learned from the inside out. Everyone masters the art of flirting differently, but there are some basics of the art of flirting which might help you to find the flirt within and bring her out to play.

The first thing to know about the art of flirting is that it’s something, which can be done by anyone. You don’t need to be the most attractive person in the room (and beauty is a subjective quality anyone) and you don’t have to be the smartest, most athletic or most outgoing either. The art of flirting is designed to bring out the wonderful qualities that are unique about you and to let them shine so that others can be drawn to them. In this way, the art of flirting begins from the inside. Knowing the qualities you like about yourself and using them as a basis, the art of flirting is an art of quiet confidence.

But you want to know what to do to let others know that you’re a terrific person right? The art of flirting is an art, which is primarily non-verbal. They say that the eyes are the keys to the soul and you should use yours as a starting point for the art of flirting. Have you ever been glancing around a room, bored and disinterested in what was going on around you when a stranger caught your gaze and held it for a few moments? For most people, this causes the heart to race and the mind to start whirring, wondering what it was about them that caught someone’s attention. People are drawn to others who are attracted to them and you can convey your interest at many levels with the different types of looks you give to people. The art of flirting will incorporate many different types of gazes. If you are in a public setting and just want to catch the eye of a stranger, meeting their gaze and holding it for a few seconds then letting it go followed by meeting it again is the best method. This quickly conveys that you are interested in flirting with them and you will be able to tell from their reaction whether or not they share your interest. More aggressive flirting is done through giving the object of flirtation a look, which says, “I am thinking dirty things about you”. Sometimes this is done with a lingering gaze, sometimes with an up-and-down-the-body glance and sometimes with a stare, which suggests that you are hungry and looking to devour them.

In addition to eye contact, the art of flirting makes use of other types of body language. Positioning your body in such a manner that shows you are open to communication is crucial to the art of flirting. Touching the other person is also a big part of the art of flirting, but it should be done cautiously. You should read the other person’s body language to determine whether they are welcoming the signals you are sending out. You’ll be able to tell if it’s appropriate to touch their arm or lean your leg against theirs while talking. The art of flirting consists of a combination of conveying your intentions while reading the signals of the other person. A successful combination of these two things which stems from a foundation of casual confidence in your own self worth makes the art of flirting enjoyable and fun.

Watch out for lies when online dating. There are certain things which people commonly lie about within their profile. The most common include: Height, weight, age, and occupation. Also be aware that people may embellish a little bit about themselves to make themselves sound better. For example, they may over exaggerate their travel experience, college education, etc… As mentioned before, even some pictures can’t be trusted. Some people use old photos of themselves because they looked better back then. Most important, be aware that some people lie about their relationship status. Married people have been known to state they are single on online dating sites.

Be careful about sharing your email As mentioned, most online dating sites allow you to use an anonymous internal communication system. Make sure you take full advantage of that. If you do start to feel comfortable with someone and would like to share an email address with them, don’t use your regular email address. Set up a free email address that you use strictly for your online dating activities. You can easily obtain one through yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc…

Be careful about sharing your personal information It’s easy to get sweptup and excited about the possibility of a new romance. However, the anonymous nature of online dating sites makes it just as (if not) more important than ever to protect your personal information. Don’t share your full name. Never give out the details of exactly where you work, or go to school. You can say something like “I work at a major downtown law firm.” If they ask, “Which one?” Just politely tell them you’d rather not say until you get to know them a little better. Most people will understand and respect your decision to not share. Don’t ever give out your address. Be very careful about giving out your telephone number. This is especially true of your cell phone number.

Don’t get too serious too fast It’s best to just keep things on the lighter side for a little while when you first meet someone from an online dating site. Keeping things friendly and light will help you to get to know the other person a lot better than just diving into a relationship.
Using an online dating service will help you to find your ideal person for a relationship. By using it to its full potential you won’t have to just “settle” for someone.Unfortunately, there are some people of questionable character in this world. You’re just as likely to meet someone who is up to no good at the gym, bar/club, or even at work as you are at an online dating site. The only difference with online dating sites is the level of anonymity that is provided for users. It’s a dual edge sword. It helps protect the innocent and allows those of dubious character to get away with a little more. These pitfalls and dangers weren’t mentioned to scare you. Online dating sites provide safe, fun, and exciting ways to meet people. Just keep these tips in mind and use common sense. The majority of people on online dating sites are legitimately searching for someone they can connect with, have fun with, and maybe even fall in love with. Maybe that special person they’re waiting for is you!
