Advice Would You Give To Men Starting Out With Women?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>How much experience with women do you have -honestly?<\/p>\n<p>Have you had your share of girlfriends?\u00a0 Maybe\u00a0even been married before?\u00a0 Would you say that\u00a0there&#8217;s not much about women that surprises you\u00a0anymore?<\/p>\n<p>If you answered yes, then I want you to try and\u00a0think back a LOOOONG time ago, back to when you\u00a0had no CLUE about women.<\/p>\n<p>You know what I&#8217;m talking about: the days when\u00a0you used to watch dirty movies just to get an idea\u00a0of what it was all about, or the day you\u00a0discovered your dad&#8217;s stash of Victoria&#8217;s Secret\u00a0catalogues.<\/p>\n<p>You figured you were pretty smart\u00a0 until the day\u00a0you met an actual woman and realized that the\u00a0camera lens is pretty distorting.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we&#8217;ve got two readers here who are STILL\u00a0stuck at that stage of having no idea what being\u00a0with a woman is like.\u00a0 They&#8217;ve read enough,\u00a0watched enough, imagined enough, but they&#8217;re still\u00a0single and experience-less.<\/p>\n<p>What advice would YOU offer them?\u00a0 What do you\u00a0wish you knew THEN that you know NOW?<\/p>\n<p>We all have a duty to pass on tried-and-true\u00a0wisdom to those guys who are just starting out,\u00a0because, if you were anything like me, you\u00a0believed a lot of STUPID things that could have\u00a0been set right if you just had someone to ask.<\/p>\n<p>So whether you&#8217;ve had tons of experience with\u00a0women or not, check out what I have to say to\u00a0these two readers, and ask yourself the question:\u00a0is there anyone I know RIGHT NOW who could benefit\u00a0from some mentoring in this area?<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION #1: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all the\u00a0great advice and good work and all that, but hey I\u00a0was just wondering what advice you&#8217;d give to a guy\u00a0who has never even had a relationship before and\u00a0has no idea of even where to start.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve like kissed 2 girls in my life and I live\u00a0in a really old fashioned kind of place where\u00a0there are no bars or clubs and you can&#8217;t even\u00a0visit a girl at her house without her mom checking\u00a0up on her every 5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><em>I try to learn as much as I can so that I&#8217;m\u00a0ready for the real deal but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m ever\u00a0going to get to put it all into practice unless I\u00a0leave this hole and move somewhere else where I&#8217;m\u00a0the new guy and no one knows me.\u00a0 Do you have any\u00a0advice for me like should I try to meet older\u00a0women? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>MY RESPONSE: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hey dude, thanks for writing.\u00a0 You know, not\u00a0having had a relationship before is nothing to be\u00a0ashamed about.\u00a0 Some guys have their first\u00a0girlfriend at 8, some at 16, and others at 22.\u00a0Basically, it happens when it&#8217;s right.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re making one big mistake, and that is:\u00a0you&#8217;ve basically GIVEN UP.\u00a0 You&#8217;re pinning all\u00a0your hopes on leaving your hometown.\u00a0 Pinning your\u00a0hopes on the future is the best way of making sure\u00a0the present sucks.\u00a0 Personally, I&#8217;d rather live my\u00a0life NOW than wait for some imaginary future\u00a0utopia.<\/p>\n<p>You should be practicing your seduction skills\u00a0right here, right now, right under the noses of\u00a0all those mothers checking up on their daughters.<\/p>\n<p>But to do that, you&#8217;ve got to expand what you\u00a0think of as &#8220;seduction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seduction starts way before the first kiss.\u00a0Seduction is basically a process of making a girl\u00a0so hot for you that she&#8217;ll find ways to sneak out\u00a0with you behind the bushes if she has to.\u00a0 Where\u00a0there&#8217;s a will, there&#8217;s a way.<\/p>\n<p>When you seduce a girl, you can use verbal and non-verbal body language to communicate a strong\u00a0sexual presence WITHOUT needing to even touch her.<\/p>\n<p>So work on those skills that you can practice\u00a0right now.\u00a0 Work on building up the confidence to\u00a0approach and talk to any girl.<\/p>\n<p>Work on building up your conversational skills, like\u00a0storytelling, humor, and teasing.\u00a0 Work on developing\u00a0a powerful physical presence.\u00a0 Become that guy that\u00a0women desire.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t need bars or clubs for that.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got an advantage that most guys don&#8217;t,\u00a0and that is: you&#8217;re living in an &#8220;old fashioned\u00a0place&#8221; where &#8211; correct me if I&#8217;m wrong here &#8211; the\u00a0girls are probably CRAVING excitement and a taste\u00a0of danger!<\/p>\n<p>If there are no bars and clubs, I&#8217;m betting that\u00a0there are a LOT of bored girls sitting around\u00a0waiting for someone exciting to come along.<\/p>\n<p>That could be you, man.<\/p>\n<p>All it takes is reframing your perspective.<\/p>\n<p>REFRAMING is one of the most powerful mind\u00a0tools available to us.\u00a0 When you &#8220;reframe&#8221;\u00a0something, you put it in a new context that allows\u00a0you to see advantages and opportunities you never\u00a0saw before.<\/p>\n<p>For example, for you, your hometown is an\u00a0old-fashioned &#8220;hole&#8221; where you can&#8217;t score.<\/p>\n<p>But, for someone else, your hometown might be the\u00a0biggest jackpot of opportunity out there, because<br \/>\n(1) there&#8217;s not much competition,<br \/>\n(2) women are gagging for some excitement, and<br \/>\n(3) there&#8217;s not much else to distract them.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all in the eye of the beholder, and my\u00a0advice to you would be to put on new glasses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION #2: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;ve gone through every part of your course and\u00a0I&#8217;m really clear in my head about who I am and\u00a0what I want, but the thing is that right now I&#8217;d\u00a0just settle for anything because I&#8217;m sick and\u00a0tired of being the &#8220;friend.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I started online dating three months ago, and\u00a0every single time I liked a girl we ended up being\u00a0friends.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a new thing, because back as\u00a0far as I can remember I&#8217;ve always ended up being\u00a0friends with the girls I really liked, and the one\u00a0time I told a girl how I really felt about her she\u00a0was really nice about it then didn&#8217;t write me\u00a0back.<\/p>\n<p><em>The upshot is that I&#8217;ve never had a girlfriend,\u00a0which I know is like admitting I&#8217;m a midget or\u00a0some kind of freak.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sick and tired of it and\u00a0I want to change but damned if I know how. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>MY RESPONSE: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your letter, buddy.\u00a0 That&#8217;s great\u00a0that you&#8217;ve gone through the course diligently,\u00a0because it shows that you&#8217;re committed to learning\u00a0everything you can about women.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of guys just focus on learning ONE thing,\u00a0because they think that THAT is what&#8217;s holding\u00a0them back, but they don&#8217;t realize that all aspects\u00a0of their life work together as part of one\u00a0integrated whole.<\/p>\n<p>If, for example, a guy thinks that his problem\u00a0is running out of things to say &#8211; so he completely\u00a0skips over the section on identity &#8211; he&#8217;ll totally\u00a0miss out on the point that someone who&#8217;s fully\u00a0developed their identity will naturally have more\u00a0interesting things to say!<\/p>\n<p>From your letter, though, I think there&#8217;s a\u00a0pretty obvious pattern going on.\u00a0 Something in the\u00a0way you&#8217;re relating to women automatically pegs\u00a0you as &#8220;friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And it seems to be a pretty immediate thing: if girls\u00a0you&#8217;re meeting for the first time offline are putting\u00a0you in the &#8220;just friends&#8221; category, then you&#8217;re giving\u00a0off that vibe from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>My suggestion to you would be to:<br \/>\n(1) get over your obsession with being &#8220;friends&#8221; with<br \/>\nwomen,<br \/>\n(2) get over your self-judgment, &#8217;cause you&#8217;re NOT<br \/>\na midget or freak, and<br \/>\n(3) start studying what it means to be a MAN.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I mean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 Get over your obsession with just being<br \/>\nfriends. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What I mean here is that obviously you&#8217;re\u00a0saying yes to being friends with all these women!<\/p>\n<p>If a woman tells you,<em> &#8220;Let&#8217;s just be friends,&#8221;<\/em> tell\u00a0her,<em> &#8220;Thanks, but I&#8217;m more interested in meeting a\u00a0romantic partner at this point in my life than\u00a0having more friends.\u00a0 Good luck!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Or, for that matter, just agree and then don&#8217;t\u00a0contact her again.\u00a0 Whatever works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t keep making friends with more and more\u00a0women.\u00a0 Got me?\u00a0 The reason is that you&#8217;re\u00a0TRAINING YOURSELF to become friends with women.<\/p>\n<p>The more female friends you make, the more you&#8217;re\u00a0going to see yourself as the type of guy who ends\u00a0up with a dozen female friends but zero female\u00a0lovers.<\/p>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s going to feel weird letting women\u00a0down when they say, &#8220;Let&#8217;s just be friends,&#8221; but\u00a0trust me: if they&#8217;re saying that, they could\u00a0really care less whether you stay friends or not.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t clutter up your life with a lot of women who\u00a0aren&#8217;t going to enrich your life much anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Get over your self-judgment. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a big one, sorry to say.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t\u00a0really care whether you&#8217;ve slept with 100 girls,\u00a010 girls, or 0 girls.\u00a0 It shouldn&#8217;t matter to you,\u00a0either.\u00a0 Get over your lack of experience, because\u00a0that&#8217;s messing up your head.<\/p>\n<p>The minute you start judging yourself for some\u00a0perceived lack is the minute that your\u00a0shortcomings become a real issue in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Look, some guys out there are majorly short, but\u00a0because they don&#8217;t look down on themselves as\u00a0&#8220;midgets&#8221; (Sean Stephenson, anyone?), they don&#8217;t\u00a0find their height to be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, your lack of experience has become a\u00a0major issue for you, but YOU&#8217;VE made it that way.<\/p>\n<p>Take responsibility, and get over it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n3.\u00a0 Study what it means to be a MAN. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve met a LOT of guys who can&#8217;t get past the\u00a0friends zone with girls.\u00a0 And you know what?\u00a0 9\u00a0out of 10 times, it&#8217;s because these guys think the\u00a0way to get closer to a girl is act more like a\u00a0girl.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s weird, and I don&#8217;t really get it, but I\u00a0suppose for some guys it makes sense.\u00a0 If you\u00a0don&#8217;t have anything to talk about with girls, it\u00a0makes sense to brush up on your celebrity gossip,\u00a0recognition of clothing labels, and familiarity\u00a0with face creams.<\/p>\n<p>But really &#8230; is that making yourself into an\u00a0attractive guy, or is that just making yourself\u00a0into her best male friend?<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not saying that I personally know what\u00a0the definition of manhood is.\u00a0 It&#8217;s something that\u00a0every guy really develops for himself.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;d recommend reading a couple of the\u00a0really good books out there discussing what being\u00a0a man is all about.\u00a0 You&#8217;ve heard me recommend\u00a0David Deida&#8217;s<em> &#8220;The Way of the Superior Man.&#8221; <\/em>Another good one is Steve Biddulph&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Manhood.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>And take it from me: if you&#8217;ve made the\u00a0commitment and purchased some of my stuff,\u00a0you&#8217;re probably not far off your goal.<\/p>\n<p>Your biggest challenge is going to be breaking\u00a0the habits that you&#8217;ve built up over time and\u00a0really relaxing into the identity that you&#8217;ve\u00a0developed through my Make Her Crave You\u00a0course.<\/p>\n<p>And if you haven&#8217;t seen what it&#8217;s all about,<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/attractwomen\">Click here to
