Do Nice Guys Finish Last?

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

It’s a common complaint, an annoying situation, even a man’s worst nightmare. You know what I’m talking about: When a girl you like wants to be "just friends." Aaaaargh!  Who wants that?  You like this girl, you want intimacy, but all she wants is friendship.  How do you turn things around? In short, you have […]

Book Review of “Double Your Dating,” by David DeAngelo

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Ever heard of David DeAngelo?  If you’re familiar with the seduction community, then you’ve probably seen his name.  He’s the "guru" behind such phrases as "cocky funny," "attraction is not a choice," and one of my personal favorites, "Different in a preferential way."  He’s also the author of "Double Your Dating," and the host of […]

Market Watch: How to Successfully Sell Yourself to Women

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

When it comes to attracting women, sometimes you have to think like a marketer.  You have to consider your "packaging," and the way you present your "product."  That means you have to take the time to think like the "consumers"–women–and know what they want.  Because when it comes to the world of female attraction, the customer is […]

One…and Done

I still remember getting the call, the call I knew would come but was nonetheless shocked to hear.  My friend, Johnny, after just 10 months of marriage to a girl everyone knew was wrong for him, had gotten divorced.  Instead of becoming a happily-ever-after couple, Johnny and Marissa had joined millions of other Americans and become […]

Stand By Your Woman

"The world is full of suffering. It is also full of the overcoming of it." -Helen Keller  What did we learn from 9/11?  That no one is safe from terrorism?  That the human heart is capable of everything from sick, hateful violence to brave, loving care?  That New Yorkers, when tragedy hits, aren’t such rude dirt […]

The Art of Impressing Women

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

It’s easy for us men to think that women won’t go for us unless we have a special talent.  But as Erika Jong said, "Everyone has talent.  What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." It’s true: we all have talents.  Think for a moment about a talent you […]

Where The Honeys At

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Online dating is a multi-million dollar business, but for my money, I’d rather meet girls the natural way: out and about, in real-life situations.  Not the bar, not the club.  Just natural, fun ways that get both of you participating and talking about common interests and acquaintances.   Think that’s not possible?  Au contraire. There are LOTS […]

Carlos Xuma Dating Dynamics

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Up until a few months ago, I always looked at "alpha males" in completely negative terms.  I saw them as pretentious, obnoxious, cocky and arrogant.  The only reason they got women, I thought, was because women are lame, dense, and go for pricks.  The alpha males’ success has nothing to do with them, I said, and everything to […]
