Women Can Talk, Men Just Can't Listen?
Men think that all the communication is in words that come out of his mouth. It is a fact that words only account for 7% of the communication piece. 93% of our communication is through body language and tone of voice.
Women are physically attracted to a man that walks tall, with his shoulders back and head up always. This shows a sense of confidence that have in everything they do. In fact, this is doing yourself a favour as well, by doing this you actually will feel confident and attractive. This aura of confidence is what women seek in the man the want.
Most men and women for that matter make the mistake of looking away when they suddenly realize that a person of the opposite sex is looking at them. This is good, because to set yourself apart from all the other men around, your only job is to then maintain eye contact if you sense a women looking at you. Maintaining eye contact does not mean to start at her 24/7. Its just that slight eye contact hold with a subtle smile at her. This lets her know that she is dealing with one solid, confident and powerful man that can take her and melt her. She is now attracted to you without needing to even say anything. You are no longer the chaser but the selector now. You have swapped positions.
Rejection is a powerful perception always lingering in the back of a man’s mind when it comes to women. Thus men try to fully read a woman before making his move just to be sure. This is a waste of time and energy. If a woman is friendly towards you, ask her for her contact details or even better, ask her for a date right their and then. This will show your confidence towards her and she will be naturally attracted towards you. If you are alone on a walk and you can feel there is a strong chemistry between the two of you, reach over and just give a slight peck on the forehead or cheek. This will catch her by surprise in a good way. She will feel good even though she will try her best to hold it back. Always move forward. This gradually builds up your confidence around women.
Although it was previously mentioned that words only make up a small portion of the overall communication, it is still important that we learn to use the language and talk to a woman to stimulate her imagination. Women use their imagination far more than a man does and if you can trigger her imagination of you kissing and caressing her, she cannot tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined. Either way, she’s feeling it and she’ll die to want that physical touch because she’s already felt it.
Combine body posture, eye contact, with words you say and tone of voice into your overall communication arsenal and you will attract all the women you can handle. Imagine the confidence you radiate within your environment!
In the mean time, Good Luck!

Seducing A Woman Within Five Minutes Of Meeting Her
Are you the sort of guy who never gets lucky? It doesn't matter how romantic the restaurant or how stunning the sunset, every date you go on ends with a peck on the cheek and the news that you're “just like a brother�
You can't understand it. You meet these great girls, you pluck up the courage to ask them out and they obviously like you enough to say yes. But by the end of the evening whatever attraction they may have felt has melted down into nothing more than friendship.
You don't know where you're going wrong.
But I do.
You see, while you may instantly like the looks of someone, genuine attraction takes a little longer to form. Connections are based on more than a nice suit and some good manners, and if all you've got to offer is pleasant conversation you're never going to get a girl excited.
But I'm here to help. There are all sorts of tricks you can use to get and keep a girl's attention, and I'm about to tell you some of the best.
Remember that the first date is like an audition. Whether you're after one night of fun or something more long term, you need to convince this chick that you know how to treat her right. Hold doors open for her, take her coat, and insist upon footing the bill. Don't compliment her upon her physical attributes, but do admire her clothes, her choice of wine or her graceful way of walking.
Make your body language work for you. If you don't seem sure you deserve her attention, she'll become certain you don't. Present yourself as a calm and confident man by maintaining eye contact, resisting the urge to fiddle, and talking in a low, clear tone.
Listen to what she's saying and be genuine with your reactions. Girls can spot a fake grin a mile off, so keep your smiles and your laughter natural. Look for common interests and shared beliefs; being able to enthuse about the same films, music or sports will create an instant connection.
More importantly, keep the conversation light hearted. You want her to view you as a source of fun, not her new confidant, so if she starts to share her worries and woes with you steer the conversation back onto happier topics. Likewise, keep your own dilemmas to yourself �" neurotic men do not come across as sexy; mysterious men do.
There's little more attractive to a woman than knowing you're really into her, but rather than simply blurting it out, use a few clever body language tricks to let her know you like her. Turn your shoulders and knees so you're fully facing her, glance at her lips and, if there's a table between you, place your hands on top of it. Find excuses to reach out and touch her. Start by brushing your hand against hers when you're emphasizing a point. As the night goes on, touch her arm and, later, her knee. She'll soon start thinking about other forms of physical contact with you.
There's a fine line between friendly conversation and effective flirting. By following the tips above, you can keep on the right side of it and grab her attention. Keep the evening fun, the talk upbeat and your focus firmly upon her, and you can ensure that you need never end another date by agreeing to just be friends.

She is Testing You - Retaliate Now
Women test men all the time. Even if none of men like this, we all know that we can't live without them. So, hating women or trying to live without them is not viable solution. The best thing we can do is to accept that they do and will test us.
''The test'' is that unexpected, unexplained, quirky situation inflicted on a man by a woman in a relationship. Women love to test men by throwing obscure theoretical questions, and especially to judge them. They usually like to test men, who are interested in, for whom they feel some attraction. They try to tell things about men by observing certain aspects of their behavior, or telling them things and judging them according on how they react.
Women test men because they need to quickly figure out what they're dealing with, and they can't expect a man to be straight up and honest about his strengths and weakness. Women are attention-seekers in constant need of reassurance and affirmation that someone cares for them and wants to protect them. They need to know that you'll set limits that you'll stand up for yourself, this making them feel safe. It gives them the reassurance that you are strong enough and confident enough to fight back when you are provoked and that you are capable of protecting them from danger.
They test us to see how strong emotionally we are, how smart we are, or enjoy to make men feel uncomfortable. So, even if she has a high interest in you, even she is always sweet, loving and giving person, she will always feel the need dig any question. A healthier attitude is to love and enjoy women for all their great qualities, while learning to deal with their tests.
But, from where you can know when you are tested? First you should ask yourself if the event makes sense in the context of the situation; if the answer is no, then you are probably being tested. How they do this? Here are some examples:
-she likes to flirt with another man in front of you - the best thing you can do is to ignore it when it happens; you can start by chatting evenings with other women or friends of her; this will cool her off, and she will change this habit
-she cancel your meeting in the last minute- this is very disappointing because you are ready to walk out the door and only then she tells you she is not coming anymore; you can prevent this from the beginning by telling her that you hate girls which cancel dates; but sometimes she may have a good reason to cancel the meeting
-she likes to turn you on while making out, just to see if you respect her ; best you can do is to stay calm, relax, don't sulk or push it; if she sees you are cool about it and you aren't stressed, you will see that she'll likely relaxed and you have pass the test;
-also there are times when women confuse men , act evasive and feign disinterest in order to try to communicate to men, because they don't like to be taken for granted, being scared to not have their heart broken by a man.
There are times when a woman is testing you intentionally or unintentionally. When she makes it intentionally she will do or say something as an attempt to bait man into reacting to her; she wants to find out if you have a strong reality and identity; she might be acting like ignoring you, teasing you about a flaw you have, trying to make you jealous and so on. So use your own discretion and don't react to her too quickly. She might test you unintentionally, but your reactions will be judged; she has desire to be validated for her beauty and a yearning for the rush to chasing a man who is a prize; so you have to show her you have a strong reality and identity, to not validate her too much so that she'll be satisfied; give her just enough to keep her waiting, reaching and chasing you for more of it.
Now you know that any woman will test you. All you have to do is to accept that, and learn how to deal with. For dealing with any type of test you have to have the necessary tools; if you have these, you may use all these tests to your advantage.

Match Your Pace & How to Avoid the Big Trap - Dating Advice for Men
One of the most recurring mental blocks men face before they date is their eagerness to plunge into a deep, stable and unbreakable relationship. We must realize that men and women think, act and decide differently. Women thoroughly relish the long swelling waves of romancing that go up and down in their minds. They feel completely absorbed, engulfed and rejuvenated while going through the rigmarole of emotional upheavals. On the contrary, men like less drama, less of emotional splurge and more of stability, sailing in tranquility of a rock-steady relationship.
What is the result of this mismatch of perspectives? You rush in and latch on to the woman of your life - as if there is no tomorrow - and the woman is viewing it totally differently. She visualizes pain before pleasure. Spends time thinking of what holds in future, thereby neglecting how she can hold on to the present. Exclusivity, monogamy - women yearn for that - but all at the pace which she sets. The course and speed of the game is decided by her.
It is therefore important to appreciate that both men and women respond to different emotional clocks when it comes to developing a relationship; the sense of timing is mutually exclusive. The Big Trap is just this. You are in a hurry to grab, and eventually fall out of the race - for no fault of yours. Happening mostly to men who are a "One Woman Man" and who date infrequently, women also are frequent victims of the Big Trap, for they also wish to become a "One Man Woman" and are monogamous by nature. Yet men who are cool about meeting and dating many women - which I sincerely plead you to follow - hardly fall into the Big Trap.
Your earnest desire is to bring an end to this tempestuous "affair" associated with dating and stabilize the relationship - none of the wildness of dating makes you happy - you want to go steady with a single woman. Reasons are aplenty for such behavior from men - seeking immediate but temporary monogamy. Definitely, a faulty understanding of women and wrong assumptions of their minds and beliefs is surely one of the main ones.
One more reason why men want to move fast is their restlessness to delve into the "unknown". They hate to be kept in the dark for too long. The eternal question: will she agree to sex, won't she agree to sex, bores and irritates the man. And with every passing day, the curiosity increases. If only such men knew the pleasures of a single man, without any holdings, free of emotional baggage - they would never get so stagnated and close all doors to glorious opportunities, that lie hidden.
So what happens when you are a victim of The Big Trap? You need to have a steady and stable relationship, as discussed above. As you carry on meeting women, your adrenalin rises to a peak, you get emotionally charged, yet with the lack of proper knowledge or understanding of the woman's nature and expectations, you fall flat. You gradually start to lose ground. That affects your own sense of pride, self esteem. You start thinking romancing is a self-defeating exercise.
This is where a vicious cycle sets in. The more you lose out on women, the more you start hating not only yourself, but women too. The Loser Boy visits you often in your thoughts and dreams. It becomes impossible for you to improve upon your attitudes and behavior because remember: failure breeds failure, exactly the way success does. The miserable feeling amongst single men, is inevitable.
Or, perhaps you might date for a little while, find someone who doesn't quite enthrall you, but you settle for the "second best" so to speak. Over a period of time, you start to realize, much to your disappointment, that you have settled for mediocrity - neither did you want this kind of woman, nor did you deserve her type. She, in turn gets more and more possessive - because she is also perhaps going through the same emotional drill as you are - settling for the "second best". Physically may be together, but mentally, you are far, far apart.
This kind of negativity overwhelms you and since the very nature of such emotional upheavals is cyclical, it gets repeated over and over again. By now you would have already developed a fixed mindset: "Want to Get out of this soonest" - this very attitude destroys you further. The more you hate the concept of dating and meeting women, you are trying to evade the very process designed to improve your expertise in the area and bring about mental stability. It is time you thought like: "So many women, so little time", as the wider and broader you make your choices, the more your chances of meeting many, many women.
Unless you broaden your horizon about women and dating, falling into the Big Trap will remain inevitable. Make women an "add on" to your otherwise glorious life, rather than the "end all and be all" of it. Don't make her the reason for your existence - rather a small part of your existence. To ingratiate yourself with this kind of mental outlook is first, gather information (get empowered with knowledge), second, take the right decisions (act on the knowledge) and third, bask in the glory of your well-deserved success. Change the way you thought and acted till now, and be the man of your dreams, the man you always wanted to be.

The Alluring Impression of Men's Sounds & Smells - the Naked Truth in Dating
Personal hygiene and many of our mannerisms - we somehow take these aspects too much for granted. I am including this topic here primarily because I realize that too many of us are not even aware that certain very subtle signals that we give out in terms of sounds and smells, play a very important role in making us attractive or otherwise. For instance, here are a few voluntary and involuntary sounds we make, which are terribly disgusting to women and make us very unacceptable to them:
* Burping: Yes, it happens normally after a heavy meal. But refrain, even at the most casual get-togethers. If you find it coming, excuse yourself politely and go out and release yourself.
* Snorting, snoring and other throat related noises: Control them or cure them. They act as lady-repellants.
* Farting: Disgusting, yet such a natural physiological phenomenon. And it is controllable - through proper medication and diet control. Just a wee bit of care for your health, and you can manage to evade this horrible event.
* Breath: This is important. You can check if you have bad breath just by licking your skin or smelling your saliva. Always carry mouth-fresheners or chew mint occasionally (not gum).
* Foot odor: It can be so obnoxious that you can throw an entire roomful of people out, the moment you open your shoes. Guys, change your socks regularly and use shoe deodorizers. They are easily available.
The other very successful and popular lady-repellant is your body odor (B.O in short). If you do not want ladies (except those living in underdeveloped countries) to appear within a mile radius, go ahead and stay with your B.O. Guys, have a good bath regularly. Use Deodorants for your armpits and antiperspirants, if you sweat like a horse. There are some men who are used to having a "Gypsy Bath" - meaning covering up their stinks with perfumes, colognes, body sprays and after-shaves. Remember these can never fully paralyze your own B.O.
Practice having good showers, more so, if you are living in a tropical climate. I remember working with a guy, who used to spray Brut allover his clothes - so much so every time he walked past, you would imagine a carcass van just went by. I did talk to him about improving his personal hygiene, but then, you would hardly find anyone giving you advice on these issues. Because it is such a delicate and personal subject not many people wish to discuss about it. You have to take care of it yourself.
In case you use cologne or an after-shave, use good, high-quality brands. Some perfumes suit particular bodies. Try and find out which one suit you best. And for heavens' sake use little. There are some men, who move about smelling like a room-deodorant. Calvin Klein brands are used by many men but there are many unique low-publicized brands, which are equally good and lasting. Ideally your woman should smell you when she gets close to you, not making a beeline for the door to run away from the perfume.

* Burping: Yes, it happens normally after a heavy meal. But refrain, even at the most casual get-togethers. If you find it coming, excuse yourself politely and go out and release yourself.
* Snorting, snoring and other throat related noises: Control them or cure them. They act as lady-repellants.
* Farting: Disgusting, yet such a natural physiological phenomenon. And it is controllable - through proper medication and diet control. Just a wee bit of care for your health, and you can manage to evade this horrible event.
* Breath: This is important. You can check if you have bad breath just by licking your skin or smelling your saliva. Always carry mouth-fresheners or chew mint occasionally (not gum).
* Foot odor: It can be so obnoxious that you can throw an entire roomful of people out, the moment you open your shoes. Guys, change your socks regularly and use shoe deodorizers. They are easily available.

Online Dating mistakes men make that put women off
In general, there are more men dating online than there are women. So if you are a man trying to find love online, you will want to make sure you're going about things the right way. Although there are no failsafe written rules for online dating, there are certain unwritten etiquette rules that are advisable to follow if you want to get the best result out of your online dating experience.
Below is a list of ten things that are likely put women off dating you online.
No picture
Women (and men, for that matter) like to know who they are talking to. Having no picture makes women think you have something to hide. This could be anything from bad looks to already being married. Don't worry about your looks, different people have different tastes. However, having no picture up would make women imagine the worst, even if, in reality, they would actually find you attractive. A clear headshot of you smiling says you are genuine, friendly and serious about finding someone.
Naked pictures
It's hard to believe that this needs saying at all, but some men choose to upload nude pictures of themselves to websites rather than headshots. This is acceptable behaviour on adult-themed dating sites where people are generally only after sex, but on all other sites this causes annoyance, if not distress. Even people who specify they are interested in casual relationships are not likely to respond favourably to naked pictures. Unless you are certain this kind of behaviour is acceptable on the site, don't do it.
Accusing tone
People who have had bad dating experience occasionally try and protect themselves from being hurt by writing a profile warning off "undesirables". Obviously, no one likes having their time wasted by the wrong kind of people, but filling large parts of your profile with references to the sort of people you don't want to meet can make you sound unapproachable, unfriendly or even paranoid. Saying things like "no time wasters" are unnecessary -- no sane woman would sit in front of the computer and think "I feel like wasting someone's time today". The only thing a statement like that would do is make you sound impatient and demanding. Phrases like "no fat chicks", "no old hags" etc. would make you sound rude and offensive and make most women stay away, regardless of their age and shape. Instead, concentrate on positive aspects of who you would like to meet.
List of demands
Be careful of turning your profile into a long list of demands. While it's good to include information about your ideal woman, don't let it turn into a ransom note. Always include information about yourself in your profile and if you have high expectations from your potential mate, it's good to complement them with details about your own qualities so that you don't come across as arrogant and fussy. For example, a phrase like "I go to the gym 4-5 times a week and take care of my body, so I want to meet women who take care of theirs" sounds much better than "I want to meet fit women".
Going on about ex
Your online dating profile is not the place to go on about your past dating failures. It's a place to show your optimistic, hopeful side that is ready to move on. Don't fill it up with details about how bad your break-up was, how nasty your ex was and how you think all women are out to get you. You won't be doing yourself any favours.
Boasting
There is a fine line between describing your finer details and showing off. Going over the top with describing how great you are will only make women think you are arrogant and full of yourself. Be particularly careful of anything sexual, including describing body parts or how good you are in bed. Most women wouldn't believe it anyway and would be immediately put off.
Asking for sex
Unless you are on an adult-themed site, you are unlikely to get anywhere by messaging women and asking for sex straight away. Obviously, there are some exceptions, such as when a woman has specified on her profile that she is looking for sex as well. Otherwise, it's best to be more polite. Depending on the site you are using, it may be acceptable to say in your profile that you are looking for sex, though different sites will have different levels of tolerance to such requests. On mainstream sites, it's best to keep such information to a minimum, without going into any graphic descriptions.
Empty profiles
Women will probably not bother contacting you if your profile contains no information about yourself. Put the effort in and make sure you say enough to make them interested. It's worth spending the time to do this properly as the amount of responses you will get will significantly rise.
Jealousy and possessiveness
When starting to communicate with women online, don't act like you're married straight away. Demanding to know where your new friend is every time she is not speaking to you is not likely to make her want to stick around. Let things develop at their natural pace without being too pushy.
Acting Desperate
It's somehow hard to gauge the different between acting cool and acting distant and the difference between being affectionate and being overly-eager. Still, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and not flood your new match with over the top romantic behaviour. Turning up to a casual first date with a giant bouquet of flowers is an example of over-eagerness. If you like someone, do let her know, but again, don't expect her to commit to marrying you after a single phone call or date.
