Romance › Using Humor To Win The Girl Of Your Dreams by daviesblaze(op): 10:35am On Dec 30, 2016
forget mysterious guy, that type gets old fast. Girls like a guy who makes them laugh, so here are some funny things to say to a girl to get her into you.
When you’re trying to get a girl’s number or you’re on a date with a girl, you want to make her laugh. When you make someone laugh, you feel good about yourself. In turn, they feel good about you. So we put together a tutorial for you on funny things to say to a girl and win her over. Not only that, laughing shows a sign of connection, and that’s ultimately what you want to do with her—connect. Relationships start in these tiny moments of connection. How to use humor to get a girl but, before you start with the toilet jokes, ease up a bit. If you don’t know the girl, you won’t want to start with toilet or sexual humor, she may not appreciate it. It may come off a tad creepy, so beware of your audience. So, here are some of the funny things you can say to girls.

#1 One liners.
One liners are great–and a classic. They can be used in almost any situation. Sure,you can tell an actual joke, but honestly, it’s probably not as funny as you think it is. One liners are in-the-moment jokes requiring wit and speed.

#2 Sarcasm.

If you’re naturally sarcastic, you’ll have no issue using this as a way to make a girl laugh. In fact, this is probably your best tactic. However, not everyone can use sarcasm and successfully pull it off. So use this carefully

You need the matching facial expressions and tone of voice to make the girl really howl. Some people find sarcasm as negative, depending on how it is used. However, I’m biased and find it to be highly attractive.
Sure, you’re a little bitter and sharp sounding, but that’s what makes it funny.

#3. Mimicry

.If you don’t think you're capable of pulling off a one liner, then maybe your talent lies in mimicry. Mimicry is the imitating of someone or something*just in case you weren’t sure*. Basically, you act like an impersonator.

Everyone loves Charlie Chaplin or JimCarrey—these guys both mimic others. One’s more of a physical actor, which, works sometimes, but you can’t be doing that everywhere. You have to make sure you have your impersonations down to an art form. Nothing is worse than a guy who does a half-ass impersonation. It’s not funny,it’s more cringe worthy. Don’t make her cringe, make her laugh.

Videotape yourself and practice your impersonations in your room before bringing them out in public. Perhaps try them out in front of your parents, you know, as an extra precaution.

If you’re relaxed, you’ll have no problem delivering a joke to make her stomach hurt from laughing. You know some one liners, nowyou just have to go out and use them.

Dating And Meet-up Zone › You Definitely Need This For Your Next Date by daviesblaze(op): 5:30pm On Oct 29, 2016
Knowing how to build rapport is the basis to experience success and fulfillment in life. And yet, it’s amazing to realize how little education and training we get on a set of skills that can make the difference in our lives between happiness and unhappiness. In fact, without rapport there is no one interested in the message you want to communicate or the service you want to provide. Without rapport, there is little chance to influence or to persuade others. Rapport building is at the root of effective communication Whether you are a salesperson, a supervisor, a teacher or a parent, knowing how to develop rapport is key to your success One powerful method is to match and mirror the behavior of the other A few days ago, I went for dinner at a very busy restaurant. While waiting for my meal, I observed the people at nearby tables. A couple caught my attention, and though I could not hear their conversation, I could tell by the language of their bodies that they were moving in unison. They had a great rapport and were having a good time. There was harmony in their movements; it looked like an effortless dance. They were naturally matching and mirroring each others. It was beautiful to watch. Being in unison is the result of mirroring and matching, and when we sit down with someone we love, it comes natural to us. Acquiring the skill to do so also with people we don’t necessary have to like, will increase our capacity to create rapport with the other. In other words, matching and mirroring is something we can learn to do deliberately. Matching and mirroring is the skill of assuming someone else’s style of behavior to create rapport. When you match and mirror, you don’t only listen with your ears, you listen with your entire body. You are present to the other person. Let’s be clear, matching and mirroring is not mimicry. To the contrary, it’s about being in tune with the other, by using your observations about the other’s behavior. Here are the four things you need to do, to match and mirror your interlocutor: Body postures and gestures What posture is the person you are having a conversation with assuming? What is he or she doing with his or her arms and hands? Is the person leaning forward or backward? Observe, and than match the posture and gestures. If, for example, the person is reserved in using the hands, there is no point for you to gesticulate frantically! The rhythm of the breath Pay attention to how the other person is breathing, and then match it. This technique helps tremendously in bonding with the other. If the person you are having a conversation with is breathing with her diaphragm, it will not help building rapport if you breath with your upper chest. Instead, match your interolocutor’s rhythm of breath. The energy level What is the energy level of your interlocutor? Is he or she shy, reserved or exuberant and extroverted? If he or she, for example, is timid, it might be perceived as aggressive and invasive if you are exuberant. If your interlocutor uses few words to express a concept, it does not make your communication effective if you are very wordy. The tone of your voice What is your interlocutor’s tone of voice? Is he or she talking softly, almost whispering? In that case, to build rapport, you need to mirror his or her tone of voice. Being loud, in fact, will not help establishing a bond with your interlocutor. In addition, pay attention at the speed of the speech. Is your interlocutor speaking slowly or fast? Paying attention to these four characteristics and mirroring them when communicating with others, helps you with rapport building (By the way, I am currently sending free videos to individuals interested in learning techniques on how to build rapport. Just sign up here for my weekly advice on effective communication). Next time you sit down with someone, practice matching and mirroring by paying attention to body posture, breath, energy level and voice of your interlocutors. At first, it might feel awkward and artificial, but with time it will become second nature, and you will experience a powerful improvement in the effectiveness of your communication

Career › Tips To Knail Your First Interview by daviesblaze(op): 10:54am On Oct 21, 2016
In fact, research shows that interviewers reach final decisions about applicants four minutes after meeting them, on average. In other words, you have very little time to make a great first impression in a job interview. Your body language, presence in the room, and how you answer their questions have a much more significant impact on whether you'll be hired than we might think -- or even care to admit. Where do you see yourself in five years? Take our free quiz here to figure out the next step in your career. You have more control over the outcome of your job interview than you realize. Here are some psychological tricks to help you influence the impression the make on your interviewer. Trick #1: Act confident, even if you don't feel confident. In her popular TED talk, Social Psychologist Amy Cuddy talks about how the presence you bring to job interviews weighs more heavily than the content of the interview itself. When you come off as confident, authentic, passionate, comfortable, and enthusiastic, interviewers are more likely to hire you. Cuddy says the best way to give off a confident presence is to "power pose" before the interview -- i.e. stand in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident. It affects the chemicals in our brain and might even impact our chances for success. Trick #2: Mirror your interviewer's body language. Want that job? You've got to be likeable. One way to appear more likeable, trustworthy, and empathetic is by mirroring your interviewer. Mirroring or "mimicry" happens when you match another person's expressions of nonverbal communication, like body language, gestures, vocal pitch and tone, posture, eye contact, and body orientation. While mirroring is often subconscious, you can certainly control it by paying attention to how your interviewer's nonverbals, especially her body language and tone of voice. But keep it very subtle, otherwise it might backfire -- if you're crossing and un-crossing your legs every time your interviewer does, she might get weirded out or see you as incompetent. Trick #3: Address your interviewer by name. "Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language," wrote Dale Carnegie in his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Think about the times people you just met remembered your name -- you probably saw them as more charming and interesting than if they hadn't said your name at all. Carnegie suggests you repeat the person's name multiple times in an interview where appropriate, especially when you're saying goodbye, so you can make a lasting impression. Trick #4: Use flattery. "Flattery has an insidious ability to worm its way into the unconscious, where it creates persistent feelings that could affect the outcomes of all kinds of business interactions, from job interviews to sales to boardroom presentations," Jaideep Sengupta, Professor of Marketing at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, told Harvard Business Review. And it doesn't have to be sincere flattery, either. “Implicit attitudes tend to remain untouched by contradictory explicit information," said Sengupta. "It’s a testament to how insidiously flattery affects us.” So, how do you flatter your interviewer without sounding like a brown-noser? One way is to frame it as advice-seeking, according to a study from the Kellogg School of Management . For example, you could ask a question like, "How was the company able to close that deal so successfully ?" Opinion or value conformity is another form of subtle flattery, which you can express in a comment like: "I'm the same way -- I also work better in sprints." Trick #5: Repeat things back. This is a communication strategy called "reflective listening," and it happens in two parts: First, you listen and try to really understand what a person is saying. Then, you paraphrase what they said to confirm you understood and emphasize their point. Not only does reflective listening make you look and sound interested and intelligent, it's also a form of flattery (see trick #3). Plus, having good listening skills is important for any job -- especially if you're applying for a managerial position . Trick #6: Ask for a higher salary than you're aiming for. When the subject of pay finally comes around, you've probably heard that it's better to aim high and then negotiate down to your desired range. This is a psychological affect called "anchoring," and it's the same effect as when your teenage daughter begs you for a pair of $ 150 jeans and you refuse, you're than more likely to cave in to the $80 pair. "When we encounter a number -- even an irrelevant number -- we fixate on it, and it influences our judgment," explains Todd Thorenson, Professor of Psychology at the University of Idaho. In fact, a recent study revealed that asking for a million-dollar salary in jest can actually increase your offer by more than 10%. In the study's test scenario, an administrative assistant candidate who'd listed her salary as $29,000 interviewed for a new job and was asked what salary she wanted. In cases where the applicant didn't name a number -- which is what many of us have been trained to do, so that the interviewer names a number first -- she was offered about $32,500. When she joked, "Well I’d like a million dollars, but really I just want what’s fair," the average offer rose to almost $ 36,200. Of course, a quip like that might detract the interviewer altogether, so it's a risky move -- but it certainly is telling of the psychological affect naming
Family › Jusr Because We Are Kids by daviesblaze(op): 10:31am On Oct 21, 2016
Now just because we're kids Because we're sort of small Because we're closer to the ground And you are bigger pound by pound You have no right, you have no right To push and shove us little kids around... Now just because your throat has got a deeper voice And lots of wind to blow it out At little kids who dare not shout You have no right, you have no right To boss and beat us little kids about... Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave You treat us like a slave... So what? It's only hair. Just because you wear a wallet near your heart You think you're twice as smart. You know that isn't fair... But we'll grow up someday, and when we do I pray, We won't just grow in size and sound, And just be bigger pound by pound... I'd hate to grow, like some I know, Who push and shove us little kids around
