Romance10 Mistakes Men Make While Trying To Woo A Lady by PrinceCharmiing(op): 1:39am On Sep 19, 2014
1. Showing too much sexual interest (Starting in
Seduction): “The Creepy Guy”
A lot of guys show sexual interest in a woman
before they attract and qualify her. They make it
obvious to a woman they’re only interested in
taking sex from her, without any regard to her as
a person. It’s as if they say, “You don’t know me,
wanna have sex?” Rather than be a getter, why
not be a giver? Before seducing her, it’s best to
let her see what you’re about, bring her some joy,
and build comfort and trust. That way, you’ve
built sexual interest in her as well.
2. Being too Nice (Starting in Comfort): “The Nice
Guy”
On the opposite end, other men focus on not
being a sexual threat and only building comfort.
They’ll say things like “So, where are you from?
Do you come here often?” before the woman
knows anything about who this guy is. Share
yourself first, and that will make her feel more
comfortable sharing herself with you. And
keeping the conversation fact-based is artificial.
It’s best to make her FEEL first. Ironically, “The
Nice Guy” technique still telegraphs sexual
interest. He’s still trying to “get” but in hidden
way. Giving favors, gifts, compliments, early
protestations of love, and being afraid to rock the
boat isn’t really giving because something is
expected in return. It’s okay to be a sexual
threat. In fact, to create sexual tension you need
to be.
3. Not qualifying or listening (Attracting but No
Comfort): “The Player”
When a man attracts a woman first, but skips
comfort, and goes straight for the sex, he
becomes a player. This has three major
drawbacks.
a. Buyer’s Remorse. If you a rush a woman into
sex too soon, she may regret it. So, avoid making
out with her, especially if you’re in the club, and
don’t lead her into the bathroom stall, unless all
you want is a one night stand. It’s better to push
her away: “We shouldn’t do this here.” Showing
constraint is attractive. It also creates comfort
and trust with her and increases sexual desire in
her as a result. So, kiss her, but push her away.
After you’ve built enough comfort, sexually
arouse her in PRIVATE.
b. She feels manipulated. For us, it can feel
intoxicating when a woman shows interest in us.
Before we protest our interest in her though, let
her win us over first. Let her show us what she’s
about. Let her EARN being with us. Let her WORK
for us. After all, you don’t want to sleep with just
anyone, do you? If you like who she is as a
person, then show interest in her as a person. If
we don’t do this, she may feel like she’s just a
body and that we just go for anyone. Besides,
who values handouts? A player is smooth but
rushes to sex. A Venuisan Artist doesn’t push for
sex, but gets her to work for us first.
c. Her guard comes up. If you cross the line into
seduction too early without listening to her,
spending a few hours with her (between 4-10
hours–7 hours on average), bouncing her to
different locations, showing a vulnerable, honest
side, connecting, laughing, touching comfortably,
showing constraint, she will feel uncomfortable
with your seducing her. Most likely, she’ll resist.
Don’t make sex the priority. Build comfort and
trust with her first. By not pouncing, she’ll more
likely pounce you.
4. Not Touching Her (Attracting but Stuck in
Comfort): “The Friend Zone”
On the opposite end, if a man spends too much
time in comfort, he’ll get stuck in the friend zone.
This usually happens when we don’t kino her.
When we don’t kino, often it’s because we don’t
want to “offend.” We won’t “offend” if we’re the
friendly guy who speaks with his hands and
touches everyone, not just the target. High-fives,
hugs, hand-shakes, arm taps are accepted public
forms of touch. In a discreet way, also squeeze
her hand and see if she squeezes back. If she
does, play with her fingers but then drop her
hands. This slips sexual feeling into the
interaction without being overt about it. When
alone, touch her leg with yours, smell her neck,
brush a hair from her face to match the gradual
escalation of emotional intimacy. Touch eliminates
the friend zone.
5. Not creating sexual tension (Do Balance
Indicators of Interest with Disinterest)
The “sexual” part of sexual tension comes from
taking on the role of a dominant man interacting
with a “cute” girl. The “tension” comes from the
conflict of play-fighting. Tension is also the feeling
of “what will happen next?” To the girl, this is
exciting. She feels challenged–her pretty face for
once isn’t sufficient to win over this guy. So, we
must show disinterest: for example, walk away at
the height of an interaction, or make her laugh
with a neg instead of giving her a predictable
compliment. We must also show interest too: for
example smile, touch, show her appreciation
when it’s deserved. In this way, we communicate
with the woman inside her, not with with her
polite, artificial social persona. Play-fight with her.
Dominant man versus “cute” girl. This sparks
sexual tension, and attraction, in her.
6. Trying Too Hard
Here are some examples of trying too hard:
showing off, bragging, exaggerating
accomplishments, asking a million questions, not
allowing any silences, spending loads of money,
entertaining her, trying to make her laugh
constantly, getting interested in her way too fast,
investing all our energies in one girl. Way too
exhausting. The best pickup artists not only hunt,
they farm. Go after one girl, get nothing. Go after
10 girls; get 7 awesome pivots and 3 lays (the
best of the bunch, of course). You can only
choose from the women who choose you. That
means if you want to have choice, you have to be
the man who talks to a lot of women. How can a
girl chase us if we plant our feet in front of her
and never move? Lie back and roll off. You’re the
prize. Let the woman chase you. Jealousy
plotlines can be an integral way to make the most
beautiful women chase you.
7. Not Being Prepared
Generating a conversation out of thin air with
complete strangers isn’t an easy task, so having
some icebreakers prepared helps. Whip out a
cheat sheet and fill it with negs, kino (write out
the kino, however mundane, with negs and DHVs
like stage directions), DHVs, and qualifiers. You’ll
need enough material to engage a woman for 25
to 40 minutes, though ultimately you’ll need to fill
7 hours. Of that time, only the first few minutes
should be A-2 material. Once we’ve hooked a
woman, qualify her. We’ll stale out a set if we
over-attract without having her work to attract
us. We also demonstrate cluelessness about how
to read a woman. Being prepared also means
getting into the right state, which is a playful,
positive, talkative state. Also, knowing where to
bounce girls, and having logistics handled, is part
of being prepared, as well as being groomed,
clean, having condoms, and gum. Practice in the
mirror before going out if you have to, it lends a
degree of self-awareness in the field. And when
you’re ready for that woman of particular beauty,
forget everything and be in the moment.
Ironically, preparation makes flow possible.
8. Being Too Logical and Factual
Showing off our intellect doesn’t create
attraction. Our intellect speaks to her logic, not
her emotions. Not smiling, keeping a monotone,
factual voice, and being silent altogether doesn’t
create attraction either. Where’s the juice?
Women respond much more to a man who smiles
and who’s expressive. This shows warmth and
feeling. Women would rather feel. Rather than
explain, or talk about facts and logic, or be overly
serious, talk about emotional subjects, play with
her, sweep her up into your arms and dance, talk
about things that light you up. Passion and
enthusiasm are aphrodisiacs for women. When
you’re enthusiastic about something, she’ll be
swept up in those good feelings and won’t want
to part from them. Make a woman feel wonderful.
She’ll associate feeling wonderful with you.
9. Demonstrating Lower Value
When we portray ourselves in a lower-value way
with women, it kills her attraction for us. The way
we portray ourselves begins in our thoughts.
Instead of focusing on our insecurities in our
thoughts, highlight strengths and
accomplishments. Then when we’re talking with
women, our positive light will naturally shine
through, which increases her attraction for us. As
a side note, self-deprecating humor only works
when everyone is aware of one’s strengths. It
becomes a form of humility, which is attractive.
But when we self-deprecate without our strengths
to contrast it with, it’s uncomfortable. So, why
not meditate on our strengths in our thoughts?
That way we grow into men of the highest value,
like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
10. Fearing What She Thinks of You
Who cares what she might think of us? For that
matter, who cares what anyone might think of
us? All the great pickup artists seem to have one
thing in common: social freedom. It’s so much
more attractive to walk through the world without
fear, especially without the fear of losing other
people’s approval. “Approval” from others is
flimsy, “approval” from within is solid. More
important than getting the girl is serving a
deeper purpose than women, and keeping focus
on that purpose to its end with all of our hearts.
Women can be sunshine in our lives, beautiful
and inspiring, but true freedom comes not from
getting her or from clinging to her, but from
bringing our light into the world. The byproduct,
not the goal, is we become a supremely attractive
man to women, a man of particular value.

I was browsing around I I found this . . . Its long but interesting!


The Study Abroad Trip Gone Very Wrong
During our freshman year at different colleges,
my high school girlfriend and I decided to spend
the summer in Russia. Or rather, she decided
that she wanted to, and I, hopelessly in love with
her and eager to see her over the summer,
decided to start taking Russian as an excuse to
join her.
But she dumped me in March. I had already sort-
of committed to the Summer, but not really. Yet
in my infinite wisdom, I thought myself left with
only one choice — follow her to Russia to win her
back.
The eight weeks I spent in St. Petersburg were,
as one might imagine, terrible. I had no friends
and didn't speak the language. I lived in a home
stay with an 80-year-old Russian woman. Oh, and
I watched as she (my ex, not the 80-year-old) fell
in love with a Russkie, who, in my pathetic
attempt to be near her, I sort of became friends
with.
When I got to the airport to come back to
America, dejected and stupid as I'd ever been, I
didn't see my flight on the departures list. I
asked around in broken Russian, and found out
that there are actually two separate terminals of
the St. Petersburg airport, and I was at the
wrong one. Needing to get to my flight asap, and
discombobulated as hell, I accepted a cab
driver's offer to get me there for around $100,
most of the money I had left.
When I got to the right terminal, the customs
officer told me that there was a problem with my
visa. I couldn't leave until I got it taken care of,
and the next flight wasn't for 3 days. It was back
to the nasty 80-year-old woman. Except when I
got there, she was gone, and the door was
locked. When I called her, she told me that she
had gone to her dacha(Russian country home),
and wouldn't be back for a month.
So at this point, I have no money, no girl, and no
place to sleep. I got my visa taken care of, but
still had to lug most of my stuff (except for what
I'd left at the airport) around for three days. The
only person I could call was . . . my ex's new
boyfriend.
But, pathetic as I was, I couldn't bring myself to
do it.
So my last three nights in Russia were spent on a
cold beach, in a train station, and in a 24-hour
bookstore. I almost got a full night's sleep in the
bookstore, but was awoken by a terrifying man
yelling at me in Russian. When I clearly didn't
understand him, he said, in a not-too-accented
English, "Get out."
So I arrived in America dirty, dumb, and loveless.
Five years later, I'm just about over her.

The Kidney Donor
This story is probably best suited to be in the
annals of the stupid, yet true, romance stories.
Ten years ago, I was just out of the university
when I met this girl. She was young, beautiful
and her smile just lit up the room. I was a nerd,
physically unattractive and never been in a
relationship. I was also very naive as events
turned out. It was my first relationship. I had
never had success with girls. I came from a
'psychologically inadequate' family background
and had serious self esteem issues.
Four months into the relationship (I will not
bother to waste the reader's time narrating how
we happened to be dating), she came crying to
me one day. Her brother was ill, had been ill for a
week (I eventually found out he had been in the
hospital for six months at the time), and needed
a kidney. Their only surviving relative was
unwilling to donate hers and she was worried
that her brother would just die.
(An aside, I live in a third world country and
there is nothing like waiting for an organ donor.
If you needed one, you would have to hope for
someone you know to donate it or die a long and
painful death.)
Then came the torrent of tears from her pretty
face and I knew that I was going to do
something really crazy. I volunteered to donate a
kidney. She looked at me in disbelief. You can't
be serious, she sniffed. But I was. I assured her
that if I was a good match, I would donate one
and her brother would not have to suffer much
longer. I was young and very healthy. I figured
that there was nothing to lose and a lot to gain
by being the hero in her eyes.
Knowing that my family would never agree to
such an action on my part, I didn't tell them
anything until a day to the surgery. The hell they
raised is better imagined.
Fast forward to one week post operation. She
came to see me since I was leaving the hospital
that day. She was full of gratitude. She was full
of life. Her brother's surgery was successful. She
would be eternally grateful to me. She would be
happy to spend the rest of her life with me. And
so on. I felt like the king of the world. That such a
stunningly beautiful girl would feel indebted to
me gave me the best feeling in the world.
But things didn't remain so pretty for long
afterwards. She began to give excuses for not
coming to see me. If I called to ask if I could
come over, she would make up funny reasons
why not. She was busy. She was out of town.
She was tired. She was having a mood swing and
didn't want to see anybody. Eventually, two
months after my good, eh, stupid deed, she
broke up with me. Her reason? She didn't want
to waste her time with a sentimental fool. Her
exact words.
(I found out later that the 'brother' in the
hospital was in fact her long time fiancé whom
she loved very much.)
Since then, my already low-esteem is yet to fully
recover from the blow that being in that
relationship dealt me. That was my first and
possibly the last relationship I will ever be in. I
was a fool.

The Life-Changing Decision
Me and my first love were in class 10 (15-yrs-
old) , and after finishing 10th grade we were
supposed to pick up streams, either science,
commerce, or arts. Our future of academics lies
on that decision
He was a core science guy and I was more into
arts (political science and geography).
Once he asked me, "What will u be picking up?" I
told him about going in for arts and he was like
(sarcastically), "What will u do with arts stream
— become a fashion designer? I don't care you
WILL take up science." He state this as a
command; he was a very dominating person and
I actually like this trait in men.
So, that time I was so much into him I could see
nothing but taking up science further; it was as if
it was my 'goal," though something like arts
would really have taken me to heights,
considering my interest and potential in that
field. So, in a year, we fought and separated. But
then I had already made the blunder of picking
up science and one bad decision led to another
and now I am 21, pursuing engineering (which i
absolutely hate), and I hate myself for making a
decision based on teenage love. Even though he
is the only person I have loved truly until now, I
still dont see how stupid I could be in something
as important as career and future. Maybe it was
his charisma that led me into talking such a
foolish step.

TOUCHING RIGHT?
Romance18 Ugly Truths About Modern Dating. by PrinceCharmiing(op): 9:06pm On Sep 18, 2014
1. The person who cares less has all the
power. Nobody wants to be the one who’s
more interested.

2. Because we want to show how cavalier
and blasé we can be to the other person,
little psychological games like ‘Intentionally
Take Hours Or Days To Text Back’ will
happen. They aren’t fun.

3. A person being carefree because they
have zero interest in you looks exactly like
a person being carefree because they think
you’re amazing & are making a conscious
effort to play it cool. Good luck deciphering
between the two.

4. Making phone calls is a dying art.
Chances are, most of your relationship’s
communication will happen via text, which
is the most detached, impersonal form of
interaction. Get familiar with those
emoticon options.

5. Set plans are dead. People have options
and up-to-the-minute updates on their
friends (or other potential romantic
interests) whereabouts thanks to texts &
social media. If you aren’t the top priority,
your invitation to spend time will be given a
“Maybe” or “I’ll let you know” and the
deciding factor(s) will be if that
person has offers more fun/interesting than
you on the table.

6. Someone who hurt you isn’t
automatically going to have bad karma. At
least not in the immediate future. I know it
only seems fair, but sometimes people cheat
and betray and move on happily while the
person they left is in shambles.

7. The only difference between your actions
being romantic and creepy is how attractive
the other person finds you. That’s it, that’s
all.

8. “Let’s chill” & “Wanna hang out?” are
vague phrases that likely mean “let’s
hookup” — and while you probably hate
receiving them, they’re the common way to
invite someone to spend time these days,
and appear to be here to stay.

9. Some people just want to hookup and if
you’re seeking more than sex, they won’t
tell you that they’re the wrong person for
you. At least, not until after they score your
prize. While human decency is ideal,
honesty isn’t mandatory.

10. The text message you sent went
through. If they didn’t respond, it wasn’t
because of malfunctioning phone carrier
services.

11. So many people are scared of
commitment and being official that they’ll
remain in a label-free relationship, which
blurs lines and only works until it doesn’t.
I’ve said it many times before, I’ll say it
again – “we’re just talking” is opening the
door for cheating that technically wasn’t
cheating because, hey,
you weren’t together together.

12. Social media creates new temptations
and opportunities to cheat. The private
messaging and options for subtle flirtation
(e.g. liking of pictures) aren’t an excuse or
validation for cheating, but they certainly
increase the chances of it happening.

13. Social media can also create the illusion
of having options, which leads to people
looking at Facebook as an attractive people
menu instead of a means of keeping contact
with friends & family.

14. You aren’t likely to see much of
someone’s genuine, unfiltered self until
you’re in an actual relationship with him or
her. Generally people are scared that
sincerely putting themselves out there will
result in finding out that they’re too
available, too anxious, too nerdy, too nice,
too safe, too boring, not funny enough, not

15. Any person you get romantically
involved with you’ll either wind up staying
with forever or breaking up with them at
some point. These are equally terrifying
concepts.

16. When dating, instead of expressing how
they feel directly to you, a person is more
likely to post a Facebook status or Instagram
a Tumblr-esque photo of a sunset with a
quote or song lyric of someone else’s words

name, it’s blatantly directed at you.

17. There are plenty of people who’ll have
zero respect for your relationship and if
they want the person you’re with, they’ll
have no qualms with trying to overstep
boundaries to get to ‘em. Girl code and guy
code are wishful thinking and human code
isn’t embedded in everyone.

18. If you get dumped, it’s probably going to
be pretty brutal. People can cut ties over
the phone and avoid seeing the tears
stream down your face or end things via
text and avoid hearing the pain in your
cracking voice and sniffling nose. Send a
lengthy text and voilà, relationship over.
The easy way out is far from the most
considerate.
