			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may or may not know, my good friend Carlos Xuma recently released a spanking brand new program: </p>
<p>This program is all about: </p>
<p>- How to be a REAL authentic man in today&#8217;s world&#8230;</p>
<p>- How to stop being the nice guy all the time&#8230;</p>
<p>- How to be cool&#8230;</p>
<p>- How to be Naturally attractive to every woman you meet&#8230;</p>
<p>In other words, it&#8217;s essentially about MANHOOD <strong>- Being a REAL MAN &#8211; </strong>Not about pickup lines or techniques.</p>
<p>As always, I&#8217;ve pulled together information from just about every area of masculinity I could, researching dozens of books, pulling all the best tips and LIFE EXPERIENCE together in one priceless program for men.</p>
<p>Think about it: Guys are DESPERATE to find a mentor to show them the Way of the Alpha Man in today&#8217;s world. </p>
<p>The only way some of us ever learn about being a man is if you got lucky enough to have a strong male role model growing up, or years of being beaten up in the world trying to figure it out on your own&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; I had a little bit of both.</p>
<p>The program has a ton of examples and information on what TRUE masculinity and manhood is, how to build it, what to do &#8211; step by step. I included every facet of becoming a man anyone will ever need &#8211; in one program.</p>
<p>You can find out more about it here: </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.carlosxuma.com/alphamale/?aid=077157" target=_blank>Carlos Xuma Alpha Masculinity Program</a></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.insiderdatingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/amp-3d-2.jpg" alt="amp-3d-2" title="amp-3d-2" width="230" height="290" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-331" /></p>
<p>Oh and guess what? </p>
<p>Well, I just found out from Carlos that he&#8217;s sweetened the pot on his new Alpha Masculinity program even MORE.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s throwing in THREE more surprise bonuses for guys that order in the next 72 hours&#8230;</p>
<p>You&#8217;re not only going to get his Alpha Masculinity program AND the 13 bonuses he&#8217;s adding in, but he&#8217;s also going to throw in:</p>
<p>- An exclusive seminar with Lance Mason from Pickup 101 and Carlos on building strong Alpha Relationships with women so that you never have to worry about losing your woman after you finally get her&#8230;</p>
<p>- Another video on the 10 BIG Mistakes guys make in relationships, explaining the top 10 ways guys typically<br />
mess up their relationships with quality women&#8230;</p>
<p>- Another video: A special &#8220;Attraction Map&#8221; seminar on Alpha Masculinity. That explains the 3 most important skills a woman needs you to have when you&#8217;re approaching or talking to her, what part of the &#8220;Bad Boy&#8221; really attracts women, and the  essential beliefs of the &#8220;Natural&#8221; man that you have to mix with your own&#8230;</p>
<p>He&#8217;s gone WAY beyond what anyone ever expected in terms of giving value with this program. </p>
<p>So go take a look at this thing now:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.carlosxuma.com/alphamale/?aid=077157" target=_blank>Carlos Xuma Alpha Masculinity Program</a></strong></p>
<p>Enjoy and let me know what you think!</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230; </p>
<p>Simon</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was recently released by the guys at the <a href="http://artofthepickup.com/promo/9ViwS673b0QEjq7x/whatworks.html" target=_blank>Art Of The Pick-Up</a>. It&#8217;s nicely written, check it out&#8230; </p>
<p>Is any of the following familiar to you?:</p>
<p>* You are interested in a girl and she seems to be interested in you.  You get the courage to ask her out&#8230; but she makes an excuse or declines.</p>
<p>* You are talking to a girl and she tells you that she has a boyfriend, so you give up the thought of asking her out.  Later you find out from a friend that the girl is actually single.  Why did she tell you she had a boyfriend?</p>
<p>* You are on a date and no matter how well everything seems is going, you are not getting that feeling that she&#8217;s interested in you the way you&#8217;re interested in her.  You are spending time in a nice place, having interesting conversations, but later even if you get the courage to make a move, she rejects it.  She may even say outright that she&#8217;s &#8220;not ready&#8221; or &#8220;not looking for someone right now&#8221; (when you know for a fact that if a man she WAS interested in was right in front of her, she wouldn&#8217;t hesitate with HIM).  She<br />
seems to give you no indication of what she wants.</p>
<p>* You ask a girl what she&#8217;s looking for in a man.  She tells you. It sounds exactly like you, but she doesn&#8217;t seem interested in you in &#8220;that&#8221; way.  Why?</p>
<p>* You are in a situation where you&#8217;ve been pursuing a girl for quote some time, maybe even courting her, but no matter what you do, say, or try, she never seems to reciprocate the kind of interest in you as you have for her.  You may even be direct enough to ask her why she&#8217;s not interested in you but she won&#8217;t say why orwhat she does say makes no sense at all.</p>
<p>I am not going to explain WHY women are the way they are.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter, because what you really need to understand is how to READ them and determine what works and what doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Women almost never seem to be satisfied by the men they date or the majority of men who are interested in dating them.</p>
<p>Do you think it&#8217;s because those men truly aren&#8217;t up to par or maybe it&#8217;s because they simply don&#8217;t understand how to interpret what the women they&#8217;re interested in want and how to display those<br />
characteristics?</p>
<p>Whenever a woman holds back on relaying to a man, any man, what she truly wants and what truly creates attraction in her, it could be one of 3 main reasons:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.insiderdatingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/girl1.jpg" alt="girl1" title="girl1" width="250" height="320" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-323" /></p>
<p>1. She thinks she&#8217;s telling the man what she wants, but she is only relaying what she consciously is looking for rather than what actually triggers her attraction and desires.  She may at times make the active choice to follow her conscious &#8220;litmus test&#8221; but she will soon be unhappy with the choice, and seek another option.</p>
<p>2. She does know what gets her attracted and what gets her truly interested, but she decides to keep it to herself.</p>
<p>3. She doesn&#8217;t actually know what makes her attracted to any given man, she just &#8220;knows&#8221; and simply rejects the approaches of many men until one comes along that simply &#8220;does it&#8221; for her.</p>
<p>Do you know what&#8217;s great about those reasons? &#8230;</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t actually matter!</p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t know how a TV works, either, but they do know that when the &#8220;ON&#8221; button is clicked on the remote the TV turns on.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t need to understand how a picture tube works; we don&#8217;t need to understand infrared light, or what a cathode ray tube is.</p>
<p>All we need is for someone to show us where the remote is, how to pinpoint where the &#8220;ON&#8221; button is, how to click it, how to change channels, and increase/decrease the volume.</p>
<p>A TV can&#8217;t tell you how it works.  It just does when you click the right buttons.  Women are way more complex than TVs (and nicer!) but the concept is the same.</p>
<p>Women don&#8217;t come with instructions and they don&#8217;t WANT to come with instructions.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t actually want to have to tell men how to attract them.</p>
<p>Sure, they will put on makeup, wear high heels, nice dresses, and spend hours and lots of money on their hair, but that is to attract as many men as possible in the first place in order to have a selection they can choose from.</p>
<p>Some women are so naturally beautiful that they avoid using too much makeup or over-doing the primping to avoid attracting too many men!</p>
<p>What women don&#8217;t need is a way to attract MORE men &#8211; they already have pretty much all that&#8217;s necessary and do what they can to optimize their fan base.  What they need is a means to FILTER the<br />
men who are attracted to them.</p>
<p>Imagine if every woman said &#8220;yes&#8221; to every man who ever approached her&#8230; OK, stop imagining Angelina Jolie saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to you&#8230; stay focused&#8230;</p>
<p>If every man knew how to attract every woman, this would be quite an over-populated planet and this newsletter would be called &#8220;The Art of Repulsing Men&#8221; and marketed to women!</p>
<p>So, you can see why women are not going to spell out what works for them, what stirs their attraction, even when they truly know.  Some factors are universal to all women and many factors unique to each<br />
woman.</p>
<p>No matter what the factor, a woman is not going to spoon-feed this information to any man who is interested in her.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.insiderdatingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/girl2.jpg" alt="girl2" title="girl2" width="250" height="320" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-327" /></p>
<p>Beyond the over-population issue, there is another factor involved.</p>
<p>When you read the last paragraph, you might have thought &#8220;But what if she&#8217;s already interested in the man who is approaching her? Isn&#8217;t it in her best interest to show or explain to him how to attract her?&#8221;</p>
<p>The answer to that is no.</p>
<p>How does she know this man is truly interested in her?  How does she know the man is being forthright?  How does she know that he&#8217;s really who he portrays himself to be?  How does she know he&#8217;s not<br />
dangerous or psychotic or might put her in harm&#8217;s way?  The answer for her is to apply FILTERS.</p>
<p>Here is how a woman&#8217;s filtering process goes:</p>
<p>* She will not state or explain to a man what attracts her.  If she does, it&#8217;s a façade to determine whether he will cater to the façade rather than maintain his integrity of who he truly is.  Who he truly is may or may not attract you.</p>
<p>* She will observe his body language to determine how much he is in harmony with his own words.  She can&#8217;t be attracted to a man who makes claims that don&#8217;t jive with his presence.</p>
<p>* She will observe how congruent he is from one moment to the next. If he acts too differently one moment to the next (in terms of personality not in predictability), then he&#8217;s not being congruent<br />
with himself and she can&#8217;t be attracted to a man who may be putting on a façade.  If this seems hypocritical, consider that men do it to get in women&#8217;s pants and women do it to avoid a man getting in<br />
their pants who might cause them to feel &#8220;buyer&#8217;s remorse&#8221; later (or worse).</p>
<p>* She will talk in third-person contexts or relay stories of people she knows to see what the man&#8217;s real opinions are of things that may have more to do with her than the people in those stories.</p>
<p>* Immediate physical attraction aside, so long as a man doesn&#8217;t outright turn her off, and has interesting aspects to him, she will continue to interact with him long enough for something to &#8220;click&#8221;.</p>
<p>* Once enough time has passed where nothing has &#8220;happened&#8221;, she will presume he&#8217;s either not interested or doesn&#8217;t have the &#8220;right stuff&#8221; that makes her feel attracted and then no matter what happens after that the door is closed.</p>
<p>Even understanding this filtering process can help you quite a lot but, still&#8230;</p>
<p>How do you, as a man, determine WHAT a woman would truly be attracted to without expecting it all to be spelled out for you or to have a map drawn out for you?  The ways to do it are:</p>
<p>*** Pay attention to the subtext of what a woman is saying.</p>
<p>If she&#8217;s talking about someone she knows in the third person OR any part of your intuition makes you feel like she&#8217;s talking about herself indirectly, then presume it&#8217;s meant to gauge your true opinion.</p>
<p>In that case, just acknowledge the story without sharing an opinion (keep her guessing) or (even better) turn the tables around on her by relating to the story through one of your own with a similar context.</p>
<p>For example if she says &#8220;I know this woman at work who&#8217;s hooked on an anti-depressant, she&#8217;s always worried that she&#8217;s messing up her life&#8230; do you think that hurts how attractive she is?&#8221;, you reply<br />
with &#8220;That&#8217;s an interesting question, there&#8217;s this guy who lives near me that sounds just like her &#8211; what do you think?&#8221;</p>
<p>If she doesn&#8217;t want to answer, then change the subject.</p>
<p>If she answers readily, then you know the best way to answer.</p>
<p>*** Observe what she does, not what she says.</p>
<p>If a woman tells you she doesn&#8217;t like men who are dominant yet reacts more positively to you when you are dominant, then just ignore what she&#8217;s saying and continue to do what works.</p>
<p>The trick is to be more observant of her actions and not her words, if the context allows.</p>
<p>*** Understand women in general and what is attractive to them, in general, and stick to that regardless of what your friends, family, the media, or even women themselves tell you about what interests them.  </p>
<p>*** Use women&#8217;s filtering tactics for yourself.</p>
<p>They may or may not know you are actively reversing their tactics but they will intuitively recognize that you are &#8220;filtering&#8221; them and not just catering to them to get in their pants like most men do.</p>
<p>Not only does this tactic help you understand their perspective and use it to your advantage, you will also increase your attractiveness to them by the mere act of doing so &#8211; because clearly only a man who would need to filter the women he interacts with is one who is chased by more women than he is interested in.</p>
<p>*** Initiate &#8220;tests&#8221; to or challenges to the woman that display you are aware of her coy subtext.</p>
<p>This one will take practice, and requires the vibe to be that of flirting rather than interrogation.</p>
<p>If a woman presents you with subtext that you know is a filtering ploy, then joke with her how obvious she&#8217;s being or how silly it is for her to be hitting on you like a piece of meat.</p>
<p>Obviously, this is not something that can be done just through words (you can&#8217;t read something like this and expect it to immediately work just by repeating the words) but if you understand what the vibe is meant to be and can maintain your congruence with it, then, by all means, use it to your advantage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you&#8217;ve tried; you burnt holes in your wallet going for seminars,<br />
lair meetings, bought educational CDs, book, audios, DVDs, etc but STILL end up with less than &#8220;satisfactory&#8221; results with women &#038; dating?</p>
<p>If you have, chances are, you aren&#8217;t REALLY getting how everything &#8220;works&#8221;&#8230; yet.</p>
<p>You aren&#8217;t sure how everything &#8220;gels&#8221; together. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know, maybe some of the stuff you&#8217;ve learned just ain&#8217;t &#8220;jiving&#8221; it right with you, it might be too<br />
complicated to apply out in the real world, or it could be plain because things just aren&#8217;t making sense to you at all!</p>
<p>Whatever the reason, if you&#8217;re serious in wanting to get good at this ONCE AND FOR ALL, download this immediately:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.bulletproofseduction.com/go/magic-bullets1.shtml" target=_blank>Magic Bullets Download</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>I personally vouch for it 150%.</em></strong></p>
<p>My personal opinion &#8212; It is for every guy, at ANY skill level.  </p>
<p>In general, what I like most about it is that it explains the why&#8217;s and the how&#8217;s of the female mind, our<br />
mind, the overall dynamics of dating &#038; women in GREAT detail. This allows you to understand the reasons behind each phase and their overall objective and facilitates developing your own material and even improvising. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.insiderdatingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/hot-women11.jpg" alt="hot-women11" title="hot-women11" width="450" height="350" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-303" /></p>
<p>Another plus point is that it is designed in a way that you can just read whichever chapter you want depending on where you are struggling.</p>
<p>It simplifies even the hardest to grasp concepts and it is VERY linear &#038; structured as a whole &#8212; to the<br />
point where YOU can go from A to B to C and chart your progress while you measure your success with amazing women in a step by step way. </p>
<p>Pay special attention to the lessons on hook lines, flow, open threads, delivery &#038; input. Go through them several times to ingrain those concepts within your personality. </p>
<p>Oh and just in case you aren&#8217;t familiar with Savoy (shame on you <img src='http://www.insiderdatingnews.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ? </p>
<p>He co-founded Love Systems with Mystery who is the main man on his own MEGA-HUGE hit reality tv-show &#8220;The Pick-Up Artist&#8221; on VH1.  </p>
<p>Savoy; Magic Bullets author &#038; one of my long-time buddies, has trained many of the top pick up artists that are seen as gurus today, including Sinn, The Don, Braddock, etc.  </p>
<p>For him, it&#8217;s always been about having the right FUNDAMENTALS.</p>
<p>As long as the required dedication to self improvement and a desire to succeed is continually focused on, ANYONE can be great with women. </p>
<p><em>&#8220;A system for attracting women is like a strategy for a basketball game. Some teams shoot a lot, others pass a lot and wait for a great shot. Some teams run back quickly on defense, others rebound aggressively. But if you have players who are good at the fundamentals any reasonable strategy can work. Just like if you have good dating fundamentals, many different systems can work.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received this story in my email inbox this morning from CrossingTheGoal. I found it quite interesting and I feel it applies to everyone whatever you may be going through right now. Read it, it might apply to you too.</p>
<p>“Once there was a donkey that fell in to an old empty well. The farmer, who owns the donkey, looked at the beast and tried to figure how to get it out of there. Having thought of nothing to get the donkey out of the well, he decided to simply bury his donkey alive!</p>
<p>So the farmer called his neighbors to shovel dirt into the well. At first the donkey got frightened and panicked. After some time the beast realized that if he shakes the dirt of his back, the ground under him gets higher. He continued to shake the dirt off and step up until the well was full. I will leave to your imagination what the donkey did to the farmer and his neighbourrs when he got out of the well.</p>
<p>Many times we feel life is throwing dirt at us. Problems seem to hit us at all directions. Even when you feel everything is OK, suddenly dirt smacks you in the face. Sometimes you can even feel the bitterness of the dirt! </p>
<p>There are others who not only feel that dirt is being thrown at them, but feel that they are being buried alive. Their problems seem pile to up from one to the next, until their problems are bigger than they are. They feel like all the world’s trash is being poured out on to them.”</p>
<p>But we can use this dirt. We can use life’s problems and troubles to produce strength, wisdom, perseverance, patience and other virtues in us that will help us succeed in life. The dirt thrown at you can be use to increase your stature, your being. </p>
<p>We should imitate the donkey. Instead of giving up and letting himself be buried, he shook the dirt of off him. We too should learn to shake our problems and step on it. And like the donkey we will get out of the hole we are in.</p>
<p>St. Thomas Aquinas describes wisdom as the view from the hill top. We can raise our hilltops with whatever life gives or throws at us. The good, bad and even the most painful experiences can be an opportunity for us to grow in wisdom and virtues.</p>
<p>With much dirt under your feet, you have a better view in life. And you will see that the view is <em><strong>awesome </strong></em>up there!</p>
