How to Attract Women

Topic: Lifestyle| No Comments »

Many men want to know how to attract women, as if there is some trick to it. They tend to think of attractive women as some sort of commodity. They don’t even feel like men unless they have a gorgeous woman at their beck and call. Most of these guys suffer from terribly low self-esteem. Their entire sense of self-worth is based on dating attractive women, and generally they are single. Therefore, they think of themselves as nothing, or even less than nothing.

The best way to start dating beautiful women is to realize that there is no secret. Don’t try to figure out how to attract women, just try to figure out how to be yourself. People with low self-esteem tend to be plagued by problems and insecurities in almost every aspect of their life. They will wonder how to attract women, how to get a good job, how to succeed in life and love, and yet never managed to do any of these things. The secret is not pheromones to attract women, psychological tricks, or any of that nonsense. The secret is simply to have faith in yourself.

I used to not even know how to approach women. They were like the Holy Grail to me. Sure, now and then I would end up on drunken hookups, or go on dates with friends of friends, but in general my self-esteem was terrible, and so was my track record. I tried every trick in the book, but still had no idea how to attract women. I was starting to give in to despair, and believed that I would never find happiness or love.

For me, success only came when I gave up worrying about how to attract women. Instead, I worried about how to be happy with myself. I dedicated myself to the principle that happiness comes not from outside, but from inside. I examined all of the factors in my life, all of the things that I cared about and the things that made me happy. I deepened and enriched my friendships, pursued my creative hobbies, and got in to see a therapist to tackle my low self-esteem. It worked wonders. Now I do not have to worry about how to attract women. I have a beautiful girlfriend who loves me very much. Once I thought of myself as attractive, women began to feel the same way about me. The rest is history.

How to be funny

Topic: Lifestyle| No Comments »

My stand-up comedy debut was still five days away, and already I was envisioning “bombing,” as they say in the business.

When I’d signed up for a comedy class a few months earlier to learn how to be funny, I wasn’t trying to land my own sitcom or an appearance on David Letterman’s show. I was more interested in answering the question many people bring to a course like this: If I can make my friends and family laugh, does that really make me funny?

Actually, there are plenty of other reasons to take an adult-ed course in stand-up – to learn how to tell jokes well, to write with more zip, or even to be a better public speaker.

But that’s not enough to make the class appealing to everyone. Tell people you are trying stand-up comedy and they say things like, “I could never do that,” “It sounds like torture,” and my personal favorite: “I would rather bungee jump.”

That didn’t keep me and my 12 classmates from exploring the world of comedy each week with a funnyman named Steve Calechman. He’s been doing stand-up in the Boston area for a decade, more recently teaching his craft to wannabes who’ve decided to see if they have what it takes.

What he knows, we learned: It takes a lot of work to make what comedians do look spontaneous. Thus started my quest to learn to be funny and witty.

Throughout the six-week class, we were guided by an observation he made early on about the difference between an amateur and a professional: One makes you think, “Yeah, that’s right”; the other, “Hey, I never thought of it that way.”

Focus on physique - Fun way to get fit and lose those kilos

Topic: Lifestyle| No Comments »

If you’re like me and you have trouble sticking to an exercise (or diet) routine, then read on. I have found a great personal trainer – John Ghastine, who runs Focus on Physique in Rosanna www.focusonphysique.com.au . Being one of those people that doesn’t enjoy traditional exercise, I struggle to keep active and do regular exercise. I have tried joining gyms, going to classes and walking with friends but I just get bored so quickly which of course means I lose motivation. However, a friend told me about Focus on Physique – she’d been doing two one hour personal training sessions per week for a couple of months and she seemed so invigorated and clearly enjoyed it, so I decided to give it a go. It was the best thing I ever did. During the first session (which is longer), they will put you through a fitness test and talk to you about your goals, so the program will be completely tailored to your personal needs. There are several trainers at Focus on Physique and they’re all really cool people who are good at pushing you, but also know how to have a bit of fun. They’ll provide guidance on diet and overall lifestyle, and keep a weekly log to keep track of your progress. If you’re looking to get fit or lose weight, these guys can definitely help, because they’re realistic and they don’t throw extreme diets and exercise requirements at you – they’ll work out your personal style and work with it. They also do weekly Boot Camps , pre and post pregnancy fitness and can work with you on specific sports training. Each session we mix it up. If the weather’s good, I prefer to be outdoors, so we’ll go running in one of the many parks around the Focus on Physique studio. Other weeks I might feel like doing low-impact work indoors. The great thing is, Focus on Physique understand the importance of variety – both for weight loss results and motivation. Plus, their pricing is really reasonable.

So, if you’re wanting to shape up for summer, I would say personal training is the way to go and would highly recommend Focus on Physique.
