Get Your Ex Back Okay this is a touchy subject.  Mainly because there is no conceivable reason that anyone in the seduction/dating/relationship world can know the specific reasons you broke up with your ex.  It’s an impossibility because there is no one magic reason he or she left you.  More than likely it is an extremely complex issue that deals with not only things you’ve done and he/she have done but more importantly who you and your ex are as people.  Wow…apologize for the run on sentence.  But it’s true.  There is no one factor for why you and your ex broke up.  However there are a few strategies that you can employ to get your ex back.

Strategy 1: Time

Time is the best cure for getting your ex back.  This is a passive strategy that works extremely well.  For reasons beyond our control exes are affected by immediate reactions to events in the present.  However, there is an old saying “time cures all.”  It’s hard to forget how much of an ass you were to her/him last Saturday night but it’s much harder to remember the argument you had with someone 2 years ago.  My point being is that most break up causing issues are forgettable with time.  This doesn’t cure the issue.  Which you will need to address if you want to get your ex back and have them stay with you indefinitely.  This does mean that you have to put in the leg work to fix whatever underlying issues you two had in your relationship.  For example: most men have a fear of commitment.  The truth is that men don’t fear commitment but instead we fear we’ll make the wrong choice and be stuck with that choice indefinitely.  Unfortunately for women this leads to less engagements overall and more men stringing them along without a commitment.  But this can be combated by strengthening the core values you’ve built with your loved one in your relationship.  Thereby making your current bf/gf invested in your time and life together.  But getting back to time.  I know all of us have share this common experience: Continue reading »

How to write an online dating profileThis is by far the number one question people ask me about online  dating.  “Hey Kirk, how do you write an online dating profile?”  The question really is asking how does one create an online  dating profile that will increase  leads and attract women/men to their profile.  There is a specific formula that anyone can use  to make a better profile.   Here she is:

Step  1: PICTURES!

Sorry for screaming here but this is a must.  Pictures are the most important thing you have on your online dating profile.  If you don’t  build a solid photo album then people will deny and ignore your advances.  Also, people are naturally voyeurs so  they want to be able to check you out before they message you.  Also, if you are creeped out with  the thought of having your pictures online, you need to get over it.  I bet there already are images of you online elsewhere on the internet.  The benefit here is that you get to select which images you show.  Just like a job interview you want to put your best self forward.  So let’s look at the images you need to include in your online dating profile.

  1. Image up close of just your face. This builds comfort.  Also, it conveys that you are trusting but don’t  forget to smile!
  2. Image of you with friends. This shows that you are a friendly person who isn’t all alone and be the type to make them smell a chloroform soaked rag which leads to a fun  night of duct tape and garbage  bags.  Damn that’s morbid.  Moving along.
  3. Image of you with members of the opposite sex. This tends to work better with men whom have pictures of them with many women.  There is a concept known in the natural world called pre-selection.  Which can be defined as when a suitor is already linked with potential mates.  Although you don’t have to use images of ex-girlfriend/boyfriends (which I don’t  suggest) the pictures of you with members of the opposite sex will make you more appealing and sexual.  However, it does this subtly without being  sexual.
  4. Image of you and a hobby. This is a great time to convey your likes.  This could be you at a sporting event all decked out in your team’s gear, you going skydiving or rock climbing…put it this way, show something you love to do outside of work that would be a great conversation starter.  This helps a potential date ask open ended questions about you.  It opens the doorway to getting to know each other.
  5. Image of you in business/dressy clothes. It’s important to know how to put yourself together.  I recommend a business outfit because they are usually stylish and give the impression of professionalism.  Hopefully you have a job, if not, this shows you have the initiative to find one.  Also, I like to use images from weddings or other functions outside of work (or a good time you had at work) because they are a lot more fun to look at vs you just standing in a suit or whatever.  Show you also can be a good time.

Notice that I didn’t include a few types of images.  For one, don’t include pictures of you with your family.  However important your family is in your life (mine are essential) you need to appear independent.  Nothing is worse than that pretty girl thinking your a mama’s boy right off the bat.  Let her learn that when she meets the folks for real.  Also, I didn’t include any pictures showing you drinking alcohol or smoking.  Those images give off the idea that you are a party animal.  Lastly, don’t dress in anything too revealing.  This always happens with women.  They dress too scandalous and they attract weirdos, perverts and chauvinistic assholes.  Act classy and you’ll still attract weirdos, perverts and chauvinistic assholes but at least there will be less of them.  Also, dressy skanky makes guys think you put out quick.

Step  2: Honesty

I sound like such a broken record when it comes to honesty.  I know.  I’m sorry but honesty is so important in all relationships.  If you lie to a woman/man right at the start then you’ve build a relationship on a wobbly foundation.  We want your foundation to be strong and bullet proof.  Not a house of cards.  And trust me, you will eventually be caught in a lie.  It’s inevitable.

What types of things should you be honest about? Continue reading »

Online dating has recently come under fire for criminal background checks. Should they be mandatory?This seems to be a dominate question in the media as of late. It seems that in Illinois already has 2 bills announced this week. Both of which would require online dating sites to include if they complete criminal background checks on all users and if such checks should be mandatory. I honestly disagree wholeheartedly with this agenda. Now you may think that I’m asshole who wants to purposely put people in danger…not so. But I don’t need the government to become my parents or replace my common sense.

One comment that particularly scares me is one by Illinois state representative Jim Sacia which states “My greatest fear would be the false sense of security.” I agree that the online world can have a bit of a sterile clean environment feel but one can’t forget we’re dealing with actual people. People of all backgrounds. The harsh but brutal truth is that sex offenders, rapists, criminals and murderers are online. So they are dating online. But it is your responsibility as an online dater to keep yourself safe.

Here are a few quick rules that will help mitigate some of the dangers of online dating. First, don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Don’t send images, phone numbers, e-mails, addresses, full names until you feel comfortable with a person. Also, never meet a person for the first time in a private location. Always meet in a public spot such as a bar. Lastly, use your common sense. If something doesn’t feel right or looks right, trust your gut and act upon it. Leave any situation you feel unsafe. Now these rules will help navigate some of the inherent dangers but people are people. Even if you were meeting and dating people you met in real life, you never can trust a persons true intentions until you get to know them better. And then there’s always those one off times where the person is crazy. Don’t let these situations scare you but keep you alert and safe while dating online.

Have fun, be safe but don’t wait for the government to save you. Be your own protector and biggest advocate.

-Kirk

Follow these ways to start enhancing your online dating.

Heyooo, long time no post. Well I’m back with a new feature on this blog, a top ten list. Ohhh ahhh. Exciting I know. I’m writing this from a male perspective but this equally works well for women, just change the pronouns from female to male. Anyways let’s dive right into it.

10: Spam. I know it’s a dirty word in the internet world but it’s a fantastic tool. When you’re on an online dating site and find a girl that really strikes your fancy (usually looks wise first) send her a quick scripted message that you can then copy and paste to other women whom you like. I know this is impersonal sounding but it’s really a way to leverage risk. Specifically time risk. You don’t want to send messages to women whom have not been active online in months, forgot to delete their profiles, have a boyfriend now, don’t like your profile pictures. This is a simple way to weed out those who just won’t respond. Then the ones that do respond you can go and delve into the specifics that make that person unique and wonderful.

9: Honesty. Please do not lie. In general I tell the truth over 99% of the time. I will however omit some truths until appropriate or not at all if inappropriate. Take this example (albeit contrived): “Do I look fat in this?” reply (if she doesn’t) with “I’m not a huge fan of that but what about the *insert outfit she looks fantastic in*, do you feel that would be appropriate?” *Gets off soap box* How do we apply this honesty online? Height, weight, religion, kids, drinking, smoking…if your online dating site you prefer uses such descriptors to categorize and match people you will only be setting yourself up for disaster by lying. If the person you connect with online wants a date then eventually you won’t be able to hide behind your computer screen. Own the person you are whatever the circumstances, physicalities and the like.

8: Attraction. You need to put your best self forward. Be all you can be. Specifically I mean Continue reading »

How to Get Girls: Part 4 Seducing Your HottieHere we are at the home stretch.  If we’re using baseball lingo the previous 3 parts of your hard worked ~5-8 hours of time invested with a girl just gets you into the on deck circle.  Now let’s see if we  can run the bases.

Seduction requires one to be highly sexual but in a way that is attractive for the woman.  That means you need to be her fantasy.  This usually means someone strong assertive who has the right moves. Don’t worry we’ll discuss the right moves in the next steps.

If you are a virgin, this is going to be a big moment.  But like any first time you might not get it quite right.  It probably will last only a few minutes but you’ll be good to go in a few minutes after.  Just make sure she’s taken care of or she will reject a future sex session.

Step 1: Foreplay

Foreplay is defined as “sexual activity that precedes intercourse.” That is out end goal.  To have sex. You are going to want to evoke arousal.  Pickup artists call this a girls buying temperature.  Here are a few ways to pump up a girls buying temperature. Continue reading »

How to Get Girls: Part 3 Comforting Your New Found GirlieThe third phase of how to get girls comes in the Comfort Phase. The comfort phase is the time you need to spend getting to know the girl, making her feel comfortable around you, making her feel safe, secure and happy with the choices she’s making.  That’s a key phrase, “choices she’s making” because you can’t force a girl to do anything.  You can present your best self but sometimes things won’t work.  She has a boyfriend, is married or just isn’t into you.  But don’t let little speed bumps get you discouraged.  You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.  Even overcoming boyfriend obstacles.  But I’ll touch on that a little later on. But this phase is where you will spend the majority of your pickup time about ~4-6 hours.  This is where nice guys finish first because they are great conversationalists and disarm women.

This phase is all about creating comfort.  How do you create comfort?

Step 1: Act as if you’ve been together for a long time.

What I mean is do the things that couples do. Touch her!  Hold hands, give her subtle touches while you are talking to her, give her a hi five or anything physical that isn’t sexual.  The purpose for this is to get her comfortable with the idea of you touching her.  The goal of course is for you to touch her all over but that’s not until the end of the night/date. If you wait until you’re at your place, in your room the whole interaction is going to feel awkward and unnatural.  By touching her early you remove the awkwardness.

You can play the slaps game (not too hard) or even thumb wrestle if you don’t know how to touch a girl in a subtle way.  Even that will make you seem playful and fun.

Step 2: Ask questions that help build rapport and a deeper connection.

The goal of this step is to find a reason to see her again while learning interests you both share.

  1. Pay Attention: Take notice of what she’s wearing, what she’s saying and how she projects her self image to you.  Is she responsive to your physical touching or does she seem disinterested.  If she seems disinterested you are going to have to demonstrate value to her.  Try telling her the story about Salt if you told her about frogs.  By being interesting she will open up.
  1. Talk to her about passionate feeling experiences: If you’ve ever had an amazing time you should share it with her. Experiences like skydiving, snorkeling, getting caught in a storm, winning the lottery (you lucky bastard) or any other story that’s fun.  Think back to the stories you tell your buddies/family over and over.  Adjust the story so anyone can follow along and enjoy it.  Just make sure you aren’t bragging.  Focus on emotional wealth.  Make her feel like she’s apart of whatever incredible experience you had.  Use alliteration and sense oriented words.
  1. Ask her open ended questions like:
  2. Continue reading »

How to Get GirlsGetting girls is easy.  Getting girls is repeatable.  Getting girls is a process that anyone can learn.  Up until recently getting women to like you was a confusing science.  In fact no one really understood why certain guys were more successful beyond ideas like “He’s good looking” or “He’s got money.”  Luckily, a book came out that revolutionized the entire pickup community; Neil Strauss’ The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists.  (I only suggest books I’ve read and learned a ton from. This is an affiliate link though and if you purchase I will make a small percentage from your purchase.) Although this book isn’t a how-to per say it’s certainly an entertaining primer for anyone interested in learning how to get girls.  What I’ve done in the past 5 years is use Neil’s information as well as several other sources (Mystery Method, Art of Seduction, etc.) to create a simple, repeatable process to get girls.  This is exactly the same way I learned how to pickup girls. It’s a timely process but the rewards are worth it.

I’m not selling this information.  I’m not asking you to download an e-book. I’m going to post my pickup guide in 4 parts on here for free.  I hope it helps those out there looking to better themselves by enriching their lives with beautiful women. Remember anyone can learn and repeat this process.

 

How To Get Girls: Part 1 Creating A Stronger You

First off, we are going to look at ourselves and find areas we need to work on.  These are inter-related to pickup and are essential to being successful in all avenues of life.

Step 1: List 3 accomplishments you want to achieve to make your life happier; state your reasons?

Self reflection is the only way to find goals you want to attain.  Post your list in your bathroom on your mirror.  Repeat your goals every day to yourself.  This will help you work towards your goals daily by vocally acknowledging them.

Step 2: “Your Look” How could you enhance your look?  What addition would make you stand out more?

Our goal here is to make sure you have a cohesive look.  Something that was purposely put together.  You don’t want to look like you just stumbled out of bed and put no effort into your appearance.  Women take great pride, time, effort and money to enhance their look for you.  You should do the same.

If you have no clue where to start then go to your local mall and check out the store mannequins.  These are outfits.  Buy the outfits that you think look good.  Use them in conjunction with men’s magazines like GQ, Stuff, Maxim and department store catalogs.  Also, wear at least one interesting accessory. Could be a watch, belt buckle, wild colored sneakers, anything that is in the style you’re going for and don’t feel silly wearing.

Online Dating StatisticsHow many people actually meet online?  Are the Match.com commercials full of shit or do 1 in 5 relationships start online? Is there a stigma against meeting someone online?  Most of what we see in terms of advertising leads us down the wrong path.  What I want to focus on is the truth behind the online dating claims. So together let’s get down to the nitty gritty and look at some online dating statistics from various research companies. Warning!  This article will get quite technical at times because statistics are a mathematical science and without maintaining the science aspect all findings would just be held as opinions but these are online dating statistics not online dating opinions.  At the end of each research document I will breakdown the data in a few easy to understand sentences.

Online Dating Statistics Infographic

Online Dating Statistics Infographic; Source: http://www.radinfographics.com/graphics/internet/online-dating/

Infographic Breakdown

There are 2 important facts I got from this infographic. First, there are over 20 million eHarmony and 15 million Match.com users.  There are also another 30 million Plenty of Fish users.  So in those 3 sites alone (there are thousands of others out there too) there are 65 million online daters.  That’s amazing.  Also that means 13% of America (303 million) date online but China (1.4 billion) is crushing the online dating market with 140 million online daters.  Second, it’s interesting to see what men and women lie about.  Both lie about their age.  But men lie about their height and income.  It makes perfect sense because men in cave man times had to be strong to protect his family but also have the resources (hunting skills) to feed his family.  Women however, lie about their physical appearance.  Both weight and build.  I understand that too because men pick their potential mates based on specific body types that will yield better offspring.  It’s science and hardwiring at it’s best.  If you’re interested in reading more about Sex and Evolution check out a copy of Matt Ridley’s The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature. It will blow your fucking mind. In fact I’m going to write a few posts dedicated to that book because it will help you learn how to understand women/men better. I’ll link them here once I write em.

Best Free Online Dating Sites...hahaI recently checked out Google Trends to see what some of the latest most popular searches were and “Best Free Online Dating Sites” was at the top of the list.  Frankly, I’m not surprised given that CNN announced that online dating is recession proof. But when I typed in my search for “best free online dating sites” I was given a myriad of crappy websites with lists showing how many hearts out of 5 a website was worth.  Garbage.  These sites aren’t objective.  These sites aren’t there to help you.  They only exist to bring the paid dating websites affiliate traffic.  AKA the guy running the site only wants you to join up so he gets paid.  He doesn’t care if you like the services he listed or not.  In fact, the top listed “free” site is a paid one Match.com.  Why is that?  Well Match pays the highest affiliate prices.  Anyways enough about that.  If you want to see a real list and review of free dating websites continue reading.
