Guide to Understanding Women
Does it ever feel like no matter what you say to a woman, you just can't say the right thing?
Do you ever have problems understanding what women are saying to you?
I always wished I had a guide to understanding women. It would have made my life SO much simpler. Just a short 100 page paperback that explained the basics so I knew what I was dealing with. I could have kept it in my back pocket and whipped it out when I needed it.
Go read my latest article and Guide to Understanding Women, and learn how to understand women and what they're really saying.

Guide to Understanding Women
After I have studied the art of seduction for some time with your newsletters and such to create choice in my life when it comes to women.
But lately I found myself… I shouldn't even be writing this because it feels plain stupid to me…
But here it goes.. Is there, when it comes to women, something called "too much choice"?
______________________
CARLOS XUMA ANSWERS:
Yes, that happens from time to time. It's what's known as a "high quality problem."
In other words, of all the problems you can have, it's a good one.
Other guys hate you, by the way.
Best of luck with that horrible situation you have… Maybe I should stop writing my newsletters and ebooks, and stop creating all this choice in other guys' lives.
Hmmm….
Once you reach this happy place, you will find that you have a new problem: Finding a QUALITY woman.
That's why I teach you how to enjoy your abundance, and find the high quality girls out there.
Meet women you want to be with for more than one night.
Attract Women – the QUALITY women….
If we must do our best to show women that we can provide and protect them as the alpha males, it seems like all the actions and initiatives that you ask us to take are very dominating. Almost like the woman is turned into a "push over", like they shouldn't have a say in relationship matters.
I know it sounds pretty harsh, but is this what ur ultimately getting at?
cheers,
Lance

CARLOS XUMA ANSWERS:
My buddy Lance hits on a good question. You might think with all the whooping and howling I do about the Alpha Male masculinity that I teach that you could go overboard on this stuff, and you could.
But I do encourage balance.
The woman should not be turned into some kind of obedient and supplicating follower.
You need to show balance.
The man takes the lead most of the time. As long as the woman knows she can rely on him, she'll feel safe, and better able to play her feminine role.
But each person should be contributing and moving things forward.
Some of the things I ask you to consider may seem dominating, only because most of us were brought up to be wusses.
Sounds pretty harsh, but it's true.
And what we might consider "dominating" is really just "assertive" and not what television taught us to do.
Every behavior exists on a continuum, and unfortunately the way men really need to be is a pretty far swing from where we are now.
But we're getting there!
Stay Alpha!

I hate getting bad advice.
Don't you?
It sucks, because you waste time taking that bad advice, using it,
and not getting any better. And then you need to RE-learn the GOOD
advice that will get you what you want.
It's really frustrating. You even start to ignore people's advice
after a while because you don't know who to trust after that.
One bit of advice I always heard from my first guitar teacher (and
my first martial arts teacher, and really every teacher I ever met)
was this:
"It takes a lot of practice to get good at something, and you have
to study for hours and hours to get good enough to DO something."
After all, "practice makes perfect."
But I'm here to tell you that's not true at all.
I've only had one guitar teacher in my life, and he had me
practicing scales and theory for weeks. I got rid of him and taught
myself over a couple years and got better than any of my friends
who were taking "lessons."
Now, these teachers mean well, but they are actually making it
harder for people to learn because they expect all this massive
self-discipline up front for almost no payback in the early stages.
Practice does NOT make perfect.
If it was up to my first teachers, I would have spent a couple
years PRACTICING before I ever got out there and started DOING.
And this is the WORST way to learn.
In fact, if you spend too much time "practicing" and trying to get
ready to do it, you actually create a lot of fear and anxiety, and
you usually get frustrated and quit.
*** BIG REVELATION ***
Here's the big secret to success that most people will never tell
you. It's so important that I want you to write it down somewhere
and put it on your bathroom mirror so you can read it every day.
It applies to anything you want to learn, but especially with
dating and women.
I'm very VERY serious about this.
The most important step to getting good with women is FAST SUCCESS.
Because FAST SUCCESS is LASTING success.
When I taught kids guitar, the first thing I made sure someone
could do was play a simple SONG as soon as possible. (Usually with
power chords, because they're easy to do.)
And I saw them smile as they learned "Smoke on the Water" or "Iron
Man" in just a few minutes.
That hit of success juice is what keeps you in the game so you
learn more. Your brain thinks "Hey, this ain't so hard…" and you
keep trying. All because you laid the best foundation: An
experience of FAST SUCCESS that programmed your brain to have fun.
And keep coming back for more.
You MUST get a quick hit of success with women early in learning
dating and attraction skills, or you run the risk of quitting too
soon, or creating performance (AKA "Approach") anxiety.
And yet there are still "gurus" out there that want you to learn
every possible line, opener, story, routine, and close before you
ever go out in the field and start USING this stuff.
(These people are sometimes called "keyboard jockeys" because they
know their stuff, but they never actually go out and talk to women
to use it.)
I want to save you from that, as well as give you the right
foundation you need to improve your skills as far as you want to go.
And not get stuck in fear or anxiety of your own ability.
I sat down and went through all my notes over the last 8-10 years
of working on my own game, and I pulled out the QUICK success gems.
These are the tips and techniques that will get you FAST success
with women.
And I put it into a framework that any guy can learn in just a few
hours.
Now, this isn't a magic pill, but it's as close to one as you'll
ever get when you want to learn how to at-tract women. You can
literally learn this stuff in an afternoon and then go out that
night to use it and get success quickly.
It's my entry level program, and I call it my "Get a Girlfriend -
FAST" program.
You'll learn stuff like:
- My #1 Attraction-Starting Tip – If you do this ONE thing with
women, you'll drive up attraction with EVERY woman you meet, and
yet it's the one thing that most guys NEVER do… with examples
that I use…
- My #1 Attraction-Killing Trap – If you avoid this one behavior,
you'll be able to increase your dating success massively – and with
almost no effort…
- My top 8 Mistakes men make with women – and how to avoid them…
- What it is that creates nervousness and anxiety when you meet
women, and how to push it out of your head…
- Understanding Shame – the limiting factor of every man's life…
and how to get past this limiting obstacle once and for all…
- 3 steps to create self-confidence through action in your life -
and the missing element of self-confidence that you won't learn
from your therapist – or anyone else…
And this is just the first 20 minutes of the program.
In the rest of the program, I'll teach you my complete blueprint
for handling women – from first meeting, to first phone call, to
the first date, to the first time you get intimate with her…
And for you guys that want a steady girlfriend, I'll teach you my
basics of making a (shhhh) relationship work.
Oh, and I'm even including my secrets of turning a friend into a
girlfriend, and how to win back the woman you lost.
If you're serious about turning your dating life up to its full
potential, and probably tripling or quadrupling the number of women
you have in your life right now, then you owe it to yourself to
grab this program.

PICK UP LINES: Do Pickup Lines Really Work?
I'm sure you've heard some pretty funny pickup lines out there.
Here are just a few of the pick up lines I've heard in my time:
- "If you were a new sandwich at Mcdonalds, you'de be called the McGorgeous."
- "If you were a booger I'd pick you first."

“Test Your Wingman Before You Fly With Him”
Regarding the comment I received about…
“I asked the waitress who her Orthodontist was. My friend was all over me about how lame that was."
This brings up a good point.
He might not have liked ANY opener you used…
Remember, not all wingmen are created equal.
Just because you are with one of your buddies, doesn't mean he's a wingman who has your best interest in mind.
I've had friends I'm sitting with even start arguments with me purposely so they can look cool in front of the waitress or women at another table.
Some guys just act completely different and freak out when they are around women.
Out of a survival mode, they try and verbally "kill you" so they can have the woman for themselves.
Some guys are not team players, and when you think they are there to help you,
…they are just waiting for their opportunity to throw you under the bus and go after the woman themselves.
So know they act around women BEFORE you trust them with helping you by being a wingman who's a "team player".

CARLOS COMMENTS:
This is an excellent point. So many guys assume (wrongly) that your wingman is going to be an unbiased and level-minded helper.
Sometimes they're just jealous fools. Sometimes they're just learning the game like you, and don't really know what to do.
Remember, there is no force of denial greater than a mans ego.
Choose your wingmen well!
Thanks to -F.J. Shark

"Do You Shape Up For Sex?”
I think most guys at one time or another have wondered why women or that specific woman may not be attracted to them. At first glance it looks like all the right pieces are there but things just don’t quite materialize as we think they should. Many times this is when you start to wonder is there something outside of your control; is there something missing.
There are different camps out there when it comes to what really attracts women.
Some say it really is all personality and that, if you learn the attraction techniques and mindset you will be able to attract gorgeous women in your sleep.
While I do believe it's very important to learn these skills, I think some focus too much on it and rationalize to themselves it's all they need. If they can memorize every line, be prepared for any scenario they are in a sense bullet-proof and ready for success.
Then there's the group that thinks all you need is big shoulders, big chest and a six pack and you will have women dragging you home to have their way with you.
I don't agree with this either because I don't care how built you are, that will only last so long if you can only muster shallow, personality lacking conversation.
Again, there is value in taking care of your body not only for physical appearance, but also how it affects confidence and mindset. As a man you want to become the ultimate package and to do that one must look at the whole picture.
There is a place in the middle; the truth very rarely resides in the extremes so that’s what we’re going to talk about today. The biological factors that come into play that most men are not aware of.
Research has actually been done to look deeper into why some women are attracted to certain guys and why some are not.
For example, Polish scientists discovered that when it comes to choosing a man, the more sexy and curvaceous a woman is the more importance she places on a man's looks.
Curvier women tend to have more estrogen and a greater maternal urge to find a partner who looks like he will produce strong babies, provide for and protect a family.
Women are wired to be attracted to certain physical traits just as they are to behavior, confidence and success. Without trying to sound barbaric you see this in nature over and over again. When it comes to mating, whether you’re talking about lions or even chimpanzees, the more powerful dominant males have more success.
The weak and more submissive males are beaten up, last to eat and many times they are almost forced to go out on their own or die. We’re not talking about animals; however, the similarities in sexual behavior are undeniable.
According to David Frederick and his team of researchers at UCLA, muscular men are likely to have more sex partners than their less-physically impressive competition. They also found that muscular men are twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners as less muscular men.
Their research suggests men with muscles are comparable to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a masculine mate. "Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men," said study author David Frederick of UCLA.
Interestingly enough there are some studies out there that say women are more concerned with how much money men make and their level of commitment. Fredrick of UCLA found that muscularity and physical characteristics actually mattered more.
In the study 141 women were asked to look at six standardized silhouettes of men ranging from more muscular to slender. “Most preferred a toned man who was more likely to commit over a muscle-bound man they perceived as more volatile, aggressive and dominant.”
So here’s the deal, women are not looking for some muscle bound maniac but rather a guy who’s in shape enough that it’s noticeable and also displays behavior consistent with commitment.
Here we are again back somewhere between the extremes. As I said before, most times we find the truth somewhere in the middle; life is about balance and it’s a man’s job to find it. He that can accomplish this will live a life to be envied and enjoyed.
So at the end of the day it’s important for us as men to learn the laws of attractiveness and the behaviors that are consistent with those laws. It’s equally important to understand certain biological factors are at play that just can’t be avoided. Women are wired to be attracted to the physical as much as the behavior and confidence you project. Take care of the mind and take care of the body.
Think about this, you may be funny, have that attractive magnetic personality but if the guy who is muscular and physically in balance does too who do you think is going to be leaving with her at the end of the night.

HOW TO GET A GIRL TO LIKE YOU…
Love your program Carlos, and I have also noticed a better difference in my interaction with women already! My question is: There is this goth/industrial dance club in downtown Austin were I was hanging out with a buddy of mine one night.
After talking for a while he went to go dance and I was left alone at my table. I didn't want to look like some loner wierdo so I decided to do what I'm not very good at….dancing. I didn't want to seem insecure by doing some nervous looking half-ass "bob my head & snap my fingers" routine, so I just let it out as uninhibited as I could without running into anyone.
I think I might have made a fool of myself and I felt a very uncomfortable feeling of people staring at me. When I found my friend he was talking to this girl I saw on the dance floor so I went up to them(just to be sociable,no pick-up)and she darted of as fast as she could (if she liked my friend wouldn't she be more polite with one of his buddies?)
I like this club alot and I get along pretty good with the owner and his staff, even on that night. However I would like the general people to be comfortable with me so my question is this: Is there any way I can repair this social damage and still make friends(not just meet girls) with the regular patrons?
Am I forever branded as "that guy"?

CARLOS XUMA ANSWERS:
It's funny, but there seems to be a lot of advertising and social awareness that is based around guy's fears of being "that guy."
Of course "that guy" is always someone who is unbelievably dorky, or just NOT the cool guy.
Now if by "that guy" you mean the guy who is in his own reality, makes his own fun, and doesn't give a shit about what other people think, then YES – BE THAT GUY!
Look, the best thing you can do is to not even allow that impression that you've created "social damage" to creep into your head.
We always seem to create a horrific scenario when we feel like we've made a social mistake, but in fact, the mistake was that you were not OWNING your behavior.
I've been a complete asshole, but I owned it, and I didn't make excuses or even run around looking for forgiveness. I just went on with my life.
The chick that ran off probably is so caught up in appearances and superficial "what will people think of me" childish thinking that she's not capable of hanging with the fun people. I would have run after her and caught her. Someone like that deserves a little social "awareness."
No, you're not forever branded. You just need to set out to establish some social comfort for yourself there by being consistent with yourself, and really pulling people into your reality a bit more.
If you were a punk and complete butt munch, then I say make amends and get over it. Chill and be the cool guy at the club for a few weeks. No one will remember it by the next weekend.
What was the last socially awkward thing you remember happening to someone else? I can't even remember the last person to do something. We just forget these things.
This is a bit complicated to explain here, but you'll probably get a lot out of this:
HOW TO BE A CONFIDENT MAN – even if you're with a bunch of lamers.
It's where every guy who wants to improve his inner game needs to start.
I hope this helped…
