You never want to have to buy one of these…
New Video by Dave M.
Hey, go watch this video now: UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO
It’s the latest video from Dave M. and it might be
the coolest internet dating video you’ve ever seen.
Seriously.
No need to opt in or anything, it’ll just play.
In this video, Dave goes over a simple technique
that shows you how ANYONE can get more women
emailing them back.
(He makes it very freaky easy…)
Plus he actually shows you exactly what to do so
you can do it too.
My favorite one is the ‘swiping’ method he shows
you.
Seriously – this is good. No cost, no shenanigans –
just good content as usual.
Watch it now. You know how weird Dave is … he
might take it down at any minute…
Enjoy
- Carlos X.
P.S. He’s also giving away a 31-minute “Cherrypicker”
video for free.
Some people who saw the sneak preview of this
said it’s some of the most eye-opening, high quality,
and immediately usable internet dating information
they’ve ever seen.
…And that includes the stuff they’ve paid for.
I haven’t seen it so I don’t know what it’s like. I did,
however, sign up to get is when it comes out and
I suggest you do the same.
Dating Horror Stories
Here are a few horror stories I found at sfgate.com.
Pretty amusing, and I’ve added lessons to their stories for you:
______________________
“I met this one girl in a chat room. She lived in Missouri and I live in California. She seemed sweet, and we talked online just about every day.
“She had just gotten a house to live in that belonged to her grandmother. She kept asking me if I would go to Missouri to live with her, and kept saying she loved me to tears. I was flattered. I told her I needed to save up money for about three months. I worked two jobs for three months and was completely exhausted.
“So I then had lots of money and I told her I was ready to be with her. I asked if I could come over. She said, ‘I don’t care, I have two guys staying here now.’
“A word to the wise: Look that girl in the eyes.”

CARLOS XUMA COMMENTS:
Another word to the wise – date in your own area!
Long distance relationships can work, but they usually come from a scarcity mindset. They come from desperation rather than a healthy attitude.
Trust me, there are probably plenty of women in your area that you don’t know about yet.
Don’t be a sucker from your loneliness.
Next story – from a woman…
______________________
“I met a guy on CraigsList and we had our first date. And in the middle of telling me things that he liked to do and talking about his ex-wife he goes from ‘we liked sailing and buying antiques’ to ‘and I like corsets …’
Excuse me, corsets?
He keeps talking as if he hasn’t said anything off, and I stop him and ask, ‘What do you mean by corsets?’ And he says, yeah, he liked antique corsets and his wife would model them for him.
Oh yeah, you bet this is an appropriate topic of conversation only one hour after meeting someone. I grabbed a cab and ran home and made sure all the doors and windows were securely locked!”
______________________
CARLOS XUMA COMMENTS:
Yeah, that was a tiny bit weird, but running home and making your doors and windows were locked is a BIG over-reaction.
Trust me, there are far freakier things going on out there. A preference for old-fashioned lace attire is not so bad. Worse things have happened, honey. Get over it.
At least HE wasn’t the one modeling the corsets!
Next story…
______________________
“I am a 50-year-old man, slim, considered good looking and fairly successful.
“I recently answered two ads. The first woman looked vaguely like her picture, although in the picture she had long blond hair, and when we met her hair was short and had long, dark roots. And the picture was better looking than she was in person, and her personality didn’t quite fit the profile. The second woman’s picture showed a youthful-looking, long-haired redhead, looking 10 years younger than her posted age. Upon meeting, I barely recognized her. She had deep facial wrinkles and severely short red hair and looked 10 years older than her posted age. AGH!
“I almost canceled all of the subscriptions until another lovely woman popped up on my account, and I am going to try again. Hope springs eternal, I guess.
“Men will probably say that the women are using their best outdated photos to lure us into meeting them. And women say that men are trying to cheat on their wives or girlfriends. Or they lie about their accomplishments, job, etc.”

CARLOS XUMA COMMENTS:
Canceling all your memberships because of just a couple misfires?
Guys, don’t over-react to these kinds of things.
I’d suggest that guys realize the rules of dating online:
1) You will always run into people who misrepresent themselves. Get over it. This is simply the nature of the beast.
Remember that these people are not inherently evil.
They’re just damn lonely. Perhaps you can relate to that and feel a little compassion?
2) Don’t let just ONE bad incident turn you away from online dating.
Or even several weird events. There are no bad dates – only great stories to tell your future girlfriend.
But you won’t have that future girlfriend if you quit because of a few things like this.
PERSEVERE!
3) Keep your sense of humor!
Let’s face it: Online dating is here to stay. It should be an ESSENTIAL part of every man’s dating breakfast.
Learn how to use it effectively so that you can A) laugh at your great stories, B) not take everything too seriously.

The Difference Between Men And Women
Take a look at this image, and tell me what you think of this study.
What they did was trace the eye movements of men and women as they looked at a particular advertisement.
Their results were very telling.
CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW TO SEE THE FULL VERSION:
Interesting, isn’t it?
Women immediately gravitate to the face, and then scan the rest of the ad.
Men are drawn to the sexual areas of the picture first, and then down the rest of the ad.
This has obvious implications in advertising, but also in the concept of male “eye control.”
Don’t stare at the boobies, guys. She knows when you do.
And even though this is funny…
Well, guys, I’ve got mixed feelings about today’s entry.
- It’s funny. Some great moments here. Definitely makes a good point about THINKING before you give a woman a gift.
But on the other hand:
- Yet another way men are shamed into submission and fear of women.
But I’ll let you decide on this one.
Thumbs up, or thumbs down?
Why?

9-YEAR-OLD REVEALS DATING SECRETS
From the NY Post:
9-YEAR-OLD REVEALS DATING SECRETS
He’s only 9, but this pint-sized pickup artist already knows plenty about pleasing the ladies.
So much, in fact, that Alec Greven’s dating primer, “How to Talk to Girls” – which began as a handwritten, $3 pamphlet sold at his school book fair – hit the shelves nationwide last week.
The fourth-grader from Castle Rock, Colo., advises Lothario wannabes to stop showing off, go easy on the compliments to avoid looking desperate – and be wary of “pretty girls.”
“It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry,” he writes in Chapter Three.
“Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”
He advises, “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don’t let them get to you.”
Over a few Shirley Temples yesterday at Langan’s on West 47 Street, Alec said that he culled his wisdom by peeking at his peers at play.
“I saw a lot of boys that had trouble talking to girls,” Alec said.
As for his how-to, he concedes, “I never expected people to buy it like a regular book in a bookstore.”
But with classic plain-spoken advice – like “comb your hair and don’t wear sweats” – it’s no surprise his 46-page book was a hit with boys and girls of all ages.
He believes the best way to approach a girl is to keep it to a simple “hi.”
“If I say hi and you say hi back, we’re probably off to a good start,” he said.
As for his own love life, he said he is not dating anyone at the moment. “I’m a little too young,” he confessed.
In his book, published by HarperCollins, he suggests holding off on falling in love until at least middle school.
Dating – which he defines as going out to dinner without your parents – is for “kind of old” people, who are 15 or 16.
Officials at the Soaring Hawk Elementary School said he wrote the book – which was the runaway bestseller at its book fair – for kids, but believe anyone can find inspiration in it.
Alec’s mother, Erin Greven, credits her son’s beyond-his-years insight to his avid reading.
“He reads nonstop. At dinner, I say, ‘Put your book down,’ ” she said.
Alec – who just finished a children’s book on the Watergate scandal – said he wants to be a full-time writer when he grows up, with a weekend job in archaeology or paleontology.

I say good for him…
This kid might be my competition someday. It gives me great hope that some guys are learning the right information early on.
I am just happy that – even though the article is written in a cutesie sort of condescending tone – people seem to understand that it is something of a problem for young guys.
My only concern is that his contribution will be laughed at as just silly adolescent ideas.
My favorite line:
“Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”
Yes, they can be, Alec.
Yes, indeed.
