Why do I have such a strong reaction to it?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Am I mad at the guy?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Or am I mad at <strong>HER<\/strong>?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most guys have a perfectly natural fierce competitiveness that being a man requires us to have.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hey, you don&#8217;t want your woman to go off with some other man. That would be really crappy, and it&#8217;s the worst kind of rejection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the reality: You&#8217;re mad at him because you don&#8217;t feel very secure with your woman &#8211; and yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If someone comes along and compliments your car, do you get all crazy-jealous and want to blow the guy up?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No! You feel proud that your tastes are recognized and you&#8217;ve got something that other guys want.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But with a woman, there&#8217;s this side of you that worries that the next seductive guy that comes along could be the one that your woman decides to &#8220;trade-up&#8221; for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why would she do that? Is there something you&#8217;re missing?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well here&#8217;s what *I* think in these situations:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1) I&#8217;m not intimidated by another man&#8217;s interest in my woman. In fact, I usually jokingly push my woman <strong>TOWARD<\/strong> him. This completely scrambles her radar and gets her more frustrated &#8211; and <strong>HOT<\/strong> &#8211; for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2) IF she were to be chasing after some other guy instead of me, I already know that he doesn&#8217;t have what I have. I&#8217;ve spent a few years cultivating my life into something that I find incredibly fun and cool to be a part of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Any woman that walks away from me for another guy is a loser in my book. I&#8217;m better off with her playing for another team. She obviously can&#8217;t appreciate me, and she has no loyalty. Good riddance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are the beliefs to have on the inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s talk about how this belief system translates into external behavior &#8211; The <strong>OUTER <\/strong>Game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If a guy compliments my girlfriend (and I get this ALL the time, and you should be, too, if you&#8217;re dating <strong>QUALITY<\/strong> women&#8230;) I&#8217;ll just smile and thank him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>HIM<\/strong> to <strong>HER<\/strong>: &#8220;Hey, you sure have beautiful eyes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ME<\/strong> to <strong>HIM<\/strong>: &#8220;Why thank you! Yes she does.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll do this in a very non-confrontational, fun kind of way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll make sure that he and I are properly introduced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ME<\/strong> to <strong>HIM<\/strong>: &#8220;Hey, my name&#8217;s Carlos.&#8221; Extend my hand. &#8220;What&#8217;s yours?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll introduce him to my girl, and spend a few minutes making this guy my next best friend.<\/p>\n<p>And all the while, I&#8217;m winking at my girl, making little gestures that I think he&#8217;s the one for her, thumbs-up, etc.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s loving this, of course. And at some point near the end, I&#8217;ll even suggest he get her phone number. I&#8217;ll bring it right out in the open.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You two would actually be pretty cute together&#8230; Dude, you should get her number&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not afraid of losing her, and to throw this out there almost assures that I won&#8217;t.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You see, the simple fact is this: In the early part of dating a woman, she won&#8217;t point out that she&#8217;s with you to other guys, because that would be too obvious to you. And there&#8217;s nothing a woman loves more than guys competing over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the best kind of test to see what you&#8217;re made of. If you&#8217;re insecure and jealous, guess what that tells her about you?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So the next time a guy tries to muscle in on your turf, you welcome him in. As the saying goes, &#8220;Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t have <strong>ANYTHING<\/strong> to worry about if you just treat him as if you are completely convinced that losing her would not kill you. After all, you&#8217;ve got other women that would <strong>LOVE<\/strong> to be with you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Don&#8217;t you?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And this girl is into you because of how you show your confidence and Alpha Power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t she?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, if not, then maybe you need to learn the Secrets of the Alpha Man&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CARLOS XUMA\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alphaconfidence.com\">\u201cAlpha Confidence\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUESTION: <\/p>\n<p>Hello Carlos&#8230; What is the Alpha way of handling a situtation where another man tries to flirt\/compliment my woman where I am standing next to her? <\/p>\n<p>&#8230;That really boils my blood and I want to bomb the guy!
