He&#8217;s got my back to the very end and I don&#8217;t doubt it for a second.<\/p>\n<p>But, everywhere we go&#8230; and I mean<strong> EVERYWHERE<\/strong>, girls flock to him&#8230; literally. We&#8217;ll be on the street, hot girls just stare at him. We&#8217;ll be at a party or a bar, hot girls approach him, now imagine that! I think you know where I&#8217;m going with this. He is a good looking guy and all, but it&#8217;s got to be something more than just that.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is <strong>I WANT HIS RESULTS<\/strong>! And, I want to know how he achieves them. Advice?<\/p>\n<p>Paul<br \/>\n______________________<br \/>\n<strong>CARLOS XUMA&#8217;S ADVICE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>When we see a &#8216;natural&#8217; &#8211; a guy who is naturally attractive to women &#8211; we sometimes fall into the mistaken belief that he&#8217;s got something magical &#8211; an ability that must surely make him a holy being. (Yeah, I&#8217;m exaggerating, but not far from what you&#8217;re thinking in your head if you get down to it.)<\/p>\n<p>Again, it&#8217;s a comparison trap that you can fall into when you look at another person and want <strong>THEIR<\/strong> results.<\/p>\n<p>You<strong> CAN&#8217;T<\/strong> have his results specifically. It&#8217;s chasing something you can&#8217;t control right now, and it will actually lower your ability.<\/p>\n<p>The guys that WANT to have a certain result, like a specific football player&#8217;s ability, or a politician&#8217;s social skill, rarely accomplish it. The ones that get the result are the ones who focus <strong>SPECIFICALLY <\/strong>on <strong>THEIR OWN<\/strong> development and growth. Because that&#8217;s where it all starts.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to get too caught up in the mechanics, because the mindset is    10 times as important. If you&#8217;re chasing another person&#8217;s results, even if    you think that&#8217;s what you want for yourself, you&#8217;re going to hurt your game,    because you&#8217;ll always have a standard set that is not <strong>your    identity<\/strong>, and it    <strong>undermines your sense of self worth<\/strong> at that moment because you&#8217;re not achieving    it.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you want to use him as some kind of <strong>benchmark      of your own performance<\/strong>,    it will not help.<\/p>\n<p>So you want to know what his <strong>attraction      secret<\/strong> is?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s his secret:<\/p>\n<p>1) He&#8217;s      physically attractive, so he&#8217;s got a flashy lure. Women will be drawn    in by the appearance. This is good only for about 30 seconds, while she waits    to hear what comes out of his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>2) He&#8217;s      got a good image. I&#8217;ll bet he&#8217;s got a style of appearance (clothes,    hair, etc.) that makes him look good.<\/p>\n<p>3) He&#8217;s      got a charismatic attitude. He&#8217;s persuasive, and he can communicate    well.<\/p>\n<p>4) He&#8217;s      not giving off subtle pings of insecurity and instability with his mannerisms,      speech, and body language. These tend to come out on their own when      you&#8217;re not paying attention to your inner game and your state of mind.<\/p>\n<p>5) He&#8217;s    not focused on being like or doing as well as anyone else. He&#8217;s <strong>surrendered      to the present moment<\/strong> and accepted things <strong>RIGHT NOW<\/strong>.      As they are, good, bad, or indifferent. He rolls with it.<\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you that anyone that&#8217;s <strong>good      with women and confident with women<\/strong> has learned these strategies and has given up the need to compare on any level.<\/p>\n<p>You can only sell your product when you&#8217;re convinced of its value. You don&#8217;t    see anyone selling their goods or services while dumbstruck in awe over their    competitors, do you?<\/p>\n<p>This is the essence of <strong>Charisma<\/strong>. And the secrets of <strong>compelling      communication and persuasion<\/strong> are easy to learn.<\/p>\n<p>I cover the complete ins and outs of handling difficult      people in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alphaconfidence.com\/conversation-persuasion\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Alpha      Man Conversation &amp; Persuasion      program.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos,<\/p>\n<p>Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I gotta tell you about my roommate because I want to understand more about what he is doing and how he is doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,47],"tags":[32,52,14,57],"class_list":["post-382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-qa","category-silver-members","tag-dating-advice","tag-dating-recommendations","tag-dating-tips","tag-silver-member-dating-tips-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carlosxuma.com\/dating-seduction-techniques\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
