I think it&#8217;s such a critical point that it needs to be reviewed and restated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Guys, there is <strong>NO<\/strong> magic bullet in dating and attracting women &#8211; other than this:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are not successful with women right now, you need to <strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong> and <strong>PRACTICE MORE<\/strong>. And then leave no other option for yourself than success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: You must <strong>PERSIST<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No ifs, ands, or buts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen some not-very-attractive guys with such great game that they were always lining up a new lady. They were balding, slightly chubby men &#8211; not good looking. But they knew that one thing was going to override any appearance factors: Their <strong>ATTITUDE<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Are these guys getting as much sex as the gorgeous model guys? I suspect many probably are. There&#8217;s also a distinct chance they might not be getting the supermodels to ride home with them in their Ferrari&#8217;s the way some of the gorgeous model guys do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A lot of guys will just throw their hands up at this and shriek, &#8220;Hey! What&#8217;s the <strong>POINT<\/strong> then? If good looking guys get more sex and better looking women, then what gives?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in the letter I got, the reader said this: &#8220;Like many other authors and dating experts you continue to overlook the fact that how you look and appear physically is the most important factor in success with beautiful women.\u00a0 I truly know this from first hand, real experience.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m going to tell you the same thing I told him:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your &#8220;image&#8221; (how you dress, how well groomed you are, etc.) <strong>DOES<\/strong> matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But your looks do not matter all that much. I suspect many guys like you already know this. If you&#8217;ve ever seen a couple and thought, &#8220;<strong>HUH?<\/strong> What the hell does she see in <strong>HIM???<\/strong>&#8221; you know what I mean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s just say for a minute that this is correct and physical appearance is <strong>THE<\/strong> most important factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What then?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What would that mean to you if this &#8216;fact&#8217; were established as 100% correct? Would you give up trying to get with beautiful women if your looks weren&#8217;t a &#8220;10&#8221;?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Would that mean the &#8220;game is over&#8221;? No sex with good looking women for you?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the worst thing you suspected were true, *what would you do then?*\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d have to do what millions of men have to do every day when they&#8217;re faced with a challenge: You figure out a way around it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Looks only get your foot in the door. She can still shove you out and slam the door shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t believe there are specific laws you can use that say &#8220;only beautiful women will sleep with beautiful men.&#8221; Human relationships are not like math where you add up some numbers and always get the same result.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Dating Dynamics I teach are fantastic in that they are <strong>FLEXIBLE<\/strong> and versatile. You can make the laws of attraction bend and flex to what <strong>YOU<\/strong> want by employing very simple strategies. The more and better you learn them, the more success you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is <strong>NO MAN<\/strong> who is a born or condemned failure with women &#8211; <strong>IF<\/strong> he&#8217;s willing to get in there and persist. I did. I was a beaten-down &#8220;Nice Guy&#8221; who once endured a two-year dry spell that would have made a celibate monk weep in his cot at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remember, it&#8217;s easier to change yourself than the rest of the world. It&#8217;s easy to accept an assumption rather than question it and change it in your life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I happen to believe one fact <strong>COMPLETELY<\/strong> and without a doubt with respect to men&#8217;s attitudes. This is one of the guiding principles I disclose in my program The Secrets of the Alpha Man:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You will only attract the quality of woman into your life that your level of self-confidence will allow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Did you catch that?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You will only attract the quality of woman that your current level of self-confidence will allow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sure, a guy who has average looks is not going to be as <strong>IMMEDIATELY<\/strong> appealing to a woman as a hot guy, but in what context? In the meat-market pickup clubs?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remember this critical fact: <strong>HOW<\/strong> you look is less important than the way you make a woman feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever used hotornot.com? It&#8217;s a Web site that lets you put your picture up and have it graded on a scale from 1 to 10. Go there and see what kind of ratings some pictures get. Some people&#8217;s pictures vary anywhere from a 2 to a 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How can this be?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For two reasons:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1) Each woman&#8217;s tastes are different. One woman&#8217;s ugly is another&#8217;s gorgeous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2) You can put up a different picture with a different attitude and look &#8211; but the <strong>SAME<\/strong> person &#8211; and get completely different ratings. Even from the <strong>SAME<\/strong> woman!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How can <strong>THAT<\/strong> be?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Do this: Ask any woman you know to go through a set of pictures of you and have her help you pick out which one is most enticing. And then have her explain her choices to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chances are she won&#8217;t be able to, but the women that can will tell you it&#8217;s all in the attitude (sexiness) you convey. Same person, just different attitudes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The same thing happens in real life. Your appearance is directly influenced by your attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, back to the Truth: How you <strong>LOOK<\/strong> is less important than how you make her <strong>FEEL<\/strong>. But you do have to make the most of what you&#8217;ve got first so that she&#8217;ll be interested enough to peek below the surface.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not having more success with women right now, it&#8217;s because something is still missing. I&#8217;ll bet that I know what this is, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATTITUDE.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every single guy I know who has improved his game with women has shirked off that bitter, whining attitude (that he can&#8217;t get success because of this or that) and he just goes and <strong>DOES IT ANYWAY<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remember that scene in Apollo 13 where Ed Harris talks about the situation and says, &#8220;Failure is not an option!&#8221; There was <strong>NO<\/strong> point in their problem solving that allowed them to throw their hands up and say, &#8220;Can&#8217;t do it! Those guys are just going to have to die up there. We give up.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s <strong>SO<\/strong> essential. You can&#8217;t give yourself the option of failure, or you will probably take that option somewhere along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is <strong>ALWAYS<\/strong> a reason that you&#8217;re not getting the success you want with women, and there is <strong>ALWAYS<\/strong> a solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So my message is this: The only people who fail in this world are those who <strong>PERSEVERE<\/strong>. There are plenty of guys who want to find this mystical magical combination of words that will <strong>&#8220;GET A WOMAN IN BED WITH YOU, TONIGHT!&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t exist, guys. It&#8217;s what they used to call Snake Oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m here to tell you that you <strong>CAN<\/strong> have almost any woman you want, but you&#8217;re going to have to learn and practice a hell of a lot more. It&#8217;s not instantaneous. And there are no &#8220;six magic words&#8221; out there that are going to change that. The great Secret that you&#8217;re all looking for is already in front of you:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANY<\/strong> method will work, if you <strong>REALLY<\/strong> use it and work it. (And it&#8217;s not as hard as you might imagine.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Failure will <strong>NOT<\/strong> be an option.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you employ these principles, and make her feel good about herself and you through the Dating Dynamics principles I teach, you <strong>WILL<\/strong> be more successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now get busy!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Carlos Xuma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PERSISTENCE<\/p>\n<p>I got a letter recently that I thought was provoking and interesting.
