Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers; your e-mail may even be answered in the process.
This week's Q&A focuses on how to deal with a flakey woman and picking up despite your looks or bank account size. What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
Women seem to flake out on guys all the time. What do you suggest to prevent this?
First off, I recommend avoiding the whole “I’ll come over to your place and pick you up at 7” thing.
It sends all the wrong messages -- especially the one that says, “I’m courting you, I’m chasing you, please approve of me.”
You need to keep your power for yourself.
Do this by either having her come to your place and leave for a cup of tea from there or meet her at a coffee shop that's CLOSE to your place. That way, if she DOES flake out, you can chill out with a cappuccino and you’re still close to home.
Also, avoid making a date too far out in advance.
I've found that oftentimes, you can call a woman up and say, "Let's go get a cup of coffee RIGHT NOW." Women love men who are spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment kind of guys.
What should a guy do if what you’re teaching feels “unnatural” to him?
Well, the first thing I want to point out is that at some point in your life EVERYTHING felt unnatural to you.
This is just another skill you're going to need to learn.
Don't let the idea that you've been shy up until now lead to a mental block about the issue.
Just get out there and practice and work with the materials.
Next, it's probably a good idea for you to start ONLINE.
Get an AOL account or some free instant messenger account and start messaging women to chat. Chatting online gives you time to consider what you're going to say, and it keeps distractions to a minimum. There's no body language to deal with, etc.
Every day, take some time to read the sections in Double Your Dating on humor and being Cocky & Funny, and then get online and practice. If you have my CD series, then listen to the sections on communicating with women as well.
Finally, you really need to make friends with a couple of guys who are good with women, and WATCH what they do in person. You'll learn a lot by combining what you've learned with the real-world experience of watching guys in person who are skilled at attracting women. This combination should help you get up to speed much faster.
How much do looks and money play in succeeding with women?
It doesn't take 20 years of studying human behavior to figure out that looks and money can attract women.
If you have good looks and lots of money, you will definitely have an advantage over the average Joe.
Looks and money will allow you to hang out in places like Southern France where a drink is 40 bucks... and there are lots of babes there.
But here's the KEY…
A guy who is AMAZINGLY handsome and SUPER rich will still fail MOST of the time with the women he interacts with if his PERSONALITY isn't together -- especially if he's too much of a WUSSY. On the other hand, a guy who REALLY understands what makes women feel ATTRACTION, and knows how to interact with them in a way that grabs their attention and keeps it, can succeed often even if he's broke and ugly.
You'll notice that the rich and handsome guys that are the REAL mack daddies are the ones who ALSO understand women and have Cocky, Funny and Dominant personalities.
I get far too many e-mails from:
1- Guys who are successful and good-looking who are very unsuccessful with women.
2- Average-looking, average-income guys who have TONS of success with women.
A man who understands women, communication and ATTRACTION will be more successful than a rich, handsome guy who doesn't.
