For more information about our services, including online dating profile rewrites and critiques, as well as live approach training, click here.

Let's face it, confidence is a tremendous component of successfully attracting women. Unfortunately, or fortunately for some, success breads confidence and inturn breeds greater success. If you are lacking success in approaching women, fear not. Don't wait any longer - visit our services page.

For most men, money is an area that leads to a drop in confidence. This need not be the case. Instead of putting off starting "that business", write a business plan. Having trouble saving money? Open an online savings account. Start small and add slowly, it adds up! If you are upto your eyeballs in debt, get out from underneath. It's possible, and may cost you a lot less than your minimum monthly payments that will keep you in debt FOREVER. Try Prosper.com - sign up today, don't wait. If you are looking for better returns on the money you have, try acting as a lender on Prosper. Join now from our link and get a $25 sign up bonus. Even if you only fund with the minimum $50, you have half your money back already! Sure there is some risk, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. FYI, Stephen just funded his first Prosper loan. Check out the site, do your due diligence, and maybe we'll see you on Prosper.

Here's a good example of what could happen if you try and turn around your financial situation the wrong way.

I was at a local pub when this couple started going at it by the side of the bar. I hope you don't promote public displays of affection. What are your thoughts?
-Michael, San Diego, California

********OUR COMMENTS********

One quick question Michael; do you like extra starch on your dry cleaning? In reality we agree there is a line one should be aware of in public. This also depends on the venue. You said you were at a pub. Was there no were more isolated for these two to go? Our opinion, there is always a way to get someone to a more private setting. PDA is not for most. One last question Michael, did they look like this??

Sent as a comment: Guys, I'm in college and feel that finding a girlfriend is the hardest thing in the world? How can I get some action? - Jimmy from Binghamton, NY

Whoa there young grasshopper, or should I say bearcat? You must be confused. There is a BIG difference between having a girlfriend and getting some. Based upon the plethora of information you gave us (read: nothing), I'd say you're looking to get some and not a girlfriend. Either way, have you tried meeting people? Going out? Approaching women? Online meat markets, oops I mean online dating? Email us with specifics and we'll be glad to help you out.

In the meantime, we found something more difficult than finding a date. It's called Ninja Warrior and it's on G4. I never really heard of the channel or show until a friend turned me onto it. Pretty funny stuff. Here's a quick clip off of YouTube.

Gifts you may want to avoid giving this holiday season

For more information about our services, including online dating profile rewrites and critiques, as well as live approach workshops, click here.

Ok, you're dating and thinking about giving a gift to that special woman. Here are a few gifts you may want to avoid.

1. A vacuum cleaner.
2. Met season tickets for a girl who hates sports. I know you're a Met fanatic, but the gift is for her.
3. An Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Yeh, you already have Wii (and are tired of it), but does she really want it? Or do you?
4. Clothing size Medium or Large. She's a "small". Know your sizes.
5. Lingerie. You're thinking we haven't done that yet, but I want to. Or, she always wears cotton and I want leather with whips and chains. Her response... see ya.
6. A ring. You have no plans on marriage but thought it would be nice. Great way to send the wrong message and in the end hurt her.
7. A treadmill. Am I fat?
8. A gym membership. Am I really that fat?
9. Cash. Uh, could you take a moment and actually think of a gift? Even a stinking gift card would be better! Nothing says I love you, or at least like you, like an envelope with crumpled bills!
10. A Family Guy T-shirt You think it's a funny show, she thinks its crap.

These guys apparently gave bad gifts:

Remember to tell them the rules: you can't touch the bottle or the coins, you can't hold the bill, and you can't use any tools. Have fun!

Field Report: The Laughing Girls

For more information about our services, including online dating profile rewrites and critiques, as well as live approach workshops, click here.


Stephen & Alex,
You wrote an article about "OSO" a couple of days ago. Could you give an example of what to say? Thanks.
"Morpheus"


Ok "Morpheus," if that is your real name. The best way to answer that is with a field report.

We were recently at a lovely outdoor bar in Rockville Centre, New York. A pair of cuties were spotted sitting at a table talking to each other and laughing. Why was no one moving in? Was everyone intimidated? Good thing we weren't.

Implementation of O.S.O. (observation, story, inference)was in order!

I walk over to the empty chair next to "Nikki" and say hello. They look surprised that someone sat next to them at the table.
"Couldn't help notice you laughing. It's my turn to laugh. Tell me a funny story." (OBSERVATION)
"I don't know any funny stories," she replies.
"I'll tell you one then!" I proceed to make up some story about a kid falling off a skateboard. (STORY)
I finish my story, and know I have her hooked.
"Oh, I have a funny story for you." AMAZING, she's comfortable with me and is telling me a story, it was actually a funny story. While telling me the story Alex begins to move in on "Dina" while "Nikki" can't stop touching my hand and knee while talking. Time to move her away from her friend.
"Let me ask you something," I ask. (I'll come up with an OPINION later, but I don't think I'll need one.)
"Sure," she responds attentively.
"Let's go somewhere quieter," I propose.
She looks over at "Dina," as if to ask permission. Alex has her occupied. Great job wingman! We move to an area in the back and she makes the move on me.

O.S.O. Thanks again.
