They feel insecure about everything. "Do I look fat" . They are
insecure about their bodies, even models confess they aren't completely
satisfied with their bodies. When going down most of them are insecure

etc..." </span><br><span class="postbody">

      <title><![CDATA[5 ways to become a social man]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4356488</link>
      <description><![CDATA[&gt; "A generation of men raised by women. I&#146;m wondering if another woman is the 
answer we really need."<br>&gt; <br>&gt; We were raised by women and we were 
taught what to and what not to do, but they taught us the right things?<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; One thing they don't teach you is how to be a social man, it is 
supposed that being social is a natural characteristic but in the real world, 
social dynamics are so complex that you need to study a lot of stuff to be an 
expert. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; One thing you can start doing right now is reading. 
Read books, magazines and newspapers. Find the stuff you like and read about it 
and even read books or articles about the things you don't like. This will make 
your brain work, you will be opened to new perspectives and you will have things 
to talk about later on, in a conversation. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Now here are 5 ways 
to improve your social interactions with anyone. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 1. Happy and 
smiling. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Social persons tend to be always active, with more 
energy they are excited, they are happy and they are smiling. This is the start 
because if you are a negative person then you should start working in this point 
without going further. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 2. Opened to new ideas and 
perspectives. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Social persons tend to be open minded, they like 
to hear other people opinions even if they disagree completely. <br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; They have an open body language and they project confidence.<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; <br>&gt; 3. Remember things. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Things like a persons 
name and details in conversations give you big points, especially with women. 
<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Imagine you met a girl and she tells you she is interested in 
a particular sport, next time when you talk with her you ask about that 
particular sport she will be amazed. People that remember details about other 
persons life tend to be loved by everyone.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 4. Say hi 
to everyone.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Say hi to everyone if there is someone that you 
met once make sure to say hi. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Greet everyone. Wish happy 
birthday, happy new year to everyone. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; ALWAYS BE A 
GENTLEMAN.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 5. Give complements to people<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; If you feel like saying some nice words, then do it. Do not force a 
complement. Be creative when telling a complement if she has beautiful eyes she 
probably knows it, but she doesn't know that every time she smiles her eyes have 
a beautiful spark that you love. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; * always have a nice joke to 
tell<br>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Sarging alone]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4322638</link>
      <description><![CDATA[&gt; Subject: Sarging alone<br><br>&gt; Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 
Yesterday for some reasons I went sarging alone. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Most of the 
time I go out with my friends and then I go sarging alone, but yesterday I went 
completely alone.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; I want to point out some useful tips and 
techniques that you my find useful: <br>&gt; <br>&gt; * First of all you have to 
understand that there is nothing wrong with going out alone.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; * 
As soon as you arrive open your warm up set, open your first real set and as 
soon as you can find your root set. In this root set what you want is to leave 
some open discussions so you can come back any time and chat. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; 
* Don't walk alone, stay in the set while you just fluff talk and look around to 
see if you can open another set.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; *Merge groups leave every set 
saying, I will come back and introduce you to some friends you will like, come 
back and introduce everyone (huge DHV)<br>&gt; <br>&gt; *Lock in in every set 
you open [get the dominant position] , you will DHV and it looks that they are 
gaming you.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; *Carry props (hat, scarf, necklace, etc... ) so you 
can give them away and then you have a good reason to approach again. Do the 
same with girls props take her hat and open another set, she will go after 
you(once again huge DHV).<br>&gt; <br>&gt; *If you run out of sets, take your 
time, go to the bar, go to the bathroom and start again. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; ** 
Remember the game is 90% mental<br>&gt; <br>&gt; SUCESS, <br>&gt; <br>&gt; FOR 
YOU,<br>&gt; <br>&gt; XFMAN<br>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[My style]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4301406</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I was asked in the private forum about my style, what was the road I took and how it was... <br><br>Well it was awesome, here is the story:<br><font size="3"><br><br><br style="font-style: italic;"></font><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><font size="3">Well my style is a mix of many stuff I had learned
through my experience. I love Mystery Method because it is the method
that really gives you a structure and it is a step by step guide. I
created a lot of routines and a lot of adaptations for every stage of
the m3 model, I became a real fan of cold reading, to the point I
became a master, I created my own cold reading routines and lines, I
create many games and many cold reading lines to create rapport. Then I
read some David D, I found really interesting the psychology behind
thingyy &amp; Funny, I pushed myself. I studied every interaction, if I
saw a guy telling a joke, I took mental notes of the expressions, the
voice, etc... I found NLP interesting and I studied a lot of NLP
patterns, I create my own patterns and routines based on the things I
learned. Then I studied sex, lots and lots of books about sex,
foreplay, kissing, intercourse, orgasm, female masturbation; I became
obsessed in giving pleasure and learning how to give it. </font><br><br><font size="3">I
read some social dynamics, some stuff about other guys, new methods
from some new PUAs and well almost three years in the community, I can
say I really know a lot of stuff. </font><br><br><font size="3">But then experience shows
you more things... what works what don't, what works in your country,
what works in your social level, you need to adapt all the material to
your age, your skills, your situation, your friends, your targets,
etc... </font><br><br><br><font size="3">And then when you start going out and doing this
stuff and you start to listen to women, there comes many moments that
make you learn a lot...</font><br><br><font size="3">You start understanding women, why they
act the way they do, you become more sensitive to women reactions, you
can tell what she is thinking by the look in her eyes. You become
confident and the interesting thing about confidence is that it depends
in you, it depends on your perception of the world, it depends on how
you react, it is the way you think about yourself and how much you care
about what others think, its about feeling good with yourself, is
knowing what you are and what you don't. </font><br><br><font size="3">Confidence is knowing what you are and what you want.</font><br><br><font size="3">You will get rejected millions of times, and even if you become the PUA #1 you will get rejected. </font><br><br><font size="3">You
start internalizing the stuff, you understand why gurus tell you to say
this and that, and if you understand the why then you don't need the
routines, because you know what you have to convey to your target. </font><br><br><font size="3">Slowly
you will change yourself to become complete in the aspects in your
life, because you know that the more you feel comfortable with
yourself, the more you will attract girls, the more you know yourself
and what you want, more women will be around you, just because you are
one of the few persons that know what they are and what they want,
people don't know what they want, they don't know what they like, they
don't know anything. </font><br><br><font size="3">This gentlemen is the process of knowing YOU... how do you expect to know anyone and find your soul mate if you don't know you. </font><br><br><font size="3">And
then you go into this level in which you know what is important. I
started wanting to sleep with all women in the world, to find out that
well that isn't what I really want... I do want women in my life, but
only the specific ones, the ones that give me this connections, this
sparks, this shivers, that make life so great, this girls that make sex
a connection, a mixture of body, mind and soul... </font><br><br><br><br><br></div><br>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[2 vs 1]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4264770</link>
      <description><![CDATA[&gt; Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:13:47 +0000<br>&gt; Subject: 2 vs 1<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; Sometimes you will encounter yourself in situations in which you are in 
a two set alone or one girl, a friend (her or yours)and you. In this common 
scenario you will have to play things carefully. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Here are some 
guidelines: <br>&gt; <br>&gt; In any situation of 2 vs 1 you need to make the 
conversation evolve around you. You need to be involved in the conversation, 
because you need to be alpha and in order to drag the attention you need to be a 
part of the group. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Depending on the situation you need to know 
what is best. Giving your attention to your target or giving it to the obstacle. 
<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Manipulating the obstacle, is an effective technique. You want 
to make him like you, laugh of your jokes and even take your side, once again 
this has a complication because it becomes hard. A great way to make the 
obstacle like you is focusing your attention to him, talking to him. <br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; Jealousy. The obstacle can become a tool if you know how to do it. 
<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Remember that the obstacle become a great factor in a 2 vs 1 
situation, specially when you want to isolate. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Sometimes you 
will find that even your friends become an obstacle in a 2 vs 1 situation and 
being aware of what to and what not to do is important. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; * Find 
an equilibrium between the attention given to your target and the one given to 
your obstacle and change them according to the indicators both of them send you 
<br>&gt; <br>&gt; This becomes complex, because we are talking about full social 
dynamics, but it is better to be well aware of the situations. <br>&gt; <br>&gt;

      <title><![CDATA[THE SIMPLE FORMULA]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4225028</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<span class="postbody">&gt; 
<br>
&gt; One thing that complicates the way new guys learn is the way gurus
explain their method. Take any book about seduction and you will find
that almost 70% is the same concept explained in different words. What
I want to express here is the easy way seduction should be teach.
<br>
&gt; 
<br>&gt; First of all, I always feel that most the books have this lack
of pointing the importance of inner game, confidence and body language.
There is no point in teaching or focusing in the other parts of
seduction if you don't have, understand the fundamentals. Why would
someone teach how to close if you don't even have the confidence to
approach. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; I'm not against the books or the authors, there are some great
books out there and some great gurus, but there are also a lot of fake
artists. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; One important thing you should learn, if you are trying to find a
way to succeed with women, Is simply studying the boring stuff.
Studying inner game is boring, working with yourself and becoming
confident is a long and difficult process. It also goes against our
nature, we love to have things fast, we want to learn the practical
stuff not the part fundamentals behind. Well let me tell you something,
you won't succeed if you don't have confidence. It is the boring and
long way but it is the real basis to success in all aspects of life.
Think about your idol, think about anyone that had succeed in any
field, they are confident. The people that made a change were
confident. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; Routines, techniques and most methods are built to fake this. When
you know what to say next, when you have a method, a process, a
guideline on what to do, you look confident, they are made to making
you feel confident because you will know what to say next. Routines and
methods work this way giving the guy a bunch of lines and stuff to
memorize so they know what to say and do, so they project confidence. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; In the other hand, I figured a way to make the long process easier
without being fake, and simple as it sounds, the real basis is focusing
on having a life in which you feel good, you have passions and you do
the things you like and you love yourself, when you do that, you will
change and changing from the inside will then change your outside. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; This way you won't be faking anything, and I'm not rooting for any
particular method natural, direct or indirect, I only teach what have
worked for me and what I find is a way to achieve real success, not
only with women but also in every aspect of your life. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; Building a life style that you like, becoming a confident person,
more social and a more intelligent person will drag the kind of women
you want. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; I will tell you the true you will DO get a lot of girls and the
reason is simple you behave like a man that knows what he wants. But
there is no quick fix there is a long process.
<br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; In this journey you will see how hard is to find a person that knows what he/she really wants. 
<br>
&gt; 
<br>&gt; You will understand what really matters, you won't have fears,
forget the fear of approaching because you know that you only live once
and that these moment is unique, the chances you lose now are the
chances you lost forever. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; There is no such thing as luck, the only things that really exists
is the fact that luck is just... being prepared when the opportunity
arises. <br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; You will then learn that life is about those little things that make it so big and wonderful.
<br>

<br>

<br>
SUCCESS,
<br>

<br>
for you,
<br>

      <title><![CDATA[Cold Reading]]></title>
      <link>http://www.thepualife.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4220653</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<span class="postbody">There is a part of cold reading that where a lot
of guys get lost. The important thing to notice here is the
effectiveness of using cold reading at the right time of an
interaction.
<br>

<br>Cold reading can help you build rapport easily with any woman but
also you are showing her that you understand them and make her feel you
really know her. <br>

<br>
One of the common mistakes made by guys in the community is using cold
reading to early in an interaction, what happens here is that it looks
like you are trying hard. Let's say you approach your target and in the
first few minutes of an interaction you start using a cold reading line
or technique, she will think, Come on how can he thinks he knows me if
we just talkes for 5 minutes. I'm definitely not like that. <br>

<br>
This will happen even if you said a great line, because everyone hates
being predictable and we refuse to admit that someone can know how we
are in a few minutes, in the other hand using cold reading techniques
at the right time can have a great impact. Here are some great tips to
maximize the effect of cold reading: <br>

<br>
 * Using the "I don't know you really well but ..."
<br>

<br>
* Giving a nice reason to your reading: "I think you are sensitive, I
noticed that every time you talk about your passions you say how that
makes you feel"
<br>

<br>
* Watch and read body language 
<br>

<br>
* Be ambiguous with your comments, be general.
<br>

<br>
* Use one line at a time. Watch the reaction and what she says about the comment.
<br>

<br> * Be intelligent, if she says she isn't impulsive then she thinks
before she acts, therefore she might be logical, if she is logical she
probably is methodical and so on. <br>

<br>
* Read the body language and continue talking. If you say: "It seems
you are in contact with your emotions" and then she gives you a body
language cue showing that she agrees then drop the next line ,this time
I will use a nice line to create rapport "I think that being available
to express an emotion through a song, painting or any kind of art is
really a thing that. Makes a difference" <br>

<br>
 Well that's it for today and if you have any question please send them to <a href="mailto:xf_pua@hotmail.com">xf_pua@hotmail.com</a>

<br>&nbsp;
 <br>

<br>
Success, 
<br>

<br>
 For you,

      <description><![CDATA[A Guide to Choosing Colors for Your Brand<br><br>One of the key elements of building a strong brand is color selection. Every color has a different feel and various associations. By choosing a color or a combination of colors for your brand identity, you will take on those associations. Colors will evoke certain emotions and feelings towards your brand so it is vital to choose a color that will represent your identity effectively.<br><br>[img]http://img.usabilitypost.com/0809/brand_colors.jpg[/img]<br><br><br>[i]Research reveals people make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment, or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on color alone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>[/i]<br><br><br>[b]Where to start?[/b]<br><br>There is a great new tool which can help out with color selection called Cymbolism. It&#146;s an interactive survey of color and word associations. Every page loads a new word, for which you have to select a color you feel best represents it. The results are then aggregated and you can see most popular associations either by color or by word.<br><br>To help you select the right color for your brand I&#146;ve aggregated the results from Cymbolism ([url]www.cymbolism.com[/url]), and also provided examples of logos that use each color:<br>[img]<br>http://img.usabilitypost.com/0809/brand_colors.jpg[/img]<br>These aren&#146;t the top ten words that represent each color, these are just the words that happened to have been entered and processed by Cymbolism and came out on top. Having said this, the sample size is quite large and the selection should give you a decent indication of what a color stands for.<br><br>I&#146;ve also included some multi-colored examples at the end. Some brands choose not to associate themselves with one color. Instead of two or three colors, they choose four or more. This represents variety. This makes sense for brands that are platforms or marketplaces as they host vast amount of different applications or goods.<br><br>There are also two more colors that haven&#146;t made it on the list: black and white. These are arguably not even colors, and they will go well with pretty much everything you choose. White you probably shouldn&#146;t use because you won&#146;t be able to print the logo on white paper unless the white is used on a darker background. Black is a good complementary color to use and a lot of brands choose to have the text set in black because it is neutral and serious.<br>How to select your color<br><br>Look through the table above for a quick overview of what each color stands for. Some questions to ask yourself:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * What color do you like?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * What color represents your brand&#146;s personality?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * What color suits the characteristics of your product/service?<br><br>Color&#146;s aren&#146;t tied to any particular industry &#151; though some may be better suites for some services/products than others. You should aim to pick a color that will represent your brand&#146;s personality best. One that will give your customers the right impression the first time they see it.<br><br>You aren&#146;t limited to one color. Some brands like eBay choose to go with many colors to represent variety &#151; but you can also choose a couple of colors that work well together.<br><br>Consider differences in cultural interpretations of your color. For example in the Western world, white is considered the color of purity and peace, however, in some parts of Asia white is the color of death. Make sure the color you select will give the right impressions in the markets you&#146;re present in.<br><br>At the end of the day, the color you choose should be something you like, not just something you worked out through a formula. The brand colors tell others something about your company, but it is also something you should get behind and enjoy. If you don&#146;t like the colors in your logo, then you won&#146;t very happy seeing it every day on your stationery, your website and your product packaging. Select something that represents your company, but at the same time something that you like as well.<br><br>from: http://www.usabilitypost.com/2008/09/29/a-guide-to-choosing-colors-for-your-brand/]]></description>
