WHAT'S INSIDE: She really likes you, but you've got to break up
with her anyway. Here's some 20/20 foresight into what you canexpect afterward...

IF YOU'RE A GROWN-ASS MAN, THIS IS FOR YOU
As announced yesterday, this month's Masterclass
For Men is called:
For Mature Audiences Only
So who is this for?
Note that I didn’t tag a specific age range on this.
If you’re consistently encountering scenarios and
challenges that look and feel very different from what
frat boys and the cast of MTV’s Real World deal with,
then this is for you.
If you’ve tangibly felt a shift in what’s important to you
about life and the women you share it with, this is for
you.
If you’ve figured out how (and why) grown-ass women
are hotter (and more interesting) than mere girls, then
this is for you.
And most certainly, if you’ve been through the dating,
marriage, divorce cycle before and find yourself back
at square one years later, this is ABSOLUTELY,
POSITIVELY for you:
For Mature Audiences Only
There have been programs out there about how to
date younger women. But the problem is they stop
there.
You and I both know there’s so much more DEPTH
to success with women as a mature man.
My solemn promise is you will emerge from this
month’s Masterclass completely prepared for what
comes next in your social life with women:
All the details are here. Be sure to check the list
of what's covered:
For Mature Audiences Only
See you next Wednesday, August 31st. This will be
the biggest game changer in quite some time for
mature men.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR EX WON'T LET YOU GO
Back when we did a big survey not too long ago, you guys
expressed overwhelmingly that you'd like me to cover the basics
sometimes, and go into some more unique and/or advanced topics
at others.
Well, this is one of those newsletters that may seem at first to be
of the latter variety, but rest assured...what follows really does fall
under the "basic" category.
I'm sure that you've seen books out there on "how to get your ex
back". They're immensely popular because let's face it, sometimes
breakups happen that we didn't wish for.
And when someone we feel like we're passionately in love with dumps
us it hurts...badly.
Now, the plain truth is that as you become more of a chooser than a
chaser you'll have more power over your dating life.
That means YOU are soon (if not already) going to be the one
breaking up with some women here and there, even if you've been
used to getting broken up with in the past.
You see, as a "big four" man you're going to start bringing women
into your life who like you a bunch, but who aren't ultimately going to
meet your standards.
And yes...you're going to have to cut them loose so they can find a
man who appreciates them more than you do.
[Ed. Note: I have a free (seriously) e-book that covers the
logistics of actually breaking up with a woman right here:
http://www.deservewhatyouwant.com/breakups1 ]
So here's a news flash for you: The whole concept of being
straight-up, honkin' desperate to get an ex-back whom you have
strong feelings for is NOT gender-specific.
That's not surprising at all, I'm sure.
Nevertheless, your whole perspective on the scenario changes when
your ex is the one suddenly on an all-out, no-holds-barred mission to
get YOU back into her life.
So here we go. I'm going to show you right here and right now how
to stand your ground and help your ex move on even if she's armed
with every "get your ex back" strategy in the book.
The first step, as the title of this newsletter suggests, is to
expect that she won't simply drop out of your life quickly and
easily, even if that's what you'd like.
She's going to bring the big guns to get what she wants, although
hopefully not literally.
And know this. Those "ex-back" programs out there are popular
for a reason.
They WORK...which means they can work on YOU.
Prepare your mindset so you expect that, have your eyes open to
see her tactics for what they are and you'll already be ahead of the
game.
The next step is to objectively outline in your mind WHY you've
broken up with her, and WHY that was an excellent idea. This will
help you stand your ground and mitigate against any manipulation of
the "grey area" she might try.
My years of experience as a dating coach have confirmed time and
again that nearly all breakups happen for good cause, and that
getting back together with someone who we've broken up with is
almost always a BAD idea.
As such, keep in mind that no matter what she comes up with as
leverage, staying broken up is almost invariably best for both of you.
So then, what are some of these specific "tactics" she might try?
Well, even after a firm conversation with her detailing the hard
truth that the two of you are officially broken up, you can expect
her to make every attempt possible to reassert herself into your
life.
That can be exacerbated by the apparently innocuous suggestion on
your part to "remain friends", and she may push for that regardless
of whether you've expressly offered it or not.
But make no mistake here, if you HAVE given her a "JBF talk" she's
likely to take you up on it, even if you were just trying to be nice.
If she flat-out adores you and you want the romantic relationship
to end, you must cut all communications with her early on, albeit with
kindness. There's no need to insult her and/or otherwise go into gory
negative detail.
Still, you need to keep the moratorium on communication in place no
matter what, at least until she finds another love interest...and
perhaps much longer.
Otherwise, she's going to tug on your heartstrings with every ounce
of strength she has.
She might even tempt you with a sexual tryst, possibly going so far
to offer it "without strings". Don't kid yourself.
She's also likely to suggest that the two of you meet together in
order to exchange each other's belongings that you might have
cluttering your respective places of residence.
Your answer to that should be to either return the items by mail or
leave them by the door, if that's practical. No live, face-to-face
meetings should even be considered.
Now, so far everything I've shared with you might seem like "common
sense". Still, it's alarming how we can allow ourselves to get
sucked back into a relationship we don't want, even when we fully
sense what's happening.
But how about some of the more subtle ways your ex can attempt to
get back into a relationship with you?
I have to say, some of these are SO "under the radar" that SHE
might not even be fully aware of what she's doing.
For example, particularly if a woman has low self-esteem she may
find it necessary to feel there's good reason for the breakup in
her own mind in order to find necessary closure.
Huh?
Let's put it this way. She may not effectively move on until it's
her desire to.
That can only mean one thing. She has to somehow convert her
strong feelings of LOVE into strong feelings of HATE.
That way she'll suddenly want the breakup as much as you did.
And considering most of us are programmed in today's culture to see
dating relationships as opportunities to meet our own selfish needs,
that just might be the only way she knows how to get herself to back
off.
Obviously, then, this will cause her to do what she can to provoke you
to do something evil.
Don't be surprised when she sends you random texts and voicemails
that make your blood boil. No matter what, leave them unanswered.
You should neither allow her to hate you nor have the opportunity
to continue conversation with you in any way, shape or form.
Otherwise, you risk getting back together with her (which is still likely
her preference) OR at worse--you're going to wake up one morning
to a big key scratch down the full length of your new ride, which she
may fully justify in her mind.
Remember always...this weird compulsion to find a reason to hate you
is 100% about a misplaced desire to regain a lost sense of personal
power. She needs to view herself as having dumped YOU...for cause.
It all sounds pretty twisted, I know, but that's how the human mind
can work under dire circumstances.
Ultimately, yet another reason why you should discontinue all
conversation with her is because you lose all of your personal power
even as she regains it, right?
Can you see how that's the case?
Perhaps ironically, if she doesn't care to find reason to hate you, she
just might kick up the charm and kindness to previously unseen levels,
which you also must not fall for.
Otherwise, before you know it she'll have played the "crying card"
in context with all the "nice" things she's suddenly doing for you
and voila, she'll be your girlfriend again.
...That is, if she doesn't become the one who suddenly becomes oddly
distant shortly after drawing you in.
Can you imagine ultimately feeling like you want to chase the woman
you once broke up with first, hoping she'll stay with you because
you fear losing her?
At the time you're breaking up with her I'm sure you won't be able
to imagine that at all. But it'd be a mistake to underestimate the
power of what's in those "win back your ex" programs.
So there you have it.
Having read through what I've shared with you here, it might be
easy to believe that I'm painting a picture of all women as shady
and/or manipulative.
Believe me, that isn't necessarily the case at all. Even women of
very high character will typically do whatever it takes in the name
of getting you back once they're on that mission.
The more smitten they are, the greater lengths they'll go to get
what they want. Never, ever underestimate a woman's capabilities
in that regard.
Remember also that today's society has programmed us to feel as if
we should get what we want whenever we want it, and that's how
most men AND women view relationships with MOTOS (members of
the other sex).
When a modern woman is passionately in love with you and you
cannot reciprocate those feelings, you just can't expect her to wish
you well with someone else.
At least now you know how to handle post-breakup situations and
minimize the aftermath.
