Belief In Reverse".

TEN-PLUS LIVE: THE FASTEST WAY TO REAL PROGRESS
There are still a select few opportunities to get in on a Ten-Plus
Live weekend between now and September.
Ten-Plus Live is a 1-on-1 experience custom tailored to your
specifications. It's exclusive for sure, and not for everyone.
Only men who are 100% dedicated to conquering their sticking
points and getting the women they deserve into their life need
apply.
After a full consultation to determine exactly where you are
and where you'd like to be, you then join us here in San Antonio,
TX for a four-day experience that will fast track your fortunes
with women in a way no group bootcamp can.
What could you gain from such an experience?
Imagine direct input on exactly what's holding you back from the
success with women you know you are capable of.
Master approaching and meeting women, starting conversations
with them and presenting yourself as a masculine man of character.
Other key Ten-Plus Live focus areas are body language, creating
a solid first impression, eliminating "hidden detractors" and even
fine-tuning your personal style.
I highly recommend you contact me personally for more information
on Ten-Plus Live since each experience is customized and therefore
unique:

And now, here's more on how to aim higher when it comes to the
women you attract...

DOES IT SEEM LIKE YOU ONLY ATTRACT WOMEN YOU'RE NOT
ATTRACTED TO?
Back in seventh grade, to say I had virtually zero skill with MOTOS
(members of the other sex) would have been an understatement.
Even though I was from a very middle-class family, a series of
events had landed me an academic scholarship at one of the most
exclusive private schools for rich kids in the Baltimore metro area.
From the very first day, I knew I didn't fit in there.
Being the "new kid", none of my neighborhood friends were there.
I had to start from zero, which is a challenge for any seventh
grader changing schools.
But in this case, I also could tell instantly that I didn't have
the right clothes. I didn't have the right "pedigree". I was clearly
low-man on the social totem pole in just about every way.
It didn't take long for my already suspect pre-pubescent self-image
to take a nosedive.
But meanwhile, something really odd was happening.
Even as I was feeling completely alienated, I started getting
attention from some very, very cute girls.
Maybe it was simply because I was new. Maybe it was because I
was different. Who knows? But they were talking to me...and being
friendly.
Now, I realize these are seventh graders we're talking about, but
when you're that age the most heavenly MOTOS on Earth typically
happen to be seventh graders like yourself.
So when the attention started to come from girls who were not only
cute but smart, socially popular and dressed in the most expensive
clothes possible, my brain started to play tricks on me.
But what really fried my circuits was that their last names tended
to be the same as people like my U.S. Congressman, the weatherman
on Channel 13 and last year's Cy Young Award winner from the
Baltimore Orioles.
You had to be kidding me. Why would these girls even TALK to me?
It was the "Too Good To Be True Factor" in its purest form.
So, of course, I did what many of us as guys--young OR old--would
do: I assumed they weren't serious. They must be making fun of me.
And that's what I accused them of. As some bizarre sort of
protection mechanism, I at best ignored them, sometimes rejected
them, and in particularly grim moments called them out on their
cruel "trickery".
Before you know it, it all became a self-fulfilling prophecy. They
really DID start to dislike me. They began to make fun of me--for
real.
And decades later, I now know why. I had led.
During that fateful seventh grade year, one of the coolest teachers
we had was Mr. Green. As a recent college grad and an All-American
lacrosse player, he had been hired to be a coach but doubled as an
English teacher.
Looking back, I'm sure he had pretty solid skills with women. All
the girls loved him, and there were even rumors about him and a
certain attractive female Math teacher.
At the end of the year, when yearbooks came out, he wrote something
particularly interesting in mine. It read as follows:
"Relax and have fun. The girls love you. -Chris Green"
The simple fact that any teacher would sign a seventh grade kid's
yearbook with his first name was cool enough. But the message
itself amazed me.
Unfortunately, it would take several more years for me to realize
that perhaps what he was saying was true.
And even then, it would take many more years to really "get it".
So many of us as guys have no problem talking to women we are
marginally attracted to, yet we completely blow it with women we
can't quite yet see as "attainable".
Usually, "unattainable" is synonymous with "ones we really like".
Isn't that the truth? Man...so much of all this is in our own heads.
This is often because we tend to suffer from what I call a "Limiting
Belief In Reverse" (LBIR).
You know what a "limiting belief" is by now. In your mind you're
too poor, too old, or too something else to get the women you
want.
And you also know by now that I believe it's unreasonable to
assume all women think like you do about your "limiting beliefs".
Well, here's how a LBIR works.
Basically, when you see a woman you really like, you assume she
has no faults, and that she has unlimited ability to attract any guy
she wants and get whatever she wants from them.
In other words, even as you believe you are inherently unworthy,
you ascribe ultimate, perfected worth to her.
Yes, it's sort of like an all-conquering halo effect on steroids, but it's
also indeed the opposite of a "limiting belief".
As some sort of way to underscore your own limitations, you ascribe
goddess-like perfection to her in order to further insulate yourself
from self-blame when you don't approach her, or when you screw
up the first date.
But see, just like a "limiting belief" robs YOU of potential success,
the LBIR has a similar--but reversed--effect.
The LBIR robs HER of an equal opportunity to find out what kind of
high-level "big four" guy YOU are.
By assuming she's "unattainable", you've pre-DISqualified her in a
sense.
Now, obviously the lack of self-confidence in combination with putting
her on a pedestal is likely to work against you in these situations.
That's the first reason why so many of us can't seem to attract the
women really want.
But guess what? There's an even more devastating factor that
derails us: our own arrogance.
That's right...I said it. When you pre-judge women as "unattainable"
simply because they are your exact type, you've made an unfair
assessment that ignores HER potential input on the matter.
You've made a decision on her behalf that she won't like you. It's
kind of like saying, "My way AND the highway", if you think about it.
In the real world, I've noticed that while it's true none of us can be all
things to all MOTOS, the actual pattern in which women DO respond
favorably to a particular guy typically has little to do with the type of
women that guy would guess he'd "look good with", be more attracted
to, etc.
In fact, and perhaps shockingly, some of the women who aren't our
type at all tend to like us. Others, not so much.
And here it is: While not every woman who is your vision of female
perfection will like you, it's equally true that some will. A lot. Perhaps
even as much as you like them.
But just like you've got to do away with "limiting beliefs", you've got to
do away with LBIRs also. And the latter is the step I think most of us
us overlook.
Why?
Because we are always taught to focus on ourselves. OUR inner
game. OUR outer game.
And when we don't get out of our own heads, we often fail to see
the perspective of the exact women we'd like to attract.
Even when your skills with women are solid, you've got to be able
to see the proverbial "forest for the trees". You can't make their
decisions for them when it comes to attraction...even though that
doesn't stop us from trying, apparently.
So in two simple words, stop it. Being a "big four" man, give
perfectly reasonable women, albeit amazing ones, the simple chance
to make their own decisions about you.
Will you get every one of them? No.
Will you get a lot more of them than when you pre-DISqualify all of
them? Most definitely.
