[X&Y] 5 Keys To Choosing The Right Words When Talking To Women
Published: Wed, 07/08/15

WHAT'S INSIDE: Hey, you may be a true "big four" man through and
through. But if you reach for the WRONG words when interactingwith women you're in deep trouble. Here's how to make sure you
never run into problems...
=====
POWER UP YOUR SOCIAL LIFE
A lot of you guys already know who Carlos Xuma is. He and I think
alike on quite a bit when it comes to how to attract women.
Well, this morning I was going through his catalog looking for a
link and I was reminded of this:
I had forgotten how good that program is.
Some of you have told me that you're really interested in mastering
social interactions in general--be they with women OR men.
Let's just say Carlos' Power Social Skills program should pretty
much turn you into a freaking Jedi when it comes to that.
So I wanted to be sure to share this with you while it was on my
mind so you can take a quick look:
Carlos poured his heart and soul into Power Social Skills, for
sure.
He's passionate about helping you succeed not only with women but
in GENERAL...a man after my own heart.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WORDS WHEN INTERACTING WITH WOMEN
Are your chances with women being RUINED by the VERY WORDS you use
during your interactions with them? I found the following from the "vault" and
wanted to share it with you again.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown, using e-mail as a convenient
example, of how insecurities can infiltrate your conversations only
to DERAIL attraction before it even happens.
===== E-MAIL FROM A READER =====
Hey Scot,
I'll send you the last email I sent to this girl I met online. Not
sure, what to make of it. I've invited her to meet several times
now, and she keeps postponing. She says she doesn't want to rush
into anything because she has been "burned before through Match".
Some things I noticed on my own, is that I repeated myself on the
"give destiny a little shove". I wrote the email in a hurry and
that is what happened.
I really appreciate this,
Bart (Pharr, TX)

people left on AOL?]
So, guess what, I just finished purchasing 4 out of the last 5
tickets available to the "Thingy". Not sure if we are meant to
meet or not, you may need to give destiny a little shove.
There is one final ticket left for the event. I want to reiterate
that I was hoping we could meet prior to this, but now that this
might be the first time we meet, I think about it and it should
actually be rather fun.
I am not sure if you will be able to read all of the info so I will
summarize it for you:
Its a wine taster for the 4th annual [UNNAMED] Festival.
Its at the {ANONYMOUS] Cafe in Pharr from 6-9 on Friday, and my
friends from [INSERT BAND NAME HERE] will be performing.
I encourage you to call the [ANONYMOUS] Cafe (Please don't ask for
tickets to the "Thingy"), if anything so you can verify that I am
not lying and there truly is one final ticket left, their number is
[555-1212].
By the way I wouldn't mind buying it for you (My house is walking
distance from them), if you decide on making it and the ticket is
still available.
I was thinking about it and there might be a good chance of
actually getting to know each other, if I am not mistaken they are
also going to have an outside market that day. I want ask what
class you are taking in person (I'm going to wait for the answer).
Hope you can make it, sum up the courage and give destiny a little
shove.

===== MY RESPONSE =====
OK, Bart:
First off, fair warning--there's a lot of "tough love" in what
follows. But I really think this is an excellent chance for you to
get a good solid opportunity to see exactly how neediness and
self-consciousness tend to operate in a real-world setting.
Herein, I'm able to actually deconstruct on a step-by-step basis
EXACTLY how such an e-mail portends inner game issues, and WHY it
does.
My sincere trust is that this level of objectivity will contribute
to a major breakthrough for you, because I'd love nothing more than
to see you experience the wild dating success I know you have
coming to you.
So let's dive right in.
She's putting off meeting you because the ATTRACTION HAS NOT BEEN
CREATED YET.
There's NO WAY a woman gets online and starts telling guys that she
doesn't want to rush things because she's been burned before on the
site. That excuse is as easy as falling out of bed.
And if she IS there NOT to meet someone, then you want no part of
it anyway. What IS she doing there? Simply having to ask the
question portends deeper issues on her side for sure.
So what happened here?
For starters, you have PUSHED MAJORLY in this e-mail, and that
comes off as a bit too desperate. THAT'S exactly what causes
women to "put the brakes on" in the form of statement about "not
rushing into things", etc.
The offer to buy her ticket for her "IF she decides on making it"
inherently indicates that your full expectation is that you have to
cajole people into hanging out with you, while also implying that
you actually expect disappointment.
You mention "giving destiny a shove" twice, which I understand was
an editorial oversight as you mentioned.
But that is a desperate, needy request even if uttered once. The
insecurity about even knowing if you two are meant to meet is
clearly admitted in the first line where the phrase appears.
When the theme of "giving destiny a shove" is repeated in the final
line, there's even a somewhat insulting charge that she lacks
courage herself.
Projecting weakness onto someone else, though subtle in this case,
is amplified by the frequent appearance of inner-game issues of
your own.
This may seem an esoteric concept at face value, but think through
the steps involved as if penned in an email to you and you'll
actually be able to feel the emotion I'm describing.
It's almost as if hoping that she might possibly have the same
issues you do lest you be overshadowed by HER personal strength.
And indeed, this message is replete with earmarks of insecurity
throughout.
ALL 13 of the following were lifted from this one example e-mail
to her from you:
"Not sure if"
"I want to reiterate"
"I was hoping"
"we could"
"this might be"
"it should actually be rather fun"
"I am not sure if"
"if anything so you can verify that I am not lying"
"I wouldn't mind buying it for you"
"if you decide on making it"
"there might be a good chance of actually getting to know each
other"
"if I am not mistaken"
"Hope you can make it"
There are even still a few other phrases in there that could be
argued as more subtle indicators. But you get the point.
Although all of those phrases should disappear from future mailings
(and from your interactions with women in general), the real
clincher was encouraging her to keep tabs on you to make sure you
weren't lying.
Why invite that level of disrespect if your own inner game is in
order?
I'm not sure where use of the word "Thingy" came from, but even if
SHE came up with this impromptu moniker for your proposed get
together, it's not a very masculine thing(y) to write into an
e-mail to a woman.
It would take a unique masculine personality to pull off using such
words in e-mails, and even if you are that guy she doesn't know you
well enough to have figured that out yet.
If she IS calling your potential meeting a "Thingy" then it already
shows that she's so mildly (if at all) interested she has made no
effort to even remember what exactly you had planned.
So how can you improve in the future?
Pragmatically speaking, here are several steps you can take RIGHT
NOW to project more confidence and leadership into your e-mails to
women.
By the way, this all applies equally to live conversations,
especially when making the initial approach:
1) Eliminate all "doubt". Replace it with assumptions of
acceptance until proven otherwise.
Examples could include, "I trust" in lieu of "I hope" (that's a
REAL GOOD one), "This is a great opportunity" instead of "There
might be a good chance", "I believe I'm correct in saying" instead
of "If I am not mistaken" (note the clear affirmative there as
opposed to hoping to avoid the negative), "Looking forward to
meeting you there" as opposed to "Hope you can make it".
The examples I give sound a bit too formal in context, but you can
convey the same attitude in a more casual tone. Whatever's
congruent with your true personality.
However worded, be sure of the quality of your plans, and be
confident about the outcome of your live introduction to each
other.
2) Remember that by "assumptions of acceptance until proven
otherwise" I'm essentially describing a BALANCE between spineless
wishy-washiness and a "hard sell tactic".
If you tell her you need to know "ASAP" and talk about "giving
destiny a shove" at all, it's as if your impatience is driven by
the distinct possibility in your estimation that she'll change her
mind if left to think about it all long enough.
In those cases the balance has swung the other way toward the
"hard sell".
Both extremes signal lack of confidence, but the balance is JUST
RIGHT.
3) No "reiteration".
I realize this was mistaken in the case of the 'giving destiny
a shove line', but you've got to ride herd on that.
Ironically, you've just uncovered yet another great reason (among
many) to keep e-mails to women you've never met brief.
Talking in circles telegraphs that you are used to being ignored,
and therefore have fallen into the habit of feeling the need to
repeat things several times just to get your message across.
Leaders are used to having people hang on every word, and therefore
hardly ever have to make a point twice, unless for dramatic or
didactic emphasis, usually in the context of a formal setting.
By the way, this goes for announcing that you're repeating yourself
(e.g. "I want to reiterate", "Once again, I want to tell you", "In
case you forgot", etc.) or for when you simply say something more
than once "give destiny a shove".
4) Never assume someone is thinking negative thoughts about you.
Such is the habit of those who think negatively about themselves.
If you make a statement, assume it will be accepted as factual
based on your demonstrated level of character.
If you tell someone you'll do something, assume they believe it
shall be done.
Do you think perhaps it's too soon for you to have effectively
demonstrated your level of character to her?
What I've just suggested is EXACTLY how you build that track record
from minute one. If you are used to being taken at your word, it
will come through in your attitude. This is like magic, but a very
real phenomenon. It's all part of INSPIRING CONFIDENCE.
5) Finally, don't be afraid to take the entire interaction LESS
SERIOUSLY.
Have some fun, inject some humor.
If she calls the event a "Thingy" you may poke some fun by over
dramatizing the event as an intense, cataclysmic all-important
World Summit Of International Wine Tasting just to highlight the
irony of it all.
Remember, all of what I've shared with you is beside the point
if you don't actually HAVE the confident mindset you need.
You can't "fake it 'til you make it". That just doesn't work.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
