[X&Y] 3 BIG Thanksgiving Announcements (And A Cool Thing To Say When Meeting A Woman)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
First and foremost, I hope all of y'all here in the United States
are having a great Thanksgiving so far.
Over the past several years, it's become abundantly clear to me
that contentment is the key to happiness. And a major key to
feeling content is gratitude.
So most definitely, I want you to know that I appreciate YOU.
Thank you for reading these newsletters, listening to the podcasts
and enjoying all the programs.
Nine days from now will mark the 10th anniversary of X & Y
Communications, and I've loved getting to know so many of you
personally over the years.
Believe me, when your success stories hit my inbox it's more than
enough motivation to keep the good stuff coming the best I know
how.
So you've got my solemn word that I'll continue to do so.
3 BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS
In fact, there are three BIG announcements to that effect I can make
today:
1) There's a brand new main website coming, it's world-class
badass, it'll make your life a whole lot easier, and it's almost done.
2) The Chick Whisperer Podcast is finally going to have a real
web page with show notes, pictures of co-hosts, instant downloads
and your comments (this is only eight years overdue, right?)
And definitely the biggest news of all...
3) The X & Y Communications team is expanding. This is a HUGE
leap, as THREE guys who are well-known on a global scale
in the dating/relationship space are coming on board. Once
you find out who they are, you'll stand up and cheer.
More on all of that as it gets rolled out in the very near future.
There are several new projects coming your way on top of all else,
including by far the best book I've ever written and an all-new elite
program that will solve the #1 sticking point of men all over the world.
And there's yet one more announcement coming within a month or
two that will be a complete game-changer...but we'll save that one
for later.
Today is all about gratitude, hanging out with your favorite people,
inhaling pumpkin pie and watching football.
What I want to share with you before I partake of all of that myself,
however, is a powerful AND actionable way to start a conversation
with a woman that I sort of stumbled upon a few Thanksgivings ago.
Enjoy...
A COOL THING TO SAY WHEN MEETING A WOMAN
I figured it was time for a haircut, so I went to the same chick who
cuts my hair as usual.
It was late afternoon on the day before a major holiday, and she
had been busy all day.
The simple truth that she was pretty much spent and ready to go
home was written all over her face.
When my turn came, I'm not really sure what prompted me to greet
her in a different way than I usually would, but I said, "So...what do
you know that's good?"
She responded with a rather forlorn, "Good? I'm going to have to
think on that one."
Without really thinking about it I said, "Well, I'm not interested
in hearing anything bad, so out with it."
Gazing upward in a quick moment of thought, she looked back at me
and shrugged. "Tomorrow's Thanksgiving, huh?"
"That's GOOD" , I said, probably with a slightly victorious grin on
my face.
The corner of her mouth turned up ever so slightly. She laughed
out loud, in a way that was eerily reminiscent of how women often
laugh right after they've finished crying.
Success. I had "brought out the playful" in her.
Now remember, I can't take a whole lot of credit for this whole
exchange. It just sort of...happened.
But looking back on it, the real value of opening a conversation
with a woman in the manner I just described is that it pretty much
eliminates any reasonable possibility of getting a negative
response in return, doesn't it?
Think of it. If you ask ANY red-blooded human being (female or
otherwise) "what they know that's good" and get a surly, negative
or even insulting answer, what can you immediately conclude?
If you said, "that it's THEM and not ME...for sure" give yourself a
gold star.
Check it out...just about anyone can find himself or herself in "a
mood" after a long, frustrating day. If you say any old generic
thing to someone in that state, it theoretically might not end well.
But hey...when you matter-of-factly get them on the track of thinking
of what's GOOD, most decent people WILL check themselves before
ripping you a new one verbally.
Anyone but a raging psychopath would feel horrible if they didn't.
By now you know that I'm not much into memorizing "openers", at
least in the PUA sense. But sure, go ahead and try out the strategy
I just suggested for yourself and let me know how it goes.
It's simple enough, and when you get right down to it it's not
really about the order of the words or even the "line" itself at
all. It's about the vibe.
Mean and negative people suck, and most people DON'T want to be
downers, whether they think they can help it in the moment or not.
I think the real beauty of asking, "What do you know that's good?"
is that it leads in a positive direction, yet in a way that
subcommunicates masculine confidence and character rather than
some sort of Pollyannaish "Mr. Nice Guy" neediness.
What we're talking about here is lightening a woman up AND igniting
her femininity, all in one easy step.
And what do you know? That's good.
Be Good

P.S. Yes, I'll have a honkin' ridiculous Black Friday special for
you this year...stay tuned.
