[X&Y] Do You Have To Be "Mr. Perfect"?

IN THIS EDITION: Think you've got to get your act together
PERFECTLY in order to get a woman to stick around? Think again...

"ULTIMATE ATTRACTION TRANSFORMATION"...CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT.
OK, I'll admit it. I really love it when someone comes up with a
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT way to look at getting better with women.
Leave it to my friends Slade Shaw and Mirabelle "The Dude
Whisperer" Summers (from a few podcasts ago) to do exactly that:

By clicking that link above you'll be able to get your hands on a
f-r-e-e special report called "The Secret Truth About Women", which
you won't want to miss.
PLUS...you'll be able to feast your eyes on their TOTALLY DIFFERENT
concept on how to give you MEGA results in bite-sized chunks.
NO "drinking from the firehose" and NO breaking the bank to get the
job done. Just Ultimate Attraction Transformation in its purest
form.
If that sounds more refreshing than that sip from the friggin'
firehose to you, then here's the link again:

I have to tell you, I like what 000Relationships is doing with this
SO MUCH that I was majorly psyched when they asked me to contribute
directly to making it great.
I think you'll find the finished product nothing short of POWERFUL
(and affordable) when it's unleashed to the world in a couple weeks.
BTW, a memo to Slade and Mirabelle: That's STILL an AWFUL lot of
little red and white hearts for a guy's gig.
I guess we just gotta chalk it up to things being a little different
down under in New Zealand. (OK...a LOT different.)
And now, let me give you ONE LESS thing to keep you up at night
when it comes to understanding women...

THE "85/15 RULE"
The other day I was on the phone with a guy who is going through
the Ten-Plus Program.
For those of you who may not be familiar with Ten-Plus, it's a
guided 1-on-1 program that's custom designed to take you from where
you are RIGHT NOW to where you WANT TO BE with women...all in about
90 days and over the course of ten carefully planned meetings
(either via phone or face-to-face).
Well, every Ten-Plus experience is different because every one of
US is different.
As fortune would have it, on this day we were talking about how to
use one's VOICE to project confidence and masculinity--two
cornerstones of the "Big Four", of course.
In the case of my friend on the other end of the phone (and on the
other side of the world), he had gone for literally DECADES without
realizing how his manner of speaking had been CRATERING his chances
with women.
Being all about promoting his future success, I shared with him
some objective ways he could effectively alter his speech patterns
to become infinitely more attractive while still being his
authentic, true self.
Believe me, having been there before, I was all about being the
voice of encouragement.
In my heart and mind, I knew my friend would see a DRAMATIC
difference in how his interactions with women went...if only he'd
take the next few weeks to intentionalize just a few new habits.
But on the other end of the phone, all I heard at first was
DISCOURAGEMENT.
"Aw man...I realize now that I've been doing what we're talking about
for over THIRTY YEARS. How can I expect to COMPLETELY ERADICATE
these bad habits? That sounds all but IMPOSSIBLE."
That's when I told him about how the "85/15 Rule" works when it
comes to the finer points of attraction.
Basically, the "85/15 Rule" says that if you can get the basics of
masculinity and confidence down just 85% of the time, you'll have
done what it takes to convince a woman you're the REAL DEAL.
That's right. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
Remember, women are HUMAN BEINGS just like you. Unless they're a
rare variety of psycho, I promise they aren't sitting around
waiting for you to misstep in the slightest so they can cut you off.
Yeah, yeah. I don't care what the PUA crowd says. Even the
hottest women on earth are NOT going to demand PERFECTION from you.
In fact, are you sitting down for this?
If you ARE "Mr. Perfect", you may as well be "Mr. Nice Guy" while
you're at it.
Why?
Simple...you're going to come off as "Mr. Impossible" in the end if
you're EITHER "Mr. Perfect" or "Mr. Nice Guy".
Here it is: She's flat-out going to think you're faking it. She's
going to think you have an "agenda".
And to make matters worse, coming off like you want to be "Mr.
Perfect" has an even WORSE angle: She's going to feel she CAN'T
LIVE UP to your "flawless execution".
Look, we already know that many, many women--especially the
particularly attractive ones--are VERY self-conscious. They don't
want to "mess up" any more than you do on a date.
And how about this? Remember the THIRD part of the "Big Four"?
You know, INSPIRING CONFIDENCE.
If you seem like you can do NO WRONG, all you're doing is making her
feel MORE self-conscious and MORE like she needs to walk on eggshells
so as not to humiliate herself somehow.
Think I'm kidding? Here's a gut check for you: Have you ever gone
on a PERFECT DATE, only to have the woman RUN AWAY and never be
heard from again afterward?
And are you STILL trying to piece together what could possibly have
gone awry?
I'm telling you...your act could have been TOO together. A little
ketchup on the cuff or trip over the shoelaces could have actually
put her at ease.
And yes...maybe ONE SMALL hint at genuine interest a bit too early or
ONE SLIGHT OVERREACTION to something she said may have actually
been a GOOD THING for you to have mixed in there.
Again, not enough to paint you as a needy, high-strung Chihuahua or
a "desperado"...but JUST ENOUGH to make her bite her lower lip in the
slightest, sexiest way and think, "You know what, I think he might
like me after all."
By now you may be thinking I've been spending too much time tuning
2-stroke engines with the garage door closed again.
But if you don't believe me, believe Emily. I can still remember
the first time I lost my cool about something in her presence...all
of about three weeks after we started dating.
She THANKED me afterward. To my utter shock and awe, she told me
she felt MORE AT EASE knowing I messed stuff up sometimes.
No kidding, for a few awkward minutes there before she said
anything, I thought she was about to walk out of my life forever.
So no, women don't demand or even WANT "perfection".
What they want is a MAN who is a masculine and confident at his
core...but still a HUMAN BEING who they can relate to.
That's where the "85/15" part comes in.
Now to be perfectly clear, we're talking about MASCULINITY and
CONFIDENCE here.
You can't expect to make her feel unsafe in your presence 15% of
the time or commit blatant breaches of character 15% of the time.
It might be "one strike and your out" on the bigger stuff, as well
it should be.
But if in your normal, day-to-day interactions with her you can
portray solid masculine confidence at least about 85% of the time,
then the small number of mistakes won't do you in.
She'll consider the REAL you to be the confident, masculine version
she's USED to having in her life.
And think about it, if she runs her own feminine version of 85/15
around you, won't YOU feel tons more at ease interacting with her?
Thought so.
But the problem is that in today's feminized culture many, many
guys only feel it's required to MAN UP about 15% of the time...if
that.
The rest of the time? It's "Neuter City", baby.
There's' GOOD NEWS though.
By now I've spent a LOT of time coaching a LOT of guys, and here's
something I've found to be almost universally true: If a man is
willing to apply himself to breaking an old habit in favor of a
newer, better one he REALLY CAN go from "15/85" to "85/15" very
quickly.
Sometimes it's literally a matter of a FEW DAYS.
But most of us are too complacent to do anything about what's
holding us back.
OR...we NEVER FIND OUT WHAT IT IS that's been holding us back.
How's THAT for a scary thought?
Seriously. Our FRIENDS aren't going to tell us. And usually the
WOMEN we go out with themselves will NEVER SAY ANYTHING...they just
won't answer the phone the next time you call.
And THAT is exactly why the Ten-Plus program is so powerful.
Because Ten-Plus is a custom-crafted experience, you can expect
personalized attention to taking you from GOOD to GREAT with
women...whatever that means.
Right now I have EXACTLY THREE Ten-Plus program openings for the
summer.
In addition, we are booking a select few Ten-Plus Live experiences
here in San Antonio for guys who want to put Emily and me to work
for them. Ten-Plus Live is an intensive, life-changing 36-hour
program that consistently gets SIGNIFICANT, MEASURABLE RESULTS in
record time.
By now you know that I've gone through my fair share of tough times
in the past and can relate to just about any challenge. What's
very real to you is likely very real to me too.
But by now you also know that I have been passionate about finding
SOLUTIONS to the quandaries of understanding and relating to women
for over seven years now.
My track record stands alone as a testament to what's possible.
I'm no "natural born lady killer", and you most certainly don't
have to be either.
But one thing's for sure. There are high quality women out there
waiting for YOU to get your act together. (Well...at least 85%
together, right?)

you. Simply drop me a note:

P.P.S. I'm strongly considering a comeback for the "Nice Guys Need
