5 WAYS TO HAVE BETTER WEEKENDS
Alright, gentlemen. We're on Day Two of a nice three-day weekend
here in the U.S...with Friday night and Saturday night in the
rear-view mirror.
So how's it going so far?
Are you dragging yourself out of the sack pretty late this fine
Sunday morning having given it your all last night?
Having taken your dog to PetSmart yesterday (Saturday) morning, did
you meet some sweet, giggly little redhead who's got more energy
than a whole squad of cheerleaders?
And after deciding to hang out the rest of the day together in the
park with your pups, did she pretty much "cash in your dummy" to
the point where you're exhausted?
Or what's that you say? You spent all day yesterday playing "co-ed
touch football" followed by a major pub crawl with a decidedly NON
co-ed "team" of eleven new female friends you made?
All of that sounds pretty nice, doesn't it?
And when days like that happen, we tend to remember them with a
smile for a LONG time.
Maybe even FOREVER.
Why? Well, you and I BOTH know the answer to that.
The truth is that days like that are RARE for most people.
The VAST MAJORITY of our weekends tend to be spent recuperating
from the crazy stress we put ourselves through on the job all week
long.
And that's to be expected to some degree. If you've got to take it
easy on a Friday night and sleep in on Saturday morning because you
worked OT five days in a row, so be it.
But whatever you do, don't let yourself fall into the habit of
wasting your precious weekends doing ABSOLUTELY nothing except
laundry (and even that's a "maybe").
Here are five DEAD SIMPLE ways you can start having better weekends
RIGHT NOW (as in TODAY...on Day Two of a three-day weekend):
1) Stop Spectating, Start Living
Hey, I get it. This is the first real weekend of college football.
TCU vs. Baylor was a PHENOMENAL game on Friday night, and Oregon
vs. LSU was "must see TV" last night.
But if you sat home and watched 'em both, chances are you met ZERO
WOMEN in the process...unless the "pizza delivery boy" wasn't a"boy".
Fat chance...literally.
I'm probably the biggest sports fan I know, but the bottom line is
this: Of the four teams that played in the "big games" I just
mentioned, I honestly don't really CARE who won or lost.
Still I was compelled to watch anyway, and maybe you were too.
What's up with that?
Here's an exercise. The next time there's a truly HUGE game on,
make it a point to MISS IT.
I bet you life will not only go on, it'll go BETTER.
Back in January my favorite NFL team happened to advance VERY deep
into the playoffs.
It just so happened my schedule made it impossible to watch the
game.
In fact, I wasn't even in the United States...and where I was nobody
cared an iota about "American Football".
The weird part was that I was so occupied doing other amazing
things that day that I almost FORGOT to check the score on the
Internet when I finally returned to the hotel.
Go figure.
Am I saying you've got to give up watching sports entirely? Not at
all. I'm suggesting you try something other than watching sports
once in a while.
And for what it's worth, even if you watch big games at sports
bars, you're not exactly going where the "ratio" is in your favor.
2) Make Plans, But Leave Room For Spontaneity
Fridays have a wicked way of sneaking up on us, don't they?
We stay so busy all week long that by the time the weekend actually
gets here we've planned NOTHING.
And what do we do at that point?
Well, since planning stuff at the last minute would likely involve
more stress, we just passively lie around and do little, if
anything.
Again...that's not exactly the way to meet women and/or enjoy their
company.
Make it a habit to start thinking about plans for the coming
weekend as soon as MONDAY.
Be sure to get a solid idea ahead of time of WHERE you're going to
be, WHAT you're going to do and WHO with...but definitely leave some
flexibility in the plan for that redhead you met at PetSmart.
3) Don't Depend On Boring Friends
Oh man, this one could be the major takeaway from this newsletter
for many.
How often do we automatically assume that our friends will come up
with something cool to do this weekend, only to find that everyone
is "sitting home this time" and/or playing Dungeons and Dragons
again?
The best decision you might ever make is to move from being a
passive member of your social circle to being the one who boldly
makes plans and invites others to join you.
Otherwise, you'll continue to find that if YOU don't do that nobody
else is likely to either.
4) Break Free Of Old Patterns By Focusing On Your Dreams
Like I alluded to before, it's easy to think that weekends are all
about COMFORT after working all week. I get it.
But a by-product of "taking it easy" is getting stuck in a
convenient "rut" of running the same routine every single, blasted
weekend.
To say that likely allows next to ZERO chance of meeting new women
is an understatement.
Instead, remember the old saying: "Work hard, play hard."
Put some effort into making your weekends as great as the work you
do all week long and watch how fulfilling life becomes.
Here's something to think about.
When guys begin a Ten-Plus coaching program with me, one of the
first things I do is ask them to complete their "bucket list"...not
stopping until they have at least 25 entries.
Many guys draw a blank after as few as seven or eight.
And the overwhelming majority of guys write down a list composed
mostly of things they could have or do TODAY with relatively little
money and/or effort...if they just made the move.
Weekends are FREE TIME for a reason. You truly are free.
5) Get Out Of The House
I can assure you of very few things in life, but this is one of
them: If you never leave the "cave", you'll not meet many women.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "pizza boy" probably won't
REALLY turn out to be a hottie.
And even if she IS, she's got another pie to deliver in thirty
minutes or less...and it's NOT to you.
As simple as it sounds, make it a point to LEAVE your home at least
once during the day and for at least one evening over the course of
a weekend.
I don't care if you simply run errands during the day. You'll be
sure to go plenty of places where there will be women to talk to.
At night? Even if you're not a "clubber" you can be social.
Or for Pete's sake go shopping at the 24-hour supermarket if all
else fails.
ANYTHING...just get out of the friggin' house. That's a solid start.
Obviously, ANY weekend is better if you've met at least one great
woman over the course of it.
If you meet more, that's even better.
So HOW do you actually go about FINDING women, let alone talking to
them and creating attraction...especially if you're not so into
becoming a "pickup artist"?
Well, I've got great news for you.
Literally every answer to every single question you've ever had
about how to meet women, start conversations with them and make
plans to see them again is found in The Man's Approach:
If you're fed up with enduring one boring weekend after another,

not more).
The Man's Approach will give you what it takes RIGHT NOW to make
that a reality in your life from this day forward...no more "waiting
around":
Now, in honor of this three-day weekend, I've got a special
surprise for you.

hand over full access to The Leading Man relationship management
system to you for f-r-e-e.
There's no coupon code to remember. Just order The Man's Approach

That way, you'll not only be all set to MEET women on weekends from
now on, you'll ALSO have everything you need to make sure you can
see them NEXT weekend (and the weekend after that) as well...for as
long as you so choose.
Life doesn't get any better that that.
Put the "kibosh" on boring weekends from now on. Get the killer
plan of action you need with The Man's Approach and The Leading Man:
This 2-for-1 ends at the same time this weekend does: Monday night
