WHAT'S INSIDE: Are you coming off as a genuine protector in
women's eyes? Here are some surprising ways to know for sure.

TALK TO THE HOTTEST WOMEN...WHILE OTHER GUYS WATCH IN AWE
She's about as sexy as possible. Her bright eyes and sunny
personality practically BEG you to strike up a conversation with
her.
Yet you don't. Something holds you back like a force shield.
And worse, you spend the rest of the day KICKING YOURSELF for
missing out on such a golden opportunity to meet a terrific girl.
But you get this nagging feeling that you just wouldn't have known
what to say to her anyway...
Here's a quick and devastatingly effective way to make sure none of
that EVER happens again. Go ahead...get rid of that problem forever:
How much would it mean to you to NEVER have to worry about "dead
air" or "awkward silences" ever again?
And what if you had the confidence to boldly talk to ANY and EVERY
woman without ever "drawing a blank"?
Maybe the woman you have your eye on is outgoing and talkative.
Perhaps she's shy and quiet.
She might even turn out to be be amazingly quick with a laser-sharp
wit.
It doesn't matter WHAT she's like. You can automatically know
EXACTLY what to say to her, every single time. Check it out:
10 SIMPLE TESTS OF WHETHER YOU'RE A WIMP OR NOT
By now you know all too well that being a "wuss" is not attractive
to women at all.
The very essence of what ignites femininity is directly tied to
facing fear with courage, coming up with a plan when crisis hits
and being a protector when danger and uncertainty loom.
And, well...you just can't be ANY of those things if you're a
"scaredy-cat", now can you?
Most of us will never be faced with storming Bin Laden's camp in
Pakistan, landing an airliner in the Hudson River or fending off a
pack of wild tigers in the Sri Lankan jungle.
That's all well and good, but you WILL need to be able to get
through normal, everyday life in post-modern culture.
For better or worse, life in that context really does present
nearly constant challenges to "man up"...even if they're small or
even subtle ones.
Nevertheless, you can bet your bottom dollar that women are
watching.
In this two part series on the subject, I'm going to present to you
ten very basic, common ways to tell with almost 100% certainty what
kind of man you are.
Do you possess even a modicum of the masculine bravery that
indicates to a woman that you're a leader, provider and a protector?
Or are you just a frightened shell of a man...a passive follower who
runs from every potential challenge?
Here are the first five "simple tests". Perhaps the FIRST should
be based on whether you have the guts to even read on vs. folding
up and hitting "delete" without even facing what follows, right?
But seriously...ah, what the heck. Take a deep breath and go for it...
1. Popcorn Bags
When you make a bag of popcorn, can you fish the bag out of the
microwave when it's done, open it, pour out the contents into a
bowl without either using an oven mitt or repeating a staccato
chorus of "Ow! Ow! Ow!" the whole time?
Can you crumple up the bag a couple of seconds later without
flinching, or do you have to blow into it and bounce it around in
the air for half a minute before doing so?
Here's the truth. A bag of popcorn is hot, but when handled
according to the directions it's not hot enough to fry your
fingers. And yes, you really can crumple up the empty bag
immediately without injuring yourself.
You can also survive having to take a cold shower if you have to,
as well as walking a mile in 100 degree heat with a gas can or
jump-starting your neighbor's car on a cold winter morning.
Only wimps can't handle reasonable (read: not dangerous)
deviations in temperature.
Don't you dare stick your toe in that swimming pool first if others
are already happily enjoying themselves in it. Dive right in, man.
2. Going To The Doctor
I don't know what it is about going to the doctor that strikes such
fear in men's hearts, but we'd better get over it if we know what's
good for us.
When something isn't quite right with your health, you know it.
And that means you also instinctively know that you need to go see
a doctor.
Yet a huge percentage of men bury their heads in the sand and
pretend nothing is going on and that whatever's ailing them will go
away on it's own.
This isn't only dangerous and irresponsible, it's freaking wimpy to
the max.
Any woman can see that your fear is keeping you from taking the
best care of yourself you could. Therefore, you're also not
improving the likelihood that you'll continue to be there for her
and for your future family.
And she isn't impressed.
3. Public Whining
Children are best known for whining, particularly spoiled and
undisciplined ones.
Some men never grow up. They continue to fuss and complain at the
first sign of inconvenience or bother all through their adult lives.
Not coincidentally, these are usually the same men who are
dateless--often without even realizing why.
Simply put, real men never verbalize their reticence or discomfort
toward what they already know needs to be done.
They simply nut up and take care of business. This is like catnip
to women.
Notably, what I'm talking about here is NOT to be confused with
standing up to injustice, manipulation or the like.
If you're ever accused of "whining" by someone whose B.S. you've
just called out, you can let that go in one ear and out the other.
4. Varmints
Here it is: If there's a spider in the house, it's YOU who needs
to deal with it.
You get extra points for doing the deed without nervously squashing
otherwise innocent critters simply because they've been found
outside of their natural habitat.
The general rule is that if the thing is legitimately dangerous
(i.e. scorpion, brown recluse, etc.) then you smash it.
Otherwise, you get some toilet paper, coax it into your grasp and
toss it outside.
You should also be okay with catching and removing toads, lizards
and other small and harmless creatures.
Even more bonus points are yours if you can catch harmless garden
snakes...if only for personal enjoyment. Just don't "surprise" your
girlfriend with it or anything.
5. Flat Tires
Do you know how to change a flat tire? You should, because it's
not going to end well for you if SHE has to do it while you stand
there and watch helplessly.
In other words, she'd better not have to break a nail because you
were unwilling to get your hands dirty. Sorry, but that's how
she'd look at it.
It's even more to your credit if you actually LOOK FORWARD to
changing one, even if in the back of your mind you're miffed by the
inconvenience and the cost of fixing or replacing the thing.
Contrast a guy like that with the quiet majority who don't even
know how to find all the pieces to the jack their car came equipped
with, let alone how to use it.
I've known guys with full-size pickup trucks who were completely
nonplussed as to how to release the spare from where it's stored
below the bed...if they could even find it at all.
So then, there are the first five. How are you doing so far?
The good news is that all of the examples I've shared are
completely within your control to get right. Did you notice that?
Rest assured the other five I'll reveal to you tomorrow are as
well. Stay tuned until then to find out what they are.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
