WHAT'S INSIDE: Once and for all, let's settle it... Do people who
are more alike attract each other or is it really true that"opposites attract"?

SEE FOR YOURSELF
It's been about a year since I summoned the courage to tell you
about Pheromone Advantage for the first time.
A LOT of you wrote me e-mails back then that read exactly like my
thoughts USED to.
Doubt. Confusion. Even resentment over the fact that a guy like
me would talk about something like pheromones.
That lasted about a day or two.
Then a couple of weeks later, I started getting DIFFERENT e-mails.
These were from guys who'd actually TRIED the stuff.
I have to admit, at first I braced myself.
Some of the guys writing me were Ten-Plus guys who I actually talk
to personally on a regular basis.
My good name was on the line with those guys perhaps more
than any others.
But these later e-mails echoed what I think about Pheromone Advantage
nowadays.
It was working for those guys EXACTLY as it had for Emily's son David
and me.
And yes, even those guys were a little surprised...in the BEST way
possible.
So all that's left to ask is, "What are you waiting for?"
Why not get in on the fun for yourself?

A life where women are perkier and friskier when they're around
you is a LOT nicer than one where they carry on doing "business
as usual".
But like I said yesterday, don't take my word for it.

SO DO LIKES OR OPPOSITES ATTRACT?
"I'm a walking, talking dichotomy. I hope you're the same."
"I'm looking for someone with as many things in common as me."

It's a question that has perplexed--if not flat-out flustered--
humankind since the very inception of civilized male/female
attraction, isn't it?
Do people who are more ALIKE or more OPPOSITE ultimately attract
each other?
And moreover, the deeper question: Are we more likely to succeed
in a RELATIONSHIP with someone who is more ALIKE or more OPPOSITE
to ourselves?
Well, anyone who is familiar with the famous Myers-Briggs
personality inventory test knows that the claim that comes along
with it is that the happiest couples are almost always OPPOSITE
personality types.
Meanwhile, it's readily apparent from how the folks over at
eHarmony, for example, do business that they believe that LIKES
attract.
So who's right and who's wrong here?
Here's my surprising answer: BOTH and NEITHER.
That's right. After lots of consideration of the issue at hand,
I've arrived at the conclusion that there is a GREY AREA here that
few, if any, people ever consider.
The truth is that in order for a man and a woman to be truly
compatible in a relationship, they have to be ALIKE in some ways
and DIFFERENT in others.
Now, before you dismiss what I've just said as calling the whole
thing a "toss up" and walking away from the dilemma, know this:
How we and our female companions need to be ALIKE and how we need
to be different is NOT RANDOM (i.e. purely subject to whatever
turns us on).
In fact, it's crucially important to know how to sort this all out
as you're evaluating women.
So then, let's elaborate a bit on what needs to be ALIKE between
you and a woman you're likely to have a great relationship with.
For starters, she's going to need to have the same core believe
system (aka "world view") as you do. For example, if she's
Catholic and you're Agnostic, being opposite will likely be
disastrous.
You just have to build your relationship on the same basic
foundation. Know what I mean?
The two of you will also need to be in lock-step on ideas like
whether or not you want kids (and if so how to raise them), whether
to stay up all night or be an early riser, what "relationship"
means in your case (i.e. are you completely monogamous?) and
whether to eat meat or not.
A myriad of examples could be given. But simply put, you and the
woman of your dreams should be alike PHILOSOPHICALLY.
See how that makes sense?
Next time, in Part Two on this topic we'll cover how you and the
kind of woman you're likely to get along with long term should be
OPPOSITE from each other.
Don't touch that dial...
(WARNING: The next edition will include some pretty entertaining
accounts of misadventures with women from my own past.)
Be Good,
