Does “Instant Attraction” Break New Ground?

March 8th, 2011

Dating videos, designed to help people attract the opposite sex, have been around for quite a while. But a new series of dating videos called “Instant Attraction” have caught the attention of more than just the men they were aimed at.

It seems that the “Instant Attraction” videos are getting a lot of things right because their methods employ a lot of research into the psychology of attraction. They spent a lot of time looking at why two different men can have such disparity in their ability to attract women, even when they are of equal attractiveness. What Mark Sing, the creator of the Instant Attraction videos, has learned is that men must employ a certain psychology and thought process to attract women easily. His method employs steps that men who attract women easily are using already, and Sing is proud of the fact that he took the time to do a lot of research on what works when trying to attract women.

The videos have been so successful that psychologists are now studying them to get better insight into male/female attraction psychology. I think that fact alone makes it pretty clear that Sing and his videos are onto something!

Dating Body Language

September 27th, 2010

Experts say that body language is more than 50% of our communication. So, when you’re out meeting people, or on a first date, it’s a good idea to be able to read these body cues. Here’s a sample of what some of these positions and gestures mean.

  • An asymmetrical sitting position – Sitting on the diagonal toward a person is an indication of interest. Sometimes women will cross their legs with the foot on top pointing right at the man she’s interested in.
  • She licks her lips – Women often lick their lips without even realizing it when she an attractive man.
  • His eyebrows are raised – Men often raise their eyebrows when making eye contact with a woman they’re attracted to.
  • He’ll stand tall with his muscles tight – Consider this the female equivalent of holding in your stomach.
  • Mirroring – People who are flirting tend to mirror each other’s movements. If one person leans in to say something, the other leans in to hear it.
  • Pupils – When we like someone we’re talking to, our pupils dilate.
  • She plays with her hair – This is one of the most common ways a woman gives away that she’s interested. Men may also smooth their hair or adjust their tie.

Pay attention to the body language you’re giving and receiving the next time you’re out. It may be much easier to figure out who is interested in you… and to let them know that you’re interested too.

How Do You Flirt Online?

May 10th, 2008

You’ve probably already found yourself in this situation at work: you’ve emailed your boss and you thought you were being silly, but they took it the wrong way. Yikes. And it then took you many hours to finally explain yourself, only to make you gun shy about saying anything witty in an email ever again.

So when it comes to online flirting, what can you do to ensure you’re not offending anyone, yet still being cool and seductive?

Make sure you’re rereading what you send to someone – Those notes that you send off spontaneously are the ones that will get you in the most trouble. Read and reread what you’re sending before you push that send button.

Even better, have someone else read it – If you have a friend that you trust, have them read the email as well. They’ll be able to tell you if you need to reword something or if you need to strike something completely out of the email itself.

Use email ‘softeners’ – That’s right, you have full permission to use smiley faces and ‘ha ha’ to make sure anything that’s supposed to be funny comes across as funny. ‘Just kidding’ is another good way to make sure your intentions are clear.

Be overly flirtatious – You could also take the route of being overly flirtatious by using cheesy pick up lines and lovey dovey quotes. This way, the other person will laugh to themselves, knowing the meaning, but not really knowing if you mean it or if you don’t….mysterious person that you are.

Practice, practice, practice – Chances are good that even if you do follow this advice, you’re going to run into troubles and mess up from time to time. Instead of beating yourself up over flirting mistakes, learn from them.
