Things A Player Never Wants To Hear.

Women are intelligent creatures -- they’re methodical, emotionally balanced (well, mostly) and can make a man weak in the knees with minimal effort. Of course, sometimes they can make gaffs (rare, but it happens), and that includes saying things or asking questions that you just don’t want to hear at all. We’ve already covered some of these taboo one-liners, but, in the spirit of helping guys take a cue that the red flags are waving high, here are some things a Player never wants to hear.

“So one time, my ex-boyfriend...”

For the women who are reading, I ask you to lend an extra set of ears for this one. Talking about ex-boyfriends is like talking about the elephant in the room -- but in this case, no guy wants (or needs) to hear about it.

When women talk about their ex-boyfriends, they’re really making a comparison between you and the chump who didn’t treat her right before you. You’re starting to cross the finish line, and she’s looking to take you to the next leg of the race. It’s time to back out before there’s no turning back. She’s actually implying a set of expectations, and as such, you can now expect the comparisons to continue from this point onward (she’s just verbalizing what she was already forming when she met you.) It’s tone of those things a Player never wants to hear, and the red flag should be going haywire in the Player’s mind. A word of advice for the female readers: No guy ever wants to hear anything about other guys, unless you’re bashing them mercilessly.

“Isn’t this perfect?”

Thought you heard this in a sappy movie you saw last week? You’re bang on. You might hear this little pseudo love-song lyric after an amazing night out on the town when you’re sharing an intimate moment with your girl, or perhaps she whispers this thing a Player never wants to hear after a good romp in the sack. Either way, this simple line sends chills down the spines of many Players who know that they’re in too deep. What it implies is that that one perfect moment (with you) shouldn’t be the last; she’s planning on doing it many times over again, which may sounds like a golden ticket but what it really means is a long-term commitment that you don’t want.

There really is no way to escape this “magical” moment, but the best course of action is not to egg it on. Don’t reciprocate with harlequin romance responses; never mention anything that she might construe as building a long-term relationship. The next time you go out, don’t create a scenario where this line might come up again.

Dating Very Attractive Women 101.

Let's be honest: Good-looking women in the 21st century have the world -- literally -- by the balls. That's because for very attractive women men are panting puppets, sex is available on demand and money flows from male wallets in a never-ending stream of avarice.

Without lifting a finger, very attractive women enjoy lives that most people can only fantasize about.

For men, the lure of dating very attractive women is obvious as they are arm candy, boost self-esteem, increase social status among men, multiply a guy's sexual desirability, and hot women are just damn good to look at. While all of this is well and good, very attractive women have their dark side and can be shallow, self-centered and self-absorbed, not to mention that many of them are selfish, think that their vaginas are gold-plated, and are manipulators, among many other negative qualities.

Despite these drawbacks, very attractive women are what most guys look for. Since these women are constantly bombarded with male attention, they can afford to be highly selective about the men they date, which usually lands them some dude with money first and good looks second.

Is there any hope for you if you don't have extremely good looks or lots of cash? Well, you just might be able give yourself a decent shot if you're willing to make a couple of shifts in your dating strategy and take our advice on dating very attractive women.

The key to success with dating very attractive women is to be different. Beautiful women have heard it all, so if you want a chance at very attractive women, you're going to have to do something different.

Here are a few examples of what it takes when dating very attractive women:

Treat her like she's nothing special

Talk to her like you would any other person. Don't act awestruck by her looks, don't gush out compliments and never stare at her with lust. Reduce the intimidation factor, be debonair and seem aloof, as if you don't care about her looks. Whatever you do, don't assume she doesn't want to talk to you. Dating very attractive women requires you to almost seem indifferent.

Don't hit on her

This is what she expects from the typical guy, so just make like you're ignoring her. This is a great technique to use if you run into very attractive women on a routine basis at work, a coffee shop or a health club. If you don't give her any attention -- while openly paying attention to other women -- she won't be able to stand it because you'll be the only guy within a hundred miles who isn't drooling over her. With luck, she'll be intrigued. Avoid pickup lines at all costs.

Tease her

Very attractive women can sense fear and insecurity the way a moth smells pheromones, so be light, fun and entertaining. Boyish charm can take you a long way with these women -- many of the great-looking guys they date can be seriously personality-challenged.
Talk about her interests & passions

Stimulate her mind, as other guys probably don't. Show interest in her intellect and make her comfortable. Play on your good aspects and not your looks -- but don't lie to impress her.

Don't compliment her

Don't put her on a pedestal, where she usually sits with other men. If you do give her a minimal compliment, follow up with something off-putting. Tell her, for example, that she's wearing a nice dress, but that your sister has the same one. This says she has good fashion style, but that she's not entirely original.

Tell her she's not up to your standards

Tell her you'd like to ask her out, but she's just not up to your usual standards (watch her jaw hit the floor). If you really want to throw her, steal her thunder and tell her that you think you should be just friends.

Wait a little while to call her

If you get her phone number, wait at least a week to call her -- and then tell her you'll try to fit a date with her into your schedule.

Don't push for sex

She knows she's got the goods, so when you're out with her, she expects you to be a horndog. Make her wait and it will drive her crazy.

Run hot & cold

If you haven't gone out with her yet, be extremely friendly, and follow it up with a period of aloofness. Or date her a couple of times, then drop her cold (with every intention of starting back up again). She'll be stunned.

Keep her guessing

The idea is to keep her off-balance, intrigued and guessing -- make her want to spend time with you just because you're so different from any other guy out there. Just remember: Don't let your guard down and go wimpy on her -- the very second she thinks she's in control of you, it's all over. So by being different, by bringing a little refreshing change into the life of very attractive women, you might be surprised -- it might just be the breath of fresh air she's been looking for. Sure, it's no magic charm, and it's certainly not going to work every time. Trying to score a date with very attractive women is definitely a numbers game. But all it takes is one, and if you pull it off, you're going to be in for the sweetest ride of your life.

How to Give a Fake Phone Number 101.

You’re at the bar with some friends and some irritating strangers have just introduced themselves to you and bought a round of drinks. While you and your friends are happy for the free drinks such a display of generosity rarely comes without strings attached and this case is no exception—you are asked for your phone number! Refusing to give a number or stammering out an obvious fake like 555-1234 is perfectly acceptable but it has the potential to ruin the evening, especially if one of your friends is interested in continuing a conversation with one of the drink-buyers. A believable fake number will allow you to extricate yourself from an uncomfortable situation without ruffling any feathers.

1. Step 1

   Prepare for potentially having to give a fake number by coming up with one before you leave your house. The number should be easy to remember just in case you’ve had a few drinks by the time you are asked for it. Try creating a phone number by combining two numbers that you already know well, like the first three digits of your last phone number and the last four digits of a friend’s phone number. Even better, memorize the fax number at your dentist’s office—that way they won’t be bothering anyone when they call.

2. Step 2

   Make sure that your fake phone number contains at least one of the following numbers: 1, 7, or 9. These numbers can be written in such a way that it is difficult to tell them apart from each other. Practice writing these numbers so that they could be mistaken for one another.

3. Step 3

   Insist on writing out your phone number on a piece of paper. There is no chance that your number will be misread if it’s programmed into a cellphone! Write your number yourself—use the excuse that the bar is too loud and that you don’t want to shout your phone number out. As you write the number make sure that any 1s, 7s, and 9s could be mistaken as each other.

4. Step 4

   Only give your first name, but don’t lie about it. A fake first name will give you away immediately if one of your friends calls out to you, but telling someone your last name will allow them to look up your phone number or any mention of you on the internet. If they insist on a last name, give them the last name of the last person you dated. It will be easy to remember and there won’t be any connection to you.

5. Step 5

   Leave immediately. Mumble an excuse about needing to be with your friends right now or needing to use the restroom and get yourself away from this person for the rest of the night. But don’t forget to enjoy your free drink.

How To Recognize A Womanizer......

The word “Casanova” evolved from an Italian womanizer who had over a hundred one night stands. Casanova was a lady killer from Venice; he would wine and dine women, charm them, make them feel beautiful and irresistible, take them to bed, and … move on to the next woman the next day.

Casanovas are also known as womanizers, lotharios, tom cats, lady killers, seducers, predators and players. Many womanizers have a “line” for picking up women; they have a whole strategy from start to finish. After you learn how to recognize a womanizer, you'll see through his facade.

The personality traits of womanizers make them easy to recognize.

Womanizers are master manipulators. Though the words “Casanova”, “tom cat”, “womanizer”, “lothario” and “seducer” may seem flirty and flattering, the behavior of lady killers is far from innocent. The sooner you learn to recognize a womanizer, the better off you'll be.

How to Recognize a Womanizer

Womanizers are charming. They’re attentive, interested, curious – and they make women feel special. Womanizers have one goal: to get a woman into bed as quickly as possible and then move on to the next one. They’re seducers who are addicted to the "power" they feel when seducing women. This is one way to recognize a womanizer: they're addicted to the chase and challenge of love.

Womanizers are often in touch with women’s feelings, and can adeptly manipulate those feelings to their advantage. For instance, a womanizer will express empathy for a woman’s professional or personal problems, and let the woman vent her feelings. Once she feels comfortable and relaxed with the lady killer, he’ll make his move.

Womanizers are good at what they do.

How to Recognize a Womanizer: The Inner Workings of a Don Juan

Some psychologists believe womanizers or lotharios struggle with low self-esteem, and their sexual conquests make them feel better about themselves. It’s a temporary high, though. Womanizers may have unstable or nonexistent relationships with father figures – especially in early childhood – which makes them insecure about who they are. Knowing this will help you recognize a womanizer.

“Casanovas tend to exhibit some traits associated with psychopathy,” says Robert Hare, author of "Without Conscience" in Psychology Today (“The Lady Killer Files”, November December 2007). Womanizers may have to manipulate and deceive women to get what they want, and they may ignore guilty feelings – or they may not feel any guilt at all. This, too, will help you recognize a womanizer.

Womanizers tend to sleep with inappropriate partners, flirt with their friends’ wives, and have secrets about their romantic lives. Many lady killers are addicted to sleeping around with different women, but don’t find their sexual conquests fulfilling in the long term.

Recognizing a Womanizer Means Resisting a Womanizer

When you think you've met a Casanova, Don Juan or womaizer and you don't want to be another notch in his bed post, don't let yourself be manipulated into bed. A womanizer will give you the cold shoulder just as quickly as he'll wine and dine you. You need to decide what you want, and stand firm.

Womanizers probably aren't good candidates for long-term relationships. If you're looking for a healthy relationship, you need to not only recognize a womanizer -- you need to look past him.

Sending Women Drinks 101.

We went over the dos and don’ts of buying women drinks in a previous article, and now we’re moving on to the issue of sending women drinks from across the bar. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. You’d be wise to follow AM’s guidelines for sending a drink over to a lady who has caught your attention to avoid coming off as a creep instead of the gentleman that you are. You’re aiming for suave, not sleazy. If you play your cards right, you’ll make a big impression on her as a gentleman with style and confidence.

Use the bartender as your wingman

To pull this off correctly, it’s essential to get the bartender on your side. Make sure to treat him with respect and not like a lackey. After all, his delivery will go a long way to determining how the woman is going to react. If his body language says you’re a jerk, it doesn’t matter what words he uses when he brings the drink over to her. When sending women drinks, the bartender is your wingman and in order to make him a helpful and willing one, you should be nice and tip big.

Ask what she’s drinking

You can’t just order any old drink and send it over to her. You should ask the bartender what she’s drinking and send another of the same to her when it looks like her drink is getting a little low (but before she orders a fresh one). If you end up choosing something she doesn’t like, you’ll have wasted a drink and won't get the reaction you desire. Play it safe and send her something you know will please her taste buds. Another way of doing this is to ask the bartender to charge you for whatever drink she orders next. When he hands it to her he can gesture in your direction, indicating that it’s on you.

The casual nod

As the bartender takes the drink over, keep your eyes on the woman. When he points you out to her, put on a genuine smile and give a casual nod. You could also slightly raise your glass toward her. Don’t jump up and down or wave at her like a lunatic. You don’t have to act overly eager. Just keep it cool and sincere.

Observe her reaction

The next step is to watch her reaction to see whether or not you should make your way over to introduce yourself. If she returns your smile and waves, you’ve got a green light. If she turns to her friends and giggles, give it some time to figure out whether she’s laughing at you or expressing her delight to the girls. Anything along the lines of eye-rolling, nose-upturning or refusing the drink is obviously a bad sign. In that case, shrug it off.

Introduce yourself

Give her a chance to enjoy her drink. Then, if her reaction is favorable, approach her and start up a conversation. You shouldn’t act cocky or assume anything just because she accepted your drink. You have created yourself an in to start things off with her, but don’t take it for granted. You still have to use your wit and charm to make a good impression. A proper follow-up is key when it comes to sending women drinks.

The ice is broken

Sending a woman a drink is a classic move that many women will appreciate. It’s an old-school gentlemanly move (you know Clooney would approve) that doesn’t get used too much these days, and therefore has some novelty appeal. If you feel like taking a more direct approach, you could just go up and talk to her, but sending over a cocktail first will make her feel special and show her that you’re a generous guy. Sending a drink over will definitely provide you with an easy icebreaker. From there, it’s up to you to form a connection and get her interested in you.

Norman Foster launches his first $24 million superyacht for timeshare.

The experts believe that the fractional ownership market will be one of the first industries to recover when the economy goes on rebound. For those who have made a move toward fractional ownership, British architect Lord Norman Foster has launched his much-awaited first superyacht, the Ocean Emerald for YachtPlus. The 41-meter contemporary superyacht has been designed with a strong emphasis on space and light and has five suites for up to 12 guests, with a crew of seven. The bespoke yacht features furnishings and fittings by Italian manufacturer Cassina, and kitchen and galley equipment by Schiffini. The four-deck yacht also features jet ski storage, a submergible beach deck and a glass-walled main saloon offering 180 degrees of unrestricted views. All arrangements from bookings to transport, private jet, helicopter transfers and onboard requests will be taken care of, thereby further enhancing the ultimate experience in hospitality, service and luxury. The Ocean Emerald will be the first of four identical Foster + Partners designed superyachts to be launched by the company over the next two years. A one-eighth purchase on one of the four yachts will cost €1.87m, which will entitle the owners 30 nights a year onboard. Alternatively, those wishing to only purchase a half fraction – a 1/16th share – will pay €975K for 15 nights a year onboard. Apparently, Norman’s net worth has plummeted from £250 million to a paltry £170 million over the last year.
