Leaving Graciously & Avoiding Instant Gratification

25 January 2012 | No Comments » | Laveen

Good morning gentlemen,

This is something that has been on my mind since last night. Ever since I had this thought, I have shared it in person with 2 of my top alumni as we were having breakfast together. Coincidentally, another one of them called me this morning to seek advice to a certain dilemma he was facing, because he was seeing a girl and she was giving mixed signals and acting conservative around him half of the time. His dilemma was whether he should just drop all contact with her, although deep down he wanted to pursue something more. I then shared with him about this topic, and I am glad it helped him clear up his thoughts. :)

—————————————-
When you meet a woman, sometimes, she might not always be available (she might have a boyfriend, she might be seeing someone exclusively, she might be going thru a bad time in her relationship/ going through a break-up, be emotionally unavailable). The thing about most guys is that, once they find out that she might have the above, they immediately become indifferent towards her. 

 

The lesson here is: Don’t always be after Instant Gratification (in dating). Always look Long-Term! Think outside the box & look at the big-picture!

She might not be available now, but leaving graciously and accepting the fact that it’s not the right time now will almost guarantee that you will stand out, and be one of the 1st men that she thinks of the moment she becomes available.

Also, it is always useful to have female allies. Who knows, the next time you bump into her, even if she still has a boyfriend.. she will introduce you to her hot, sexy friend(s) of hers. 

Keep that in mind the next time you meet an ‘unavailable’ woman :)

MINDSET#1: have Zen-like patience

MINDSET#2: always look at the Big (Macro) picture. eyes on the prize!

Till the next post, have a great week ahead gentlemen,

Dating #101 tip for Men: “Don’t put women on a pedestal”

15 January 2012 | No Comments » | Laveen

Dating #101 tip for Men: Don’t put women on a pedestal. Treat beautiful women like how you would the old lady at the supermarket.

You wouldn’t have to ‘take her off her pedestal’ if you didn’t put her there in the first place.

Women are people too. :)

If you treat a beautiful woman normally and she reacts coldly.. It’s most likely cause she feels uncomfortable with herself, she is not used to being treated this way. It’s not you, so don’t take it personally.

P.S.: I am not saying that you should treat a woman nastily to get her attention. If you do & she opens up to you receptively, then congrats.. you’ve got yourself an insecure woman while being untrue to yourself.

 
Sincerely,

Laveen a.k.a Romantic Rogue

Of Highpoints, Dimensions & Creating A Universe between you & your woman

2 January 2012 | No Comments » | Laveen

Hey readers,

 

A few things that has been etched in my mind in the past day:

 

HIGHPOINTS

Don’t go looking for it. It will come naturally, learn to recognise them and either: LEAD, or LEAVE

(this will allow you to come back on another highpoint. And she will look forward to your next move. Leaves her coming back for more ;) .. TRUE STORY, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It also creates anticipation. Leaving on Highpoints also gets you used to walking away, relates to non-neediness)


HAVING DIMENSIONS

(related to Push-Pull)

Being one dimensional and behaving the same way towards her is predictable. You cannot possibly be ‘warm’ to her all the time, or ‘cold’ to her all the time. Push-Pull creates confusion in her. Remember: “The one being confused is the one being led”.

Having dimensions to your personality means having different sides, like a six-sided dice. You convey your different personalties at different times, and each dimension conveys certain character traits. Having a great LIFESTYLE helps greatly in showing your different dimensions.

Solution: Be certain (CERTAINTY Attribute!) & Be real. 
(real people have multiple moods and dimensions, and also creates unpredictability.. which naturally creates excitement within her.)

 

 

CREATE A UNIVERSE OF YOU & HER

Make everything that you do about you and your woman. Create a little ‘universe’ of you & her. This is also called making it personal.

MINDSET: Women are teammates!

HELP HER TO HELP YOU! Examples are giving each other nicknames that only you both know. Women LOVE these kinda little ‘universes’. Make her feel special.

Making it personal also enables you to paint a picture in here mind (of what is to come). Once you do that, her mind will go crazy in anticipation & excitement.. TRUST ME ;)
She will be looking forward, instead of rejecting your thoughts/ advances.

I don’t chase, I attract..

17 December 2011 | No Comments » | Laveen

 

“LEADERSHIP, FUN & HAVING CERTAINTY is all you need”

 

I don’t chase, I attract..

Gentlemen, as the saying goes: “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.” Thus, if you wanna stand out, be different. STOP doing the same things that other guys are doing.

Tonight, I was invited down to Club V4 (a Thai club) at Windsor Hotel by these 2 nineteen year old Singaporean chinese girls whom I met previously, Patricia(P) & her friend Joyce (J). I know that these girls are young impressionable girls who like the attention of guys. Today I saw it first hand..

So I reached at 4am, P brought me over to the table. As I said hi to P and J, their cute bestfriend, Kit, interrupted & introduced herself to me. She was exuding a strong sexual vibe and was giving me that (DTF look) sexual eye contact. At the table, there were 2 other guys who were their friends. Introduced and vibed with the guys.

Soon after, 2 more guys came. Total 5 guys & 3 girls at the table. Typical scenario, lol. I found out the dynamics/ logistics of the people at the table by asking Patricia.. I wanted to know what’s the deal with Kit. Patricia tells me that all of them are just friends.

As soon as I turned to Joyce, she pointed at the 2 guys flanking her, and says that those are her boyfriends. I congratulated them for being so lucky. She playfully points at the other guy at the table and says that he’s her boyfriend too. I honestly didn’t care cause I knew she was testing my resolve. (Remember: fun & certainty, guys!).

I knew that they wanted me to give them attention, like the other guys were doing and being touchy with them. I wasn’t there to do that. Clearly, they had more than enough attention from the chodes anyway, and I don’t chase.

So I left the table and explored the club for a bit before coming back. Vibed with everyone at the table, and all I needed to do was to STAND OUT, using the Attributes (Leadership, Fun & Certainty). Patricia was being very touchy with me, and so was Joyce as she made excuses to talk to me throughout the night.

 

—————
[Sidetrack :Gentlemen, even if you forget the 2 other attributes, never forget Leadership. Girls are always looking for that man who is decisive, who can lead, who takes initiative. She is looking to YOU to lead! Other guys don't do that, especially in Singapore. Don't be wishy-washy.]
—————

 

So as we left the club and were standing at the hotel lobby, all 3 girls initiated to hug me. As I embraced Kit, I smelled her hair and before letting go, told her that it smelled great (it really did). she then proceeded to take her hair and let me smell it again. Found out that Kit stays near me, so I told her that we were gonna go for supper, just the both of us.

Hugged Joyce and Patricia goodbye also. They asked if they were gonna see me tomorrow (they invited me to club with them) I told them no.

As we said goodbye, all except Kit & I started walking in the opposite direction (the guy was gonna send them home). Clearly, Kit wanted to come with me. One of the guys who was with Kit earlier was apprehensive in leaving
Kit & I alone. When he didn’t look, I took Kit by the hand and walked away. She played along and was laughing. Soon after the guy joined us saying he wanted to go for supper. Fine by me.

So we walked to my car nearby, and before we left, Patricia called Kit asking where we were gonna go for supper. I told them East side (only Kit & I stay in the East lol). They say that they wanted to come and were being wishy-washy about it.

Here’s the part that I was willing to walk away: As Kit & Pat were still on the phone being wishy washy, I told them that they are free to join, if not I am still going, with or without them. Bad logistics, which I cannot fight against, and Kit eventually said that she was tired. So I left.

At the end of the day, I do not wanna be the guy who sent the girls back all the way to Sembawang & Woodlands just to be in their “good books”, and the other guy who took a taxi just to send Kit back. Because I know that at the end of the day I will be the one that the girls remember and come back to.

 

Remember, all you need to do is STAND OUT..
———————————>>>
Few lessons to learn here, guys: 

- All you need is to display Leadership & Fun (and certainty when it’s needed)

- ****Very IMPT!!**** Never underestimate the power of the attributes. When in doubt, just remember the attributes. Keep it simple!

- Steady Eye contact. Nuff’ said.

- When you Lead, do not be wishy-washy. Be decisive.

- Power of the Walk Away. Be willing and okay with walking away. Circumstances may not allow anything more to happen immediately (i.e tonight), but think Big-Picture. Sometimes it needs patience and better logistics.

———————————->>>

The best way to learn all these lessons is to EXPERIENCE it yourself. Although this whole interaction lasted less than 30mins & I already knew exactly what to do, it is always a good reminder, and to stay sharp and grow through more experiences.

Hope you guys learnt something from this and enjoyed reading it! :)

She likes me, she likes me not?.. Understanding how Attraction works and using it to your advantage

19 September 2011 | No Comments » | Laveen

What’s up dear readers,

I have been pondering upon this topic for the past few days, and it always fascinates me how this thing called “Attraction” works. A lot of self-confessed gurus have tried to define ATTRACTION. Don’t worry, I’m not here to do that haha. The truth is.. the ‘what’ of attraction can never be fully deciphered. There are so many different possible types and scenarios, that it is not important to know the definition.

Knowing the definition will not help you.. Instead, understanding HOW it works and using it to your advantage will help you gain awareness of yourself and of women.  

One of the mindsets we teach at Maverick Man is: She likes me already

This means that, as long as she is still talking you, she likes you. Neither does she hate nor find you repulsive, cause if she did, she wouldn’t even bother listening to anything you have to say. Think about it for a moment. I want you to imagine the person whom you hate, an enemy that you have. If you bumped into him/her along Orchard Road one day, what are the chances that you will even bother to say hi? Heck, you might even walk faster to avoid that person. If that person came up to you, I’m willing to bet that you wouldn’t even give him/her the light of day. (If you don’t agree, drop me a PM cause I’d like to meet you and let you talk to my enemies :P )

What I am saying is, in the dating context: As long as a woman is talking to you, SHE LIKES YOU! 

 

Don’t make it any more complicated for yourself than many people already do!

 

Here’s an analogy I have, it is rated from 0-2:

0 – No

1 – Maybe

2 – Yes

 

How does this work, you might ask. This numbers shows your value in the eyes of a woman. The highest you can aim to be is obviously number 2, a YES. This is how she see’s you as a prospective partner.

If she hates you and won’t even bother talking to you, you are a ZERO in her eyes.

 

THE GOOD NEWS IS..

It is very difficult to be a zero (I’m not saying that you should strive to be that lol).

The good news is that, as long as you are talking to a woman and she is talking to you,

you are a  1 – Maybe

 

Always remember: A maybe is good enough.

From there, as you both progress in the interaction and enjoy each others’ company, you can strive to be more than a maybe in her eyes, and she will work hard to ensure that she is good enough in your eyes too.

That’s all for now gentlemen, thanks for reading. If you like my articles, drop a comment in the box below. And as always, share this link with someone whom you think it will be useful for. Spread the love!

Post-program review – Maverick Man PI (9th – 11th Sep 2011)

13 September 2011 | No Comments » | Laveen

What’s up guys,

I hope your weekend’s been good. After 3 intensive days of coaching, the 1st ever Maverick Man Private Instruction (PI) program has just wrapped up. I am sitting here at a cosy little cafe sipping my iced milk tea as I write this.. my way of unwinding and reflecting over the past weeks’ events.

This weekend’s client is an educated, good looking young man who has had almost ZERO experience and success with women before the program (the furthest that he had ever progressed with a woman was asking her on 2 solo dates in his entire life of 21 years). This lack of experience and interaction with the opposite sex had made him lacking in confidence and certainty when it came to dating. That was the pressing issue that he had to overcome. Other than that, he is a great, nice guy with good intentions with women.

Often, it is these kind of clients who come to us for help; men with good intentions who are just lacking that self-esteem to behave naturally around women. When they come to us for help, we as coaches are like a mirror.. simply there to make them realize how much potential they already have and to make them better men (not just for women, but to be the best /version of themselves).

 

Alright, time to talk about what happened over the weekend:

 

On Day #1, Xavier and I met the client at a cafe in town. Over the next 4 hours, we reviewed his questionnaire goals & taught him the necessary foundational theory lessons that was customized to his development. In this interactive lesson, we challenged his thinking and urged him to ask many questions and express himself. Set immediate goals for the client to work on.

 

Night #1 (also known as “Reality Breaker Night”), we re-convened at St James Powerhouse for the night portion of the program. This was a completely new environment for the client, having only ever clubbed once before. We told him to focus on having fun and be comfortable in the club. The night started off by showing him around the many themed-clubs within the building, making him aware of his logistics (location of the bar to have drinks, dancefloor to dance, chill out areas to have conversations, etc). This was necessary so that he could formulate a basic gameplan for the night. Throughout the night, I led him around the club and we went into interactions together to show him how it is done. At ‘Boiler Room’, he was able to use what he learnt to lead the girl in a dance, and arrange for a date with her again. His mistakes and sticking points were corrected on the spot, and we pushed him to correct those mistakes in the subsequent interactions.

 

Day#2. We met in the afternoon to teach him how to interact with women in the daytime. Over the next 4 hours, he was taught the theory, and practical aspects of the lessons. We then went to one of the bookstores in town to practice what was taught. He was a very hesitant at first, but with a little bit of prompting, he managed to overcome his nerves and talk to a woman who was browsing the magazine section. The other guys were also hanging around the bookstore and talking to women in their respective sections. Rick managed to get a woman’s contact number, and so did THS.

 

It was already 730pm by time we left the bookstore. I was damn hungry, so we headed over to Far East for a grooming makeover session with the client to enhance his image, before heading for a HUGE dinner.

 

Night #2, headed back to St James. Entered the club at about 12mn. The first part of the night started off by teaching the client some of our trademark Dancefloor Seduction Game. We then headed over to Movida and The Boiler Room where the client was forced to get out of his comfort zone and talk to people and have fun. On the dancefloor, the client practiced what was taught. As an intructor, I was on hand to guide him and correct his mistakes. Throughout the night, he asked a couple of ‘what if’ questions. I told him the the only way to get the answer is to find out himself.. by doing it first.

 

It is only after you’ve done it where you will realize that the ‘what if’ questions were unfounded. We always urge clients to “Keep It Simple”, which means not to complicate the whole process. For example, if you see a girl that you like, there could be a million reasons why you shouldn’t talk to her (she has a mole on her face,  you don’t like the colour of her dress etc), but if there’s one reason why you should talk to her, then just do it. It’s either a “Yes” or “No”, “Want” or “Don’t Want”.

 

So anyway, by the end of the night, the client had been pushed into different scenarios, and gained experience. He had a few sticking points for the night, which I addressed and reminded him of during the de-brief. Went through what the things he did right, and the things he didn’t do right. Also went through the things that he could have done better.

 

Day #3: Reflections of the weekend, and lifestyle design planning for post-program:

Met the client at one of my favourite dinner spots in town, where we went through his weekend. Also set his immediate, short-term & long-term goals . In addition, he was taught about online and social media (Facebook) game and how to design his lifestyle after the weekend. After the session, we sat down for a nice end-of-week dinner to unwind.

The 1st Maverick Man program weekend!

9 September 2011 | No Comments » | Laveen

Hey guys,

 

It’s Laveen a.k.a the Romantic Rogue and today marks the start of the weekend that I have been looking forward to.. because it is the:

 

1ST Maverick Man Private Instruction weekend! :confetti:

I am so excited that I am still up at 6am writing this post lol. It is a great privilege to be entrusted to help improve the quality of one’s life, thus I look forward to meet the client this afternoon.

Two years ago in May 2009, I faced the same problems that many of these men come to me for today. I understand precisely how it is to feel helpless with women, to feel lonely.. and to see the girl of my dreams with someone else whom I thought couldn’t offer as much as I did. Believe me, I hated that feeling. I know the struggles that these men face, the lessons that they are gonna learn and the way their lives will be transformed by this weekend. That’s why I always feel a great sense of pride when I am given the opportunity to help someone like that.

If you’re wondering what goes on during these programs, allow me to give you a little preview.. :

Before the program even begins, we ask specific questions to understand the client’s strengths, weaknesses & goals for the program. At Maverick Man, we believe only in quality, customized learning targeted to help the student.

On the 1st day:

a 4-hour theory lesson will be conducted to introduce the student to basic fundamentals of dating. We instill new mindsets to remove any limiting-beliefs, and go through key lessons on the different kinds of awareness. The art of conversation is also explained. In this session, the students are then challenged in their learning, by various exercises and simulated practices.

Night #1, also known as “Reality-Breaker night”:

Like the name says, this is the night that the lessons are put through its paces and students are challenged to step out of their comfort-zone. This night never fails to amaze me, seeing the light-bulbs and switches going off in the students’ mind. LOL.

.. and tonight will be no different ;)

Well, I did say that I’ll give you a little preview. If you wanna know more about what happens on the rest of the program, feel free to email me and I might just throw in a little bonus.. ;)

Until the next post, this is Laveen signing out for now

 

Later players!

(UNSHAKABILITY) The importance of getting a woman to play into your Game Plan

1 September 2011 | No Comments » | Laveen

What up players,

Today I have decided to write an article on “The importance of getting a woman to play into your Game Plan”. Having spoken to Xavier and getting to understand more about this from him, I realized how IMPORTANT and simple this one sentence really is and I am here to share it with you today.

 

“Don’t play into a woman’s Game Plan. Let her play into YOURS!” – Xavier See

 

Firstly, majority of guys make the critical & common mistake of playing into a woman’s Game Plan. I’ve heard so many examples of men trying to chase or “jio” a girl for months or even years, without success. In rare instances, the girl would eventually decide WHEN to give in, and when to accept a date from the man. Heck, I’ve been in that same position, many many times before so I know how it feels. This leaves the girl in control because the guy is playing into her Game Plan. It is time-consuming, emotionally draining and shows the man’s lack of self-respect by doing that. THIS IS NOT GOOD!

 

If you recap your Maverick Man lessons, part of the LEADERSHIP attractive trait means to take responsibility for your own actions, which translates into you having to take control (and BEING IN CONTROL) of an interaction at ALL TIMES!!

 

 

Here’s what you need to know about “The importance of getting a woman to play into your Game Plan”:

 

- “It is more important to win a monumental victory, than to win a small battle” (Definition: I’d rather give the girl a lasting experience that she WILL remember me as THAT GUY that she can never forget, rather that the random dude that she slept with on a night out.) –> because the AIM is always to get RETENTION (refer to next sentence below)

- Remember that the AIM is: RETENTION

- This leaves you in CONTROL of the interaction at ALL TIMES. (E.G: You know when to escalate and when to stop the escalation, you know your current step and what your next step is.)

- Letting her play into your Game Plan and NOT playing into her Game Plan shows UNSHAKABILITY on your part (unshakability means sticking to your guns and not getting thrown off my her little ‘tests’ that she WILL throw at you)

(Example: she will try to throw you off with her words, but being a Maverick Man Alumni, you know not to read her words, but look at her actions. – because she can tell you to Fuck Off, but she’s still standing there talking to you LOL)

 

Also, letting her play into YOUR Game Plan means that even if she is a very high quality or conservative girl who is a “4 course meal”, she will play into your Game Plan and may even sleep with you on the 1st or 2nd date because the fact that she is that kinda girl doesn’t faze you from escalating like how you would on any other girl. Her playing into your Game Plan means that she accepts that you are a bad-ass/ player and that if anything happens, she can feel that it’s not because she was easy, but that you’re like that and being a MAN, you are responsible for everything that happens between you and her.

 

That’s it for now dear readers, share your comments and questions below.

P.S: if you read carefully and really understand what I wrote, you will realize that all these theories are interlinked, and it’s not so complicated after all.

And if you have any questions, feel free to email me at laveen@maverick-man.com
