Women: Flirt Like Zita!

I decided I’m going to do podcasts every week, maybe I’ll make it Thursdays?

Anyway, this blog is just for the women! I have a friend I met years ago in the water when I was surfing- if you remember the beach is one of my comfort places. Her name is Zita; she was born in Italy from Italian and Greek parents, and came here to America when she was a teen. I learned a lot about how women flirt and attract men through Zita- she is still, to this day, the first name that comes to mind when think of a woman who has absolute control over her dating life. Zita could absolutely control men through her flirting- she was able to direct her attraction signals to any man in the room and lure them into approaching her. This blog and pocast is a must for any woman.

Please listen to the podcast I attached below. ANY woman can learn A LOT from Zita:
How to Flirt effectively
How to use body language to send signals to men
How to control the room and the men in it
How to have complete control over her dating life.

Women really do have the power to determine who approaches them- shouldn’t you harness this power to entice the man you want to approach you?

Please feel free to make any suggestions for my future blogs and podcasts- I love to take requests. Enjoy this podcast:

Ladies, Are You Available?

I took a leisurely walk to check my PO Box on Chestnut street as I do usually every day during the lunch hour when people spill out into the street. I make a habit of observing everything around me; the sights, the sounds and especially the people. As I make my way down 3rd I give a look and a smile to everyone that passes me by, and maybe even a “How are you?” if you give me a head nod. Every time someone acknowledges my ‘hello’, or even my existence, I look at the situation like it’s another opportunity to meet someone new. I’ve met a lot of people waiting at a red light, just striking up a conversation about a local restaurant, or asking their opinion about something timely in Philly. Every time I make myself available to have a conversation, I create an opportunity to meet someone new. I create opportunities!

So, now you understand my mindset. What actually happened on the way to my PO Box was unfortunately way too common. I passed exactly 42 women during my roundtrip- only two women actually acknowledged I was even there! I got one hello, and one head nod- all the others didn’t even make eye contact with me! Some had their heads buried in their BlackBerrys, or their eyes were glued to the ground. Now to add some comedy to my story, I am actually a good looking guy, tall, a good dresser and in great shape too. I’m only saying this because I think it would be more of a reason for the opposite sex to at least make eye contact. Why does this happen? The women saw me, or they would have walked right into me- right?

Here are the three most popular excuses women, and particularly women, have for not making eye contact- and they are all just excuses.
Paranoia. “I don’t want every guy to think I’m attracted to him.” Men are not going to think you’re attracted to them because you merely acknowledged their existence. Men are just visual animals- if you asked any man to create their perfect girlfriend, they would first go into a physical description before they described personality. If men look at you it’s because they are physically attracted to you, this is an opportunity- try having a conversation first before you judge them. Here is the other one I hear: “I’m in public and they’re strangers- what if they’re psychos or stalkers?” Fact: there is statistically a greater chance of getting struck by lightning, than having an alleged ”psycho” misinterpret your ‘hello’ as a sexual ‘buy signal’ and they stalk you all the way to your business in the middle of the day- this is not going to happen.
“Men Should Make the First Move” The irony behind this statement is that it’s most often said by single women; my typical retort is: “well, how is your waiting strategy working out for you?” I do somewhat agree that men should be making the first move, but only because I’m one of the 5% of men out there who will approach anyone, even those who particularly look unapproachable. The fact is men will not approach you if your body language says “stay away”. Staring at the ground, making love to your Blackberry, avoiding eye contact, or crossing your arms are not buy signals for men. Even the most confident man will hesitate approaching a woman he’s attracted to if she looks like she’s unavailable, uninterested, or cold. Look, ladies, the only work you have to do is display body language that says you’re available. If you make eye contact with a man and smile he will come over- I call that ‘encouragement’. Learn to control your body language- show everyone that you’re available and men will want to meet you. You, however, can control your dating life by encouraging the attractive men to approach you by smiling, making eye contact, saying “hello”, and just flirting.
Location: “I go to meet men elsewhere, when I’m dressed up and go out.” Isn’t it better to casually run into a local man who frequents the same spots you do on a regular basis than give a total stranger, likely under the influence of alcohol, your number at a bar? Men don’t have an agenda when they’re at Wholefoods, or walking back to the office from lunch. Also, if you see an attractive man at Wholefoods, you’re likely to see him again because he’s a local- isn’t this convenient too? If you’re attracted to a man, flirt with him, and encourage him to come over. The best places to meet men are those places that are part of your daily routine!

I try to be brief- but it never works! The message here is that if you’re not making yourself available, you’re passing up several opportunities everyday to meet the man of your dreams, or make new friends. I’m not asking you to do a lot of work- just be approachable and you’ll double your chances of having a man you’re attracted to, approach you. If you are friendly, we are friendly; if you are cold- we are cold. Get your eyes off the ground and away from your iPhone- observe who’s looking at you, and attract the ones you want to meet. I have a menu of courses just for women, in the “Women Only” drop down box at the top of my home page.

Should I Have a Wingman?

A lot of people ask me my opinion about having a wingman- and my answer varies, but only slightly. Lemme explain.

If you have “approach anxiety” because you don’t have the confidence to meet people on your own, then having a wingman can be beneficial. Your wingman however should be your role model- someone you ‘aspire’ to be because they can approach any woman and start an engaging conversation. Find a friend who is a natural conversationalist, a natural socialite- look at how he walks, talks, and most importantly observe his body language. A man that naturally exudes confidence attracts women- this is the man you want to learn from- he should be your wingman. Remember- CONFIDENCE attracts women. Standing there, staring at a woman is creepy and uncomfortable- she will notice your hesitation and lack of confidence and likely exhibit ‘uncomfortable’ body language if you even approach at all.

Women, you should find a ‘wingman’ who knows how to flirt. Find a friend who knows how to smile, who knows how to use her body language to get guys to come her way. Watch the way she walks, the way she enters the room- study her body language- what is it about her that attracts men? She will certainly know how to ‘work’ the room to find a man who can catch her attention, and keep it. She will be fun, and is your first choice for a wingman. As I explained in my last blog, ‘women’s night out’ will only deter most men from approaching you.

Most guys go wrong by selecting a wingman of equal or even less talent. Ultimately they both end up leaning against the wall, with their hands in their pockets staring at women, making comments all night: “wow, that woman is beautiful, after this drink I’m going to go talk to her.” But neither guy ever makes a move and they spend the entire night elbowing each other in the ribs, gawking at the women. Better yet are the excuses I hear, like: “my game isn’t on tonight, so maybe you should talk to her.” What’s worse is the consoling between wingmen when one gets shot down: “That’s okay buddy, she wasn’t as hot as I thought she was anyway”- sour grapes. A Wingman is supposed to help you improve your skills through constructive criticism and leading by example.

The best answer to the wingman question is to not have one at all. If I’m out on my own, I don’t have to put up with my friend’s thoughts on the woman I’m attracted to, and want to approach- I don’t need his approval. Frankly, women see a man on his own as a confident man. Would an insecure man wander into a social scene and approach multiple women unless he had confidence? I also don’t need any wingman support because I’m smart about ‘where’ I meet women. I stick to my comfort places like the beach where I am an authority and therefore very confident. A woman watching me on the beach would immediately recognize me as being very relaxed- if I approach her she will therefore be very relaxed which makes conversation very easy. If I connect with her, asking for her number or a date will only be a natural progression.

Women- as I explained before in other blogs you are twice as likely to be approached by a man if you are not part of a group, or if you are by yourself. The best advice I can give to any woman looking to meet men is to stick with your comfort places. If you are comfortable and relaxed, your body language will show it- you will appear “open and approachable” and men will come your way. When you’re ‘open’ you gain complete control over ‘who’ you attract by throwing smiles, looks, and flirty words in their direction.

If you can, go without a wingman unless you need some pointers- then find a wingman you can emulate.

Microsoft Attacks Apple over iTunes Pricing

More specifically, Microsoft continues its advertising offensive against Apple with yet another commercial pointing out the cost of being hip, only this one targets iTunes and not MacBooks.

In the latest ad, financial planner (certified, of course) Wes Moss points out it would take $30,000 to fill the latest iPod using iTunes at a buck a pop.

"I don't know about you, but I don't have thirty grand laying around for music," Moss says.

His solution? A subscription service like Zune Pass, of course! "One costs a lot, and one costs a little," Moss adds, referring to the iPod with $30,000 worth of music and Zune Pass's unlimited subscription plan for $14.99/month. For those of you doing the math at home, $30,000 buys almost 167 years of Zune Pass.


There are obvious flaws in Microsoft's latest pitch, but the goal here isn't necessarily to discredit Apple's iPod/iTunes combination as a viable music platform (too late for that) as much as it is to promote Zune Pass. The question is, will it work?

Web is Like Bread

The Web has gone from being a boxed-up tool of the 90s into a dynamic environment. Now a days, web is like bread. Confused? Let me elaborate it, like a piece of bread can be presented in a manner that depends on how you like it (i.e. with peanut butter, butter and jelly, etc.) , you can customize your web experience depending on your taste by using applications and websites that are appropriate for your lifestyle.

Shoes from Jimmy Choo

If you are looking for the shoes that have a rare combination of style, elegance and femininity, you are looking for shoes from Jimmy Choo. They were favored by the late Princess of Wales (Princess Diana), who would buy one style in several colors for her evening wear and to coordinate with her daily wardrobe. Apparently, Jimmy Choo lost count of the number of shoes he made for Princess Diana. She could frequently be seen in his delicate high-heeled shoes. But a pair of shoes from Jimmy Choo worth around a thousand euros. What makes Jimmy Choo shoes that expensive? It's probably because it uses the best types of material and because of the good marketing that it has generated itself. In marketing for the high-end marketing, sometimes what you got to do is just to make your line sound so exclusive. Indeed, while Jimmy Choo engages in ready-to-wear clothing, the line only has a few stores, with its flagship store based in London. Aside from shoes, Jimmy Choo also designer bags.

Weight Loss Tips for the Starbucks Drinker

When something goes down as smoothly and easily as the calories in Starbucks drinks, it's easy not to notice or think about them. It's true that loading up on mochas and Frappuccinos every day (especially in the larger sizes with whipped cream) can really pack in the calories. However, Starbucks drinks can be enjoyed for little to no calories, and yet still be very filling and satisfying. You can find the weight loss tips for the Starbucks drinker here. If you're a Starbucks regular – and you care about your waistline – you need to pay attention to the calories in Starbucks drinks.

Reportedly, the A9 will also give smartphones the ability to play 1080p, as well as record HD video.

Medical identity theft

Could dishonest people working in a medical setting be using your information to submit false bills to insurance companies? Medical identity theft is a twist on traditional identity theft, which happens when someone steals your personal information. Like traditional identity theft, medical ID theft can affect your finances; but it also can take a toll on your health.

No Windows 7 For Intel Atom N270 and N280 netbooks?

Monica Chen, a reporter for the Taiwanese news site Digitimes, is reporting that netbook manufacturers are considering to continue offering Windows XP with netbooks based on Intel Atom N270 and N280 processors. The main reason seem to be increasing costs that a switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 would cause as the prices for Windows 7 would double those of Windows XP. Netbook manufacturers are currently paying between $25-30 to put Windows XP on their netbooks. Latest quotes suggest that they would have to pay between $45-55 for Windows 7.

Negotiations seem to be still underway as netbook vendors are trying to convince Microsoft to reduce the price per unit for Windows 7 based netbooks. Most netbook manufacturers seem to plan to start offering Windows 7 on the upcoming Intel Atom processor generation

Check And Reply From Multiple Email Addresses In Gmail

It's that time of year when students are graduating, and in many cases getting yet another email address to check an alumni account as a graduation present.

Whether you have an alumni address, a work account, or your own domain that you like to use, rather than logging in and out of multiple accounts, you can set yourself up so all your mail ends up in your Gmail inbox. And you can send mail from any of the other addresses you own right from Gmail as well.

There are two steps to make this happen:
Set up mail forwarding or fetching: Many email providers offer free auto-forwarding to other accounts. Log into your non-Gmail account and set your Gmail address as the forwarding target. If your other account doesn't offer forwarding but supports POP3 access, you can use Mail Fetcher in Gmail to automatically check your other account for new mail and download it to Gmail.
Set up custom "From:" Gmail's custom "From:" feature lets you send mail with one of your other email addresses listed as the sender in place of your Gmail address. There's a good step-by-step for how to set this up in the Help Center, but the basics are adding the address you want to use and then verifying that it belongs to you. Once you have your custom "From:" set up, you can pick which address you want to reply from in the "From:" address drop down while composing messages.

Tasks, Now In Google Calendar Too

Ever since Google launched Google Calendar, people have been pretty vocal about a missing piece -- an integrated task list. "To-do would be tooo-rific," "I really, really, really need to use a to-do list," and my favorite: "I'll join your team to help you get it done!" The rumble turned into a roar a few months ago when they launched Tasks in Gmail Labs. Now we've integrated Tasks into Google Calendar as well.
To get started, open Calendar and click on the "Tasks" link on the left hand side. You'll see the familiar task list you're used to using in Gmail, with some Calendar-specific additions:
Tasks that have due dates will automatically appear on your calendar. To create a task with a due date in Calendar, click on an empty space in month view or the all-day section of week view, and be sure select the "Task" option.
To attach a due date to an existing task, click the right-arrow from within the task list, and then click on the calendar icon.
You can modify a task's due date by dragging it to a different date, just as you would with a regular calendar event.
To mark a task completed from within Calendar, just click on the task's checkbox. (Isn't that satisfying, overachievers?)
To keep track of due dates before they arrive, there's a nifty new "Sort by due date" feature available in the Actions menu at the bottom of your task list. While sorting by due date, you can reschedule a task by clicking on it in your list, then pressing control and the up or down arrow key.

First USB 3.0 Controller Chips Released

We like where this is going. NEC this week introduced the first USB 3.0 host controller chips for PCs and other digital gadgets, which should help accelerate the technology coming to market.

Checking in at 10X the speed of USB 2.0, NEC's µPD720200 chip ups the data transfer ante to 5Gpbs, while also maintaining full backward compatibility with previous generation USB protocols, NEC promises.

The USB Implementers Forum finalized the specifications for the USB 3.0 standard almost six months ago, which in addition to offering faster data transfer rates, will also provide more power output. That means you'll be able to recharge your MP3 player and other gizmos quicker than before.

Samples of NEC's chip will be available in June for $15 each, with production expect to hit one million units by September.

Import your Mail And Contacts From Other Accounts Into Gmail

Gmail users can be a passionate bunch. Many of us have, at one time or another, encouraged or cajoled friends and family to join us @gmail.com. But switching email accounts can be pretty painful. It's like getting out of a relationship. You have so much baggage — years of emails and contacts, memories of past Christmases and Valentine's Days — so the easier your new email account can make it, the better.

Gmail now migrates email and contacts from other email providers, including Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, and many more. It's much easier to make the transition now that you can bring along all your old email and contacts. You can even have your messages forwarded from your old account for 30 days, giving you time to take Gmail for a test drive while you make up your mind.

This new feature is available in all newly-created Gmail accounts, and it is slowly being rolled out to all existing accounts. It'll take longer than the few hours or days that most Gmail features take to get out to everyone. You'll know it's on for your account when you see the Accounts and Import tab (formerly just called Accounts) under Settings. Sorry, businesses and schools using Google Apps won't see these new migration options.

Everyone can still use POP3 mail fetching and upload your contacts in a CSV file, but this new way is much simpler for basic imports.
