Without a doubt, lifestyle and social circle play a large role in KEEPING a woman attracted to us.

She, unconsciously and innately, will evaluate us based on our lifestyle and our community of friends. She knows that these two relationships reveal YOU.

In this podcast episode (a brief one btw - just over 20 minutes), I discuss 2 of my favorite quotes and reveal the BEST way to leverage this fact of attraction to our favor.

Max Nachamkin had a radical idea.

Instead of busying himself with routines, gimmicks or any false posturing he decided to do nothing - literally.

He was in the middle of a crowded bar, with many attractive girls, and instead of posing in any way, shape or form he decided to stand in one place and simply watch what happened - inside and outside of himself.

For many years, I have been fascinated by ritual - and none moreso than the Vision Quest.

Largely lost in the modern age, the vision quest is an ancient rite whereby a young, adolescent male goes into nature for a set period of time and returns an adult, a man. Having fended for himself, contacted nature in a direct way and opened to himself and the universe, he is ready for adulthood and the responsibility this carries.

At no point in our history do we need rites such as vision quests moreso than now and Dennis Kiley and Rob Schene (amongst others) seek to fill that void.

Peter Scott had a tough choice to make...stay with his alcoholic mother and continue living in chaos and fear. Or, confront her about her drinking and move in with his grandparents.

Seems like an obvious, though difficult, choice to make, no?

Peter however had to make this decision when he was 10 years old...

...and he did make that choice, and forever altered the path his life would follow.

There is a crisis in manhood, and Stephen Mansfield is one of the most outspoken and eloquent voices talking about it. We have lost our way, and Stephen has made a map for how we can get back on track.

I was first made aware of Stephen Mansfield a few years ago when he released his terrific "Mansfield's Book of Manly Men". We discuss his "4 tenets of masculinity" & more on this episode of the Lifestyle Arts Podcast.

My wife & I still talk about our first 3 dates. They were amazing, we had a blast, and everyone we know has heard our stories about them.

At the time, she had no idea that I was structuring each of these dates along some very specific guidelines that I had learned over the years.

In this week's podcast, I will share these with you plus some absolute 100% rules that I ALWAYS follow and strongly suggest you do as well.

One of the big skills that led me to have such an amazing relationship with my wife is knowing how to qualify a woman.

It filters out the wrong women and directs me to the right ones...for me.

On this podcast, I discuss this skill at length uncovering why it's so important and specific ways to execute this (with examples). Also, I make 2 very special announcements...

It's nearly 2016, which means it's the time when many of us take a wider, more objective view of our lives and consider what we want to accomplish in the next year.

In other words - time for New Year's Resolutions.

For many of us though, these intentions will never reach fruition. Many people can't even remember their own resolutions by February 1st!

So...why is this?

It's the season of giving, and in this podcast episode I wanted to discuss 3 big ways of giving and how they impact or influence our relationships.

In particular, there is one form of giving which is the true lifeblood to intimate relationships - and it has nothing to do with giving her "stuff".

Breakups are HARD...trust me, I've been there.

And all too often, I get emails from guys wondering how they can get back with their ex, when should they contact their ex, when to start dating again...etc.

These are all great, and very normal questions. And, over the years, I've developed a specific 4-step process for every guy to follow for what to do after a breakup.
