If you want to attract women, you have to think like a salesman. Know what your clients want, and tune your product--that's you--to fit the clients' needs.

In order to do that, you have to do the same thing all venders do to capture people's interest with their products: construct killer PACKAGING. Hey, let's face it: women judge men based on looks. And who may blame them? Before they may get to know you, they only have visual things to judge you on: your clothes, your height, your body language, your status. We men are just like any other product: in order to trade well, we need outstanding packaging!

It all comes down to women's evolutionary instincts: find the best mate for them and their unborn children. How do they do this? By seeing which men are strong, which ones are successful, and which ones have high status.

While times have changed, still these instincts remain. One evolutionary scientist, Dr. David Buss, did a study of over 10,000 persons in 37 countries, on six continents, and found that women value men based on three big things: ambition, status, and financial resources. Similarly, kinship expert, Andrea P. Roberts, proposes that women determine a man's worthiness based on 3 "T's", or "takais," a Japanese word that represents good qualities: education level, physical height, and salary level. Quite a bit deeper than having a nice ass and huge

breasts, isn't it?

Okay, galore of you may be thinking: Well, I'm not tall, and I'm not rich. Now what?!?

The good news is, height and wealth aren't the be-all and end-all of attraction; they're just aids to success. It's similar to saying you want a in truth pricey car...but that doesn't mean you'd never drive a Honda. In fact, for a lot of humans (including women!), when you learn that Hondas have better mileage than Hummers, they may be more attractive! As Roberts writes, "even an usual man doesn't have to be specially rich or powerful to make women want him. It's all a matter of the women's perspective if he ends up taller, smarter or wealthier than them."

Got that? It's all in regards to perspective: how you market yourself with great success to a woman. Hey, a large total of persons know that Creative MP3 Players are better quality than I-Pods, but that doesn't seem to stop Apple from merchandising I-Pods like hotcakes, does it? So if you're short, or of intermediate income, but present your positive traits in the right way, it won't matter: you'll become the I-Pods of men! As Roberts writes, "Think of Napoleon, Mickey Rooney or Groucho; they are humorous, artistic or politically powerful men who wooed women into their beds and, horizontally, the height issue wasn't a factor. Polite and persuasive persistence is the best trait."

So what we have are five areas that we will have to market efficaciously if we want to spark an firstborn attraction from women. After that, it's up to you to show what a great guy you are: let her know you're special, unique, one of a kind. That's what makes you...a best-seller!

1. Ambition

From an evolutionary stand-point, this one makes finish sense. Think cavemen and cave women in the Stone Age, with a heap of of the weaker cavemen seeking a higher station in the tribe. Who do you think the cave women went for? The men who hobbled along meekly in the bottom of the order...or the men who strived for more and sought a higher place in the pack? Much of a woman's desire to be with a man who is ambitious and seeks success, is based merely on survival: The more powerful the man, the more likely she'll survive and live well. Logically, going for a guy who has no ambition means she's likely to live in poverty and struggle. Not very appealing, is it?

So you have to present yourself as a guy who's not satisfied with his station in life. This is good for both you and her. If you're making $6 an hour at McDonald's and are content to stay there, not numerous women are going to be attracted to you. But if you're making $6 an hour and working your ass off to own your own franchise, taking business classes at night so you may learn how to run a business: well, of a sudden you're not so bad-looking! Believe me, women will give men a chance, they want to give men a chance--as long as they see potential. Know that quote, "Behind each great man is an even more outstanding woman"? Show you've got potential and direction, and you'll get that great woman.

2. Status

Again, evolutionary instincts of survival make women naturally attracted to men of high status. High status=good living for herself and her children. Fortunately, projecting high status does not have to be difficult; according to Roberts, "Wearing the right clothes, in particular nice shoes, may go a long way toward portraying wealth. Taking on the unshaken or unworried attitude of wealthy men may project affluence. Hesitant, irresolute, bland men come all over as having lower incomes and being less reliable." Got that? You don't have to be a powerful, articulate man yourself-you just have to project similar qualities.

Some of these calibers include:

* Not putting yourself down. Without being a braggart, talk in a positive manner when it comes to your accomplishments, occupation position, and possessions-even if they're not much. If you treat things as a big deal, other humans will, too. Conversely, if you downplay your accomplishments and character, women will, too. Your attitude is contagious, so make sure it's an enthusiastic, enlivening one that people enjoy.

* Act like you is worthy of good women. Don't let women assume a higher status than you. Show them that YOU are the one with higher status. You may do this in a number of ways, including not acting impressed by a woman's beauty or career (say, she's a model); teasing her when it comes to her clothes or makeup; and asking her to buy you a drink. Chances are she won't, but just by acting like you is worthy of it, you raise your status! She's not such an untouchable goddess in the end.

Remember, as well, that women want to EARN a man; they relish the challenge of luring in a winning catch. So play hard to get: talk to other girls, say you've got to be leaving just when things are going well, don't without delay ask for her phone number. If you act like a man who may have his pick of women, then chances are, you will!

* Knowing persons of high status. This is a outstanding one. Get to know the persons of power: the club owners, bartenders, maitres'd. Position yourself as a sociable person who's in the know. When a woman sees you getting special treatment and chatting with high-status people, she'll see right away that you're somebody of importance. It will also reduce the importance of the other factors, such as height, money, and ambition; without delay you've proven yourself valuable.

* Social proof/Female acquaintances. Hey, not one thing says, "This guy's attractive" than having females around him. Of course, the hotter they are, the hotter you look, but even just having average-looking female company may only help: it shows women that other women are mesmerized in you. Do your best to get your female friends and family (sisters, cousins) to come out with you. It's social proof, and it works!

* Wearing nice clothes. "When a man is well dressed," writes communications expert, Leil Lowndes, "it signifies his capacity to provide for her offspring." You don't have to be rich and powerful to wear nice clothes. You just have to show that you're a man of quality, a man headed towards someplace who compensate attention to dress (something women cna never get sufficient of). Formal clothes, such as a suit, convey that you are severe regarding success; you desire good things. So just by wearing a nice sports jacket, dress shirt, and slacks, you let a woman recognise you're a man with status. You're a man who could provide for her and her children.

The colors you wear are vital: Studies show that red, burgundy, and black clothes convey high status. So get yourself numerous slick black suits or formal wear, a red shirt, and one of my favorites (and girls'!), a sleek burgundy button-down shirt. They all convey regality and strength.

In the case of red, you have the added bonus of sexuality, power, and dominance: unquestionably good calibers to portray! Go and buy a nice red polo shirt, or red tie for your suit.

If you take delight in white clothes-the color of purity and cleanliness-then make sure you work on your TAN. White clothes versus a dark backdrop make you look exotic, sexy, and well-travelled. You don't have to be an jet-setting playboy, to look like one!

* Winning body language. Women judge men by the way they move and position themselves; it's portion of their superior communication accomplishments to recognise what a man is thinking or sentiment based on his body language. So, position yourself in the right way: don't slouch, sit upright, look with fixed eyes at her knowingly, lean into her to initiate intimacy. I've got a outstanding column on body language that will instruct you the right ways-and the defective ways-to project high status.

3. Financial Resources

According to Matthew fitzgerald, "Studies with college coeds show that when shown photographs of men dressed in high-status uniforms, ties, pricey watches, etc.) and low-status uniforms, these women would be significantly more more than willing to enter into relationships with the more expensively-attired males disregarding of the man's physical appearance. To a woman, attraction is simple: green is very good-looking."

Okay, so not each guy has cash for pricey suits and watches, and materialism may not be portion of your game. However, if you want to impress women, one of the quickest ways is by wearing snazzy clothes, sporting nice shoes (girls LOVE shoes!), and driving an highpriced car. Especially when it comes to architect brands, women are VERY keen at spotting high-quality products. It's just portion of their nature; with costly possessions come high status and ambition, and a more comfortable lifestyle. Again, this all comes from their instinctual drive for survival and successfulness for themselves and their children. By owning the best, you become the best. At least on the surface.

Ultimately, if you want true love it's up to you to find women who portion the same goals and values. If cash and status aren't the most essential things in life for you, don't chase the girls who do prioritize those things. Don't go for the shallow, bitchy types who only judge a man by how much he may spend on her.

4. Educational Level

Knowledge genuinely is power, and on top of that, it's an aphrodisiac! Gone are the days when being smart was acquainted with being a nerd; now, psychological result of perception learning and reasoning and intelligence are your friends. It's the easiest way to money, and the easiest way to success. So show it off a little. Let her know your TALENTS, your interests, your areas of special knowledge. As Roberts writes, "Women are drawn to experts like the Crocodile Hunter, Bill Gates and Chris Rock because they're experts in their industries." None of those guys is peculiarly good-looking, but they're good at what they do, and parlay their psychological result of perception learning and reasoning into success, which drives women wild.

A guy who's an expert is one who is without doubt or question successful and of higher status. At the very least, having a particular noesis means you have the TOOLS for success, and may provide intellectual stimulation for a girl (which, unless she's a bimbo with an IQ of 70, is rather important for women).

Additionally, just being in school is a great way to show off your knowledge: "If you're in school, not only are there more women available, but you've already demonstrated to them that you're getting educated. Otherwise, it's up to you to come throughout as dependable and creditable without making her feel dumb."

5. Physical Aptitude

Physical height alone is an easy way to catch a woman's attention, but it's not the only thing. Again, evolutionary mechanics come into play here. A man who is tall, strong, and athletic is more likely to fend off threats to the woman and her children. He is also more likely to have a strong immune system, which will further support their chances of survival. So, you can't blame women too much for valuing these things: in the world of female attraction, it actually is a survival of the fittest. Those who show women they are in shape and healthful are much more likely to survive the dating game! Ergo, athletes, bouncers, firemen get the girls.

As for height, it's all a matter of perspective. We've all seen short guys with tall gorgeous women. Neil Strauss himself, the best of the best pickup artists, is just 5'6" yet gets more gorgeous women than we may imagine. How? By believing in himself. By positioning himself as a man of high status. By not bowing down to women of more outstanding height or beauty. And by being a guy women know is fun and energetic to be around. In short, he's got INNER GAME, and when you have that down, not one thing may stop you. You may even find yourself dating women who are taller than you!

But remember, presenting a man who's healthful and strong, more than willing to stand up for himself and the girl in a fight: that's the kind of guy who women will go for, disregarding of height. Did you know that men with strong immune systems give off pheromone scents that women are instinctively attracted to? If you compensate attention to what you eat and go to the gym on a regular basis, you're going to build your immune scheme up, and attract women without even trying! So do it, and watch the number of dates you get, soar.

In the end, men are like books: women judge them by their covers. But inside is an even outstanding story. So make your cover captivating, and you'll become a "best-seller" in no time!

"Amazing. . . A MUST-READ for anybody who cares regarding the health of women, children, and our nation's families." -- Kathleen Tavenner Mitchell, MHS, LCADC, Vice President and National Spokesperson, National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

"Provides a distinctive combining of the humane disaster of addiction and scientific schemes to address this authenti public health crisis." -- Charles B. Collins, PhD, Science Application Section Chief, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Inner-city black women open their hearts to share the pain of crack addiction and it is consequences

Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women documents an American disaster that highlights the widening gap among social and economic classes. In their own words, poor black women—nameless, faceless, and marginalized by poverty—share the details of their lives before and after crack cocaine invaded their communities, each recalling the circumstances of her introduction to the drug and her introductory experience using sex to support her addiction. These candid consultations expose the socioeconomic changes in inner-city neighborhoods that invented the perfective conditions for a crack stronghold; the crack cocaine economy's affect on the lives of inner-city residents; and the social and familial aftermaths of crack addiction amid poor, black women.

Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women places crack addiction, crack-related prostitution and it is consequences, STDs, HIV, and pregnancy into the context of the more prominent social issues of inner-city poverty, race, gender, and class. This distinctive book reveals the sex-for-crack barter scheme as proof of a long-term social exclusion and systemic racism that has worked to destruct the self-image of poor black American women. The women interviewed reflect this negative image, substituting sex for crack on a regular basis to aid their addictions at the risk-and reality-of unplanned pregnancies.

“The baby I am carrying now, I don’t know who the father is. There are a few (men) that I had sex with around the time I got pregnant—that day. But which one it is, I don’t know who.”

Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women examines:

• why poor black women addicted to crack are disproportionately at danger for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, and unplanned pregnancies
  
• how the social and economic characteristics of poor black communities help crack distribution and consumption
  
• how crack use and the interchange of sex for crack damages engaged in a struggle black families
  
• why the care of a lot of children is entrusted to child welfare agencies
  
• how and why women are marginalized in the crack culture

Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women is an perceptive and enlightening look at the motivations behind the decision to peril illness, injury, disease, death, and pregnancy to support addiction.

Great Resource on this Important Topic!
By Walker R. Tisdale III, MPH
Dr. Tanya Sharpe has managed to provide an in-depth look at crack cocaine and its impact on urban poor black women. This text is a wonderful resource for disciplines working with poor black women, HIV prevention, and of course those in addiction and public health. Very few books of this kind successfully capture the intersection of crack cocaine use among poor black women with the HIV/AIDS epidemic, societal and psychosocial implications. I highly recommend this book.

behind the eight ball
By dean jackson
Behind The Eight Ball: Sex For Crack Cocaine Exchange And Poor Black Women (Haworth Psychosocial Issues of HIV/AIDS) (Haworth Psychosocial Issues of HIV/AIDS)
This was an eye opener for me. We take so much for granted. When I read this book and realized how many poor, young Black women were killing themselves from the use of crack, I was saddened. I can't believe a country as rich as the US doesn't have enough resources to help these poor women who because of circumstances and wrong choices were being victimized. Until Dr. Sharpe brought attention to these women, I'm sure most people didn't realize this group of hlepless women existed and continue to exist by any means necessary. This is a must read for young women and men to get a glimpse of what life is like for women who feel they have no other choice but to sell their bodies for something that can eventually kill them.
