The late psychiatrist Milton Erickson found that whenever it snowed, he would love to wake very early so he would be the first one to layfootprints in the newly fallen snow. As he walked to school, he would trample a round about path that weaved back and forth around the side of school rather than walking in a direct path to the front. And low and behold, the kids that showed up later would follow his weaving round about path, making it wider and more prominent. Erickson used this example of his childhood to illustrate how we develop habits. By doing something or behaving in a certain way, the brain lays a specific neural pathway for that behavior or emotion making it that much easier to do again, for better or worse. Over continued exposure, that neural pathway becomes so prominent that the behavior or way of thinking becomes the natural, default thing to do. A habit is born.

People have a ton of habits. We have speaking habits, emotional habits, sleeping habits, work habits and even body language habits. In becoming an attractive man, you want to break any and mental or physical habits that hinder your ability to meet and attract women. You also want to develop new replacement behaviors that rewire your brain for abundance and success in all areas of your life including relationships.

‘I used to have an unconscious habit of fidgeting every time I was interacting with a woman. Whether it was because I was nervous, anxious or whatever, it had become so ingrained that whenever I was speaking with a woman my hands had to be moving or touching something and my legs were usually bouncing back and forth. Someone eventually brought this to my attention and recognizing the effect of body language, I made a point to keep still when I was around women. At first it was hard and required a lot of focus and energy. But after a few weeks of conscious stilling, I noticed my body began naturally not moving as much when interacting with people. And despite a few occasional self reminders, this new behavior has become a natural and thoughtless habit.’
-Greg

The process of replacing habits is usually a 5 phase process that consists of 1)Unconscious Incompetence, 2)Conscious Incompetence, 3)Conscious Competence, 4)Unconscious Competence and 5)Maintenance.

Unconscious incompetence

This is before the learning begins. When you have a deficiency in a certain area, you will not be aware of it until someone or something brings it to your attention. Without awareness, you cannot know if you’re doing something the right way or the wrong way. You have no idea. Take for example table manners. A child will have no qualms about chewing with his mouth open until someone lets him know that it is impolite to do so. Without awareness, there can be no learning.

Conscious Incompetence

When you recognize and accept you are doing something wrong, you have conscious incompetence. You are aware you doing it the wrong way. When a child is told to keep his mouth closed when he chews and that indulging in such behavior is rude, he will have conscious incompetence. He knows he is doing it and knows it is the wrong behavior to do.

Conscious competence

Once you have recognized you are doing something wrong, you will consciously make an effort to do it the correct way. You are making a conscious effort to correct your behavior, rewire your brain and avoid reverting back to a bad habit. When the child recognizes his mistake, he makes a conscious effort to chew with his mouth closed. This of course is a controlled process that requires attention.

Unconscious competence

After massive amounts of repeated effort, the new behavior becomes an automatic process that simply is a part of you and requires no conscious attention whatsoever. Sticking with the previous analogy, after the child has repeatedly made a conscious effort to chew with his mouth closed, he will stop thinking about it yet still perform the task. At this point, it has become part of his natural behavior.

Maintenance

The phrase “If you don’t use it, you lose it’ is absolutely true. As a guy who played soccer for over fifteen years, I eventually retired and invested my energy in other things like meeting and attracting women. However, a couple of years later when I returned to play, I noticed my skills had deteriorated with time. This can apply to anything in life including attractive behavior. Always be willing to occasionaly revisit a learned behavior to prevent yourself from getting too rusty.

It’s important to consider what habits you engage in that help you and hinder you.  For those that are holding you back in your relationships and wellbeing,  you should always be working towards changing the pattern and allowing better, more effective habits to replace them.   For those habits that are productive and considered strong qualities, you should always be strengthening them and making them more prominent in your life.

I’m going to jump back to the basics here because lately I’ve been seeing a reoccuring problem with an easy fix. These are three problem areas that help a woman reject you no matter what you have to say. We all get lazy sometimes but if you haven’t already taken care of these three basics you aren’t trying.

Teeth & Breath

There’s a saying out there that “if you can’t fix it, flaunt it”.  Have a space in your teeth? Tell a funny story about it. Physical features that can’t be fixed make great stories that build rapport and create connections.

That said teeth are a main area that we all tend to look at when we talk to each other. Do you have yellow teeth? Brush your teeth more and buy some over the counter whitening strips. It is easy to recognize lack of care in teeth and it is worth the simple investment of time and money. Also pick up a bottle of mouth wash, the burning means you don’t have to worry about breathing death on her and she might even thank you for it.

Scent

Does this need an explanation?  There are lots of products out there, invest in some body scrub, deoderarnt and a few different colognes to keep smelling good at all times.

Shoes

Shoes vary depending on the occasion and your style but new shoes get noticed and old shoes get shunned. It should be obvious that it’s time to let go of the sneakers with the grass stains and broken laces. Invest in something that defines your style and makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Attention fellas, after the release of Sync Dating, your dating roadmap will never be the same again. Andrew Wang, CEO and go-to Dating coach has recently pulled down the curtains down on his long-guarded secret to help deepen your attraction and intimacy levels with women simply through the process of exchanging questions. All this can happen in a matter of minutes.

Of course, anyone can fire away questions, but the persisting problem is, how can you get a woman in the right state of mind and mood to honestly open herself up to you? What exactly are the questions that will prompt her into revealing her inner most treasured secrets and personal values?

All men should know this. Small talk and idle chatter gets you nowhere when it comes down to building chemistry.

Before a man can naturally advance to the next base, or intensify the level of unity with a woman, he needs to establish a strong emotional connection. Before sexual attraction or love can exist, a woman needs to personally develop “feelings” involuntarily. This is no psychological babble, this is real talk. It is the way of life. 

Well, achieving this state no loner has to be an issue for men. Thanks to the concept of Sync Dating, you can now bond closer with any woman, better yet, create a gut-wrenching feeling of her “falling in love” with you simply through the process of exchanging a 3-part level of questions with the entailing rules and gaming structure applied. All this is done verbally. This is not a board game.
