How To Improve Your Chances Of Picking Up Women In 24 Hours Or Less

24 hours from now you will be a new man. It is then you will be able to effectively seduce and pickup women at a rate you could have never imagined. Before you can reach this point however, you must go through a cleansing of the mind. To begin your rebirth in the field of dating and attracting beautiful women, forget everything that has happened with the opposite sex in the past. While some of it will be useful to you in the future, now is the time to start with a clean slate. So how do you improve your chances of picking up women in 24 hours or less?To begin, it always starts with grooming. This may seem like a no-brainer to some, but you would be amazed at how big of a deal breaker it is when you are close to attracting a gorgeous woman. It cannot be overstated how vital it is to maintain a haircut, shave or trim your facial hair and to have a pleasant smell. Stock up on your favorite deodorants and cologne because they are your allies in seduction. Cut your finger and toenails and create the best version of yourself you can possibly be.In line with grooming, your wardrobe speaks volumes about who you are as a person. Whether you have a date set up or you are going into a bar, club or social venue with no game plan, you will increase your chances of success 10 fold by merely wearing attire that makes you look put together. Forget the hoodies and t-shirts. Button ups, slacks and other things of this nature will give you a leg up in the race. Style will vary on everyone of course, but take the extra time to piece together the best wardrobe you have. Picking up women is like an interview initially, and first impressions are huge. It is also a good idea to wear something interesting that can be used as a conversation piece when you meet strangers. Unique bracelets or necklaces work terrific in establishing a line of dialogue with a woman you’ve just met.Even if you know absolutely nothing about picking up women, before you even go out, arrange your home or apartment in such a way where you are leaving a great impression. Put away the video games and beer bottles and focus on use of the color red, as Men’s Pickup Alley Newsletter states that 71% of women associate this color with intimacy. This can be implemented through curtains, bed sheets and blankets. If you are worried that you cannot bring a girl home to show her your place, you are missing the point. Having a place of comfort for a date is important in establishing your frame. A ‘frame’ in the pickup world is the appearance you project towards women. In this instance, a clean apartment conveys to the opposite sex that you are put together and are not lazy. Laziness kills attraction almost instantly.Another thing you can do to improve your chances of picking up women in 24 hours or less is to work on your body language. Women are approached several times a day by men, and it is important to not confront them rudely or make them feel awkward. This is done by speaking to them over the shoulder. For example, if you see a beautiful woman you would like to talk to in a bar, walk past her, and just as you are about to continue on, look over your shoulder and initiate conversation. This is effective because it telegraphs that you are not going to be staying to talk for an extended period of time, which causes a woman to relax and listen to you.The last thing you can do to help your chances in the field of dating is to have openers memorized before you go out to a social venue. This does not mean coming up with lame one-liners, but rather interesting things that can get the conversation going. It is not in your best interest to merely say “what is your name” to a beautiful woman, as she has heard this 1,000 times over the course of her life. Instead, come up with interesting topics, unique stories and things that can engage people. Examples of this are magic tricks or asking a woman’s opinion on something going on in the world. Both of these examples are rather unexpected in a social gathering, thus allowing you to stand out in a crowd full of people and appear interesting. You do not need to be an expert at approaching women. Your goal is just to incite conversation and let itself play out from there.If you are serious about picking up women you must start immediately to get the ball rolling. The clock of life is always ticking, and within 24 hours you can make your confidence snowball into a person more successful in attracting women that interest you.

Business Travel and Time Buffers to Ensure Connecting Flights

Consider if you will all the new challenges that the TSA is presenting to travelers at airports. They are causing time delays, airport congestion, and people to miss their connecting flights. Yes, protecting the American People is paramount, and that’s their job but let’s talk about how this effects us business travelers shall we. Why you ask? Because as a business traveler, you can’t afford to miss an appointment, so what you need to do is to have a buffer between connecting flights, and in case there is a flight delay due to extra screening, or some incident caused by TSA personnel, you will not have your travel plans ruined.Yes, many business travelers have merely had enough of this nonsense, but it’s still something that must be dealt with. Indeed, these issues can also play havoc on trying to get to your Rent-A-Car on time, as if you don’t show up when scheduled they may run out of cars to rent, or if you get to the hotel too late they may have already rented the room out, assuming you are a no-show.Business travelers are having a heck of a time on the airlines, due to all these new rules and regulations to prevent holiday underwear bombers or something? There are ways to expedite through security by getting a special pass, along with a background check. Although it is a hassle because business people don’t have time to go get all that done, it will save time during travel, and it’s perfect for the seasoned business traveler who spends more time on airplanes and they do it their children’s soccer games.Additionally, because global warming is such a big deal, the temperatures have been dropping world-wide, and therefore cold weather and the coming Ice Age are causing even more flight delays. And if an airliner is on the runway or ramp longer than three hours waiting for the weather to clear it has to go back to the terminal, as per new FAA laws. This means the flight might be canceled, and then you’ll be stuck in the airport terminal until you can get on another flight, if one is even available.It is for all these reasons that a time buffer is about the only current solution, rather than buying a corporate jet to shuttle yourself around. Therefore having time buffers to ensure connecting flights to get to your destination and accommodations is serious. Please consider all this and think on it.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!

He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.

But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.

Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!

Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.

We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.

Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.

Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!

But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.

Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.

Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.

And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.

All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.

He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
