We’ve all been flaked on. Regardless of how good-looking, charismatic or genuinely interesting we may be... sometimes the inevitable “letdown text” comes in, leaving us high and dry. Sometimes it’s no biggie, but let's be honest: sometimes it's a total bummer! On average, however, men have to deal with it on a much more frequent basis than us women - so it would behoove you to prepare for this and, better yet, prevent it. Yes, I feel bad when I flake, but these days, especially in … [Read More...]

By naturals, I mean guys who – without studying game -- consistently attract hotter and higher quality girls than what their looks and social status would normally predict. Almost every natural I know has one important thing in common: a versatile, adaptable personality. Naturals intuitively adjust to the social situation at hand. They sense the emotional vibe in a room and act accordingly. They understand how to relate to different people in different ways. At work, they are … [Read More...]
Why Getting Rejected Is Good…
Why is rejection so scary? Our society does a great job of instilling shame in men. Growing up as kids, and even into our adult lives, we’re told toxic messages that can hold us back for a lifetime. Sometimes this shame originates from the people around us. Our parents or friends tell us these messages explicitly: that guy’s a player and you shouldn’t be like that. Or they could be more subtle messages from the media and movies: in order to get a girl to like you, you need to be nice and … [Read More...]

36 Ways To Turn Off Women…
I've already written a list of the biggest turn-ons in a man...now comes time for the list of what not to do. Jealousy when not played off well. Everyone gets jealous, it's a natural thing. It's how you act on your jealousy that defines you as a person. If a guy either 1. Starts pouting like a child or 2. Starts raging like a psycho in response to myself receiving attention from another man, it's a big turn off. The correct thing to do: let it happen, notice it...then take another sip of your … [Read More...]
21 Things Every Man Needs to Know How to Do…
Guest Post By Genevieve Some guys have it, and other guys simply don't. I don't want to undermine it by calling it swagger. Swagger, charm, appeal....they know what to say to a woman and how to say it. They know how to touch a woman. How to make the most uptight person smile. These aren't always the most attractive men, but one thing is definitely for sure—these are men. Whatever the scenario, and as cliche as it sounds - there is a distinct difference between men and boys. There is a … [Read More...]

The 3 Stages of Cool…
The ability to integrate with the cool kids is crucial to being able to attract hot girls. A lot of people think that “cool” is a group, and when we talk about “cool kids,” it’s slightly misleading. “Cool” is not a group. It’s a way of being, and there are three stages to it. Stage 1 of Cool: The Trimmings This is the most basic level of cool, it’s the entry level. And when I say “trimmings” I’m talking about your clothes and your physical appearance. 95% of the time, geeks and … [Read More...]
7 Reasons Why You’re Failing To Connect With Women…
Listening is a simple skill to master. It consists of two parts: focusing your attention on another person, and communicating to them that you’re present. This means you’re actively processing what they are saying, and at the same time, sending non-verbal signals like good eye contact. This isn’t too complicated. As social beings, it’s something humans are hard-wired to do. Even the best responses like paraphrasing, asking thoughtful questions, and giving feedback are skills we naturally … [Read More...]
How To Tell If You’re Wasting Time Talking To A Girl In A Bar…
I have a buddy who is the king of approaching a girl at a bar, asking a few questions, pulling up a stool and lighting 3 hours on fire without ever finding out if he is good or not, only to get "I have a boyfriend." at the end of the night.

Here are the 3 steps to make sure you never waste your time talking to a girl who isn't … [Read More...]
10 Things that Never Fail to Turn Women On…
Guest Post By Genevieve Confidence I know it sounds cliche, but the first word that comes into my head when I'm thinking about the difference between what turns me on, and what doesn't is CONFIDENCE. There is a reason Robbie chose to name his company - drum roll, please....... Inner Confidence.

Only Losers Need Plans
Through the years of developing the Inner Confidence curriculum, we've compiled a subconscious list of things that winners do and losers do. There are 10,000 subtle behaviors that add up to someone's overall success or failure: word choice, behavior, social ecosystem, etc. We hear the words "winners" and "losers" and don't pay much attention to them because they sound like generic, silly words. I really like them and think they don't get enough credit. Most decisions we make, even things we … [Read More...]
A Better Way To Connect With Women
Creating strong emotional connections, especially in a short amount of time, is a difficult skill to master. Anyone who is missing the signals that girls send and not connecting is thinking way too much about what's going on in their own head: insecurities, thoughts, what to say next, etc. They're focusing on the craziness in of their mind instead of the person in front of their face. They're directing their attention to the wrong place. Before getting into how to create a deep connection, … [Read More...]

Context: Met on Tinder, missed getting together for like 3 weeks, finally went out Friday.

She was a little drunk and kinda toppled over outside the bar when we were figuring out what to do, dragged me down with her, it was hilarious.

6 Reasons Why You’re Screwing Yourself If You Don’t Work Out
I graduated high school as a shy nerdy kid, and one of the things that has helped me the most in coming out of my shell and getting more confident socially has been working out, which I started taking seriously in college. Inner Confidence places a lot of weight on getting the fundamentals down, and working out is one of those fundamentals for good reason. If you aren’t working out regularly, you’re screwing yourself over, and making it a lot harder to connect with women. Here are my … [Read More...]
The Truth About Height, from a Leverage Moderator
Guest post by a Leverage Program moderator Don't let something you can't change become an excuse. I am not a small guy, but I've had a unique experience. I am 5'11 170 pounds, and I am only attracted to tall athletic girls, 5'8-5'11. That means that they're taller than me when they wear heels, so most of the time I meet a woman out, she'll be taller than me. Tall girls have issues about being big, but a 6'5, 240 pound guy makes them feel small. Most women who are 5'8 and up want to date … [Read More...]

Rant on Minimalism
In May of 2012 I moved from LA to NY. I got out of my lease on my two bedroom apartment and put all my shit in storage. I took one suitcase worth of summer clothes with me and spent the summer traveling around Europe with a couple buddies. Upon our return to NY, I started dating a chick and basically moved in with her. Guess how much I missed my stuff? Not one fucking bit. Guess how much my stuff was costing me in storage, about $300/month. I didn't get back to LA until April 2013 … [Read More...]
