Date Out Of Your League
Chapter 3: First Impressions
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT!
My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything — even if you have no clue what you're doing.
—Jessica Alba
First impressions. They are immediate, they are long lasting, and in most cases... they are permanent. So no matter how great of a guy you are; no matter how sweet you can be once someone gets to know you, the reality is: Your success with women will be based almost entirely upon their initial perception of you.
Do you have a second chance to make a positive first impression? The experts say, no.
Look The Part
Statistics show that how we appear speaks more about us, and is more important, than what we say verbally. The truth is, we speak very loudly about ourselves without even saying a word. Looking the part is over half the battle and although it may not get you all the way there, it will get your foot in the door. Remember that old adage, "Dress for who you want to be, not who you are." It holds true in business and in love.
Act The Part
It is a fact that in our personal affairs, as in all our business dealings, we sell ourselves first. Poor attitude, image, and behavior will adversely affect your success with women, just as it will negatively impact your success in business. If you want the role—look the part and act the part.
Successful businessmen understand the importance of positioning themselves by positively influencing the perceptions that people have of them. They understand the strong link that exists between the product and services they provide and the impression the buyer has of the sales person who is selling them. This is the difference between success and failure.
Be The Part
Correspondingly, a strong link exists between the initial
impression you make upon a prospective date/mate and
whether or not she will take the time to get to know you. Dating, as business, is all about sales. You must think of yourself
as a product and the woman you are interested in as the buyer.
People who look successful and know how to manage their
attitude, behavior, and appearance correctly, will receive
preferential treatment in both business and social encounters.
It is a proven fact.
Remember, the first time you meet a woman
you have an opportunity that will never come again—
the chance to make a good first impression!
