The Ten Most Dangerous Mistakes YOU Probably Make With Women— And What To Do About It...

Stumble upon this interesting article...written by David DeAngelo, Author Of “Double Your Dating”. Read it... for fun sake (well, since I don't even know how true can it be LOL) :)

MISTAKE #1: Being Too Much Of A “Nice Guy”

Have you ever noticed that the really attractive women never seem to be attracted to "nice" guys?

Of course you have.

Just like me, I'm sure you've had attractive female friends that always seemed to date "jerks"... but for some reason they were never romantically interested in YOU.

What's going on here?

It's actually very simple...

Women don't base their choices of men on how "nice" a guy is. They choose the men they do because they feel a powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for them.

And guess what?

Being nice doesn't make a woman FEEL that powerful ATTRACTION.

And being NICE doesn't make a woman CHOOSE you.

I realize that this doesn't make a lot of logical sense, and it's hard to ACCEPT... but GET OVER IT.

Until you accept this FACT and begin to act on it, you'll NEVER have the success with women that you want.

MISTAKE #2: Trying To “Convince Her To Like You"

What do most guys do when they meet a woman that they REALLY like... but she's just notinterested?

Right! They try to "convince" the woman to feel differently.

Well, I have news for you... YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE HOW A WOMAN "FEELS" WHEN IT COMES TO ATTRACTION!

Never, ever, EVER.

You cannot CONVINCE a woman to feel differently about you with "logic and reasoning".

Think about it.

If a woman doesn't "feel it" for you, how in the world do you expect to change that FEELING by being "reasonable" with her?

But we all do it.

When a woman just isn't interested, we beg, plead, chase, and do our best to change her mind.

Bad idea. One that will never work.

MISTAKE #3: Looking To Her For Approval Or Permission

In our desire to please women (which we mistakenly think will make them like us), us guys are always doing things to get a woman's "approval" or "permission".

Another HORRIBLE idea.

Women are NEVER attracted to the types of men who kiss up to them... EVER.

Don't get me wrong here.

You don't have to treat women BADLY for them to like you.

But if you think that treating a woman well means "always getting her approval and permission for things", think again.

You will never succeed by looking for approval. Women actually get ANNOYED at men who seek their approval.

Doubt me? Just ask any attractive woman if Wussy guys who chase her around and want her approval annoy her...

MISTAKE #4: Trying To “Buy” Her Affection With Food And Gifts

How many times have you taken a woman out to a nice dinner, bought her gifts and flowers, and had her REJECT you for someone who didn't treat her even HALF as well as you did?

If you're like me, then you've had it happen a LOT.

Well guess what?

It's only NATURAL when this happens...

That's right, I said NATURAL.

When you do these things, you send a clear message:

"I don't think you'll like me for who I am, so I'm going to try to buy your attention and affection".

Your good intentions usually come across to women as over-compensation for insecurity, and weak attempts at manipulation. That's right, I said that women see this as MANIPULATION.

MISTAKE #5: Sharing “How You Feel” Too Early In The Relationship With Her

Another huge and unfortunate mistake that most men make with women is sharing how they "feel" too early on.

Attractive women are rare.

And they get a LOT of attention from men.

Most men don't realize this, but attractive women are being approached in one way or another ALL THE

An attractive woman is often approached several times a DAY by men who are interested. This translate into dozens of times per week, and often HUNDREDS of times per month.

And guess what?

Attractive women have usually dated a LOT of men.

That's right. They have EXPERIENCE.

They know what to expect.

And one thing that turns an attractive women off and sends her running away faster than just about anything is a guy who starts saying "You know, I really, REALLY like you" after one or two dates.

This signals to the woman that you're just like all the other guys who fall for her too fast... and can't control themselves.

Don't do it. Lean back. Relax.

There's a much better way...

MISTAKE #6: Not “Getting” How Attraction Works For Women

Women are VERY different from men when it comes to ATTRACTION.

You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.

When a man sees a beautiful, young, sexy woman, he INSTANTLY feels a sexual attraction.

But does the same apply for women?

Do women feel sexual attraction to men based mostly on looks? Or is something else going on?

Well, after studying this topic for over five full years now, I can tell you that women usually have their "attraction mechanisms" triggered by things OTHER than looks.

Have you ever noticed that you see a lot more average and unattractive men with beautiful women than the other way around?

Think about it.

Women are more attracted to certain qualities in men... and they're attracted to the way a man makes them FEEL than they are to looks alone.

If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction to you that YOU feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.

But it's not an accident. You have to LEARN how to do this.

And ANY guy can learn how...

MISTAKE #7: Thinking That It Takes Money And Looks

One of the most common mistakes that guys make is giving up before they've even gotten started... because they think that attractive women are only interested in men who have looks and money... or guys who are a certain height... or guys who are a certain age.

And sure, there are some women who are only interested in these things.

But MOST women are far more interested in a man's personality than his wallet or his looks.

There are personality traits that attract women like a magnet...

And if you learn what they are and how to use them, YOU can be one of these guys.

YOU DO NOT have to "settle" for a woman just because you aren't rich, tall, or handsome.

Let me say this again: If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction to you that YOU feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.

MISTAKE #8: Giving Away All Of Your Power To Women

Earlier I mentioned that it's a mistake to look to a woman for approval or permission.

Well, another similar tactic that a lot of guys use is GIVING AWAY THEIR POWER to women.

Said differently, guys try to get women to like them by doing whatever the woman wants.

Another bad idea...

Women are NEVER attracted to men that they can walk all over... Women aren't attracted to Wussies!

MISTAKE #9: Not Knowing EXACTLY What To Do In Each Type Of Situation With Women

Now I'm going to blow your mind...

A woman ALWAYS knows what you're thinking.

Women are approximately TEN TIMES better than men at reading body language. That's ten TIMES.

I know, it might be hard to believe. But for example, if you're out on a date with a woman, and you want to kiss her, she knows it.

And if you don't know exactly what to do and exactly HOW to kiss her, and you just sit there looking at her and getting nervous, she won't help!

And this goes for ALL aspects of women and dating...

Approaching a woman, getting her number, asking her out, kissing her, getting physical... everything.

If you don't know what to do in each situation, you will probably screw it up... and LOSE EVERYTHING.

And you KNOW it.

It is VITALLY important that you know EXACTLY how to go from one step to the next with a woman... from the first meeting, all the way to the bedroom.

MISTAKE #10: Not Getting HELP

This is the biggest mistake of all.

This is the mistake that keeps most men from EVER having the kind of success with women that they truly want.

I know, guys don't like to make themselves look weak or helpless. We don't like to ask for help.

Hey, I've been there myself.

Let me tell you a little about me and how I figured out how to be successful with women...

About five years ago I became fed up with the fact that I didn't know how to approach, meet, and get dates with women that I was attracted to.

It frustrated the hell out of me.

One night I was out with a friend, and I saw a woman I wanted to ask out, but I just couldn't get up the nerve to do it. I can still remember that night... right on the spot I made the decision to do whatever it took to learn how to be successful with women and dating.

Well, after a lot of hard work and trying all kinds of crazy things, I finally figured it all out.

I can now approach just about any woman and get her number almost instantly. I've dated models, I've dated actresses, and I've dated nice, normal, regular girls as well.

It has been a very rewarding experience. I no longer feel that sick, insecure feeling... like I don't know how to meet women... and I might wind up alone.

I know that anytime, anywhere, I can go out and meet attractive women.

I've written a book on the topic, and I've done seminars on both coasts of the United States... and taught tens of thousands of men all around the world.


So what do you think? Truth or just a pile of BS? You make the call :D

Before you wanna get yourself an 3G iPhone this coming Sept...

You might wanna watch this.

Got this from another site... take it with a pinch of salt though :)

10 Years.....

since Myx Metal Assault was first released to the local metal scene which comprised of 6 local metal bands, including my now-defunct band, X-Conxept.

When I was combing through my CD collection over the years for some old stuff to listen to, I picked up the CD and realised that it was released in 1998, exactly 10 years after.



Now I've uploaded 2 of the songs X-Conxept had recorded for the compilation. Specially for the bandmates of X-Conxept (you know who you are). Enjoy.

Beijing Olympics

Watched the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony this evening and I must say, it's one of the most spectacular ceremony I've ever seen in my life! The amount of fireworks used is insane but it created a very visually satisfying experience for the audience, both in the stadium and in front of the TV.

Guess the athletes may have to worry about the air pollution the fireworks created though LOL.

After the show, I started to surf internet for news & stuffs and I accidentally found a feature in Ubuntu which I never knew.... it is able to preview (or rather pre-hear in this case) your audio files without even opening the media player. Here's the demonstration (Taken with N95, which can't focus in Video mode, hence the off-focused video):


From USA, with stuffs.....

AngKuGuay & DaBitch had came back from San Francisco, USA visiting Hilary and Sarah as well as having their honeymoon there. Oh boy they have brought back tons of stuffs and they said that they would buy more if they had more cash and luggage!

When they returned from the trip, they asked me over to their place to collect some stuff they got for me and of course, my "belated birthday present" from Hilary: A pair of skateboard shoes that carries my cyber-alias. Picture speaks a thousand words (see below). The shoe is very well-cushioned and very comfortable to wear. Thanks Hilary!




While AngKuGuay & DaBitch were at San Francisco, shopping around with Hilary, the Sarahs, and Damien. They came across a T-Shirt which they knew it is for me. Why? Cos it printed with a hand sign I used very often. And they got it for me :D


Other than the T-Shirt, AngKuGuay & DaBitch passed me a Californian License Plate bearing my name and a couple of keyrings which they gotten a handful for free at MotoGP race in Leguna. Song lor.....


Upong reaching home, I received a postal package.. It was not long before I realised that it is the T-Shirt with a cool imprint designed by my DOD friend Debugu. The design looked much better physically :D

Guess with a pair of new shoes and 2 new T-Shirts, guess I won't be shopping for new clothes for months to come hehe....

And thanks a lot to AngKuGuay, Hilary & DaBitch!
Haven't been changing my spark plugs since gotten the bike and now the mileage had determined that it's time to change new ones before the upcoming long trip. I'm looking into something that can last me more mileage before the next change as compared to 10000km for normal spark plug. Hence I chose the Denso Iridium Power spark plugs which I read from the site that it can last at least 30000miles. That's the kind of plug I'm looking for.... you'll know why as you read on.

In order to change the spark plugs on the FZ1, I had to remove the radiator from its mounting to provide some hand space to remove the spark plug connectors, and even with the radiator removed, there's only so much space to remove the connectors, especially the rightmost 2.

When I removed the plugs out, I checked the plugs and am glad that the condition of the plugs are good. This means that my FZ1's air/fuel mixture ratio are neither too lean or too rich. Just nice.


So slowly I inserted the new plugs as the tip are very fine (only 0.4mm) so I have no wish to bust the tip thru stupid mistakes. Once they are in place, I cranked up the engine and voila! the engine is alive again! The whole activity took me more than 2 hours to get it done, partly due to the fact that the plug connectors are a bitch to remove (freaking tight). That's the reason why I rather get some plugs that enables me to change them at longer intervals.

Better Braking Feel

Ever since trying the Brembo Brake Master Pump on AngKuGuay's Hayabusa, I had been wanting to have that kind of improved braking on my bike. And although my stock brake pump is not that bad, but it's not that good with regards to braking feel. I can have light braking at one light pull on the lever and have sudden hard braking feel if I pulled a little bit more...kinda hard to explain that feeling in words haha....

After months of saving up, I finally able to afford myself a second-hand unit from a bike forum. Then another month of saving got myself the brakeline which will last me the lifetime of the bike.

After mustering up enough moolah for it, I got myself Venhill Steel Braided Brakelines for my front and rear brakes, TYGA brake reservior and Goodridge Hydraulic Pressure Brake Switch and prepare to get it installed at the bike shop.


The installation took good 2 hours to get everything up without any mishaps. Tried it out on the road and now I feel better braking feedback even with one-finger braking and the braking feel is gradual so I now can prevent myself from braking too hard.

Conclusion is that this is a good upgrade and a worthwhile investment since the master pump is usable on most bike models.
