Monday Maverick: Football

Hoping for this to happen in February 2012.

Every Monday I’ll be giving tips on different perspectives on dating that will “free Your mind.” Like a true Maverick, I’ll give an unorthodox approach to everyday scenarios that will help you in your dating life and potentially beyond.

"Using football to meet
more women."

This post is meant specifically for football fans.

This post was inspired by the VERY annoying Jets fan screaming and slapping her hands on the bar everytime she saw a Jets player on the screen. I loathe you.

For the next 6 months, every Sunday, Monday night and some Thursday nights -- and if you love college football, Saturdays -- will be consumed by football.

As much as we will have our eyes glued to screen and screaming at ridiculous plays and calls, understand there's an opportunity to meet women easily.

Top 10 Thursday: Ways To Touch Women

A future player.Every Thursday, I will put up a top ten list of awesomeness, with short descriptions and tips. Feel free to laugh, enjoy and pass them around.

"Top 10 Ways to
Touch Women"

People ask me what's the biggest mistake guys make when meeting women. Touching women is a close second to approaching women.

I tell my clients, "if you're not touching her, you're just having conversation."

If you wonder why you're always that guy in the "Friend's Zone," this may be the reason.

The only way to truly have her see you as more than a friend is to create a state that gets her to think about you romantically.

Flirting is the overall tool to do that and within flirting, touching is the most important factor.

Today, you are going to get 10 ways you can initiate natural contact, while showing her you're interested.

Riot With The Wingman And The Second Glass

The Riot is coming to NYC."Win The Experience Of Tasting Amazing Wine And Partying With The Wingman in NYC"

Often, I recommend going to wine tastings as a way to meet women. Well, one of the biggest and best tastings is coming to New York -- and you can win the opportunity to have me as your wingman for the night.

Wine Riot, hosted by Second Glass, isn’t your typical wine tasting. Besides trying over 250 different wines from all over the world, you get to party with your best friends and other awesome people. If you’re tech-savvy, you can even use their Mobile App to mark your favorite wines as you taste so you can purchase them the next time you hit the wine bar or store.

Don’t know anything about wine? That’s ok! They have 20-minute crash course seminars to make sure you’re up to “sniff” when it comes to your grape game. No question is a stupid question, various wine experts will be scattered around the floor and answer any question you have.

There will also be a photo booth (which can be awesome), a DJ, food from the likes of Luke’s Lobster, Cabot Cheese, Taza Chocolate and most importantly, people to meet!

Second Glass has appointed me as their Wingman Ambassador for this month’s Wine Riot. I’ll be here to guide you along the way to make sure you have the best time possible, whether you’re single, going out in a group, with your crush or taking someone out on a date. 

One lucky guy will get me as their wingman for up to four hours. Imagine being able to go to one of the most social events of the year and have The Professional Wingman at your disposal?! You’ll get to meet tons of women -- make some connections -- and have a blast while drinking some of the best wines in the world.

Here’s what you need to do to enter:

  1. Fill out the form below and tell us why you want to riot with me.
  2. Press Submit.

That’s it. Deadline for entry is September 19th at 12PM EST. The winner will be announced live on Twitter & Facebook later that day and we will be documenting the whole process both on The Professional Wingman [Twitter] [Facebook] and the Second Glass [Twitter] [Facebook] right through the Wine Riot, Saturday, September 24th at the Skylight One Hanson in Williamsburg, New York.

If you’re interested in going, there are 3 times you can to go. Check out the details and be sure to get tickets!

Trust me, you will NOT want to miss this event.

Tip Tuesday: Can A Woman Be A Wingman?

No. But they can be wingwomen.Every Tuesday, we ask people from Team Wingman & Twitter what they would like me to talk about. It could be a general topic or a direct question. I’ll choose the best one and later that day, I’ll write something and give tips addressing that topic or question.

"Question: Can a woman be a wingman?" 

I've answered this question before nearly two years ago, using my favorite show Entourage as an example. Today, I am going to answer the question in a different way, based on some disucssion that was had recently.

Wednesday Wisdom: Why Boys Need "Manly" Role Models

Every Wednesday I will share a thought, message or quote that will be not only applicable in your dating life but also every other aspect of your life.

This was shared with me over Twitter and I had to make this today's piece. There are a lot of influences that attribute to why guys are having a hard time "stepping up" today. Psychologist Philip Zimbardo shares his thoughts with real data to back him up.

Instead of finding a solution, let's work as one to BE the solution through how we carry ourselves so we can be a measure to model.

Tip Tuesday: Career Women Are Too Intimidating

Every Tuesday, we ask people from Team Wingman & Twitter what they would like me to talk about. It could be a general topic or a direct question. I’ll choose the best one and later that day, I’ll write something and give tips addressing that topic or question.

Keep meeting dudes that are intimidated. How do I nab a confident dude?

I decided to take a different approach to this one and ask follow up questions to get a clearer idea. Then, we got to the heart of the issue. We'll go play-by-play. I want to thank her for allowing me to share this conversation anonymously as she is an awesome gal!

I asked her where she is going to meet her potentials? Her answer:

Monday Maverick: Set Milestones

The ladder may be high, but you can still get to the top.

Every Monday I’ll be giving tips on different perspectives on dating that will “free Your mind.” Like a true Maverick, I’ll give an unorthodox approach to everyday scenarios that will help you in your dating life and potentially beyond.

Set milestones for your dating life.

When I ask clients what they would like to accomplish in their dating lives, they usually say the same thing.

"I'd like a wife / husband," or, "I really want a girlfriend / boyfriend."

And when I ask them how they are planning to get there, it's unfortunately the same thing.

Wednesday Wisdom: Become Blind To Fear

Every Wednesday I will share a thought, message or quote that will be not only applicable in your dating life but also every other aspect of your life.

This quote comes from a story of facing fears told from my perspective in a piece featured on the site revolution.is. Here's a link to the full story.

"I choose to put my focus on proving the naysayers wrong while making a difference in the world."

Make the decision to prove yourself wrong, be the person you know you can be and be THE difference in the lives of people you meet.

Tip Tuesday: How Guys Show Interest

A nice foliow up to last week's question.

Every Tuesday, we ask people from Team Wingman & Twitter what they would like me to talk about. It could be a general topic or a direct question. I’ll choose the best one and later that day, I’ll write something and give tips addressing that topic or question.

What does the man do to show he's interested? How do I know he isn't just being friendly?

It may come to a surprise -- or not -- but guys tend to act a little weird when they are interested.

They may get shy or nervous. They may smile a lot. They may even be a little sillier than normal.

Other than those things, they will typically do many of the same things I explained in last week's post. Guys will tease, compliment and be a little more touchy (poking, hugging, arm around shoulder / hips, playful pushing, etc.).

Another thing a guy will (read: should) do, is allude to a "potential future" with you. What I mean by that is he will invite you to things that are going on in his life -- or out on a date. Just because he may invite you to hang out with him and his friends, doesn't mean he's not asking you out.

While I don't think it's considered a date, it's still an opportunity to spend time with him under a low-pressure environment and still get to know him.

If you'd like your question answered on the blog, be sure to send a tweet to me or post a question to Team Wingman.
