You don’t have to like or love every person you meet, but sometimes we shut ourselves off from others too quickly or too easily without every giving them a chance. Look for the good in people, really listen to them and work to understand their point of view- you’ll find that people will open up to you fairly easily and you’ll grow closer, faster. Recognize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. When we get rejected or it turns out that they’re not a good fit for us, we tend to get angry or upset and turn against that person. However, just because they rejected you or there wasn’t any chemistry...

It’s not impossible to meet someone even if you do have bad habits, but it definitely makes it a lot harder. So let’s go over three self-destructive habits that you need to get rid of in order to attract great people. Like attracts like, so if you find that you have a lot of negativity or insecurity in your life, you’ll likely also find that you attract similar people (and potentially also pushing away people who are confident...

How To Keep Them ATTRACTED! - Course of Attraction (PART 2)

Image
S U B S C R I B E ► to BePrimo - We post new videos every week! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqfJF... How do you attract them? Hey everyone! Welcome to Part 2 of the Course of Attraction. Today we’re talking about the actual methods and actions you can take to attract people once you meet them. When we think of an attractive person, what comes to mind? Are they lurking in the corner, pessimistic, or cold? Likely not. People we find attractive are more likely to be charismatic, humorous, open, and excited. Their positive energy draws us in. The first thing to keep in mind if you want people to find you more attractive is to take on that confident attitude and fun, positive energy. Look people in the eye and smile when you talk to them and they’ll feel more comfortable either approaching you or opening up to you. Next, let’s go over some opening lines or conversation starters you can use. Both men and women can and should walk up and initiate conversation. You have n...

What Men Want in a Woman

Image
I hear a lot of women puzzle over how to get a guy to willingly commit to a relationship, because as soon as she mentions the word ‘commit’ he usually starts to back away. Fortunately, it’s not as hard as you might think to get a guy to shift from “I’m just not ready for anything serious yet” to “I’m in this for the long-haul”. While everyone is a little bit different, here are the common traits and values that most men are looking for before they consider committing to a relationship. He wants to feel like a man. I’m not talking about traditional gender roles where he’s the breadwinner, or he does all of the handy work around the house. What I mean when I say, he wants to feel like a man, is that he wants to know he can take care of you and that he feels needed and appreciated by you. Basically, he should have a special role with you in your relationship that no one else will fill and he knows it (just like you have a special role with him that no one else will fill). He’s l...

MISTAKES Every Woman Makes to Get a Guy to Commit

Image
MISTAKES Every Woman Makes to Get a Guy to Commit. I want to talk about the mistakes a lot of women make when they’re friends with a guy and want to start dating him, or are casually dating and trying to get him to commit more seriously to the relationship. Even though it might feel like it makes sense in the moment, these mistakes generally end up pushing a guy away rather than bringing him closer, which could then potentially cost you your relationship. So let’s go through these mistakes so you know what to avoid. 1. Trying too hard If you’re always there for him, doing everything for him, spoiling him, finding every excuse to spend as much time with him as possible, or contacting him constantly. It might feel like a good idea because it means he’s always thinking about you, right? Wrong. Bending over backwards and spending every waking moment with him is only going to freak him out. Everyone needs some personal time and space, and if you don’t allow that for him, he will ...

3 Habits That Will Make You Smarter Proven Ways To Improve Intelligence

Image
Hey guys this is Max from BePrimo. I want to teach you three habits that you can start today to make yourself smarter. The first is read books. Read mostly non fiction books. I recommend reading book about Self Improvement, People/Relationships, and anything non-fiction (history, science, food, etc). Next, exercise. Exercise is linked with neurogenesis, which is the production of new brain cells and increased BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor- the “miracle gro” for the brain). Additionally, it’s associated with lowering your stress. It helps you adjust and prevent your mood from impacting your day too strongly. What I've Learned - WHY Exercise is so Underrated (Brain Power & Movement Link) - https://youtu.be/DsVzKCk066g Finally, sharpen your thinking. This is related to the first habit. You’ll want to start out reading about how the brain works. Read books about problem solving, decision making, http://amzn.to/2BRNywP - Problem Solving 101 by Ken...

7 Easy Signs That She is Attracted to You

Image
Recommended book Models by Mark Manson - http://amzn.to/2Bdi18p 7 surefire signs that a girl is attracted to you. 1. Keeps looking over at you If a girl is glancing over your way and you catch her eye, that’s instantly a good sign since she’s only going to keep looking your way if she’s interested. If you just catch her eye once but then she doesn’t look back your way again, then that probably doesn’t mean much. But let’s say you notice she’s looking over at you two or three times and she’s smiling when your eyes meet- that’s a clear signal that you should go up and introduce yourself to her! 2. Making eye contact and laughing/smiling when talking with you If you’re talking to a girl that you’re really interested in, pay attention to where her focus is. Does she keep looking away past your shoulder and does she get easily distracted? Or is she holding eye contact and paying close attention to what you’re saying? Does she laugh pretty easily at your jokes? 3. Her body la...

How To Break Bad Habits (Power of Habit Book Summary)

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg - http://amzn.to/2DKChMR The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg “All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits.” - William James 1892 Part 1 - The Habits of Individuals Habits are formed in the basal ganglia, which means you can form new habits even when you lose short term memory. Part 2 - The Habits of Successful Organizations Organizations and companies have habits that have either been formed intentionally or out of necessity. Habits in an organization can keep it running along smoothly or they will eventually cause destruction and it will take a true crisis for the people within to finally embrace change. Part 3 - The Habits of Societies And then societies themselves have habits and social norms that we all prescribe to more or less for fear of social pressure. One paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found that more than 40% of the actions people performed each day weren’t actual decisions, ...

Break Your Bad Habits Through Reinforcements

Image
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhig - http://amzn.to/2E9nc8O First what is a reinforcement?  In psychology, there are punishments and reinforcements.  Punishments (both positive and negative) are used to decrease a specific behavior while reinforcements (positive or negative) are use to increase a specific behavior. A negative reinforcement is when you remove an aversive stimulus to increase a behavior. One example would be if your boss kept nagging you to finish a report.  Once the report is done (desired behavior), the boss stops nagging (removal of aversive stimulus). Positive reinforcement is adding a pleasant stimulus, or a reward, to increase a behavior. This might look like rewarding yourself with a piece of chocolate (adding a pleasant stimulus) after you successfully stuck to your diet and avoided the donuts in the break room (desired behavior). Again, both positive and negative reinforcements are effective in increasing a desired behavior.  How...

THE ART OF FLIRTING (5 Tips on how to flirt)

Image
How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes - http://amzn.to/2Gd2i9k 1. Make eye contact. I’ve mentioned it before, but eye contact is extremely powerful when it comes to attracting someone.  Making eye contact and smiling is already sending a big huge sign that you’re interested in them or they’re interested in you.  Being able to hold your gaze with someone conveys confidence and trustworthiness.  Studies have also shown that gazing into a potential partner’s eyes can increase attraction 2. Compliment someone on something they’ve done, not on their looks. Own your compliments, too.  Don’t say, “You have a really nice fashion sense”.  Tell him, “I love your sense of style.”  Or even if you tell her she’s beautiful.  Saying, “I think you’re beautiful” 3. Use humor and tease them In my opinion, humor is the defining element to flirting.  You can have a conversation and compliment someone, but that doesn’t make it flirting. 4. Innuendo Innue...

If you missed part one, check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2534v... (PART 1) You become a person of high value by: Having confidence. As I mentioned in part 1, Confidence is huge. I won’t go on for too long talking about the overall benefits of having confidence, but it’s essential in attracting women. If you’re going up to talk to a girl, don’t be apologetic, don’t be desperate for her attention, or fearful of her rejection. Don’t hide who you are. Women are a lot more attracted to a guy who has self-respect and who’s not afraid to say no to her than to a guy who just agrees with everything she says and lets her walk all over him. (Being ok with rejection is a part of having confidence!) While you’re being true to yourself in your interactions with women, remember to...

(book) Models: Attract Women Through Honesty by Mark Manson http://amzn.to/2CwB37w Avoid Drama Getting into arguments over little things, blaming him for things, gossiping, any actions that create drama are going to suck the life right out of your potential relationship. Guys who have high self-esteem are only going to tolerate dramatic behavior for so long before they move on. Now, I know it can be easy to get caught up in drama. Humans are emotional and irrational creatures, so sometimes we can’t help ourselves. But the better you’re able to stay calm and level-headed, the easier it’ll be to get through rough patches or handle times of conflict. Bring something to the table Relationships are a give and take. You give your time, affection, and energy, and you should also expect them to do the same. Remember, you can’t force feelings Sometimes, one of the more difficult things to admit in dating and relationships is that you’re involved with an autonomous individual who h...

(book) Models: Attract Women Through Honesty by Mark Manson  http://amzn.to/2CwB37w Eye contact is probably one of the biggest signals of attraction that you can send to a guy.  You want to make eye contact with him, then smile and look away.  A minute or so later, you want to make eye contact again, but this time smile and hold eye contact for at least 5 seconds.  5 seconds doesn’t sound long right now, but it’s a pretty significant chunk of time when your eyes are locked. Go up to him and say hi.  Guys really appreciate it when women make the first move because besides taking some of the pressure off of them to initiate, they also don’t have to wonder if you are into them or not.  Going up and introducing yourself to a guy is a very clear signal that you’re interested in him and that you know what you want (and guys are really attracted to that!). Next, you want to Look for compatibility and have high self esteem. I mentioned before that guys...

Will Your New Year's Resolution Fail? (How to Stick to Your Resolution!)

Image
http://amzn.to/2C9pJ4Z (book link) Decisive by Chip and Dan Heath Every year, we hear the buzz of new year’s resolutions like finding a new job, losing weight, earning more money, or finally getting rid of all that extra junk that just sits in your closet. And every year, we hear about how most of them (over 80% fail.) 1. You’re not committed to it We play games with ourselves a lot when it comes to things we “should” do. We say, “I know I should go lose weight” or, “I should really stop smoking cigarettes” or, “I need to stop spending so much money on the weekends.” So to start yourself on the right path, what pain will you have if you don’t fulfill your New Year’s resolution? 2. Your New Year’s resolution is too vague. Not following through with a New Year’s resolution has the same psychology to it as does regular goal-setting. What does your resolution look like? Are there concrete numbers and is there a clear vision of what you want to accomplish? 3. We give ourselv...

Never Run Out Of Things To Say On A Date

Image
It can be difficult sometimes when you’re trying to fill that awkward silence with someone- especially on a date. Be in the moment. The first thing you need to do if you want to create interest in the other person is to stay engaged during your date. You want to show them that they come first. When in doubt, ask questions. You might feel pressured to fill the silence on a date, but rest easy because you can let them do the talking for you. You just need to ask the right questions. The best kinds of questions to keep a conversation going are: Open ended questions- you don’t want to ask a question that simply let’s them say yes or no. It makes it too easy for the conversation to just end right there. Instead, frame questions in a way that will make them explain their answers and thought process. Remember to add your own thoughts and opinions. This is a conversation, after all, so you do have to contribute at least part of the time. It’s totally natural to share your own thoug...

How To Get Your Ex Back (6 Steps)

Image
Hey Everyone, this is Lindsay from BePrimo and today we’re going to talk about the 6 steps you need to follow if you want to get your ex back. You also can’t force someone to love you. There are definitely methods to use to re-establish a connection with your ex and build back trust between each other, but there’s no magic potion to make them instantly fall back in love with you. It’s going to take work and an honest effort. 1. Take a few days for yourself. First, I really suggest that you don’t communicate with your ex at all during the initial stages of the break up and don’t make any big life decisions when you’re in such an emotional state. The next couple of days are for you to calm down from the drama of the breakup, gather yourself, and even reflect on whether or not you really want your ex back. 2. Limit your contact with your ex. In addition to giving yourself some space, the last thing you want to do is flood your ex with texts, calls, and other messages. If you ...

How To Get Over Your Ex

Image
Hi everybody! Lindsay here from Be Primo, and today I wanted to talk about how to get over your ex. First, I want to say that you’re going to have feelings and that’s ok. No one gets over heartbreak overnight, being upset is only natural, so don’t try to suppress your feelings. Give yourself a few days, maybe even a week or two, to be sad. You can be really sad. Like listen to sad music, watch sad movies, stay burrowed under your blankets, cry a lot, however it is that you need to get your emotions out. But once that time is up, turn your focus towards healing. You’ll still be upset, but your feelings won’t be center stage anymore. You’re gonna be looking forward now. No contact. During your time of all the feelings, you want to cut off all contact with your ex and you don’t want to make any any big decisions. And the faster you can end any contact or remove any reminders whatsoever of them, the easier it’ll be to move on. Absence, in this case, makes the heart forget. ...
