Steve McQueen had an understated, “cool” kind of bad-boy charm that could easily set a woman’s heart throbbing. Women adored him and loved to be with him. He exuded masculinity and, even though he came off as a little “rough around the edges”, he was very attractive to women.
Here are some of the tactics he used to be successful with women:
#1: Practice Perseverance. If you have a goal, be it a career or a woman, don’t get discouraged. Do not let setbacks or rejection stop you. Don’t stop approaching women just because of a tactless “brush off.” Remember Steve McQueen’s motto: “When I believe in something, I fight like hell for it.”
#2: Practice Makes Perfect. One way to be extremely interesting to women, is to have a lot of different life experiences. Steve McQueen was in the circus, the Marines, he raced motorcycles, all these before he became a wonderful actor.
Having a variety of life experiences will not only make you more interesting, it will give you great conversation topics. Be open to new experiences and add them to the repertoire of interesting things you can talk about.
#3: Be Prepared to Take a Risk From Time to Time. OK, it’s not easy to approach a woman in a bar, but women admire men who take this kind of a risk. They know it isn’t easy, and the man faces rejection, but you will show her that you find the possibility of getting to know her worth the risk.
#4: Be the Center of Attention. Project confidence when you enter a bar or other gathering. Be the best-dressed man there, the one with the most poise. Show off your conversation skills and sense of humor. Don’t just hang with the other guys. Be an individual with your own unique style.
#5: Be Masculine. Women love a manly man, one who isn’t afraid of his own masculinity. Women love a man who is confident, has charm, is capable, resourceful and who can be tough when it’s necessary.
Watch the old Steve McQueen movies if you get a chance. Take notes. His brand of “cool” was very successful with women and will be successful for you, also.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been around for a long time and has established himself as an accomplished actor as well as being successful with women. His looks definitely have something to do with this, but there is more to him than just his boyish good looks. He has a style about him that women – and other men – find captivating and appealing. Here are some dating tips you can learn from Leonardo DiCaprio:
#1: Be Discriminating in the Women You Date. You don’t have to date every attractive woman you meet. Know what you’re looking for in a woman and know your worth. Date women who have the same standards as you. In other words, don’t date women with lesser social status than yourself just because you can. Keep your standards high and you will always have a selection of high-quality women to date.
#2: Grow Older Gracefully. You can’t be a teenage heartthrob forever. Grow up and act your age. Women find men who act and live like responsible adults much more attractive than teeny boppers. Real “women” are attracted to real “men.”
#3: Have Issues in Your Life That You Are Passionate About. For example, DiCaprio is passionate about the environment. You can choose something that you are honestly passionate about and get involved. This will definitely make you more interesting and show that you are a better-rounded individual. Not only will this make you more attractive to women, you will meet women who are passionate about the same things that you are.
#4: Take Pride in Your Career and Being the Best You Can Be at Whatever You Have Chosen to Do With Your Life. Excel. Women find men who take their careers seriously very attractive. They will expect you to take your personal life, with them, just as seriously. Women love men who are ambitious and successful, both in their work life and their private life.
#5: Be Mysterious. Make a woman have to work at it to get to know more about you. Don’t be overeager to respond if a woman calls you – play just a little bit hard to get. Remember, when you think you can’t have something, or that you have to work a bit harder to get something, it gives it more perceived value.
Suave, sophisticated, a little big exclusive and hard-to-get, and passionate are all qualities that should hold you in good stead when you are interested in getting more quality ladies into your life.
Don Juan? Hmmm… Wikipedia describes Don Juan as a “womanizer” and, in at least one version of the legend of Don Juan, he gets dragged off to Hell by the ghost of the man whose daughter he seduced!
Be that as it may, my favorite version of the Don Juan legend is the 1994 movie, “Don Juan de Marcos” starring Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando, and Faye Dunaway. In fact, several of the women in my life were adamant that every man between the ages of 12 and 92 MUST watch this movie at least 10 times and take copious notes. I think this movie struck a cord with women and men would be well advised to listen.
That being said, here are some “Don Juan Principles” you can try out in your life:
1. When you’re going out on the town, dress “dashing.” Don’t just throw on anything you can find in your closet that would make you look like 98% of the other guys out there. Make an effort to stand out from the crowd by the clothes you choose to wear. Remember, first impressions last.
2. Be assertive! Don’t congregate with all the other guys. Do you think your dream woman is going to crash that hurdle to ask YOU to dance? I don’t think so. Make the first move. Get out on that dance floor and steal the girl who has caught your eye.
3. Project confidence. Walk around like you own the night and every girl there will feel lucky to be seen with you.
4. When you make contact with your dream girl, don’t just “talk” nonsense stuff to make conversation. Complicate her; ask her opinion about things; be humorous – show her you’re not the usual run-of-the-mill guy on the make. Let her know there is some substance to you.
5. When you are seated with her at a table, and you’ve bought her a drink, keep the conversation going. Ask her how she feels about things – get her talking about her emotions and feelings. Don’t get nervous and segue into “chit-chat.”
6. At this point, if you would like her phone number, be smart about asking. Say something definite like, “Would you like to have dinner with me next week? How can I get a hold of you?”
Turn yourself into a dashing Don Juan, and your success with the ladies will become legendary.
