Providing this is essential to our willingness to open up and offer you the Golden Ticket to our bodies, our femininity and our hearts.
Make no mistake, this cannot be feigned.
You can change your haircut or roll around in new digs, but a wolf in sheep's clothing will be found out.
Unlike some of the easier fixes, safety is something that you must consistently cultivate if you want to demonstrate that you are a man of character and honor.
When I start talking about safety, most men get this image of fending off the bad guy to protect the damsel in distress.
In case you haven't noticed, we women are growing more and more capable of keeping ourselves safe these days.
We have developed some sophisticated ways of balancing the scales of the physical differences between the sexes.
Between tazer guns to self-defense courses, we have armed ourselves with skills, techniques and technology to maintain our safety.
This doesn't mean, however, that the underlying fear about our physical wellbeing is altogether gone.
Sadly, if those fears didn't still exist (and were not used by the companies that cater to these fears), there would be no market for such programs or apparatus.
It means that we now have some more tools in our arsenal to protect ourselves physically.
We have moved up Maslow's theoretical Hierarchy of Needs.
This is the notion that once our most basic needs for things like food, shelter and safety are met, we are psychologically and physically free to seek a higher order of needs such as intellectual advancement, interpersonal relationships and spirituality.
Now that we aren't being chased by tigers and fending for our safety on a daily basis, we can turn to the next rung of the ladder...
emotional safety.
Unfortunately, there are still men who prey upon women and there are women who aren't very skilled at assessing safety.
This means that women have developed some sophisticated ways of assessing your true motives.
Some factors that help women feel safe are:
- Proximity; maintaining arm's distance in the beginning will make her feel more comfortable.
Bee-lining it toward her, approaching her from behind and closing your body off so that she has no possible exit will cause her to automatically tense up.
Instead, approach her from the side and make your presence known verbally if she doesn't see you right away - don't touch! - Non-verbal cues; it's OK to check me out, it's not OK when you're licking your lips, grabbing your crotch or staring incessantly at my chest...
it makes me feel like prime rib that you're getting ready to devour.
- Verbal cues; she's listening for words that signal danger or cues that what you're saying and what you're wanting are not the same.
- Honesty; she's looking for the demonstration of integrity and honor through being forthcoming about yourself and having honesty in your presentation.
Are they uptight or relaxed? Tense or at ease? Use these skills in your everyday interactions with people as practice for when you approach a woman.
With females representing half the population, there are many opportunities to hone these skills outside of your dating and mating life.
