Announcing: Renegade Rapport!

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

The countdown has begun!

On Thursday, February 1st, at 9:00 am Pacific time, 12:00 pm Eastern time, the brand new Renegade Rapport course will go LIVE. People have been buzzing about this course for almost a month now, and I’ve gotten lots of emails from guys practically begging me for an early way to reserve their copies.

I’ve also been releasing information about the course to my special pre-announcement list for about two weeks now. For those of you who missed these, here they are:

1. The Free Self-Mastery Method eBook

2. The Free Renegade Report eBook

3. The Free Teleconference Audio

4. The First Renegade Rapport Sneak Peek!

5. The Second Renegade Rapport Sneak Peek!

6. The FINAL Renegade Rapport Sneak Peek!

And finally, tomorrow, you guys are going to get your first chance to reserve your copy of this amazing new course. Check out this email I got from a guy who just used WHAT HE HEARD about rapport from the freebies listed above (he doesn’t even have the course yet!) and look at what he has to say…

Dwight writes:

I was in class today, sitting next to a girl I talk to lightly. I actually own an NLP book and it really fascinated me. Ya buddy, unlike you I actually really like NLP.

But I remember there was a section in there about rapport, and I’ve been listening repeatedly to your interviews.

I went online and found some more articles about rapport and with all this new knowledge, I thought I’d try it out, so I began mirroring her posture.

Mind you, this girl sits next to me. Anyway, after I began mirroring her, she reinitiated conversation with me, and slowly we began to talk and it really did feel like we were old friends.

She waited for me to leave, we walked out together, we walked closer to each other and I was trying to match her tone of voice and rhythm.

OMG.

You’ve made a breakthrough man! I’ve tried everything you’ve published and I can’t wait to get a copy of the course for myself.

This stuff really does feel natural!

I’m so excited about Thursday. By my birthday on the 24th, and I’m going to have some good rapport skills developed. Booya!

Wait until you get to see for yourself what Renegade Rapport can do for you! This guy Dwight just used ONE very simple rapport technique, and look what he experienced! In this course, I go into great detail about how easy it is to create rapport with any girl you want.

But that’s not the real trick…

The REAL benefit of Renegade Rapport is that you are actually able to take the rapport you create, and lead it towards sex and seduction! And it all progresses in a very slick, natural way. No memorization! No gimmicks! No routines!

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in the Renegade Rapport course…

  • How to instantly create deep rapport with a woman within minutes when you first meet her (and in some cases, BEFORE you even meet her!).
  • How to quickly and easily initiate rapport with anyone you want.
  • How to establish rapport fast.
  • How to know if you really have rapport or not.
  • What to talk about with women exactly to build rapport.
  • How to “transition” into rapport, step by step.
  • How to keep rapport going throughout the encounter.
  • How to create rapport in a way that’s effortless and hard to detect.
  • How to create rapport without asking a lot of boring “interview” type questions.
  • How to create rapport - even if you’re painfully shy.
  • Why it’s just as easy to gain rapport with super-hot women as it is with average women?
  • How your environment affects rapport building - and how to avoid it’s pitfalls.
  • How to keep rapport with a woman you’ve been with for a long time, and even strengthen it if need be.
  • How you can actually use rapport to know what kind of a girl you are interacting with (this will help you spot “crazy bitches” from a mile away!).
  • How to use rapport to avoid the biggest frustration guys have when it comes to picking up women - Flaking!
  • How to gain rapport without coming off as needy or phoney
  • How to use rapport to change a girl’s emotional state from a cold fish to one of intense lust and attraction.
  • Why you can’t have attraction without rapport.
  • How to move the interaction towards seduction once in rapport.
  • How to create rapport when you encounter a group, especially if one or more of them “challenge” you.
  • The exact mindset you should have when talking to a girl you’re interested in.
  • How to build strong rapport with a woman you feel is WAY out of your league.
  • How to build rapport without coming across as being a jerk.
  • How to “rebuild” rapport with women whom you had a failure in building rapport with before.
  • How to keep a woman interested in you while dating so that she doesn’t feel the need for male attention elsewhere.
  • How, and at what point, to shift the vibe to a sexual one when building rapport.
  • The stages of rapport a woman will go through, and the indicators for each.
  • How to initiate and build rapport anywhere - even in a loud and noisy bar or club.
  • The exact things women like to talk about when building rapport.
  • Getting past the initial “coldness” when dealing with women.
  • How to make someone feel like they’ve known you for a long time within a few minutes.

Will Hicks + Carlos Xuma = Bacardi & Cola!

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

One Half of

One Half of “Bacardi & Cola” Works His Magic

Okay, so new news about the latest PUA team up…

I got a call from Will Hicks a few days ago. Will is the author of the book You Are So In My Way, and has also appeared on numerous Double Your Dating products.  I first met Will at the Double Your Dating Mastery seminar way back in 2004 (or was it 2005?  I forget.).  And for those of you who don’t know Will, he is a HUGE black guy!  I mean - gigantic!  But don’t let that fool ya, he’s one of the most gentle souls you’ll ever meet.

Anyway, Will used to be a bouncer at a night club, and now he’s making his professional transition into the professional men’s dating advice realm.  But he isn’t doing it alone, no sir!  Will told me himself that he’ll be teaming up with non other than Dating Dynamic’s own Carlos Xuma!

Never has a whiter-white man teamed up with a bigger black dude!  This was such an odd pairing, I couldn’t help but chuckle.  But these men are both great pick up artists, and them working together is sure to produce some incredible things.

So I am now officially dubbing this new dynamic duo “Bacardi & Cola,” since they are destined to have many odd-couple like adventures around the world.

More on this as it develops…

Golddigging Goes Commercial…

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Looks like Speed-Dating is getting down to the nitty gritty… guys looking for hot chicks, girls looking for MONEY.  Read the following, if you can stomache it.

Jan. 25, 2007— Jimmy Cyrus is a 25-year-old New York City bachelor who works 16-hour days.

He also happens to be wealthy, an asset that makes him eligible for the upcoming “Natural Selection” speed-dating event open only to “rich guys” and “hot girls.”

Cyrus, who works in real estate, is one of nearly 150 well-to-do single men in the running for the Feb. 7 Manhattan matchmaking event.

If he makes the cut, the ticket costs $500. But for that steep a fee Cyrus may have a chance to meet Heather Tierney, a 27-year-old entrepreneur living in New York, who has also applied to attend the matchmaking event. If the Indianapolis native is chosen, her entrance fee is just $30.

Speed-dating is nothing new. For the past few years, single Americans have spent evenings in bars getting paired up with other singletons in four- to eight-minute “dates.”

But the upcoming “Natural Selection” gathering puts a spin on the trend by reinforcing some age-old ideas about relationships: Men go for looks, and women prowl for money.

Yes, let’s bring out the most shallow possible needs of our customers!  Jeesh.  Personally, I see this as a HUGE disaster for the men who participate in this sucker.  I mean, if all you want is a hot chick who’s after money, why not just hire an escort?  It’s New York, you know you could find a high class one who’d be happy to give you sex for your fat wallet.

At least with the escort, you’re bank account is somewhat protected.  The girls who’d go to these things looking for rich guys could verry well be looking to entrap some poor sod.  They’ll either lead him on while milking him dry, or worse, get knocked up and have a piece of his paycheck FOREVER!

*shudder*

It’s true - money can’t buy you love.  It CAN buy you sex, though.  So if that’s all you’re after, why pay $500 to go to a freakin SPEED DATING event?  Spend that $500 on a sure thing.  Or better yet, get some nice new clothes with that money, and go out and meet a woman on your own!

I get the feeling there are going to be a lot of men taken advantage of at this event.  But that’s what you get for celebrating the worst people have to offer.

$25 Seminar?

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Stephen Nash, over at How-To-Get-A Girlfriend.com is offering a $25 seminar!

(Personally, I think he’s selling himself short.)

For those of you not “hip with the now,” Stephen has been a regular figure on my Top 10 List for a few years now.  This is a great opportunity to check him out!

The seminar will be held in New York city on March 11th, so if you’re in that area, this would be a great opportunity for ya!

Certainty Responds To Elisa

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Yesterday I got a couple angry emails from the Mehow camp about the email from Elisa.  Here’s the response:

Certainty writes:
“Elisa” is my ex girlfriend. When we were dating I was certain I was going to marry her. I had never been so in love. She was the reason I learned what I know, and was the goal for all of my education and training. We as a couple were incredibly happy. I taught her to squirt, which I learned through the community.

Elisa left me because I had created the LMR Bypass process. I have rehearsed it a couple more times since we broke up. I am writing up the process because it is so perfect to share with the community. If you get the girl in your house, she will do anything to have sex with you. I do not ever have LMR, ever. No S2. Imagine that!

Postings regarding my Approach Coaching were made by people who didn’t interact with me. Those who did had nothing but rave reviews. I did not spend enough time with the other students in the class, which is a lesson I have learned. We at mehow.tv keep our classes small so we can provide one on one attention.

Why this posting was allowed to get past the editing staff and get posted is a flagrant breach of privacy, and really bad judgement on the behalf of the editors of this site. Why would a “random” girl go through all this to point out who I am? Are we now going to allow disgruntled ex-girlfriends to attack us? Let the first without a disgruntled ex please stand up.

Silence… Huh?!

Hell hath no fury, eh?  =)

A Mehow Controversy?

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I got an email from a girl named Elisa concerning some very strange news from the Mehow camp. I don’t know if there’s any truth to it, but here’s the email…

Elisa writes:
FYI:

The COO of Mehow.tv is Certainty, also known as Squirrel, also known as Rob L. of San Diego. He was an approach coach at the June 9th MM Atlanta Bootcamp and got horrible reviews.

Mehow is Michal P. He has his own computer security company called: MKP Security. He’s a former hacker and can take down the MM site in a second, in addition to monitor it secretly for competitive information. I’d be surprised if he’s not doing that already. You can be sure he’s tracking the IP addresses of everyone on the mehow.tv forum.

If Mystery method is really suing Mehow then these posts by your disgruntled students definitely demonstrate Mehow, Lovedrop and the like were not acting in good faith. They used this bootcamp to propell their exit from The Mystery Method.

Squirrel posted regularly on the MM Lounge. MM should put post these on the public forum. I imagine they are not flattering. The way I see it, “Mehow Method” = $900 bottle service. Mehow, Certainty and their students need to write “laid out” reports, not LRs. Bottle service is truly B.S., and not a PUA skillset

FROM ATLANTA BOOTCAMP REVIEWS MM POSTS:

Squirrel kept dissapearing all weekend and me and my two buddies didn’t get any feedback or talking time with him except during seminar.

Squirrel went and did a demo set without telling us he was going in and I didnt notice him until he was in comfort. He stayed in the one set a long time so didn’t get much out of that.

During night 2 Squirrel picked up a chick in the line to the club and then buddied up with one of the students and they all went to the VIP area the student bought and noone else had access to. Sunday Squirrel was heard bragging about how he talked to her all night and timebridged her to fly out to San Diego and how she was just his type… While he was supposed to be teaching. So now the student teacher ratio was 11-2! Lovedrop started coaching towards the end of the night and it helped a little.

Lovedrop’s seminar was fantastic, Dynamic rocked (when you could get hold of him) Mehow was good at demo’ing and telling you what you did WELL and squirrel was err where WAS squirrel??

Also it really pissed me off when Mehow said he was doing Mehow Method and he wouldn’t teach it. I understand that different instructors have different styles, but I expect them to EXPLAIN IT! I see now that it was his last BC before he started his own company so that probably explains it why he didn’t want to teach.

Mehow said he didn’t work for MM and wasn’t able to discuss half the stuff he was doing and squirrel was ‘missing’ most of the time. It became a running joke with the 11 oither students playing ‘where’s squirrel’

Mehow was cool too, but like Levo said.. when you’d ask him about material he’d be like “I can’t teach that, it isn’t MM” etc (I see why he couldn’t teach non MM at a BC, but I expected the coaches to be using MM material for the BC)

Squirrel was hard to find and I saw him spend most of his time on one student, I forget his name (don’t think he posts) who was shared the most similarities. The said student and squirrel hung out almost exclusively, it felt like he was getting a 1v1 almost, lol. This understandably ticked me off a bit. I did like Squirrels extra seminar though.

I don’t think Squirrel or Mehow were official coaches they were just giving LD a hand (there was another BC running the same weekend), but Dynamic was and it showed (in a good way).

Certainty on mehow.tv: (What is real post from the Lounge?)
———————–
AJ was kind enough to grab my original post. Here it is, with minor editing:

LR: Lucky 7: 100% F-Close, 0% LMR

HB9blondLongIsland, HB8AsianNutBall; HB8BlondNewport; HB8BlondMMLV; HB7OBBrunette; HB8ManicMormon; HB8Vegan; HB9petiteLebonese.

Technically, that’s 8, but Lucky 8 doesn’t sound as good as Lucky 7. Normally I wouldn’t use “Lucky” to describe an F-Close, because there is no such thing as Luck when it comes to an HB. “Luck is for the AFC who stumbles on an HB so horny she is willing to overlook his personality to have sex. Much like a drunk AMOG overlooks a 30 lb weight problem and butter-face to get laid.” – Certainty.

Field tested D1 S1-S3 process yields 100% F-close results with no LMR.

After many years of being stopped by girls in S2 (I only learned about S2 recently) I have finally devised an LMR strategy that consistently works. But first, a little background.

Before the community, I had had only 1 one-night stand. I could never get the girl to have sex with me. I had great Comfort, very good Seduction including the ability to give a girlfriend multiple C-spot orgasms, but couldn’t get a girl to have sex with me on the first night. They would always wait until we were more serious about each other, which usually initiated an unintended LTR. I have had numerous situations where I was in bed, half naked, and the girl said “no”. I was trained by society to stop at that point. So, like a good AFC, I did. I also became frustrated and angry with the girl, hence my AFC label. If she didn’t want to have sex, then why would she go all this far to just stop and say “no”?

It turns out, I was supposed to pause, not stop. “No” means “I’m too hot and bothered to continue right now, I need to take a breather.” When I first read about LMR in the MM materials, I was astonished. This is supposed to happen? It is hard wired into her physiology and psychology? It isn’t me? Quite the eye opener.

After learning about LMR, I started to follow MM’s somewhat successful process for overcoming LMR . It’s a really basic cycle. She needs to stop, take a breather, and start again. She will let you know when she is ready to stop. It is up to you to be non-reactive, take a step back, and continue again in the future. She is specifically designed to be turned on by start, stop, start; lather, rinse, repeat. It is in this cycle that she gains her sexual arousal to meet mine. She needs to pursue to gain arousal, but must also have me take responsibility for her behavior. She hunts, is hunted, and hunts again to get turned on.

As a Man, I am turned on by the sight of an extremely sexy HB9 or HB10. I can become physically aroused by just the sight of a naked HB. An HB is wired completely differently. She’s having 10 thoughts for every one of mine. She also carries guilt and shame. I would hate to be an HB.

I took Mystery’s LMR process and added to it. I now have a 100% (across 8 HBs) process that effectively ensures I never have to go on a date until after we have had sex. I am starting to live the life of my gay male friends who have sex before they go on a date, and it is expected.

If I had known about LMR just a few years ago, my lay ratio would have been much higher. If you read to this point and are wondering what the process is, you’ll have to wait for my next posting. I wrote this for the SD Crew, but I’m not sure I should post it here. It is really out there.

Are All Men A little Gay?

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Some guy who writes a blog called (gayly enough) Sticky Butter write a diatribe about how he believes all men are a *little* gay.

I would like to start off by saying the opinions expressed in this post are not the opinions of all men. Probably not the opinions of all women either. It is however, the bold opinion of the man writing this post, me. Now why in hell would I be thinking such…I’ll say nonsense for arguement sake, in the first place. The answer…I really don’t have one. Not one that would make reasonable sense. It may be a cummulation of observations that I have stored away for such a moment as this one. Or it could be solely because of the middle aged gentleman I caught taking a peak at the hardware before I hit the shower after a long workout. Whatever the reason, who’s to say I am completely off base here. Is what I am going to say controversial? Maybe. Uninformed? Maybe. Truthful? Maybe. It could be all three and more for all I know. But what I do know is that it is an interesting idea.

Take for instance, the simple act of peeing in a public urinal. Gentlemen, you know the usual scene. Man walks in and pisses in the short urinal instead of the big boy one that is right next to you. Why? For what reason? To more efficiently fight the urge to look at your junk out of the corner of his eye to see what your holding? Chances are he will do it anyway because men are wired in a way that makes us very competitive. And the size of your “member” seems to be a big determinant of your manhood. Personally, I find it pretty easy to look down and away or straight ahead at the wall, but I to have fell to the temptation to sneak a peak just like the rest of you. Does it make you gay? Well…no. A little gay? Yeah maybe.

Not yet convinced that all of us may have a little gay in us? (Pun not intended) Think on this thought. You are going to have to swallow (again, not intended) your pride and ego on this one. Somewhere during your life time you have wondered what it would be like to kiss another guy. You don’t have to admit it out loud if you don’t want to. But dammit if it ain’t true. Now the thought alone does not make you gay or bi-sexual unless you act on it, or in a movie where your getting boo-coo dollars to do it (Brokeback Mountain). But does it make you a little gay? Yeah maybe.

Still unconvinced? How about the infamous prank known to all men as Tea-bagging. What is not gay about dropping your nuts on another man’s chin? Should I mention Brown-nosing? Not only is that gay, its raunchy gay. Now we’ve all done them. And are they a little gay? Yeah maybe. [Sidebar: Guys also think that fucking a guy in the ass is not gay because you are not receiving it, or receiving a blow job from another guy is not gay because you are not performing that act. Just to clear all that up. No matter how you try to reason them out, both are very gay. You are gay. Deal with it.]

If you are still not convinced, you are probably a narrow-minded homophobic douchbag. But here I go. One more reason why you are probably a little gay. Porno. We all watch it, we all love it. Nothing is better to watch than some chick getting face fucked, ass raped, gangbanged, or pussy plowed over and over again. Unless of course it’s you doing all those things. [Disclaimer: Actually face fucking, ass raping, gangbanging and pussy plowing another human being without proper consent is wrong and I do not personally condon those actions] Now here’s the gay factor. Do you want to watch some dude with a pencil thin dick doing all those things you dream you could do just once? No fucking way! You want the guy strapped with a Colt .45 handling that business. Is that a little gay? Yeah maybe.

So there you have it. A few reasons why, if you think about it, you may just be a little gay.

The author of this post is not gay. He has never had a gay encounter. He is fiance’d to a beautiful woman whom he loves dearly. But does this post make him a little gay? Yeah maybe.

Not that there’s anywthing WRONG with that… =)
On a side note - I have never, nor have I ever met anyone - who has “teabaged” another guy. Nor have I ever heard of “brown nosing” another dude in the context this guy is using it. But I think it’s pretty obvious that if you do ANYTHING with your junk or ass that has to do with another guy, that’s pretty darn gay.

I think this blog post was inspired by that scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin where the guys are spouting out reasons why each other is gay. Like “Know how I know you’re gay? I once saw you bake a loaf of bread with cheese in it.” That’s what this sounds like. “Want to know how I know you’re gay? Because I once saw you dip your balls on another man’s chin.”

Personally, I think some of this guy’s logic is flawed.  Like the porno stuff.  So you see another guy’s dick… big deal.  Is looking at a dick while you’re focusing on the woman gay?  Not in my book.  And what if the only porno you watch is lesbian?  Is that still gay since there are no dicks around?  Maybe I’m just a homophobic douchbag, but I think intention has a lot to do with truly being “homosexual.”  But if you’re using “gay” as an adjective to describe situations and things, then yeah, I guess we’ve all been accidentally gay before.

(Not that there’s anything wrong with that! =)

The Women Of Warcraft

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Just another attempt to obsolete real women...

Just another attempt to obsolete real women…

Wow… Geekery has just reached new heights!

Apparently, gamedaily.com has taken to looking for World Of Warcraft characters that resemble real life female celebrities, with an even more disturbing “hotness factor” score.

So they took some time to actually create World Of Warcraft avatars that resemble real life women!

(As if the real thing could ever be replaced. =)

Here’s the list:

    1. Female Blood Elf - Lindsay Lohan
    2. Female Night Elf - Catherine Zeta Jones
    3. Female Draenei - Charlize Theron
    4. Female Gnome - Natalie Portman
    5. Female Human - Eva Longoria
    6. Female Orc - Jenny McCarthy
    7. Female Scourge - Victoria Beckham
    8. Female Tauren - Big Momma (or any other big black woman)
    9. Female Troll - Pink

You know, this is almost as disturbing as the conversations about how hot Bugs Bunny was when he dressed in drag. I guess people who’s lives revolve around these games need SOME outlet to fantasize about. But the problem I have with a lot of these games -ESPECIALLY World Of Warcraft - is that guys that play the game tend to forego actual human interaction in exchange for a life in a “virtual world.”

Not only that, but there’s also a disturbing trend in “online gender swapping” where a lot of guys actually choose hot female avatars to play games with, as though they’re trying to compensate their lack of female companionship with roleplaying as a female character.

Now, having played WOW myself, I know how fun the game is. But it’s no substitute for living a real life. I know some people who’ve met girls through online games, but it seems like that’s the exception other than the rule. I personally believe that stuff like this - drawing parallels between online female avatars and real life women - is unhealthy.

The LAST thing most guys need is stuff that further erodes their social skills.

Viagra Causes AIDS?

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Looks like the creaters of Viagra are about to get rammed themselves…

NEW YORK (AFP) - A leading American AIDS group said it was suing Pfizer, the producer of Viagra, accusing the company of increasing the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases through “irresponsible” marketing.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the largest AIDS healthcare, prevention and education provider in the United States, accused Pfizer of deliberately pitching the erectile-dysfunction drug at men who did not need it.

“Pfizer’s direct to consumer marketing of Viagra as a drug to enhance sexual performance is primarily aimed at men who don’t necessarily suffer from a clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction,” the group’s president, Michael Weinstein, said in a statement.

“We believe it is not only irresponsible, but also illegal, especially in light of the drug’s known use as part of a ‘circuit party cocktail’ of drugs that is fueling the spread of STDs and HIV,” he added.

Viagra has become increasingly popular on the club circuit to counteract the side effect of erectile dysfunction associated with the use of party drugs such as ecstasy, amphetamine and crystal methamphetamine.

The case is being brought under a Californian law and accuses Pfizer of “unlawful, unfair and fraudulent business practices.”

The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer’s “unlawful and deceptive marketing of its erectile dysfunction drug Viagra has caused an increase in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases including, but not limited to, HIV/AIDS.”

It further accuses Pfizer of maintaining its marketing strategy despite what the group says is “clear evidence of its illegality and harmful effects.”

Weinstein said the lawsuit was aimed to force Pfizer to stop advertising the medication “in the reckless manner it has been doing” and require the company to undertake a public information campaign about the alleged risks of Viagra.

The lawsuit specifically outlines what the AIDS Healthcare Foundation calls “the increased risks of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases associated with using Pfizer’s Viagra.”

Pfizer dismissed the allegations, saying in a statement that its advertising made clear Viagra does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, while rejecting claims it was promoting the recreational use of the drug.

“Pfizer does not promote Viagra for recreational use. We have always been committed to safe and appropriate use of Viagra for the treatment of erectile dysfunction,” the statement said.

“Pfizer recognizes that the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases is a significant public health issue,” it added.

In late 2005, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation demanded Pfizer withdraw an advertising campaign that suggested using Viagra to ring in the new year.

“What are you doing New Year’s Eve?,” said the advertisement, which appeared in national newspapers, showing a middle-aged man with greying hair.

“It is an outrage that, by referencing the biggest party night of the year, Pfizer would employ an advertising strategy that encourages the use of Viagra as a ‘party drug’,” Weinstein said at the time.

Viagra appeared on the market in 1998 and has since earned Pfizer billions of dollars in sales.

But despite being the world’s biggest drugmaker in terms of revenues, Pfizer is currently suffering as generic drugmakers pump out rivals to some of its best-selling medications and on Monday unveiled 10,000 job cuts.

Well, I guess it would make sense that a drug designed to help people have sex would lead to the spread of AIDS and other STDs… but c’mon! Viagra as a party drug? Puh-lease.

Joe Francis, Girls Gone Wild Creator, Fined Up The Wazoo…

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

I got your community service right here!

I got your community service right here!

Looks like the founder of Girls Gone Wild is in some trouble…

The founder of “Girls Gone Wild” videos featuring young women who take off their tops was fined 0,000 on Monday for violating rules designed to prevent exploitation of minors.

Joe Francis, 33, also was ordered by a federal judge to perform 200 hours of community service and was placed on two years’ probation as part of a plea agreement he reached with the Justice Department last September.

In pleading guilty to the two felony counts, Francis admitted he knowingly included footage of two females in his “Ultimate Spring Break” video series without having legible documentation of their ages, as required by law.

Prosecutors say the 2002 footage in question showed two under-age girls, both 17 years old, engaging in sexually explicit acts.

During Monday’s sentencing hearing, Francis’ lawyer, Aaron Dyer, described his client as a “quality individual” who was not involved in the actual filming and had admitted only that he had failed to keep proper records.

But Justice Department prosecutor Brent Ward told the judge that Francis created a culture in his company where women were plied with alcohol and taken to hotel rooms to be filmed “with little or no regard for their age, and without any regard for record-keeping” requirements.

The plea deal settled a similar case brought in Florida, where some of the videos were filmed, against Francis’s California-based company, Mantra Films Inc.

In Florida last month, Mantra was fined .6 million, and Francis was ordered with other company employees to perform community service. He is appealing that part of the sentence.

Outside the courthouse on Monday, Francis said he was singled out for prosecution because of the high-profile nature of his “Girls Gone Wild” videos and because the “government needs to make an example.”

Interesting side note:  The judge was going to give him 300 hours of community service, but knocked it down to 200 when he learned the Girls Gone Wild DVDs constitute 100 hours of community service already.  =)

Cheating On Your Spouse Becomes A Sex Crime…

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

I know lots of guys out there who’ve suffered from “That cheating bitch” syndrome who would dance with joy at hearing this

DETROIT, United States (AFP) - Philanderers beware: spouses caught cheating in Michigan could end up spending the rest of their life in prison.

And not the emotional kind.

The state’s appeals court recently ruled that extramarital flings can be prosecuted as first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in jail.

“We cannot help but question whether the Legislature actually intended the result we reach here today,” Judge William Murphy wrote in a unanimous Court of Appeals panel, “but we are curtailed by the language of the statute from reaching any other conclusion.”

“Technically,” he added, “any time a person engages in sexual penetration in an adulterous relationship, he or she is guilty of CSC I,” the most serious sexual assault charge in the state’s criminal code.

Michigan still lists adultery as a felony, although no one has been convicted of the offense since 1971.

This is pretty scary.  I bet if more states listed adultery as a felony, you’d see a LOT less cheating going on.

Colleges Push For More Female Engineers

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Well, it looks like colleges are wanting to see more ladies in the geek labs…

ATLANTA - Georgia Tech freshman Val Uyemura caught a glimpse of her future even before she started classes in electrical engineering. “When I went to orientation, they split us up by major and I was the only woman,” Uyemura said.

Uyemura, 18, whose parents have engineering degrees, is one of 87 women out of 855 engineering majors enrolled at the school. Nationally, women make up only about one-fifth of students in engineering programs.

Experts argue that if the United States is to remain competitive with other countries in the engineering field, it will have to find better ways to encourage women to join the profession.

“One of the reasons has to do with the negative stereotype in engineering — the nerd drinking Cokes and eating Twinkies until 3 in the morning,” said William Wulf, president of the National Academy of Engineering. “The really important attribute of an engineer is creativity. Somehow that’s not what high school girls are hearing about.”

The U.S. lags behind countries such as China and India in producing engineers and scientists out of college each year, and women and minorities are key to improving that standing, Wolf said. They bring the diverse perspectives needed for the innovation that can set the U.S. apart, he said.

A 2003 study by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender found that females choose other careers because they don’t see engineering as a way to help others. The study, conducted over 17 years, followed Michigan students from 6th grade through college and beyond.

Georgia Tech offers annual engineering camps for middle- and high-school girls, and the university’s students and alumni regularly visit schools to talk to science and math classes. A mentoring program also connects female engineering majors in their third and fourth years with freshmen who want to major in engineering.

Still, female enrollment hasn’t changed much at the Atlanta university in the last decade, and programs elsewhere meant to encourage women to join the field have generally proven ineffective.

Personally, I think this is a great initiative.  More female engineers means more male engineers get a chance to hook up.  And then they can create really smart offspring that go on to invent all kinds of cool stuff!  It’s win-win!

Musical Condoms Invented (No, Really!)

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

So I guess some condom company in Hong Kong is trying to innovate by adding smooth tunes to their latex.

Forget chocolates or roses this Valentine’s Day — a gift of musical condoms is bound to be more entertaining.

Hong Kong’s Ondo Creation, which makes designer condoms, hopes its Idom sheathes will put a more romantic spin on safe sex — and reduce the risk of a slap on the face that a pack of six might elicit among some conservative Asians.

The Idom itself doesn’t sing — but the mint, strawberry, chocolate and banana flavored condoms come in an attractive package with a music CD to get you in the mood for love.

“We create an environment for lovers who would like to try a different experience,” said Victor Tsang who runs Ondo Creation.

“We try to create products that are not embarrassing, but very trendy and hip. It’s a lifestyle product,” he added.

My only question is… how do you fit the CD in your wallet?  =)

Amsterdam Honors Prostitutes With A Statue…

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

We all know of the famous Red Light District in Amsterdam where all the sex workers hang out.  Well, now it looks like the city is erecting (ha haa) a statue in honor of all these  hard working women (and men, apparently) who probably do more for the local economy than all the legalized drugs do.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam’s red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world.

The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported.

“In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength,” Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP.

ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.

So prostitutes everywhere can be satisfied to know that their work has now been immortalized.  Though, I’m thinking they could have done a better job of what the statue could look like.  =)

What Do You Think Of The Art Of Approaching?

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Okay all of you out there in cyberspace…

With the upcoming release of my new course Renegade Rapport, it’s important to remember that it’s the next phase beyond The Art Of Approaching.  I’m hoping that anyone interested in getting their hands on Renegade Rapport will have already experienced the Art Of Approaching on it’s own, since a lot of fundamentals are listed in that course.

So here’s your chance to let me know:  What do you think of the Art Of Approaching?  Did you like it?  How has it helped you?  Would you recommend it to anyone?

Let me know your answers in the comments section of this entry.

The Air Force Vs. Playboy

Monday, January 15th, 2007

So the news is all abuzz about an Air Force Staff Sergeant, a hottie by the name of Michelle Manhart (one of the best real-life porno names I’ve ever heard), who posed nude for Playboy, and then was promptly relieved of duty.

(On a side note, I heard she had a MySpace page up with lots of other photos, but it was getting slammed, so MySpace either took it down, or she did. One of the two. That’s a shame, I would have liked to have seen it. Most likely a lot of sick-o’s were contacting her with lewd propositions.)

For those of you who don’t know what’s up, check it out…

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) — An Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates, officials said Thursday.

In February’s issue, hitting newsstands this week, Michelle Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline “Tough Love.”

The following pages show her partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.

“This staff sergeant’s alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force’s core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do,” Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.

Manhart told Playboy that she considers herself as standing up for her rights.

“Of what I did, nothing is wrong, so I didn’t anticipate anything, of course,” Manhart, 30, told The Associated Press. “I didn’t do anything wrong, so I didn’t think it would be a major issue.”

Manhart, who is married with two children, joined the Air Force in 1994, spending time in Kuwait in 2002. She trains airmen at Lackland.

Is it just me, or isn’t this the most RETARDED thing you’ve ever heard of?

It’s the freakin’ MILITARY! Guys are going out and putting their lives on the line! This is one of the best recruting tools I’ve ever seen for the armed forces! “Hey, check it out, we got hotties working for us! Come kill shit to impress them!”

I gotta admit, if I was over in Iraq right now, I’d want a few chicks who looked like Manhart over there. Lord knows the military isn’t teeming with hotties. Why not encourage it?

I am fully in support of Michelle Manhart in this debackle. Where’s Clinton when you need him? You know he wouldn’t put up with these kind of shenanegans.

Brittany Spears: Ultimate Party Girl

Monday, January 15th, 2007

So the train wreck that was once Brittany Spears continues…

Little after they went public about their romance, Britney Spears is giving her man, Isaac Cohen, a lesson on how celebrities like to spend their time.

According to recent reports, the fresh couple has been spotted spending their time in the Hugh Hefner suite of a Las Vegas hotel on Saturday night.

Although Britney claimed she was there with work purposes, sources confirmed to People magazine that the two stayed in the Fantasy Tower wing of The Palms hotel where a room costs as much as $40,000 a night.

The luxurious suite with amazing views boasts a jacuzzi pool, a glass elevator, an eight-foot rotating bed and a fully stocked bar.

A source who spotted the couple told People: “They seem very happy together.”

Britney Spears and model-actor Isaac Cohen were seen dancing and smoking cigarettes at gay nightclub 81/2 for about an hour before returning to their luxury suite.

Not so long ago, rumors were the pop singer was negotiating a 20-week, $15 million exclusive performance contract with Palms Hotel and Casino in Vegas so this might be part of the deal.

According to Page Six, Britney is far from shy when it comes to showing up in public with her boyfriend. Britney Spears took her new love to the opening of the Sideways Restaurant & Lounge in L.A. Thursday night.

The pair “ordered tons of the kobe sliders and Louisiana crab cakes,” said a source, who added, “They drank a lot of vodka cranberry cocktails.” The couple then made out at the table for all to see, “engaging in major public displays of affection.”

Last week, Britney and her K-Fed look-alike were seen cruising around Marina del Ray, California, on a private powerboat. The next night they met up at the W Hotel’s Whiskey Blue bar in Westwood.

Britney, who filed for divorce from Kevin Federline in November, and Isaac have been dating for a month now and it looks like they’re making progress.

The Las Vegas trip was Britney’s first appearance after hosting a New Year’s Eve bash at the Pure nightclub where she reportedly fainted from too much alcohol although her representatives denied the rumors.

Not only has she popped out two kids to the world’s biggest trailer trash “baby daddy,” but she’s apparently a plastic surgery addict AND a hard drinker, smoker, partier.  If she’s lucky, she’ll end up looking like Tara Reid.  If she isn’t, she’ll end up looking like this.

That’s the problem with party girls.  Once they get older, their partying starts to show. Brittany ain’t so sexy no more.

Man Files Lawsuit To Take Wife’s Name

Monday, January 15th, 2007

So I found this interesting news article about a guy who wanted to take on his wife’s last name, instead of the traditional “other way around.” Check it out.

LOS ANGELES - Mike Buday isn’t married to his last name. In fact, he and his fiancee decided before they wed that he would take hers. But Buday was stunned to learn that he couldn’t simply become Mike Bijon when they married in 2005.

As in most other states, that would require some bureaucratic paperwork well beyond what a woman must go through to change her name when marrying.

Instead of completing the expensive, time-consuming process, Buday and his wife, Diana Bijon, enlisted the
American Civil Liberties Union and filed a discrimination lawsuit against the state of California. They claim the difficulty faced by a husband seeking to change his name violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

“Diana and I feel strongly about gender equality for both men and women,” Buday said. “I think the most important thing in all of this is to bring it to a new level of awareness.”

Mark Rosenbaum, legal director of the ACLU in Southern California, said it is the first federal lawsuit of its kind in the country. “It’s the perfect marriage application for the 17th century,” Rosenbaum said. “It belongs in the same trash can as dowries.”

Isn’t a Buday that thing that squirts water into your ass? No wonder he wanted it changed.

Anyway, this is the ultimate example of being pussy-whipped. Just because ONE DUDE out there is gay enough to give up his last name, means that we have to have some type of legal battle to make it cool for EVERY guy out there to cut his balls off at will. Jeesh.

Suck it up, man! So what if your kids will be made fun of in French Class! Stand by your heritage! Pussy.

Porn Industry Declares HD-DVD Format War Winner…

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

For some reason I found this article rather interesting.  As a tech geek at heart, I’ve been on the fence about the Blu Ray vs. HD-DVD format war.  I want a PS3, that plays the Blu Ray format, but I also don’t want to commit to something that’s going the way of Betamax and Divx.  The Porn Industry is always on the cutting edge of technology, and the notion that their support of any single format could be the deciding factor in that format’s dominance in the marketplace is very intriguing to me.

Check it…

Las Vegas (NV) - Knowing their audience quite well, the adult entertainment industry holds their annual get together in Las Vegas to coincide with the CES. There is also a very pertinent crossover between the adult and tech industries - porn has a tendency to drive, and be driven, by technology. Which means HD DVD when it comes to high-def.

Quite famously in the war between Betamax and VHS the latter won especially because the adult industry preferred it. If you’ve been around long enough, you probably remember that the very early home video rental stores were primarily responsible for driving Betamax out of the market. And those stores carried almost exclusively pornographic content.

Although the market environments from then do not really compare to today’s home video market, parallels are drawn between the Betamax-VHS battle to the ongoing and escalating fight between Blu-ray and HD DVD. One of the key questions at this year’s CES actually is “Which high-def format will win the current format war - Blu-ray or HD DVD?” Surprisingly, it seems that there is no such question in the minds of the adult industry luminaries.

Putting myself through the arduous trek through the floor of the adult expo I did a quick straw poll on, the virtues of HD DVD versus Blu-ray, and the answer from a dozen companies, big and small, including Pink Visual and Bangbros editor-in-chief, is going into a single direction: HD DVD is the preferred format. Period.

One of the big problems they have with Blu-ray is its expense, followed by its market share. “Blu-ray has superior quality, yes,” said a spokesperson for porn studio Bangbros, “but HD DVD is easier to produce, cheaper to produce and there are more HD DVD players in homes than there are Blu-ray players, for example in the Xbox 360.”

Pink Visual heavily complained about the fact that Blu-ray discs cannot be replicated and a range of other studios, who did not want to be mentioned by name indicated that the cost of going with Blu-ray cancels the technology as a possible HD solution for this industry. “Only bigger studios can afford Blu-ray, and even then it’s not economical,” we were told.

It would seem that either Blu-ray has to do some catching up very quickly. But we got the strange feeling that HD DVD has won the format war already, at least in the porn industry.

How insane is that?  That the adult industry can literally help a new technology dominate the marketplace?

Gives a new meaning to the phrase “pussy power.”

The Mystery Method Civil War

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Okay…

So there were some stirrings going on earlier over the Top 10 list about the rivalry going on between newcomer Mehow and Mystery Method.  The rumor was Mehow was able to steal Mystery away from his own company to team up with him.  (Wierd, I know, but that’s how it seemed.)  I called this feuding with Mehow, jokingly, the “Mystery Method Civil War.”

It appears I was more right than I knew.

It looks like Mystery has launched a new website recently called The Venusian Arts.  It’s a very Double Your Dating-esque site (even has a “Kiss Test” type thing going on) that says it was founded by Mystery himself, along with longtime Mystery Method cohorts Lovedrop and Matador.  You can find more information about it here.

Anyway, at first glance it might just seem to be another Mystery Method site right?

Wrong.

The site’s primarily offering workshops, in addition to the promise of a new book.  So why would Mystery Method open up a new site offering competing workshops and products when it already has it’s primary website and workshop business well established?

Answer:  It wouldn’t.

I got a text message from Mystery over New Years saying that the rumors I’ve been hearing are inaccurate, but that he’s so emotionally detached he didn’t feel like revealing what was really up.  The last time I saw really emotionally detached was when he was splitting with Real Social Dynamics and Project Hollywood was self destructing.
Also, take into account the fact that Mystery Method recently changed their website from www.mysterymethod.com to www.themysterymethod.com.  Why the change?  After all, mysterymethod.com is a well established website!  I’ve heard rumblings that there’s some legal issues going on over that domain name, which was originally owned by Mystery.  That, coupled with this new website makes me think there might be something going on here…

Is Mystery splitting from Mystery Method?  His own company? If so, for what reason?  Is this new site just an extension of his business, or something new entirely?  What role is Mehow playing in all this - if any?  Has there been a split between Mystery and his MM workshop crew?

Is Mystery Method in a state of civil war?

This is something that will definitely be worth watching…

Are Men More Vain Than Women?

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

So I ran across an article by a guy named David Zinczenko who keeps a blog about the “Mysteries of the Sexes” over on Yahoo, and he had a really interesting article about how men are just as concerned about how they look as women.  Check the snippage…

David Zinczenko writes:
But the truth is that men care almost as much about their appearance as Lindsay Lohan cares about New Year’s Eve. The survey I did for my book Men, Love & Sex showed that 9 in 10 men aren’t satisfied with their appearance — and that they’d jump at the chance at changing one particular part of their body if they could. Consider these truths about men and their appearance — and then ask yourself, Who’s really more vain, women…or men?

* Women may buy more shoes, but men drop the big bucks. When asked how much he’d pay for rock-hard abs (if it was only that easy), the average guy would invest $5,000 of his own money in himself. For movie-star looks in general, he’d drop $17,600. The scary fact: Although more women actually pay for cosmetic enhancements, men who seek medical help for their appearance are twice as likely to opt for an invasive cosmetic procedure like liposuction rather than a non-invasive appearance boost.

* Men care more about their boobs than you do. Check this out: Only 34 percent of women surveyed said they’d want bigger breasts, but 38 percent of men said they’d want larger pectoral muscles. (If you were wondering, the circumference of the average man’s chest is two inches larger than that of a woman’s.) Men either have the pecs that are strong enough to break knuckles, or we’re subjected to the ubiquitous man-boob barbs. And that hurts. Beating pecs as the top male body issue by the tiniest of jiggles: Just over 40 percent of guys say the gut is the No. 1 body part they’d like to change.

* $1.1 billion can buy a lot of hair gel. One of a man’s biggest frets comes when he looks down the shower drain and says goodbye to the mane that defines his manhood. American men spend more than $300 million on toupees annually. And $800 million on hair transplants (up to $20,000 for each procedure, which is performed on more than 24,000 men annually-and just 7,000 women).

Personally, I don’t think this is a vanity thing, I think it’s an INSECURITY thing.  I’d say that 99% of everything guys do is based around getting a hot chick to sleep with them, and because of our culture, we feel pressure to look a certain way.

I think most guys would be content to be fat, man-boobed, bald slobs if they could still get laid by a hot chick every night.

I’ll say this though - as if I haven’t said it a million times already - looks are NOT as important as many guys think.  It is important to look the best you possibly can, but fretting over your hair, chest size, or whatever is a poor waste of your time.  If you’re going bald, shave your head and be proud of it!  (Bald men are supposed to be extremely verile, after all, and baldness is a look.  Just grow some facial hair to offset it!) If you’re overweight, work to get in shape, but know that having a gut won’t be the end of the world.

I’m sure if you got rid of TV and Magazines telling us what we have to look like, a lot of this “vanity” stuff would go away.
