How to Talk to an Attractive Woman



How to Approach the Woman of Your Dreams
You see her from across the room. You heart beats faster, and you are weak in the knees. This woman is gorgeous. So, what do you do? How do you make an introduction and start a conversation with this attractive woman?  Simple. Use the following steps and make a lasting impression on the girl of your dreams.

Confident

First, you will need to bring your “A” game.  Don’t head over to her and begin stuttering and staring. Instead, build up your confidence and then make a strong lasting impression. Think of the infamous James Bond. He is calm, cool, and collective. You should be the same when you approach your dream girl.

Watch the eyes

Next, watch her eyes. It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. And, in most cases, this is true. Before you approach this goddess of beauty, be sure to make eye contact with her. Her eyes will tell you what she is thinking. They can signal if she is annoyed, irritated, or just plain bored. They can also give you a good clue as to your chances. However, unless she looks downright disgusted with you, you may still give it a shot. Because most of people are visual creatures, she may judge you by your looks first. But, don’t despair if you don’t look like a Greek god. If you can be original, sincere, and confident, you may be able to win her over with your other attributes.

Be original

You know she’s beautiful, and chances are good that she does too. So, don’t waste your time telling her how good she looks. She has heard it before. I am not saying don’t ever compliment her, but what I am saying is don’t just walk up to her and say, “You know, you are a very attractive woman.” Trust me, this will get you nowhere. And, please, please don’t use one of those cheesy lines. This will make you look silly and destroy your chances with your dream girl. Instead, come up with an opener that is both original and interesting. If at all possible, find out what her interests are and use one of these topic as a way of starting a conversation.

Be sincere

Don’t use fake lines and fake compliments. Be sincere. Come up with an original introduction, and make sure that it is a sincere one. Don’t compliment her on her singing voice when you know she sounds awful. She will know that you are lying. It will also make her think that this is a pattern.

Be brief

Finally, be brief. Know when to walk away. Don’t let the conversation drag on. Remember, you want to give her something to think about. Leave her wanting more and not less of you. So, excuse yourself. If she is still interested, she will ask for your number or another way to contact you.

Talking to a beautiful woman can be intimidating. However, it can successfully be done using the tips above.

Will Barbie Dolls Get a Make-Over?

 


Barbie has been the symbol of the both childhood and feminine beauty since she was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler. Barbie’s hour glass shape is recognized world-wide. And, it is that very shape that has received criticism for years. Many people argue that her shape is not the shape of a normal 19 year old girl. They also claim that Barbie’s shape has lead to unhealthy ideas about what beauty is.

Some of those people would like to see Barbie’s shape changed. They want the doll to represent what a real nineteen year old girl would look like. Artist Nickolay Lamm recent did just that. He designed a 3-D version of the world famous doll. So, what do I think?

I think it would be great if they did make a more realistic doll. Although Barbie did not give me unrealistic ideas about what ‘true beauty’ is, I was saddened during my childhood not to see a doll that better represented me – an African American girl. It wasn’t until 1980 that an African American Barbie doll put in an appearance. I was absolutely thrilled. I was so thrilled that I formed a love for dolls. To this day, I love to collect dolls. I especially love to collect the different versions of African American Barbie doll.

So, something as simple as a doll can affect the way young girls view themselves. I can see how Barbie’s large breasts and thin waistline would give some girls a complex. I am also forced to admit that I did envy Barbie’s shape as a young girl. I was tall and thin. I did have a tiny waist at the time, but I certainly didn’t have her chest or her long, flowing blonde hair.  Fortunately, I didn’t develop an eating disorder or long to be someone I wasn’t. 

Although I don’t think Mattel will change Barbie’s looks any time soon, I do think they should give some consideration to making Barbie a little more realistic. What do you think? Did you ever wish you looked differently than the way you do today? Share your thought.
