God First
Contain your ego
The best outfit in your closet is your suit

READ, READ, READ
Shoes: Zara man, Kenneth Cole, Hugo Boss
If she gives you her number, call her once and leave a message. Only ONCE. IF SHE LIKES YOU, SHE'LL RETURN YOUR CALL. IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED
You miss 100% of the shots you do not take
Never invite a woman back to your house on the first date. even if you have the best intentions, it will come across WRONG

Happiness like sadness is a choice
TRUST is the best aphrodisiac. A woman that trusts you will do most legal things in bed
Forget the past
Get a 401K plan
Yes, she will talk about your sexual encounter in graphic details that would make any porn star blush

Passion is as useful as skills
How you speak says a lot about you. Be Articulate
If you want to please a woman in bed JUST ASK HER WHAT SHE LIKES OR DISLIKES, don't assume you know, chances are you don't know. Communication is key
If you have something to hide, she will find it.

Honesty is like good medicine only use as directed
Kiss the back of her neck, her lower back, her inner thighs

Unless you are one of the Sopranos or a pimp a watch is the only jewelry you need

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



OBAMA an ELITIST? Ask yourself: how has "elitism" become a bad word in American politics? There is simply no other walk of life in which extraordinary talent and rigorous training are denigrated. We want elite pilots to fly our planes, elite troops to undertake our most critical missions, elite athletes to represent us in competition and elite scientists to devote the most productive years of their lives to curing our diseases. And yet, when it comes time to vest people with even greater responsibilities, we consider it a virtue to shun any and all standards of excellence. When it comes to choosing the people whose thoughts and actions will decide the fates of millions, then we suddenly want someone just like us, someone fit to have a beer with, someone down-to-earth—in fact, almost anyone, provided that he or she doesn't seem too intelligent or well educated
