Ditch the Act: 2 Secrets to Real Connection with Women

Too many men are acting around women and it hurts them from making a real connection. Today we provide actionable advice on building genuine emotional connections with women.

We are going to talk about the 2 secrets to making real connections with women: being genuine and emotionally powerful.

Real men have passion and aren’t afraid to express it. Passionate men are always more attractive

Passion isn’t a personality, it is a man who has strong feelings and can connect with them to be a more powerful man

Secret 1: Be Genuine

Men have a common tendency to change their personalities to please potential partners.

This is unsustainable for a long-term positive relationship

The Solution: Self-Discovery (Not the Cliché Kind):

What are your core values?

What are your passions and interests?

What is your purpose in life?

Being genuine leads to confidence and attracts genuine connections.

Secret 2: Be Emotionally Powerful

The Misconception: emotional intelligence equals weakness.

Emotional power is about understanding and focusing your emotions.

We must learn to recognize and articulate our emotions.

Jesus’ example: Cry, Anger, Battle, Passion, Obedience, Laughter

Women value men who understand their emotional landscape.

Knowing your emotions allows you to control them.

Start working on these first, before you dive into the dating pool
