True, nothing deflates your mojo more than a beautiful woman who turns you down flat. However, rejection really isn't such a bad event when you think about it. Once you understand why women reject men, you can separate yourself from the crowd and dramatically improve your chances of success.

Here are some quick tips to short-circuit a woman's rejection impulse and instantly make a memorable first impression.

Rule 1: Actively convey traits that women seek Believe it or not, most women are out there looking for the same thing: a man who is healthy, confident, sincere, reliable and stable. From the moment you first approach any woman, make sure your appearance, words and actions speak to these cues.

Notice there are two adjectives I did not include: rich and studly. Most women are not actively seeking these qualities. If you come across a woman who is...run.

Rule 2: Act like a man Women want men who, well...act like men. This means you've got to show some virility. You are virile when you show spirit, strength, vigor or power. Remember, those with power rarely feel the need to flaunt it or tell others how powerful they are. The key here is coming across as confident and secure in who you are.

Make sure your appearance, speech, and behavior convey these cues, or you'll get pegged as a stereotypical "nice guy" and wind up relegated to the status of "friend." The more relaxed, confident, and genuine you are, the more likely you will be to intoxicate her with your virility.

In other words, avoid trying to impress her, and just be yourself.

Rule 3: Respect women Stupid, overused and cliched pick-up lines don't work because they tend to expose you as a romantic fraud. Women have remarkably strong BS detectors, so don't think you'll get away with putting on an act and being someone you're not.

If you want to approach a woman without poisoning your chances for success, just tell her she's beautiful, why you think so, and ask if she'll talk to you.

Rule 4: Sex is more than instant gratification Women are just as interested in sex as men - they just approach it differently. The key is not to seem to eager to get them in the sack. Women find this incredibly annoying, as it indicates you don't take them seriously and have nothing to offer beyond a few cheap thrills. So here's the bomb: forget about sex altogether during your first few dates.

That's right, don't mention sex in conversation unless she does, and then take a passive attitude toward it. Be sure to touch her, but only affectionately and not with the intent of turning her on. Not only will you make a fantastic impression, but she'll end up wanting you more due to the simmering sexual tension.

Like a diamond, the less common you are, and the harder you are to sleep with, the more her desire will build until she finds you irresistible.

Rule 5: Looks are not everything You do not need the body of a Greek God to attract women. Just because men are attracted to the form of woman's body doesn't mean that a woman's top priority is dating a supermodel.

Of course, good looks never hurt. But for women your appearance counts more (i.e., your grooming, attire and posturing). Your appearance communicates who you really are because you have complete control over it. The better your appearance, the more self-respect others will think you have. Thus, your outfit, grooming, and posture carry more weight than the shape of your jaw or the breadth of your shoulders.

Make sure your appearance appeals to the broadest range of women. To accomplish this, clean yourself up and choose clothes that are fashionably neutral yet appealing. Also, the simple act of standing up straight and appearing relaxed will by itself move you up the "attractive" scale a few notches.

Rule 6: Your worst enemy is your own mouth Your mouth is a mad dog that's best kept muzzled. Remember, just because a woman hasn't rejected you doesn't mean you've got her in the bag. You have a long way to go, my friend, and 99% of rejections after the initial approach occur because of what the man says.

Don't flirt with disaster by discussing religion, politics or sex when first getting to know a woman. Don't invite rejection by volunteering damaging or embarrassing information about yourself. Put your best foot forward and firmly establish your decent qualities before revealing the idiotic mistakes of your past. Be especially careful not to talk about your former girlfriends, love interests or conquests.

Be careful with sarcasm and facetious humor. People who don't know you tend to take your statements literally. Avoid boring conversation topics. Often the best way to get a woman wrapped up and engaged in a great conversation is to simply ask questions and let her do the talking. Why not let her do the conversational legwork if that's what she enjoys most?

Again, no man completely avoids rejection. But it's worth mentioning that rejection isn't always a bad thing. Look at it this way: why on earth would you want a woman who doesn't want you, or is downright rude? If you follow these guidelines and she still turns you down, it's probably for the best. If nothing else, she's brought you one step closer to finding the woman who's trying to find you.

Remember, when a woman rejects you, it's mostly her loss... she really doesn't know what she's missing! Best to spend your valuable time around women who appreciate you for you are.

Season by season we strive to keep up with fashion, and what was once fashionable a few months ago suddenly becomes old fashioned.

It is no wonder therefore, that our closets end up bursting with numerous pairs of trousers, most of them never worn and never to be worn. Talk of handbags, numerous of them, all shapes, sizes and colours! As for dresses, short dresses, long dresses, black dresses, floral dresses all sorts. It is all there!

Even our sheds overflow with all sorts of unused gadgets and tools. And yet still we go out and buy even more. And yet we still think we need more, never feel satisfied. Before the new season even begins we are already planning on what we need to acquire next. It's almost like a never ending race to maintain our self image.

Even for our newborn babies, who soon outgrow their clothes, from day one we shower them with unnecessary clothes, toys and gadgets. Oh yes, they too soon join in the race to keep up with our self image. We accumulate not because we need to, but because we have an image to maintain. It is very me, me, me thinking at work.

Take a new perspective today, and instead of worrying so much about your self image, think of others. Let go of the need to accumulate, be considerate and practical, go through your closet, and get rid of that which is not of practical use to you. If you have never worn it, or don't wear it, it is basically of no use to you.

Clear out the clutter, donate to charity, and give your clothes to somebody who really needs them. Just think that someone somewhere will be forever so grateful for that jacket or whatever it may be you give away. It may seem like a trivial donation to you but to another it will be the best outfit they have ever received.

Your rewards will be personal satisfaction for helping a good cause. You will even feel lighter, and experts actually say that the physical act of clearing out clutter also aids to release those negative emotions we hold onto such as anger, resentment, grief etc. So you really have nothing to lose but everything to gain. When we let go of the need to uphold our self image, or being led by our egos, we free ourselves and the benefits are not only having more room but emotional, financial and ultimately spiritual.

(Politics, Biology, Physics, Genetics, Darwinism) Remember PNEWS-L (progressive news and views) AT St Johns University? This is the new PNEWS-L with a new name (LifeSci) and it is now a whole lot better. This forum is presently *moderated. At time it will be topic specific *-like it once was-* and I will announce the topics. The prime objective is to attempt a *-higher level of discourse.-*

LifeSci is for the "Science of Life and Death" (and that topic covers a lot of territory) - This list is for those who challenge the prevailing meme. Prevailing views are often popular views but they also tend to be wrong and time and circumstance changes perceptions.

And secondly, there is no real **-absolute truth-**; there are only abstractions and better theories. Life is replication, mutation and adaptation. What we know for sure is that we know NOTHING FOR SURE - (as much as you may think otherwise).

Even life and death and our very existence is theoretical. And **-morality-** is a human construct to justify unjust enrichment and survival so others can be sacrificed for the good of an elite few, those who make the rules and own too much. Being progressive implies moving forward, toward better solutions, but change which benefits those who own the most isn't progressive at all; it is a regressive, backwards moving wrong turn, both immoral and unjust.

Discuss the news, politics, science, and all the rest. here. Anything at all. Challenge all of it. Doubt everything. Life may just be a computer simulation. There are no absolutes in this quantum physical reality. After all, what is reality?
