		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a summer day. You lead your lover into the park. You spread a blanket on the grass and have her lie next to you while both you lie on your backs holding hands.

"This is a test," you say. "Let's see how aware we are. We'll close our eyes and count the sounds we hear."

She closes her eyes. "Okay. I have the first one. I can hear your voice."

"Right, I'll count on my hands. That's one for you."

"And I hear my own voice."

		<description><![CDATA[Many of the people for whom I've written dating profiles have asked my advice on photos. I thought I'd create a small guide for them and for you.

Feel free to forward this to your friends out there who might have no idea how to create the photos they need to make their dating profile work.

Your photos are the most important element to your success in online dating. No matter how great your text or text that you hire someone like myself to write for you, the people who check out your profile are going to look at your photos first before deciding to get to know more about you.

		<description><![CDATA[Joan Jett might not give a damn about her bad reputation (old reference, I know). But for us Charismos, our social reputation and our ability to leverage it is our life blood.

I’ve noticed a bias in most communication materials toward perfecting the first impression. This makes sense as a marketing technique to people who're starting out. However, my experience out there in the business and dating world is that the happiest people with the most social opportunities are those who successfully create positive social reputations and build relationships.]]></description>

"Mexico city is cheap this time of year, don't you think?"

"Oh yes. It's cheap but yet the service is good there."

"Yeah. It rocks there." 

"Um, yeah."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion Dan is a wonderful instructor for Charisma Arts. <a href="http://http://charismaarts.com/dan-and-bens-new-york-bootcamp-adventure">Check out the messages his clients sent me after last weekend's Charm School Bootcamp in New York City.</a> 

But it hasn't always been a smooth path for Dan. Here's a story about what happened a few years ago when Dan and I were out together and encountered trouble. I hope you enjoy it.

A girl smiled at Dan. Let's call her Belle.

Dan walked over. "What's a girl like you doing sitting on a stool in a place like this?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there's one thing we've learned the last few years it's that being Zen is attractive. One of the most amazing people at being attractive through Zen is our London Charisma Arts' instructor Harry. He radiates an aura of humbleness and seems able to turn around the most thoughtless interactions into something meaningful and fun. People are drawn to his ego-less vibe and women find his lack of neediness irresistible.

Being unattached to outcome and ego, ironically is much more likely to attract people into your life and allow others to think you're cool, than trying to prove yourself. Not that you'll care about your rep after you've become a Zen master. :)

We've created a ten question interactive test for you. We hope you have fun taking it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a kid I used to lie in bed at night and fantasize about growing facial hair. I thought that if I wore a mustache, people would have to do what I said.

Spend time with children and you'll learn a simple truth - they're obsessed with power. It makes sense. They're the least powerful people in the world. They're told when to sleep, what to eat, what to wear, what to think. They dream of being bosses or police officers or international super criminals.

After becoming adults we realize few power trips are worth the trouble. Being the boss at work means you have responsibilities, sporting muscles means you spend your days at the gym, even politicians have to appease voters.

But I was fascinated from the moment I understood the concept of being sexy. "You mean to tell me, people want to be around and help you just because you have a hard to explain but omni-present aura? Where do I sign up?"
Sexy people have power over others without the overhead of other roads to power. Sexy is cheap, portable and pollution free.

But understanding what makes a person sexy has been an uncertain quest for me with lots of stutter steps. I hope to share some of that journey with you.

I remember saying years ago I would never live in New York City. "It's too loud, too crowded, too in love with itself. I hate Jay-Z. Why can't he wear his hat the right way?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the season between Thanksgiving and Christmas I find myself spending most of my social time at holiday gatherings. These include office parties, networking functions as well as themed social events. What I like about this time of year and the holidays is that there is always something natural to talk about. Wayne recently stressed the importance of talking about things your conversational partner can relate to in his article about <a href="http://charismaarts.com/the-secret-to-hooking-people-into-your-conversations">The Secret To Hooking People Into Your Conversations</a>. At Charisma Arts we also stress taking conversations off the beaten path beyond the reams of small talk in order to access intimacy, creativity and genuineness in our interactions.]]></description>
