I watched "Casino Royale," the James Bond movie with Daniel Craig, the other night. He made a comment in the movie that I think is so appropriate to what guys experience in dating. It's also appropriate with all the information being spread around on the Internet these days with respect to "seduction," attraction, etc.

During the game of Texas Hold 'em at the casino, James Bond makes a comment about not playing the other person's cards. Instead, you play your opponents.

What he means here is that in the game of poker, people are doing their best to represent the hand they've been dealt, and with their posture and betting strategy they create the perception they want. Strong bet, strong hand.

Maybe.

No one wants to appear weak in a game of poker, unless it suits his strategy, to draw someone into feeling a false sense of confidence.

It's all a game of deception, really.

Do you ever feel like this when you're trying to meet and attract women? That it's all a game of who can bluff the other person?

I sure do.

Or, at least I used to...

I felt like I was in a game of high-stakes poker, and I didn't have a clue which cards were in my hand. I was bluffing, but I wasn't sure if I needed to. In fact, I suspected that my hand was a lot better than I imagined, but I just didn't know what the cards were to carry the attitude behind my bet.

It's hard to put a bunch of chips out there on the table and fake the confidence.

I'm sure you know what a "tell" is, don't you? In poker terms, this is the thing you do that gives away that you're bluffing or lying. Humans all do this, mostly because of the mechanisms of the mind that make it hard for us to live with the tension of not being congruent with our beliefs.

Some people manage to hide their tells better than others, but we all end up giving away the fact that we don't feel good about lying, or that we can't back it up when we fake our confidence.

This inner mind mechanism is the thing that breaks your ability to bluff women, and they are experts at reading your "tells." You can't lie to yourself, because your mind knows when you're not on the level.

Here's a secret that you probably weren't aware of:

Faking confidence usually only works because the woman actually knows you're faking it just to meet her, so she's flattered - for a moment.

But if you're consistently betting with confidence chips that you don't have, sooner or later the house will cut you off.

You can't fake your confidence for too long before a woman will sense it - she'll read your "tells" - and cut you off, too.

Let me ask you:

• If you could, would you like to get rid of your "tells" for good?
  
  
• What if you could finally get a peek at your hand that you're playing and realize that you have a good reason to bet BIG?
  
  
• What if you could stop bluffing with all the bad techniques and "systems" and just be the REAL you for once ... and you would actually ATTRACT women with your own authentic personality?

That's what I have spent my life working on. First I figured out which cards to get rid of (yes, now I'm talking five-card draw here) in my poker hand, and then I discovered how to bet with confidence at the dating table.

But I'm afraid to tell you that it won't be an overnight thing. Yes, your attitude will START to change right away, but that's just the beginning of what you'll experience.

I don't want to make grand claims here, because they sound sales-y and contrived. I just want you to take me up on a no-brainer offer that could change your life.

I want to make you an offer you can't refuse. (Yeah, just like the "Godfather.")

I want you to click this article and take a look at something that could make all the difference in your life. It's a page of information that will put you on track to get the REAL kind of success in life that you want.

It's a life that you live by design, not by default.
