Tip Tuesday: The First Date

Don't mind if I do.Every Tuesday, we ask people from Team Wingman & Twitter what they would like me to talk about. It could be a general topic or a direct question. I’ll choose the best one and later that day, I’ll write something and give tips addressing that topic or question.

This what I said in 140 characters on Twitter [follow me]:

"Observing the people around you."

If you know me, you know I am a big fan of practice over reading. You just can't replace that kind of real-world experience.

It's the reason why companies prefer people who have already worked in their industry. Why hire a rookie when you can hire a seasoned veteran?

At the same time, I get it. It's not that easy to just go out there and do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing...

Truth of the matter is, most people don't know what they need to do in order to improve their social skills. This is why most people lean toward reading -- to gain understanding and knowledge and feel better about what they're trying to do.

"Using football to meet
more women."

This post is meant specifically for football fans.

This post was inspired by the VERY annoying Jets fan screaming and slapping her hands on the bar everytime she saw a Jets player on the screen. I loathe you.

For the next 6 months, every Sunday, Monday night and some Thursday nights -- and if you love college football, Saturdays -- will be consumed by football.

A future player.Every Thursday, I will put up a top ten list of awesomeness, with short descriptions and tips. Feel free to laugh, enjoy and pass them around.

"Top 10 Ways to
Touch Women"

People ask me what's the biggest mistake guys make when meeting women. Touching women is a close second to approaching women.

I tell my clients, "if you're not touching her, you're just having conversation."

If you wonder why you're always that guy in the "Friend's Zone," this may be the reason.

The only way to truly have her see you as more than a friend is to create a state that gets her to think about you romantically.

Flirting is the overall tool to do that and within flirting, touching is the most important factor.

Today, you are going to get 10 ways you can initiate natural contact, while showing her you're interested.

Riot With The Wingman And The Second Glass

The Riot is coming to NYC."Win The Experience Of Tasting Amazing Wine And Partying With The Wingman in NYC"

Often, I recommend going to wine tastings as a way to meet women. Well, one of the biggest and best tastings is coming to New York -- and you can win the opportunity to have me as your wingman for the night.

Wine Riot, hosted by Second Glass, isn’t your typical wine tasting. Besides trying over 250 different wines from all over the world, you get to party with your best friends and other awesome people. If you’re tech-savvy, you can even use their Mobile App to mark your favorite wines as you taste so you can purchase them the next time you hit the wine bar or store.

Don’t know anything about wine? That’s ok! They have 20-minute crash course seminars to make sure you’re up to “sniff” when it comes to your grape game. No question is a stupid question, various wine experts will be scattered around the floor and answer any question you have.

There will also be a photo booth (which can be awesome), a DJ, food from the likes of Luke’s Lobster, Cabot Cheese, Taza Chocolate and most importantly, people to meet!

Second Glass has appointed me as their Wingman Ambassador for this month’s Wine Riot. I’ll be here to guide you along the way to make sure you have the best time possible, whether you’re single, going out in a group, with your crush or taking someone out on a date. 

One lucky guy will get me as their wingman for up to four hours. Imagine being able to go to one of the most social events of the year and have The Professional Wingman at your disposal?! You’ll get to meet tons of women -- make some connections -- and have a blast while drinking some of the best wines in the world.

Here’s what you need to do to enter:

  1. Fill out the form below and tell us why you want to riot with me.
  2. Press Submit.

That’s it. Deadline for entry is September 19th at 12PM EST. The winner will be announced live on Twitter & Facebook later that day and we will be documenting the whole process both on The Professional Wingman [Twitter] [Facebook] and the Second Glass [Twitter] [Facebook] right through the Wine Riot, Saturday, September 24th at the Skylight One Hanson in Williamsburg, New York.

If you’re interested in going, there are 3 times you can to go. Check out the details and be sure to get tickets!

Trust me, you will NOT want to miss this event.
