Ladies, FORGET EVERYTHING YOUVE EVER READ THAT TELLS YOU MEN LIKE IT WHEN WOMEN ARE UPFRONT WITH WHAT THEY WANT

This is not true. It just isn’t. Men like to feel as if they are giving you more than you’re asking for, it strokes their massive, erect, egos perfectly in your favor.

Example: A POT was telling me about his home in Italy, how he rents it out as an air bnb and wants to visit soon to redecorate a bit. I pretended to be so interested in the topic of interior design (“Are you going for something more modern? Or planning to interpret aspects of Versailles….”). What I absolutely DIDNT ask him:

“Can I come?”

After talking about the decor for a few more moments he asked me how many times I’ve been to Italy. I told him I have never been. I could hear the smile spread across his face and I already knew what was coming next

He invited me to come to Italy. That simple. I didn’t have to ask, because I know I SHOULDNT NEED to.

He is so excited to take me and I know part of the reason why is because in his head it was his idea. Men love to think they came up with things on their own. Plant the seed, let him think the idea grew organically, and reap the benefits.

I wanted to share some info on getting a DBA and how it’s helped me. A DBA stands for “doing business as.” So for example Katy Perry’s real name is Katy Hudson, but she does business as her stage name which is Katy Perry.
