I was thinking which

products have the biggest effect of respect when wearing it? I have read Rogue Male should give you some nice

respect? What about other products? I know -none products give you the alpha-aura. I have NPA but it does not really

seem to give me any results. what if that does not work, could RM work for me then?
Thanx,
Phinmone

NPA / TE usually makes guys

pissed off, some of them will hit you for no reason or start bar fights (if you OD like crazy, very low chance that

something Extreme like that would happen).

Primal Instinct is your best bet.

I'm getting excellent

"respect" vibes from other males while wearing equal parts Chikara with AE/M - guys falling over backwards to give

me a hand.

PI

does it for me. I dip just the tip of my pinkie in it, spread between both pinkies, rub behind my ears and on my

wrists. It doesn't take much. (Thanks, a.k.a.)

RM does it too. RM is better for pure respect without the threat

(I have used it at work), PI when you want to be a bit more heavy-handed / threatening about it (I used it when

buying my last car).

I'm reading all this and

wondering if there's a product that does the same for us girls too? I'm planning on buying me a ATV QUAD sometime

in December. For some reason salesman don't give us much respect when it comes to "man's toys" ... They see a

woman looking at a forth wheeler is like Hi! so you like the color in that sweetheart?...

Thanx for the advices, I

appreciate it!

So I read PI and RM give you respect. BassMan: you said RM is for pure respect -kind of

product. It think this would be something I would be interested in, thanx.

Any other suggestions?

What

is if I mixed RM and SOE? would this give me the respect and still the people be chatty with me? Or would I send

mixed signals? Any input is appreciated!

The Edge works well for me. I

think Chikara does okay but I have been focusing more on how women react on the days I wear Chikara. Projecting a

take-no-crap attitude often earns you respect up front. Someone once asked me privately how you project that

attitude. The best I could suggest was to look at old John Wayne movies. My walk has sometimes been compared to

his.

Those

things are dangerous....Actually Sesshoumaru I have a atc (3 wheeler )and I had a bad episode sometime in

March of this year. I went to the four peaks mountain and I was having the time of my life riding it had it in

fourth gear took a curve way to close to the edge of a clif lost control of the ATC my first reaction was to put my

foot down to slow down the ATC ( bad move) and my pants got cought under the wheel and there I went rolling down the

clif a few times the ATC landed on me. I was scared! very lucky to say all I had was tons of scratches and bruises

and my favorite pants are gone now. The helmet saved me from head injuries. I heard that 3 wheeler are more

dangerous than the quads and I really love riding those things so I don't want to quit because of what happend to

me. I was careless riding it even when I was told to slow down in taking those curves a few times. I didn't listen

thinking I knew what I was doing. I love the out doors but next time I will be definately more careful. So this is

why I'm trying to get me quad to be safer..

I want to

have that type of attitude.:hammer:
You have to be ready to back it up with actions, and to be willing to

live with the consequences of those actions. Sometimes, I don't choose the best actions, but I have been working

on that all my life.

I don't usually have to worry about being dragged into fights or getting mugged, though.

If you feel confident, you look confident, and people who prey on weaker people will try to avoid preying on you.

this type of attitude you need to back it up. And see that's my problem. I'm usually pretty nice and have a hard

time saying "no" I noticed people take adventage of me since in their eyes I'm nice (weak) and they know I'm an

easy target. I get so fed up at times with myself. There's a few times when I actually had enough and I get an

attitude and say what's really in my mind without caring much of what I say and to whom. Than later on I'm feeling

terrible... :think: Maybe because that is just not my style. But I really wish I could be a lot more like you...

Honest.

Oh, I'm not intentionally

pre-emptive. I give everyone the opportunity to stab me in the back. Sometimes, someone does it. That just helps

me figure out who to trust in the long run and who not to. But I work hard at winning people's respect and trust.

That means something to me.

I think there are some simple

things most people can do to earn immediate respect from strangers:

1) Establish good eye contact. Don't look

down until you have established that you are someone to be respected.

2) Maintain good posture. Good posture

actually helps you feel better about yourself, makes you look more confident, and gives people a better

impression.

3) Develop a POSITIVE sense of humor. If you feel you have to make other people look bad in order

to look good, then you don't know how to look good.

4) Dress well. People treat you better when you look like

you take care of yourself.

5) Be courteous, not a pushover. It's not an act of submission to hold a door for

someone. But you need to say "no" when someone repeatedly asks or demands you to do trivial stuff for them. Such

requests are demeaning.

6) Be assertive. Don't ask permission to do what you need to do. You ask permission

when you are intruding on someone else's property, space, or rights.

7) Defend yourself. There are times when

you need to stand up to someone and say, "I am not taking this."

8)

Take up a martial art or learn basic streetfighting/close combat skills so you can actually defend

yourself.

At the very least, it'll help project confidence during a verbal confrontation.

Not to hijack the thread, but

Brenda, you could go to the ATV store dragging chunks of your old 3-wheeler, and say, "Hey, you guys got something

that won't fall apart just because I flip it off a cliff? This %*(^*% tinkertoy couldn't take it!"
