If you haven’t had a chance to check out the BRAND NEW version of the main website, it has been live for a little more than 24 hours now. If you’ve visited the site in the past, I think you’re in for a welcome surprise–starting with the addition of VIDEO and PICTURES. There are also a BUNCH of new features and resources now built-in for you.
You’re going to see us focus on “real results for real guys” even more fully than we have in the past. Lately I’ve become absolutely more convinced than ever that the VAST MAJORITY of us out there are pretty normal men…go figure.
Yet, any resources on the practical, effective way to get better with women apart from going after the “clubber” lifestyle, becoming a pickup artist, and/or subscribing to a plethora of new-age buzzwords seem to be VERY RARE.
But I know some of you out there still like to shoot pool, listen to the rock station, go fishing, hit the trails and/or park a ’10 Camaro next to the pickup truck in your garage.
You’re evolved and refined, but still a real man to the core. And it’s time to succeed with the highest quality women on Earth, because they’re waiting for us to show up.
This new site’s for you. Grab a cold one and enjoy.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
P.S. Yes. That’s an X & Y Communications toolbar in that screenshot above. You can get one of your own for free right here.
After all, we announced a photo contest in the last newsletter for guys, and we’ve chosen the winners. What’s more, we’ve already produced a video featuring the results:
Now for the benefit of you all who aren’t newsletter subscribers (even though you should be) the contest was very simple: Send me your best pic of yourself with a high quality woman.
So you betcha: Every single pic you see in that video above is 100% real and contributed by readers of the newsletter, Twitter followers, podcast listeners and/or Facebook friends.
No models. No actors. Just real-world results from real guys (and the real women who made it possible).
Now if you read tonight’s newsletter, I promised to introduce you to the winners. For sure, everyone who contributed a pic that made it to the video is getting a copy of my newest and yet-to-be-released book Chick Whispering.
But there are two Grand Prize Winners who stood out:
First, there’s Hugo. I kid you not, Hugo must have send me 20 or 25 different “entries”, and every one of them knocked me out.
As you can see from the “boxing gloves” picture below, the knockouts are frequent occurrences, obviously. In case you’re wondering about that pic, by the way, it was a little over-the-top for the video which is why I went with another one of his pics (shown).
But nonetheless, what really got my attention about the “boxing glove” pic was where it was taken. That’s not some sleazy club, gentlemen. That’s his kitchen.
Add in the simple fact that Hugo sent me a ton more like unto these (including that third pic you see here just for good measure), and he walked off with the victory.
Nice job, Hugo.
Next, Hector. “Hector The Collector” to be precise. At least that’s what he refers to himself as in his Internet marketing videos on Facebook.
Well, that’s a first-class hottie that Hector’s hangin’ with in his winning photo. No doubt.
But now it’s time to tell you the real reason why Hector won.
It goes something like this. You see, I have this thing for guys who overcome “limiting beliefs” and/or challenging obstacles that life throws at them.
Hector classifies. According to him, he has lost one hundred and fifty pounds in the last two years or so. He also claims he has “about 50 more to go”.
So if Hector can win with women, what’s your excuse?
Way to go Hector…you’re a winner around here any day of the week.
Great job by everyone who entered. And yes…we’ll be running another contest soon.
Today I finally got around to seeing Up, the latest Disney/Pixar release.
I have to admit that I knew next to nothing about the flick prior to actually checking it out, except that: 1) It was Pixar, and therefore a “must see”, and… 2) …about two dozen people have called or e-mailed me telling me that Emily and I needed to see it.
Sometimes it’s sort of fun to go into a movie not at all knowing what to expect. This was one such occasion.
All it took was the first fifteen minutes actually. By then I was completely and utterly emotionally exhausted.
Without giving away the entire plot, there is about a five or eight minute segment there at the beginning that chronicles a lifelong relationship between a man and a woman (Carl and Ellie) as it should be.
Now if you’ve seen any Pixar production before, you are already well acquainted with their fanatical attention to detail. The rat-trap pizza delivery truck in Toy Story with “YO” on the tailgate comes to mind, as does Sally The Porsche’s insanely accurate low-RPM engine note in Cars. Only a 911’s legendary flat-six sounds like that. And as women go, she’s all 911.
And without giving too much away, let’s just say Pixar continued the tradition with great dignity in Up…particularly in that first segment.
It’s far from a comprehensive treatise on relationship management, or anything. But whoever wrote the screenplay and whoever animated it had clearly been in love before.
What’s more, they must have been in love and been in a healthy long-term relationship before.
Every little nuance jam-packed in that brief stretch of film is mind-blowing. It’s a rapid-fire animated depiction of how two people who genuinely love and respect each other live their lives together.
If you have any emotion in your soul whatsover, you are left breathless afterward. Emily was in tears, clutching my hand firmly as she sobbed. And if you know her, that’s not typically her style.
I’ll admit I was fighting back the water works myself. Pixar just flat-out gets it.
Simply put, any man who believes that spending one’s life with one great woman is for sissies might want to see this flick, unless he’s dead-set against changing his opinion. Then he needs to make it a point to skip it.
And furthermore, any wannabe PUA types out there who think the ultimate goal for their relationships with women is to notch their bedposts as many times as possible might want to avoid seeing Up also…lest they come face-to-face with what depth looks like in a long-term relationship.
But if you are in a relationship that matters to you–or aspire to–do yourself a favor and go see Up. Walk out after fifteen minutes for all I care. But see the beginning.
Now granted, if you’ve seen the movie Pixar indeed plays a dirty little trick on you over the course of the rest of the movie. At the beginning sequence you’re supposed to believe that something was actually missing from Carl and Ellie’s life together…and that the opportunity to fulfill on it was tragically taken.
Yes, I fell for it. I silently ruminated upon the fact that I’m glad that Emily and I have made it a point to go on “adventures” together, particularly insofar as traveling and seeing the world.
But at the end, Pixar takes the overall message to a whole new level by demonstrating that love in itself is the adventure. It’s what life is all about. And it’s not to be missed.
And neither is Up…if you think you’re man enough to handle it.
First of all, rest assured I have no problem with women. We love women around here.
Actually, I have no problem with chicks, either.
And by that I don’t mean the fuzzy future KFC delights seen to your left . In fact, I’m not even referring to actual female human beings.
I’m talking about the very term “chicks” itself.
But apparently someone else does have a problem with “chicks”.
Granted, it doesn’t happen often, but every once in a while I get an angry e-mail purporting that I should immediately cease and desist from usage of the word in my favorite context for usage thereof.
Almost invariably it’s the name of the podcast, The Chick Whisperer, that gets them going.
