Believing is Seeing

Sean Stephenson once said the greatest lie is "seeing is believing" and he explain it a bit. How I understood it is that we hold back because we don't see that its possible to approach a certain woman, or to talk to a certain guy you have your eye on. Well you have to believe first and then you will see then you will see the results... So I share this Thought of the Day with you... IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT YOURSELF, DON'T ASK ANYONE ELSE TO DO SO. It is virtually impossible not to transmit your doubts and insecurities to Read More →

The Future of MSN Instant Messenger

Much to my irratation I've had to use MSN Messenger to keep in contact with some friends and contacts. Others who use Yahoo! Messenger I've ignored and where possible I've tried to get people onto Skype because of its superior voice quality. Well that may not be the case anymore. There has been a few changes in Microsoft's Internet strategy in the last 12 months or so. Firstly they have been pilloting the Windows Live search engine. And now they've also launched the next version of their IM client, aptly renamed Windows Live Messenger. And Microsoft and Yahoo has also Read More →

How To Make a Woman Comfortable

When you go on the first date, both you and the woman tends to feel uncomfortable. So here is some tips for you guys who don't know what to do.Firstly always know exactly what you are going to do. Know what time and what venue, and know where you will go afterwards. When you setup the date, invite the woman to join you.

My approach is to make sure that I have a good social life and hobbies and interest. Read More →

Mobile Instant Messaging Platform MXIT

MXIT Lifestyle, a Stellenbosch based company launched MXIT, an instant messaging platform about 12 months ago. Its been in development for a few years and must be one of the greatest success stories of its kind ever to come from South Africa because it is experiencing incredible growth. Today I interviewed the CEO, Herman Heunis. And this is the start of a new research project for me, "Mobile Chat/Flirting/Dating in South Africa." If you are interested in being notified when this research will be available send me email to ramon@netucation.co.za and I'll add you to my interest list. Read More →

Meaningless poem from a woman to a guy

A friend of mine emailed me this poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer and asked me what it means if a woman sends (him, a guy) this kind of email. And I'm going to go into more details about what I told him to shed some light on this behaviour. It means nothing much when woman or a guy sends you a poem by another person, especially a well-known one like this. It takes great creative effort to write your own poems. You can read a selection of my own original poems on Allpoetry.com and post feedback on that website. Read More →

Beauty Africa and Moloko birthday party

I accidentally found myself at the Beauty Africa exhibition today briefly meeting with a client from Cape Town who was in Johannesburg attending this event at the Sandton Convention Centre. Well head on over there to meet some gorgeous women and some reall handsome men. As with these types of event and this industry I cannot vouch for how many of the men are straight ;-) Its still running till tomorrow 17 July 2006. Last night I went to Moloko in Rosebank, one of the top nightclubs in Johannesburg and it was like a model convention. The last Read More →

Superman is Dead

Tonight I watched the new Superman Returns movie. A big fan of comic book superheros since I was a young lad. This movie was to say the least a dissappointment in the story. Visually its spectacular but the acting is wooden or dead. Clark Kent and Superman must be the most insecure superhero I know. If only based on his levels of self-confidence even Peter Parker (aka Spiderman) is better. Now I'm going to reprint a part of a newsletter by my friend Stephane Hemon, who teaches unconditional love and sacred sexuality in Montreal, Canada.

“Superman is DEAD!”

Treat Life like a Dance

I've been going for salsa class at Dance Junxion in Rosebank, Johannesburg for the last several weeks. They offer a range of dance styles from ballroom, hip-hop, Latin and Spanish dancing. This is one of the best ways to meet new people who are often single. And its a whole lot of fun. My posture, my confidence and my generally my body language has improved because of this dancing. Now a quote from my favourite philosopher, Alan Watts: "In music though, one doesn't make the end of a composition, the point of a composition. If that was so the Read More →

Spice up your life

Tonight I watched Misstress of Spice, a new movie starring reigning Bollywood queen, Aishwarya Rai and American actor, Dylon McDermott. South Africa's top movie critic, Barry Ronge, gave it a scathing review you can read here. I still think its a good movie with fantastic visuals and also a lot of fantasy. It's playing at Cinema Nouveau and elsewhere. Last year I met this gorgeous Indian woman who at first was very stand-off-ish. But I got her email, and emailed her the next day. A few SMSes and more emails and Read More →

Pole dancing

I walked into a pole dancing class by my associate Dr Elna McIntosh last week Wednesday. I was pleasantly surprises. And thought I may upset the women. It turned out they were worried about the whether I was embarrassed. I don't get embarrassed easily any more ;-) Well she teaches a women's group for 6 weeks and one of the session is to teach poll dancing. I think this has something to do with the Madonna-Whore Complex in men. If a woman keeps behaving like the mother i.e. caring, nurturing, etc. The man may loose sexual interest in the Read More →
