Parking Karma in Johannesburg

The traffic in Joburg gets worse every year. In one sense its a very positive sign because there is a lot more money floating around although much of it is in the form of credit. Anyway I first learned about parking karma from David DeAngelo in one of many programs on dating and success in life. And more recently one of the teachers from The Secret also mentioned it. So I started incorporating it into my daily thoughts. Until today I could never tell if it was working or not. However, today I went to Southgate mall Read More →

Leykis 101 – Spending Limits on Dates

Tom Leykis 101This is first of a series of Leykis 101 rules I'm republishing with some comments to put it into context for guys in South Africa. Upon some reflection I decided that R200 is a fair equivalent to the US$40 limit on a date. As you'll know R200 is one of the options on a ATM in South Africa. As the argument goes spending more on a date is not going to make a woman like you more. So decide on a limit for yourself and stick to it.

Toastmasters Body Language speech

On Tuesday evening I won the Best Preprepared Speech (2nd time) for my C&L 5 Body Language speech at my Toastmasters club. This was weird because I chose to speak about the basics of body language and the objective of the speech was to demonstrate body language. Some of the basics that I covered were: 1. When you arrive at a new venue pause when you enter the room. Allow people to notice you. This is an extremely powerful statement especially in a bar or nightclub. You must pause for several seconds about 10 to really allow the room to become Read More →

Why do women keep falling for Badboys?

This morning I did my regular KayaFM interview with Pat Cash and Ed Jordan. The question for me as resident dating expert was why do women keep falling for bad boys. Before I even consider the answer to that it's important to define what a bad boy is... David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating, described the "Bad Boy" as a dominant lover. And more specifically a man who's dangerous and thrilling to be around. And of course we know that bad boys can be dangerous. They tend to be heavy drinkers Read More →

Growing impact of MXit and chat rooms on adults

There is a growing impact of MXit and chat rooms on adults in South Africa. You can read about the previous article reported on this website from the Sunday Times about a "sorid sex scare" here. A married woman went behind her husband's back and she chatted to strangers on MXit. She ended up having sex with an under age boy and subsequently claimed it was rape. In my opinion this is the only way she can justify her actions. Loneliness and depression cause people to do irrational things. But that does not justify any actions. And the first step Read More →

Have you spoken to Mr Deity today?

Who is Mr Deity? Your friendly neighborhood omnipotent, omnipresent God or as Dr John Demartini says, Grand Organised Designer. This hilarious send-up was created by Brian Keith Dalton. This is one of those shows popping up on Youtube along with the likes of Chad Vader, that has the potential for mainstream success. In fact Brian's goal is to turn this into a weekly sitcom and is currently negotiating with some tv networks. I really find it amazing how much wit and intelligence these 5 minute webisodes contain. Without explaining more about Mr Deity I include Read More →

Online public relations and top keywords
