The Attraction Theory Originally published July 18, 2018, updated April 20, 2018 By Frank Kermit There is an attraction theory that states, "How you do one thing, is representative of how you do all other things." Although this particular theory is not realistic and cannot be applied across the board in any tangible and measureable way, it does have some merit when it comes to the Emotional Interpretations. Basically, the theory claims that if you are looking for signs as to what kind of partner someone would be for you in a relationship, look at how a person conducts him or her self, to give you an idea, of what kind of partner someone would make. On some level, this does make sense, as people generally are their repeating behavior patterns. Someone whose repeating behavior pattern is to lie, lie and lie some more, may be very incapable of being honest with anyone, including the people he or she dates. On the other hand, the theory that how you do one thing represents how you do all things is not correct when it comes to all things. How someone acts in one context may be very specific to that context. Just because someone puts in the time to take care of her health, does not mean she will put time into taking care of her family connections. Just because someone makes the extra effort at his job, does not mean they will be able to put in that same effort in managing his own business. In both those examples, there could be extraneous circumstances to explain how one behavior does not represent a predictable behavior in another context. For example, the woman in the above example may be overly preoccupied with her appearance such that she focuses on her own health and beauty, and does not focus on the emotional fulfillment of her family, and the man in the example works hard because he responds to authority checking up on him, but would not be assertive for himself if no one is there to scold him for being less pro-active. However, when it comes to dating, many people look for those “signs” that someone is meant to be your best potential soul mate. They look at status symbols that may include education level, wealth, social connections, and even wearing white after Labor Day, none of which is a direct indicator of how well someone treats a partner in a relationship. Those “signs” can serve as indicators of some kind of significance, but if you really want to safeguard yourself from being mislead by “signs”, then remember this one point: How someone treats you must be your most important criteria. If you plan to have children, or already have children, then your most important criteria should also include an analysis of what kind of parent someone would be. Frank Kermit

The Frank Law of Attraction Originally published July 18, 2016, updated April 20, 2018 By Frank Kermit The Frank Law of Attraction is based on one single premise: What you do to get the person must be the same thing as what you do to keep the person. Most attraction tactics focus on getting someone to like you, however they do not focus on keeping that person around. That is the paradox of most pick up strategies as those routines focus on getting someone immediately turned on; but has no substance to keep any serious long term relationship alive. Here are some of the talks that come up with men and women in my coaching sessions when perpetually single people come in and want to figure out why they cannot find someone that wants to commit to him or her long term, despite the fact they have less trouble finding short term volunteers. If you do not want her to leave when the money runs out, then do not use money as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when your breasts start to sag, then do not use your breasts as your primary means of attracting him. If you do not want her to leave when the adventure of traveling must be replaced by settling down to manage your responsibilities, then do not use adventures of traveling as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when the sex ends, then do not use sex as your primary means of attracting him. If you do not want her to leave when your buff body suffers life altering health problems, then do not use your buff body as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when the lies get found out, then do not use lies as your primary means of attracting him. If you do not want her to leave when she discovers you have no intention of being monogamous, then do not use the promise of monogamy as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when youthful beauty fades, then do not use your youthful beauty as your primary means of attracting him. If you do not want her to leave when you can no longer afford lavish gifts, then do not use lavish gifts as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when you stop supporting his drug habit, then do not use enabling his habit as your primary means of attracting him. If you do not want her to leave when you demand that she stop flirting with every man she knows, then do not use admiration of her flirtatious nature as your primary means of attracting her. If you do not want him to leave when you admit that you do not want to have kids, then do not use the promise of a family as your primary means of attracting him. Whatever you plan to use to keep the person with you long term, needs to be the very elements that you must use to attract the person. These include your common values, your similar life plans and goals, and your personality and ability to connect. Frank Kermit
The Top 3 Frank Wing Rules
By Frank Kermit WING is the term used to define the person that is helping you in your quest to connect with the target of your heart's desire. The role of a wing (whether a wingman or a wing-girl) is simple to understand, but not always easy to pull off. Your duty as a wing-person is to help someone get more opportunity to spend time alone with whomever that person wants to be with. This can involve talking to the friends of the target person, so that those said friends do not interfere with the impending conversation. It can involve being a fill-in on a double date because someone is unable to date at all unless they are able to bring a tag-along chaperone. It can simply involve being a cheering section, where the wing does not take part in any conversation with anyone, and is just there for emotional support and encouragement as someone faces their fears in trying to be more open in a social situation. Having been a wing myself, and having depended on wings in the past, I learned the hard way that there are some top rules to make winging a winning success. 1.Do not travel with your wing. In cases where you are out about town looking to meet new people or trying to better engage someone you already know and like, and want to be open to seeing a potentially romantic interaction through to whatever end you are seeking (for example, sex at the end of the night), never be dependant on your wing for a lift, and never be stuck having to cut the party short because your wing needs to turn in for an early morning appointment. Even if you arrive together, be willing to leave separately as the conditions require. If you are too dependent on a lift because you cannot afford your own way home, you should not be out with a wing. 2.Beware the folly of professional wing services. There are actually paid services where you can hire people to be your wings. Usually, they pretend to be your friend and their goal is to introduce you to new people at a social setting, which relieves you of having to make the initial approach and risk rejection. Now, if all someone is looking for is one night stands and casual hook-ups, then it could work. However, the folly of using these services is that in the event that you meet someone that you really connect with, and there is a real potential for a long term relationship, you are now in the messy predicament of either telling your new partner the truth (that you hired a wing service to help you meet up which could taint how your new partner would relate to you), or to forever keep it a secret and lie about who those wing service pseudo-friends really were (which starts your relationship on a falsehood). Buildings that are constructed on foundations that already have cracks in them make it easier to knock those buildings down. 3. Choose Wings Wisely. Do not choose someone to be your wing just because you are BFF (best friends forever). Your friends may be a reflection of you in terms of who you associate with, but a wing has a very specific goal, which is to give you the time, space and opportunity you need to either meet someone new, or to see if you can take your relationship to the next level with someone you already like. Your friends may not actually be able to help you achieve that goal, especially if they feel in competition for your attention themselves. Friends can sabotage you, without intending too, for the simple fact, their goal may be to spend time with you, and not help you be with someone else. There is more to share on this topic, but that can be explored in a future article. Frank Kermit |
