13 REAL Reasons Why Introverted Men Are So Damn Attractive - Duration: 12:06.

13 REAL Reasons Why Introverted Men Are So Damn Attractive

Introverted individuals as a whole may at times come to be viewed by society as a shy,

weird, problematic, standoffish, reserved, and socially awkward bunch of people.

Or at least, that's something most introverts often feel.

Especially for introverted men, they lack confident to realize that they're actually

attractive.

Most of them afraid to approach people, especially woman.

Now in this video, let me show you some real reasons why introverted men are so damn attractive.

Though it might not apply to all introverted men, but I believe most of you will have some

of these traits, so be proud to be yourself.

If you find this information is helpful to you,

make sure to like this video and subscribe to this channel so you won't miss any of our

interesting updates in the future!

1.

You are mysterious

That's because you listen more than you speak.

Thus, you are able to get to know a lot about the woman you are talking to while revealing

little about yourself.

Her revealing a lot + you revealing little = recipe for being 'that mysterious man'

or 'that sexy stranger'.

Why does this matter?

Well, as you know, women are attracted to mysterious men.

In fact, in the eyes of women, mysteriousness is one of the most attractive qualities you

can have as a man.

2.

Non-reactiveness

Introverts can sink deeper in their minds and thoughts.

This makes them less reactive to external things.

Why does this matter?

Non-reactiveness is a character trait of alpha males.

Think of the alpha guy sitting in a restaurant and eating.

Another man enters and starts yelling at him.

The alpha doesn't flinch.

He doesn't react.

He slowly finishes chewing his food.

Takes a sip at his wine.

Wipes his mouth.

Puts the napkin back in its place in a calm and orderly fashion.

Only then does he get up and kick the other guys ass.

3.

You are effortless

Because you need less attention, are less loud, and talk less, you come across as effortless.

This is attractive to women.

Now, of course, you still need to understand how attraction works and how to talk to women.

But these are skills you can learn.

I know many men that are good with women, both extroverts and introverts.

The point I'm trying to make is the following: Introverted men that are good with women have

an effortless style compared to extroverts.

To the woman, it looks like she's doing all the work.

This makes her even more attracted to you.

4.

You are a master at getting women to invest.

Now, I'm not talking about getting them to invest money.

I'm talking about getting them to invest time, energy, and thoughts in YOU!

You see, because you listen more than you talk, other people have a tendency to talk

more in your presence.

When you make women talk, they invest in the conversation.

They open up.

They invest time and energy in you by doing so.

But it doesn't stop there.

Because you reveal less about yourself, she'll try harder to figure you out.

She'll think about you when you're not around, meaning she'll invest in you even

after you're gone.

Why does this matter?

Easy.

The more a woman invests in you, the more she'll become attracted to you.

She'll think you're special, because why else would she be thinking about you so much?

5.

You know what you want

What do women want?

This is the question men have been trying to figure out for ages.

The answer?

Women want a man who knows what he wants!

You introspect more than extroverts.

You like being on your own to recharge.

This give you more time to think things through.

Therefore you know what you want much better than extroverts do.

This is attractive to women.

6.

You are better at qualifying women

Knowing what you want also means knowing what you like and dislike in women.

This enables you to qualify women much better, and come from an authentic place.

Qualifying women means you ask them questions to see if they live up to your desires.

For example, if you like sporty women, you could ask, 'Do you play any sports?

Why is this important?

When you ask women qualifying questions, she'll perceive you as being picky.

Now tell me something.

What kind of men are picky?

Men with options of course.

So by asking her qualifying questions, she'll assume you have a lot of options with women.

You must because otherwise you wouldn't ask these questions.

Here's the point: Women love men with options.

Why?

Well, because of the attraction principle of pre-selection.

Pre-selection is one of the most powerful attraction triggers within women.

It means that women feel attraction for men if they know other women are attracted to

them.

See, that's were most men make a HUGE mistake.

They try to keep their criteria broad.

They think that the broader their criteria, the more women they can find as a match.

They believe this increases their chances.

But in reality, the opposite is true.

The more picky you are, the more success you'll have attracting beautiful women.

That's because of the pre-selection effect implied by your picky behavior.

P-U-As have this figured out, and they use lies and fake qualification questions to achieve

this.

The difference is that you actually know your preferences.

You care about the answers.

Therefore, you'll ask AUTHENTIC questions.

It will be real.

Women will feel it.

They'll become attracted because of that.

7.

You are a challenge

Introverts usually have a deeper understanding of things.

This is because introverts process information from many more angles.

So what, Well, because you have a deeper understanding of things, you can offer different perspectives.

You can challenge her more during conversations.

Women love men that challenge them.

Also, when you are able to show them a different perspective, it shows your intelligence.

As you know, intelligence is attractive to women.

Plus, when you educate her on something, you position yourself as an authority.

Think about it.

Who else has done this in her life?

People of a higher authority.

Examples: her father, teachers, bosses, etc.

Women feel attracted to men of authority.

Why do you think so many young girls fall in love with their teacher?

Although, be careful not to come across as someone who loves to lecture her.

8.

You have a stronger inner game

Yep.

And before you say anything: I don't care if you don't feel confident at times!

You know why?

Because most extroverts don't feel confident either.

But you know what the difference is?

When you learn about inner game, and put your mind to it, you'll improve much faster than

extroverts.

Why?

Because inner game is all about understanding and connecting with your inner processes.

This is something that comes much more easily to introverts than extroverts.

9.

You have a stronger outer game

Again, before you say anything: I don't care if you don't know how to talk to women.

Want to know why?

Because most extroverts also don't know how to talk to women.

The difference?

Again, you process things at deeper levels and from different angles.

Thus, you are able to get a deeper understanding of things.

This includes dating strategies, tactics, and skills.

If you put your mind to it, you'll get a deeper understanding and mastery of dating

skills than most extroverts.

But here's the deal: you need to look at dating like any other skill that you've

learned.

Once you do this, it won't take you long to improve your love life.

10.

You are a great listener

Because you are such a great listener and because you process what she says from different

angles, you have a power extroverts can only dream of.

You are able to explain her problems and thoughts better than she can explain them herself.

That enables you to "get" her at a deep level.

The only problem you have is that you need to learn how to do this without falling into

the friendzone.

Luckily, that's easy.

The only thing you need to do is to add escalating touch to your conversations.

When you combine escalating touch with your listening skills, here's what women will

say to their friends about you: "He just gets me!"

11.

You need less attention

Introverts need less attention.

In fact, you love time on your own.

As simple as this seems, this is powerful.

Why?

Because it makes you less needy.

Neediness is the number-one killer of attraction.

Women feel that.

In fact, here's a little experiment you can try on your next date.

Tell her this: "You know, I'm the kind of guy that needs time alone to recharge.

I know it might be strange to you, and many women have difficulties with this.

But that's just who I am."

I bet you the farm that she'll say she understands.

Watch how she grows more attracted to you after you say that.

Play to your strengths at a moment like this.

You like time alone.

Be upfront about it, and you'll understand how your introversion triggers attraction

naturally.

No need for lies, manipulation, or P-U-A routines.

12.

You are better at one-on-one conversations

Extroverts usually do better in big groups.

That's because they get energy from people.

And in social settings, that can be an advantage.

But dates require one-on-one conversations.

That's where you shine.

That's because you prefer deeper conversations with just one or two people, instead of superficial

small talk with big groups.

So while extroverts typically have an easier time meeting new people, they are usually

worse on first dates.

You, on the other hand, are better on dates.

13.

You're better at creating deep bonds

Not only are you better at one-on-one conversations, but you love to go in deep in conversations.

Creating bonds is something that comes easily to you.

This is one of the most important skills you can have to succeed with women.

Are you sure about this?

But I always get friend-zoned!"

Well That could be, but it's not because of your connecting skills.

It's because of a lack of other skills.

You don't get friend-zoned because of something you do.

Instead, it is because of something you didn't do even though that's also important.

Let me say that again.

It's not the presence of something that gets you friend-zoned.

It's the absence of something.

What you lack is escalating touch.

If you add escalating touch to your ability to create deep-bonds, you'll be a modern-day

Casanova in no time!

Why Are Restaurants' Profit Margins So Low? - Duration: 2:20.

The restaurant industry in the U.S. is vast and is a part of daily life in America

—with 57 percent of us eating at a restaurant at least once a week.

In fact, for the first time in recorded history, U.S. consumers are spending more money at

restaurants than at grocery stores.

With the restaurant industry growing and becoming more prevalent every year, here are 5 things

you need to know about the restaurant industry: Number one: In 2016 there were more than 1

million restaurant locations in the U.S. and they generate annual sales of $780 billion.

Number two: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2017 the restaurant industry

employed 12 million people—enough to fill Chicago's Soldier Field

almost two hundred times over.

Number three: 425,000 of the 1 million restaurants located in the U.S. are either independently

owned or ran by a franchisee—which means many of these establishments are considered

small businesses.

You see, while franchised restaurants are associated with a larger corporate body,

the franchisee who owns and operates the establishment is not much different than

the mom-and-pop diner down the street.

Number four: The average profit margin for U.S. restaurants usually hovers between

4 and 6 percent—meaning for every dollar in sales, the business owner only collects 4 to 6 cents.

However, profit margins have historically been known to drop to as low as 1.4 percent.

Number five: 33 percent of restaurant revenue goes towards paying wages, which means that

government mandated increases in the entry-level wage can be really hurt

an independent restaurant owner or franchisee.

A business owner can only raise prices so much before customers start going away.

The restaurant industry plays a vital role in both the lives of ordinary Americans and the U.S. economy.

Why restoring Puerto Rico's power is so difficult - Duration: 7:05.

HARI SREENIVASAN: We turn now to the rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico.

Both the local and federal governments have faced criticism for their actions after Hurricane

Maria.

It slammed into the island on September 20, killing at least 48.

Today, the president met with the Puerto Rico's governor at the White House.

Mr. Trump was asked how he'd grade his administration's response to the crisis on a scale of one to

10.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: I would say it was a 10.

I would say it was probably the most difficult, when you talk about relief, when you talk

about search, when you talk about all the different levels, and even when you talk about

lives saved.

It hit right through the middle of the island, right through the middle of Puerto Rico.

There's never been anything like that.

I give ourselves a 10.

HARI SREENIVASAN: For his part, the governor, Ricardo Rossello, sidestepped the question

about what grade he would give the federal response, but he did thank the president and

lawmakers.

GOV.

RICARDO ROSSELLO, Puerto Rico: What's going to keep the people there, what is going to

keep this going is knowing that we have the backing of the White House, and knowing that

we're going to have the backing of Congress, so that we can have the resources appropriate

to attend to the storm, and then be smart about it, be innovative, and restore Puerto

Rico to a better position than before.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Some 80 percent of Puerto Rico remains without electricity, and President

Trump addressed the task of repairing the its devastated power grid.

DONALD TRUMP: There's never been a case where power plants were gone.

So this isn't just like -- you know, as I said, I don't want to just fix poles.

You can't just fix the poles.

There's never been a case where power plants were gone.

So it's going to be a period of time before the electric is restored.

HARI SREENIVASAN: For more on the efforts to repair the island's power grid, I spoke

a short time ago with Jose Sanchez.

He's the director of the Puerto Rico Power Restoration Task Force for the Army Corps

of Engineers.

He joined me from San Juan via Skype.

I began by asking about the president's assessment that the power plants were the significant

problem, not the transmission lines.

JOSE SANCHEZ, Army Corps of Engineers: Well, it's all tied together.

Right?

So, if you don't have the transmission lines up, the generation of power the cannot be

put in place.

In other words, you can't just fire up a generator, hoping for a line to be connected afterwards.

It's a demand signal.

So you have got to have the demand that comes from the homes and the businesses through

the transmissions line back into the generator itself.

HARI SREENIVASAN: So give us an idea of the scale of repairs that are necessary.

JOSE SANCHEZ: So, when we got here, the first assistance we got from the local power authority

was that they had about -- 80 percent of the system was affected, not necessarily destroyed,

but affected, and that would be from lines down to trees touching the lines and so on

and so forth.

Obviously, some of the systems have already been fixed.

There are crews out there right now.

And about -- last we heard, about 20 percent of the generation power or beyond has been

now energized.

HARI SREENIVASAN: We're a month out and we're still talking about 20 percent.

This is an area the size of Connecticut.

This would be much faster if it was back on the mainland.

Give us an idea why this is so challenging.

JOSE SANCHEZ: There are several factors to this.

Definitely, the topography in Puerto Rico is very challenging.

We're talking about a single central ridge that goes up several thousand feet and comes

back down.

There is also the issue with the wind speeds.

The amount of devastation that we have seen here of towers and lines is really at least

unprecedented in my 22 years as an engineer.

And the combination of logistics, being on an island in the middle of the Atlantic, presents

another factor to add to this.

Plus, there's also manufacturing constraints here.

We have Irma, Maria and Jose that impacted portions of the United States that were actually

the closest in proximity to Puerto Rico.

And, you know, in order to get materials for those sectors in Florida, Texas and Georgia,

have also depleted some of the supplies to the manufacturers.

So we're competing against all this, and not only that, the Virgin Islands, which was also

devastated heavily, and their electrical system has also been impacted beyond repair.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Mr. Sanchez was joining us via Skype.

And even in the middle of our conversation, the power went out.

JOSE SANCHEZ: We just had a problem with power here, as we speak about power.

HARI SREENIVASAN: OK.

I think we're set here.

So, how much is this all going to cost, and is there enough money to fix it?

JOSE SANCHEZ: The real question in terms of how much it's going to cost, the -- it's something

that is going at the same time as we're repairing, because we don't have time to plan and design.

We're going at it as fast as we can.

So, as we do repairs, we're seeing what the burn rates of the materials is.

At the same time, we're also seeing the speed that we can fix this.

So I think, as we go into about a third of the way of the repairs, we will probably have

a better idea of what the overall cost is going to be.

We already are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

We awarded a $240 million contract already.

Plus, we -- just night, we awarded a $40 million contract on that.

We already put an order for $148 million of materials.

So, we are already in the $400 million to $500 million range.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Yes.

Finally, is the Army Corps's charge to try to rebuild the infrastructure as it was, or

can you improve it?

There's a lot of people that are asking whether, for example, renewables can be a greater part

of the mix.

The island was almost exclusively powered by oil and diesel oil that they have to truck

in.

But you're literally on an island.

You have got tidal power surrounding you.

You have sunshine almost eight hours a day all year around.

You have got offshore wind.

JOSE SANCHEZ: Yes, I would say the -- by the way, we are on the mission assignment by FEMA.

And the mission assignment is about emergency repairs.

So, this is a situation where we're just fixing things around the island.

Now, of course, as we fix, we're not going to put a post that is without the current

standards.

So, we're improving the system just by the matter of fact that we're replacing things

that are of older age with newer things.

And that's how the system -- in a way, even though we are under assignment just -- basically

to just repair the system, there's going to be some improvements due to the fact that

we're doing that.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Jose Sanchez from the Army Corps of Engineers, thanks so much for joining

us.

JOSE SANCHEZ: Thank you for having me.

My pleasure.
