3 Ways To Bounce Back From a Brutal Breakup

She packed her bags, gave a last, tearful speech and slammed the door shut. She’s gone from your life for good, and she may as well have torn out your heart before she left.

You’re sitting there, feeling numb from shock as you’re trying to process what just happened. After a while, a dam bursts inside you and the emotions start flooding you so fast you don’t know which way is up.

It’s ok, we’ve all been through this crap one time or another. Here’s how you can keep your head above water and see that light at the end of the tunnel:

#1: “Let it Hit You Like a Truck”

You’re feeling absolutely horrible right now, and you want to sift through the rubble of your failed relationship. Don’t – now is not the time to figure out what went wrong.

That part comes later. Right now, focus on just dealing with the all those emotions beating down your door.

Here’s my advice: let them in. It’s the first step of your healing process.

Comedian Louis C.K. once said that when you have those moments of sadness (which is what defines a breakup), you need to let those emotions …

She’s Already Looking for Your Replacement

A relationship is not an appliance you can put on “set it and forget it” and expect it work flawlessly. Complacence is the biggest mistake a guy can make in dating, and there’s some disturbing new evidence of the consequences.

In a recent survey, it looks like a bunch of women are looking for a “backup husband” (as the study puts it) in case things don’t work out with their current guy.

I’m not cool with this kind of behavior, but it does point out the important fact that an Alpha Guy needs to keep his woman happy (regardless of whether she has Husband 2.0 on standby, and in which case, it’s on her).

The Truth About Women

Keeping your girl attracted is never a destination, but a never-ending journey you’ll take with her.

Things will never come to a point where she’ll say, “Yup, I think I’m good right here. You can stop being fun, interesting …

How To Be at Your Most Alpha

Masculinity is a word that gets thrown around all the time, and not enough guys understand what it’s about – or embrace its true meaning.

Some think having a Porsche or cash to burn is what attracts women, but all this external stuff is just icing on the cake. The qualities that constitute “being a man” helps a guy get those things, but more importantly, they’re also responsible for turning women on.

Now, in a world where traditional gender roles are being challenged, the definition of manliness might be a bit fuzzy for some guys. Families with stay-at-home dads and working moms are a good example of breaking stereotypes.

Men in these situations need to make use of feminine skills like nurturing relationships, caring for others and finding joy in the beauty of life. Women in the workplace on the other hand, need to be competitive, driven and focused – all of which are masculine qualities.

But when it comes to dating however, it’s a whole other ballgame. Even if we’re living in a progressive time like this, you’ll still need those masculine traits to activate a woman’s feminine attraction circuitry.

Here are a few ways to be more manly …
