6 Tips on how to get a woman’s attention

If you are the type of guy to go out to bars, clubs and other venues in search of a date, it is important to know how to attract a woman’s attention. However, you probably aren’t the only man who is going to be there with hopes of finding a date.

Therefore, strive to make yourself stand out from the other men. Help the women feel like they should choose you over everyone else. All you need to do is make some small changes to gain women’s attention.

1. Dress to impress the girls: Wear a nice shirt and pants rather than a worn T-shirt and jeans. Make sure your hair is neat and you are freshly shaved. If you wear a beard or mustache, trim it neatly. Women like a man who takes care of himself and makes an effort to look nice.

2. Give off an air of confidence: Keep your posture straight; back straight, shoulders back, chest out, stomach in. Walk with a purpose. Avoid slouching and looking down. Keep your eyes moving around the room.

3. Make eye contact with any woman in whom you are interested: If you avoid her gaze, she will not know you are interested and will move on to someone else. If you make eye contact, smile. Do not approach her at first. If she thinks you aren’t immediately available, it can further peak her interest.

4. Position yourself so you are within her line of sight:  If you hide yourself in the corner, you are not in a position to be noticed by many women. A few of them may notice you, but they will only wonder why you are in the corner rather than being attracted to you. Put yourself out among the crowd.

5. Start a conversation if there is a woman with whom you want to be better acquainted: Speak in a respectful manner. Avoid using slang terms. Practice these conversations ahead of time so you already have an idea of what you will say; however, avoid sounding rehearsed when you actually speak to her.

6. Ask her about herself, and avoid bragging about yourself, even if she asks: While it is important to answer her questions honestly and directly, avoid talking about yourself too much. Keep the focus on her and pay attention. Show her you have been listening by slipping in tidbits she told you into your conversation.

“Now that we have your undivided attention, boxing match set,” the singer wrote.

He added: “Legally. Man to Man. No more dissing and no more talking. We in the ring with it. Challenge accepted.”

However, Harmonize has come out to call out a blogger who highlighted the story without confriming whether he was dumped by his woman.
Going through their social media pages, the two no longer post photos of each other as they used to. Actress Wolper on the other hand has been pulling down her recent photos with the singer.

Chances are the two might have called it quits or singer Harmonize currently signed under Wasafi records in planning to drop a song in a few week.

Unbelievable! Chidi’s mother linked to the main reason the artiste cannot quit using hard drugs

Well it is clear that a mother has a great influence in her child. She can influence his positively or negatively and unluckily for Chidi Benz he did not get to grow up around tough mothers like some of us did.

Apparently the Tanzanian singer has found it difficult to quit drugs since his mother is always there to protect him as reported by Kalapina, the guy who has been mentoring and counselling Chidi Benz.

Speaking on EA Radio’s Planet Bongo show, the guy blamed Chidi’d mum for being too soft on her son and not showing him the right way. He said,

To be sincere Chidi Benz’ mum loves him a bit too much making him think that she will always be on his side no matter what people say. Chidi has the mentality that his mum will always take him back even when things get out of hand, which is very wrong.


He went on to add that most Tanzanian celebrities who are droning in drugs is simply because their mums are too soft on them.

It is not just Chidi Benz, when you investigate well you will realize that most parents no longer take time to talk to their kids. In fact these ‘kids’ are no only engaging in drugs but in homosexuality without thinking what their parents will say since they are sure they don’t care.
