\"Interview<\/p>\n

I<\/span>n this latest installment of Interviews With Seduction Masters<\/em><\/strong>, we talk to Mark Belmont, who recently launched\u00a0a program which teaches men how to improve their physical appearances dramatically.<\/p>\n

What attracted me to Belmont’s work is that the topic of physical appearance is one of the most neglected in the seduction knowledge base.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span><\/strong>: Mark, the topic of physical attractiveness is not really well discussed by many dating gurus. Why do you think this is the case?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Derek, good talking to you again. There’s a good reason why physical traits are not talked that often. Many dating gurus say that you can attract anyone even though you are as ugly as Jabba The Hut.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: Haha!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you know, Derek, that’s not true at all.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: Of course.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You got to be at least somehow pleasant to look at to even start to attract women. And of course, if you are good looking, you’ll find it much easier to get women, or anyone for that matter, to like you.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: You don’t have to look like Brad Pitt or Danny LC Tan, but if you’re a decent looker then you’ll find it much easier to get women to like you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely, Derek. Looks are definitely important! It makes you look less wimpy!<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: I teach my students that women place far less importance on a guy’s looks than other factors such as security, emotional attachment and social standing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I agree with you 100%! But still, looks is something that factors into their decision. They buy the whole package, so to speak, and if you do not work on your physical appearance, you will not be doing yourself any favors. You can’t even have good body language if you don’t look at least decent.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: Here’s something to think about.\u00a0If you\u2019re physically attractive AND you\u2019ve mastered approaching, flirting and escalation techniques… then you\u2019ll truly be unstoppable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d say that most people drastically underestimate the importance of looking great.<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: Oh yeah. Anyway,\u00a0how much can a guy do to actually improve the way he looks?<\/strong>
\nThere are tons of things men can do to enhance their appearance. \u00a0Most guys haven\u2019t even thought about it!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a few things that you CAN\u2019T control \u2013 at least not without spending a fortune on plastic surgery or other sketchy things like that. \u00a0But my program doesn\u2019t take you down that road. \u00a0Instead, I focus on the many things you CAN do to improve your looks.<\/p>\n

And trust me, there\u2019s a lot of things you can do. \u00a0My own personal appearance transformation required that I look after a huge number of things: \u00a0everything from skin care and hygiene down to hairstyle and fashion.<\/p>\n

If you flip open a men\u2019s fitness magazine, you\u2019ll notice that the models all have different facial features, different body types… but they also share a lot of similarities.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll probably notice they\u2019ve all got perfect skin, great hair, excellent fashion sense, athletic physiques….<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: …and these things are well within your control.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly!<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: And so I presume that your program takes care of all these things?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In designing my program, I wanted to take all the guesswork out of the equation. \u00a0I figure guys want simple, easy-to-follow instructions on how to enhance the way they look.<\/p>\n

So my program is essentially a step-by-step guide to taking care of all these things. \u00a0In plain English, I\u2019ve outlined pretty much everything you can possibly to do improve your look without surgery, pills, or other gimmicks. It will be a real confidence boost!<\/p>\n

Derek Rake<\/span>: Sounds good. Give us a brief run-through of your program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, Derek, I thought you’d never ask…<\/p>\n

The program has a couple of different components, including a 240-page ebook… so if I were to write out all of the things it covers, it would take me ages! \u00a0But to whet your appetite, here are a few examples of the sorts of things I cover:<\/p>\n
