Self Confidence – I feel this is one of the most important qualities to posses in life. Women are masters at reading body language. If you are not self confident your body language, will radiate your inner insecurities. You will not make a good first impression unless you are walking tall and negotiating social situations with confidence and poise.

Sense of humor – Ladies want to be around guys who are fun and adventurous. Being funny will leave a big impression on her. It also demonstrates you are comfortable with who you are and you are not afraid of a little self effacing humor.

Intelligence – Women find it very attractive when a man is an expert or knowledgeable in a particular field. Women enjoy talking about sociological and world issues and you will be ahead of the game if you can speak eloquently about a broad range of topics. Emotional intelligence is of particular importance. You must understand and be able to calibrate to someone’s emotional state in-order to communicate effectively.

Style – Most guys fail here miserably. Guys have you ever thought about how meticulous women are about their appearance? They will go shopping for three hours for the perfect outfit and shoes. They will then spend 2.5 hours getting ready for a night out. So that is a total of 5.5 hours of preparation for one night out. Compare that to your 20 minute of preparation and I think you get the point. You should have at least a couple nice outfits that are clean and fit you well. You should stay up-to-date with the current styles by reading fashion magazines like GQ, Details and the like.

Exciting – Life tends to get monotonous at times. Women are drawn towards men who charismatic and exciting. Every person is unique and exciting. Find out what is unique about yourself and share your experiences with people. Surprise your lady! Tell her you are taking her away for the weekend but don’t tell her where. Of course, she will need some general packing instructions but the mystery will score big points for you. You are a man, be impulsive!!! Lastly, don’t be predictable.

You can not accomplish all these aspects of your life overnight. Think of this a journey and not a destination. It is very helpful to watch movies to envision the qualities of a attractive men. Watch movies staring Sean Connery, Gary Cooper, John Wayne, and Brad Pitt. I think the James Bond character is a prime example of what women find attractive in men.

The Terry Parker High School boys basketball program is anxious and ready to begin its 2008-2009 school year. This years schedule consists of many basketball powerhouses like Fletcher high school, Fleming Island high school, first coast high school, and Wolfson high school. Yet, the only thing holding back the Braves from being in this elite group is its defense.

Last year, Terry Parker was one of the anticipated teams to see. People thought that they were going to have a good run in the playoffs and off to the championship game. But their dreams were shattered early due to lack of passion, committment, and heart. Some way or somehow is the answer for this year, meaning, the Terry Parker Braves might be in trouble.

Two varsity players are returning and there are alot of inexperienced junior varsity members being moved up. The only thing that can be said is good luck to the new team this year, because they have to play teams this year like this; Robert E. Lee high school, Edward H. White high school, Englewood high school, Bartram Trail high school, Fleming Island high school, FirstCoast high school, Wolfson high school, and Forrest high school.
