Anne Truong:

This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne

Anne Truong:

Truong, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor

Anne Truong:

and best selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix.

Anne Truong:

I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

Anne Truong:

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

Anne Truong:

started, and be sure to visit my website at

Anne Truong:

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

Anne Truong:

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Anne Truong:

Hello there, Modern Man. Do you flirt? Do you really want to

Anne Truong:

know how to flirt confidently? Well, I have Kimmy Seltzer. She

Anne Truong:

is the confidence therapist, authentic dating strategist and

Anne Truong:

image expert who helps singles transform their life from the

Anne Truong:

outside in. Don't worry, we'll talk what that is. But she's

Anne Truong:

also a TEDx speaker, she's been on national matchmaking

Anne Truong:

conferences and on eHarmony and Neutrogena. So this woman knows

Anne Truong:

what she's talking about. She's also a coach, but she's also a

Anne Truong:

dating strategist. I'm excited to have Kimmy on our podcast

Anne Truong:

today to share her wisdom. So welcome, Kimmy.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm super

Kimmy Seltzer:

excited about this conversation.

Anne Truong:

Oh, definitely. Let's dive into this. So what

Anne Truong:

does it mean by outside in? Give us the definition.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Well, it's funny because, I mean, when you hear

Kimmy Seltzer:

it, it sounds "Oh, it's so superficial. Aren't we supposed

Kimmy Seltzer:

to work from the inside out?" And look, I'm a therapist. I'm a

Kimmy Seltzer:

trained therapist. So I did for many, many years, until I got

Kimmy Seltzer:

into the coaching space. And the truth of the matter is, up until

Kimmy Seltzer:

my own hot mess story, which I'll share just a little bit

Kimmy Seltzer:

about too. Because while I have this great professional

Kimmy Seltzer:

background, the reason why I'm so passionate about doing what I

Kimmy Seltzer:

do is because of my own story, my own transformation, I think a

Kimmy Seltzer:

lot of people will relate to it. I used to work from the inside

Kimmy Seltzer:

out, like I believe that you had to do the work and really break

Kimmy Seltzer:

patterns and look at your childhood and all that in order

Kimmy Seltzer:

to move forward in your life. And I still believe that. So

Kimmy Seltzer:

hear me out. But I think there comes a time and a place,

Kimmy Seltzer:

especially in the dating world, where the outside is often

Kimmy Seltzer:

overlooked, so you can do the inside job to the cows come

Kimmy Seltzer:

home, and you could rock in a rocking chair and listen to

Kimmy Seltzer:

podcasts and read all these books. But are you flirting?

Kimmy Seltzer:

What are you wearing? How are you marketing yourself to

Kimmy Seltzer:

attract love? So it's not changing who you are, it's

Kimmy Seltzer:

marketing yourself so that somebody gets to know who you

Kimmy Seltzer:

are. So quick story on me and where that came from is I was

Kimmy Seltzer:

this kind of good girl from Chicago. Any Midwest people out

Kimmy Seltzer:

there will understand the story and that I lived a very

Kimmy Seltzer:

traditional life. I practiced as a therapist for over 10 years. I

Kimmy Seltzer:

was married. I had the picket fence. I had two kids, the dog,

Kimmy Seltzer:

the husband. I still have the kids, by the way, but you see

Kimmy Seltzer:

where the story is going. And so there, there I was, and we just

Kimmy Seltzer:

all picked up, and we moved across the country, and we plop

Kimmy Seltzer:

ourselves down into this place called Los Angeles, La La Land.

Kimmy Seltzer:

And that's where I am now. And it was almost as if, as soon as

Kimmy Seltzer:

we got here, that's where the record stopped. I joke we, we

Kimmy Seltzer:

did what all the other people did, we end up getting a

Kimmy Seltzer:

divorce. I like to blame LA, you see, but I, I would have been

Kimmy Seltzer:

here anyway, 100% it just sped up the process being in a new

Kimmy Seltzer:

land, and there I was all alone, not knowing what to do with my

Kimmy Seltzer:

new life, my new career, I'm a mom with young kids with no

Kimmy Seltzer:

resources or support system. And I was like, Oh my God. Like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

talk about that rock bottom moment. And then I'm a therapist

Kimmy Seltzer:

on top of it. How horrible like I I was like, wait, I should

Kimmy Seltzer:

know how to help myself. And also, I almost slipped into this

Kimmy Seltzer:

thing called analysis paralysis, because this is where the

Kimmy Seltzer:

outside in thing all happened because I did what I taught and

Kimmy Seltzer:

I preached, I did the work like I went to therapy, I sought out

Kimmy Seltzer:

my friends for support, and it was all really super helpful.

Kimmy Seltzer:

But then time went on and, like, six months to eight months

Kimmy Seltzer:

later, people were like, Kimmy, maybe you should just, like, get

Kimmy Seltzer:

out there and just maybe start talking to men. And I said, No,

Kimmy Seltzer:

not ready. I'm doing the work. Okay, fine. A year later, Kimmy,

Kimmy Seltzer:

okay, I think it's time to get out there. I'm like, No, I'm

Kimmy Seltzer:

still doing the work. Well, what was I doing? Literally, I was

Kimmy Seltzer:

just in this, like, cerebral space, right? Like, trying to

Kimmy Seltzer:

understand dating and all that. But I wasn't taking action. And

Kimmy Seltzer:

so one day, and this is where it all happened, I literally woke

Kimmy Seltzer:

up. I don't know what possessed me to just I took a hard look in

Kimmy Seltzer:

the mirror, and I was just horrified at what I saw. I mean,

Kimmy Seltzer:

I I did not look like this. I was not wearing red. I was

Kimmy Seltzer:

always wearing black, oversized clothes, and my confidence was

Kimmy Seltzer:

shocked. And I look in the mirror, and I just, I looked

Kimmy Seltzer:

horrible. I was still wearing my nursing bras. I wasn't even

Kimmy Seltzer:

nursing any longer. I was like, Oh my God. Like, I am stuck. I

Kimmy Seltzer:

am completely stuck. So the first thing I did to get me out

Kimmy Seltzer:

of this funk, I caught my dark period, my black period, because

Kimmy Seltzer:

that's all I wore, was black. I went shopping, shopping therapy,

Kimmy Seltzer:

and I go to the store, and I think I'm up leveling myself,

Kimmy Seltzer:

but I'm putting all these black clothes in my cart, and I'm

Kimmy Seltzer:

doing the same darn thing that I always do. I'm like, collecting

Kimmy Seltzer:

black and this personal shopper, she comes up to me and she says,

Kimmy Seltzer:

Ma'am, I've been watching you, and I really think you should

Kimmy Seltzer:

try this on. And she holds up this red dress that looks like

Kimmy Seltzer:

three times too small because I lost all this weight too. I was

Kimmy Seltzer:

totally stressed out. And she said, Try this on. I said,

Kimmy Seltzer:

That's really sweet of you, but that's not my size, and that's

Kimmy Seltzer:

really not my color. She says, Honey, that is your size. That

Kimmy Seltzer:

is your color. Try it on. Boom, like that. She hit me over the

Kimmy Seltzer:

head with that red dress. I'm like, wow, she's right. Like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

all this internal stuff isn't working. I need to, like, do

Kimmy Seltzer:

something. So I grabbed the dress, I slip into it, I twirl

Kimmy Seltzer:

around, like Cinderella, and I look in the mirror, and I was

Kimmy Seltzer:

like, oh my god, I'm a princess. Like, it was that Disney moment.

Kimmy Seltzer:

And I like, Wow, I feel different. I'm seeing myself

Kimmy Seltzer:

different. It was this like visceral response in my body.

Kimmy Seltzer:

And so I go out into the world and I wear this dress, and I

Kimmy Seltzer:

just practice being in this dress. This is where the whole

Kimmy Seltzer:

thing started. And I realized, oh my gosh, this whole time, I

Kimmy Seltzer:

was wearing the black clothes as a cloak to keep me invisible

Kimmy Seltzer:

from men, because I was scared of being seen. This is where it

Kimmy Seltzer:

all started, like I need to market myself. So I just had to

Kimmy Seltzer:

get used to being seen, knowing that I was sexy, knowing that I

Kimmy Seltzer:

was worthy. I had to learn how to flirt all over again. I mean,

Kimmy Seltzer:

the last time I flirted was in college. I didn't know how to

Kimmy Seltzer:

talk to the alien men. So that's where everything shifted. And I

Kimmy Seltzer:

realized that there was a symbiotic relationship between

Kimmy Seltzer:

the outside and the inside when it comes to confidence, that

Kimmy Seltzer:

it's not a superficial thing to think about how we carry

Kimmy Seltzer:

ourselves. Our energy is just as important as the inside. So

Kimmy Seltzer:

that's where my business was born. And then I started doing

Kimmy Seltzer:

styling on other people and using the coaching with my

Kimmy Seltzer:

therapy, and now I have this holistic approach and helping

Kimmy Seltzer:

people

Anne Truong:

Well, that's awesome. I love that personal

Anne Truong:

journey, and I think a lot of men and women will identify with

Anne Truong:

that, right, because it's almost like reinvention of your life.

Anne Truong:

And I think that from a man's perspective, and oftentimes, a

Anne Truong:

lot of my men are divorced or a widower, they're like, they

Anne Truong:

haven't been on the dating scene for decades, and now find

Anne Truong:

themselves "Okay, well, I need to do that." And let's talk

Anne Truong:

about the number one mistake that men make when they flirt,

Anne Truong:

and what should they be doing? So give us a little 101 Course.

Anne Truong:

These men who hasn't dated in 20 years, maybe even more. What

Anne Truong:

they need to start paying attention, what's the mistake

Anne Truong:

they make and what they should be doing.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Wait, I can only say one. There's Okay, no, I

Kimmy Seltzer:

will. Well, first of all, I do flirt workshops, and happy to

Kimmy Seltzer:

share that with your audience as well, because I have one coming

Kimmy Seltzer:

up, and I do dating retreats, and they're always co Ed. And

Kimmy Seltzer:

the funniest thing about flirting is that I ask all the

Kimmy Seltzer:

time, like, what's your definition of flirting? Like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

that's the first thing, first mistake, is that people have a

Kimmy Seltzer:

very interesting definition of what flirting is all about. But

Kimmy Seltzer:

what I share with people is like, when you look in the

Kimmy Seltzer:

dictionary and you see how it's defined, it says to behave as

Kimmy Seltzer:

though you are attracted to someone without the serious

Kimmy Seltzer:

intention of an outcome. Now that last part attached to the

Kimmy Seltzer:

outcome is what trips everyone up, and I would say is the

Kimmy Seltzer:

number one mistake. So everyone has these like, fears and

Kimmy Seltzer:

excuses about what's next. Like, oh, I don't know what to say,

Kimmy Seltzer:

or, Oh, I don't want to come across as creepy. They get in

Kimmy Seltzer:

their head about it, oh, what's a line? Oh, I haven't dated in X

Kimmy Seltzer:

amount of years. Like, there's all this like monkey chatter

Kimmy Seltzer:

happening on how they're coming across. And so guys really worry

Kimmy Seltzer:

about the approach, and so then what happens is that they

Kimmy Seltzer:

hesitate. And I know you and I talked about that on our podcast

Kimmy Seltzer:

too, but this is how I see it in application the real world with

Kimmy Seltzer:

flirting. And here's the oxymoron of it all, is that in

Kimmy Seltzer:

efforts to not wanting to be creepy, they end up being creepy

Kimmy Seltzer:

because they're hesitating right like no woman wants a guy just

Kimmy Seltzer:

staring at them without any kind of just fluid type of, like just

Kimmy Seltzer:

response. And I tell people, guys, just jump, just go at it

Kimmy Seltzer:

doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be. Like sexy or witty or

Kimmy Seltzer:

funny or clever, it could just be high. I use the metaphor a

Kimmy Seltzer:

lot with children like you see children on a playground, like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

four or five years old. They don't have filters yet. They

Kimmy Seltzer:

haven't had trauma happen or hurt happen. And this is, as a

Kimmy Seltzer:

therapist I see is part of why people are in their heads. They

Kimmy Seltzer:

just go up to people like, Hey, you want to play. They don't

Kimmy Seltzer:

say, Oh, I shouldn't go up to that person. They look really

Kimmy Seltzer:

busy. Or they don't want to talk to me, right? They just say, Hi.

Kimmy Seltzer:

So it's coming from that place of curiosity and openness. Is

Kimmy Seltzer:

the first thing that I really try to help men with, because

Kimmy Seltzer:

they always want a line from me. They're like, Kimmy, give me a

Kimmy Seltzer:

line. I'm like, I have no line. I teach them a social engagement

Kimmy Seltzer:

formula on how to get out of the head and into something that's

Kimmy Seltzer:

more playful and storytelling in nature.

Anne Truong:

Okay, so what does that mean? How to get out of the

Anne Truong:

head?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Well meaning that they're trying to think of a

Kimmy Seltzer:

line and what's next, rather than being just playful in their

Kimmy Seltzer:

body and coming from a place of curiosity, because at the end of

Kimmy Seltzer:

the day, it's how you make a woman feel. It's not about what

Kimmy Seltzer:

or the clever line. And if a woman detects that it's a line

Kimmy Seltzer:

or something that's pre fabricated, or you're

Kimmy Seltzer:

hesitating, it feels inauthentic, it feels

Kimmy Seltzer:

disconnected, and that's when women feel the creepy factor, to

Kimmy Seltzer:

be honest. So it's like closing the gap and just playing like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

when I do my dating retreats, it's so fun. Like, I have people

Kimmy Seltzer:

go on scavenger hunts, and they have like, different prompts and

Kimmy Seltzer:

directives where they have to do goofy things in the field. Like

Kimmy Seltzer:

they'll go to bars and restaurants, and I'll have them

Kimmy Seltzer:

just do playful interactions, and we do role playing, and I do

Kimmy Seltzer:

improv with them, just to get them warmed up, because it's

Kimmy Seltzer:

really it's about that like playfulness, we all kind of go

Kimmy Seltzer:

back to when we were in kindergarten, when the boys

Kimmy Seltzer:

chased the girls on the playground. You like that as

Kimmy Seltzer:

women.

Anne Truong:

So is this still it had things changed now in 2026

Anne Truong:

versus like 20 years ago, as in dating?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Yes, let's change. Yeah, because I focus on

Kimmy Seltzer:

later daters, anybody over 40. Listening to this, it's

Kimmy Seltzer:

something that I'm very passionate about, because it

Kimmy Seltzer:

used to be where, first of all, we didn't have social media, we

Kimmy Seltzer:

didn't have dating apps, we didn't have technology. So

Kimmy Seltzer:

people were actually forced, oh my god, dare I say, to meet

Kimmy Seltzer:

people in real life, in the wild, right? Like, and people

Kimmy Seltzer:

only had a couple people to select from, like, maybe it was

Kimmy Seltzer:

Susie across the way or Betty next door, and then you struck

Kimmy Seltzer:

up a conversation, and you cultivated that as somebody who

Kimmy Seltzer:

maybe could be your potential partner and build a life with

Kimmy Seltzer:

Well, now it's not like that anymore, and in good ways and

Kimmy Seltzer:

some challenging ways, right? Like we now have so many

Kimmy Seltzer:

possibilities, we have way more choice, which is beautiful,

Kimmy Seltzer:

because now we could maybe find a partner that's more right for

Kimmy Seltzer:

us in this age that we're at, because what we wanted in our

Kimmy Seltzer:

20s might be different, and it usually is different than when

Kimmy Seltzer:

we're in our 50s, 60s, 70s. So it's really like a lot of

Kimmy Seltzer:

people. That's another mistake I see with dating is that people

Kimmy Seltzer:

are going out there dating as a relationship person rather than

Kimmy Seltzer:

a dater.

Anne Truong:

What does that mean? What does that mean? What

Anne Truong:

you just said.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Because they're going out looking for their next

Kimmy Seltzer:

girlfriend, but they've never even just dated for the sake of

Kimmy Seltzer:

dating to get to know themselves and what they're wanting in the

Kimmy Seltzer:

stage of their life, and so they might get just locked in with

Kimmy Seltzer:

somebody else, but they're not really figuring out who they are

Kimmy Seltzer:

separate from a partner, yet.

Anne Truong:

Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it

Anne Truong:

comes down to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the

Anne Truong:

Good Morning Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed

Anne Truong:

to restore blood flow naturally. My patient often notice

Anne Truong:

improvement in just a few weeks when they take this part of

Anne Truong:

their daily routine. Click the link below to get the recipe and

Anne Truong:

start boosting your blood flow and firmness today, or go to

Anne Truong:

Kimmy Seltzer:

So it's a really crucial like and beautiful

Kimmy Seltzer:

bridge and transformation and reinvention when you are

Kimmy Seltzer:

discovering yourself by just meeting lots of women, just not

Kimmy Seltzer:

it's not even necessarily having sex with women. It's just

Kimmy Seltzer:

meeting lots of women, like, if you've been a kid in the candy

Kimmy Seltzer:

store that's only had a Hershey bar. How do you don't want a

Kimmy Seltzer:

Gobstopper or a lollipop, or you, like you who haven't tasted

Kimmy Seltzer:

the world and your goals are different now you maybe you just

Kimmy Seltzer:

want a travel partner. Maybe you you want a situation ship, I

Kimmy Seltzer:

don't know, like you can have anything you want in this modern

Kimmy Seltzer:

day world. Old, and at the age you're at, it's a beautiful

Kimmy Seltzer:

thing, but sometimes that can be challenging just understanding

Kimmy Seltzer:

all the nuances of that. The other thing with modern dating,

Kimmy Seltzer:

obviously, are the apps, right? And so a lot of men go out there

Kimmy Seltzer:

and they don't know how to navigate the apps, and they'll

Kimmy Seltzer:

use like the DM exchanges, as if they were, like, writing an

Kimmy Seltzer:

email or something. Like, they don't know how to flirt online,

Kimmy Seltzer:

and that's a really crucial skill to learn as they're

Kimmy Seltzer:

getting out there and dating, I'll tell a story of this guy I

Kimmy Seltzer:

dated. It was like he was a widower and he was getting back

Kimmy Seltzer:

out there and he had no clue what he was doing. Like, I think

Kimmy Seltzer:

maybe he was 70 at the time that I met him, and he's like, Kimmy,

Kimmy Seltzer:

I just need help. Like, I don't know how to flirt. Been a long

Kimmy Seltzer:

time. I don't know. How do you we do these dating apps? And I

Kimmy Seltzer:

did a whole thing. Like, I'm kind of like, hitch meets, what

Kimmy Seltzer:

not to wear for those references. Like, I took him

Kimmy Seltzer:

shopping first because his clothes were very nerdy. I'm not

Kimmy Seltzer:

going to a lot of them are, like, too big on like, those

Kimmy Seltzer:

clothes were big on him. He didn't have edge, he did not

Kimmy Seltzer:

have sex appeal in his clothes, and he didn't even know what

Kimmy Seltzer:

that was, right? So I first, this is the outside in approach.

Kimmy Seltzer:

I first had to get him marketing himself like a sexy man, because

Kimmy Seltzer:

even if I taught him the skills wearing those nerdy clothes was

Kimmy Seltzer:

not going to do it for him. So I had to get him a little bit

Kimmy Seltzer:

updated there. So we did that, and then we started just doing

Kimmy Seltzer:

cold approaches with women. We started teaching him how to

Kimmy Seltzer:

flirt, but then we worked on his profile, and like he didn't even

Kimmy Seltzer:

know how to send me his pictures. He got new pictures

Kimmy Seltzer:

done and everything, and he brought in a manila folder all

Kimmy Seltzer:

of his pictures, and we spread them out on the table, and we

Kimmy Seltzer:

picked out the right ones for him. And then we worked on like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

how to text a woman, how going right. Like, and I know you work

Kimmy Seltzer:

with sexual dysfunction and almost like Ed and flirting,

Kimmy Seltzer:

right? Like, if you don't know how to keep things going, you

Kimmy Seltzer:

will lose the woman. Like, in this modern day world, everyone

Kimmy Seltzer:

is so busy we're doing a zillion things. And in this age group,

Kimmy Seltzer:

we have grandchildren to deal with. We have children, we have

Kimmy Seltzer:

jobs. If you don't know how to keep that sexual tension going

Kimmy Seltzer:

in between your dates, it dies. So there's a lot of little

Kimmy Seltzer:

nuances with all this stuff, and I know there's so much to talk

Kimmy Seltzer:

about, but just to give you an idea, this is the kind of thing.

Kimmy Seltzer:

I treat dating as a skill. Never done it. How are you supposed to

Kimmy Seltzer:

know it? You got to practice it. You gotta learn it. You gotta

Kimmy Seltzer:

start in kindergarten.

Anne Truong:

When you were talking, I wrote down this

Anne Truong:

question, is floating online different than flirting in

Anne Truong:

person?

Kimmy Seltzer:

It's the same in that it's how you make somebody

Kimmy Seltzer:

feel. And so sometimes I'll look into profile, because I go into

Kimmy Seltzer:

like, bumble or match and these dating profiles, and I'll look

Kimmy Seltzer:

at like the exchange that's happening, and often it looks

Kimmy Seltzer:

like a LinkedIn exchange. I'm like, oh my god, this is so

Kimmy Seltzer:

boring. I'm like, this so having just I call it transactional

Kimmy Seltzer:

DMs, it just looks like a business transaction. There's

Kimmy Seltzer:

nothing fun, there's nothing flirty about it, like it won't

Kimmy Seltzer:

make a woman move the needle with you, and that's why a lot

Kimmy Seltzer:

of guys sadly fall into the friend zone. So I teach them how

Kimmy Seltzer:

to be in the flirt zone with their DMs. Same thing with

Kimmy Seltzer:

offline. It's how you make a woman feel, not about just the

Kimmy Seltzer:

tactics that you use. So it's a lot of it is unspoken words.

Kimmy Seltzer:

It's the way you touch a woman, it's the nonverbals. It's the

Kimmy Seltzer:

way that you look at her, it's the way that you emote with your

Kimmy Seltzer:

feelings and tap into the emotional triggers that creates

Kimmy Seltzer:

the attraction. So it's really, really interesting, because a

Kimmy Seltzer:

lot of guys, because they get in their heads that they worry more

Kimmy Seltzer:

about the tactics than the actual feeling of the

Kimmy Seltzer:

interaction, and that goes for both online and offline. So

Kimmy Seltzer:

instead of just firing questions at a woman, that's where I see

Kimmy Seltzer:

like the Q and A in the interview happen, and like when

Kimmy Seltzer:

they're on dates, that's where things die, and then women will

Kimmy Seltzer:

come back and say, I didn't feel the chemistry. You didn't play.

Kimmy Seltzer:

It was a transaction. It was just like, oh, so how many kids

Kimmy Seltzer:

do you have? How long have you lived here for? You've been to,

Kimmy Seltzer:

oh, my God, that's so boring, so boring. It's more like,

Kimmy Seltzer:

sometimes the most nonsensical interactions and conversations

Kimmy Seltzer:

are the best one.

Anne Truong:

Interesting, interesting.

Anne Truong:

Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,

Anne Truong:

low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the

Anne Truong:

problem. One of the best research pathways to boost

Anne Truong:

circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual

Anne Truong:

performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that

Anne Truong:

open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your

Anne Truong:

hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in

Anne Truong:

both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this

Anne Truong:

style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link

Anne Truong:

right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger

Anne Truong:

testosterone and better erection.

Anne Truong:

How does a man convey sexual, sexy confidence?

Kimmy Seltzer:

It's everything that we're talking about. So

Kimmy Seltzer:

what the charisma quotient does. It's the name of my podcast.

Kimmy Seltzer:

It's what you are on, actually. And definitely check out Dr

Kimmy Seltzer:

Anne's episode. By the way. It was an amazing so I'll put that

Kimmy Seltzer:

out too. It's the formula that I teach people to do, and it is

Kimmy Seltzer:

the outside in approach. And the reason why I love the word

Kimmy Seltzer:

charisma is because it's something that is taught and

Kimmy Seltzer:

learned, not something that people are born with. This is

Kimmy Seltzer:

what research says. So I have taught an 85 year old woman to

Kimmy Seltzer:

go to a bar and pick up a man, right? Like the age does not

Kimmy Seltzer:

discriminate with this stuff. But what I do with people is I

Kimmy Seltzer:

look at three different pillars in the charisma quotient. The

Kimmy Seltzer:

first pillar is what I call style intelligence, and this is

Kimmy Seltzer:

the outside, inner part. So I start there, and I assess that.

Kimmy Seltzer:

And this relates to Sexy Confidence, right? It's your

Kimmy Seltzer:

style, it's your like energy, it's your body language, it's

Kimmy Seltzer:

your first impressions. Like, how do you come across in that

Kimmy Seltzer:

first hit? It only takes seven seconds to make a first

Kimmy Seltzer:

impression. That's all you got. Now, seven seconds. That's what

Kimmy Seltzer:

research says. Like, only a couple of years ago was 30

Kimmy Seltzer:

seconds. So now it's like with technology too. It's happening

Kimmy Seltzer:

so fast.

Anne Truong:

And most of it is not verbal.

Kimmy Seltzer:

That's why I start with the style

Kimmy Seltzer:

intelligence. Because, like I said, you can do all this work

Kimmy Seltzer:

on yourself, but if you're not focusing on your first

Kimmy Seltzer:

impression, nonverbal stuff and style intelligence, it doesn't

Kimmy Seltzer:

matter, because then opportunities start passing you

Kimmy Seltzer:

by, and then the second pillar is emotional intelligence.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Obviously, as a therapist, is a big part of what I work on in

Kimmy Seltzer:

attraction and relationships, is that how we express ourselves,

Kimmy Seltzer:

how we emote, how we're vulnerable, how authentic we are

Kimmy Seltzer:

in our interactions, is also going to make or break the way

Kimmy Seltzer:

that we relate to each other, and how somebody feels so with

Kimmy Seltzer:

Sexy Confidence, like if, if you, let's say, are not

Kimmy Seltzer:

confident in the way you express yourself, you're a little

Kimmy Seltzer:

guarded, maybe There's been things that have hurt you, like

Kimmy Seltzer:

in relationships, you might come across as stiff or very logical

Kimmy Seltzer:

or very almost friend zoning because you're not allowing a

Kimmy Seltzer:

woman to really feel you. I'll give you an example of what that

Kimmy Seltzer:

looks like. Because men are you're probably are like, Well,

Kimmy Seltzer:

what does that mean? Because men, let's, let's face it, women

Kimmy Seltzer:

have a bigger space in their brain of emotional language than

Kimmy Seltzer:

men do, so like we're wired differently. But I always tell

Kimmy Seltzer:

men, if you can tap into that part of our brain, you got us.

Anne Truong:

Okay, listen man, listen to this. Okay, yeah. How

Anne Truong:

do you tap into that woman brain?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Well, to give an example, and it relates to the

Kimmy Seltzer:

social engagement formula that I teach people when I work with

Kimmy Seltzer:

and we don't have time to go over all of that. But there was

Kimmy Seltzer:

a man who did it to me, and I was working out at my health

Kimmy Seltzer:

club, and we came out and we were standing at the elevator.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Now, if people even talk to each other anymore, maybe a good

Kimmy Seltzer:

thing would be to say, oh, did you have a good workout? And not

Kimmy Seltzer:

that there's anything wrong with that, that that's a nice

Kimmy Seltzer:

gesture, and to ask, but it's probably just a safe kind of

Kimmy Seltzer:

interaction, oh, it was good, and yours, yeah, it was good,

Kimmy Seltzer:

and then it just dies, right? There's nothing that happens. He

Kimmy Seltzer:

did a great thing with me that I try to teach everybody. He

Kimmy Seltzer:

started with an emotion and a story. He looks at me, he shakes

Kimmy Seltzer:

his head, and he says, I'm exhausted. It was awesome. What

Kimmy Seltzer:

a great entry. I'm like, oh my god, me too. He's like, Yeah, I

Kimmy Seltzer:

couldn't get through my workout. I said, Oh my gosh, me either. I

Kimmy Seltzer:

don't know what was going on. So we're joining in emotion, not

Kimmy Seltzer:

being like, oh, did you have a good work? I mean, that's

Kimmy Seltzer:

boring. He became human. He became real. It wasn't a tactic.

Kimmy Seltzer:

It wasn't something that was safe. He went under the radar

Kimmy Seltzer:

and came at it at a very human type of trigger for me. And so I

Kimmy Seltzer:

had a better conversation in that elevator for, I don't know,

Kimmy Seltzer:

was like maybe two minutes, then a 15 minute conversation that

Kimmy Seltzer:

was boring and played it safe. So my point in telling you that

Kimmy Seltzer:

it's amazing how you can use the vulnerability and emotion and

Kimmy Seltzer:

attraction in that first hit. Now the third pillar is what I

Kimmy Seltzer:

call social intelligence. And obviously. Like people, they

Kimmy Seltzer:

know that word. They know emotional intelligence, but I

Kimmy Seltzer:

teach it in relation to dating, how comfortable you are socially

Kimmy Seltzer:

I work. I'd say 90% of my clients are introverts, and

Kimmy Seltzer:

they're also high achievers. So they get in their head that that

Kimmy Seltzer:

social battery gets drained. The thought of making conversation

Kimmy Seltzer:

is exhausting for them. So yeah, flirting is hard in that first

Kimmy Seltzer:

hit, so really helping people get over that hump and closing

Kimmy Seltzer:

the gaps to get more comfortable with themselves, and then that

Kimmy Seltzer:

makes other people look at them as more sexy and confident.

Anne Truong:

Well, that kind of leads me to the thing is that a

Anne Truong:

lot of the people we work with are haven't dated in a while,

Anne Truong:

and if you haven't used that skill, you need a refresher. You

Anne Truong:

really need a refresher. And I know that you have a special

Anne Truong:

deal for our listeners for your workshop, so please share that.

Anne Truong:

But to me, it's like, I'm a tennis player. I haven't played

Anne Truong:

tennis in a while, like 10 years. I'm gonna need to take

Anne Truong:

some lessons. I'm gonna have to take some group stuff to hone in

Anne Truong:

my skill. It's the same thing with flirting because you said

Anne Truong:

flirting, you're not born with charisma. You're not born with

Anne Truong:

it. You hone in the skill and what works, and working with a

Anne Truong:

coach that can really show you the roadmap to get there,

Anne Truong:

because I believe that all of us can hone in that skill. Now,

Anne Truong:

there are some that a little bit more natural than others,

Anne Truong:

depending on your introvert or extrovert, but everyone can

Anne Truong:

flirt and as long like what you just said, all these things that

Anne Truong:

you have said that I'm aware, but I couldn't articulate it, or

Anne Truong:

even visually see that. So tell us about your workshop.

Kimmy Seltzer:

Yes, oh, my God. Well, and to button up even the

Kimmy Seltzer:

last question about confidence, it relates to the workshop, is

Kimmy Seltzer:

that I believe, like the way I define confidence in general, is

Kimmy Seltzer:

experience. That's it. I don't believe there's one person out

Kimmy Seltzer:

there listening that's not confident. It's just that there

Kimmy Seltzer:

may be an area that you haven't had enough practice in positive

Kimmy Seltzer:

exposure to or maybe it's just something you never, never

Kimmy Seltzer:

learned and never knew. So how do you get it? You got to

Kimmy Seltzer:

practice. But not only practice, you got to have someone hold you

Kimmy Seltzer:

accountable, and you got to do it in repetition. It's just like

Kimmy Seltzer:

what you do with your clients. I mean, it's never a good idea to

Kimmy Seltzer:

just tell one of your clients, Oh, just be more confident. Get

Kimmy Seltzer:

out of your head. You'll be fine. No, what do I need to do?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Well, you gotta do the exercises. You gotta do the

Kimmy Seltzer:

shake that you have, like all the things. So I like to break

Kimmy Seltzer:

it down into almost like, those measurable mini tangible things

Kimmy Seltzer:

that you can do that add up to the confidence. And one of the

Kimmy Seltzer:

things that I encourage everyone to do is to take my workshop,

Kimmy Seltzer:

because it's co ed, and there's men and women in there, and for

Kimmy Seltzer:

three hours, we get things done. Like you'll learn through a

Kimmy Seltzer:

PowerPoint of my tips. And I do a dating skill each month I

Kimmy Seltzer:

happen to have one coming up in February, February 25. It's a

Kimmy Seltzer:

flirt workshop. But then every month I do a different dating

Kimmy Seltzer:

skill, so you can just practice that, and then we go into

Kimmy Seltzer:

breakout in the VIP rooms. I'm happy to gift all your listeners

Kimmy Seltzer:

a free upgrade to the VIP room, because I want your listeners to

Kimmy Seltzer:

put themselves into practice. It's not enough to listen and

Kimmy Seltzer:

chat in the chat. I want them interacting. Then that'll build

Kimmy Seltzer:

your confidence, and from there, like, who knows where you'll go.

Kimmy Seltzer:

So, yeah, I love it. And also, if you go to

Kimmy Seltzer:

stophatingdating.com that's where you can register, and I'll

Kimmy Seltzer:

give everyone a code for your listener, so they'll get that

Kimmy Seltzer:

free upgrade. There's another thing that they could do. This

Kimmy Seltzer:

is for free, you could go to flirtoverforty.com and take a

Kimmy Seltzer:

Flirt Quiz to see what kind of flirt you are, and that way, it

Kimmy Seltzer:

can give you a baseline of some of the things that are tripping

Kimmy Seltzer:

you off where you can go from there, you'll get some video

Kimmy Seltzer:

series from me along the way, not a reminder to come to the

Kimmy Seltzer:

workshop.

Anne Truong:

Okay, so the Flirt Quiz is, what's the URL for the

Anne Truong:

Flirt Quiz?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Kimmy Seltzer:

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

listener what she's gonna give us, the code. I'll put it in the

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

way you can get VIP upgrades, that's when you get to interact

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

Who knows who you will meet, and you get to practice as well. So

Anne Truong:

this is awesome. What is that URL to sign up for the workshop?

Kimmy Seltzer:

Yeah, it's stophatingdating.com

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

Anne Truong:

and March and April. And I would tell you, it's they think of it

Anne Truong:

like flirting, like a skill that you haven't used in a long time.

Anne Truong:

And like I mentioned earlier, I'm a tennis player, but I

Anne Truong:

haven't picked up a tennis in like, 10 years, and you're gonna

Anne Truong:

need some lessons. You're gonna need a refresher. And so guys,

Anne Truong:

if you're getting to the dating scene again. Go to Kimmy's

Anne Truong:

workshop and get honed in the skill, you never know. You never

Anne Truong:

know who you're gonna meet in there, and just start

Anne Truong:

practicing, because when your confidence on the inside, you'll

Anne Truong:

also feel confident as well on the outside. But then it works
