Sugar Baby Commandments

You are the fantasy. Leave the hum-drum sob stories and flaws at home. Don’t just have the ability to attract someone; have the ability to keep them attracted. What the SD’s consider a goldmine are the Four As: Agreeable, Attractive, Accomplished (talents/hobbies) and Alluring.

You get what you pay for. Instead of splurging on random clothes, find high quality, key things first. You’ll have to keep buying clothes when those cheap things become ill-fitted, fall apart, and go out of style. Same goes for other material things (headphones, laptops, makeup, whatever).

You can’t pay your bills with a wardrobe. Unless you want to have a collection of Gucci, Chanel, or LV to sell at a discounted price to others, don’t concentrate on your ‘wants’ first. Always cover all of your needs. Hold onto money until you have 3 months worth of rent/utilities. Anything can happen so prepare for a rainy day.

Don’t wait. Every time you wait a day to edit your profile, you lost a POT or ten. Don’t wait until you’re running out of money to ask for an SD for extra. Do not wait until things start to go wrong to make sure you’re on your plan for success. 

Make a list everyday. Only write on it what you have accomplished for that day. This will keep you motivated and productive. You can even create a point system with monthly rewards if you want.

Never stop. Keep motivated. Look for inspiration if you must, and keep negative thoughts out. Doubt accomplishes nothing but slowing you down. Stay informed and stay safe whenever in the bowl. 

Be the first. Initiate light skin contact, eye contact, or even conversation. You will seem interested, making them feel special. This also makes them crave the attention once it is lost. Then, let him chase you. This prolongs a SB/SD relationship.

Never buy it if someone else can. Keep a wishlist. You can suggest it when bringing up your birthday (real or not) or even suggesting getting new clothes that would make you both look good. You have more money to save when someone shops for you.

Learn to take breaks. If you don’t take a day off from everything one or two days a week, you will crash. Not only will you lose enthusiasm but, you will be desensitized to the things you do regularly.

Make your SD shine and you will shine. If your SD were happy, not just ‘satisfied’, don’t you think he’d want to spoil you? Wouldn’t it be easier to ask for more? Never act like you’re too good – instead treat them as if you compliment them well. That way they cannot replace you easily. Remember, having a SB is a big ego boost for them.

How to Turn Vanilla to Sugar

I was just giving some advice to a follower of mine when I realised it was a fabulous advice post, so I’m sharing it all with you. - You’re welcome

Not every rich man is generous!

That’s the sad truth! a man may have money but he may be stingy with it. When you see this happening, admit your losses, move on, and don’t hold a grudge. It will only hinder your efforts.

There are little tests you can do to ascertain a man’s generosity.

I will touch on this in the posts in a few weeks. But here’s an example just for you sugar.

The Headphone Test

G.L.Lambert touches on this in his book ‘Ho Tactics’. He talks about when you are on a date to go an meet a man, create a fake lil emergency that he should help you with. For example, tell him that you left your earphones/headphones in the taxi/ bus/ train and ask hi if he could pick you up a pair on his way to meet you.

Different types of men respond to this differently.

Salt: they tell you that they don’t have any cash on hem, or whatever excuse. Or perhaps they buy you earphones from the pound store. Maybe he even goes as far as telling you that instead he will try and help you call the transport you used, to see if you can retrieve them. If this, or something similar happens, run for the god-damn, hills and never come back, he is salt.

Splenda: This man maybe gives you his moderately expensive headphones he has at home and tells you to keep them. Possibly, he buys you some regular headphones on his way and presents them to you, Either way, he finds a way to give you headphones that aren’t cheap, but aren’t necessarily expensive either.

Sugar: Our favourite type of man buys you beats, or 50 cent headphones, or whatever expensive headphones are trending when you read this. He could also tell you that he’ll take you to go get a new pair when you finish your date

One thing I will caution you on, is not to leave the date without deciphering what kind of man he is. So don’t accept any promises for buyng you some headphones online when ou get home. There is no time like now! Yes he could buy them in a couple of days, or maybe not, but the point isn’t for new headphones, the whole point of this is to determine his sugar … or salt level. You do not want to  have wasted 2 weeks talking to this guy only for the headphones to arrive and they are from Topshop.

Converting a vanilla into sugar is not a quick process

Unlike website like Seeking Arrangement, men don’t come with the notion ‘I’m going to be a Sugar Daddy’ already in mind. You have to treat this like a normal relationship. A lot of these men will run if they heard you say ‘sugar daddy’, often because they have negative connotations of sugar relationship, or they think you are a gold digger, or they don’t want to feel like an ‘old man’. SO it requires more thinking, your goal is to finesse things slowly from this man/woman, then ultimately work your way to your go whether it’s a 5K allowance or trophy wife status.

There are two ways to approach this. I’ve based these on acctual scientific research (because nerd obvs) and personal experience turning vanilla to sweet sweet sugar.

Surge, Retreat, Approach

I’m sure you’ve heard it before. Here’s the concept, in order to make someone more likely to do what you want, make a big request. Usually something extravagant or very large. In order words, it’s essential that it is way more outlandish than your actual goal. Why? Because there’s a 99% chance that you will be rejected! ‘Why do I want to be rejected Bronzy I here you say? Well it’s because your next request (your goal) will seem a lot more reasonable. Therefore, now they’ve stopped panicking and think ‘’that’s not as bad, I can actually do that’. And this is a superb tactic to use on splenda. Because you could have asked him your goal straight up, and chances are, if he’s splenda, he wouldn’t be able to ‘afford it’ or he’s only be able to provide something half as expensive. So with this you have raised the bar, so when he brings that bar down, it’s exactly where you wanted it to be in the first place. 

This is something I used on a POT I was rinsing recently. Through conversation I could tell he was quite tight fisted, but I don’t let that out me off. I asked him to buy me a wallet, he accepted and told me to send him the link. So I sent him two options, One super expensive wallet ( that personally i would not even buy if I had the money) and the wallet I actually wanted. I told him to ‘pick the one he thinks would look best on me’ and just like I had anticipated, he picked the cheapest option, (the bag I wanted). This is just one example of how Surge, Retreat, Approach can work (please read the disclaimer at the bottom).

Seeking Steadily

This is the most effective, but also time consuming method. If you are rinsing (i.e, getting them coins w/out any intention of intimacy or physical contact), then I would be wary using this approach. This is the notion of asking for small things at a time, then gradually working your way up to your goal. When you ask someone to do you a small favour, they then become 40%** more likely to agree to your larger (goal request) than if you were to ask them outright. 

Let’s get nerdy for a bit. The study i saw, had the goal of getting home-owners to put up a large sign in their front garden.. In the first experiment, the straight out asked the home-owners if they would put the sign in their front garden. Less than 50% of subjects agreed. In the second experiment, they asked the home-owners, if they could put a small sticker in front of their house. Of those that accepted, they then came back a week or so later, and asked if they could put the sign in there front garden. As you’ve guessed, way more subjects allowed their front garden to display the large sign.

In summary, get someone to commit to something small, and they are way more likely to agree to your larger and ultimate goal.

So for example, you’ve put on your wishlist to have a Givenchy bag by Christmas. So come October or November, as your vanilla or splenda to buy you a wallet or shoes (anything that costs at most, half the price of your goal), then come Christmas, it’s time to ask for what you actually want. The same applies to ultimately getting an allowance from a man. It takes dedication, but it’s how I changed Director from Vanilla, to gift daddy, to splenda, to ultimately, sugar daddy. Next stop, whale! Stick around to see if I make it

BronzedSugarUK

*Surge, Retreat, Approach, although quicker, is more high risk than Seeking Steadily because there is a possibility, that certain men will be frighten by your expensive/ outlandish request and just leave, without you having the chance to negotiate.

** I don’t remember the exact figure, that’s just an estimation.

Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)

Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.

My sister just got me started on Memrise for Japanese a few days ago and wow, it’s amazing. It’s not just flashcards but a combination of audio+visual+writing and uses user-submitted, ranked-by-vote mnemonic devices whenever possible. Plus, the way it keeps track of your progress is like a game, giving you points for doing well and letting you compete with other people. :) 

And you get a bunch of extra points for reviewing old material at set intervals to make sure it sticks in your long term memory! Not to mention it has a very cute design, having each character/word/phrase be a ‘plant’ you have to keep ‘watered.’

A Few Insights on How to Build Success With Law of Attraction

We live in a belief driven Universe. What we send out comes back to us in one way or another, and our beliefs are a big part of what we send out. Our levels of success, quite literally, are the results of what we believe.

One of the best first steps that can be taken, to effectively build success with law of attraction, is to begin each day expressing gratitude for all that you are grateful for.

The shift from believing you can, and believing you can’t - or believing that you are undeserving, is literally so much smaller than we make it out to be.

If the shift seems big, it is our own beliefs that are believing that the shift is that big. When really, you could make that shift very quick.

Get into the habit of expressing gratitude each morning. As you form this habit it will start to be a very inspirational experience. The good vibes will begin to multiply, positivity will expand, love will expand, and positive success with law of attraction will grow bigger too.

Also, keep track of all the successes that you have already had with Law of Attraction. This will help you see that you are having success and that you are progressing in the positive direction.

Remember, what you focus on expands!

You can even add some of your successes with law of attraction, big or small, into your morning expressions of gratitude.

Next, keep a list of the goals you have (current and future - big and small).

If your goal is to have easier success with law of attraction, write that down on your list and then each day spend some time each imagining, talking, or thinking about that goal as if it has already happened.

This will get you into the habit of sending out success with your own vibes first. The habit of sending out success will also help you have better habits of belief.

As your habits of belief change, your reality will change around you because it has effectively changed from within you.

Also, flip all of your can'ts, excuses, and justifications from what you don’t want into what you “do” want.

After you flip them into what you do want, you can add them into the list of things that you imagine, talk, and or think about, as if they have already happened.

This will also help you form new beliefs and new habits.

These are just a few insights.

Wishing a lot of positive results, via law of attraction, for everyone who reads this.

Peace be with you and thank you for reading this.

Everyone who reads this, you are on my list of things that I am grateful for.

What are you grateful for?

I challenge you to come up with 10 things that you are grateful for. Then reblog them with this post, comment on this post with them, send me a message listing them, and or post a post about it today.

This will help you start increasing the habit of getting into those gratitude vibes.

Again, peace be with you.

Helping Students Memorize: Tips from Cognitive Science

Although there is more to learning than regurgitating facts on an exam, memorization is an important route to building content knowledge and expertise.

Here are some ways to help students manage memorization:

Emphasize context and purpose. Ask yourself why students are being asked to memorize these facts in the first place. If students can readily answer that question and if they can picture future situations in which they will use the information, they will be better primed to remember it.

Break down new vocabulary words, especially those that are more than two syllables long. Allow time to rehearse and remember the first couple of syllables before tacking on later ones. Also keep in mind that this process will be easier for some students than others due to wide variation in phonological loop capacity; you may want to design in a “mastery learning” or other individualized approach for vocabulary so that students can move through at their own pace.

Visualize information. For most people, imagery is highly memorable, perhaps because so much of the brain is devoted to visual processing. Memory champions, such as the ones populating the best seller Moonwalking with Einstein, use elaborate visualization strategies to achieve incredible feats of memorization. Similarly, strategies such as the keyword mnemonic work by linking word sounds to images (such as using an image of a cowboy on a horse to remember the Spanish word “caballo,” which sounds a bit like “cowboy”).

Take advantage of the “Big Three” applied memory principles—testing, spacing, and interleaving. Briefly, these refer to the facts that quizzes are a great way to study and that we do best when we spread out our study sessions and alternate between different topics. Tackling a big memory project such as human anatomy means we need every advantage we can get, and dozens of research studies have supported these three as producing the biggest memory payoff for the time invested.

Avoid the rereading trap. Students tend to fall into passively reviewing material, and in doing so they miss the key advantage of techniques such as testing: retrieval practice. Retrieval practice strengthens memory, but it works only when we actively challenge memory. Flash cards, a favorite student strategy, are fine as long as students use them to actively quiz themselves.
