0:04.1	I'm so excited.
0:05.3	What can a man do to become more attractive to the right woman? And what does that
0:11.9	question mean to the right woman and how do we become more attractive for her?
0:18.4	We're starting off hot and I like it.'t do i don't do intros in the podcast
0:23.7	a little more and just go right in the conversation i love it i love it i think it's interesting
0:28.2	when i would have thought like what was the right woman or who was the right woman when i was
