Author B.D. Foley shares tips from his new book "CIA Street Smarts for Women: How to Tell the Prince from the Predator." Learn tips and tricks on how to discern whether he's really a "good guy" or not. Techniques to draw out his true colors before you've decided to go on that second date.

Key Points from B.D.'s Street Smarts Conversation:
- Importance of tuning in and listening to your gut.
- Women are well-equipped with a sixth sense to tap into. They often "knew" when something bad was going to happen such as rape or an attack.
- The importance of "testing" the person to see if they have dangerous traits such as anger and arrogance. [18:00]
- Using elicitation and compliments to draw out his or her true character traits.
- Why being comfortable with "offending" someone is important.
- Importance of drawing clear and firm boundaries early in a relationship and first meeting.
- Being safe with first dates, especially internet dates.
- Meeting for coffee in a public place vs. out to dinner and drinks where you may be more vulnerable.
- Why dinner dates create more vulnerability ex. ploys to trade equal favor i.e. you owe me. And the vulnerability of alcohol as a way to dull your alert system and give him a way in.
- The assumption ploy. Statements to draw out his true response.
Note: Operational testing is only limited by your creativity. Have fun with it! This is your well being and your future, treat it with the high stakes respect it deserves.
