Impact Makes Connection Part 1 (Kezia)

Kezia — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:51:39 +0000

Why is creating connection with a woman so important? And how can you achieve it?

I will be giving you a female perspective on this, and will show you the steps you need to understand in order for you to obtain a deep and significant connection with a woman.

I will also explain why you can benefit immensely if you manage to make a deep connection with her and how you can use this particular skill for years to come.

External/surface/superficial connection

This is the type of connection that guys should make if they are in a rush, and literally don’t have time to make a deeper connection with the woman, (i.e. day game when she is rushing a long a busy street) this is usually fairly easy to do.

Examples of surface connections:

Enjoying the same type of films
Coming from the same town
Doing the same line of work
Sharing any general interests or hobbies
Sharing the same sense of humour
Liking the same type of music

In a world consisting of billions of people. We can find a certain sense of comfort by finding even the most flimsy form of connection with a random person. Whether it’s the fact that they come from the same area/town that we are from. Whether we share the same Zodiac sign (sad but true) or if they happen to be in the same line of work as us.

Making surface connections with a woman are also a good way to create a “reason” (other than seducing her) to meet up again.

Man: “Yeah, he’s one of my favourite actors too, we should catch that new movie he’s in..” etc etc

This information is all very obvious and is common knowledge, so there is no need for me to elaborate the point any further of why obtaining surface connections can be very useful.

However, if you DO have time, you should try your best to make a deeper connection with her.

Making a deeper connection with a woman would create a number of changes in the her state of mind and would alter her opinion of you (positively of course), and as a result of these slight mind shifts forming on in her head, mood shifts will follow, and finally the energy and direction of the interaction between you both will improve dramatically.

Making a deeper connection will get her to open up, and start explaining how she FEELS and REACTS about things. And this will give you a wonderful insight in to her mind (ever heard the expression that knowledge and information is power?)
A deeper connection creates a “special” and “private” moment between you and her that no one else can touch or get in to.
When a deeper connection is made, a moment is created, where she feels like you ‘know’ her (and she knows you) on a very personal level (psychologically)

And by doing this she temporarily places you in the same category as the people in her life that she has known for years. These are people who she can trust, who she respects and they are people who she can be comfortable and relaxed with.

Understanding the formula of making deep connection helps men to reduce the chances of getting flaky numbers.

So why do men avoid making deep connection?

Men usually have much more of a “bravado” in comparison to woman, and they are much more conscious of what image they wish to display to others, and generally men will only lower that bravado and drop the “bull shit” with a very few select people. Some men cannot even bare the thought of crying in front of people; even the very idea makes them cringe.

Men view strength, confidence and success as the attractive qualities they must uphold in order to obtain respect from both men and woman, and so obviously crying or admitting that they have problems, fears, Insecurities etc would only serve to damage their image that they have spent years in perfecting.

Now DON’T PANIC! I know you are thinking that this is going to be the part where I try to change you, and tell you to drop the bravado and start showing your inner emotions, fears, vulnerabilities and insecurities and become one of these ‘new age metrosexual men’

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I can’t think of anything worse than going out with a “big girls blouse” This is a term I unfortunately find myself using more and more due to the fact that men are being told to act like “a wimp” in order to connect with woman.

Having a guy take me out on a date, and who wants to talk about emotions and feelings all evening and how he feels weak and/or unloved or a guy who wants to divulge every nitty gritty insecurity he has would completely turn me off, . Me and my friends often ring each other after an unsuccessful date, and it’s becoming increasingly more common for us to complain that the man made us feel too strong, too alpha too powerful for him to handle. Anyway, that’s a different story for another time.

The point I’m making here, is that I have no intention in giving you any advice that will make you come across needy, new age, metrosexual or effeminate. (There’s enough woman monthly magazines making a good job of that already)

Women do not share the guys obsessive need to KEEP UP SOME SORT OF BRAVADO. Granted that woman DO where bravado, but the difference is that they can feel a great sense of relief when it comes down. (Unlike men who feel temporarily exposed and vulnerable when their bravado comes down)

We are more open to talking about how we feel, our insecurities, fears and needs, but because men feel that divulging such information to a stranger is almost alien to them. They subsequently presume that women feel the same, and so they choose to avoid making deeper connections with the woman.

Us women however, do not consider that talking about our problems, feelings, insecurities and emotions as weak. We can really enjoy and embrace that moment when we can finally stop playing the role of “Miss Bitch” or “Miss Perfect” or “Miss Sex Kitten” or whatever role we have chosen to convey for that evening, week, month, life time. It really feels like a sense of release when we can be “our selves”,

Men would do well to understand this about woman, and rather than him seeing it through his own perspective, he should instead see it through her eyes..

Just because your mates don’t want to open up and share their feelings with one and other, and just because you might see it as an act which could tarnish your reputation or image, doesn’t mean that woman share this view point.

Do not presume that the girl with “The bitch bravado” is a cold heartless and evil person. Do not presume that the “shy girl mask” is boring and has nothing shocking or interesting to offer. Do not presume that the girl with “Bimbo” image is empty and insincere. Like you guys we put on a mask and create a bravado, alter ego what ever you want to call it for a number of different reasons. If you can get past that mask, you will not embarrass her or make feel uncomfortable like how most men would feel. Instead you will make her feel relaxed and the respect she has for you will increase dramatically. Far more than the guys who get caught up on just the surface level.

In the next part I will share with you the step-by-step process that I teach my students in order for them to obtain a deep and lasting connection with a woman, with out you having to alter the macho / alpha strong image that you might have worked on for so long perfecting.

In Impact Makes Connection Part 2, I will be explaining how you can begin making a deep connection with impact.

Check Your Ego At The Door

Donovan — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:41:04 +0000

Let’s talk a little about relationships today…

Anyone who has read me knows that there is something I say over and over again (because it is so important!): To be able to truly love yourself and to truly be able to love someone else, you must drop the ego. This is absolutely essential to finding an amazing relationship, but it’s equally critical to maintaining and continually improving a relationship once you’re already in it.

Nothing will kill a relationship (even the best of relationships) more quickly than ego. Here are 6 ways your ego can kill your relationship, and how to avoid having your ego ruin your relationship.

1.Resist The Temptation To Defend Yourself: Think about the number of times you’ve fought with a significant other, and whenever things get a little heated you start to defend yourself. All you hear is you being attacked, and you immediately go into “defending yourself” mode. Do you know that when you defend yourself in a fight, what’s really happening is your ego is defending itself.

It also means that you’ve stopped listening to the other person. If someone tells you that they don’t like the way you’ve been acting lately, why not hear them out instead of defending yourself? It will almost always create a MUCH better outcome.

2.To Love Yourself And Someone Else Completely You Must Separate The Ego: In order to truly love someone, you must separate your ego from yourself. This is also true if you want to be able to totally love yourself. Now, I know that in a perfect world, we would never be ego-driven. This is not a perfect world of course, so let’s get real. We are all ego-driven to some extent or another, so let’s acknowledge it and embrace that we need to separate the ego to cultivate and maintain a truly amazing relationship with someone.

3.Your Ego Can Ruin Any Conversation: The truth is that no matter how much you prepare, plan and hope for a good conversation with your significant other, your ego is the one thing that will consistently ruin any conversation you’re about to have if you let it.

Let’s say your significant other is frustrated with you in one way or another and really needs to express something about that to you. How do you respond? If you let your ego get involved and you defend yourself, it means that you’re not listening to them.

In order to really listen to somebody, it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes your significant other has things that are really bothering them about which they want to talk to you, but which you would rather not hear. To maintain a great relationship, however, you can’t let your ego keep you from really listening.

4.You Have To Be Willing To Drop The Ego And Learn To Have A Healthy Relationship: If you want to really be able to get deep with someone and take your relationship to a deep level, then you need to be able to take your ego out of the equation. You will always attract somebody who is just like yourself, because you really attract who you are as a person. Also, your significant other is going to do things that you don’t recognize. It may be voices, patterns, communication styles or other things with which you aren’t familiar.

You need to be open and able to learn these things about your significant other, and your ego will keep you from doing this every time. All of us need to learn things about our significant other every single day. We need to learn our significant other’s communication style, because many times your communication styles will be very different.

5.Dropping The Ego Doesn’t Mean You Need To Change Who You Are: It can take a lot for you to drop the ego, really listen to your significant other and realize that they need you say something in a different way or understand how the way you communicate may make them feel a certain way. A lot of people misunderstand these kind of requests as being their significant other’s attempt to change them. It’s not.

They’re not trying to change you, they are trying to improve the way you communicate with each other. They are trying to get the two of you to be able to communicate better than you ever have in the past. Don’t let your ego get in the way. Embrace this!

6. Ego Causes Those “Low Blowers” Which Are The Biggest Relationship Killers: Do you get frustrated when you’re having an argument with a significant other? Of course, we all do. When that happens, though, sometimes the ego will cause you to hurl what I call “low blowers” at the other person.

You’re feeling hurt, so you lash out and say something you know will make the other person hurt too. It was not only hurtful, but inevitably something stupid. By listening to your significant other, instead of lashing out from your ego, you can get through an argument without these low blows and they will be much more constructive (and not destructive to your relationship).

So the next time you see your ego getting involved in your relationship, get rid of it! If you find yourself defending yourself or not allowing you to really listen, then you need to take a step back. Listen carefully to what’s really being said, and use it to create the most amazing relationship.

Does It Ever Fizzle Out After A Great Pickup?

Donovan — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:19:11 +0000

I’m Nick Savoy, and I run Love Systems (formerly Mystery Method Corp) and if you feel a solid “pickup” slipping away, keep these three rules handy.

SECRET #1: Bait, don’t chase

When a woman seems to be slipping away, most guys (at least most guys who don’t know Love Systems) will chase her harder. She didn’t answer the last text? Call her! Phone calls are short? Ask her out!

It’s logical, but counter-productive.

You want her to invest her time and emotional energy in you. But once you’ve asked her a couple of times, continuing to push the same offer on her will make her want it (and you) LESS.

It’s the same with any kind of investment. Let’s say your friend Joe wants you to invest in his new business. You keep dodging the question but Joe keeps asking or hinting at it. The more he does this, the more SURE you are that you don’t want to invest. And after a while, you stop answering Joe’s calls because you smell his agenda a mile away.

A BETTER WAY

What if Joe recognized that you didn’t want to invest. Instead of pressuring you, he backed off, talked about other things, and only casually once in a while referred to his business but without asking you for anything. It sounds like it’s doing well, and one day he invites you to drop by and visit.

Well, you can do that can’t you? And if you liked what you saw, what’s going to happen next? You’ll probably ask HIM if he’s interested in more investors. Just like a beautiful woman will often start hinting at date opportunities and places to meet up when you’ve got some emotional momentum going.

The first key is to LOWER THE INVESTMENT LEVEL YOU ARE ASKING OF HER. There are many ways to do this, depending on the situation, but here are some of the big ones:

Texts instead of phone calls
Light, fun conversation instead of serious topics
Conversation for the sake of it alone instead of making plans
Shorter rather than longer phone calls (and text messages)
In summary – take a step back, make sure she’s with you, and then start going forward and building momentum again… together.

SECRET #2: Be in the moment

Tell me if this story sounds familiar. You met a woman you’re interested in. She is all over you, insists you take her number, promises to make you dinner this weekend and implies that she might be the desert…

… but it’s not that same girl when (if?) you get her on the phone. She’s actually busy this weekend and doesn’t suggest another date.

Well, that’s not fair, is it?

Darn right it isn’t. Before I learned Love Systems and changed my life around, this used to get me so frustrated. Sometimes I’d even call the girl and ask what the heck happened. (There’s no point doing that either.)

To explain what’s going on and what to do, I’m going to take you on a little detour.

I love playing board games. It’s a very nerdy hobby – I’m not talking about games people know, like Trivial Pursuit or Monopoly. I’m talking about games no one has heard of – detailed games re-fighting ancient wars, and so on.

(Obviously, this isn’t something most women can relate to. But, it’s my hobby and I’m passionate about it. Since women are attracted by emotion, not logic (you should know this), the average swimsuit model will genuinely prefer to hear me passionately talk about board games and why I love them more than Mr. Generic boring her droning on about his cars and money. Like Love Systems expert Mr. M wrote recently that she feels what you feel. I’ll take passionate over bored any day.)

Anyway… there’s one game I used to play a lot called Diplomacy. It’s a game of negotiation, betrayal, and intrigue, with a bit of military strategy thrown in. I used to be fairly good, but not great. At tournaments, I’d often get to the “final table” (the top seven players, since it’s a seven-player game) and just as often be one of the first players eliminated.

Almost ten years ago, at the World Boardgaming Championships (yes, it does exist), I deliberately got a previous year’s champion drunk so he’d tell me my flaw. See, one of the lessons I learned in school from a Goldman Sachs guest lecturer was “Alcohol Works.” I stick with good advice wherever I find it.

My flaw? Not strategy. Not tactics. Not negotiation.

Optimistic self-delusion.

He told me he could pull the wool over my eyes by figuring out what it was that I wanted to believe, and then use that against me while he prepared to stab me in the back. If I was playing France and I really wanted to believe that my English ally wasn’t about to attack me, then I’d believe just about any explanation the English player would give me… Before he stuck the knife in.

“Play the board as it is, not how you want it to be.”

Board games are silly, but the lesson isn’t. It’s funny how many times I’ve repeated that exact phrase without anyone asking where or what this “board” was about. But the meaning is clear, and very applicable to Love Systems.

The woman you want was all over you last night? That was last turn. Board’s changed.

A woman is in your neighborhood and wants to come over tonight after being standoffish for weeks? Board’s changed. Tomorrow she might not want to. You’ll get nowhere by saying “but last night you wanted to,” at least no further than I’d get in a Diplomacy game saying “but last turn you didn’t have an army next to Paris.”

SECRET #3: Know Your Moves

The great thing about Love Systems being “bottom up” – we start by figuring out what works and only THEN put theories and structure on top of it – is that literally every part of attracting beautiful women can be made easier.

So, even with something as specific as how to get a girl who has drifted way back in the orbit, there’s a body of Love Systems knowledge. There are even a bunch of specific texts and things to say on the phone in the Phone and Text Game chapter of the Love Systems Routines Manual.

But I’ll give you a classic one, right now, with my compliments:

“I just met your twin.”

This works whether you haven’t talked in months or whether you just want to spark some energy. It doesn’t require major investment on her part. It implies that you are meeting other women and if some of them are similar to her and responding to you, maybe she should make her move now before you get away.

This is something impossible to say directly and difficult to convey… which makes this such a powerful text.

It’s a strange phenomenon, but women are more interested in you if they know that other women are interested in you too. We call this “Pre-selection” and it is one of the eight basic ways to attract beautiful women. This was first explained in my book, Magic Bullets (Magic Bullets Review), and then discussed in our Interview Series volumes Introduction to Attraction (Savoy and The Don), Identity (Tenmagnet, Sinn, and Future), and Female Psychology (Savoy and Soul).

Whether you already have a set of go-to moves that work all the time for you or whether you are using the phone and text game routines from Volume 2 of the Love Systems Routines Manual (Routines Manual Review), make sure you track your results!

The ideas and strategies that work – those are your moves. That’s how you’ll learn.

Savoy PUA In Depth Field Report

Donovan — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:40:29 +0000

Nick Savoy from Love Systems emailed me his BRILLIANT breakdown of a pick up for your study and enjoyment. Get as much out of this as you can! Gold.

Women have different rules for men who “get it” – men who have women in their life – than they do for men who don’t.

In other words, men who understand women get to play by a different set of rules. My friend TD called this the “secret society” — but it’s not a secret if you know what to look for. Men in this club don’t take any one conversation with an individual woman too seriously, don’t put women on a pedestal and hold them to expectations of nun-like purity, and aren’t judgmental to women who enjoy their sexuality. Women will let such men get away with things they’d never find acceptable in other guys – or in the same guy before he “got it”.

I’ll explain with an example – one that also lends itself to tangents about picking up 9s and 10s, and threesomes. So, hold on tight.

A few years ago, a friend introduced me to “Karen”, then one of the top up-and-coming fashion designers in Los Angeles. At the time, I was only just starting to piece together the secrets of meeting an dating beautiful women – the techniques that I later revealed in my book Magic Bullets and now form the basis for Love Systems’ teaching worldwide. But, with some difficulty, I was able to date and then seduce her. She might even have been my first “10”.

During this time, Karen’s behavior was pretty typical of a young beautiful woman dating an average guy. She resisted my advances at first and made me work. She didn’t sleep with me right away. She didn’t seem especially sexual (without being a prude). She claimed to have no interest in threesomes and told me she’d only been with six men in her life. She was… “normal”. I did finally close the deal on the third date and we dated for a while after that, but because we both traveled all the time, we never got to see each other and ended up as casual friends.

(Which actually worked out great, because hot fashion designers have hot friends and hot models they work with. Using a precursor to the literally game-changing techniques designed by Mr. M and Braddock in their Social Circle Mastery program, I worked my way into a great position in her social circle and have hooked up with a few of her friends – we’ll get to why this is important in a moment)

Fast forward to last weekend. I was teaching an advanced invitation-only bootcamp at the Playboy Mansion. The main event was this big fashion show, and a student and I interrupted our debrief to watch. We saw the most unreal girl walk the runway – the 2nd most beautiful woman I’ve ever met in Los Angeles. Tall, perfect body, beautiful face, perfect skin (I’m a sucker for perfect skin) and that long soft straight blonde hair I love so much. And a walk that conveyed complete confidence and intense sexuality. She was not only a 10, she defined 10s. We’ll call her Lara.

One of the guys wanted me to pick her up. I wanted me to pick her up. I could feel the whole Love Systems community wanting me to pick her up. OK, maybe that’s going too far. Let’s just say that the vodka from the Playboy Mansion open bar also wanted me to pick her up. But I did relish the challenge – captivating the obvious star runway model in the center of the Playboy Mansion grounds surrounded by cameras and…because there’s no other way to put it…hordes of horny dudes. Those guys did NOT want me to pick her up.

The mechanics of the pickup actually weren’t all that different from any of the countless pickups that happen every night around the world using the Magic Bullets model. Since most readers are already familiar with these I won’t waste time on the easy stuff; I’ll just hit some of the twists and turns.

First off, I don’t like to approach the “star of the show” head-on. An actress signing autographs, a model getting photographed, a singer coming off-stage, these women are already surrounded with men sucking up to them.

This is why when I occasionally do private programs on how to pick up and date a porn star, guys are usually surprised when I tell them to stay AWAY from official events, autographing signings, etc. There are MUCH better places to meet them, where the balance of power is a bit more in your favor.

But at the Mansion, there wasn’t going to be a second chance. So the next best course was to “rebound” into a conversation with her. I started talking to two guys who among the many surrounding her. And then when the moment was right (she just finished a conversation), I pivoted to her as if I’d been arguing with these two guys about something, and jumped straight into a shortened version of LBD’s text message breakup opinion opener from the Love Systems Routines Manual.

Yes, the humble opinion opener – which I still use.

(It’s funny – I sometimes get emails from people who ask me for the “secret” routines that I use. When we want a routine, we go the same places everyone else does – the Love Systems Routines Manual).

If you’ve read Magic Bullets, you know what came next. I know I wouldn’t have much time, and had to race to at least get to the Comfort phase of the 6-step Emotional Progression Model. This meant getting quickly through the Transition, Attraction, and Qualification. It wasn’t easy, because guys were interrupting us every 2.4 seconds and when she started leaning in to me to show she was attracted, one of her girlfriends came over to “rescue” her. Meanwhile, one of her manager people was trying to move her to somewhere else she supposedly needed to be.

Taking her home was going to mean work, if it was even possible, and I had workshop guys to get back to. So I got her phone number, arranged to have a drink with her the next night, and left.

Here’s where the lessons come in. A guy who didn’t “get it” – who took every women seriously when he first met her, who didn’t understand how female psychology and sexual decision-making worked would have taken her on a traditional date, hoping to get somewhere by the end of the night. No problem with dates – I use them when I don’t have a better option – but I knew I only had one shot with her (they’d only brought her in from New York for the show) and wanted to seal the deal in the one night I knew we’d have together.

I invited a bunch of my friends (ah, the joy of mass text messages) to a bustling outdoor bar/café that would have great social energy, drinks, and food. (i.e., no excuses to have to go somewhere else). I invited mostly girls, but also brought one of the students from the private advanced bootcamp along so he could see how things should look.

One of the girls who showed up was Karen, who I hadn’t seen in six months. I must have texted her 10 times in the past six months with no response. A guy who doesn’t have girls might have gotten frustrated or deleted her number. To me, it didn’t matter. I still thought she was cool, even if she was busy or not answering, and it doesn’t cost me anything to keep inviting her. So when she showed up, there was no “edge” – no under the surface wondering why she hadn’t been responding before. I was just happy to have her as part of my night and enjoy the moment without worrying about the past or the future. That’s what guys who have women do.

Lara was still the woman I was interested in. Karen and I had hooked up enough times before, I could take it or leave it. Whenever I am in a group situation with my friends and a woman I am interested in, I follow the same pattern (WRITE THIS DOWN)

• Put the girl you’re interested in beside you

• All the touching goes to her (ideally under the table)

• All the conversation goes to everyone else

Lara was resisting my under the table touching at first. When did she start reciprocating? About five minutes after she realized that I’d hooked up with both of the other women at the table. Don’t confuse this with Pre-selection. Pre-selection is an attraction switch – one of the eight revealed in Magic Bullets – but I was well past Attraction at this point. No, what this conveyed was that I was a guy who had women in my life and that I “get it”.

I wasn’t jealous or controlling with the girls I’ve hooked up with. I just enjoyed their company, and them mine. Even though Karen and I were having boiling sexual tension, both of the other women looked on in approval as Lara and I started connecting physically.

After a while of that, I sealed the deal when I leaned in to whisper in her ear:

Me: What kind of women are you attracted to? [I’d already established that she has hooked up with women in the past]

Lara: [Lists some qualities]

Me: What do you think of Karen?

Lara: She’s beautiful…etc.

Me: Well, no promises, but I’ll see if I can convince her to join us when we go home later

I want to make this clear – up to this point we’d never kissed, never really talked about sex, and certainly never discussed going home and having sex that night. But when she passively accepted the frame that I set with the last line above, the question changed from “where is this going tonight?” to “will this be a regular hookup tonight or will it be a threesome”?

It’s similar – but far more effective – to when I used to joke around with women on dates about whether the night was going to end with us having sex once or twice. Either choice I win, and even said jokingly, as long as she doesn’t object, it helps establish the frame.

[This "joking" to introduce sexual themes is covered in more detail with more examples by superstars Braddock and Kisser in their interview on Sexualization]

It seems like a little thing, but it’s not. As I always emphasize when I teach, the dividing line between a woman sleeping with you or not sleeping with you can be exceedingly narrow. Lara was fully intending to have a drink with me, flirt, maybe kiss a bit, but leave it at that. This changed the game.

Once I’d told Lara that I’d try to get Karen home with us, I fortified that frame a couple of times with “no promises, but I’ll see what I can do”. And then of course I started shifting my attention to Karen. Who had seen Lara clearly into me and me responding, etc. After I had made out with her, Karen said the punchline that is the reason why I wrote this article in the first place:

“I love you because you’re such a whore”

I don’t know if it was just because I’d gone from heavy touching with Lara to making out with her – without embarrassment – or because I’d hooked up with her friends (and been discreet enough never to mention it to her…she found out from them, not me), or just because I was conveying that attitude, but it was interesting because Karen changed at that moment.

Gone was the woman who had been more or less typical with me up to that point. Now she was openly talking her sexual experiences, letting me touch her in public in ways that I had had to struggle to do in private before, etc., etc. It’s not that Karen changed. It’s that in her mind, I’d changed. I’d gone from a cool, fun, but normal guy in her mind to a guy that has women. Who “gets it”.

• Guys who have women in their life are safe. They won’t freak out when a woman doesn’t call back or has to cancel.

• Guys who have women in their life aren’t jealous or controlling,.

• Guy who have women in their life aren’t judgmental. They understand that women are complex and multi-dimensional and can’t simply be labeled virgins or whores.

Closing the deal from that point on was just basic logistical mechanics.

Look, I’m going to be straight with you here. You’re not going to be having threesomes with two 10s as soon as you read Magic Bullets and the Love Systems Routines Manual (though some of the sexualization routines in Volume 2 are pretty intense). You will need to practice, and it will take some time to integrate it all. A bootcamp is a giant-ass shortcut to getting good instantly, but you’re still going to have to practice some.

But what I will say is this: There’s nothing in this particular pickup that isn’t taught at a bootcamp. In fact, I’d even say that there’s nothing in this pickup that couldn’t have been pieced together from a combination of Magic Bullets, both Routines Manuals, and a couple of interview series volumes to cover any sticking points or advanced subjects on the way.

So if you’re sitting around wanting to get better with women – at least meet me halfway. Get a hold of the basic information you need to succeed. Like Magic Bullets or the Love Systems Routines Manual.

Love Systems Vs Real Social Dynamics Bootcamp

Donovan — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:43:49 +0000

Have you considered taking a boot camp? The major players are probably Love Systems, PUATraining and Real Social Dynamics. This comparative review was posted over at the Love Systems forum which may be very valuable for those considering taking one. This user post was in regards to Braddock’s bootcamp in Washington, April 2009.

My story:

About two years ago, late on a Friday night alone at home (which was a common theme for me) I was flipping through channels bored as hell. It just so happened, as I was scrolling through my channel guide, I saw a show called “The Pick-Up Artist” on VH1. Too lazy to hop on the computer for porn, I guess I was hoping there would be some hot chick I’d spank it to. By now, I’m sure everyone in the community has heard of the show that blew the secret off the “secret” society. Well I didn’t end up jerking off to it (was scared jerking off to the cross dressing Mystery would make me gay), but it fucking flipped my world inside out and upside down. After watching the show, of course, like every other AFC that saw the show, I had to try this shit out.

The following week, I end up going out to a club in Baltimore with some of my nerd friends (I love em, but damn they can be lame). So I pick a line off the show (dental floss) and was going to bust it out and fucking close a chick for the first time in god knows how long. By the way, I didn’t tell any of my friends about the show and was just going to impress them with all the hot chicks I landed. So heading into the club with rap music fucking blaring through the speakers, packed with people shoulder to shoulder, strobe lights going on and off all over the place, the place is loaded with women. After about 30 minutes of staring at different women, I pick the girl (an 8). She’s the blonde standing over by the bar in a hot little black dress with red heels looking like she ready for me to come over there grab her, take her into the bathroom and give her the fucking she was waiting for. At that very moment, my heart starts beating out of my chest, I start sweating like I’m a fucking 400lb guy walking up 10 flights of stairs, and I become very aware of beer my friend spilled on me 10 minutes earlier that makes me look like I pissed myself . So I walk up next to her, about to say the line, and she looks over at me and I freeze (like a sweaty deer in headlights). We make eye contact for about 3 seconds and I turn to the bartender, order my normal jack and coke, and walk a way like the chode I was. And stand against the wall with the rest of my companions.

What the fuck just happened??? Needless to say, I don’t think that set went very well. So what did I need to do to improve, I knew the answer… Tivo the rest of the season of the Pick-Up Artist. That worked about as well as me a Turtle getting laid without Vince Chase.

Over the next few months, I spend hours everyday researching shit online, reading the Game by Style, and numerous books that are listed on forums and in the book. But I never get over approach anxiety and could never find the right words to say. Once in a blue moon, under the right circumstances (not too loud, the right song, an “approachable” set, with a perfect canned line for the situation) I open a set, but cannot nail any sort of real hook.

What is going on, what can I do to get over this shit and get that grade “A” pussy I’m looking for (you know the kind that taste like ice cream, not the shitty off brand stuff, but the Häagen-Dazs of pussy).

I finally decide to put some really value behind all of the teachings I had learned, I need in the field experience. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME. And for me to actually do that, I need some pushing me to open. In February of 08, I signed up for the San Francisco boot camp with RSD. This is going to the life altering training I need to break out of my chodeness, and release the inner alpha male.

Real Social Dynamics:

We are to meet at 7pm in a hotel lobby. I end up realizing who the other 2 students are, just by them having the same blank and nervous stare I had. My thoughts are racing and I’m scared shitless, but hey, 3 students to 1 instructor! This was going to be an awesome ratio, so much personal attention. The instructor shows up 7:25 (I was stressed, I was staring at my phone every 30 seconds, the only confidence I had to keep me in check was knowing I was in the right hotel cause the other two students were there.)

Finally, the PUA shows up, we begin to have our pick-up information given to us in the busy hotel lobby. He tells us to throw away everything we had learned as it was all shit. Canned lines never work; you have to become a natural now to be success with women, due to the book and the show fucking up the canned approaches. That totally makes sense, I get that. So what do I do? Be unreactive, assert dominance, give value, have core confidence. Ok great, how do I do that? The answer I received was defining what they were not demonstrating or giving examples so I couldn’t apply it to any actions or words. But fuck it, I’m going to try and do whatever I think it means. He’s the PUA, he gets paid for this, he knows what he talking about, right?

So before we head out, we get the rules. One of the first rules was that we could not ask the instructor to open a set. And which we never got to seem him do. He used having a girlfriend as an excuse. Another was “No game talk in the field” With that out of the way, we head to a nice upscale lounge and the night begins. He tells me to walk up to every set I see. I go, and immediately get blown out of the first set I approached, I return and ask what I did wrong and he replies “No game talk” and pushes towards another set. After 4 more blow outs, the night just began to grow dimmer and dimmer for me. Eventually, it just felt like my instructor gave up on me, when I said “I have no fucking idea what to say”. His response was, “it doesn’t matter”. My problem with that answer was, if I could successfully talk to women, would I have this dreaded approach anxiety? The night ends, all three of us with an unsuccessful night.

We meet up in the afternoon the next day. And after spending 2 hours waiting on the third student (apparently the instructor didn’t have his number) we realize he jumped ship. 2-1 ratio now. By this point, regardless of the ratio, I was not feeling very confident. Game talk begins again. This time, he goes over a few more cores of pick-up, of course, neither of us had been successful with the previous night so it was about logical as yelling at a dog for burning the toast your grandmother cooked in the oven a week ago.

After we broke to rest and prepare for the night, I said to myself, “Do whatever it takes to open.” So I pump myself up in my hotel, get to the bar, and my good friend, “AA”, hits me again. The first night, I didn’t drink because I wanted to focus on my game. Not tonight…I start off by pounding 3 shots, by the end of the night, and about $100 worth of drinks later, I had open tons of sets. I have no idea if they were successful, what I said, what I did, or where I lost my phone, but I opened sets. So I figured out what I needed to do to open sets, just get plastered and make a complete drunken ass out of myself.

The next day, hung-over and without a phone, we meet and spend 4 hours in a restaurant talking about day-2’s and phone game. This had an actual structure and was what I was looking for the entire boot camp. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t open successfully, which is needed to a date or get a number.

Once I finally went home, which is in Baltimore (yes, I flew from MD to San Fran for the boot camp) I just decided, pick up is not for me and I will just have to look for “4” to settle for. (Which sucks cause I can hardly get my dick hard for a 4) For the next year, I just dropped everything from the game and went back to my lonely life scrolling the TV for hot chicks on Friday nights, too lazy to walk over to my PC to find something to spank it to.

Love Systems:

A year passes…

Of course, when I was heavy into the forums, I signed up for every mailing list possible on pick-up (I receive like 5 a day from different sites, like I’m sure most of you reading this do). I never look at them but something caught my eye, a boot camp coming to DC. Took a look at it, and just out of curiosity replied to get a few more details about it. Well, I got a call from one of the sales guys and decided, fuck it; I’ll give it a try.

This time, I was not expecting my life to be altered; in fact, I expected it to be a load of bullshit. The sales guy was saying it was going to be led by a guy named Braddock, according to the sales guy, “Probably the best PUA out right now” which I also assumed to be a load of shit and was just trying to sell me.

I head to the conference room (a little bit early) where the class portion will be, yes, there are actually three full classes of teaching pick-up. This is what I was looking for a year ago. So I became a little excited, but then I walk into the room where 18 chairs are set up, I’m the first person in the room. Oh shit, one instructor for 18 people, this is going to be hell, well it ends up only 8 students, but 2 instructors and 2 assistants. I liked the break down quite a bit.

The first day, Braddock and Big Business break down opening and transitioning, and throw in a few extra pointers to help us. It was a 5 hour class, with loads of good information. It seemed a little overwhelming, but it was the same information I had actually wished for and was seeking in the RSD boot camp. Braddock gave us some openers and routines, but said not to rely on them (salt & pepper). Before we broke, we were given our mission for the night, focus on opening and transitioning, don’t worry about getting blown out, and hit a lot of sets: don’t get stuck. It was magic…an objective that didn’t rely on outcome and focused on process.

That night everyone of us blew it up. I got blown out of the first few sets, but the instructors pointed out what I did wrong (body language, tonality, smiling). The openers they gave me provided me with enough confidence to approach. If I ever felt like I wasn’t sure what to do next, Calabrese just pointed at a set and said go. By the end of the night, I wasn’t even using canned openers because it just turned into a night of having fun. I approached at least 25 sets that night and hooked quite a few.

The next day Braddock, Big Biz, Calabrese, and Feet Sauce broke down our success and areas of opportunity. The layer process of learning continued, next we focused on disqualification, attraction, and kino. And at the end of class, another mission: play specific games we were taught, get numbers and closes.

Another successful night in the record book for me on night 2. Day three, another evaluation of the previous night and onto qualification, comfort, and the “birds and the bees” (a little differently than my dad taught me, but I would have fucking loved this version from him.)

By the end of the class, my outlook on pick up has done another 180 degrees and I respect it now and actually am not afraid to open sets. Yes, I still have work to do, but I actually am able to begin that work after I moved off of my sticking point. And I know what to do if I hit another sticking point.

Break Down:

RSD was about half the price of Love Systems. It seemed like a great idea at the time, because it was cheaper, but I ended up losing a year’s worth of pussy by taking the cheap way.

RSD has an extreme approach to the “natural” which can be great, but if you struggle with finding what to say it is not the way to go.

Love Systems broke information down and explained why stuff worked, how it worked, demonstrated it to us, and gave us feedback on what we were doing. There is a real process of learning involved.

If you do not have the money for a Love Systems class, and struggle with Approach Anxiety, do not bother taking any other course. Just save money until you can afford it.

By having more than 1 instructor, Love Systems could keep the class on course and could follow multiple students so one did not end up getting lost.

The energy of the instructors will keep any student going, motivated, and confident.

The best investment in myself I have ever made.

AFC Adam Lyons Interview

Donovan — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 07:22:52 +0000

DONOVAN: What made you decide to become a dating coach?

AFC Adam: Honestly I didn’t plan it. I always just wanted to learn how to improve myself. I met a guy in the UK who was willing to teach me in return for me helping him drum up some PR for his business. Once the articles started coming in he wasn’t too keen on the publicity. So he asked me if I wouldn’t mind being the face of the company. I agreed and began doing demos for the papers and TV shows. Sure enough I ended up closing on camera time and time again. The more I did it the more people wanted to learn from me. I really didn’t want to be a teacher at the time so I tried to deter students from working with me. I added the AFC at the start of my name in the hope that they would all shy away from learning form me, hoping they would think I was a beginner. This worked for as time, perhaps 4- 6 months. But once I was on the Rules of Seduction in the UK Things really just went crazy.

DONOVAN: When did people first start to know you outside of the UK?

AFC Adam: It was the PUA Summit in 2007. I really wasn’t going to go, I was a last minute speaker and was convinced to go along by my friends Tung and Crazy Serb from Canada. Both of them are great guys who just kept pushing me to go, so in the end I went along. I wasn’t really expecting anything to come from it, but once I was there I realised that a lot of the people there weren’t actually getting as many results as the guys in the UK Lairs, so my talk went down really well. Then out of nowhere Thundercat put me on his top 10 list and things escalated from there.

DONOVAN: The next question, can you tell us your favorite success story from one of your clients?

AFC Adam: Actually it was only a few weeks ago. We were running a special 1 week long bootcamp. Called Project Spring break, yes original I know. hahah. Actually It’s something me and Amanda have wanted to do for a long time. To give people not only a chance to get good at game but to also experience spring break in all it’s craziness. So many people who join the community don’t get a decent spring break in their college years so this was a chance for them to re -experience it in a BIG WAY. This one student that come along was completely inexperienced, had never approached before in his life and had massive AA. He manged to pull off two lays during the course and on both occasions convinced the girl to let him back to her room to close. Even now thinking about it makes me smile. The guy just pulled out all the stops and smashed it from zero to hero in 1 week!

DONOVAN: That’s awesome. What do you think is the main reason people take so long to get good?

AFC Adam: Honestly I believe it’s because they spend too much time on forums, reading and downloading content. Whereas if they actually got out there in field and actually SPOKE to girls they would find their results sky rocket. I calculated the other day I must have done 3000 sets in my first 3 months of training at the game before I was getting consistent results. Most people do this many sets over 3 years which explains why it takes so long to improve.

DONOVAN: Yeah. I think a lot of guys do find many excuses to avoid going out there in person and actually approach, what do you think is the best advice to someone who suffers from the fear of the approach to actually get them out there doing sets?

AFC Adam: Honestly I could sit here and provide a list of hypnosis and confidence cd’s but in reality the only way you’re going to get over the fear of approaching is to get out there and do it. There is an old psychological technique to help get over fear known as systematic desensitization. In summary this works by slowly exposing yourself to the situation in question. With regards to seduction this is easily done by starting out talking to girls you aren’t attracted to and purposely only staying in set for 10 seconds or so. Once you can do this without any anxiety it’s time to push further, either in terms of quality or length of time. Slowly but surely if you keep pushing you will find yourself getting to the point where you can talk to any girls no matter how beautiful they are.

DONOVAN: That’s some solid advice. In your experience, what’s the best place and/or location to try and pick up a girl?

AFC Adam: Hmm Honestly one of my favourite places is outside a modelling office. Back when I was gaming 24/7 I would either find the location of a modelling agency or a model audition and then simply place myself in a nearby coffee shop waiting for the girls to arrive.

DONOVAN: One of the things you’re really well known for is your Entourage game and the ability to create and work your social circle to consist almost entirely of beautiful women. Could you tell us a bit about how this works?

AFC Adam: Man this is one of my favourite topics. I remember when I first got into the whole seduction scene and reading “the game” about how project hollywood got the whole deal wrong. The idea of living in a house full of guys just didn’t interest me. I was much more interested in the whole hugh hefner lifestyle. So I decided to plan out a way I could duplicate the same lifestyle. I began making friends with girls in the London Nightclub circuit and instead of trying to sleep with them I just befriended them. Instead of going out gaming with guys I would get these girls to help me out. The social proof and pre-selection they gave me was off the chart. I would actually get opened by girls. After a while I ended up living a lifestyle where everywhere I went girls would come with me, and they were even competing to sleep with me, it was crazy.

Most people in the community feel they should sleep with every girl that they meet. But by trying to sleep with them all each situation becomes either a lay or a fail. IF it’s a fail they lose the girl from their life, and if it’s a lay they don’t tend to merge social circles. None of this is particularly condusive to building a social life especially not one filled with girls. Without having girls in your social circle you’ll never truly realise how powerful social proof can be or how easy it truly can be. It just doesn’t get easier than having the girls do all the work for you.

DONOVAN: Ok. Then to sum up, You’re traveling the states at the moment doing bootcamps, how is the tour going?

Yeah we’re currently traveling the states and it’s hectic. We’ve been doing bootcamps almost every single weekend and the results are amazing. We’ve had the chance to see some amazing places as well as meeting a lot of great people along the way. We’ve been teaching a lot of the newer material from social circle building and entourage game right through to day game and of course it’s all without routines so the guys never get caught out as being clones from the Pick Up Artist TV show which is something we’ve heard a lot of people are struggling with at the moment. We’re currently running at an almost 100% success rate for students in terms of getting number closes at least for a full 10 month streak and we’re pushing to keep that going!

DONOVAN: Well thanks so much for coming in to chat with me

AFC Adam: No probs man thank you very much for having me!

DONOVAN: Check out Adam’s US Tour dates at the bootcamp page.

Life Is About Attitude

David Wygant — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:26:54 +0000

Think about football. Think about the quarterbacks who are successful. The ones that are successful have that attitude – “Fuck you. You picked my pass off? I don’t care. I’m coming back at you again in ten minutes anyway, and I’ll keep doing it.”

Brett Favre is notorious for that. Love him or hate him, he’ll throw so many games away that he plays. He’s 39, and look at his attitude. He’ll throw five interceptions in a game, and he’ll go fade back to pass and just do it again. He doesn’t care.

And all the fans are sitting there, saying, “Oh no! He’s doing it again…” but he just doesn’t care.

You are caring too much, so when you walk over you approach her with an expectation of rejection. You’re like that quarterback that’s fading back to pass and all you’re looking at are the defenders. You might as well just pick the one that you’re going to throw directly to right off the bat.

I don’t feel like I’m bothering anybody when I go over to someone to talk. And no one ever walks away from me.

But I used to feel that same way – that I was bothering someone when I approached them. You’re not bothering them at all.

But when you walk over to them with that concern, you’re bringing that energy with you. Women are feelers. Doesn’t that drive you crazy? They are always feeling and describing those feelings. “I feel this…”

You sit there and you just want to fix everything. “Okay, you’re feeling this way, and here’s the solution…”

So the fact is that women feel your energy. She feels every little bit of your energy as you walk over. She senses your fear.

Animals smell fear, and so do women! We’re basically all just animals, anyway. Think about the noises that people make when they fuck… we’re animals! Just because we’re standing upright doesn’t mean that we’re any better than Daphne. We may not smell each other’s asses, but we’re just like dogs.

So if you walk up to a woman with fear and the expectation of rejection, she’ll know it and you’re done. When you walk over like you don’t give a shit how she reacts, she’ll be responsive. She’ll wonder, who is this guy?

It’s a quantum switch inside your head. And once you make that switch, it’s like a paradigm shift. It’s an amazing shift in what you’ll begin to receive from other people. You’ll get what you want.

Outcome Dependence

David Wygant — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:55:26 +0000

Men tend to be very outcome dependent. Many men approach women with one goal in mind: to get their phone number. Such men think if they approach a woman, they must get her phone number in order for that approach to have been successful. These men, in fact, will base their entire assessment of an encounter on whether a woman gives them her phone number. This type of mindset is what I’m referring to when I talk about outcome dependence.

As a man, the problem with having outcome dependence is that women are not wired to be outcome dependent like men tend to be. Women are about being connected emotionally. Men need to understand this, and learn to start judging their encounters with women by how well they were able to connect with each woman (rather than by whether they walked away with a phone number).

It’s time to declare your outcome independence! Here are ways to lose your outcome dependence and attract more women by connecting with them:

1. Stop Being A Predator: You can’t possibly meet every woman you see. Virtually every guy I’ve ever coached have asked me how they can meet women who are walking toward them on the street. Think about this though. You’re walking down the street. You see a woman you find attractive who is also walking down the street. You’re both in a hurry. You all of a sudden become very outcome dependent – you want to meet her right now and get her phone number right now. Let me try to put it into perspective: When you’re in a rush walking down the street, do you like to be bothered? You can’t bother every single woman as she walks down the street by stopping her to ask her for her phone number. You need to realize that you can’t have every single woman you see simply because you find them attractive, because women will not be attracted to you unless you know how to also connect with them. So stop being a predator who chases women, and start attracting them by engaging them in conversations.

2. Good Mechanics Don’t Ensure Success: Just because you walked over to a woman and opened her with some amazing words of wisdom does not mean that she will want to go out with you. When you speak with a woman you need to listen very carefully to what she has to say, because it takes more than a clever opener to really get a woman to be interested in you. You need to pay really close attention to everything a woman says so you can initiate conversation topics about what’s already in her mind. You need to be able to not only engage her in conversation, but also to be able to take the conversation deeper. So just because you arrived on the scene and delivered a perfect opener does not mean that you’re going to get the phone number. It takes a lot more than just showing up in life to get that phone number from a woman.

3. Stay In The Moment: One of the most important things to do to stop being outcome dependent is to make a significant mindset shift. What this means is that when you are talking to a woman, you need to stop focusing on getting women’s phone numbers and start focusing more on staying present in the moment. A lot of men will ask a woman for her phone number and to go out on a date with him mere seconds after they approach and start talking to her. That is the very embodiment of being outcome dependent. Remember once again that in order to get a woman’s phone number you must first connect with her emotionally and in a way that will make her want to give you her phone number. One thing you’ll need to do to connect with women is to be willing to share something about yourself.

Think about this from a woman’s perspective. You’re a complete stranger who has approached her and asked her out … all in fifteen seconds or less. She will first wonder why you are asking her out, but since you know nothing else about her she will assume that you are only asking her out because you are physically attracted to her. Plus since she knows nothing about you, she is unlikely to agree to give you her phone number. So if you want to connect with women when you meet them, you are going to have to spend some time being in the moment with them. Putting in this time also allows both of you to see if you even like each other. Plus, if you’ve been in the moment and connected with a woman when you meet her, if she does give you her phone number she will be excited to get your call (instead of feeling about you like she does about most telemarketers).

4. There Is No Call Back Guarantee: Just because you were able to get a woman’s phone number does not mean that she will call you back after you’ve called her. It is a simple fact of life that there are some women who will give out their phone number just because a man asks for it and regardless of whether she actually is interested in having him call her. There are other women who may genuinely be interested in you when they give you their phone number, but may decide later (due to changing their mind or meeting someone else) that they are not so interested in talking to you, and thus may not return your call when you call them. So to increase your odds of getting a call back, make sure you connect with a woman emotionally before you ask for her phone number. That will greatly increase the chances she will call you back. If a woman for whatever reason does not call you back, don’t take it personally. That happens to everyone. Just move on to meeting someone else. There’s always another woman to meet.

So are you a guy who believes that if you get a woman’s phone number that she is going to be your next girlfriend (or might even be “the one”)? Are you also a guy who believes that if that same woman doesn’t call you back that you must not have said the right thing when you approached her? If so, then you like so many men are very outcome dependent.

So many men perceive approaching a woman like a rite of passage which entitles them to favorable responses from the women they’ve approached. This is the outcome dependent mentality. It’s time to declare your outcome independence!

Understand that you may have to approach a lot of women before you find one who really relates to you. Also, the next time you walk up to a woman, don’t think about how badly you want to go out with her. Instead, get to know her first to see if you really do want to go out with her.

The Truth About Wayne Elise & Charisma Arts: The Sequel

Donovan — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:58:06 +0000

(cue dramatic music)

First of all, to address some of the earlier comments made by other readers, please note that my actual first article begins after the heading and the introductory paragraph that were both written by Donovan, and the intended title of what I originally wrote is “Farewell to Juggler”. My motivation for writing that article was purely emotional: I wanted to examine the feelings I have toward my former co-worker, and express the one that truly matters: my respect to him. I wanted to do that because, having occupied most of my days for a long and transforming period of time, Charisma Arts played tremendously important role in my life. I needed a sort of sentimental purification ritual to be able to let Charisma Arts go, so that I can move on without carrying any unnecessary weight. Hence, “Farewell to Juggler”.

I agree with Jaht, who pointed out that I write mostly about myself. Unfortunately, we’re all human (well, most of us) and therefore our ability to be objective is limited by our individual perception. If I speak on any subject, including the subject so much larger-than-life as Wayne “Juggler” Elise (see the photograph illustrating my original post), I can only speak about it through the distorting lens of my subjective experience. That’s why, technically, what you are reading should be titled “Dimitri Vorontzov expressing his highly subjective opinion about Wayne Elise & Charisma Arts”. Read it at your own risk and filter it through your on experience.

I must say I’m amused that today, almost year into my solo instructorship, I still act as a Charisma Arts spokesman. Isn’t it astonishing how even now I can boost Charisma Arts’ sales with one accurately placed blog post? My very good friend (he is one of my best students, and a current Charisma Arts instructor) called me yesterday and made me notice the ingeniously funny step taken by Juggler’s company. Soon after my article appeared on Seduction Chronicles, some wise person from Charisma Arts management (I’m using “wise” in the sense of “silly”) dumped their shopping cart right on the home page of the company website! Hey, any publicity is good publicity! Then I guess someone even wiser (see above) realized it makes the company look a little desperate for making a buck, so the shopping cart on the front page was replaced with a blog article by one of the new instructors (funny though… I remember writing THAT VERY article well over two years ago. Just kidding. I wrote a different article entirely… but it had a lot of the same words).

Here, this will make it legit. Dear readers, if you’d like to visit Charisma Arts ultra-high-tech shopping cart and purchase Juggler’s best-selling ebook, please follow this link:

http://www.charismaarts.com/how-to-meet-and-connect/

Phew… Okay. I payed my dues to society.

Now, the promised Truth (= my subjective opinion, remember?)

You might find this boring. I wish I could electrify the readers by saying that Charisma Arts is just a cover-up for the extensive international drug trafficking operation run by Dominic “Wayne Elise” Pappalardo and his cynical henchmen, and that all the former “instructors” are currently sleeping with fishes after taking a cement bath – but that wouldn’t be accurate (they were shot in the head.)

Okay, jokes aside. The truth is (I think) that after Neil Strauss had published “The Game” in 2005, the book had generated sudden explosive increase of interest to the dating community. Juggler had contributed a short chapter to “The Game”, in which he poked friendly fun at Neil Strauss, kinda in the same way as I poke fun at Juggler now. With the book on the New York Times bestseller list, suddenly Juggler found himself attacked by more prospective students than he could possibly handle. There were people to teach, and not enough time to teach them. So Juggler raised the prices for his instruction, and hired a few guys to teach the bootcamps.

(What I’m saying is, the market grew very abruptly, and it sent Charisma Arts on the extensive path of business development, meaning that the company almost instantly expanded its sphere of influence and the number of employees, before the owner could actually determine the unique principles for operating his business. You can’t blame Juggler for allowing to let his business get out of hands for a while. When success hit him, the man was a street comedian, not a career banker, for goodness sake. No wonder that in the beginning of is business career Juggler had to grope his way in the fog (insert your on groping-related pun here).

I think Juggler is the kind of guy who easily becomes drawn to people and who is fast to form friendships. So quite naturally when he had working positions to fill, he offered to some of his friends the opportunity to have a cool, fun and unusual job that involves travel, partying and helping other guys. It makes sense, doesn’t it?

The problem is, a good dating instructor is not easy to come by. There are some exceptions, but normally it takes months to train a beginner to get good at dating, and it takes much longer to train a guy how to teach that stuff. Some of the members of the first generation of Charisma Arts crew were great instructors. Others were just random guys who started working for Juggler simply because he liked them. This lead to the generally uneven quality of the overall curriculum. Speaking as one of Charisma Arts former clients: a Charisma Arts weekend bootcamp I took a few years ago SUCKED, big time. I’d like to emphasize that it was NOT taught by Juggler, and that later most of the bootcamps I had the chance to witness were high-class. I certainly hope that the situation has further improved these days.

Another problem is, this is a tough job. Even very talented guys, if they are mainly attracted to the exciting sides of the dating instructor profession, such as travel, partying, meeting interesting people and (let’s face it) getting plenty of action, to say nothing of (let’s face it some more) getting paid big bucks – such instructors are bound to burn out very quickly. So they quit.

Some people don’t burn out, though. Who? Just those guys who develop actual keen concern about their students’ happiness. I don’t want to make it sound pompous (there are too many guys in the community already whose writing sounds like they’re curing cancer or ending the world hunger, or at least running for President, whereas, to boil it down to the basics, what we all actually do is teach horny guys how to get laid) – but frankly, it does take a certain serious degree of genuine care for others to be a dating instructor. The instructors who have that quality, have staying power. Others don’t.

Third problem: I already said that I think Juggler is a man who forms strong friendships quickly. I also think he might be quick to cut off a friend when he suspects disloyalty. Perhaps too quick, but that’s just my opinion. I think Juggler’s personal code of ethics is so extremely high that he expects a lot from other people, so naturally most humans end up disappointing him… and you know how it is among us, professional alpha males: “I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever”, and so on (that was a quote from Mr. Darcy, the hero of “Pride and Prejudice”… highly recommended!) I suppose this should explain why, to the best of my knowledge, most of the sacked former Charisma Arts instructors only found out about their expulsion when they arrived to teach a scheduled bootcamp and met a replacement instructor who would refuse to speak to them (I’m almost not exaggerating). I think the “Now Firing!” business policy and the boycott of all the formerly praised instructors were the only two things in my experience of Charisma Arts that hinted on the unusual (possibly alien) form of intelligence behind its facade.

We shouldn’t forget that any moderately developed dating instruction service has two major aspects: teaching methodology and business. The two are interconnected, and they tend to transform overtime. I believe that the last phase of Charisma Arts development required Wayne Elise to intensify his business. This meant to make the “Juggler Method” brand easier to recognize. That’s why from the certain moment the company needed only people who would teach dating exactly the way Juggler wanted them to teach, without any deviation from the “general line”. So all the Trotskyists were purged and all heretics burned, and that’s why these days anyone can see that Charisma Arts staff enjoys the unity of opinion that is quite rare in modern society outside of North Korea.

I think the current (I think I shouldn’t use the word “totalitarian” here) state of Juggler’s company is the typical “opposite extreme”, a recoil from a formerly way-too-liberal business model. I believe it must be a passing stage, and when Charisma Arts finds its center it has a chance to finally become a truly successful enterprise it deserves to be (provided they fire a few more people. Only joking.)

I can relate to Juggler’s titanic (no kidding!) efforts to make his company work, and I understand that trial and error is often the only way to learn the ropes. I am certain that Juggler means well. I think he is motivated by the genuine desire to serve his students to the best of his ability, and that’s what counts. Wisdom comes when we learn to judge people by their intentions, and not by the outcome of their actions. I find Wayne Elise extremely likable. He might not be perfect, but no one ever is (the only known exception: Neil Strauss). Again and again: I feel a lot of respect and gratitude to Wayne Elise for who he is.

Summary: Wayne Elise is a good guy and Charisma Arts is a good company.

Such is my subjective opinion on this matter. I did my best to express it truthfully.

Best,

Dimitri Vorontzov

P.S. I am a bit ashamed of my quip about how the letters in “Wayne Elise” may be rearranged to spell “a senile yew”. I take it back. In fact, these letters can only be rearranged to spell “Alien? We? Yes!”

Sean Stephenson Interview

Donovan — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:53:57 +0000

Tell me about where you’re from and how you got to be where you are now with “inner game.”

Where I’m from? Well physically speaking, Planet Earth; more specifically, Chicago, IL. Intellectually and emotionally, however, I’ve come from a kid born with a rare bone disorder that has confined my mobility to a wheelchair, stunted my growth to only three feet, and made my bones extremely brittle, fracturing over 200 times by age 18. I grew up often frustrated that people would stare at me, kids would point and laugh at my appearance, and I could NEVER blend in and be normal. As an adult though, my condition is seen as a blessing. “Peacocking” is not necessary because I am the freaking peacock. One look at me and I’m in your brain FOREVER; that comes in quite handy with women. I never have to do crazy things, die my hair, ink my body up, or trip and fall into a tackle box (get lots of piercings) to get attention. I just have to show up.

As far as my ‘Love Evolution,’ I was quite the late bloomer. I didn’t get my first kiss until I was 19. I didn’t have my first sexual experience until age 24 and my first REAL girlfriend until age 26. Women loved being my ‘friend’ and hanging out with me, but I never converted them into lovers and girlfriends until I got my inner game together. I used to blame my lack of success on my physical condition, “Women can’t be attracted to a little man in a wheelchair.”

That was my pathetic mantra from age 12 until age 24. I broke the cycle when I started studying what women really want in a man. When I discovered that my inner game (confidence and self-worth) is the ultimate determining factor in creating attraction, I took off. Within one year I acquired more intimacy than in my entire previous dating history. Now I’m dating some of the most attractive, talented, and loving women around. My transformation was so radical that I couldn’t keep it to myself; I had to share my insights and explorations with the world in my online Magazine: www.InnerGameMagazine.com. Guys struggling in their dating life often don’t realize that they need to get their mind/life together to create solid attraction.

Have you had any huge realizations about inner game that you’ve only had in the last year?

More than I can count. Every time I sit down with an IGM cover story guest, my mind is blown away with insights about the male and female mind. Here’s a few for you:

If you don’t find yourself attractive, you’ll give off the vibe that neither should the women you want. Spend a few minutes a day looking in the mirror looking for your attractive qualities: hair, eyes, smile, whatever! This isn’t some new age crap; I’m serious. Find yourself attractive and radiate that energy.

If you get involved in philanthropy and give back to the planet and humanity you accomplish three powerful things…
1. You meet hot women who are into more than themselves.

2. You develop your life into a more interesting experience, which is more attractive.

3. You feel better about yourself and life, which is more fulfilling than anything you could do or buy.

If you get into badass shape physically something magical takes place in your inner game: you develop discipline, you feel better emotionally (less foggy), you feel more powerful, and you look healthier (which is more attractive).

Is there one big key to focus on for self esteem and confidence that can help guys who are just starting out?

Read the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.

I didn’t write it, nor do I even know the author. It’s a book that I recommend to all my clients before they come and see me. I find when you want to develop your confidence and self-esteem, you have to be reminded that Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes some time for a new identity to take root in a man’s mind. Stay positive through the process, even if you fall on your face 100 times while getting your inner game together.

I still have days where fear and insecurity nibble on my mind; that’s no cause to resort to quitting or sulking that I’m not perfect. I would also tell you to surround yourself with resources and people that believe in you more than you believe in yourself. On those dark days when you trip and fall, they’ll be right there cheering you on to get back up, not kicking you for being the idiot that fell. You can’t grow a strong plant in compromised/toxic soil, and you can’t grow a healthy self-esteem and confidence in a place of negativity, cynicism, and doubt.

Flush away negative influences. It’s tough to do so; however, it’s imperative. Anything else I could teach you is pointless if your living, working, and socializing environments are not supportive.

Where do you meet most of the women you date?

Charity events, bookstores, coffee houses, personal growth seminars, and the gym. I use to meet women in clubs, bars, and restaurants;however, that often left me with disappointment. Reason being is those girls were either flakes, train wrecks, or had low expectations in life. I personally want a gal who has her life together and is capable of being self-sufficient and open to giving and receiving love fully. Don’t go after a girl at a club at 3:00am who is bombed out of her mind and then think she’s going to be extremely responsible and mature the next day. Where you meet someone is more telling than just the place you reference in a story of how you met.

Which people have you had personal dealings with that have helped your inner game? What did they teach you?

I have been mentored by dozens of the most amazing individuals; here are a few…

Byron Katie: An unquestioned mind is a mind in chaos. You can’t change people; you can only live your life as an example around them. You have to love ‘what is’ rather than mope about ‘what should be.’ If you fight with ‘what is’ you lose, but only 100% of the time.

Ask yourself on a regular basis when you have chaotic thoughts:

1. Is that true?

2. Can you absolutely know that’s true?

3. How does that thought make you feel?

4. Who would you be without that thought?

5. What is the opposite of that thought?

Tony Robbins: You have to live life with passion. You can’t play the game of life half-assed; if you do, you’ll get half-assed results. There are six human needs we all have to have met on some level:

1. You need Certainty: predictability of what will happen next.

2. You need Uncertainty: variety of new experiences.

3. You need Significance: attention from those around you.

4. You need Love/Connection: bonding with those you care about.

You can’t feel fulfilled without the last two:

5. You need Growth: expansion of your life.

6. You need Contribution: giving back to humanity/the planet.

Gary Chapman: Love is expressed like a language; if you don’t speak to someone in their language, it’s like you never spoke to them at all.

1. Some of us need words of affirmation, i.e. compliments and words of encouragement.

2. Some of us need physical touch, i.e. hug, pat on the back, or sessions of being held close.

3. Some of us need gifts, i.e. some physical/tangible item to show someone that we thought of them.

4. Some of us need quality time, i.e. sitting in the park just being together saying nothing.

5. Some of us need acts of service, i.e. cooking a meal, mowing their lawn, or fixing their car.

David DeAngelo: Attraction isn’t a choice. Once you spark attraction in a woman she will feel it on some level for you forever. The way you spark it best is by having an exciting life, being playful, and standing your ground when she starts testing you.

Deepak Chopra: We are all energy. If you are not attracting what you want into your life it is because you are not at the highest mental awareness (vibration). You must align your mind, body, and spirit if you want to start creating the life of your dreams.

No element of your life can be disconnected from your life. If you are sick, tired, broke, or hurting in any way, it will eventually surface in every area of your life.

Larry Winget: If your life sucks, it’s cause you suck. You are afraid to work hard and get bruised. The people who accomplish the most and get the most juice out of their life are the ones that take the most responsibility for their life and NEVER blame anyone or anything. PERIOD!

Don Miguel Ruiz: You must master the four most powerful agreements:

Agreement 1: Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Agreement 2: Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Agreement 3: Don’t make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Agreement 4: Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Even with your confidence now, what happens when self-doubt creeps in at a later time? How do you deal with that?

I zoom out and ask the questions:

“Is this life or death?”

“Will this even be important twenty years from now?”

“What good am I accomplishing by coming from fear?”

Then, if the fear/doubt is really strong, I employ the Cartesian logic:

1. What would happen if this did happen?

2. What would happen if this didn’t happen?

3. What wouldn’t happen if this did happen?

4. What wouldn’t happen if this didn’t happen?

Run that on your brain and you’ll come out the other end a pile of mush; Issue neutralized.

I also will go out and read from empowering books, review empowering journal entries of mine, or go a few minutes on my punching bag.

Doubt is a virus and it has no place in your mind; that’s why it hosts on you. You need to find it and get it out of there IMMEDIATELY.

You studied under Tony Robbins. What did you learn from him?
That I was capable of FAR more than I realized. He taught me if you make something “a MUST” you will pool every resource possible to make it happen… versus “a should,” which most people NEVER get around to doing.

I learned that the body and mind work together in every second to create our experience of reality, and we must listen closely to both.

I learned that people will judge you no matter what you do so you might as well be living life on your terms and be having a blast.

Has anything you learned from Tony Robbins proven incorrect or inapplicable as you’ve gone through life?

While I know he’s not perfect, his material has always checked out and worked for me and my clients. Tony has been nothing but a powerful resource in my life. Sure, I was sad the day I realized he wasn’t flawless. I was shocked that even the KING of personal growth had a temper, made bad decisions, and did things differently than I might have, but that’s all a part of being human. His human side doesn’t discredit his material.

What is the biggest inner game problem guys have within the community? What can they do to remedy it?

Thinking that their problem is external, i.e. that women are messed up, that they just don’t have the ‘right line,’ and that they aren’t good looking enough. It’s ALL BS!!!

The problem lies internally. They don’t feel like they have what it takes; they feel flawed and incapable of being lovable.

Everyone has a different remedy that is customized to where they are. Everyone in the community wants a blanket answer. Give me the five steps to getting laid – that’s a bunch of crap. If you get laid, sure you’ll feel good, for awhile…but then the “I’m not enough” dragon will surface again in a few hours, days, or weeks.

No amount of “closes” will make you feel complete and truly happy.

The guys in the community must realize that they must face their fears and do so in a healthy, safe, and professional manner. For some, that might mean hiring a skilled coach; for others it might mean reading 100 books; for some it might mean getting their finances in order, and for others it could mean getting in shape. Without a stable life, you are building a gaming toolbox that will eventually leave you skilled at seduction and empty in fulfillment….not to mention that you won’t land a loving woman who will be willing to face the good times and bad with you.

Do you have any field reports of you personally that you can relate to help the readers?

The term ‘field reports’ creeps the hell out of me. I think you mean, “do I have any successful events that might help a guy out.” Yes. I detail many of them in my free eBook Top 10 Inner Game Killers, which you can get by going to www.InnerGameMagazine.com

To give you one right now, I’d share this…

I’d been friends with this gorgeous girl for years. I thought I was stuck in the friend zone for years. Slowly but surely she saw my life transform as I got my inner game together. She saw my life become more and more exciting. She saw me get super busy and extremely mature and responsible.

Then one night we sat on a coach together watching a football game. We started holding hands, cuddling, and sending very warm energy to each other.

Something magically shifted; she was starting to fall for me. That sparked a several month relationship that was filled with sex, love, fun, caring, and lots of connection. While the relationship didn’t last forever, it taught me that when a man gets his life together, women take notice. There is no such thing as the friend zone if you create an attractive life and you are giving a woman unconditional love.

What is inner game magazine, what can guys expect?

There are two ways to subscribe to Inner Game Magazine. The Basic subscription is FREE and will give you a weekly article written by me or my editor and inside woman, Liz.

The Premium subscription will give you all of the benefits of the Basic, plus a monthly high quality audio interview where I sit down with some of the best experts in the field of inner game. Along with the interview you will get the Premium Pages, which are like Cliff Notes for each interview. All of this is only $15 a month and $1 for the first issue.

Why should guys be subscribed to it?

While you will no doubt get great information from reading the articles available in the Basic subscription, they won’t help you truly develop your inner game.

For that, you need a Premium subscription. Each month, I sit down with a male dating expert and find out the inner workings of his mind and his life. I don’t just shoot the breeze with him; my interviews all follow a system that allows you to model these men so that eventually your life will be as exciting and fulfilling as theirs are.

Women will not find a man attractive if she senses that he is flaky or does things halfway. A Premium subscription is the only way to truly commit to becoming the man who women want.

Thundercat Interview About “Looks Don’t Matter” (yeah right!)

Donovan — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:08:31 +0000

Donovan: G’day Thundercat, how are you?

Thundercat: Good, good – busy. Not only is my new course coming out this week, things are exploding on the blog. Between Tyler stepping down from Real Social Dynamics and Ross Jeffries being a devil worshiper, I don’t know what to focus on!

Donovan: Ha ha… sounds like Christmas came early for TC.

Thundercat: Nah. These guys aren’t going anywhere, they’ll be around forever. I just want to focus on more positive things.

Donovan: Like your upcoming course?

Thundercat: Helping guys out, yeah. That’s fun for me.

Donovan: So let me ask you this – over the pat few months, you’ve been releasing these videos showing you in potentially embarrassing situations. What’s the point of them?

Thundercat: Well, all my life, I’ve always been really insecure about my looks. Being overweight, bald, etc. doesn’t really help your self esteem. But I found a way to overcome that and get the type of success I always wanted.

So even though I now know that looks aren’t as important as I once believed them to be, there are still a LOT of guys out there who think because they don’t look like a male model, they can’t get the type of women they want.

The videos were all meant to show guys that if a fat, bald, ugly shlub like me can get hot chicks, then anyone can.

Donovan: But do you really believe looks don’t matter?

Thundercat: I believe appearance matters. The better you can make yourself look, the better off you are. But if you’re not tall, not skinny, not muscular, with a big nose or big ears and no hair on your head – what can you do about that?

Nothing. You’re stuck with the way you look.

So you have two options – either play the victim and dispair over the fact that you’re not genetically what you want to be, or work with what you got and get what you want anyway.

I used to play the victim. Even when I was going out 5 nights a week to the clubs, in the back of my mind, I didn’t believe I could succeed because I didn’t think I had the looks.

It wasn’t until I was able to overcome that limiting belief that I was able to have the kind of success I really wanted with women.

So yeah, I’ve come to believe physical looks don’t matter. But you still have to look as good as you can. Shower, groom, smell nice, dress nice, etc.

Donovan: I know what you mean. It seems like its easy to resent good looking guys, when in reality, they don’t have that many advantages over other guys.

Thundercat: To be honest with you, I used to really resent good looking guys. They never realize how their looks help them with women, and I resented the fact that it came easy for them.

But the fact is, good looking guys have just as much trouble with women as average guys do, because lots of them never bother to develop an interesting personality or sense of humor. And once a girl gets past your looks, what then? She’ll get bored and move on if there’s not more to you.

We’ve all been in situations where we’ve grown attracted to someone we weren’t attracted to at first. That’s the advantage of having a great personality – it gives us a chance to win the girl over to us!

Sure, if we’re not the girl’s physical type, we can’t just go up and get a 10 minute lay. But luckily, girls are wired a little different from guys, and how you can make a girl feel emotionally will usually outweigh her initial physical attraction.

Take me for instance… I have a LOT of women tell me I’m attractive. Just to give you an idea, I’m close to 300 pounds. I shave my head. I think I’m hideous. But these girls think I’m attractive! Why is that?

Its because when they’re around me, I make them feel good! They get turned on because I know what buttons to hit and how to hit them.

I use my personality to subtly create intense feelings of connection, fun, and intrigue.

Its counter-intuitive, I know. But it works (and thank god it does!).

Donovan: So what inspired you to make this Pure Personality course?

Thundercat: Well, it really came down to my friends. All my friends are better looking guys than me. Some are taller, all are thinner, and most have been blessed with a wonderful head of hair, lol.

So when we’d go out to the clubs together, they of course would get all the female attention, and I’d have to really fight and claw to get anywhere with a girl when they were around.

Tather than try to compete with my friends, I had to find a different tactic. One where I wasn’t trying to “out game” them or be at the mercy of their physical attractiveness.

So I came up with the Personality stuff.

By using my Personality, I was able to sit back, have a good time, help my friends meet girls, and relax. And when I did that, I started to get more attention than my better looking friends!

Focusing on personality really helped me level the playing field, because even though my friends were better looking, I was where the party was at, so the girls came to me.

That’s where the genisis of the course came from. I thought “Hey, if it can work for a shlub like me, it can work for others too!”

Looks, age, weight, skin color – whatever you think holds you back with women, if you go the right personality, you can overcome it.

Donovan: But everyone has a personality. How does Pure Personality help guys bring out their personality instead of just cloning yours?

Thundercat: Because I go into the process of getting people addicted to who YOU ARE. Not who I am. I don’t share any pre-canned routines in the course, rather, I give step by step instructions on how to tailor the techniques to your situation.

I give you the tools for how to be more funny, how to be more engaging, how to work a room, how to tell a good story, how to keep a conversation going, and many other things.

And then, I show you how to use elements of your personality and your beliefs, interests, and experiences, and apply them to those tools.

So what you get is a good approximation of “natural” game, witht he structure routines give you.

The best example of this is my Conversational Ninjitsu tactic.

This is a tactic you can use to keep any conversation going strong for as long as you want it. It is a 6 step system, but the outcome mimics a real conversation because you actually have to pay attention to what’s being said by the girl.

Everyone I share it with is really amazed.

So you won’t see a bunch of “Thundercat” clones running around out there with this course (heaven forbid). You’ll see guys being able to tailor it to suit their own needs, so no one is “fronting.”

And it works great with every other school of seduction out there, because its all based on what you project to the world about who you already are, rather than what you say or do.

Donovan: You mentioned that conversation skills are a big part of your course. What makes Pure Personality different than say, other “conversation” products out there?

Thundercat: Well, the first is that its not all about conversation. It’s about how to be funny, how to properly tease a girl (so many guys do that wrong!), how to build your reputation and meet lots of people quickly and easily.

Conversation is a part of it, but it isn’t the whole thing. Conversation is a tool you use to show people your personality and get them addicted to it.

It’s also much more naturalistic than other conversation methods out there. It’s not robotic, its fluid. Its like “Jeet Kun Do” for talking. You change and adapt based on what you say and what they other person says, just like a real conversation, but you have guideposts to help you out.

You know when to toss in a joke, how to make it funny, when to tell a story, when to listen, when to excuse yourself, etc.

The product is more about how to be social than anything else. Its great for guys who are shy or introverted.

Donovan: So you’re saying it goes deeper than just conversation skills?

Thundercat: Oh yeah. it goes to the core of who you are. It’s about being an attractive guy, and seeing who picks up on that.

Think of the word “attractive” for a minute. To “attract” something is to pull something towards you based on qualities that thing seeks out.

When you’re attracting women, women need to come to YOU, and the only way that will happen is if they see something they like and desire.

They might not desire a 300 lbs. bald guy, but they sure desire the feeling they get when they laugh, and have a good time, and feel protected and safe and happy. That’s what this course is all about.

Donovan: Okay, I like what I hear. So how much is the package, and if I ordered it, what do I get?

Thundercat: Well, the course is BIG, so its going to cost a little money, but its nowhere near as expensive as some of the other courses people have been putting out.

Basically, you get a series of video tutorials, audio interviews, training assignments, and manuals – all covering specific aspects of the system.

And keep in mind, this IS a system. Its not just a bunch of attributes you learn willie-nilly. Its a process you go through, so its very structured.

I’ll also be giving away a lot of bonsues. So people get access to the course as soon as they pay, but after three months, I’ll also ship them a pysical version of the course so they can watch it at their leisure away from the computer.

Not only that, I’ll also have a special coaching club available to the first 50 people who sign up, and special “practice” sessions for the first 100 people to get the course.

Basically, I’ll get one of the super-hot girls I know to get on the phone with me and the students, and have the students practice on them during the call, then the girl and I will critique how the student did and give them feedback on how to improve.

I’m excited about that because its something new and different, and its a great way for guys to practice in a safe environment.

So for all that, I’m charging three payments of $197. You can also pay one payment of $497 and get a discount for paying all at once.

Donovan: How does pure personality differ from Renegade Rapport? They seem to overlap on many topics, or have I got that wrong?

Thundercat: They don’t so much overlap as they compliment each other.

See – a lot of my game is based on internal state, beliefs, confidence, and interpersonal interaction. Renegade Rapport is about how to build deep connections rapidly – sometimes before even talking to a girl.

Pure Personality is about getting as many girls as you can to pay interest to you so you can gain those connections.

So if Renegade Rapport is about how to get a girl to fall in love with you, then Pure Personality is about how to get a girl interested in you – so the “falling in love” part becomes easier.

But more than that, Pure Personality is about teaching guys to have fun! Its about showing them how to get out of their head, how to stop being nervous, how to stop being introverted, and have fun around really attractive girls – something so many guys have trouble with.

Pure Personality is also about helping guys get away from the bad beliefs they have about themselves. Its about giving them the tools they need to feel attractive, instead of trying to “fake” it.

Donovan: So if I got access to Pure Personality tomorrow, how would I put it into practice?

Thundercat: Well, basically you’d go through the videos, then the audios, then text, and finally the assignments. The assignments are where I outline the best way to acclimate yourself to the techniques.

The course is very streamlined. You’re not going to find a lot of fluff in there.

I also have some input from some very incredible guys in the community. Barry Kirkey is in the course, as is Adam Lyons and Brad P. All are amazing guys and they share some incredible stuff.

Donovan: So when is the course coming out and how can people get it?

Thundercat: Well, I know a lot of people out there are tired of “marketing” stuff, but I really think this type of thing can really help guys out.

You don’t have to buy anything to see what the course is about. Just go to:
http://www.looks-dont-matter.com
I have 8 free videos up there you can go through and see how this course will work.

The course is being released on August 30th, which is labor day weekend. The order page will go live at 9:00 am Pacific, 12:00 pm Eastern time at the link above.

(So watch those videos while you have a chance! They won’t be up past Friday!)

So if there are guys out there who think they might like to feel better about themselves, feel more attractive, and get more women, they’ll definitely want to give it a shot.

And if not, hey, no worries. I’m having fun just making the videos and doing the interviews like this one! lol.

Donovan: Cool man. Well, thanks for taking the time to talk with me about it.

Thundercat: No problem bro. Keep up the great work on your blog!

Interview With Savoy About Settlement With Mystery

Donovan — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 18:20:04 +0000

For those following community politics, we have the big news that the year-and-a-half lawsuit between 1) Mystery Method Corporation, Savoy, Love Systems, and Love Systems’ Instructors and 2) Mystery, Lovedrop, and Matador has settled.

This was recently announced on both the Venusian Arts website and on Savoy’s blog. Despite Savoy’s statement that he wasn’t going to talk about it, I have his cell phone number and am persistent. Eventually he gave in.

SC: Congratulations on settling this case. It must be a relief. Do you feel that you won?

SAVOY: No, there’s no winner. The point of a settlement is that there aren’t winners and losers. Both sides have said that they are happy with the settlement, and we’re moving on.

SC: What can you tell me about the settlement?

SAVOY: Not much. We’ve agreed to keep the terms confidential. What I can say is that monetary damages are being paid to me in return for dismissing my claims for defamation.

SC: Does that make you feel vindicated in a way, after all of the negative publicity you suffered during this?

SAVOY: Yes and no. Obviously, it’s nice, but I decided early on that I wasn’t going to worry about what random people who didn’t know the situation had to say. This isn’t an industry you should be in if you can’t handle criticism. Guys read The Game, which of course is written by Mystery’s best friend, and they feel attached to that character without really thinking about whether there might be some bias going on or that a book written by one guy’s best friend isn’t necessarily a good guide to a complex dispute that began two years later and involved several other people. It’s natural.

The part that does make me happy is being able to clear my name. I had a business career before Love Systems, and I will have a business career after it. It will be nice for people to be able to google my name without this crap.

SC: So how do you feel about Mystery now?

S: We settled, we shook hands, and it’s in the past now. I mean, we’re not rushing off to plan a vacation together, but if I run into any of those guys, I’ll gladly have a beer with them. The more I dug into this, the harder it was to figure what exactly Mystery was doing versus what various people around him were doing and who knew what and who was driving the bus, and now that it’s all settled, I really don’t care anymore. I genuinely wish them all the best. I really do.

SC:Looking back, what would you have done differently?

SAVOY: I’ve been thinking a lot about this, but it’s tough to give a really insightful answer. The “key lessons” from this are things I knew anyway – common sense things that most people would know anyway – but ignored.

SC: Such as..?

SAVOY: OK, fine. Like, first of all, always get any deal written down and signed. No shit, right? Well, but when you’re making plans with friends, your first thought isn’t always “let’s call a lawyer and get this documented”. But it should be. As one of my mentors told me, “a deal that starts with a handshake ends with a gun”. These days, even when I’m making agreements with guys I’ve been working with and friends with for years and trust implicitly, everything still gets written down and signed off on. Even with the best will in the world, sometimes people understand things differently or remember them differently. Writing it all down also forces you into being precise about exactly what you’ve agreed to. I’m the first to admit that I should have insisted on this and that I should have known better.

Another lesson is one that I need to remind myself of every day. The more difficult or sensitive the issue, the closer you want you form of communication to be. In person is better than video chat, video chat is better than the phone, and anything, even a geriatric one-winged carrier pigeon suffering from tuberculosis, is better than email. Never, ever, ever transmit a negative message or discuss a sensitive issue via email. It’s a rule I break all the time, because email is just so convenient and is great for breaking down complex issues, but I really try to discipline myself not to.

And, oh yeah, legal insurance.

SC: Mike Long used to work with Mystery and now he’s been talking you up in his newsletters. Is a Mike Long – Love Systems alliance in the works?

SAVOY: This isn’t a board game, with alliances and enemies. If Mike Long finds value in what I or other Love Systems instructors have to offer, I’m pleased to make it available to him and his community. But it doesn’t change what we’re doing, and I don’t think it changes what he’s doing.

He’s an interesting and very successful guy, and what a lot of people don’t know about him is he has pretty good game himself.

SC: Will you still be publishing Game Over: The Rise and Fall of the Mystery Method?

SAVOY: No. That project is no longer relevant. In a way, it sucks because I put a lot of work into it and had three of the seven beats already written, and parts of it were really funny in a kind of dark and sarcastic sort of way. But it still comes from a place of negativity and I’m glad to be moving on from that. There’s a small amount of stuff in there I can save and use for a different book. I’m not sure exactly what that different book will be – the publisher I was working with is understandably a bit irritated with me at the moment.

SC: So now that the lawsuit is over and the book isn’t going to happen, what do you see as the future direction of Love Systems?

SAVOY: Love Systems is unique for a lot of reasons, most obviously how we’re structured. We don’t follow the guru system, which I think is usually (not always) counter-productive and dangerous. And this by the way has nothing to do with Mystery or the lawsuit; its one of the basic principles of Love Systems. Just because Guru X is good with women does not make him someone you should learn from. I can go to any bar in Hollywood and find guys who are good with women. But can they teach it to others? And will it work for different men, or just for guys who are kind of like the guru?

I’ll give you a couple of examples. I’m pretty big and tall, I naturally have a pretty dominant energy with women, and I have an intuitive feel for female sexuality and sexual triggers. When I’m out meeting women for myself, I use and leverage the hell out of these techniques. But none of this is in Magic Bullets and I don’t teach this stuff at bootcamps – unless I’m working with a guy who has similar attributes to me. The cool thing about Love Systems is that because of our diversity, stuff that works for all of us is virtually guaranteed to work for our students.

SC: [interrupting] What do you mean by diversity?

We have instructors from Sweden to Thailand. We have white instructors, Hispanic instructors, South Asian (Indian subcontinent) instructors, East Asian instructors, and black instructors. We have 5’3 guys and 6’3 guys. We have guys in their early 20s and guys who are almost 40. At least five instructors don’t even have English as a first language. And we’re all into different types of women. But we’re all successful with women, and we all use systems that are based off of Magic Bullets. So when one of us comes up with something and the rest of us try it out and it works, we know we’re onto something that probably relates to universal female psychology or social dynamics and we’re comfortable rolling it out. Of course, at our bootcamps, we take advantage of the opportunity of customizing our methodology for each student’s unique identity. That’s why we bring so many instructors to every bootcamp, and one of the reasons why live training is so important and valuable. But I don’t know whether the guy buying Magic Bullets is an 18-year old high school student or a divorced 55-year old investment banker, so I need to keep it pretty universal. I can’t assume that everyone is just like me. No one cares how Savoy picks up women. People want to pick up women themselves.

But, look, diversity is just one component. We don’t lower our standards one inch to get diversity – it’s just happened that way. We also have an intense focus on teaching. Having great game doesn’t get you in the door as a potential instructor. Having great game and a passion and a knack for teaching does. And then we train the hell out of you so you become an awesome instructor as well as pickup artist.

It’s kind of funny to see guys’ faces when a bootcamp starts, and someone like Mr. M or Cajun or Fader or LBD walks in. It’s like – they’ve heard all about these guys and expect them to godlike chick magnets. But they’re all short and none of them look like a pickup artist. You read about Mr. M picking up a playmate in just a few minutes in the hallway outside a bootcamp, and then this short little Asian dude walks into the room and people go WTF. But it’s also awesome because it helps students realize that there is nothing separating them from being as successful with women as an elite Love Systems lead instructor other than time, practice, and access to training.

Before, I was also going to give the example of Derek Cajun on Keys to the VIP, which I think you’ve written about on your blog. What I thought was awesome about that was that he decided to go on national TV and use the exact same system he teaches students – which is based on Magic Bullets. He didn’t use any of his personal techniques or stuff that is specifically calibrated to him – he just used the generic stuff you can get straight off the Love Systems website. He even used routines straight from the Love Systems Routines Manual. He did this to prove a point – what we teach works, and you don’t need years of study. Cajun was a student at one of our bootcamp’s just a year or so before he went on the show.

SC: Right, so…back to the question about the future direction of Love Systems?

Sorry I’m rambling, I just get so passionate this stuff. Well, something you’re going to see a lot more of in the future is our Game 2.0 initiative. We’ve pretty much mastered “cold approach” – both as practitioners and teachers. Yes, there’s always more to learn, and yes, we’re only really scratching the surface in terms of female psychology, but when you’re consistently going out and bringing home or dating the women you want, how much further do you really need to go? At our last Super Conference, the different instructor teams competed to see how many of their students took hot women home. Fader’s team was over 50%. The last LA bootcamp that I went to, 6 of the 8 students got laid – with hot women. This isn’t hype – this is verifiable information. Our training has gotten that good. Our instructors really are that good and that dedicated.

Game 2.0 is all about how can we leverage our cold approach skillsets. And that’s where you’re seeing all this exciting stuff like Braddock (Donovan: who I’m interviewing within the next two weeks) and Mr. M’s social circle mastery program. Now instead of trying to steal the hot girl off of the guy who come to the club with 6 beautiful women, we teach our students how to BE the guy who has the hot women in his social circle in the first place. You got Soul’s Day Game program, which fuses direct game, day game, and the Magic Bullets approach. You’ve got my relationship management stuff – the DVDs will be out in a couple months – that makes anything from traditional relationships, to multiple relationships, to friends with benefits into a breeze. And there’s lots more to come – some of this stuff isn’t ready to be announced but we can talk about it off the record.

SC: And that’s where we’ll keep it…unless I need to extort cash from you one day!

It’s Time For Your Wake-Up Call! By David Wygant

Donovan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:38:26 +0000

So, last night I was able to go to the Coldplay concert, which was just phenomenal. Yeah, yeah, I know what they said about Coldplay in “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” but I like Coldplay for a few different reasons.

I like Coldplay because they play with such passion, which made their concert last night a really great experience. You know, right in the middle of the show, Chris Martin of Coldplay said ‘Nothing is better than going out, standing there in front of all these people, creating great energy and playing with all of your best friends.’ That is what life is all about!

Life is about enjoying yourself. Life is about experiencing things. Life is about having fun with your friends. Life is not about chasing people you want to come into your life; life is about attracting people into your life.

It was an amazing thing to be in The Forum last night, which is saying a lot. For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Forum in Los Angeles, it is just an absolutely awful and outdated arena. It was cool, though, being there last night with about 20,000 people who were layed back and just having a good time.

No, this blog is not about giving you a wake-up call to buy Coldplay concert tickets (although I certainly would recommend their show). This wake-up call was inspired by the combination of these realizations I experienced at the concert and some realizations I’ve made in the last few days.

Some things have happened to me in recent that really rocked my world. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling, enjoying myself a little bit and, of course, working. I was in Santa Fe last weekend and was in Hawaii before that. While I was in Hawaii the woman who sits for my six year-old English Lab Daphne noticed a lump on her belly. Although the lump was not new, it had been small and had not previously changed in size.

When I returned home, I saw that the lump had indeed gotten bigger so I took Daphne to the vet. The vet looked at it and didn’t want to do anything, but I made her aspirate it anyway. During my Santa Fe trip, the lab report came back which showed that there were mast cells in the cyst that was aspirated.

Now, mast cells in a dog can be either malignant or non-malignant. I actually have been learning all about them over the last several days. Although there seem to be conflicting medical viewpoints on what Daphne’s lab results mean and although I really didn’t think there was anything wrong with her, at this point I thought it would be better to just take the lump out anyway.

I am figuring she will be okay. My fingers are crossed. What all of this makes you realize, though, is that life is very precious.

Life can be taken away from you at any moment. Everything that you love or have ever built – whether it’s relationships, animals or friends – can be lost in an instant. You don’t know what fate has in store for you.

You have no idea what’s going to happen to you on any single day. So why do so many people choose not to live life to the fullest every single day? Why do so many people go through life like they’re in a coma?

It always amazes me how so many of us go through life like we’re here forever and like we have an unlimited amount of time to experience life. We live our lives as if no matter what we do and no matter what happens, we’re going to be here forever . . . but we’re not.

Not only are we not here forever, we could be here a much shorter time than we anticipate. Life is a gift, and it’s a gift that you need to embrace every single day.

I mean, this last week has been really tough for me – I had to go and research (and see pictures of ) this thing called a mast cell tumor, I had to talk to all sorts of people and doctors and vets trying to figure out whether my dog is sick. I wanted to make sure that Daphne gets the best attention, because I really don’t want to lose her.

What I’ve realized over these last days is that everything that is precious to me can be taken away in a second. So with that realization in mind, why don’t you enjoy everything you do to the max? Enjoy life! Enjoy the gift that is your life.

Men spend so much time trying to chase women and worrying about what to say or do when they see someone they want to meet. Just walk up to those woken and stop overanalyzing every little thing. Stop wasting your time with worry, and start experiencing.

I wrote a blog like this awhile back based on the movie “The Bucket List.” Well in this blog I’m going to talk about making other kinds of lists.

What if you made a list of all the things you are afraid of doing? How about a list of all the things you’ve been wanting to do “someday” but have never done? Why not start doing the things on these lists, because you never know when you’ll no longer be here.

As I’m walking Daphne right now and noticing how happy and content she is just sniffing the warm night air, I realize that this beautiful gift of this English Labrador may not be here forever. Although I am going to do everything in my power to make sure she is, I am also going to make sure that every moment she does have here is amazing. I am going to appreciate every moment I have with her.

It’s time for all of you get out of your comas and start looking at life as the gift that it is. Here’s your wake-up call!

Ok that was a heavy blog so todays video is all about being goofy and having fun!

How To Seem More Confident Than You Really Are

Donovan — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:16:29 +0000

In Bang there’s a section about the two ways to increase your confidence (starts on page XX). I don’t have anything to add to that short list, but I have found a way that a girl can PERCEIVE you as more confident.

Imagine you are a girl for a second and you’re in some bar drinking with your girlfriends. Guys come up to you all the time, some with decent game but some with tired “What are you drinking?” game. What is the one thing that would tell you a guy knows what he’s doing, has probably had a lot of girls, and can give you both emotional and physical pleasure?

Boldness.

Let me explain with a story.

I was at a bar when I started talking to a cute girl. I sat down on a bar stool to face her and sat so our legs were touching. After 10 minutes of conversation, I made it seem like I just noticed her bracelets and starting touching them. Then I noticed some drink spilled on her jeans, and started “rubbing” it out. She quickly hit my hand away.

Even though I was surprised, I pretended nothing happened and continued our conversation. Then five minutes later, I just started poking her thigh while she was talking. That’s when she started giving commentary on my pickup..

“I saw you here the other night talking to girls. I have a feeling you hit on a lot of girls and you do this all the time.” I just said I was “outgoing” and “friendly,” with a smirk of course.

She knows that this is what I do, that I hit on girls like herself every night. But she cannot tell her brain to stop feeling attraction for a desirable man. I am a desirable male because she THINKS I do this all the time and that I’m successful at it (why else would I be bold?). And she thinks I do this all the time simply because I’m touching her early and in ways other guys are too scared to do.

I made out with her before I got her number, after a total time of 30 minutes or so of talking to her. Keep in mind this was from a girl who hit my hand away when I started touching her.

Being bold screams confidence, because it tells the girl that you are NOT AFRAID and have done this before. She will think, “Who does he think he is touching me so early in the conversation?” “Look how close his face is getting to mine. What makes him think he will kiss me tonight?” The answer in her head will be something like, “Because he knows what he’s doing and has succeeded at it before.”

And here’s the beautiful part: she will have no idea what your past is, no idea how many women you really did sleep with or didn’t. All it takes is one trait—boldness—to be the man she wants to sleep with right now.

This means that even if you have zero confidence, just sucking it up and trying to push the boundaries to get closer sooner than you think you can, you actually increase the chance that you will get a make-out or sex. Weird how things work.

Just a few years ago the approach itself would scream boldness and be an attractant in its own right, but we’ve entered the age of pick-up where any Joe Schmo who lost his virginity is peddling an ebook and robot monkeys are approaching girls with the tired “Who lies more” opener. A cute girl has been approached hundreds of times by the time you get to her, so now it’s early touching and kissing will give the boldness effect.

Before I got into the game, that wouldn’t make any sense to me. I’d wait very patiently for obvious green lights and only then would I proceed with caution. But the more experience I got (going on a decade now), the more impatient I became, and the sooner I started going for it. And it worked. Not only did I get more, but I got it much quicker.

Now I’m pretty spoiled. If I don’t get a makeout within 30 minutes or so, I think something is wrong… WITH HER. The only time I get numbers now without make-outs is when I simply ran out of time.

It wasn’t always like this, and it did take me work to get here, but if you start with a solid foundation of techniques (which I teach in my book Bang), it will be just practice and commitment on your part. If you haven’t already done so, check out page samples today..

Venusian Arts and Mystery “Not Affiliated” With Area51Lifestyle

Donovan — Tue, 06 May 2008 01:49:26 +0000

*Update: Text message photos with Lovedrop at bottom*

According to Venusian Arts, they no longer have Mike Long and Area51Lifestyle as a marketing partner. For those guys who aren’t informed, Area51Lifestyle were the powerhouse behind the Mind of Mystery product. Lovedrop told me that the Venusian Arts were upset with the production of the Mind of Mystery DVD set by Area51Lifestyle. Apparently, the DVDs didn’t look like the production photos, had no chapter listings, and basically “warned him in advance not to skimp on those things”.

Hence, the 33% return rate with affiliates and a few as high as 75%. After talking to Lovedrop, he tells me they are no longer working with Mike Long and Area51Lifestyle are using Mystery’s name without Venusian Art’s permission. Mike Long denies this as he tells me they have a signed contract and are owed marketing expenses. These rumors discussed on Savoy’s blog.

Does this sound familiar? Well.. it should, because Mystery has a long history of screw ups with business partners. I hope he gets better help for the future or tries to fix whatever causes him to cause chaos with successful business partners.

Venusian Arts Revelation is a new book due out soon, and you can count on it being a top grade product, according to Lovedrop. Everything will be done in house and by their quality standards. Apparently, lesson learned…

Myspace, Facebook & Social Network Dating Guide

Donovan — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:01:23 +0000

Myspace, Facebook and other social networks are great places to meet women. Remember my post on meeting women on Facebook? Well, apparently I’m not the only guy doing this successfully. I found the following video on youtube yesterday:

Looks good huh?

After seeing the video I decided to get in touch with the social networking seducer Race De Priest and his accomplice Kelly. I asked them a bunch of questions.

Race, what kind of success did you have with women before getting great at social networking?

Well I wasn’t too shabby. I had a decent amount of women in my life but not nearly as many as I wanted. My goal was 3 new dates a week. I had to go out 4 or 5 nights a week to achieve those types of results and even then I didn’t always make it. Now that Kelly has taught me his system for meeting women on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace it’s not uncommon for me to have a new date every single night of the week. Sometimes 2 in a single day. Ridiculous right? I wouldn’t have believed it either. The secret is meeting women online allows you to leverage your time so you can seriously meet as many women as you want to.

Do you prefer Myspace or Facebook more? What are some of the differences of each?

I will always have a special place in my heart for MySpace since that is where I first learned this system. Recently I have been using Facebook a lot and am getting just as many dates from there. In fact, I am meeting a new girl tonight from Facebook. I’ll break down the differences as I see them.

MySpace:
Pros
-Highly Customizable to show off your attractive qualities
-Easy to navigate and very intuitive
-The most popular social network site on the planet (over 250 million people)
Cons
-Since there are so many people girls get hit on much more frequently

Facebook:
Pros
-Highly targeted to the college crowd
-Integrated chat feature
-Since it is more private girls don’t get hit on as often
Cons
-Harder to navigate and find quality girls
-Girls overall take longer to reply

My suggestion is since they are both open to the public and are both free get an account on both sites. Our system shows you how to set both profiles up step by step so you can attract women on autopilot.

Can you give me a sample interaction on Facebook?

Sure, no problem. Here is a girl I met a couple of months ago.

It’s nice to meet you Race (even though it’s not in person)! I completely agree with always trying to think positive and finding the silver lining in everything that you do. I know from experience that a positive attitude can make a world of a difference! But you’re right, it’s gotta be in moderation. Some people take it way too far! So you’re from New Mexico, right? Do you live in Vegas now?

Are you stalking me…cause I am actually in the market for a new stalker…my old one is getting boring And yes I do live in Vegas…going on 9 mo now. I moved here from San Diego/ New Zealand.

Have you ever been bowling at southpoin?

Maybe I am your next stalker and I didn’t even realize it So New Zealand, how long were you there and for what… if you don’t mind me asking! Your pictures are amazing! And the photo comment that you left me is hilarious! So how do you like Vegas so far? I’ve never been bowling at South Pointe. Do you like it?

From: Race

I really don’t think my page says it…at least I couldn’t find it..but hey your the stalker with the excellent observation skills and sneaky info gathering tactics

I lived in New Zealand for 1yr total. First for university and then just to travel and bartend. Vegas has treated me well though the girls here are less than satisfactory…and say girls because they all act like little girls not women. Not sure if that makes sense to you.

I was asking about southpoint because me and my friends go bowling there every now and then and I thought you might like to come so I could kick your ass

Yeah, I checked your page again too… I couldn’t find it either!! Who knows where I pulled that one from??

So did you like New Zealand?

I understand what you’re trying to say about girls in Vegas, but let me reassure you that these boys aren’t much better!! Much different from the midwest! So why’d you pick Vegas as your next stop?

I would love to go bowling!! But to be honest, you probably will beat me. I’m not so good, but then again, I hardly ever fail to surprise myself!

Hope you’re enjoying your evening!

I loved loved loved New Zealand!

I picked Vegas because I wanted to assist my buddy with his music and start a new company:)

well I am not the best at bowling either but I have a blast doing it. Shoot me over your # and we’ll go in the next week or so. It is after midnight so you’ll have to be a little bit of a night owl to keep up

That’s so amazing! I can’t wait to go to another country! You’ll probably have to tell me all about it

So what kind of music does your buddy play and what type of company are you starting?

I AM a night owl with a day job, unfortunately;) But I’ll see what I can do! My number is xxx*xxx*xxxx

And I’ve never tried hookah, but I would love to!

It’s just that easy…haha Just kidding. It took us years to develop this system but we did all the hard work so you guys don’t have to. There are a ton more sample interactions like this one in our Insiders Club so guys can get learn from them.

How easily can a guy implement your techniques and will they get old after a few months from other guys using them too?

That is a common concern. The techniques we teach can be implemented rather quickly so that guys could be up and messaging girls almost immediately. Our free video training series walks guys through step by step. As far as them getting old we teach guys how to created their own material so they will be the only ones using it. In addition, we have set up an Insiders Club which has a huge database of all our best material (openers, role-playing, games, conversational hooks, real life start to finish interactions with girls, techniques to make her want to give you her number, how to set up a date, etc) so that guys can get new material instantly as it’s created as well as submit their ideas for review or to help other guys out.

Amazing video! What is the fastest thing a guy can do to improve his social networking game?

The fastest thing a guy can do is, and probably the most important, is to set up his profile correctly to demonstrate all his attractive qualities. It is kinda like his very own commercial selling him to all the girls who come look at it. We have training videos that show you step by step how to do this. We even include the code to use along with the applications to make it a piece of cake.

Your ebook is released on Friday, what can guys expect?

Here is the cool thing, we are actually releasing not just an ebook but an entire system called Window Shopping For Women! With the purchase of the book you also get access to our insiders club which includes a huge database of all our material, an interactive media training center and even a software program that we had to build out of necessity to keep track of all the girls who are responding. We are making it so that it is almost impossible for any guy to fail using our system.

Have you noticed anything else on the market, and how does it compare to yours?

Our niche of meeting women on social networking site like MySpace and Facebook is relatively untouched. I think I have seen a couple ebooks on the subject. I even bought one to see what they were teaching. It was sad. The advice would leave a guy just as frustrated as before he read it. On top of that there was no support in place to help guys when they had questions. We truly want guys to have as much success as we have had. We want every guys out there to have as many quality women in their life as they want.

I’ve heard some girls are turned off by tons of women commenting on your profile, have you noticed anything to back that up?

Turned off isn’t the word. Jealous is more accurate. When a girls sees comments from other girls of her same social standing/ perceived beauty level she subconsciously accepts you as a dating possibility. It also makes her more comfortable with you. If other girls similar to her find you attractive and like hanging out with you then you must be ok. It is a form of social proof. In most instances her competitive drive will kick in and she will want to be the one who steals you away from all those other girls. You become the prize she wants all to herself. It’s a social status thing.

If A Girl Tries To Flake Out On The First Date

Donovan — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:50:42 +0000

Roosh’s new book “Bang” (my review) is amazing. It’s basically all the beginning-intermediate pickup advice you could need for a natural/routine based game. I’m not kidding when I say it has great stuff from all the schools of thought. It’s all compressed no nonsense, and very easy reading. He just released a digital version of his book for under $25, so go get yourself a copy. I’ll have a review up for Bang very shortly.

If a girl tries to reschedule the first date and you haven’t had sex with her yet, you are looking at something that could kill the interaction.

The time between getting her number and seeing her again is when most girls flake, so it’s important you keep that time to under one week. You call within a couple days of meeting her and schedule a date for a couple days after that. If too much time passes until she sees you again, momentum is lost and the interaction loses importance in her mind.

The reason: if she meets a new guy and doesn’t see him for over a week and doesn’t feel any discomfort, how will she come to the realization that it’s important to see him?

If a girl tries to cancel the first date, and you make it easy for her to do so, there’s a risk that date one will never occur. When dealing with a girl’s attempt to cancel, the main idea is to not let her off the hook so easily. Make it uncomfortable for her so there is tension that she attempts to relieve, either by canceling her cancellation or by wanting to quickly reschedule.

Girls usually cancel on the same day of the date through text or phone. If she calls you on the day of the date, let her leave a message by not picking up your phone. Do not respond to her until the very last minute, where she worries that you will actually show up to the date or that you were going to stand her up. For example if you set a date at 8PM and she cancels at 5, do not call her until 7:15-7:30. The extra time also allows you to think about the best way to respond.

A few months ago I had a first date with a girl I met at a dive bar. It was set at 8:30 but I got a text message in the afternoon from her saying she is not feeling well and needs to cancel. I didn’t respond and went on with my day. I came home, ate dinner, and then got a call from her an hour before the date was supposed to happen. She asked if I received her text message and I said yes, that I was right about to call her. She said that she feels a little bit better and can go out as planned.

In some cases doing NOTHING actually keeps the date on schedule. Who would have thought that? It’s better to go out with a sick girl or one that is less than 100% ready to have sex because it at least keeps the interaction going. Remember, the more time that passes before the first date, the less important you become.

I took this girl out, did some very light kissing at the end, and then banged her on the next date. Now if I responded to her text message before she felt “better,” the date wouldn’t have happened and it’s possible I may not have gotten the bang.

At the very least, delaying your response stirs up some worry and places you in her mind for a much longer time. I don’t know what a girl is thinking when she is trying to cancel a date, but I think it’s possible that your delayed response would make her think, “Maybe I’m making a mistake.” At best, like in my personal example
above, doing absolutely nothing will keep you on the right track.

I wouldn’t have been able to figure out the best way to deal with girls canceling dates unless I got A LOT of dates, but in all of high school and college I got a grand total of two dates. And nothing happened on either date. I was clueless AND sexless.

I made a commitment to solve this problem with a fresh start after college, and proceeded to figure out the best ways to meet girls, talk to them, and get dates. I used to never get dates, but I became a guy who would view a date just as another experiment to figure out women. Imagine how long a way I came.

Now I worry about things other than girls, like the meaning of life which country I want to visit next.

Before I focused on solving my other problems, I wrote down everything I knew about how to get laid in my book Bang. It’s a reference guide that will be a shortcut for you to get up to speed and start landing girls you want. More lays in 60 days…

New Book “Attraction Code” by Vin DiCarlo Soon Released

Donovan — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:03:15 +0000

Just got word that Vin DiCarlo, one of the ex-founders of theApproach, is releasing a new book tomorrow that is sure to get the attention of the community. Vin DiCarlo has been one of the leading proponents of “natural game” for years now, and his teachings reflect it. This is Vin’s first book in over 4 years, so I for one am excited for it.

Apparently, there are NO outer game techniques, and NO inner game exercises. I was confused about what was going on… I had to re-read his website to figure out what the “Attraction Code” actually was. In a nutshell, it’s the system to get you thinking like a pickup artist. In a way, that’s inner game. But is it? Well, inner game gets you thinking good about yourself, but the “Attraction Code” focuses in on those specific mindsets that you need for attraction, not JUST self-esteem. Vin cites a friend who is constantly unhappy but has incredible success with women, and he reveals that and apparently more in his new book.

This book is only available to those on this Attraction Code interest list – not the general public. Vin didn’t give me a reason of why, but did say he wasn’t going to play games at launch with “his server crashing” or “there are only 200 copies of this product to download”. No bullshit, Vin wants you to get your hands on the “Attraction Code” and the only way do that is by raising your hand and getting on his VIP list. I’m assuming more is waiting for those who buy the book…

I’ll be getting a more detailed review of this product up in the reviews section soon, but in the mean time check out his VIP list for more information, and download the sample PDF via Vin’s website.

How To Be Every Woman’s “Type”

Donovan — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:55:21 +0000

Guys might say they have ‘types’, like blondes, or short and petit, or like women with blue eyes, or brunettes, whatever…but I’d guess that most of you never refer to your “type” as being “excessively overweight” or “big boned with a great personality”.

Yet, this is in fact what guys settle for when they think they have no shot at something better looking.
Likewise, 99% of all women prefer a guy with a great body – regardless of hair and eye color, or how tall or short he is. There is no such thing as an attractive women who “prefers” a guy with a big sloppy gut, or a hot woman who would really like a guy with a weak sunken chest, no muscle in his arms and skinny twigs for legs.

Rest assured… these body looks are not any woman’s “type”, they are just what women settle for when they realize they can’t get their hands on a better looking guy…

Now, of course you might say that rock stars or big time Hollywood celebrities get great looking women without being in any kind of shape… and I’ll agree to an extent… but if you’ll notice… most of these guys are in pretty good shape too!

There is current research that shows… on average:

Women with great bodies have sex with guys that have great bodies.

Women with a few extra pounds tend to end up with guys with a few extra pounds.

And women who are really big, well you can fill the blank in here.

In other words more often than not… you’re going to end up in bed with a girl who’s body is only as good as yours.

In fact, studies show that it’s rare for a guy who is completely out of shape to constantly be having sex with women that have the hottest of hot bodies. It’s much more likely that the women available to you have a body that rates about the same as yours does.

So… the question is… how do you build a 10-rated body that will help you get the 10-rated women?
Fact: there is a precise measurable body shape and size that almost all women are attracted to without even KNOWING IT.

It’s totally subconscious.

In other words, women will be drawn to you without knowing HOW or WHY.

And, it doesn’t matter how tall or short you are, you have a specific shape and size that will fit on your frame and will spark attraction in all women.

If you’re like most men, you’ve probably read popular fitness magazines for workout and diet information. Or, if you’re a former athlete you might use the workout you learned playing sports.
Maybe you know a personal trainer who can give you tips.

You might even be a fitness enthusiast and personal trainer yourself and study this kind of stuff all the time.

But, I gotta tell you, building a body that women are subconsciously attracted to is more precise than any of this… it’s not child’s play.

Having been a professional trainer for over 10 years with graduate research in exercise physiology and nutrition under my belt… trust me when I say that the specific shape that men need to be in to subconsciously attract women is not obvious BY ANY MEANS.

I’ve spent the last year researching the psychology of attraction and the physiology of the male body shape that women find most attractive and the ONE THING that I uncovered throughout this grueling research is that there IS a specific body proportion that is deemed “perfect”… and that almost every woman that you come in contact with will be attracted to.

This specific body shape is more muscular than the average man… yet isn’t as “hulking” as one might think.

But, make no mistake, this musculature IS a clear sign of masculinity and dominance to women that they are instinctually attracted to.

(Incidentally, research also proves that women are more likely to have short term relationships that are based primarily on sex with more muscular men that posses this specific body shape and size. This even goes for women who are currently “attached”. As long as you have a better body than the guy she is dating there will be a certain number of women who just won’t be able to resist the urge to sleep with you! No dating or romancing required.)

It doesn’t matter if you’re skinny, average, or heavy, your perfectly proportioned body is attainable… just be willing to build it, and reap the benefits!
