Neil Strauss recently said this and it goes along with my post about peacocking done right.

I recently saw a heavily peacocked guy at a bar who thought he was a ladies man. Women laughed at his jokes and allowed him to have his hands all over them. However, what he didn’t realize was that these women were humoring him. They were being nice because they felt sorry for him, then they’d quickly and politely extricate themselves.

What he was missing was something called calibration, which most of you read about on Day 28 of Rules of The Game. However, there’s something I’d like to add to that: measure yourself by your RESULTS. If you go out and you’re surrounded by women, yet you still sleep alone every night, it’s time to examine your behavior and figure out what you’re doing wrong.

***MAILBAG QUESTION***

Hey Dave! Ok, so after all these hundreds of e-mails and testimonials you get, you KNOW this cocky+funny works, but I must say I’m happy that I FEEL I’m starting to get it. I had your ebook and cd series for a few months and I listened to the cds and read the book over and over. It was great but I guess its obvious you dont see success until you get out there and practice it and SEE how it works. At first, it simply made no sense… I tried it and didnt get much response until I developed the character for it and made it apart of me. Cocky+funny isnt something you try out, its something you have to make a part of you! When you do that, c+f comes natural and makes conversations so much more fun! Not only that it creates that attraction you talk about so much! So, like I said, having the right MINDSET is whats important,not learning LINES, but here’s a few I like. And I could use some of these when I feel the conversation is drying up. “Hey…….quit looking at my ass! I know you want to jump my bones but slow down!” (even if she wasnt doing that) (when a woman gets quiet or there’s a break in the conversation) “I know I make you nervous and all but please…try to control yourself!” Here’s one question I like to ask: Me: So do you cook…well? Her: Yes, I do. Me: Great, since you know the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, you can cook me dinner. I want….(fill in whatever you want her to cook!) “You couldnt handle this…” (that one alone works well) (if you catch her looking at you…or even if you dont) “I saw that…I know you keep looking at my sexy bod and you want it so bad you’re drooling, but cant we be friends first?” “Are you shy or something? Why havent you asked me out yet (or asked for my phone number)? I know you’re afraid I’ll seduce you and make you fall madly in love with me but you’ll just have to learn to handle it!” “Tsk tsk tsk…you should be ashamed of yourself.” She says: “Why?” “For trying to seduce/pickup a guy like me! I know you want me but be patient!” (when she does something I dont like) “Well, its just not workin between us. I’m going to have to cut off the sex, the kisses, the cuddling, all of it until you be a good girl!” Most of my C+F focuses on assuming she wants you and is trying to pick up on you, even if she doesnt! (well, personally I believe all women want me for my sexy bod and usually when I use the techniques, they DO!) I think what surprised me the most is that these work with women I JUST MET! I thought I’d find it easier to learn C+F from an angle…some like to bust on women’s looks, her clothes, etc…but I took the approach of accusing her of being obssessed with me…it works! I also find it
effective to turn around some common things men do for women…like I tell women to buy ME dinner, buy ME gifts, take ME out, pick ME up, etc. I love it! I have so much more fun now and there’s no fear in talking to women anymore… its great. I know you dont like relationship questions but I’m going to ask anyhow. Is it necessary to tone down the cocky+funny when you two become boyfriend/girlfriend? (not cut it off completely, but tone it down) And second, how do you respond when women start challenging you back? (her saying: “you couldnt handle this” for example) I know you shouldnt turn wussy but I dont have a good response to her turning it on me…which I like the challenge of it but I’d like to know some good comebacks.
Thanks a million Dave! GT from Tennessee

Found this in some archives, and thought it would be great to get this out to the mainstream once more. I had lunch with Craig from Double Your Dating and he KNOWS what game is all about. Many of the underlying principles of Mystery Method and Double Your Dating originally come from him.

Ever since I was on Elimidate people have been hounding me about my dance floor routines, so being the nice guy that I am I decided to type them up. Here you go guys. Enjoy. The dance floor is a huge part of my closing game and I hope this helps you guys out there.

Here is a show that is featured on FuseTV, and some of you might have seen it already. It’s not community based, but gives a glimpse into the club life. Basically, guys have certain tasks to complete, and a panel provides commentary.

Fun stuff!

Pickup artists in the community have been trying to master the art of getting women by learning through a vartiety of sources: ebooks, DVDs, bootcamps, phone and one-on-one consulting services.

What if you could actually live with a world famous pickup artist, that has had proven results?

Crazy thought. Well, I got an email from Gambler. He’s a good friend, he lives near Leicester Square in London. He runs a pimp pad with a bunch of other pick up artists and some might call it the Secret London Lair. Gambler apparently didn’t learn about the community till after alittle while through him searching for answers to his dating problems. You can read all about Gambler’s interview about his journey from chump to chick magnet, and how he set up one of the worlds largest PUA Training companies. Fascinating stuff, and gives hope to a lot of guys out there.

Anyways, Gambler is now offering Residential Courses to approved candidates. I actually had a friend who took the residential course whom I met a Doctor Paul seminar in Chicago in March. He then flew to London and took the residential course. He was from Brazil, and emailed me about how much his game improved. Gambler told me he brought back two women on both nights - to confirm!

Most men restrict themselves to meeting women in bars and clubs on a weekend. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could meet women all the time, every time you are out of your house. Adding the ability to do this will increase the number of women you can seduce massively, and the best part is, it’s easier!

Day time seductions have lots of benefits and differences compared to night game:

* The girls are usually on their own (they probably won’t be in the night!).
* The girls are not used to getting hit on in this situation so don’t have a negative attitude towards it.
* You will be getting the real person - most people have a persona that they adopt in a club.
* Because you are both sober and being yourselves, any number you get in the day-time is a lot more solid.
* Meeting a guy in the day is a lot more romantic than “the dude in the club”.
* You meet girls that don’t ever go to clubs - a different type of girl. You also meet clubby girls too!
