There is a huge difference between being a pushy asshole and being honest about your intent.

Amazing post. Just a quick add on from my experience: Calibration is almost as much about learning yourself as it is getting used to norms. Some people can get away with more in the beginning but have a harder time being taken seriously at the end - others are just the opposite. Once you begin to get a feel how people generally size you up at first, it's going to become much easier. It's also really easy to get "stuck" when calibrating. If you get really happy making out in the corner of the bar…

I hope I didn't get here too late for you to read this, but I struggled hugely with this in college. You are plateauing. Think of it from a girl's perspective. She meets a pretty cool, confident guy and starts having fun with him. She's having a huge emotional rush of nerves and excitement. You ever see Armeggedon where the rock is about to launch and Owen Wilson (I think) answer the question of how do you feel with, "I'm 1% scared and 99% excited, or 99% scared and 1% exicted - I don't know"?

I think if you took someone who was totally horrible with women and eventually became a lady's man, the single difference that would be present in every guy would be that he now views his missteps through a guilty perspective rather than a shameful one. Having said that - I don't mean to strawman you here pal - I think you're looking at the result of the interactions, not the cause. I like poker. There are a lot of players out there who are basically just people with gambling addictions. When th…

I responded to the same question in /r/askseddit as follows: This is a skill, but it can be broken down into 3 basic components: Superficial Observational/Jerry Seinfeld (As a girl in yoga pants walks past) "What's the deal with these yoga pants that every girl wears? They all look so good in them. It's basically false advertising. See that girl over there, she looks like she has a nice body now, but if she was wearing jeans...not so sure.

In theoretical physics, there is a community of a bunch of smart people who makes guesses. Once there is enough evidence that a guess works, (i.e. it can predict something happening that would be 1/1000000000 chance of happening otherwise) it becomes accepted. Then once it becomes accepted, other smart people start building on it until they have something that as shown to be successful by the same criteria and this process just compounds. When the seduction community was small and relegated to o…

I work 45 hours per week and run my own business on the side for another 15-20 hours and it isn't too much.

Own it. If you are thrown off by it, your insecurity is going to make people feel weird. I don't know how to react to your stutter, so all of a sudden your insecurity has me tip-toeing around and questioning myself. Just be like - sorry - I have this fucking stutter sometimes when I meet new people (if it's a guy). Or if it's a cute girl, tell them that you used to have a stutter when you were little and now it only comes back when a girl is adorable enough to make you nervous.

Next time you go to a party write a detailed field report. Remember the openers you used, where the conversation went, how it ended, how kino was going, etc. Include multiple attempts. Then you'll get a proper critique and hopefully some good advice. Do you think you're going to get anything of value by telling us you say hi to a girl and touch them a bit?

Unless you seem into the girl on some level, usually making fun of her isn't going to end well. Something like, "you're pretty cute, too bad you wear beige shorts. I bet you could rock some (whatever shorts you're into)." will usually be a good move if the girl is on a high horse and thinks she is out of your league or something... Just blatantly making fun of her or saying stuff like, "you're boring, I don't like you" is 9 out of 10 going to push her away. You want to seem like you have high st…

You raise an important ethical and logistical issue. This is the way I handle it: You make it clear that you see things as casual and that you are seeing other people. I've found the vast majority of girls don't mind this as long as they aren't led to believe otherwise from the beginning. You said you talk about ex's...I will say, "this other girl I am talking to" or "another girl that I hang out with" and have yet to have an objection. You'd be surprised how many girls are doing the EXACT SAME …

When you are opening, a line might be witty or unique or display a certain quality about you that when the girl in question doesn't have any other information about you, will make you attractive. So there are good openers (even though saying hi could still work just fine as well). In terms of closing, the girl already should feel like she knows you pretty well. You should have already proven that you are confident or witty or whatever else - so a single line at this point really isn't going to h…

Every time there is a sexually related post on here, the OP gets referenced to /r/sex. Sex is clearly a huge part of seduction. If you can be confident that you know what you are doing, your late stage escalation is going to be much better than if you are a bit nervous. Also, what we are doing here is a bit different than what /r/sex is doing. In the early days of pick up (and maybe still?) there was a bunch of talk about things like peacocking. How would that have progressed if every time someo…

I've said this in a bunch of other comments, but quick baby steps. Whenever you feel like you're taking a big jump, you probably are. If it feels forced for you it will probably feel forced for the girl as well. So, say you want to kiss and you're holding hands - instead of trying to take a big leap and make the move, try of thinking of something that falls between where you are (hand holding) and where you want to be (making out). If you continually hold yourself to this test (i.e. is there any…

The "oh you didn't meet me I guess you don't like me" (most likely) isn't the guy just expressing his passion and disappointment with the girl. He's trying to make her feel bad so he gets a pity hang out because that's the best move he has. I wouldn't feel bad for him - it's not much better than stomping his feet and crying like a child. It's weird how much learning "game" is really about unlearning a bunch of shitty immature habits.

My personal answers (I mostly do clubs and bars, daygame might differ a bit): How far do you escalate in the first 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes? Within the first 5 I'm going to try to get one (and only one) subtle form of resistance. This way she knows it's on from the start but she also sees that I'm not needy or pushy since I'm able to calibrate so well to even the most subtle form of resistance. This works best when she isn't even aware of her own resistance - this way it just seems like I'm real sm…

"Just go for it" is a useful concept to gain experience, but I wouldn't really say it's the best mindset once you know what you are doing. If "just go for it" were the overarching concept here, then the best move would be to just rip your pants off and walk up to her ready to go. Clearly that doesn't work, and the reason is because it's too much of a jump - just like I'd argue that going from light kino to making out is too much of a jump. So if "just go for it" has you making moves that are hur…

I think your biggest mistake here was leaping. You guys were hanging out a lot and texting a lot and everything (easy on over texting btw) and flirty - but your move for the kiss was a big one. Sometimes a hail mary works, but rarely - just try to gain a few yards at the time and establish a drive. Try and make it so you just happen to kiss instead of jumping from light kino to making out. Also, "do you still want to be friends?" after a denial on the kiss is horrible. Don't do that. I would eit…

Why the fuck is this concept getting so much attention lately? The answer is simple, it doesn't change your chances but it does change the process of converting things into a relationship. A SNL girl won't be (as much) formal courting and will usually progress just as two people hanging out and hooking up until you are together all the time and then ask each other what's up. Conversely, the dating route means that once you hook up you are pretty close to a relationship. Who the fuck goes on a bu…

Just do it, but do it the right way... If done properly, nothing will really feel like a jump. That goes for kissing, sex and whatever else. Here are a few tips: DiCarlo escalation ladder. If you don't know it, learn it. Position yourself so that she is coming on to you. When you are talking slowly move your positioning so that your back is to the wall and facing outwards toward everyone else and she is facing only toward you. Keep pushing until you feel resistance, then back off just a bit. So …

It's unfortunate that people think like this, but we all do (in varying degrees). When people get things that they want, they just develop an air of entitlement. It really ranges from anything like, "I deserve a multi-million dollar bonus because I went to Harvard" to the character of the above post's "I deserve to have sex with women because I work harder than other guys". This entitlement enables people to do absolutely sick things. It's why a rich person can support cutting social safety nets…

I believe the answer to all of your problems is called "The DiCarlo Escalation Ladder." Kissing isn't the beginning of kino, is actually toward the end. If you escalate properly it's not going to feel like a jump when you try to kiss her, but a progression.

The friendly card plays man, just be you and keep pushing forward. If you are being friendly and having a great time together and chatting up - invite her back. You shouldn't be thinking that you need to act a certain way to get physical. If the date goes great and you just say, "this has been fun so far, you should come back for a few drinks." I bet that'd work more than you would think. I mean, is it better to get lots of kino going and to build tension and to progress in a certain way - defin…

My 10 Cents: No one is going to get a response rate that's good enough to merit getting too worried one specific interaction on OKC. That girl probably gets 20+ messages per day, the fact you scored a response in the first place is pretty cool (and probably means you have a decent profile) but at the end of the day I think you'd be wasting your time if you think you can target a specific girl. (1b.) As for a message back...it's basically a lottery ticket. At the end of the day it's going to be a…

It's always good to show the target that you have some pretty tight game. When talking to her friends, focus on the fundamentals like keeping strong eye contact, escalating light kino and controlling frame. You don't need to fuck these girls so don't push too hard or put yourself in a situation where they are giving you resistance, but demonstrate to the target what you are capable of. When she looks over and you are touching her friend's hand and you both have your eyes locked with each other..…

Confidence is not about being right but assuming you are until otherwise proven. Don't second guess yourself unless you absolutely should... This is something I see people fuck up all the time. Take two different people who are think the same thing but in different ways. Person #1 - "A killer whale isn't a whale, I know this because I am smart." Person #2 - "I am smart. I think a killer whale isn't really a whale." Person 1 is the asshole who jumps all over you because he is grounding who he is …

The young love feeling you are talking about is a visceral response of a man who is no longer sure of himself but sure about what he wants. There really is no better feeling in the world. And as long as you derive some of your identity through other people (which you do, unless you are a complete narcissist) eventually you will find a girl who tests you and challenges you enough to make you feel this way. I know that I've found several... It sounds like to some extent you are devaluing (dehumani…

To be honest, the game that you employ when you are drunk probably wouldn't work coming from a sober you anyways. When you have a drink in your hand you are able to get away with a lot more (by not being taken as seriously) with girls. Also, you are going to usually be conversing with girls who have a few drinks in them - which makes them more receptive (usually). If you are good at bar/club game with a couple of drinks in you, great. But don't make the mistake of thinking a lot of the lines you…

The idea that people are mechanistic and that manipulation is the best way to build a relationship are the two undercurrents around here that I absolutely resent. And in my experience, are mostly wrong. The best gift you can offer someone is to accept them and like them as the person they are. I'm not talking about all the superficial stuff (jobs, money, looks, etc.) but about admiring they way they interpret and experience the world - and then totally accepting it.

In my experience, a girl will often get intimidated by a much better looking girl and then withdraw from the interaction instead of facing rejection from the guy. People try to avoid outright rejection. Now, if the OP is hitting on a guy and around the same attractiveness (or less attractive) - then the girl is going to be more receptive of advances to better her chances. Basically if a girl thinks that she doesn't have a chance she will save face and bail - if she thinks she might have a chance…

I have a feeling that you ended up seeming a bit over the top touchy-feely and that you weren't really progressing conversationally so the kino began to stand out to the girl and weirded her out. Maybe you should try to be the one who terminates the contact before she feels like she has to. You let go of her hand, or move your leg. Hold it for a while, but try to be the one to stops contact. This way she doesn't get into a rhythm of turning you down. Also, the kiss thing you did sounds HORRIBLE.…

Girl's have an instinctual maternal instinct that makes them want to nurse sick or injured people. So I would play on that a little bit (don't go overboard though). Just go up with confidence and show them that despite the fact that you broke your foot, you have the perseverance to keep fighting. There was a college football game a while back where (I think it was Byron Leftwich) broke is ankle in the last minute or so, but continued playing and put together a last minute drive to win the game. …

I have a way different frame than you and almost never get that type of resistance. It's not because I'm better, it's because I'm more a finesse player (a la Kobe Bryant) while you are more of a physical-direct player (a la Shaq). Both were two of the best basketball players ever, but it's pretty obvious that two very different sets of skills had to be learned for each to get where they are. So, you realize that the reason you are getting "I'm not sleeping with you" right off the bat is because …

I agree that IOI's are big, but I also think that your specific example brings up a huge issue in and of itself. After you have made enough approaches so that you are comfortable on your feet and savvy and confident enough to handle whatever a girl might throw at you, I don't think it's in your best interest to do approaches at all. I very rarely do anymore. When girls are in your area they become WAY more receptive of you initiating conversation than if you were to walk all the fuck across the …

I'm pretty sure this is why /r/askseddit was made. Thus far your relationship with her is seems to be pretty one dimensional (playful banter). It's almost impossible to hook up with her if you are just volleying jokes at each other and only connecting on a superficial level. You also seem to be pretty pumped about texting with her, which is a dangerous game. Texting all the time without being physical is a long road to anything physical and a quick road to being friend-zoned. You also have to un…

Kobe Bryant: "Hey Shaq, I really want to be good at basketball like you, how do you score 30 points a game?" Shaq: "I post up under the hoop and back people down then dunk in their face."

I honestly don't know if I'm ready to say anything, and yeah I don't want him to think I don't have other options etc. I'd be careful about the whole 'other options' thing as a girl. With a lot of guys if you seem too intimidating, you might scare them off. It's not like you have to build value or anything. Those kind of techniques work for building physical attraction (yes, physical), which for guys is largely independent of emotional attraction. If you guys are already sexually intimate, then …

"Trying too hard" means that you are relying on/seeking their approval too much, nothing else. You could try way harder than you do now, but if it seems like you are doing it because that's what you want to do rather than because that's what you think I want you to do - I wouldn't think anything of it.

I'm assuming by the questioning and your name that you are the girl here, correct? You have to understand that for a guy, though emotions are involved - it's not exactly the same as a girl. When guys get physically attached it isn't like our evolutionary wiring kicks in and we want you to stick around just for that reason (which you girl's have some of going on).

It's really tough to do.

It's cool to try and hang out with her as much as you want if you guise it under the pretense of physical interest. It's not clingy or unreasonable to want some more action. If you ask her out to dinner or something though you might give off the wrong impression. The way things are set up right now, you should be going for, "Hey, come over" or "?" texts.

I'm 23 as well. I've found that there are two routes where girls will start questioning me about a relationship. Either we have been hooking up casually for a long time or I've been on the dating route and things are starting to get physical. Usually with the latter a girl will say something like, "what are you looking to get out of this?" at first and then after I tell her it's way too early for me to know I will usually get another prod in the form of, "so what exactly are we?" a bit later.

Kino isn't my strong suit either and although the D.E. Ladder is supposedly a good method on its own, I've never had much success with it as such. I usually will try to pair my body language, kino and conversational depth. So let's say we start off with a superficial topic, in this case my body language will be disinterested/distant and there won't really be much kino.

Usually I will snag a number and get out of there if I'm pretty sure that the interaction isn't going to go much further, but I will always push until I find that point. This usually takes a good bit of time... This weekend I had a couple interactions where things were going quite well, but I grabbed the number after 2-3 minutes and got out of there. (I had an old g/f in town and was a little preoccu…

Involve other people. If you are walking around and making connections with a bunch of girls this is really valuable to all your friends (especially the ones better with girls who will know how to take advantage of this). Let's say you meet two cute girls, get your buddy over there to take one off your back. This includes people who aren't great with girls - I will make a good effort to hook my friends up who aren't the best on their feet all the time, everyone (those who do and don't do well) r…

I disagree with a lot of the advice here. In my experience it is a way better move to befriend the alpha guy than it is to challenge him. Most of the time I will deal with him like I would a girl's best friend, that is, win approval rather than trying to take dominance over him. Usually I'll ask the girl about him and she'll say something like, "don't worry about him he always does this (blah, blah, blah)" and I'll just go over and talk to him. "Hey man, I'm PyouA, is it cool if I talk to your f…

Posting up can be more effective than moving all over the place and opening, especially with a smaller bar/club. I just opened to every hot girl in my area and got to talk to just as many people as I normally would opening, but in each case the frame inherent in the set was that the girl came to me. This really strengthened the amount I was able to let the girl qualify to me. When you walk over to a girl from across the room the starting frame is that you are the one who approached her, so you h…

Once she starts talking to you and you can't hear her, make a gesture showing her that you can't hear, but don't learn in or make any effort to hear what she is saying (doesn't look good). If she keeps trying to talk to you, point off the dance floor, grab her hand and guide her to a place that is quieter and talk (but still keep pressing forward, don't lose all the progress you just made kinoing and start trying to be best buds). Also, I just posted a pretty detailed explanation about how hitti…

This is pretty much spot on, especially something where compliance is so black and white like the example you gave. I would just add that something that turns the tables a bit and reminds the girl that she is the one trying to impress you might be a good line. "hahahah, oh yeah? We will see if you get a call from me after that. (smile confidently, walk away)" That will usually get you a text from the girl an hour or so later saying how nice it was to meet you and how excited she is to hang out.

That sucks. When she initially told you she was with her friend did you take a step back so you could build up some momentum when you asked her again - or did you keep the interaction as is and then ask her under the same circumstances? You want to make moves when you are progressing (on a crescendo) rather than being static and stuck in the same position. If it were me, after she said, "I'm with my friend" I would have taken that as a rejection and thus made out with her and get touchy again ri…

If you are new to seduction generally, it might be in your best interest to just start and open as many sets as possible. There is a learning curve with this stuff, and being able to be sociable around girls and getting them to talk to you in the first place is a precursor to being able to bed them. That said, once you hit a brickwall one of two things have happened. Either you are moving too fast and she is putting on the brakes (this is good! Just adjust, take a step back and try again) or as …

That is a model I go by, yeah. Like any model it is imperfect, but I think that imperfection is a necessary part of reducing the complexity of interactions into a framework we can understand. It's a model - it's not how the world works. That said, what I was trying to say here is a bit different. It's not like you are falling back into comfort - it's that an otherwise sexual act is being classified as comfort. It would be like if a girl said, "yeah, they are just boobs, so what, grab them if you…

Best openers are situational and funny. (In a parking lot) "Hey, I lost my car do you have you haven't seen it anywhere have you?" - "Uh, what kind" - "It's an orange lamborghini murcielago, seen it anywhere?" - Let her be confused/suspicious then say you were kidding, but really can't find your car - ask her what she thinks of the whatever you just bought and go from there.

I have to agree with the men at MFA. You are much better off showing a girl that you have enough social awareness to know the proper dress for the event rather than intentionally looking out of place in hope it will get a few more girls to talk to you. If you are somewhere where the suit plays first and then go somewhere else after without getting changed, that's no big deal though.

On that note, would you recommend I try to get her to come up to my place for a few minutes before we head out? If so, what kind of excuse could I use for that? Not a must or something I personally do, but it is said to work if you want an extra edge.

If done right this is the best way there is to spin a critique from girls: Discuss with them what you should have done.

Some minor things I'd change if I were you: Next time have her park at your place. Just say something like, "I'm not sure where we will end up, but I'm walking to the first bar and will have to get back eventually so you might as well park here so you don't have to walk by yourself to your car late at night."

Yep. Something like OKCupid could really be a goldmine for you. Marriage is an indicator that you are a reliable guy and will be taken as a plus as long as you frame it properly (i.e. don't come off as a cheater). I'd either say you are single and looking for something casual and then brief the girl on the first date or actually put that you are taken and have a small blurb that shows you aren't a cheater and are in a open marriage.

In my experience the most important thing you can do here is the "I only have a minute" or "do you have a couple of seconds?" preamble.

Lesson Learned: Hammered girls will make out with anyone. Holding drinks isn't a great idea, but I don't think it's what hurt you here. I would guess that the girl was real drunk and was willing to entertain making out with just about anyone at the time. When I was in college we would have bets on who could make out with the most girls throughout the night - every time the three or four drunkest girls there made out with everyone who was in on the bet.

The Super Ego is a real motherfucker. It is always going to judge you, it always wants things to be perfect and for the most part it will only get in your way.

Upvoted, fair critique. I would still argue that taking a general pathos from Bond isn't the right way to do things since the appeal is written toward the audience rather than the fictitious interactions in the movie (the writers control the characters, so there is no need to influence them).

In college, people who drink heavily will get laid more since there is pretty much an implicit agreement that courting women in college consists of, talking to them, getting drunk with them then having sex with them. (It was always a bonus if I had a brief interaction with them sober, then "got to know them" at the bar/party.) I've found that as you leave college and go into the working young professio…

You better hope Elizabeth doesn't read /r/seduction. I play the same card with LMR. I've found that it works about 80% of the time and you end up giving up first date sex for regular sex later on. This was tough when the girl was my only potential go-to at the time, but once you have two or three it doesn't really matter and is well worth it. With the other 20% who give me LMR heavy on the 2nd time as well, I usually make one last ditch plow effort and if that doesn't work then I pull the plug (…

If you have no friends and don't converse during the day at all - I don't think you should even be concentrating on picking up girls. That's sort of a big leap. Slowly build. If you speak 3-4 words per day, tomorrow you should go for a 3 or 4 sentences but keep it simple (ask a classmate about a homework assignment or something). Then the next day ask two people simple questions, then start trying to shoot the shit a bit and improvise, ask these people how their weekend was, etc. Then once you f…

There is an interesting psychological duality that you're bringing up here. The fact of the matter is that the bulk of the seduction community will most likely tell you that faking it until you make it is going to give you your best chance with women while psychological journals and the bunch will mostly tell you that you need to confront what is going on in order to truly move past it. It is my feeling that both are wrong. If you look at the mirror and smile everyday you will actually become ha…

I went to a pretty big school with a college town - so I'm not sure if this will apply or not depending on what your school is like. When I first starting doing well with girls for whatever reason I was insecure about it with my college friends (basically because since I didn't usually bed smoke-shows people were just being curious and looking at us a lot or would say "nice catch, how did you pull this off?" or something similar). In short, it was because my frame control was too weak to not see…

This could be really great stuff, I would love to read the actual papers that this guy is publishing. I've been looking on google unsuccessfully, but I'll post them as a reply to this if I can find any. Also want to know if the participant (the guy who was being judged) knew what temperature cup they were holding or if all the cold cup people and hot cup people were present in homogenous groups. The first could manufacture the effect, while the second could augment it drastically.

Also, don't limit yourself to nightlife. You could meet some guy at a driving range, skiing, boating, whatever. What matters is puttin…

Welcome man. There is a ton of shit to learn, but most of it is redundant from one book to the next. I would start to read up (Magic Bullets is a good starter) and read seddit - eventually you will start to fit everything you learn into something that works great for you. Some guys look at it like they are playing a video game or something and are really formulaic while others are totally spontaneous and just use basic concepts. With approaches and learning you will find what fits you best. Just…

Seems like your not being needy here at all, which is great. A lot of guys would just want sex and escalate even if the girl had work early the next morning or tried to pull her home upon meeting her. Instead you just stayed confident, let her know that you wanted her but at the same time conveyed an image that you don't really need her. Sounds like you have real solid dating game, I would love to read another one on an initial pickup.

It sounds like you have having more of a problem getting high quality guys to talk to you rather than guys in general. If this is the case I would suggest going to places where really hot girls are since this is going to be where high quality men hang out. You seem like a pretty sweet, level headed girl and believe me - when you go around talking to psychotic girls who have major issues all night and find a cute one with her head on straight, it doesn't matter if you aren't the best looking one …

First off, you need to chill out. If you are carrying all of this around with you then whatever girl you do decide to eventually talk to is going to be freaked the fuck out. Secondly, I have always advocated getting over AA with a friend.

Generally you and your buddy are going to be a package deal unless you actually…

To your friend: "Hey man those two girls look cute, let's go talk to them." Then give it your best shot. Generally you and your buddy are going to be a package deal unless you actually progress and break into rapport. So if you fail, you fail together. Then fucking laugh about it after.

Or do a themed approach - work in as many body parts into the conversation as possible without t…

As someone who has had the same thing happen to him and just continued to let the girl sleep in his bed I recommend that you hang out with her again and be cool. Then when she thinks you two are going to go snuggle for an hour before going to sleep, say something along these lines: "Look, I think you are awesome, but I'm really not willing to put myself in this position anymore. If you have issues you have to figure out, I think you should do that before I'm comfortable with letting this continu…

I'm not all that by the book anymore, but for me investment literally meant getting a girl so spend ANYTHING on me (time, money, energy, thought, even frustration). Once you have someone on your mind you are not going to want to just let them go, all the above are used to simply do that. Pretty simple on such a broad level. Specifically it becomes much more complicated because you have to arrange for these things to happen with it seeming like you are putting minimal (if any) effort in. This is …

Anything that is good luck. Usually this means you will have a few stories to go with it which play as rapport builders later on and could even be used to disarm girls. If you make out with a girl then show her your totem and say something like, "I told you it was lucky." Then boom, you've framed you and her as something that is going to happen because of force beyond her control. A good totem could be handy from meet to close. Get one.

If you have solid game it doesn't matter how they frame you.

Since you have a boyfriend you would probably be perfect..." Then she goes over to him and he is totally confident and cool and collected and starts getting her to qualify for him after she basically went over there because I got her to feel bad.

I'm going to get lambasted for saying this, but I've found that it works well to get just a bit awkward when you ask for the number. If I do the whole, pull-my-phone-out-and-assume thing it's great because I get rejected much less - but I often get blown off when I call later on. Now when I go in for the number I get a bit shy and fumble a bit and by no means assume she will give it to me. Something as simple as "You seem like your a lot of fun, maybe we could do this again sometime (hang out ag…

If a girl is willing to give you more time than you are willing to give her, your gold my friend. When she invites you to something and you don't feel like going, be nice and give her an excuse. When you want some action and don't have anyone left to call - call her up, she will come. Only downside is that your going to have a lot of texts from girls blowing up your cell all the time. Well worth it.

Thinking in terms of "I failed that test, oh shit! I'm going to fail this class now!" or "I don't have a job yet and all my friends do what the fuck am I going to do?!" Is an inherently low self-esteem outlook on life. The point of seddit is to make your frame of mind better, which will in turn make your life better. Someone who is in the right frame will not worry about a bad test or not getting a job offer, they will just be confident that things will eventually go right and keep working accor…

To get a girl to qualify for you without even giving her the opportunity is pretty tough.

I'd like to take a shot at this. At root what matters to women is your social status. Back in the caveman/ape days in our evolution, social status was almost entirely dependent on your breeding capability. The better your genes, the higher your social status. Now because we don't function like that anymore, people can achieve a social status that is higher or lower than their genetic makeup (or in other words, genes have gone from yielding social status alone, to now being one of many factors th…

Hey David, Welcome. I've had a couple of different girls tell me that I'm difficult to approach but once they start talking to me I'm a lot of fun. The girls who I don't make a cold approach to are always the ones that work out better for me (if a girl is brought into our group by a friend or if she opens to me, for example). I almost always enjoy these conversations more and way more often develop a romantic relationship from this kind of meeting rather than a cold approach. When I just go in f…

Yep. I've always done much better talking about ideological stuff with women over the material. Where she was born, how much she likes her job, etc...what a bore. Find a particular ideological point of interest and engage her on it. Just don't make it complex or overtly political. For example, "Does it bother you that the republican and democratic party are basically just two facets of the a larger pro-business party that runs a tyranny over american politics?" is bad unless you get really lucky…

RSA has really amazing talks. Personally I prefer them over TED. They do those real cool animations sparingly though, so once you watch them all its going to be a month or so until they get a new one up, which is pretty annoying.

I thought this was absolutely brilliant. The key thing I took away from this is that layered language exists to keep the real meaning as individual knowledge rather than mutual knowledge. When it is made explicit that both people know what is going on, this creates resistance because it can be incongruous with either person's relationship type. The amount someone will let you get away with if your being indirect will always be greater than if you are direct because they have to be the one who ch…

Al sounds like the man. In my experience a good wing will always buy his bud and the girl he is talking to a shot. It's great, especially if she hadn't been introduced to this guy and he just shows up with a shot for you and her just because she is talking to you. Makes you look alpha as fuck. Make sure you have Al's back and buy him and his target a shot the next chance you get.

From my understanding of 60 - I think he would argue that the OP didn't actually fail the set. On both occasions it seems like he withdrew before the girls could reject him. This is a huge difference. 60 advocates to just keep pushing until you get blown out (or laid), not getting scared and stopping escalation.

One punch and you needed stitches? That kid might be a stalker, but he sure as hell can throw a punch. Did he drop your buddy in one shot as well or did your friend just dive for cover after he saw what he was up against?

I guess, but it isn't all that difficult to figure out who they are by context usually. It's not like I don't keep a contact list at all or anything - so if I get a text from someone who isn't listed that usually narrows the possibilities down to two or three people.

This man is right. This girl was waiting for you to make a move on the third date and wanted you to think of something to extend the 2nd.

Couldn't agree more. I'll also add that your given much more leeway in the actual content of what you say over the phone. I think this is because your creating a more visceral experience for her (she hears your voice, your laugh, feels intimacy, pictures your face, etc.) for the girl rather than the pure text reaction of read - respond. Your also giving the girl more of an opportunity to say something stupid (or think that she did) because she doesn't have time to calculate responses. This is gr…

Most likely this means your not comfortable with your own sexuality. To a lot of people having game just means starting a good conversation with a good looking girl. It might look nice at a party or a bar, but it will be tremendously frustrating in the long run.
