include then isolate. my old strategy was to approach them as a group, establish rapport, then isolate and escalate after. trying to isolate right off that bat, especially in a tight knit group, given limited time and in a competitive environment is tough. ideally, this is where a friend or wing would come into play, but it definitely can be done solo.

It’s just a different phase of life. In my younger years “game” was what I wanted, but now it doesn’t hold the same appeal it does now. When you’re young, single, and living in the big city, of course game is fun. And no one’s going to judge for you living that lifestyle. But I feel like I passed that stage of life. I want to be in bed at 11 lol. “Variety” of women no longer interests me as much, because that lifestyle no longer has that appeal for me.

I met my wife at a club 8 years ago when I was in my more active “club phase”. The environment might be different, but people aren’t. The noise and environment does tend to favor a more physical approach than a conversational one, but that doesn’t discount the importance of the conversational aspect.

There’s a lot of people here that will tell you don’t waste your time with influencers. I’ll give a soft disagree. It’s true that some influencers are vain, arrogant, and full of themselves. But that’s true for “regular” people too. Don’t treat them like anything special, just treat them like another person.

Interesting concept, but I give a soft disagree. I think it places too much emphasis on the outcome and strategy of paying. I always pay (at least initially) because I consider it how to hold your frame. I am paying, not as a favor, or to win you over, or because I think it awards myself in your good graces, but because it’s just something to do. It’s both input and output independent. If I am the one doing the invitation, then I’ll pay. I lose nothing by doing so, and I need to gain nothing my …

people forget rule 0: have fun if you’re not enjoying yourself, what’s the point? it’s supposed to be fun. don’t take it so seriously. the levity of it all is where you find the enjoyment. too many in the seduction world turn it into a competition or a job. “i must do 100 approaches this mouth and end with 10 k-closes and 5 f-closes or i’ve failed”. like why stress yourself out so much?

One of my exes I met from the gym. We loosely acknowledged each other over the span of a few months, just because we always happened to be at the gym around the same time. Kinda just ended up being a coincidence, she was finishing up using the squat rack while I was going to use it next. I asked how many sets she had left, she said 2, so I figured I’d just warm up there until she was done. Since there was a bit of time, we started to chat a bit, talked about hobbies outside of the gym, etc. She …

I’ve never done the whole “afterparty” gimmick. If I hit it off with someone, I make it a point to establish one-on-one rapport, separate from the original place. If it’s a club, I just suggest we go someone after for a cocktail/coffee to wind down or a bite to eat. It also shifts the energy away from a club/party environment to something more intimate. Doesn’t need to be fancy, and don’t overthink it. Just something like, “Hey this club is great and all, but I can barely hear myself think, let …

Most of the time we split 50-50, though early on I paid for most of it. She has an “architectural history” page. Basically she goes to historic buildings across America, takes some pictures in front of it and of it, and then narrates its history and architectural influences/style.

right circles is key. part of it was coincidence - we both happened to be at the same club on the same night, and my group and her group happened to be at adjacent booths. and we hit it off because we were both the only mostly sober people in each of our groups and we were both in grad school for similar things. but to be honest, i didn’t even know she was an influencer when were first met.

It’s doable. I’m pretty average as far as things go & my fiancée is an influencer. The biggest trick is to not lean into treating them special. Everyone wants to simp over them. Be the one person who doesn’t. Date them like you would anyone else.

Honestly, nothing special. My fiancée is a low-tier influencer (~80k on insta). I met her at a club back in 2018. I was there for a friends birthday, she was there for one of her friends birthday, and over the night our crowds sort of intermixed. Neither of us are big drinkers, so we hit it off as the two (mostly) sober people at the club. We found out we had a lot of common interests. We were also both in grad school at the time (engineering for me, architecture for her), which led to a lot of …

As much as I hate the term “beta”, it seems kinda soft to go “oh no, I have to wait exactly 35 minutes to text back because she took 25 minutes, and some pick-up guru on TikTok said you should always be 10 minute later than her response and I need to seem unavailable so she doesn’t think I’m too interested.”

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the “player stage”, but I did a more targeted approach rather than just a volume game. I’d really only go to specific locations where women I would be interested in would be, then focus on only a select handful of approaches. Mentally, I found it hard to focus on too many women in one set. I know a lot of people think that volume is the way to go, but I’ve had much better luck doing in-depth conversations with women. Typically I’d target at least 20 minutes p…

Without getting too deep into the psychology behind it, I think you're coming at it from the wrong perspective. Why do you feel the need to be "kinky" and "spice things up"? Is that something you really want to do, or are you just doing it to impress a girl? Be you and don't worry about it. It's never worth becoming someone you're not or acting like someone else just to impress a woman.

Offer two, but let them pick the last one. Respond with, “The Italian place on Main is great, does a different day work better?” This puts the time on them to choose. Or “How about sushi Friday night? Know any good places?” The event and time are fixed, but you let them pick the place. Or “Let’s meet up Saturday night som…

Over the years, the ratio of “saltiness” continues to increase, because as more people join, the successful ones leave while the bitter people stay.

Take a dance class, and stick with it for at least 4 lessons. I have about -3 natural rhythm, so it took me longer than most to get a feel of it. But its definitely worth it. Dancing is inherently kino, and if you good at it, instantly separates you from the rest of the head-bobbing/side steppers. My personal favorite style of dance is bachata, because it translates pretty well into club dancing. Even though I'm 0% latino, I enjoy it the most out of all the dance styles. me dancing

Depends on how good they are. Most of the time if they are just the 'sway side-to-side' and shake your ass on a 4 count, about 1 song max, unless they have a good personality or are at the minimum entertaining. Girls who actually know how to dance, I'll try and at least get 3 songs in with them. The first to gauge their skill, the 2nd is to feel connection, and the 3rd is to really cut loose.

Depends on what kind of dancing you're trying to do. Club and hip-hip stuff, you're probably fine with bobbing to the beat. If you can't do anything with your hands, hold a drink in them. Any of the Latin dances (salsa, bachata, zouk, kizomba), unless you are Latino, you will probably need lessons.

Opinions are opinions, and what's Reddit without some disagreement? My take on an introverted alpha is person who doesn't need anyone else's approval. The phrase "still waters run deep" is his inner motto. He may be quiet, but when he speaks, people listen. His 1 sentence has more meaning than most people's paragraphs. An introverted alpha is most comfortable on his own, but can navigate any crowd, because his confidence is not dependent on the whims of those around him.

I pretty much agree. I like to approach dating like job hunting. I don't need to deceive or mind-game my future employer, because I know I'm the best man for the job, and if they don't see that, then I'll find another place that does. Manipulation can only last so long, I think, in both dating and a career. Eventually, you'll crack, and if the person underneath isn't the person you actually are. . . well, it was nice knowing ya.

It also applies the other way around. I know some people who are smooth as hell with the ladies, but can't seem to get a good job going. I bet if they applied the same mentality to job hunting, it would work out great for them. Really, this is a great mentality in pretty much every situation. . .
