3	Where to put your hands, when standing? When you'e talking with people who are comfortable with you, try learning to stand with your hands on your hips in a relaxed fashion. This is a dominant stance.	/r/seduction	06/11/10 06:16 AM
2	If you could "mirror" one tv persona, who would that be? Wayne Brady.	/r/seduction	16/10/10 02:35 AM
1	Seddit, which are the features that increase the handsomeness of a guy? Relax. There was an article on here a little while ago relating stress levels to cortisol levels. They showed women two virtually identical-looking men, but unknown to them one had high stress levels and the other did not. Nearly all the women picked the man with the lower stress levels. This is currently my biggest stumbling block.	/r/seduction	10/10/10 04:53 PM
4	[FR] Simple Compliments in Passing Really Do Help Same goes for friendly conversation in stores. That cute barista will often be a lot more friendly and responsive when you bump into her on the street if she already remembers you as the guy that always smiles and tips.	/r/seduction	08/10/10 10:06 PM
3	How to go to the clubs alone (meet women, etc.) The Dos Equis guy says something to the effect of "It only takes one man to win over a woman." Social proof is a powerful tool. But it has its downsides. If you're not drinking there's a good chance you're driving. And don't forget that women can be shy too. If they see you with a bunch of friends they may feel like they've got to be accepted by them too. Flying solo means there's nothing holding you back, no one you've got to babysit or check in with, no friends to puke in your car on the drive…	/r/seduction	08/10/10 09:53 PM
1	Listen carefully to this song seddit, it provides an insightful look at mind of a female who's been seduced by an alpha gaze control I have heard this term a few times, but I can only find CogSci-related articles. Anything out there a little more practical?	/r/seduction	05/10/10 11:49 PM
18	She's scared that I'm a player, but I do like her! You know what the hilarious thing about situations like this is? Usually they're only interested in you BECAUSE you're a player, and as soon as you tell them that you're only interested in them, they lose interest.	/r/seduction	04/10/10 11:03 PM
5	When to keep a LJBF girl around? If she has something of value to offer you. Maybe she's a good networking connection. Maybe she can hook you up with free stuff or her cute friends. Maybe she loves to bake. But whatever you do, don't befriend her if your true intention is to try to get her to sleep with you,	/r/seduction	29/09/10 02:25 AM
2	You Have Not Seen Game Spent some time in eastern Europe, this is sad but true. But here's some good news for us (and potentially them): English is a popular language to learn over there. Most of my conversations were with women who overheard me speaking English and wanted to practice. And holy crap are Russian accents hot.	/r/seduction	25/09/10 03:39 AM
1	Technique for passing girls on the sidewalk? Ugh, could have used that advice two years ago. Live and learn.	/r/seduction	25/09/10 03:20 AM
32	80% of Pickup, Encapsulated You know, I hate the term PUA. In fact I hate all the terms and acronyms. I hate the word "seduction". Women want to have sex just as much as men do. They just go about getting it a different way. I haven't spent very long on this subreddit, but I will say this. It could do without all the pretense of "pickup" and "seduction" and a bunch of silly acronyms. Women are a part of every man's life, in one way or another. For many men one of the most important ways is as a potential mate. This used to…	/r/seduction	25/09/10 03:17 AM
1	Reddit, I'm just out of a LTR (~4 years) and I lost smoothness at PU. Well, you've got a great opener. You're fresh out of an LTR, girls love to talk about that stuff. Try to bring out natural competitiveness. If they start trying to come off as higher value then your ex they're more or less a sure thing. Other than that, just don't let on that you've lost that "smoothness". Believe me, they're not terribly likely to notice unless you say something. Don't go in there thinking, "Oh man, I lost all my smoothness and all I've got is advice from anonymous people on th…	/r/seduction	25/09/10 02:53 AM
2	How would you pick up a girl on a rec sports team? Really good post dude, for myself not even from a PUA standpoint but just relating to my own training and team in general. I tend to have some natural athletic ability and I train intensely but I've always tried to just let my talent be what it is. From a PUA standpoint, when trying to meet people on rec sports teams and the like the first step is saying hi. Introduce yourself early, don't try to impress, and be sure you get along well with the guys on your team as well. Remember, social proof i…	/r/seduction	24/09/10 04:55 PM
1	I think I put off a loser aura... I often say that "game" is nothing more than a series of self-fulfilling prophesies. You just blew my mind.	/r/seduction	23/09/10 05:22 PM
2	What's your best techniques to end self-defeating mental chatter? I don't mean to contradict you, but that sounds more like cognitive behavioral therapy. In my experience meditating is about letting all the little stories and statements your mind comes up with pass through without judgement or questioning. It's like taking a piss for your brain. Here's an analogy. Say you've been drinking a lot of vinegar (aka self-defeating thoughts). You're not feeling that great, you've got to take a piss, and your buddies call you wanting to go grab some beers. Do you hold…	/r/seduction	18/09/10 10:23 PM
9	FR: The most generous rejection I've ever gotten and why doing it right still makes her day. Not looking to get involved with anyone = not looking to get involved with you. Kudos though.	/r/seduction	18/09/10 12:13 AM
1	Tip: There are little to no formal social statuses. Exactly. I realized after my post that I forgot to point out one thing...it's lonely at the top. Why? Because you have to make the decisions, and decisions almost always leave some people unhappy. Be that guy if you can. Not everyone is management material, not everyone is a social leader. However, social leaders are usually seen as the alpha, and inversely people normally look to alphas as social leaders. Be careful what kind of situations you get yourself into. If you're just part of the group…	/r/seduction	17/09/10 03:26 PM
18	Tip: There are little to no formal social statuses. Being a leader (a 'king' as it were) is a more thankless and tiring job than people give it credit for, but just like a good company needs good management, social settings need a leader. Chances are your most popular friend is the one that's always corralling people to go out on the town or to some fun activity, and acts hurt if you don't come. He's always introducing new people to each other, and several of your friends probably owe their relationships to him Be that guy.	/r/seduction	17/09/10 02:23 AM
