How do you think you might lose your lack of self-confidence? You've already forgotten that you can't approach women at all, so now you can use a "pickup line" -- asking directions.

| 1 | The downside of being absorbed by "pick up", and the need to find depth, not just lays: Falling Feels Like Flying On The Way DownSomehow I'm unsurprised at your revelation here, in addition to being unimpressed by his "credentials" on either front... nothing more to say on the topic for fear of invoking the wrath of certain deities of seddit and mythical ones elsewhere. Suffice to say that neither preaching nor teaching exempts the writer from the need to present evidence, especially in regard to his rather extraordinary claims. | /r/seduction | 23/08/13 05:59 AM |
| 1 | The downside of being absorbed by "pick up", and the need to find depth, not just lays: Falling Feels Like Flying On The Way DownFrom the article, regarding seduction: ...the overwhelming majority of guys who try this fail and are worse off with women afterward than when they started. That's a strong position to take without offering any evidence to support it. If nothing else, learning about women teaches (or at least, it can teach) social skills. That alone is invaluable in helping you live the rest of your life. The real question may be, "what are you doing with the rest of your life?" For too many people, the answer i… | /r/seduction | 23/08/13 12:14 AM |

I really need help, can't take it anymore.I wasn't going to bother amending my previous comment to mention this, but -- Definitely judo is more amenable to fighting in bars than jujtisu (meaning BJJ, however you choose to spell it). A stand-up style is better for dealing with multiple attackers and places where "rolling around with guys" is not a viable or desirable option (at least in martial-arts fantasyland, since no style is "efffective" at dealing with more than one person at a time).

You already know the answer to your own question.

Unless you're being melodramatic in a bid for attention, the Internet isn't the place for this type of talk. See a therapist. You need to change your behavior in a way that can be supervised over time. Otherwise, dumblederp's comment is a good place to start.

| 1 | Is lack of eye contact during conversation habitual or does the other person dislike you?It's odd that you repeatedly mention "people" rather than women. Men and women (assuming that you're straight, or at least in "hetero" mode for the sake of this question) have different norms for eye contact. Regarding women, If you've shown sexual intent, she'll use eye contact as a way of indicating her interest in you, and her comfort level. Otherwise (if she sees you as a "friend"), her eye contact will be more or less the same as she uses with anyone else of your perceived social/personal v… | /r/seduction | 22/08/13 04:25 AM |

| 2 | RSD Brad Branson: The 35 Laws of Subtle AttractionHi Jeff. I'm not expecting anything. Your choice of articles is up to you. I don't mind either way. It is useful to know who you're dealing with, though. The source of the knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. As far as who I read, I think that question answers itself, at least pertaining to this thread.

Your question, then, is "how can I not leave the house, but instead, witness other guys brag about their massive successes at editing out the footage of themselves making mistakes and getting rejected?" Huh? This both confuses and amazes me. | /r/seduction | 21/08/13 12:40 AM |

| 2 | RSD Brad Branson: The 35 Laws of Subtle AttractionMedia indoctrination has pretty well defined what a "HB10" woman basically looks like in most guys' minds. Otherwise, selling sex to the masses (i.e. Hollywood and the romance/dating/insecurity industries) wouldn't be a multibillion dollar business. The problem is that looks and personality have absolutely no connection to one another.

| 10 | The Death of the BoyfriendI just stumbled on another one of your blog entries a couple of days ago. Good stuff. As someone wrote in response to Steven Pinker's brilliant tweet ("Another anecdote-driven moral panic succumbs to data"), it may be that people are just lying about not hooking up more. That's one of the reasons why surveys and self-reporting generally is a flawed methodology. Example: -- Guy: "do you like Nice Guys?" -- Girl: "Yes!" We all know how true that one is. Or rather, isn't. I like to remind myself th… | /r/seduction | 20/08/13 04:55 PM |
| 2 | RSD Brad Branson: The 35 Laws of Subtle AttractionThese are decent "laws". Sort of obvious. David DeAngelo did it better about six years ago with his "77 Laws of Attraction", which is probably what "inspired" the RSD guy, here. And his "cheat codes" entry was an exercise in remedial copywriting. "YOU DESERVE A 10!" Affirmations? Seriously? That's an example of how the "self-amusement" concept conflicts with the "be a prize" concept. Seeking the imaginary validation of "10"'s puts attractive-looking women (since you don't know her until she open… | /r/seduction | 20/08/13 04:48 PM |

Once you get good at letting them go without pushing them away, they'll start coming back. And the ones that don't obviously weren't the ones for you, anyway. One of the toughest parts of relationships (not just romantic ones) is that at best, you only have 50% of the control.

| 2 | 21, waited a year to get into a relationship and got cheated on again. Is it wrong to go back to this?Hey B -- Also, I was wondering about this: I have the feeling that you might be trying to ask a completely different question, too. The question that I'm not hearing you ask is, "why do the women I want to have relationships with keep cheating on me?" As you've seen, becoming good at picking up new girls probably won't fix the problems that start once you're in a relationship. But that's a completely different question with a completely different kind of answer. | /r/seduction | 20/08/13 04:55 AM |
| 2 | 21, waited a year to get into a relationship and got cheated on again. Is it wrong to go back to this?I love the way I feel about myself (when picking up girls). I love the confidence boost (when picking up girls). Find other ways to get the good feelings and confidence boost. Your life will improve once you do. This will make you even more attractive to women, mainly because you're not looking for this feelings from them anymore. I love meeting new girls and women, I love the game.

When you get back to your apartment, remove any reminders of what you didn't like about yourself or your life, even if that means stripping it down to four bare walls.

| 11 | How to deal with "You guys should get together" comments...Hypothetically speaking, I would tell you to go for the spin-hug, high-five and body-rock out while demonstrating massive value and calibration by AMOGing whoever made the original comment. In reality, though, I'd wonder why you hadn't already spoken to the only other single person in the place, who also happens to be female (and hopefully at least somewhat attractive-looking).

Because aside from a half-assed attempt at shaming a guy for having an opinion that obviously differs from yours, I don't see the point.

| 5 | I recently re-read some of the old The Game, Mystery Method, type stuff...I'm not a gamer at all. The "scorecard" mentality doesn't apply to me. Basically, I see "game" and "seduction" as an amusing way to play with women (in an adult way) and communicate with them on a sexual level, whenever I happen to meet a woman who I find attractive. The rest, as mentioned above, is a numbers game and a marketing gimmick that is mostly a waste of time if you have anything more important to do with your life.

Actually, that's just one of their problems. The only reason that Tyler's followers miss the discrepancies in his approach is because he talks too fast and appeals to the "super man" falsehood that underpins so many people's self-image problems.

You're incredibly lonely because you feel like you need to have a girl in order to not feel lonely. This puts pressure on you to find "girls" to ask out.

| 1 | A great response to "Why are you looking at me like that?" When holding eye contact. [Intermediate Mid-game]You're out on a date with your HB and you haven't introduced that sexual vibe yet. Problem: you haven't introduced that sexual vibe yet. Probably too late if you waited so long that she's uncomfortable seeing you as a man rather than a potential "friend".
