2	Are the ideas/techniques in the Mystery Method in conflict with those in Models? Or is it possible to 'use' both? At the end of the day, all the methods converge to: do what works for you. Borrow principles and techniques from different methods. At the core, they're pushing the same ideas -- get yourself out there, be fun to be around, don't take things personally, handle logistics & keep things escalating, etc. What I would do is .. walk over to the group and say something honest like "Hey :) I am out making new friends. You guys look like you're having fun, how's your night going?" Canned lines sure can h…	/r/seduction	16/08/18 01:10 AM
2	What’s the difference between staring and maintaining eye contact? I agree that it's all about comfort, doing it from far away is creepy. It depends on context. For example, did you just ask a question, and are looking waiting for a response? Or are you just .. staring at the other person from across the room? Remember that most things in seduction contribute to a pie chart of overall effectiveness. So if your conversation is good, if the vibe is good, if you're intentionally building tension, if your facial expressions are warm, etc., then the eye contact will…	/r/seduction	13/06/18 10:18 PM
7	Is it weird to ask out a girl in my class who I've not spoken to the entire semester? I would do it for sure, just don't be so stiff about it. It would be helpful if you strike up conversation for a minute or two before suggesting coffee. Otherwise, you're really asking her to commit blindly without even knowing you or your vibe at all. That's a tall ask. Give her some charm, make her smile, build some rapport. Just a minute or two. Then ask :) The frame (whether you explicitly state it or not) should be "hey this is fun, let's keep rolling and grab a coffee." Good luck!	/r/seduction	22/04/16 08:35 AM
4	How do you subtly indicate interest/flirt Fuck plausible deniability. Put your guts on the line. Lead by being open and emotive. Smile, smirk, laugh with her. Make it fun, let her know you're hitting on her. Don't be creepy, but do be bold. If you fall flat on your face, you're doing it right. If she's into you, things will move quickly. If she's not into you, well great, you'll find that out sooner by being more open and direct. Keep it pushing. Toughen up your ego. Get your reps in. You have to be willing to get rejected hard if you'r…	/r/seduction	12/12/15 11:36 PM
2	The key principles I've taken from attraction study. This is great! The only point I would add is vulnerability. There's a magnetic power that comes from being radically honest with yourself and others. You end up attracting and repelling exactly the right people that you need / don't need in your life.	/r/seduction	13/03/15 06:29 AM
3	Approached the hottest girl at the gym today Nice work. Seriously, great balls, great execution. But don't stop here. Remember that the goal is to move things forward (get laid, build a relationship, whatever your goals are), or to get a fucking rejection and get over it. Don't pat yourself on the back for getting only halfway there. Now that you guys have rapport, chat with her again. Pop the question, ask her if she wants to hang out sometime outside of the gym. (See what you guys have in common, but here's some ideas - you could go rock…	/r/seduction	13/01/15 12:52 AM
21	NYT article: "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This" Thanks for sharing! This makes a lot of sense. One principle of seduction is vulnerability - leading the interaction in a positive direction by opening up & making the other person feel comfortable doing the same. I like this article because it's basically reaffirming a lot of PUA advice - namely that with reasonable effort, anyone can employ a strategy to build romance - but it's written from a nice normal female perspective.	/r/seduction	10/01/15 06:29 AM
3	I want to be a player The quote from Giacomo Casanova, "I do not conquer, I submit" becomes truer with each step of the journey. There is no conquer. This is not arm wrestling, this is not war. Her love cannot be taken. It must be given. You gain her love by giving love. Too often, novice game focuses on tricks and scripts and dogma. The true master flows like water in any situation. He guides the relationship towards meaningful, open, emotional, vulnerable moments. Moments he genuinely enjoys sharing with her, becau…	/r/seduction	24/08/14 04:05 AM
1	The True Guide To Text Game Yeah I agree. The caveat is important there. RULE #0 about pickup is you gotta have a life of fulfilling shit besides women ;)	/r/seduction	19/01/14 05:47 AM
37	The True Guide To Text Game This isn't really a guide to text game. All this piece says is to not use it. That's fine advice, and I do agree that if text game isn't going well then you probably fucked up in the previous interaction(s) with the girl. That being said, there certainly are ways of texting better. Here's my quick list, take it or leave it: Snapchat is your friend! Because they are photo-oriented you can send all sorts of little inside jokes, flirty shit, funny selfies, whatever. It's no big deal because they di…	/r/seduction	13/01/14 07:47 AM
2	An easy way to impress just about anybody. [Field Tested] Well said. It's a fool's game to try to look like you're cool by communicating to someone that their name isn't worth remembering. There are so many more positive ways to improve your value, in ways that actually benefit you and the people you let into your life.	/r/seduction	18/04/13 10:04 PM
5	What is a good first date location / activity and what advantages does it have over other places? Glad someone said drinks. As the saying goes: keep it simple, stupid. It's the same logic that says, "chill out, don't think overly hard about your opening line, try just saying 'hi'." There are other good first date ideas on the thread, but getting drinks is such a solid go-to. A lot of bars do the work for you of setting the mood- low lights, cool music, close seating. Plus meeting somewhere neutral (not your house, not hers) will feel comfortable for both of you. The conversation can easily g…	/r/seduction	11/02/13 05:53 PM
1	Here is what I have learned over the past 12 months. Okay, nothing is essential. Nothing on sarahlemmons's list is mandatory. Fuck it. There are dudes who don't dress well and get girls. There are dudes without loads of confidence that get girls. One of my friends doesn't really feel comfortable making strong eye contact or having chatty conversations, and he gets laid like a rug because he looks like a model and is fucking bright. But we're all trying to learn how to improve ourselves here. And in the scheme of things, the way you dress is pretty…	/r/seduction	08/03/12 07:28 AM
1	Here is what I have learned over the past 12 months. T shirts and polos should go somewhere above your crotch and below your belt. Button-downs, if you're trying not to look short, should be tucked in. If your shirt really fits, this is a sharp look. In general, if you're trying to look taller, you really want to stay away from baggy. Loose clothes make you look like a kid trying on dad's work clothes but he just doesn't quite fill them out.	/r/seduction	08/03/12 07:22 AM
10	Here is what I have learned over the past 12 months. Wear clothes that fit. Get some jeans that feel a little tighter than what you're currently wearing. Get the bottoms tailored so they end just at the top of your shoes. Get shirts that really fit - no wings, no tight shoulders, none of that. Be discerning. I own 12 shirts, not 30. Get a decent leather belt. Get some shoes that are at least a step up from sneakers. Something like Clarks. Get some nice sunglasses. Cool kids wear shades. Versatility is your a friend. A trim black jacket will look g…	/r/seduction	06/03/12 09:24 AM
7	I've listened to Tyler, David D, Mystery, etc.., but Sinn just rocks it. can someone (op?) please summarize?	/r/seduction	24/01/12 10:08 AM
1	Are you socially aware? some tumblrs like what OP is talking about: http://welldressedman.tumblr.com/ http://wizardkhalifard.tumblr.com/ http://todaystie.tumblr.com/ Get your swag up.	/r/seduction	27/12/11 02:57 AM
23	Are you socially aware? Yes. A big part of solid game is being part of the club of "people who get it." Being in the club means: You know how to talk to attractive women. Most guys don't. You are in the special elite class of guys who can actually keep it real with beautiful women. You know how to communicate and build relationships with these women. You hold knowledge and therefore power. If you go up to a woman who has just been hit on by an unimpressive guy, you can very quickly show that you are in the club. You we…	/r/seduction	26/12/11 06:54 PM
