Welcome men!

I’m happy to take part in this, the 3rd IAMA mPUA interview series.

A quick note on myself, I’ve worked with Real Social Dynamics (RSD) as an executive coach for 2 and a half years, and have taught in over 36 countries on 4 continents.

Most of my work is in NYC and Chicago, also frequenting Amsterdam, Germany, and Scandinavia, among other countries a few times a year.

I took an RSD bootcamp as a client back in 2007.

Prior to instructing, I have a Master’s degree in Microbiology from The University of Wisconsin, and came into the pickup industry after dating the same girl for 8 years. (16-24)

DEFINITELY check out my blog at www.BradBranson.com, I post about 3 new articles a week, and there are a lot of other like-minded people commenting, asking questions, and helping create an awesome resource for what I call lifestyle development.

Unlike some of the other companies in the PUA industry, in working for RSD, I have the advantage (or disadvantage I guess) of teaching weekend bootcamps EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND, which allows me to fine-tune my content and theories week-in and week-out.

Also, this is my only job, i.e. I don’t work all week and do pickup on the side, so I usually go out on average 5-6 nights a week.

That’s at least 1000 nights over the last 3 years, and a lot of stories.

I hope to impart some of my best knowledge that I gained through those adventures and seminars to you fine folks here at seddit…

Right…

Now…

(1) How do you react if the target realizes you are using PUA on her and comments on it?

Although RSD seems to set itself apart from the rest of the industry, taking on a more “natural” approach to social dynamics, I am definitely an equal opportunity taker when it comes to advice.

Some of the old skool techniques like being as comfortable or more comfortable than the girl, push-pull, and even qualification can work well in specific situations.

But, in focusing on a more "inner game" approach to pickup, you are less likely to get called out for using any sort of tactics.

If it does come up, the best response is to be unapologetic.

Girl: Is that your pickup line?

ME: Yeah, did it work?

Girl: Why are you talking to me?

ME: Because I think you are cute. -command and challenge tone of voice here to not sound needy.

This is the best technique to use if a girl is giving you a shit test, which is basically all that is happening when she is asking if you are running “game” on her.

One of the main truisms of social dynamics is, “it’s only a big deal if you make it one.”

As long as you own whatever you are doing, she will follow suit. People are conditioned through out life to follow the lead of the most decisive person.

Even things like going out solo.

Girl: Are you here by yourself?

ME: Yeah.

Girl: That’s weird.

ME: No it’s not. I felt like meeting some new friends tonight, my other friends were all lame, and I don’t need them to come out and have some fun.

Girl: thinks to herself “Wow, that’s cool. I could never do that.”

(2) What kind of girls are the hardest to get? Has it ever happened that you were very close, but then you messed up somehow?

The funny thing is that the main reason a guy might think some girls are harder than others is because HE creates the problem for himself!

If I hear one more time about how girls in (whatever hometown city you live in) are harder than in other cities, I’m going to scream.

Like I said in the intro, after 36 countries, you start to see a few patterns.

It’s EXACTLY THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

Sure, you are going to calibrate differently between how you talk to a Russian girl, an Asian girl, and a Southern Californian girl, but the core foundation of being centered, masculine polarity, having a strong frame, being high value, alpha, getting physical and LEADING applies to any girl, on any continent.

One reason a lot of guys take a bootcamp/program is that they can get the 6-7s, but they have a harder time consistently getting the 8-9s. (I’m the weird type that doesn’t really give out a 10 rating…)

What’s the difference?

First off, most of the reason guys can’t get the 9s is because they think they have to do something EXTRA to get with them.

They think, “I can get the 7s pretty easily, this one is hotter though, I gotta try HARDER.”

And that is exactly why they can’t get the 9s.

Treat the 9 like you treat the fattie, and that’s how you get her.

But there are also more technical reasons why the 8-9 range girls are tougher.

If you go out enough, the average looking girls in the 7 range become pretty easy.

Why?

It’s obvious when they like you.

They are going to be all over you, laughing at your jokes, probably escalating on YOU.

It’s because they aren’t used to a cool guy talking to them.

It’s a big deal.

The problem then is when you go up to the 9.

You open well, and she is happy.

But her thought process is more like, “Cool, I like this guy. This is how it should be.”

She just meets cool dudes more often, it’s not a big deal.

So you are less likely to get as many outwardly obvious positive indicators that she likes you.

This is why a lot of guys have problems with hotter girls.

They think that something is different. They think they are doing something wrong.

Hot girls don’t respond in the same way.

But that’s not because you are doing something wrong, they actually like you just as much.

It’s just not as big of a deal to them.

So you have to develop the self trust, self reliance, that you are doing the right thing.

As for me, have I lost any girls right at the end?

Nope.

Never.

Haha, just kidding. Losing at level 9 is the worst. The number of hot girls I’ve had rolling around in my bed, only to lose out because of LMR…

I’m bashing the keyboard as I write this in vein!!!

Not really that serious, but ya… I’ve lost a lot of girls.

(3) What was your favorite "Eureka!" moment where you discovered a new method and it came out to be one of the best so far?

Probably the biggest epiphany I’ve had over the past year or two was realizing how important your tone of voice is for building attraction.

I just wrote a 30 page e-book on this a few weeks back. Check it out on my blog for FREE.

I mean, I’ve heard this tonality, tone of voice, breaking rapport/trying rapport breakdown 3 years ago.

And I’ve even been teaching it for two years!

But it is just so fucking potent.

It INSTANTLY changes how a student interacts with women once he embraces the technique.

It's as close to anything related to a magic pill that I've found.

Again, I talk about it for over 30 pages in the free e-book, so just check it out on the site.

COMMAND & CHALLENGE!!!

(4) What do you wish you knew when you were 18?

I answered this question for one of my readers on bradbranson.com about not living life in reaction.

The main things I would tell myself then probably wouldn’t even be that related to pickup.

Not to get into my story too much, but when I was 18 I was about half way through an 8 year relationship, so meeting girls wasn’t that much of an issue for me.

But advice to my younger me about lifestyle, my career, my future focus would be to not worry and just have fun.

Enjoy college, pick a major you like so classes are easy, and party as much as you can.

You have decades of life ahead of you, no need to stress.

Although, knowing some of this pickup material would have been pretty sweet.

I probably wouldn’t have stayed with the same girlfriend for so long.

I probably wouldn’t have tried so hard to get my masters degree and start medical school because I was living by other people’s standards.

I probably would have hooked up with a lot more girls by now… Haha.

But I don’t regret any decision I’ve made.

Everything has brought me to this point, and my life is pretty fucking spectacular.

Can’t complain.
