Don't chase women, they'll chase you [...] they're like horses in a pastures sometimes, you walk into a pasture... and they'll come over and investigate... - Morgan Freeman

It also helps if you're Morgan Freeman.

A good point he made is that "If you're not drooling all over them, they're going to wonder why". Big difference between going out as a "hungry wolf" and going out content and enjoying yourself. One is attractive, the other, repulsive.

This is the wrong way to think. A lot of you guys are agreeing with this because honestly, its the easy way out. By waiting for women to talk to you, now you don't have to assume any risk of being blown out. You put yourself up on the pedestal for girls to reach for.

Problem is, this isn't gonna happen. Morgan Freeman can say this because he is Morgan Freeman. If you're viewing seddit, you're not in a situation where girls are clamoring for your phone number. You're just an average joe. Why should girls chase you all of a sudden, when it hasn't been happening the past however many years? Something like this isn't going to change the way that girls perceive you.

The only way to achieve something is by going out and getting it, and yes, this means getting embarrassed, failing, and straight out looking like a fool. Don't like it? Quit. There is no easy way out. Everybody at the top of their game like AFC Adam and James Marshall have failed again...and again...and again...hundreds of times. There are going to be times that you fail out of set. Get used to it. But at the end of it, if you decide to stick it out and give it 100%, its completely worth it.

My god Piers Morgan is a fucking obnoxious shit, isn't he? Freeman was trying to talk, trying to explain it to him, and he has to open his fat, stupid fucking mouth and interrupt him to yap some more. Christ...

This a great video. Thanks to OP for posting it. However it might get misinterpreted by some of the guys in the community, including myself. In the interest of this community, here's my thoughts on this.

For instances "you need to have respect for them". You can't force yourself to respected them when secretly you despise them. Not only is it unhealthy to you as a human to hate on others without a reason, but if you try to "fake it till you make it" you'll only end up making superficial remarks about her or insincere compliments. The girls/women will smell this, in the same way (perhaps even better) that we men do when somebody gives us a compliment that they don't really mean. Why this doesn't work is quite simple, if they don't really mean the things that they say, then they have a secret agenda so it's hard for you to trust that person. Who want to be with somebody they can't trust, right?

So if you have to force yourself to respect women, then you have to take a look at your inner game. There's something there that needs fixing. You need to understand that people only try to do what's best for them. So if you feel you got hurt in the past, try to understand that that person only tried to do what best for her, not necessarily hurt you. If a girl was rude to you in a bar, there's no reason to disrespect women in general, maybe that girl thought that you were only interested in having sex and nothing more. Nobody likes to be used that way right? My view on this is that a girl wants to be happy and she's probably looking for someone like me so there's no reason to not have respect for her as a human being. If the interaction goes wrong then there's a million reasons that it might have gone this way, and none of the have to do with me.

The last thing I want to point out is the fact that he said something like "go tell her that she's lovely... bla bla". This is subtle and may be overlooked since the community "loves" negs and other manipulative moves. If you can't tell some person that you like her, it's inner game yet again. A girl who will think less of you for expressing your true feelings towards her, is a girl that has some of her own issues and I wouldn't bother with her. Don't confuse this with telling her you love her or you can't imagine your live without her, before you are in an serious relationship. Make it something light like "I like how you are dressed tonight", "I like the way you smile", etc... . Mix this with the "Abundance mentality" and you are golden.

So as a conclusion: Fix your inner game, because the world is not as dark as you might think. Don't be afraid to express your true feelings towards a person, the ones that will think less of you don't matter, the ones who matter will only like you more. Give people a chance to get to know you and don't deprive them of the joy of meeting a persons who is confident in his actions and his view of the world = "Let them chase you!" = "Let them try to know you better". Sounds reasonable to me, what do you guys think?

Hormander · 2011-09-25T00:24:34+00:00

That' true. The more you chase, the more they flee. The chase you chase, the more they'll chase you.

But, we should be clear about "not chasing". To me, it means demonstrating/suggesting to the woman all the things needed so that she unconsciously wants to chase you.

In other words: confidence, dominance, high value, etc.

IneedHelpNowPlease · 2011-09-25T05:23:48+00:00

this is all well and good and I agree, but what about when they aren't chasing you at all? I mean, we aren't all rockstars and movies stars, but we still have needs damnit.

IneedHelpNowPlease · 2011-09-25T05:56:40+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I love Morgan Freeman and think he really is an amazing actor and have enjoyed many of his roles and movies, esp Unforgiven, but I cracked up when he said " I am not a real big skirt chaser." Lmao, just something in the way he says it.

Another thing: While I pretty much agree with everything he says in the video, there are some parts where I've seen the contrary true, esp the part about respect. I mean, if it's true, then why do so many girls seem to get with guys/assholes who seemingly have little to no respect for anyone,or are general douches?

2011-09-24T22:14:51+00:00

Losers always chase.

DaoOfTheGame · 2011-09-25T16:01:06+00:00

Jumping into the thread very late, but I have to say that the title I think is actually missing the important part of what Freeman is saying. Freeman says that he isn't saying that he's available, but that's exactly what's he's doing.

He does it in a different way. Rather than expressing intention and then sticking around and attempting to pick the girl up, he instead expresses intention and then goes on to whatever he wants to do. It undoubtedly helps that he's a famous actor, however the point remains. This is abundance mentality through and through. After a little light conversation "You look great in that dress" or "You have an awesome smile" then shortly after wrap things up and say "I'm going to go talk with my friends, drop by if you're in the mood" or something along those lines. You're telling her to chase, if she does then great, if she doesn't then it doesn't really matter. You were doing other things in any case. It's subtle, but definitely workable.

greencrack · 2011-09-24T20:26:57+00:00

Ya if your a badass actor. I have friends and a brother that are very very good looking but more than half of the chicks that approach them are not the type of chicks you want for anything other than a one night stand. Their desperate and disease ridden sloots. I wanna be the lion looking for prey. If a chick comes up to you from what I've seen they are not the cream of the crop.

Morgan Freeman is dating his step-granddaughter btw

WolfInTheField · 2011-09-25T17:25:59+00:00

Now that´s a tight frame. That´s a natural, kids.

2011-09-25T19:28:36+00:00

His voice is so warm and syrupy.

brivera9 · 2011-09-26T17:00:00+00:00

You know one thing Mr. Morgan says that strikes me is that we have to respect women. This is the most crucial part in looking for and dating women.I mean i'm only 18 but respect goes a long way. Here is what i mean if you respect someone then you essentially love someone. what i mean is if you put others over ones self you essentially respect that person for who they are. This is the key to dating and in it self is respect.Get this love and respect go hand in hand.
