The book is free for two days.
Hey guys, before I start the article, I’m giving away my novel “A Thousand Tiny Failures” for a few days on Amazon. It’s about a young man who moves to Montreal to become a pickup artist. It’s full of debauchery and laughs. It’s more about the emotional journey rather than instruction of pickup. But people seem to love it. In reviews, some have called it “Better Than The Game.”
Grab a copy. All I ask for is an honest review when you're done. And I’m working on a sequel, so all your reviews will help me when I reach out to publishers and agents.
If you don’t own a Kindle there’s are free apps for phones and laptops on Amazon. If you’re not in the U.S. just search for the title in your countries Amazon, .de, .ca. etc.
And now, my ten years in The Game.
In 2006 I saw a documentary called “Charm School.” It followed a pickup artist as he instructed a group of lonely men in the art of seducing women. Being a lonely man, I was instantly fascinated by the possibilities that possessing such a skill would mean for my life. I did my very first approach the next day.
Two years later I started teaching other men, professionally, how to do the same. And have since been running my own company teaching pickup full time.
I’ve taught men as young as 18 and as old as 59 how to approach and seduce women. I’ve taught live infield bootcamps in five countries and a dozen cities, and have written two books. I made two infield videos that have over 16,000 views.
Oh yeah, I’ve had many, many fine women.
So after all these years I’ve seen patterns in my clients. The same mistakes and epiphanies over and over. Here are the ten biggest issues and truths that will help you guys find success in your journey.
Looks don’t matter. Of course, being tall and handsome is a massive advantage, but what doesn’t matter is not that you might be short, or bald, or fat, or have an accent. The power lies in what you do about it. Learn psychology, study self-improvement, and make the best of your situation. Change what you can, and ignore what you can’t. Stay positive, believe, and work hard. In that sense, your looks don’t matter.
Play the numbers. The biggest reason some guys excel, and others fail, is because they just don’t try often enough. On bootcamps I crack the whip. “Another, again, one more!” In daygame, the worst newbie can get a phone number at least once within ten attempts. But most guys won’t try ten times a month. You should be trying ten times a day.
Lack of improvisational skills. “I don’t know what to say” syndrome is an excuse. With all the limitless YouTube vids, ebooks, and online courses covering “What to say to girls” there is no excuse. The issue is men understand the theory, but they are uncomfortable with improvisation. Improv classes will work, but my best advice is to record your interactions on your phone, and listen to them. Don’t go in with a script, try to express your flirtations on the whim. Learn from your mistakes and develop creative wit.
Afraid to make mistakes. My novel is called “A Thousand Tiny Failures” because I had to fail thousands of times. Those mistakes, saying the wrong thing, pissing off a nearby boyfriend, creeping someone out, are part of the process of becoming a man. “Play to fail” is something I tell newbies. Let go of your need for control. We men tend to be control freaks. Especially all you software engineer, analytical types. Seduction is more art than science. Learn to improvise.
Get closer. In daygame, if you can’t reach your arm out and touch her, you are too far away. In a bar this is a given. But if you have the balls to approach direct in the day, but you stand four feet away from her, it creates a cognitive dissonance in the girl. “Why is he so bold to approach me, yet so timid?” Students are often afraid of coming off as too pushy, or aggressive, or creepy so try to play the nice guy, and not invade her space. If she stops, and listens and engages you, then you are not in her space…she is in yours.
Vocal Tonality. All newbies have the problem of upwards inflection, or “Up Talk.” The squeaky, high pitched question mark sound, “Oh really?” is a sure sign that you are a beta pretending to be alpha. Eliminate this beggar’s voice from your game.
Bad logistics. If you’re into game and you live ten miles away in the suburbs, or a small town, consider moving to a high density, downtown core for at least a year. More women, more options, and a close location for pulling will do wonders for your sex life.
Bad grooming and fashion. Looks may not matter, but wearing clean, interesting clothes and being well groomed can raise your looks from a 6 to a 7. Of course you should hit the gym and watch your diet, but most of my clients need to go shopping. Learn a little bit about fashion. If you know absolutely nothing, just buy one new outfit from Zara and you’ll be fine. But nose hair, my bitter enemy, or unibrows, dirty teeth, long fingernails, are all big turn offs for women. It’s so bad that sometimes I bring nail and nose clippers to day 1 of my bootcamps. Yeah, the things I do for my boys.
Nothing interesting in your brain. Guys that “Don’t know what to say” are usually left brain logic minded men. When I ask them “What are the last three books you read?” they usually list of either game books, psychology books, science, technical or self-help. They expose themselves to very little outside of these subjects. I read history, fiction, biography, philosophy, even graphic novels. My mind is full of interesting subjects. I also love music, art, movies and poetry. Read different sorts of books, absorb interesting films, and put things in your brain that will emerge in your conversations outside of your usual, left brain subjects.
Ego. Most guys have no concept of why they are the way they are. “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle is mandatory reading for all my students. I call it “Ego for dummies.” I could write a whole book on why this knowledge is essential for mastering seduction, so I’ll leave it up to you, the student, to explore this book and apply it’s knowledge in your own life. But the fact is, there is no “You.” Your identity is an illusion, and you are free to reinvent yourself with a little self-awareness and hard work.
Anyways, grab a copy of my book and leave a review when you’re done. I’m fighting with feminists who write one star reviews because they hate me. So all your reviews help keep my books flowing, and your support will inspire me to write more.
Thanks Seddit!
