That you and the girl on the same team working towards the same goal. It's not a battle where you try to convince her to do something against her will with mental trickery. You should just try to make the ride towards your common goal as smooth as possible. If your goals are too different: don't bother. Find someone else.

[–]publicenemyone 235 points236 points237 points 1 year ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Amen. I spent so many years thinking that seduction was about how to turn a no into a yes. When in actuality, it’s about evaluating/building connections with those who already like you along with just being more likable in general.

I never expected such a reasonable, legitimate line of thinking in here. I feel like half this sub is chodes that can't get laid asking questions on basic social skills and the other half is chodes that can't get laid pretending they can and trying to sell courses.

Yep. Something my much older sister told me when I was a teenager: Don’t think of women as “I’d be so lucky to get to sleep with her.”

Know that you are worth it too, and think about it more in terms of “She should feel just as lucky to have the pleasure of sleeping with me.”

As an introverted man of few words, I need to work on this. Any tips?

[–]Foreverseeking47 40 points41 points42 points 1 year ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I would ask myself if I am introverted because it is just who I am when I'm completely comfortable in my environment no matter what happens and who is there or if it's just a coping mechanism developed earlier in life to protect you for some reason.

It might not apply to you but I noticed that a lot of "introverted" people were actually just scared of social interactions and/or have poor social skills and/or they're actually just shy.

All that said, you need to offer some type of value for people you don't know at all to be intrigued by you. Most of the time, just standing there, unless you have some very quirky accessory or piece of clothing will not be enough to get people to pay attention.

Enjoy your time alone but understand that if you want to get better with women and people in general (if that applies to you), you have to get out there out of yoyr comfort zone.

[–]Boring_Donkey_5499 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

At the age of 18 I suddenly got panic attacks when I had to speak in front of people. And in a lot of other situations, but having to say something in front of the class was so difficult that I quit school.

Having had to accept that the panic attacks would not go away anymore, I went back to school, constantly forcing me out of the comfort zone.

Long story short, eventually I ended up in a study that took speeches very seriously. I didn't know that before, but I would still have done the course. I told myself that being afraid is okay, everyone is afraid of something, but being a coward was not allowed.

So, to my luck these speeches were often limited to a pretty short time like 7min. If you took significantly longer your marks would go down. The reason being in a company you usually have to convince others in a short and concise manner.

This 7min was my saviour. 7min, I thought, isn't even enough to die. So what should I be afraid of?!

And eventually I learned how to do it. Now I can also talk for an hour in front of people. I am still no natural that can smoothly include jokes and jump through hoops. But I can convey my thoughts in an acceptable way. Not especially good but not bad either.

Now, imagine how long my way was. From having to quit school due to being unable to speak to entertaining a whole room. If I was able to learn that you can learn how to be more extroverted as well. In a way it should be easier for you as you are healthy. On the other hand, my condition forced me to learn something that I might have avoided due to preferring my comfort zone. I can honestly say that I grew stronger due to the condition.

So, even something catastrophic as constant panic attacks had, in a weird way, a positive effect on my life. This is me coping, of course. I would much more preferred a healthy and normal life. But it is still true.

[–]FKaria 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Honestly, I don't agree with the advice of being talkative. If you can get a girl to talk herself I think is generally an easier way. So what I would do in your case is ask lots of interesting questions and then follow up on her answers. What you want is her to tell you of some exciting, scary, interesting moments of her life and relate to them. But let her do most of the talking and actually listen to what she's saying.

Set up a tone with it like Todd Valentin and ask to practice any specific areas of the game, say shit test. Run varies scenarios. Use paid version, free version is useless.

[–]ComprehensiveDate954 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

To add on to this - you should try going to sesame's ai voice call bot - since it's way more focused on maintaining an actual conversation (and it's really "good" at conversation so it's easy to get something out of it).
I think this will help more than a chatbot (unless you're trying to get better at texting)

Be interested in the person you are talking too. Genuinly interested. People like to talk more than listen. This will help you get comfortable, and the other party usually lets you get some words in too haha.

Get yourself put into social situations where you practice talking with people. It's a skill that you build. As you build that skill, you'll start to get more lucky.

The thing is,you'll start talking without thinking of what to say, and it will become automatic. Then you will see more of situations ypu are in and manage them better.

[–]Bmore2Tac2000 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Force yourself into those situations where you have to be social , it won’t be fun at first and might be a little anxiety inducing , but once you realize it’s not as terrifying as it seems and build your confidence it gets 10x easier . Find something that relaxes you enough to make it easier to talk some people its alcohol some people is other things . Start with groups of friends in social settings before trying to be independently social . You might run into a couple hiccups or get turned down , but after a couple successes you start to see the game for what it is . And remember , you don’t have to be extroverted to be social , but that just means you will have to put consciously put yourself in social situations to make up for that , just don’t burn yourself out .

[–]Love_JWZ 148 points149 points150 points 1 year ago (3 children) | Copy Link

How remaining balanced is everything. You get pushed all the time, by your desires, uncertainty, judgements that bruise your ego. These are moments one tends to lose balance, and either go frantic or silent.

Keep balance, and it'll be a walk in the park.

[–]Foreverseeking47 36 points37 points38 points 1 year ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Keep balance, stay relaxed and let go. Very abstracted advice but among the best nonetheless.

[–]Love_JWZ 16 points17 points18 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah it is exactly what I mean. Something happens, is being said, and then you'll see the girl wait for you to lose balance. Keep that balance while keeping that laser eye contact. Shows them you're for real.

[–]tynolie 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Can you expand on what you mean by frantic or silent?

[–]bruno-vr 112 points113 points114 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When you meet someone or go on a date, the goal is not to “impress her” or “win her over”, the goal is to see whether you’re “compatible or not”

Stop worrying about whether she likes you or not, jf she does she’ll let you know. If she doesn’t, why would you be with someone not really into you?

(If you have to ask yourself whether she likes you or not, chances are she doesn’t)

[–]Rhino3750ss 103 points104 points105 points 1 year ago (9 children) | Copy Link

My eureka moment came when I decided to completely stop trying one night. I just wanted to go to the bar, get a drink and work on my laptop, I wasn't there to meet people.

The girl a few stools away from me brutally rejected 3 men within 20 minutes that cold approached her while she was reading her kindle at the bar. I eventually got up to use the restroom and I had to walk within a couple feet of her so I acknowledged her with a deadpan "sup" and her eyes light up and she introduces herself for no reason and I tell her in a semi condescending way "you were absolutely brutal to those dudes, remind me not to ask you out"...because I was legit not there to meet anyone so I had zero regard for the outcome, I said what I observed.

She then gets closer and says to me "You don't have to ask, I'll just go out with you". We hooked up for a few months. Some years later I asked her how that even happened and she claimed she rarely felt that safe with a guy. Then I start digging deep and doing my homework to figure out what I did right. It was the outcome independence, I gave her a deadpan "sup" when every other guy shifted their emotions when approaching her, and I followed up by saying a true observation that disqualified her. I behaved in a preselected manner completely by accident, and now I know that girls feel safer the more preselected they sense the man is.

[–]J1mmy_white 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (7 children) | Copy Link

How u guys have any feeling for a girl that sits there and seeks attention and wants to choose her best chance? I feel disgusted by her behavior. A woman must be classy to attract me.

[–]Rhino3750ss 34 points35 points36 points 1 year ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I was disgusted by her behavior, which is very likely why she slept with me, women do not operate on logic. I wouldn't have feelings for someone like that which is exactly why she kept coming back.

BTW don't fall for the classy act, those girls are the real masters of deception. They win your heart easier so they can fuck it up even worse. They are just better at covering their tracks and practicing discretion, they get ran through more than the unclassy modern type.

[–]Internal_Holiday_552 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child) | Copy Link

isn't covering tracks and practicing discretion operating on logic?

You don't sound like you like women very much, maybe you should try dating men instead.

[–]Rhino3750ss 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It sounds logical but still emotional motive.

I don't like most women. I really like some including my girlfriend. I don't over invest in any woman regardless if I like or dislike them. Even my girl can just decide to leave one day if she sees an opportunity to "upgrade", and I won't let it destroy me.

[–]J1mmy_white 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]ironcloudordeal 73 points74 points75 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Exactly. All my relationships happened only because the girl reciprocated well and she was equally interested. The girls who weren't into me as much from the start barely crossed the talking stage. I've realized that it's always better to spend time and energy getting to know women who reciprocate.

[–]Electro525 46 points47 points48 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It’s true. If they want to text you back they will. If they want to meet up with you they will. People make time for the things they care about and want to do.

Idk about that one. For example, I want to do many things at the same time, but can only do one thing at the time, and there is also uncertainty involved.

Wanting something doesn't mean I would.

[–]Mr_Dixon1991 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This. Whether it be responding to texts... reciprocating touch... making plans work... The more they're into you, the easier things are. Once you realize this, you can gauge interest and decide whether she's worth the effort.

[+]TuneSoft7119 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]GrowCanadian 98 points99 points100 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When I stopped chasing and flipped it to “how would this girl fit into my life and interests.” It filters out a lot of garbage and you get much more compatible girls.

I started friend zoning a lot more girls after this flip and it drastically improved my game. Ask those friend zoned girls to go out and have fun one night. Showing up to an event with a cute girl, even if she’s a friend, shows preselection and boosts your attraction to other girls. Girls also typically have girlfriends that they can introduce you to. That’s how I met the amazing girl I’m seeing now.

[–]RosieArl 24 points25 points26 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Acting cool < having fun.

Life is already too serious, too bleak, too heavy. Let conversations and interactions be about relaxing, lightness, laughing, and having a moment of connection! With ABSOLUTELY NO EXPECTATION from the other person.

Be the kind of person you wish approached you. And be totally okay with 99% of people just being "practice" till you find your people.

I decided that I would not pursue anyone who didn't match my vibe. If I'm doing the leg work of being open, asking, engaging... then anyone that doesn't match it is just not for me, but practice for me to act the way I feel most fun to me.

[–]Pinhead-Larry27 67 points68 points69 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Women like to have sex too, they just don’t want to be used. It’s pretty simple, women have sexual desires but are so used to men trying to manipulate them to put out. The best advice I can give to anyone is to be honest and respectful. When I learned this I had slept with 6 different women. I started saying to every woman I met “I’m just looking for some fun, if that’s cool with you great and if not that’s totally cool too. We can still be friends if you’re interested”. This is obviously after flirting a bit and gauging interest, usually used early on in tinder/bumble convos. Anyways in about 6 months time I went from 6 to 24 different women I had slept with.

Be respectful (not a push over) and you’ll get laid so easily.

In less than 100 years from now you'll be underground. Your flesh will have been decomposed from your rotting corpse and you will be nothing but bones and regrets for all the shots you didn't take.

Life is too short to overthink it. It's too short to waste time fearing rejection or feeling rejection. Just go have fun.

[–]dogstarfugitive 50 points51 points52 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Be memorable. Say what comes to mind. Outcome independence. Walk away for a bit and talk to other people guys and girls. Let them wonder why u left and if you'll come back. Females are emotional creatures who live in the moment. Female jealousy is real and immediate, use it to your advantage. Invite the girl u want back to your place with her friends if she's with friends, have liquor and weed ready. If she's by herself invite her back to your place.

It’s amazing how much more funny you are, how much uninterrupted eye contact you get, how effortless it makes literally all aspects of dating. If anyone has truly had a glowup, the difference can be jarring… but it’ll for sure motivate you to never let yourself slip.

[+]TuneSoft7119 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children) | Copy Link

how do you even get yourself to have a glow up like that? How perfect do you need to look for girls to even give you the time of day?

[+]Footspork 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Braces, LASIK, gym, skincare, good haircut, clothes that fit. We have many avenues for aesthetic improvement.

[+]TuneSoft7119 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I just wish I knew what I could do.

My dentist told me today that I have perfect teeth. I have perfect vision. My skin doesnt really get pimples, I have barbers do what they think would look good and I have good fitting clothes.

Maybe this is just semantics, but I think that number is way too high. And it's not universal. It's higher than that for men, who are visual creatures. It's much lower than that for women, who select for confidence over literal genetic looks all the time. That's not to say the gym doesn't help, but it's not 70%, and confidence informs your physical attraction more than the gym ever could.

[–]InFa-MoUs 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (9 children) | Copy Link

It’s more like 80%, the only time you get with someone you’re not physically attracted toto is when you are forced to be around them for a long period of time.

[+]nordik1 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I'll one-up that to 90%

If you can become an 8/10+, you'll be blown away at how receptive most girls are and how far looks get you

Any guy reading this should be putting a vast majority of his time into optimizing his look

[–]FurrowBeard 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Maximizing your potential looks is important, but it is not the #1 thing you should be prioritizing. Being hot as a model isn't going to get you anywhere if you're dumb as hell and a colossal pussy. You should be building inner game first and foremost and working on your looks on the side.

[+]nordik1 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Inner game doesn't build without having evidence that you're capable of getting results, and looks plays a massive role in that. You can practice all the mindset stuff you want but you can't convince yourself to be confident and strong mentally if you don't have any evidence that you're capable

It is the one of the few things fully in your control with this as well, so it should be maximized. Inner game and everything else becomes so much easier it's a joke

[–]FurrowBeard 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Sorry, isn't he trying to say that getting women is 70% being a physically attractive male? I dont think he's discussing what we look for in a woman.

Nearly every male female pair I see has an unattractive loser looking dude with a fuckin smoke show of a woman. and 1/2 the time she a crying because he's treating her like garbage, so no, I don't think that women are only going for the hot rich tall confident men in real life.

[–]Kaisern 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Men are not more visual creatures, women are. That’s why men’s marketing is function based, and women’s marketing is ”look at all the cute colors it comes in!”

We’re more complex than peacocks and value other traits that are conducive to survival and contributing to society?

Even in peacocks the color/pattern of their feathers is only attractive because it indicates ability to survive despite making themselves an easy target

I was making an example why its not just men that date for looks. Ofc there is more to it.

[–]FurrowBeard 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Women factor looks into the equation, but it's a far smaller piece of the puzzle for them than it is for men.

nope, looks are everything. You have to be a perfect model or girls will only see you as a friend

[–]RichHomieLon 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That the goal isn’t to see if she likes me, it’s to see if I like her. Also just to keep things chill and casual at the start instead of skipping to romance, and let things naturally progress and play out from there. That’s how I got my GF of almost 9 months

My biggest AHA was the value of momentum. I could go from feeling like it's an impossible situation to completely tenable and even achieve enough results that I'm happy with simply by starting, building momentum and keeping it going. By that I mean start small, talk with a family.member, talk with a friend, talk to someone unknown but neutral, then talk to an unnatractive woman, then to a woman mildly interested in, then to one I am interested in, then to more and more that I am interested in and realize I don't feel like the world is against me anymore and so on....

[+]nordik1 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

1) A lot of stuff online is too gamey. I got the most results from basic conversation with some physical escalation mixed in. Qualifiers and all this stuff...too much to remember in the moment and can make you come off weird

2) Realizing a lot of women aren't worth the time makes you genuinely not care and be more care free with everything, thus more attractive

[+]crondawg101 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I learned that women are not innately crazy.

The problem is that women are taught by society at large that choosing with whom and when they’d like to have sex is an action for which they should feel they have no self-respect.

This is like teaching that false is equal to true, up is down, black is white.

This makes it difficult for anything to make sense

That women are a mirror and they show you a reflection of who you are. If you’re weak timid and you will act in this way. If you are confident in life you will act in this way in front of her. There is soo much you can do outside of your interactions with women to become the right guy in-front of her when you do open

[–]RandoRambo1 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If you are struggling with dating as a man, it’s not because women’s notch count, women’s attitude, or “hookup culture”, it’s because you are unattractive. Most of your problems as a man really are your fault (a result of your behaviours and choices). And that is great because you also have to power to change, and to improve your lot in life. Biggest realization was my lowest points are my fault and I’m responsible for those as well as having the power to fix my life.

[–]Direct-Law5600 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Look at a girl directly in the eye and have the confidence to tell her how pretty you really think she is. Ask her if she’s single and then just ask her for her number and to make plans for lunch or dinner. It’s really not as hard as all these dudes make it out here.

It’s OK to let the woman chase you.

Sit back and do less. It makes you more attractive.

[–]CompassSwingTX 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When a woman is feeling feral and wanting it, you don’t have to do much. So much of a man’s success is timing/luck and just not fumbling. Be confident, playful, and play the odds often.

Everyone else is just as insecure as I am

If you disbelieve it, just try considering it for a bit and observing. Notice how often “alpha” dudes get insecure or flustered, try way too hard. Notice how easygoing guys tend to have success. This mindset shifts my perspective dramatically, gives me a centered/grounded vibe that attracts.

After I wen't from a boy to a man in mindset (most boys never become men, age has nothing to do with it), women were a byproduct. They wanted to be around me. They wanted my leadership and protectiveness. I no longer needed to work for attention.

My ex-wife was the breadwinner and had a nearly $400k salary. But she was extremely short fused with an awful temper and would snap over nearly anything. Very unpleasant to be around over time.

[–]val_br -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

A bit late to the game, but two things:
1. You can't increase your attractiveness but can decrease your repulsiveness. It's impossible to make more girls find you attractive, but you can reduce the number of girls that find you attractive but don't want to be with you for some other reason.
This means you need to drop things that people find unattractive: no tattoos, no facial hair, no weird clothing. As absurd as it sounds the more average you look are the more chances you get - not because you increase your pool of matches, but because fewer women from that pool think 'there's something wrong with this guy'.
2. Money trumps everything else, by a long shot. This sub likes to overemphasize 'game' to an absurd degree. You don't need game if you're rich, look rich or can offer experiences a rich man could offer (even if it's at a heavy discount to you).

[+]toheebdamilare -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You do not pursue -- you allow pursuit to unfold.

When you ask a woman if she has any friends who would enjoy your company, you do several things at once:

  1. You establish social proof – You communicate that you are already desirable. If she perceives you as valuable enough to introduce to a friend, it reinforces your status. Women trust the judgment of other women, and by positioning yourself as someone worthy of being introduced, you let attraction brew through reputation, not direct effort.
  2. You create intrigue and challenge – Instead of outright declaring your interest, you present a subtle test. If she is attracted to you, she may hesitate, considering herself as the best candidate rather than offering a friend. Now, she must justify why she shouldn’t take the opportunity herself. This stirs curiosity and competitive instinct.
  3. You remain in control – Asking directly puts you in a position of requesting approval, of hoping for acceptance. The Mysterious Emperor does not hope—he directs. By letting her suggest someone, you maintain the upper hand. Whether she offers a friend or expresses interest herself, the outcome is always in your favor.
  4. You avoid the mundane approach – The world is full of men chasing, pleading, proving. You are different. You craft a game of power and mystique, where attraction is cultivated, not forced. Women will not see you as just another suitor but as a rare opportunity they must secure before someone else does.
