Welcome to the Quick
Reference Guide to the 10
Most Common Technical
Glitches You Must Fix NOW!
Make sure your voice and energy levels are 10-15% above
the energy of the environment. This is true in the club, on
daygame, or in any other context.
Projection:
Voices are produced by air flowing over a modulating
permeable outlet. You have your lungs, which control the
volume and rate of the air, and your larynx, tongue, and lips,
which act as the outlet. When attempting to increase volume,
we are therefore focused solely on the lungs. You can monitor
how much air is going into your lungs by seeing how much
your abdomen protrudes when you breath in. This is your
diaphragm moving posterior, simultaneously increasing your
lung volume and compressing the contents of your abdomen.
Once you have a deep breath, speak as you breathe out. By
aligning your speech with your breathing, you will now start
to speak with your chest instead of speaking with your mouth
and pharynx. Your ability to take in air controls volume, and
your ability to speak as you breathe out produces the volume.
Downward tonality:
There are three ways people speak to one another. When
asking a question or speaking to an authority we speak with
an upward inflection at the end of a sentence. When speaking
to someone we know we speak with a neutral inflection.
When speaking to someone we feel confident around we
speak with a downward inflection. The last way of speaking
is what is most attractive to women. How do you hack this?
By consciously dropping the pitch of the last word in each
sentence. “Da da da da Duh” as opposed to “Da da da da dey”.
After a few sentences of consciously dropping the pitch, you
will begin to do it naturally.
Nervousness:
Look at the bridge of the persons nose right between their
eyes. This is indistinguishable to your partner from real eye
contact, but takes the pressure off of you to look away too
soon.
Squaring up:
Nothing is creepier than someone trying to talk to you from
behind your shoulder. And nothing is more unattractive
to a woman than a guy trying to talk to her while she’s not
facing him. Every approach should be started by squaring up.
This means your shoulders are facing and aligned with her
shoulders, your hips are facing and aligned with her hips. If
she’s at a bar, you can come next to her and talk to her this
way, but the conversation should very quickly lead to both of
you facing each other.
Why does this happen? Because she likes you and wants to
see if you maintain your frame and good mood in spite of any
obstacles. They want to see if you actually are the man whom
you present yourself to be, down to your core. Women value
emotionally stable confident men - they are more resourceful
and less prone to mental illness or fucked-up/bitch-ass
behavior). Many girls have told me they were attracted
enough to go home with me in part simply because I kept my
composure even when they (or others) tried to through me
off balance. Quick Disclaimer: A legitimate request for privacy
or for you to leave the interaction should be respected.
However, if the girl says something randomly antagonistic
or challenging in an otherwise friendly interaction, she’s
probably trying to test you. The order of operations for shit
tests are:
1. Ignore. Example: Girl: “Your arms are pretty dainty.
Maybe you should work out more.” You: just continue
your flow of conversation without acknowledging
2. If she says it again: Give her a stare like what she just said
was ridiculous, then immediately go back to what you
were saying, with no change in mood.
3. If the shit test is more extreme, misinterpreted it as her
complimenting you or being adorable. Example: Girl: “Are
you always this much of an asshole?” You: “Ahh, its ok. You
don’t need to feel insecure. I already like you...”
4. If she really persists in trying to call you out on something,
make an over exaggerated sarcastic apology: Example:
Girl: “I still can’t believe you aren’t drinking, why did you
even come to a bar then?” You: “Wow, you’re right. I see
the error of my ways now. People should only come to
social environments to get so drunk they pass out. Thank
you so much for you enlightening views on bar etiquette
and the human condition.”
The key to all of these is that you should not break your
mood, get upset, or sincerely apologize. Secondly, you
should go immediately back to what you were talking
about after you handle the shit test, and talk about it with
the same enthusiasm you had previously, as if the shit test
never happened. This gives her a way to go back to a normal
conversation, with no harm done.
Context: When and how you touch her should make sense
with the conversation and other social dynamics at play. It’s
a great idea to lift her up when you’re on the dance floor,
put your arm around her shoulders when you are showing
her photos, or have your arms around her hips when you
are having an intimate conversation. Each physical move
should be paired up with the most appropriate part of the
conversation, and should accent and highlight those parts as if
they were an extension of the words themselves.
Movement: Nothing is worse than a guy that puts his hand
on a women’s lower back and leaves it there all night. Each
move should be part of an overall dance. This means that
any escalation move is done only for a period of time, is
mixed in with de-escalation, and is also blended in with other
escalation moves. Simply put, you are
moving a lot while escalating, making
giving the escalation a shifting sands
quality rather than a static quality.
I’m Going Through a State Crash:
State crashes happen to everyone who is starting out in
the game. Although they all but disappear with training and
experience, as a beginner they can eat up a lot of time and
slow your progress tremendously.
