3 Flavors of Sexy Brooding, Smooth, and Talkative Vibes
3 Flavors of Sexy Brooding, Smooth, and Talkative Vibes
Brooding / sad
Smooth / charming
Talkative / dynamic
No one of these vibes (or airs, or auras, or whatever term you like) is
better than another, though each one appeals to different subsets
of women. Some are more popular at different times of life - most of
the teen male heartthrobs you'll see in books and movies are
brooding, for instance, while the majority of mature (30+) male sex
symbols hew more closely to the "smooth" way of doing things -
but each can be used successfully at any point in a guy's life; there
are plenty of talkative young guys who clean up with women, and
I've seen my fair share of brooding older guys who do well with the
vibe despite their lack of youth.
This article is broken down into three major sections: one on each of
the 3 flavors of vibe. So read on, and find out which kind of sexual
vibe is best suited to you - and, how you can learn to adapt each of
these vibes for your own use, where needed.
First, let's talk about the brooding vibe:
Because, just as many men fall victim to being white knights dead-
set on saving the tragic damsels in distress they meet, so too do
many women fall prey to the temptations of the tragic hero who is
himself in need of rescuing.
I brooded a lot when I was in high school and college, and high
school and college are probably the two biggest times in a man's life
for brooding. That's because these environments are the
environments brooding works best in: brooding is a social circle
vibe.
You can boil up the pros and cons of brooding by noting that the
brooding man gets women going nuts for him and chasing him
down hard... in the right environments, and with the right kinds of
women. But take him out of those environments, and put him in
more anonymous places where he's less likely to run into the same
women again and again, and he quickly ends up a fish out of water.
Being the brooder is all about tapping your inner Byron... the
brooder is a tortured soul, carrying the weight of the world on his
shoulders. But the sexiest brooding men are not soft, harmless, and
sensitive... rather, they are tormented, and dangerous - or so they
think, and so they'll tell you.
The women who fall hardest for the smooth man are the ones who
inhabit most deeply the worlds of status and prestige; the social
status his demeanor implies catches their attention, and makes
them wonder if they haven't at last found a man to equal them... or
surpass them.
An easy way of thinking about the smooth man is as a guy who sits
there, chin up, slight smile playing about his lips, amused at how all
those other people out there run about, scrambling to live their lives,
not knowing what he knows, and occasionally reaching down to
scoop up someone interesting and bring her into his life for a while.
He gets all the benefits of the seeming power and authority and
regalness this confers, but also suffers the drawbacks: he stays
removed emotionally, he's limited in how actively he can pursue
women, and he's attached at the hip to the Law of Least Effort, as
any crack in his frame can make his mountain look like a house of
cards, and send it tumbling down in pieces.
The smooth and sexy man has little difficulty sleeping with
women, though he must be extremely mindful of his attainability -
as he is the most removed and least attainable of the three kinds of
sexy. In fact, at the upper levels of smooth, you're likely to have a
number of women who will auto-reject you very quickly if you make
even the slightest of low attainability gestures toward them - mainly
because they are already closely monitoring you for any hint of
rejection.
Smooth takes some work to pull off, and it's virtually impossible to
get right as a novice. But, with time and a bit of elbow grease, it's a
powerful, versatile vibe to have, and one of the most consistent for
landing higher caliber lovers and friends.
The talkative man's women most often are quiet and submissive
women; although he will also attract crafty women who like both
security and to have some measure of control, and view him as a
strong guy who nevertheless keeps all his cards on the table, so
there's nothing to fear there. He's as well very attractive to women
with low energy personalities (female brooders) who are in need of
an injection of uplifting energeticness and motivation.
As with our other two vibes, it can't be stated enough: you must
also be sexy, and not just talkative. Men who are talkative but not
sexy can come off as funny to laugh at, but otherwise annoying
(think: Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey); meanwhile, men who are
talkative but sexy are an absolute ball (think: Robert Downey, Jr.).
If we were playing a fantasy game, and the brooding man was the
mage, with his "hang back and cast magic spells" approach, and the
smooth man was the rogue, with his "precision-targeted bow
attacks and sneaky stealth abilities", the talkative man would be the
warrior - "just walk up to the bloody thing and hit it."
The talkative man has little patience for finesse; his is the bulldozer
approach: just walk up to a girl and hit her with everything
you've got... she's either going to dig it, or she isn't. This makes
talkative the ideal vibe for mass approaching (which is why you'll
notice most of the advice in the pickup community is focused on
being very talkative), and also what makes it so effective with
quieter or less assertive women.
Talkative is the big gun with a big area of effect but less laser-
targeted precision; it's most effective when dealing with quantity
(lots of approaches; lots of different girls) and where subtlety is
most likely to be missed (quieter / less experienced / less social
women).
When you hear most people talk about being "in state", they're
talking about talkative state; they're talking about being able to go
out, speak a mile a minute, flow like crazy, and emit wave after wave
of overwhelming positivity. For people who aren't naturally talkative
types, this can be difficult to achieve; but in this case, it's all about
building up enough social momentum that talkative is a natural thing
to be.
Like smooth and sexy, the talkative and sexy man also doesn't
have much difficulty sleeping with women, although the women
he sleeps with and the women the smooth man sleeps with tend to
be different sorts of women: he gets the quieter girls who are more
willing to accept overt frame control, while the smooth man gets
the more dynamic girls who are more titillated by a man who can
control the frame without telling them he's controlling it (meanwhile,
the brooding man gets the women who want to feel like they're in
control of the frame, calling the shots and doing the mate selection
and chasing and escalation). However, he must be mindful that he is
constantly trying to move things forward with women, because he
has no other defense against women who are taking up his time
only because they enjoy bantering with him, dancing with him, or
basking in his energy.
Talkative is the natural vibe for most men starting off with
women to slip into, and it's the one that unlocks the widest
possible array of approach styles and opportunities (that is, all
of them, just about). What most newer guys get wrong, though, is
forgetting to incorporate that crucial element of sexiness into their
talkative styles - it's what's needed to move the talkative man from
being an enjoyable conversation partner into a sexually arousing
one.
You'll find that typically, most men's default means of meeting new
women correspond with their preferred vibes - my very talkative
friends are all huge fans of day game or big loud nightclubs, while
my smooth friends prefer lounges and dive bars, and my brooding
friends stick closely to their social circles, where women give them
chase.
But I'd advise you to cultivate all three slices of the pie for your own
self, so that you might switch from one into the other or the third
whenever it's called for. Many circumstances can accommodate any
vibe - once you're in a conversation with a girl already, for instance,
you can be brooding, smooth, or talkative, and you'll succeed based
on how well that vibe complements the girl's own vibe, though you
can sometimes succeed with a not-that-complementary vibe if your
fundamentals are sufficiently solid.
Yet, for granting yourself the broadest set of options - I'd say, don't
ignore any of these... they're all lots of fun.
Yours,
