Very true, Interpols post although thorough, did seem a bit complected. It reminded me of my RAFC days when I was looking at different skills and tried Speed Seduction (SS). SS seemed sound, I had studied neuro linguistic programming and understood the theory so I thought that SS would be perfect for me.
After reading tons of reports on it and memorizing tons of patterns and related situations I went out ready for bear. Let it not be said that I didn't try to use it at every given moment but guess what, I was so focused on the patterns, it came off as memorized because I wasn't flowing with the moment.
At that time I decided not to follow step by step approaches but to focus on understanding what works and not robotically reciting lines or following specific steps. Maybe I'm too old and stubborn to have someone tell me exactly what to do. Even in my AFC days I was my own man and chose to make my own mistakes and learn from those mistakes.
So I agree with Oxide, complicated things don't work too well for me. I enjoy the challenge of unpredictable situations, it makes me come off as more unique, confident and dynamic when I play situations off the cuff.
