"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hi, guys.
I'm new on the board. Founf this awesome forum via The Book Of Pook, which is quite famous in the Pick-Up community of Sweden.
I few weeks back, me and my awesome wingman/friend came up with a great method to learn how to always have something interesting/funny/fascinating to say. Here goes:
"Wouldn't it be awesome if..."
Yep, that's the name of the game. It's awesome to do when you're two. I.e. I point at something in the surroundings, like a brick wall, a traffic light, whatever. And he goes "Wouldn't it be ****ing awesome if..." and then he continous on the subject.
Rules:
  • Stay ON TOPIC, otherwise you'll come across as schizofrenic (is that a word in English, I hope so :D )
  • Speak with passion!

Tips:
  • Start of with facts, i.e. the traffic lights would have pictures. The brick wall would look like that.
  • Then talk about opnions, i.e. I think it would be awesome, cool, whatever positive attitude you want.
  • Last and foremost: Talk about feelings, i.e. because that would make me feel/I'd feel X if it was true/blablabla.

I hope you guys understand. Work on it and you'll never have a dull conversation again! Remember, speak with passion!

Much love from Sweden,

Yes, the "Book of Pook" is a landmark piece because it is so persuasive and by the time you're done, you're in a completely different mindset. Everything makes so much more sense. It literally changed my life.

Good tip BTW.

Ha, this is a great tip!

Reminded me of a conversation I had with a girl that started by "wouldn't it be cool if you could turn other things invisible?" We went through all the hilarious pranks you could play on people and ways to abuse the power.

Having a sincere interest to share with her who you are and to learn about who she is can in many cases be enough to rile the curiosity in yourself to ask questions, relate to her stories and provide plenty of discussion topics.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
