"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I read the game by neil strauss a couple times, and I realized although I do keep up on printed material, i need to see things in action to really internalize it..

I'm just wondering if you guys have any audio / video clips youd like to share.

some sites you can use to upload are

video.google.com
www.youtube.com

www.yousendit.com

I know some of you must have materials stashed away, so i'd really appreciate it if everyone shared some of their stuff, I know it'd be highly benefical to me , as well as many others in the DJ community.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The dvd's that helped me the most were the Mystery Method set. I recommend getting them all, there's so many little things that make more sense upon viewing. Like Peacocking!!! At least get his Venusian Arts Handbook, that raises your game infinitely!

Here's a good one for those who not only need to get a visual on confidence in action, but how to take control of your life. Notice how his confidence just attracts people to him. Also notice the girl almost instantly mirrors his mood.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Question

I want to record my pickups and my Creative Muvo mp3 player didn't work so well in a loud bar. It overloaded the microphone, does anyone have any advice on that?

If I get a good way of recording, i will certainly be up for trading clips of pickup.

Out of the box
Get a lapel microphone.

Most good recorders have <mic> port for a microphone. Just go to the store and buy a little micrphone. Turn off the sensitive feature, or if that isn't an option provided buy an adaptor piece to lower the volume.

When you recode the recording make sure you set the volume to a higher level so the sound is congruent. I hate hearing recordings where it sounds like the person is a mile away or screaming into your ear.

Your mp3 player is probably set to(TOO?) sensitive. See if that works.

Best of luck. Any other questions don't hesitate, I don't mind doing the research...
