"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

In the C-A-N-A-D-A-Eh!
I have read a lot of stuff about seduction, and self-improvement... since first coming to this site, and deciding that I am going to be the best mack that I can. Then I went and watched the movie 'the tao of steve', and have since read a couple books on Taoism (DOWism) (ie: Tao Te Ching - From Lao-tze, and The Tao of Pooh, but I forget who wrote that one). This has convinced me that there is no need to ever compete for a women.

"What the hell are you talking about?" - I can hear you saying right now, so I repeat. There is no need to ever compete for a women. The act of competing in the 'me against those guys trying to win Shirlene' sense, unless you are a Brad Pitt type, will backfire on you.

"How can you get the girl if your not willing to compete?" becomes the next logical question. For a newbie this concept may be difficult to grasp, and maybe even harder to fulfill, but you simply need to prove your sexual worth wherever you are. If your at a party, you prove your sexual worth, potentially, by being the boldest, loudest, having funnest guy in the place... yet, not the drunkest.

"How can I prove my sexual worth???" Simple, by being 'excellent'. Things that can count as being excellent are : having a Dominant personality, Great Conversation, Rapping (could be if your good), beatboxing would be another 'if your good' example (I am good at vocal percussion, and chicks seem to like it when I bust out a crazy drum riff), OR any sort of 'display' such as magic (I've learned more then a few tricks of my own). The list really is endless. All you need is to find the thing that you are good at.

"But, I'm not excellent at anything." - This is a possible answer, and was covered in the movie 'the tao of steve', so I will answer by quoting Dex, "If you arent excellent in anything, you've got a worse problem then picking up chicks." "You cant just go up to a woman and say 'Hey, I'm Steve. I like to smoke weed and sit on my ass. Wanna have sex?" That **** just won't cut it.

"What does this have to do with not having to compete to get this girl?"
Simple, it has everything to do with it... just as it has nothing to do with it. By proving your sexual worth, consistently, for example, in a room with a bunch of guys scrounging around trying to score with that one hottie. Although you do need to be in this womans proximity... while all these guys are trying to score with this woman, you are sitting there, having fun, demonstrating your worth and WORST OF ALL!!!! I will quote what the women WILL be thinking, if you are doing it right,

"WHY IS THIS GUY NOT HITTING ON ME???"

And this thought blows the woman away, she will start hitting on you, and the competition is no longer a competition, because no matter what all the other guys are competing for her... but her thoughts are on how she can compete to GET you.

To paraphrase... These guys are thinking about how they can get their d!nky stinky, you are sitting there thinking about how you can have fun... and the women will sense that, and she will want to have fun with you.

Now, here is the best part of this all... Let's just say that Brad Pitt DOES grab that honey out your arms. YOU won't care anymore, by then you are having soo much fun that you didn't even realize that the women left. You will quickly realize that the woman doesn't matter, that there are a few million other birds just sitting around waiting to get shagged. Simple as that.

Now, If I really wanted to bore you guys, I could start on a little seminar explaining how Seduction ties into Taoism, which ties into being a MAN, which ties into Aristotle, and many other great philosophers ideas... which although are about different topics really do all say the same things.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Nice post. About the rap part -- I think that ANY for of music would do, with the exception of dorky instruments like the violin, trombone, tuba, flute, etc. A guitar is the ultimate phallic symbol.

My point here is that if you're on a stage and the center of all attention, it doesn't matter WHAT type of music you play. It's not the type of music but rather how well you perform the music and how you CONTROL THE AUDIENCE. It is a form of power; that's why bietches get wet over musicians. I've seen people make azzes of themselves by trying to rap. And no, they weren't only white dudes. Even some brothas looked like dumb ****z when they couldn't rap.

I've found from years of experience that chicks HATE magic.

So I don't do it for them. I do it for me.

It's like almost any other hobby.

Do stuff because you like it. If you only do it to impress chicks, they'll find out, then you just risk looking desperate.

Do it for yourself; do it because you enjoy it. Then you can do it for other people.

I'm not an artist because it impresses chicks. I do it for myself. If girls happen to be impressed by it, great. If not, it's their loss.

Otherwise, this is a good post.

Once you are on the level where you are 'da sh!t", and know it, that you are a top-notch man who can provide a woman something(s) that no other man can provide; [It can be a singular trait or a mixture of traits]; competition will be no matter, thereby no need to worry. While I'm very smart, I'm not the smartest; I'm handsome, but not the most attractive; I'm nice, but not the nicest; I have a shaved head, but plenty of guys have shaved heads; I have tan skin, but so do many; I have money, but by far not the richest; I'm a great conversationalist, but many guys are smoother than I; I'm confident, but many guys are more alpha. However, put all those traits together and I have no competition. I am the overall package, the great guy.

So, point is, rather than competing with other guys, compete with yourself; make yourself into the best guy you can, and if you do, everything else will be 'butter'.
This has convinced me that there is no need to ever compete for a women.
True that.

I think when he talked about rapping and beatboxing he used those as examples because you can do them at a party. I'm a drummer, but I can't set up a drumkit and show people how I am with as much ease as I can just start beatboxing (which is one of the reasons I learned how to beatbox.)

I loved the movie too, but one part of it isn't quite as easy as it seems. That's the "why isn't this guy hitting on me" part. Mainly because that thought doesn't really enter a girl's mind.

If it does, she'll just think "oh, he's just shy with girls," or something similiar. It seems silly to think a girl's going to think to herself "This guy isn't hitting on me, that is SOOOO HOT!" Sorry, Steve, it doesn't work that way.

Really the part that's completely on the money is the "be excellent" part. If you're a really kickass guy and have lots of fun around a girl, she's GOING to give you her number when you ask. Easy as that.

As you'll learn as you read more Toaism, quit thinking so much.

- Exactly

the "why isn't this guy hitting on me" part. Mainly because that thought doesn't really enter a girl's mind.
- You explain that this thought does NOT enter a womans mind... well, if you are the life of the party and talking to EVERYONE, the women AND the men, even if it's only 1 woman, she WILL at the VERY LEAST notice that you are not shy with woman, but rather will be perceived in a better way, which, while you are being excellent in her presence, then follow the last step of 'being gone'... which could be; becoming more aloof, physically leaving, etc. If you did things 'right' the woman will follow, or if she simply was disinterested then you simply leave from having a good time at a party, as an example, and still don't lose out on anything.

I don't think women ever consciously think 'why isn't he hitting on me' because you are doing something excellent.

The main time they will think it is if you are seen talking and flirting with other women - ie social proof.

Then their competitiveness kicks in and they want to know what you have that those women want. I hav e seen this time and time again.

Do expand on that a bit. plz

I would also have to agree with Austin, that social proof is a more powerful way to get chick intially interested in you. But too much of it and you'll be labeled a sl*t or player, therefore being excellent is really good for creating a desire and most importantly your own peace of mind.

This whole competition thing gets to me also guys.

I can go into a bar and if it's full of a bunch of pretty boys hitting on the hotties, it can ruin my mood. I need to find ways to reframe it.

The competition gets the adrenaline flowing a bit, but I admit I get pissed seeing so many guys in there going after what I'm going for.

Now I can think in my mind that the majority of them are AFC's but that still doesn't stop the fact that in many bars the competition for the hotties is high. Even if a guy is an AFC if he is talking to the girl I want to pick up on, he is in the way.

So how do you deal with these feelings?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Act without acting and most importantly, be like the water for in the long run it errodes the rock(competition) which is solid and the water is not.....

Tao is the way of nature and being a Don Juan is basically the same thing on higher plane of thinking.

INDIFFERENCE brothers and fellow heathens.

And that is exactly wher i screwd up with a hb10 i introduced myself then tryed to not to talk to her so much and she just came to me. Flirting all the time touching me but then i got a little to clingy and she got bored i guess.
