That said, there’s one more thing that will help you immeasurably: stop reading articles at this site (and others). Over-analysis and useless conjecture aren’t going to help you get laid. Most of them are written by keyboard jockeys who don’t have a clue what they are talking about. Some of them are written as indirect sales-pitches for overpriced, ineffective commodities. In any case, just read this guide, the three articles above, and if you have questions or need clarification, send me an email. As I write later on, shouldn’t even need this guide, much less any of the rest of what is written at this site.
Introduction
I was hesitant to write this guide, because I felt that it fundamentally isn’t necessary. There’s a wealth of information out there, so why should I add to it, if it is already sufficient? The problem is, though, that much of the information about seduction is false, irrelevant, or unnecessary. It isn’t that there isn’t information for the serious student; it’s just that there isn’t enough right information. Even so, an intuitive person should be able to succeed without a guide, providing he knows that he can succeed through the following activities:
1. Listen to your friends: Your friends behave by different rules, and see slightly different limitations in their lives. They will do things that you would never consider doing, and you can learn a great deal of flexibility from them. One of the great fallacies of seduction is that there is one “right way”. While most of what you read from “seduction gurus” is simply falsehood engineered to sell books, it’s important to remember that you have a great deal of flexibility, if only because there are so many different kinds of women out there.
2. Listen to your libido: The little guy down there knows what he wants, and if you give him half a chance, he’ll do his best to get it for you. Sound familiar? That’s right, this is exactly why ‘jerks’ get the girls, while ‘nice guys’ who act like eunuchs don’t. Your own libido can inspire you to become aggressively sexual, clouding away your insecurities and inhibitions.
3. Listen to your own experience: What reason, exactly, do you have to do things differently than how you did them in the past when you had your greatest successes? None, and that’s why your own experience is your best guide. You know that the experiences you’ve had are factual, and you can learn from both your successes and failures to gain knowledge and skills that you simply can’t get anywhere else.
4. Go out and do it: One hour of real experience is easily worth a thousand hours of being hunched over at your computer desk reading articles from keyboard jockeys. Just go out and do it! There’s really nothing to be afraid of. However, as Tom Leykis said (at least once, though I wouldn’t be surprised if he says it often): “I know you won’t, because you’re a *****!” If you think that there’s something missing in your abilities, I present to you the guide to correcting that deficiency:
Philosophy
There are many misconceptions (called “stinking thinking”) that prevent men from realizing their potential with relationships. I will only touch on a few of them for now. There are also many philosophies that can help you. Knowing the difference can be the difference between satisfaction and frustration. While it’s not my intention to present a comprehensive list, this should be enough to prevent any major hang-ups.
Have a passion for life
Guys with hobbies, who are happy with how their life is, are desirable to women. Furthermore, it gives you something to talk about. Moreover, it builds confidence, as well as other traits you need.
Physical Attractiveness
One big hang-up that many guys have is the belief that they aren’t attractive enough for women. I’m not going to tell you that women are blind, or don’t care about looks, but I will tell you one thing I have learned about this subject. Some women will think that you aren’t handsome enough for them, but there’s absolutely no reason to think that these are the most attractive women that think this. In fact, it’s often the opposite.
Besides, the big thing about physical looks is generally grooming and dress. These show that you know how to take care of yourself. If you look like a slob, women will think that you don’t have what it takes to take care of yourself, so why should she think that you could take care of her?
Take Interaction As Far As It Will Go
There’s no point in having regrets about not going to the next step with a woman when you very well could have. That’s not to say that patience should be thrown out the window. By all means, there’s no need to have sex with that cute grocery store clerk the same day you go through her line. However, you should realize that often, women want you to go further than you already have. Take your time, but always have the next step in mind.
Make life work for you
Instead of suffering through a bad experience, make the best out of whatever situation you are in. Ask yourself, “How could I make this more fun?” Take control of your life. If a date stands you up, be creative and find something to do that makes it more enjoyable. As a man, it is your job in seduction to initiate everything with a woman. Don’t expect things to come to you. You must go after them, and there is no reason not to enjoy this fact.
Inner Game
Having a good philosophy doesn’t get you very far if you are paralyzed with fear at the prospect of talking to a woman. I’ll mention various attributes later on in the guide, but here are some thoughts that you should start with.
Confidence
You’ve read this before, but let’s go through it again. Confidence is the attribute you must cultivate. Without it, nothing else you have matters, because you won’t have the ability to bring out your other attributes. Cultivating your confidence is a gradual process, and requires certain techniques.
How many times have you qualified your successes (“well, I made out with her, but we didn’t go all the way, so it doesn’t count as a success”), and at the same time, dwelled on your failures (“I can’t believe I didn’t ask that girl out three years ago”)? Well, stop that. In fact, do the opposite.
Everything you do can be framed as a success on some level. Appreciate those successes.
Build your confidence on areas separate from that of relationships with women.
Realize that confidence is a sub-conscious attribute. You shouldn’t feel confident- you should merely be confident. There are ways of indirectly accessing the sub-conscious mind. Techniques such as affirmation and visualization are very useful in this regard.
Entire books have been written on this subject, and this is the one topic that I suggest you actually spend some money on. Psycho-Cybernetics, by Maxwell Maltz, is an especially insightful book in a field that is mostly filled with self-help garbage.
Assume the Best
Many people like to contemplate the details of reading women’s signals, and other such nonsense. Women are all different, just like men, and if you spend your energy analyzing every move she makes, you’re not going to be able to perform your own actions. The best strategy, in every situation, is to assume the best. Assume that she’s attracted. Assume that if she flakes out on your date, it was because her dog died, or some other reason separate from you. When you assume the best, you will act in a fashion that takes advantage of every opportunity you have. Assuming anything less simply limits your possibilities.
Have Access to “The Zone”
Although it’s often poorly defined, “the Zone” is a state of mind that features a complete lack of self-consciousness. In this state, a person’s energy is efficiently applied for whatever task he is set on. In order to access this state of complete confidence, you must have a goal in mind for your activity, but at the same time, you must not be attached to the outcome. This is tricky to do consciously, but it’s something to think about.
It is important to note, however, that it is not necessary to be in “the Zone” to succeed. If you limit yourself by refusing to step outside of your comfort zone, you will miss most of your opportunities.
Unlock Your Own Style
News flash: there isn’t a single style that is attractive to all women. Instead of worrying about that, learn how to express yourself in your own way. Develop your style, and tweak it if there’s something about it that repels women, but disregard anyone’s idea that you have to change yourself fundamentally to be attractive.
