Beginner daters, socializers, and seducers start here
Let's talk about a critical trend in the dating world.
I'd like to talk today about 'drive'. Drive to greatness in anything, be that seduction or anything else.
If you don't care about greatness or aren't seeking it in anything, the discussion in this article is moot to you. You don't need to be great to get girls. You can use the material on Girls Chase without needing to be some legendary seducer and still enjoy as much success as you want.
However, we also get guys coming here who want to talk about greatness; so let us talk about that.
I see this issue raised from time to time that asks whether focusing on women is a distraction. Learning to find, approach, talk to, flirt with, ask out, and bed women may be pulling a man off his grander purpose(s), goes the reservation.
There's some truth to this, of course; when you're very focused on women, you won't tend to be focused on whatever else you are doing.
However, there's another truth, which is this: the rate men succeed at seduction has a lot more in common with the rates they succeed at other passions in their lives than it 'takes away' from such things.
Because, you see, there are underlying factors that impact how well a man does and how far he goes in this art... and many of these underlying factors have a great deal of overlap with other areas of that man's interests.
Rather than seduction 'pushing them out', it's more the case that a man who is sufficiently driven will tend to excel in seduction alongside a few other areas of excellence too.
There's a recent post on our forum where a forum member claims seduction is dangerous for men because at some point in the seduction a man must make a big, risky move and "give up his power."
The member cites a few instances he says are examples of this:
The sexual inuendos, the sexual misinterpretations and sexual overload techniques, etc They all show intent and give the power away. For example
"You turn me on so much when you do that [whatever] or wear that [whatever]". You then inmidiately give her the chance to reject your intention and make you drop your social value if she responds something like: "Yes but Don't get any idea. It wont happen [and she walks away].
If there are friends or people around, they will think "You are such a Loser".
I mean, every time you escalate you are giving your power away.
Thus, men are confronted with a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, he says:
Hold your value and not get laids Or Risk Your value but You increase the chance to get a laid.
Pretty tough choice he's lain out for men, isn't it?
Either you're a valuable dude forced to go woman-less, or you're a potentially-devalued dude who gets women.
Yet, nevertheless, this thinking on how value works, and how other people assess yours, is deeply flawed.
It is, in fact, not how "other human evaluations of your value" work at all.
Hey guys, and welcome back.
Today I want to put the nail in the coffin on an old discussion that seems to re-occur on seduction forums, on the web, and in face-to-face discussions between men.
Sometimes when you're talking to a woman you've recently (or not so recently) met, people will interrupt you.
This isn't always unavoidable; there are things you can do to reduce how often it happens.
For one, often if you ignore people attempting to butt into your conversation, and your conversation partner does as well, the interrupter will begin to feel awkward, then leave. So, don't break circle.
For another, use some situational awareness: don't approach women someone's likely to interrupt you with during the first three minutes of conversation.
For a third, you can use a little group theory to get a woman's friends (if she's with friends) on your side.
These three things in concert will dramatically reduce the number of interruptions you'll deal with.
Nevertheless, no matter what you do, you are still going to encounter interruptions from time to time.
It is simply a part of socializing. Sometimes the people you're talking to have other people who want to talk to them too (and who won't be content to wait idly by until you've wrapped your conversation!).
How you deal with this, and how you recover, can make all the difference in the future of your interaction with a girl.
Rejection stings.
Guys would ask out a lot more girls if the fear of getting rejected by girls did not hold them back.
For those of us who've figured out approaching, of course, it's a good thing this fear holds so many guys back. Just think how much more challenging it'd be to get girls if every guy could fearlessly approach!
Yet what if you're a dating novice and girls keep rejecting you?
Well, if you're a learner, and you've embarked on bringing new women into your life, that fear of being rejected by girls is one of the hurdles you must overcome.
You overcome it in part by learning how to act when a girl rejects you.
You also overcome it in part by becoming more resilient to rejection itself.
However, you additionally must overcome it by learning the reasons why women reject men, and adjusting your approach to correct for them... or, if correction can't be made (as with our first reason below), then accepting it and steeling yourself against a little rejection as an unavoidable part of 'the game' (you didn't think it would be a total cakewalk, did you?).
So here it is, our top five (5) reasons girls reject guys... plus what things you can do about it.
I talked with a friend recently who mentioned being around a bunch of American girls after having been out of the country for a while. One of the girls obviously liked him. Then she started talking to other girls in ear-shot of him about all the guys she'd had sex with.
My friend found this a complete turnoff and lost all interest in the girl. He's no newbie; he's been with a lot of girls. He just does not like this kind of classless, crass behavior. Regardless, he knew this girl was most likely putting on this display to signal sexual availability to him.
I said yeah, I've had a bunch of girls who obviously liked that do that to me over the years... like you, I find it a turnoff. It is mostly American girls I've had do this to me too. Though come to think of it as I write this now I've had a few non-American girls who have done things like this also.
If you like classy girls, you are going to find the behavior above and many of the other behaviors we'll talk about below distasteful. Because what it is is, obviously, a lack of class; the girl has no more refined way to signal her receptiveness or availability to you, so goes for 'crassy' instead of 'classy'.
Yet if she's doing it in a situation where the other signs there are pointing to her being interested in you, then it is almost certainly a sign of interest.
So let's take a look at some of the various rude, crude, unclassy behaviors girls will engage in that are actually (much of the time) signs of interest / sexual availability signals.
Depending on your classiness preference, you may find these behaviors turnoffs... or they might be right up your alley.
In a previous article, I mentioned differentiating yourself with women who are used to being hit on all the time. A reader asked for more tips like this one might use to stand out with girls:
Hi chase but this concept of appearing different that in this case you do it through this technique for this type of woman how to do it in general and with different types of women? Or on women who are not like that you just have to build rapport, generate emotions and carry things forward?
It's a great question, because 'standing out' is a big part of what we do. If you can differentiate yourself from other guys... if you can stand out from the crowd and intrigue women... it makes the job of meeting and getting somewhere with girls much easier.
There are different ways a man can stand out, and guys will tend to focus on different ways to do it.
Which makes sense; if everyone tried standing out the same way, no one would actually stand out, right?
I'm going to give you the eight (8) most useful ways to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
Before we get to those ways to differentiate though, first we need to talk about standing out in general.
"20% of the men are doing 80% of the dating."
Such goes the conventional wisdom pumped out of the manosphere these days.
I have heard this statistic bandied about just about everywhere, including by guys in our own community.
It's ubiquitous.
However, I've never seen anyone actually work out the numbers on it.
What would a city look like if 20% of the men did 80% of the dating?
You need a fairly good grasp of the 80/20 principle (also called the Pareto principle, first identified in 1896) to really understand this.
I recently reread the book 80/20 Sales and Marketing, by Perry Marshal, a force behind the re-popularization of the concept in the mid-2010s.
First, I'm going to introduce you to how 80/20 works.
Then, we're going to put all the single people in a hypothetical city into 80/20, and we'll see what that looks like, and how closely it matches what we see in the modern sexual marketplace.
Hey guys, and welcome back!
After finishing up my post on how to get out of bad momentum, I promised you a few cheat sheets to help in the early game, as that’s usually the part of your game that will take the biggest hit when you are at low momentum.
It’s because the opening game is the phase that feels the most uncomfortable since you have to go up to a stranger and face potential rejection. When you have low momentum, your confidence is lower, making the process more emotionally painful.
Also, your vibe is a bit off when you have low momentum, making the opening phase harder.
If you are interested in the symptoms of low momentum, check out my post from a few weeks ago for detailed explanations.
I also wrote a post on how to “treat” low momentum. If you are experiencing low momentum, I highly recommend you check out that post.
This post expands on that. If you’ve read my earlier post on treating low momentum, you may remember that you should break down your game and fix every small detail until things start working again. You should also limit your game plan to the strict minimum, only adding to it if the current plan is not working or if you sense something is missing.
A slight exception applies to opening and hooking. You should put more effort and brainpower into working on these aspects of pick-up and seduction when you experience low momentum because they take the biggest hit.
This is why I made a post on pre-opening game. That information will work in synergy with this. To be clear, it is not a necessity to use pre-opening game, but it increases your odds of successfully opening and makes opening mentally easier.
The advice I will give here will mostly consist of tips on bettering your opening game — nothing overly fancy.
