Why Do Women Flake?
We’ve all been flaked on. Regardless of how good-looking, charismatic or genuinely interesting we may be... sometimes the inevitable “letdown text” comes in, leaving us high and dry. Sometimes it’s no biggie, but let's be honest: sometimes it's a total bummer! On average, however, men have to deal with it on a much more frequent basis than us women - so it would behoove you to prepare for this and, better yet, prevent it. Yes, I feel bad when I flake, but these days, especially in L.A. where I live, as women, it has become somewhat the norm. It sounds bad, but it’s becoming … [Read more...]
Meeting Women Through Tinder
For all of us who are feeling as though their online dating lives have been dim and dismal lately, we finally have something better, more simplified and modernized than more traditional sites like Match and eHarmony. There is no denying it: Tinder is the newest craze in the dating world. If you’re not familiar with tinder, you’re a nerd living under a rock and I’m not going to bother explaining what it is. Due to the platform, the strategy is slightly different but all the rules of dating and more specifically, online dating, still apply. Building Your Profile: My favorite part about … [Read more...]
Online Dating
Online dating is now the second most common way that people are getting together. The good news is, you have access to a ton of beautiful women by a click of your mouse. The bad news is, so does every other guy. It’s a very competitive market, and most guys who put up a profile and send a few messages do not get the response they were anticipating. Their messages go unread, women don’t respond, and very few visit their profile. A hot girl will receive on average 25-35 messages per day! This is in addition to her normal social life, which is jam-packed with social opportunities, … [Read more...]
8 Differences Between Winners and Losers
Through the years I have compiled a subconscious list of things that winners do and losers do: word choice, behavior, etc. A lot of this will be anecdotal evidence, but that's good enough for me. A client of ours said earlier, "I need a game plan" or something like that. 100% of my broke friends say things like that. "I think (but can't prove) I need a plan" is an excuse to not do anything. You get to feel okay about yourself masturbating and sitting on your lazy ass 24 hours a day getting nothing done cause you don't have a plan, cause boy oh boy once you have that magical plan you … [Read more...]
If She Could Only See Me for the Great Guy I Am
I know a lot of very wealthy, very successful, socially untrained men. Every single one of them is unhappy/feels like he's missing something important in life. In my experience, most men think they will be at a park one day and a conversation will magically happen with a gorgeous girl who is sweet, nice, educated and sees you for all your amazing non-shallow qualities. You will have true love and happiness forever. It does not work that way. This girl is attracted to confidence, leadership, and she will not see through to your amazing non-shallow qualities. Also, she has 400 guys hitting on … [Read more...]
Kill Your Approach Anxiety and Meet More Women
Who thinks it's a coincidence that the guys who improve the fastest with women are approaching the most? If you say, "Yeah, coincidence"... Immediate punch in face!! I've now been coaching guys in this field for a decade. Every dude out there complains about approach anxiety: "I don't know what to say," "I'll do it later." Excuse, excuse, excuse. I was introduced to PUA shortcuts via The Game in February of 2006. I finished the book in a day and went out that night to a bar in Mission Beach called the Beachcomber. It never even crossed my mind whether or not I was gonna approach. I … [Read more...]
A Surefire Way To Start A Conversation with a Woman
When you see a woman you want to approach, is your first thought almost always, “What do I say to her?” If so, this article is for you. To come up with the words for a great approach, I use a process I created called the The Play-by-Play (TM). It's very simple; all it is is a description of exactly what I did to come talk to her. Kind of like how a sports announcer would describe a play that just happened. Here are 4 examples: Girls on the bench with Pablo: I was with my friend Pablo when we saw two beautiful women seated on a bench. Pablo suggested we approach them, but I … [Read more...]
Why am I struggling with women?
If everyone likes you, chances are you're struggling with women. What if they don’t like me? What if they think I’m a jerk? What if I make them angry? What if they talk trash behind my back? “I had a realization today,” said Marty, one of my students. “What I realized is that to be successful and confident, not everyone is going to like me… And if I am pushing myself, I will most likely annoy and piss some people off because they may see me as a jerk, creepy or arrogant. But I can’t let that affect how I feel about myself.” Marty had this realization during a particular … [Read more...]
The Secret Ingredient for Lots of Success with Women
Back in the day, I was out with a small group of students at a new bar in west L.A. Prior to going out, we did a bunch of drills to help them get over their approach anxiety and have fun opening conversations. We were using some fairly edgy openers. But all of the guys in attendance had zero approach anxiety by the end of the night, and we all had a great time. How is it possible to say edgy things and deliver risky openers without worrying about what happens afterward? A conversation I had with one of my students who is a little older and less comfortable in bar environments really … [Read more...]
