Stuart Smiley was Full of Shit

I want to talk about something that has been a part of the seduction community since Ross Jeffries recorded two little cassette tapes in someone’s garage back in ’97. Its something that is an evil, dirty, foul little beast which in my opinion has no business being ANYWHERE near the people who are actually trying to get good at this stuff. So what am I speaking of? Simple. I am speaking of:
Affirmations.
The reason I speak of this is because there is a topic on mASF that caught my eye. Here it is:

Date: Sunday, December 21, 2003 08:35 AMI have a few questions about affirmations.
Do you use them and do they work for you?
When do you say them and for how long?
I have noticed that they stop working if I stop using them so do I have to keep doing them constantly or will the changes ever become permanent?
Someone suggested recording the affirmations to cd or cassette. Anyone noticed if listening to them has the same effect as saying them?
Would subliminal recordings be more effective? Anyone here know how to make subliminals?
Here is something for you to test. Last night I tried a new affirmation and I got approached twice. That rarely ever happens so it must have been the affirmation.
Here is the affirmation:
“All women get horny when they see me”
You can find the whole thread at:

But the reason I bring this up is because I believe that AFFIRMATIONS DO NOT WORK!!!!!
Period. End of story.
The days of Stuart Smiley looking into the mirror chanting “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog gonnit, people like me!” are over. In fact, I’d argue they were never really here to begin with.
Affirmations are for insecure people who desperately want any way to validate themselves, to the point where they will start trying to brainwash themselves into believing their insecurities do not exist. This is bullshit. There is no way to get past such insecurities unless you face them honestly and work to find their root cause. Not until you do that will these insecurities go away.
How do I know this? Because I’ve been there. I’ve done the affirmations, and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt THEY DO NOT WORK.
I can remember back when I was a full fledged member of the Speed-Seduction cult when I was in college, I went ahead and bought the “Unstoppable Confidence” tapes, mainly due to the recommendation of Bishop (who ended up being a con man, go figure). I’d listen to those suckers every day. In the morning when I got up, on my walks to class, and even at night as I was falling asleep. I’d do the visualizations exactly as I was told.
Did it work? Well, no, not really. It didn’t make me feel any different. I was still insecure and scared, and no more confident than I was before. But I so WANTED them to work, that I convinced myself that they WERE working. So I’d go out and act all confident and full of power with my 50-foot tall self ready to crush anything that steped inside my circle of power that was created with my imaginary Green Lantern ring.
The thing is, it was all an illusion. Its okay to “fake it before you make it” in certain respects. But not when it comes to confidence. The thing about confidence is that no matter how well you fake it, something will happen to SHATTER that illusion for you, and it will affect all your actions because of that.
For instance, when I was doing the “Unstoppable Confidence” tapes in college, I’d start walking up to girls and sarging them, running the IC pattern, Blow-Job, Discovery Channel, etc. Most of the time it would go well, but occasionally I’d get a girl who’d say “Why are you talking to me?” “Who are you?” “Go away!” or some combination of the three. At that point, my “confidence” would be SHATTERED. I’d feel like a tool, a fake, a phoney. It ended up hurting me more than helping me BECAUSE I tried to cover up the real problem instead of facing it.
So to the guys out there wanting to do affirmations, I say DON’T DO IT! They may be a short-term fix for some, but long term they do not work! I would recommend that you take an honest look at yourself and try to determine what it is that makes you feel unconfidant, sad, unhappy, scared, whatever. Take a good hard look and figure out what’s causing it, and then FACE THAT. Do not hide from it.
The goal of all Pick-Up Artists or Seducers should be to become a single, congruent entity, and you cannot do that if you’re sweeping your problems under the rug. You gotta face them. Period.

Affirmations do work my friend. Scientifically proven. YOu’ve just been doing them wrong, switch the word I for the word you so you are telling your subcoincious trust me.
In actuallity, the real way to get affirmations to work, is to not do “Affirmations” but do “Afformations”. That basically means to put the affirmations in question form, and watch your results sky rocket.
Hey Tony,
Would you care to elaborate?
Maybe an example or two?
Stevo
No problem, check out Rex Sike’s website

Noah St.John’s website

In my personal experience when I was doing affirmations in the I or You form THEY SUCKED, they didn’t work, and in fact triggered the exact opposite and made me more scared and fearful. Again this is my personal experience everybody’s subconcious mind and experiences are different, some people may have deeper issues or whatever. Now, when I started to put the affrimations in question form I started to get amazing boosts in confidence and results.
For example, lets take some exapmples from Ross Jeffrie’s unstoppable confidence tapes:
1. You are aggresive, direct and powerful with the women you desire. (didn’t work for me)
1. Why am I always so aggresive direct and powerful with the women I desire? (did work for me)
2. You radiate a confidence, self-control, and charm that women find irresistably attractive.(again didn’t work for me)
2. What is it about me that always radiates a confidence , self control, and charm that women find irresistably attractive?( did work for me)
Notice that these questions presuppose that I already have these attributes that are stated, so what the unconcious mind does is find reasons to answer these questions no matter how logical or illogical it maybe. Thus, reinforcing the belief that you have these attributes and you are that way with the women you intercat with even if your not before normally. This takes advantage of the mind’s natural process of finding answers to whatever questions you ask it with sincerity,emotion, and repetition behind it.
When you start doing this Stevo, report your results back to ths blog. I want to know what happens.
Thanks for that TJ.
I’ll let you know how I get on.
S.
If I want a girl to get horny and want to have sex with me when ever I play a Subliminal CD while she is in a room what kind of affirmation should I put on the CD.
I was thinking something like “I am horny and want to have sex with “my name”
Will that work or do I need something beter.
I want it to be a powerful affirmation. something like “I am so horny I want to have sex with “My name”
I need a real powerful affirmation.
Thanks
So…which works better? Affirmations with “YOU” or affOrmations? Who knows if it’s more effective to listen to the affirmations or say them aloud?
Hi
This is my personal affirmation list. It’s mostly to help me be successful with women but also has a lot to do with having self-esteem, confidence and a healthy psychological state of being. Feel free to use it and share it with others. It took me a long time to build this list and I have found it extremely helpful.
Peace
