I found an article about how to strike up conversations with people which is actually pretty good.  It sounds like whoever wrote this article has read my stuff on approaching and rapport – I’d be interested to know if that’s the case.  Anyway, the article is focused on how to start conversations with anyone – not just women – but the same rules apply.  Check out the highlights…

The Approach

When it comes to being social, the less analytical and formulaic you are the better. Try not to map out your every move and plan too much. Although we are talking about how to initiate conversation, these are really only tips. When it comes to the approach, though, there are some things you should keep in mind.

Different situations call for different approaches. Formal situations call for something more formal and relaxed ones should be relaxed.

At a work function, for instance, be a little formal and introduce yourself. People will want to know who you are and what you do right away. This isn’t to say you should only talk about work, but an introduction and handshake is appropriate.

If you’re at a bar then things are very different and you should be much more open to unstructured introductions. Personally, I don’t like the idea of walking directly to someone to talk to them. It’s too direct. I like the sense of randomness that comes with meeting new people.

However, if there is rapport already established, go for it. If not, take a wander, buy a drink and be aware of where people are. If there is someone you would like to talk to, make yourself available and not sit all night etc.

When someone is alone and looks bored, do them a favor and approach them. No matter how bad the conversation might get, they should at least appreciate the company and friendliness.

Briefly, Approaching Groups

When integrating with an established group conversation there is really one thing to know. That is to establish the ‘leader’ and introduce yourself to them. I mentioned that before, but here is how and why.

The Why is the leader of a group conversation is probably the more social and outgoing. They will more readily accept your introduction and then introduce you to the rest of the group. This hierarchy in a group conversation is much more prevalent in formal situations where one person is leading the conversation.

A group of friends out for the night is much more difficult to crack. This may even be another topic for discussion, but one thing I know that works is initiating conversation with a ’stray’. It sounds predatorial, but it works.

More often than not this occurs without intention, but if you do really want to get into a group of friends, your best bet is approaching one of them while they are away from the group and being invited into the group.

It is possible, like everything, to approach a group outright and join them. However, this is almost an art and requires another specific post.
How To Initiate Conversation

Topics Of Conversation

Other than confidence, the next thing people who have trouble initiating conversations lack is conversation! So here are a few tips to get the ball rolling.

1. Small talk sucks. It’s boring and a lot of people already begin to zone out when questions like, “What do you do?” or “What’s with this weather?” come up. Just skip it.
2. Everything is fair game. If you are in the company of someone and a thought strikes you, share it. “This drink is garbage! What are you drinking?” “Where did you get that outfit?”
3. Opinions matter. This is any easy way to hit the ground running in conversation. Everyone has one, and when you share yours, another will reveal itself. The great thing about this line of thought is that you are instantly learning about the other person and what they like, dislike etc.
4. Environment. The place you’re in is full of things to comment on. The DJ, band, fashions; start talking about what you see.
5. Current Events. Unless it’s something accessible or light-hearted, forget it. Don’t launch into your opinion on the war. If your city has recently put a ban on smoking inside venues, like mine has, ask what they think about it.
6. Speaking of smoking. If you are a smoker in such a city, you are in luck. Although there is the inconvenience of being ostracized outside to smoke, you are instantly thrust into a group of like-minded people. Consider this possibly the easiest forum for flirtation and new conversation.

So there’s some pretty good guidelines there.  If you’re having trouble talking people up, you may want to check this article out.

Insights Into Understanding Women – What They Say When Men Aren’t Around

Okay, I just found an article that has an awesome collection of quotes from two of my new favorite websites.  Apparently, someone out there had the genius idea of starting websites where people can post stuff they’ve overheard other people say.  (Brilliant, isn’t it?)  These sites are called OverheardinNewYork.com and OverheardEverywhere.com.  The REALLY interesting thing about these sites are the things women say when they’re talking to each other and don’t think anyone is listening.  Check out my favorites:

Insight 1: Regardless of how true something may be, they will still be shocked and appalled at us for thinking it.
Hot southern girl #1: So, before I came up here my mom is like, "Be very careful around those northern boys, they think all southern girls just love to cook and fuck."
Hot southern girl #2: Oh my gosh, are you serious? They think that? That’s so messed up!
Hot southern girl #1: I know!
Hot southern girl #2: But I really do love to cook… And fuck.
Hot southern girl #1: I know… Me too.
[Overheard in the Union Square Cafe, NYC]

Insight 2: Women may claim to love a guy with a sense of humor, but a huge bank account is still the biggest aphrodisiac.
Woman #1: It’s really small, you know, but the sex is wonderful.
Woman #2: You mean he’s rich?
Woman #1: Yeah. Exactly.
[Overheard at Union Square]

Insight 6: If they don’t look good, personality helps.
Girl #1: I’m funny.
Girl #2: No you’re not.
Girl #1: Yes I am. Everyone says I’m hilarious.
Girl #2: Of course they do. That’s because you aren’t pretty.
[Overheard at the Virgin store, NYC]

Insight 8: Women have a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything.
Drunk chick: So his penis ended up in my mouth. It just happens.
[Overheard at the Backroom Tavern, Knoxville, Tennessee]

Insight 13: Your grandmother was right… you can meet good girls in church.
Girl #1: My friend Chandra thinks she’s still a virgin because she’s only had anal sex.
Girl #2: How do you know this girl?
Girl #1: She goes to my church.
[Overheard at the New York Public Library, 40th & 5th]

Insight 18: Rationalization is a woman’s best friend.
Teen girl #1: Yeah, so John totally wants me to give him head even though I barely know him and we’ve never even hooked up.
Teen girl #2: That’s so weird.
Teen girl #1: I know! It’d be such a slutty thing to do. And I’ve never even given a blowjob before.
Teen girl #2: Yeah, totally.
Teen girl #1: Then again, I feel like giving head is something I should do before I turn 16.
Teen girl #2: Good point.
Teen girl #1: So I’m totally going to do it.
Teen girl #2: Awesome, I can give you tips!

Lap Dances Are Protected By The Constitution…

You know, occasionally the government does get SOMETHING right…

SALEM, Ore. — A Marion County judge said lap dances in Salem are protected by the free speech provisions of the Oregon Constitution.

Judge Albin Norblad’s ruling struck down a city ban Friday on "prohibited touching" — sexually exciting physical contact for pay.

The case involves 24-year-old Laurel Guillen, a dancer at a Salem club called Cheetah’s, who gave a lap dance to an undercover officer in 2005.

Salem residents hoping to limit Salem strip club activity called the ruling a setback. They said they hope to get a measure on the ballot to amend the state constitution to strengthen local government regulation of strip clubs.

Cheetah’s does not serve alcohol and is open to people 18 and older.

Salem City Attorney Randall Tosh declined comment but said the city would review the ordinance and consider an appeal.

I know that out here in LA, a major push for "air dances" or lap dances that must happen at least 6 feet away from the customer, were fought and overcome by the strip clubs.  I don’t know if they used the free speech defense, but it certainly seems to me that "sexually exciting physical contact" is a form of communication.  We can legally go to a store and pay for sexually exciting movies, so why not the contact?

Whoever this judge is – major props to him!

Robotic Wingman On American Inventor

So I found this video from the TV show American Inventor, you know – that show where people pitch their crazy ideas to a panel of judges and get berated for their trouble?  Sure, it’s not as fun to watch as American Idol, but they do have some interesting characters on there.

Anyway, one of the contestants had an idea for a "pocket wingman" to help you figure out which girls at the bar were interested in you.  It’s a good idea – in theory – but it just wouldn’t work.  Check out what the judges had to say…

Some Do’s And Don’ts For Socializing

I found a great article on a site called Lifehack that lists some Do’s and Don’ts of being social.  And wouldn’t you know it?  A lot of them are applicable to meeting women!  Check out the Do’s…

Initiate conversation – A lot of people, while out, wait for other people to talk to them. Becoming the person that initiates conversation and breaks the ice is, as they say, half the battle. When you feel more comfortable doing this, you’ll find yourself meeting more and more interesting people and gaining fruitful friendships.

It can be somewhat daunting at first because of fear of rejection or being shut down. This will almost never happen. At worst you’ll receive a closed yet polite response. Just remember, people are out to be social. You have small groups of people who are sticking to themselves, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to meet new people.

Smile – If you look like you’re unhappy you’ll be less approachable. This is an easy step to appearing open and social. When you initiate conversation, your smile should be mirrored and rapport will build from there.

Enjoy your company – When you look like you’re having fun you are instantly more likable. People want to know fun people, someone who enjoys company. While out with friends, have a good time. It may seem obvious, but many groups of people head out and do nothing but scan the room.

If you’re enjoying yourself, people will notice and want in on the action.

Acknowledge randoms – This can be as simple as a smile and a nod. When you make eye contact with a stranger, acknowledge it. If your smile is reciprocated, this will be an easy introduction. Later, initiate the conversation.

One of my favorite things to do while out is make friends with random people. How else do you make new friends? You’ll find the most fun and personally suitable people come from these random encounters.

Dress the part – I don’t find this the most important step, but it does make life a lot easier when you look like you belong somewhere. Now, I don’t mean losing any individuality. I mean don’t go out of your way to look unapproachable.

If you just came from work, for instance, loosen up. Unless it’s an after-work crowd you’ll find yourself out of place and more likely not to be approached. Personally, I don’t adhere to this rule very much, but it will make yourself that much approachable.

Then again, individuality goes a long way. Be yourself.

Listen – People enjoy talking about themselves. The worst, however, is when someone only waits for you to stop talking so they can begin again. Take a genuine interest in people. People are very interesting, so actively engage in a conversation. There is a lot to talk about in this world, small talk isn’t all that necessary – particularly because it can be painfully boring.

Converse, don’t rant – The best way to get good responses out of people is to ask good questions. Avoid ‘what do you do’ and ‘nice weather’ etc. Talk about something that interests you. People love explaining things they know, so when you don’t know what someone is talking about, ask them. Don’t pretend like you know, they will be more than happy to teach you.

Keep eye contact – Don’t scan the room while talking to someone. It is a clear indication you’re not interested in the conversation. If you really have no interest in what someone is saying, change the topic. Or excuse yourself. There’s a million reasons to end the encounter; not every conversation has to be meaningful.

Being able to look someone in the eyes is directly related to some recognizing honesty [see Fundamentals Of Eye Contact]

Keep open body language – Whether alone or not, avoid closing yourself off by crossing your arms etc. Remain open, remain active [see Closed Body Language]. People will generally not approach wallflowers. And in any case, what fun is there to be had just standing around?

Do stuff – It’s hard to talk about your day when you haven’t done anything. Don’t think that you don’t need to do any work in a conversation. Try to engage the other person and be interesting. Call on another time you were at this particular venue. Did you read something interesting today? Mention it and ask opinions. Everyone’s got them.

All excellent suggestions.  I recommend you guys check out the full article.

The Boys Project

So I found this website called "The Boys Project," (no, it’s not some gay porn site for all you sick-os out there.) and it’s a website that appears to be dedicated to helping young boys develop into successful men by getting more boys to focus on schoolwork and higher education.  One of the interesting things about the site is that there is a page on it where they compare everything boys go through to 100 girls.  Check it out…

For every 100 girls that are conceived 115 boys are conceived.

For every 100 girls who graduate from high school 96 boys graduate

For every 100 girls diagnosed with emotional disturbance 324 boys are diagnosed with emotional disturbance

For every 100 girls diagnosed with a speech impairment 147 boys are similarly diagnosed.

For every 100 girls diagnosed with mental retardation 138 boys are diagnosed as mentally retarded.

For every 100 women enrolled in college there are 77 men enrolled.

For every 100 women living in college dormitories there are 87 men living in college dorms.

For every 100 American women who earn a bachelorГ­s degree from college 73 American men earn a bachelorГ­s degree.

For every 100 females ages 20 to 24 that commit suicide 624 males of the same age kill themselves.

For every 100 women ages 22 to 24 in correctional facilities there are 1448 men in correctional facilities.

For every 100 women living in military quarters there are 642 men living in military quarters.

I don’t know, I just find it interesting how statistically, men always seem to be more messed up that women.  When looking at this list, you can see that more men are born on average than women, yet we’re also more likely to not graduate from high school, not go to college, be more likely to have some type of disability, and way more likely to kill ourselves or end up in prison.

They also left out that for every 100 American women, there are 1.5 million American Men begging for sex!

Mystery “The Pick Up Artist” VH1 Show Update

Okay, so there’s a few more details about Mystery’s VH1 show circulating around.  It looks like the show is going to be called "The Pick Up Artist,"  And it’s premiering August 8th on VH1.  It looks like they have 8 or 9 episodes done.

The Pickup Artist will features our own Mystery (of course) as a seduction guru, and co-stars Venusian Arts Co-Founder Matador as well as master instructor J-Dog.

In the eight-part series, they do what Venusian Arts does best: transform a bunch of "nice guys with likable, quirky personalities who have trouble asking women out"…

So there you go, that stuff is confirmed.  We now have a name, premise, and co-stars.  =)  I’ve never met Matador, but I know J-Dog very well, and I’m excited to see him involved in this.  J-Dog is a great guy.  Though he used to be almost entirely Speed-Seduction based, so I guess he’s made the full transition to Mystery Method.

In the eight-part series, they do what Venusian Arts does best: transform a bunch of "nice guys with likable, quirky personalities who have trouble asking women out"…

So there you go, that stuff is confirmed.  We now have a name, premise, and co-stars.  =)  I’ve never met Matador, but I know J-Dog very well, and I’m excited to see him involved in this.  J-Dog is a great guy.  Though he used to be almost entirely Speed-Seduction based, so I guess he’s made the full transition to Mystery Method.

The Dark Juggler Method

One of Charisma Arts Senior Instructors, a guy named Dimitri, (well, I think that’s his name.  He seems to spell it with lots of 1s where there should be "i"s.) has posted a very interesting – yet shocking – way of picking up girls using Juggler’s method.

Italian Beach Bans Men!

Sorry, looks like there’s no boys allowed on this one…

Italy has opened its first women-only beach, away from the prying eyes and wandering hands of the country’s notoriously lascivious men.

The beach at the resort of Riccione, on the Adriatic coast, is also closed to children, with mothers encouraged to leave their offspring with their father or grandparents.

Signs at the entrance to Beach 134 say “No Men”. One sign depicts a macho-looking man in a bathing costume apparently ready with his next chat-up line. But he has a diagonal line across his torso, in a manner similar to signs saying “No Dogs”. Ironically, dogs are allowed on the “Pink Beach”.

“This is not a lesbian beach,” Fausto Ravaglia, the businessman behind the idea to ban men, said. “It is simply for women to be themselves.”

Cinzia Donati, 43, a housewife from Milan, agreed. “I’ve left my husband and son behind — and I feel I’ve arrived in paradise,” she said. The beach was “a really classy place, beautifully clean and well organised. It’s perfect for us women. We are so much better off on our own.”

You know, I can’t honestly say this is a bad thing, since the culture in Italy is such that men ARE quite relentless over there, so I can see the need for a private beach where women can go and not worry about being harassed or whatever.

But c’mon.  This IS discriminatory.   Here in the states, private golf clubs get flack for not allowing women to join, yet when men are excluded from something, it’s all "okay."  Jeesh.  Give me a break.
