										</div><p>For Newbies, It&#8217;s A Catch 22</p>
<p>This article is for guys who want to learn pickup but are too afraid to go into the field. If you&#8217;re already good at pickup, don&#8217;t bother with this one.</p>
<p>After teaching pickup for the last 5 years, I&#8217;ve seen my fair share of guys who read pickup tips and then don&#8217;t try any of it. It&#8217;s the paramount problem that prevents people from improving.</p>
<p>For some guys, there&#8217;s a vicious cycle going on.</p>
<p>They can&#8217;t get women because they don&#8217;t have a lot of balls.</p>
<p>The won&#8217;t get any balls until they go into the field.</p>
<p>They can&#8217;t go into the field because they&#8217;re too scared of what might happen.</p>
<p>So the process of learning can&#8217;t ever begin, because in order to learn pickup, you must spend many hours in the field.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a catch 22. You need the fear to go away so you can go in field, but the fear won&#8217;t go away until you go in field.</p>
<p>A lot of newbies are caught in this catch 22. They begin to feel that the field is an unattainable goal, and the only thing that might help their game is to read and study some more.</p>
<p>The bad news is that you can&#8217;t read and study your way into a girl&#8217;s pants. This isn&#8217;t grad school. Memorizing a bunch of theories won&#8217;t get you very far.</p>
<p>Furthermore, all of that reading moves many students backwards when it&#8217;s done with no field time (see The Forbidden Truth).</p>
<p>The solution to this issue is to make the field more attainable to newbies. In order to get to this goal, we&#8217;ll have to go against a few of the core pickup values temporarily.</p>
<p>So if you feel like you&#8217;re caught in this catch 22, I want you to suspend disbelief for a moment. This isn&#8217;t about finding a perfect 10 and cold approaching her and seducing her for a same night lay. You&#8217;ll have to work your way up to that. For now, it&#8217;s better to start with much smaller goals.</p>
<p>The first goal is to be able to function and be comfortable in a night life environment.</p>
<p>The second goal is to be able to have a conversation with someone in a night life environment.</p>
<p>The third goal is to be able to talk to a woman or group of women for a good 10 minutes without getting negative or nervous.</p>
<p>If you can do that, you&#8217;ve made a small step towards seducing the super hotties you&#8217;ve got your eye on. But first things first.</p>
<p>In order to make this extremely easy and attainable, I&#8217;d like to turn you on to some of the easiest places to socialize. If you&#8217;re advanced, or you already have normal social skills, you can skip the rest of this article. This is purely for the guys who are sitting home reading because they are too scared to go out and meet women.</p>
<p>Here are the 2 easiest settings to socialize in:</p>
<p><strong>1- BBW Parties</strong></p>
<p>What&#8217;s a BBW, you might ask? Well it&#8217;s a politically correct term for “fat chick.” BBW stands for “big beautiful woman.” There are organizations that throw weekly or month parties for BBWs and their gentleman admirers.</p>
<p>The rejection rate is very low at this kind of event. You don&#8217;t have to be good at pickup at all. You don&#8217;t have to use any lines or techniques, just show up and start talking off the top of your head and you&#8217;ll be fine.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying you have to date these women or have sex with them, but you can talk with them so you get used to being in the presence of a woman.</p>
<p>In many ways, they respond the same way a normal woman would respond. So it&#8217;s really good practice. If you can get good at gaming BBWs, it&#8217;s a small leap to being able to game average girls. Who knows, you might even feel some connection or spark with a woman, or make some good friends.</p>
<p>They have these parties all over the country. Just type your zip code and “BBW party” into Google and you&#8217;ll see what I mean. Here&#8217;s an example- www.clubbounce.net</p>
<p><strong>2- Goth Clubs</strong></p>
<p>The Goth scene is full of people who have trouble socializing and want to break out of this issue and build relationships with others like themselves. In some ways it&#8217;s inspirational. The Goths have turned social isolation into a virtue.</p>
<p>People in the goth scene are extremely friendly and accepting of others. They will talk to anyone, no matter how awkward they may be. Many Goths are overcoming social awkwardness themselves, and the goth scene is a safe haven for them to develop their social skills.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to look like a goth or dress like a goth to go to a goth club. They&#8217;re not the kind of people who would exclude you based on what you&#8217;re wearing. Many people who go to goth clubs are 9 to 5 office worker types. Goth clubs have a lot of people who don&#8217;t “look the part.”</p>
<p>The best part is that even if you spend the whole night scared and sulking in the corner by yourself, that actually makes you pretty cool by goth standards.</p>
<p>The bonus is that you also get the occasional super hot goth chick in a corset and pigtails. That will brighten your day.</p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re scared to death of social situations, you&#8217;ll probably do OK in these 2 settings.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you make the first small step towards becoming more social.</p>
<p>-Brad P.</p>

											</iframe>
										</div><p>Hello All,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Brad P., I&#8217;m writing here on Thundercat&#8217;s site today for a few reasons.</p>
<p>Firstly, I wish to congratulate all the guys who were named to the top 10 list. Although I don&#8217;t know all these guys and haven&#8217;t seen them in field, one thing I can tell you is that Thundercat puts a lot of time and effort into the research that goes into this list. He is in a unique position in some ways, because he has been around the community for so long, he has seen it all. He&#8217;s seen more fake gurus come and go than just about anyone anyone. He&#8217;s also been along side some of the greatest during their rise to the top, and he&#8217;s generally pretty fair to people.</p>
<p>Top Ten lists like this one, and a few of the others out there, are easy to dismiss as dick-crack. But if you&#8217;re new to this, and you don&#8217;t know where to turn, it can be quite helpful.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also taken a quick look at the responses, and I see there&#8217;s far less hate and controversy than usual. There&#8217;s a few people making well thought our comments, a few no-name gurus trying to attach their name to this thing, and that&#8217;s about it. Usually you have 150 people hurling personal insults at Thundercat, which really doesn&#8217;t help anyone get to the goal.</p>
<p>The goal is this:</p>
<p>The public needs to know who&#8217;s a good person to study with and who&#8217;s not. There&#8217;s no other purpose to a Top Ten List.<span id="more-1437"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s very easy for someone to make themselves look cool on the internet. That doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;ll get anything out of their products or coaching.</p>
<p>Anyone can do some creative editing on some infield video (only showing the best moments), write up some fake testimonials, and pay a web designer and a marketing guy to get their name out there, and there are people are just doing that.</p>
<p>But really, it doesn&#8217;t mean much. What matters is the real experiences you give to students, and the real benefits of your program. That’s why I’ve decided to put out an unedited book of student experience, called Geeks Get Girls- Download it here- <a href="http://www.bradp.com/landing/geeks-get-girls.pdf">http://www.bradp.com/landing/geeks-get-girls.pdf</a></p>
<p>In a world of illusions, what people want is something real, something they can believe in. People want to know who the best coaches are, who can really pickup women, and what kind of experience the students are getting.</p>
<p>Top ten lists are a part of that. There&#8217;s guys on the inside of this industry who know which coaches are good. The top ten lists are where they give out that knowledge.</p>
<p>Now let me respond to a few things in the article that were slightly off.</p>
<p><strong>Pickup Mansion-<br />
</strong>Yes, we started this program in 2009, and yes it&#8217;s been massively successful so far. Our new class of 2010 just moved in Feb. 1 and we are super excited about that. The only thing that was slightly off here is that we don&#8217;t have daily trainings with coaches. There&#8217;s 4-5 days of structured activities per month in the Pickup Mansion. I don&#8217;t want people to get the wrong idea about this or have this construed as false advertising.</p>
<p>There are a few reasons for this-</p>
<p>1- I&#8217;m trying to keep the price affordable. Daily coaching would cost so much that no one would be able to afford it.</p>
<p>2- I&#8217;m not a big believer in spoon-feeding students. The Pickup Mansion is a &#8220;self-help&#8221; program, not a &#8220;hold your hand every step of the way&#8221; program.  We want people to learn true self-motivation, and take ownership of their own development. Without that, the skills they learn will disappear as soon as they move out. I personally guided and supervised everyone&#8217;s development in 2009, but I didn&#8217;t spoon feed anyone. These guys got real results, and they can truly feel that they&#8217;ve earned what they got.</p>
<p>3- Residents of the Pickup Mansion are encouraged to live a balanced, normal life. That means they have jobs, they have friends and family, they have hobbies, and there&#8217;s more to life than cold approach pickup. I&#8217;m not trying to create weirdo pickup robots who do nothing but cold approach all day every day.</p>
<p>I tell everyone in Pickup Mansion that they should set aside time for dates, phone game, and identity development, and they should balance this with their cold-approach pickup. I also encourage them to do social circle game and online game.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, the pussy you get from cold approaching isn&#8217;t necessarily better than pussy you get from anywhere else. In most cases, it&#8217;s about the same color, temperature, and consistency <img src='http://www.thundercatseductionlair.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Next issue:</p>
<p><strong>Coaching guys from competing companies:</strong></p>
<p>This is a sensitive issue.</p>
<p>Do I teach coaches at other competing companies? Yes. Actually Glenn and I have taught at least one coach or employee from every single workshop company in the USA.</p>
<p>The reason that this is a complex issue is because some of these coaches have requested that we keep it a secret.</p>
<p>No one who owns a seduction company wants the public to know that I&#8217;m training their coaches and employees. The idea is to tell the public that the company trains all their own coaches. I can understand this, so Glenn and I agree up front to not disclose this information.</p>
<p>In some cases, the coach was going behind the back of the company owner.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll never tell who Glenn and I have trained, and it&#8217;s not something I&#8217;m going to talk about often. I&#8217;ve only mentioned it in public a few times.</p>
<p>Glenn and I aren&#8217;t training these guys for the glory of being the leaders of this movement. We simply train whoever wants training. We don&#8217;t really care who they work for or what company they own. We will train anyone.</p>
<p>Almost everyone wants confidentiality when it comes to something like seduction training, so we extend that courtesy to members of the seduction industry just like we would extend it to a lawyer or teacher or anyone else who feels its sensitive information.</p>
<p>When I get asked about this in public, I usually just try to keep it vague but truthful. Yes, I&#8217;ve trained at least one coach or employee for every seduction company in the USA, but I&#8217;m not going to name names.</p>
<p>There are some coaches out there who proudly proclaim they&#8217;ve studied with me, and others who want to keep it a secret.  That&#8217;s not my concern. My only concern is to give them the best training I possibly can during the time that I have them.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of becoming the new figurehead of the community&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>This is an idea that I have been resistant to in the past.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m quite happy to sit back and stay out of it. I&#8217;ll run my 30/30 Club, my workshops, and my Pickup Mansion and ignore the rest.</p>
<p>This is generally what I do.</p>
<p>If I had to write my own Top Ten list, I wouldn&#8217;t know where to start, because I haven&#8217;t seen anyone in field on the entire list except Glenn and Cajun.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s one thing I do know.</p>
<p>I know that the students have a very clear opinion on what they want, what they&#8217;re getting, and what they want changed.</p>
<p>The students who come to workshops tell me everything. They tell me which coaches refuse to demo. They tell me which coaches don&#8217;t seem to give a shit about the students. They tell me which coaches have a huge ego.</p>
<p>After 5 years of listening closely to students, I think I have a pretty good idea of what the coaches should be doing.</p>
<p>So if I&#8217;m going to be regarded as the new leader of the movement, I’ll take that as an opportunity to make a positive change for everyone. I’d like to take this opportunity to help the students get more out of the trainings, and help the coaches become better at what they do.</p>
<p>Some of the students are mild-manner guys who won&#8217;t speak up for themselves. My heart goes out to these guys, because if a coach is lazy or egotistical, it&#8217;s easy for the coach to frame control the student and not deliver what he wants.</p>
<p>So if there are any coaches or business owners out there reading this, here&#8217;s my message to you-</p>
<p><strong>If a student asks you to do a demo, just shut the fuck up and demo.</strong> Don&#8217;t go on some long speech about some weird topic or talk about your girlfriend or how she doesn&#8217;t like it or whatever. Nobody cares. Just shut the fuck up and demo. If you don&#8217;t want to demo, then you&#8217;re ruining the credibility of our entire industry and you should retire immediately.</p>
<p>The reason coaches get &#8220;demo anxiety&#8221; is because they have made exaggerated claims and now they are trying to live up to some unrealistic idea like &#8220;I can get any girl&#8221; or &#8220;I can open any set.&#8221;</p>
<p>It really doesn&#8217;t have to be this way.</p>
<p>If you really do get laid from cold approach, you have nothing to worry about. Just show the students what you normally do. Show them the good with the bad. This is what I taught to Glenn, Jake and the rest of my coaches. I tell them &#8220;just show real approach skills that lead to real lays.&#8221; It’s very simple.</p>
<p>Students can learn just as much from how you handle a blowout as they can from watching you get a make-out.</p>
<p>If you have never taught anything before and it&#8217;s your dream to become a seduction coach, I recommend you get some kind of teaching experience before you dive into seduction coaching. Even if it&#8217;s just volunteer work or helping underprivileged kids, it&#8217;s helpful.</p>
<p>When you are coaching someone in seduction, you hold that person&#8217;s future in your hands. If you do well, his life will be greatly improved. If you suck, you can do a great deal of damage.</p>
<p>Aspiring coaches are often blind to the meaning of this job, intoxicated by their ego and the lure of a rock-star lifestyle.</p>
<p>Most of the bigger companies have some kind of apprenticeship period, which I think is perfectly fine. The problem is the guys who just show up out of nowhere, with no curriculum, and no teaching background, and then they start teaching.</p>
<p>Why do they do it?</p>
<p>These newbie coaches are chasing their dream. They want the status and lifestyle of being a dating coach. If this is the reason you&#8217;re getting into it, that&#8217;s not a good reason.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about you. It&#8217;s not about your dream. It&#8217;s not about the lifestyle, and it&#8217;s not about the money.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about the students. It&#8217;s about the contribution you can make to their life.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about the lessons you can teach them, and making them better off that they were before.</p>
<p>If you really think it&#8217;s about you and your dream, then you&#8217;ve totally missed the point of all of this. You&#8217;re destined to be one of those egotistical coaches who doesn&#8217;t have the ability to empathize with the students.</p>
<p>Those guys don’t last very long in this business.</p>
<p><strong>Now, let me move on to talk to talking to the students.</strong></p>
<p>As a student, you have a very important job also.</p>
<p>If the coach does his job well, but you don&#8217;t do yours, then you won&#8217;t get anything out of your training.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few tips for guys who want to get the most out of a workshop or 1on1:</p>
<p><strong>1- Check your anger at the door.</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re angry at another workshop coach because his workshop sucked or he wouldn&#8217;t do any demos, don&#8217;t throw that anger on your new coach. Keep an open mind and allow your new coach to do his job.</p>
<p><strong>2- Don&#8217;t get freaked out about the money.</strong></p>
<p>I sometimes see a student in a workshop who is so stressed out about &#8220;getting my money&#8217;s worth&#8221; that he is not open to any of the lessons that are going on in the workshop.</p>
<p>They may waste the first few hours of the workshop thinking about this.</p>
<p>This kind of thinking is not conducive to learning.</p>
<p>Your mind won&#8217;t be open to new ideas if you&#8217;re already having a mild freak out.</p>
<p>Just try to relax. If the training sucks, just get your money back when it&#8217;s over. All the companies have a money-back guarantee. The whole point of that guarantee is so you can relax and learn, instead of worrying about money.</p>
<p><strong>3- Do whatever it takes to open your mind to what the coach is telling you.</strong></p>
<p>Suspend disbelief for a few days. Do whatever they’re telling you to do. Try anything the coaches suggest. Just put your faith in the coaches and open your mind. If it doesn’t work, you can always try something else later.</p>
<p>Seduction coaching is not an exact science, there is some trial and error to the process. So give your coaches some room to experiment and find what’s going to work for you.</p>
<p><strong>4- Don&#8217;t expect it to be easy.</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t look for shortcuts. Don&#8217;t expect the coach to do everything for you.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to get good at seduction, 80% of the work will be done by you, and maybe 20% by the coaches. 20% is the absolute most a coach can do for you.</p>
<p>Looking for shortcuts and magic pills is the ultimate kiss of death in learning seduction.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s going to take 12 months minimum to get good. Accept it. Stop trying to fight it. All you&#8217;re doing is making it take longer.</p>
<p>I wrote a few longer articles on how to learn properly, and I&#8217;ll give you a few links to them here.</p>
<p>This first article is called &#8220;The 7 Deadly Sins of Seduction.&#8221; If you can steer clear of these 7 problems, you can get good at seduction in 1 year, instead of 3-5 years, or never.</p>
<p><a href="http://bradp.com/7-deadly-sins-seduction">http://bradp.com/7-deadly-sins-seduction</a></p>
<p>This next article is about the old method of learning, and how it&#8217;s completely devoid of any structure or curriculum. Luckily I think the movement is getting past this mess in 2010.</p>
<p><a href="http://bradp.com/forbidden-truth">http://bradp.com/forbidden-truth</a></p>
<p>I believe in pushing the teaching methodology of pickup forward as fast I can.</p>
<p>Before 2008, the teaching method was &#8220;Here&#8217;s a book, go figure it out yourself. If you run into problems, check the forum, which has advice from guys who are mostly keyboard jockeys. If you need any more help then that, take a workshop.&#8221;</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m trying to do is infuse this movement with something more than just good seduction ideas.</p>
<p>Having ideas that will get you laid was never the issue. Pickup methods have been incredible for years and years now.</p>
<p>The problem was teaching methodology. In my opinion, the workshop teachers have had a good idea of teaching methodology for several years now, but the ebooks and CDs were a total mess.</p>
<p>Without teaching methodology, the students will have far less results, and this damages the credibility of the entire movement.</p>
<p>Before 2008, the &#8220;seduction product&#8221; movement consisted of a series of product launches, claiming to be &#8220;new information&#8221; aimed at neophile consumeristic students. (see The Forbidden Truth).</p>
<p>These students were unlikely to use any of the information, because it was difficult to use, and they were more interested in being entertained anyway.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s this certain breed of student out there, they study a lot and never do anything. They occasionally come to a workshop, but they treat it like fantasy camp. They&#8217;ll tell the other students &#8220;Yeah dude, I&#8217;ve met Style and Mystery, even Juggler. Now I couldn&#8217;t wait to meet Brad P. because he&#8217;s the new #1 guy. Everyone says he&#8217;s the best in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>These guys are casual observers, they&#8217;re not serious students.</p>
<p>If you come to my workshop or join my 30/30 Club, you can bet your ass I&#8217;ll be trying anything I can to transform you into a serious student.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s really no point in being a casual observer. All you&#8217;re doing is wasting your time and money.</p>
<p>So for the fantasy camp guys and the keyboard jockeys out there, I urge you to get serious and spend 2 hours in the field for every one hour you spend studying.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t do that, you should give your laptop charger to a friend to hold for you until you can do it. Stay off the computer until you&#8217;ve been in the field.</p>
<p>And for the product launchers, I urge you to make more effort to give students specific motivation and instructions on how they should use the information. Do anything you can to get them into the field. If you don&#8217;t do this, you are abetting their lack of action and wasted time.</p>
<p>I’ve though long and hard about how to get e-book reader type guys into the field more. It’s the most important problem in the seduction community today. I’m trying to do my part by including a “Users Manual” with every e-book. The users manual arrives in stages, days and weeks after the initial product, and attempts to motivate the student to use the information from the e-book.</p>
<p>This is still in the experimental stages, but I will keep everyone posted on if this has the desired effect.</p>
<p>OK, now that I&#8217;ve thoroughly pissed a few people off, I think that solidifies my role as the new figurehead of the movement. Thank you, Thundercat for giving me the exposure and the platform to get these ideas out.</p>
<p>Yes, I know I’m nitpicking on a lot of this stuff, but it needs to be said. Someone has to be there to push this thing in the right direction. If it’s got to me who does the nitpicking, so be it.</p>
<p><strong>And now for the good news…</strong></p>
<p>The good news is that 95% of the coaches really are doing a good job these days. Hundreds of students have told me how great their past workshop experiences have been. I’ve heard some of the most heartwarming stories about coaches who stayed out even when the workshop was over, jumped on a fattie CB for their students, or done something else that was above and beyond the call of duty.</p>
<p>In other good news, the accuracy and effectiveness of the information out there is truly incredible! Just about any ebook or DVD you buy these days is likely to give you something that will get you laid for sure if you apply it.</p>
<p>If you’re a guy who’s self motivated and willing to go into the field, you could spend a few hundred bucks and have enough info to bang 25 chicks a year for the rest of your life. This is something that was not possible just ten years ago.</p>
<p>We are all lucky to be living in a new era, and I’d like to put a name to our era.</p>
<p>We are living in The Golden Age of Seduction.</p>
<p>We are living in an age where you can watch the best pickup artists in the world picking up girls, right in front of your face. This is completely unprecedented in human history.</p>
<p>We are living in an age where a seduction genius can write a book, put it on the internet, and you can be reading it 3 minutes after you find the web page.</p>
<p>And….it’s only getting better!</p>
<p>As the years go by, the teaching techniques have been getting better and better.</p>
<p>The information has been getting better and better.</p>
<p>More and more talented coaches have entered our movement.</p>
<p>The talented coaches are sticking with it a lot longer than they used to.</p>
<p>The under-qualified coaches are starting to get weeded out.</p>
<p>Things are getting better and better!</p>
<p>Let’s make 2010 the best year ever in the seduction movement!</p>
<p>Let’s make this the year where all the students get into the field.</p>
<p>Let’s make this the year where all the coaches give it their all.</p>
<p>Let’s make this the year where everyone gets laid like crazy!</p>

<p lang="en-US" align="left">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><strong>About Me</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I am a dating expert with a degree in psychology and philosophy. Before becoming a dating coach, I had several careers in &#8220;helping professions&#8221; where I learned how to teach people who are in difficult situations or are having trouble learning. Consider my background before you consider my theories on learning.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I was a basketball coach for 3 years, after playing on a championship winning NCAA college basketball team under an elite group of coaches, one of whom went on to coach in the NBA. This instilled in me the ability to push people, to get the most out of them, and how to impart a &#8220;winning mentality&#8221; to all the students I encounter.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spent 2 years working with the mentally ill. I taught basic life skills to adults with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and a variety of learning disabilities. This is where I learned how to communicate ideas and skills in a way that is calibrated and customized for the listener&#8217;s level of comprehension.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spent 4 years as a social worker. I worked in a youth center running substance abuse prevention programs for at-risk urban teens in Queens, New York City. This taught me to deal with resistant populations and multi-cultural settings.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spent the first 26 years of my life as a nerd who had no ability to deal with women or attract women. I have a real understanding of the deep loneliness and fearfulness that men go through when they fail with women.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spent my first 8 months of learning cold approaching women every single day. That&#8217;s 7 days a week. I continued approaching and dating lots of women for the next 4 years and I still am active to this day. Everything I teach comes from true life experience. There is no speculation, no guessing. It&#8217;s all things I&#8217;ve done myself.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spent 2 years learning from naturals. I&#8217;ve learned from one natural who seduces women in ten minutes, another who has out-gamed Tommy Lee, and a third who approaches 20+ women every day of his life.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p lang="en-US" align="left"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I&#8217;ve spent the last 4 years doing a mixture of cold approach pickup and long term open relationships, and I have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to get a woman, and what it takes to keep a woman. Anything you&#8217;ve ever wanted to do, chances are I&#8217;ve done it and I can teach it.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="left">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Since 2005, I&#8217;ve been running seminars and in-field workshops. I helped men from every walk of life, from the most socially inept to the highly accomplished professional. My students have had great success. A few high points include:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">- 4 out of 6 students scoring from same day cold approaches in my 2008 Chicago Workshop</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">- Helping a 32 year old virgin lose his virginity despite his severe learning disabilities.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">- Helping a number of older men (some in their 50s) score on the same day with women half their age.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0in;">
<p lang="en-US" align="left"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><strong>My Seduction Community Experience</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When I began teaching in March of 2005, the students were brand new the idea of studying dating and seduction and we did a lot of rudimentary work on their identity and skill set. After learning the simple fundamentals I was teaching, my first group of students had such a high success rate that my class quickly grew in popularity and attendance, and by 2006,  men were contacting me from all over the world to learn from me. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">During that first year, my success</span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> seemed to me to be an isolated phenomenon, but there was a worldwide movement going on that I wasn&#8217;t aware of, the Seduction Community. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I remember the first time I heard about the seduction community. I was teaching a seminar in 2005, and I asked if there were any questions. A young IT consultant raised his hand and said &#8220;I&#8217;m having a little trouble with A3.&#8221; I had no idea what he was talking about, and I felt a little silly being stumped at my own seminar. I told him &#8220;I&#8217;ll have to go home and look that one up.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">As I found out later, A3 is one of the stages in the M3 model, a seduction community system. This is one of the &#8220;internally consistent systems&#8221; I&#8217;ll be talking about later.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I spoke to this student and his friend after class, and I was floored by the amount of information they were able to repeat to me. They had about ten times more information than me. At the time, I thought they had large amounts of knowledge, but I found out later they didn&#8217;t. They only had information. There&#8217;s a big difference between having knowledge and having information.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When you have &#8220;information,&#8221; you can tell it to other people, you can pass a multiple choice quiz, you might even be able to impress a few people by convincing them that you have knowledge.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Truly having &#8220;knowledge&#8221; is when you are able to understand the relationships between different types of information. You&#8217;ll know when certain principles apply, and when they don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s  very different. Having &#8220;knowledge&#8221; allows you to build skill and get results. Having information is just a prerequisite to obtaining knowledge.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">So how did I find out that these guys only had information?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">They signed up for one of my in-field trainings, and I went out to a few bars with them to meet women. Keep in mind these guy seemed to know ten times more than me. I had only been teaching for 6 months. I thought they were gonna mop the floor with me and demand a refund.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During the course of the night, I took five phone numbers and brought home a hot burlesque dancer. I had a great night. My  know-it-all students, on the other hand, had a rough time. I gave them my standard lessons and did a few approaches for them to watch. Then I asked them to approach a pair of women at the bar so I could watch and critique them. They both looked at me with a panicked expression on their face. &#8220;Brad, I think we&#8217;re gonna just observe tonight,&#8221; they said. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I tried a few more times to get them to approach, but they were just too scared. They didn&#8217;t do one single approach.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">As a new teacher, this was really confusing to me. How was it that these guys knew so much about seduction, but were unable to do even one single approach, even with the help of a coach?</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>They were keyboard jockeys. That&#8217;s how.</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">As I continued meeting more and more community guys, I would find out that many of them were keyboard jockeys. They have the information. They can spit it back to you, they can type it out on a computer screen, but they aren&#8217;t able to actually use ANY of the information they have. It&#8217;s a condition that&#8217;s widespread and rampant.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">In 2006, I was a speaker at the &#8220;Cliff&#8217;s List&#8221; Convention, which was the largest gathering of seduction students in North America that year. After I did that, the community guys slowly took over my trainings and seminars until by 2007, there were no &#8220;regular guys&#8221; left, only community guys.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I continued my teaching, and I had many similar experiences that all lead to the same few conclusions.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">1. There&#8217;s no shortage of information, the students already have tons of info.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">2. About 80% of the information out there in the seduction community is of very high quality. Some of the techniques are so innovative and psychologically sound that it must have taken a genius to come up with them.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">3. There&#8217;s a huge disconnect in the quality of the information and the ability of the students to utilize the information.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">4. Most of this disconnect stems from inefficient teaching techniques, </span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">fearfulness, confusion, poor information timing, and the occasional bit of bad information.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If I could only get these guys to use the information they already had, they&#8217;d be getting great results.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>The Gift of the Gurus</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The volume of knowledge available in dating science today is simply staggering. It&#8217;s amazing to think that so many brilliant individuals spent years of their lives learning about women, and then spent even more time passing on their knowledge to the students. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The gurus have given a gift to each and every one of us, and we owe it to them and to ourselves to take this knowledge and put it to use by going into the field and applying what we&#8217;ve read. I take my hat off to every guy who&#8217;s ever spent real time in the field and then done his best to help others.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Really, I do. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">That’s why I want to make it clear that I’m in no way indicting any other company or guru. All of them have awesome things to say. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">But for some reason I’ve found that – no matter who the teacher – most guys still struggle to act upon the information they ingest. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The more I became aware of this, the more I began to modify my own teaching style. And the results were very satisfying.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>The Infamous Chicago Six</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The high point of my experience giving workshops came in February 2008, when I trained a group of guys in Chicago for 3 days. We did my typical workshop curriculum, and the end result was that 4 out of the 6 students took home a woman from a cold approach. A 66% rate of students getting laid in a workshop is unheard of and unprecedented. Even for me, getting 2 of 8 guys laid was more what I was used to. Something had changed. Something was working. Everything had been taken to a new level. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Was it me? Was it the students? Was it my coaches Sean and Gabriel? Or was it the system I had created? Maybe it was all of the above.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When word got out that 4 out of 6 guys scored, a few people asked if I taught them more than other workshops&#8230;.but I didn&#8217;t. I actually taught them LESS. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I gave them less information than you would expect in a 3 day workshop, but everything I taught them was perfectly timed, motivating, specific, and actionable. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Did I teach them more? No. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Did they learn more? Yes.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">This was a great success and a milestone for me, but I wanted to reach more people. In the big picture, getting 4 guys laid isn&#8217;t really that big of a deal. What about the guys who couldn&#8217;t take a workshop? What about the guys who were drowning out there in the mess of confusion we call the Internet? What would become of those guys? </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">My goal now is to create this same level of student success on a larger, more global scale. I intend to do this in 2 ways.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>1. Directly: </strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">by building and implementing my &#8220;30/30&#8243; Club, which is an affordable, streamlined system for becoming proficient in seduction in 12 months or less.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>2. Indirectly:</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> By releasing more information about my teaching methods to other companies, instructors, and to the seduction audience in general through this report.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">That&#8217;s a little bit about me. Everything from here on out is just my opinion and you are free to toss it aside if you disagree. I believe that I&#8217;m in a unique position to be able to evaluate the current state of seduction literature and push dating science forward at a faster rate than anyone else.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Internally Consistent Systems</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The body of literature, as it stands today, consists of a series of internally consistent systems. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">What I mean by &#8220;internally consistent systems&#8221; is this: if you take ANY of the following systems and apply them accurately and consistently, you will get dates, sex, and/or relationships. Here are a few of the internally consistent systems that have been around for a while:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Double Your Dating (David DeAngelo)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Gunwitch Method (Allen &#8220;Gunwitch&#8221; Reyes)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Juggler Method (Wayne &#8220;Juggler&#8221; Elise)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Mystery Method (Mystery)</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The Emotional Progression Model (Savoy)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">VAC Method (Vin DiCarlo and Sebastian Drake)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Social Circle Club Game (Brad P.)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">10 Minute Seduction Technique (The Pheromone Kid)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">It&#8217;s 2008, and students are still arguing on forums about which is the best system. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">It&#8217;s 2008, and small time gurus continue creating derivative systems in attempts to increase their own notoriety.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The race to come up with the best system for picking up women is over. It&#8217;s been over for years. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">In the year 2008, there exists a multitude of internally consistent systems for seducing and dating women. The problem now is that most of the men who study these systems don&#8217;t have intangibles to implement any of them. The real challenge is to create a teaching method that empowers the student with intangibles within a realistic time frame. It shouldn&#8217;t take 4 years to become proficient in dating and seduction. This is unacceptable. In 2008, I will release a new curriculum that will make men proficient in dating and seduction in 12 months or less. This is my mission.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Intangibles and Fundamentals</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When I first was introduced to the seduction community, the first thing I noticed was that the students knew ten times more theory than me, but I was getting laid ten times more than them. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Think back on the two keyboard jockeys from 2005. They certainly knew more theory than me, they had purchased every eBook they could get their hands on. I brought them out into the field and both guys froze. They were sweating and trembling at the thought of talking to a woman. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">These guys later got their act together with my help, and I credit them for introducing me to the seduction community along with Cliff and Fastseduction.com, but that&#8217;s besides the point.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><strong>The moral of the story is this: There&#8217;s little correlation between how much theory you know and your ability to get laid. The guys who have the balls to go get it will succeed, while the guys who know lots of theory will be watching from the sidelines. </strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Having theoretical knowledge of seduction is maybe 5% of the battle. The rest of it is the application of fundamentals. Here are the fundamentals, in order of importance:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">1. Social Courage (&#8220;balls&#8221;)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">2. Identity</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">3. Determination</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">4. Frame control</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">5. Body Language</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">6. Voice Tone</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">7. Discipline</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">8. Positivity</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">9. Image/Appearance</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">10. Genuine Sexual Intentions</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If you have all of these pieces in place, a little bit of theory will take you a long way.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Dominance Projection</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Why is having balls so important? Because almost all the tactics and strategies in dating science are forms of dominance projection. If one is to succeed with women, dominance is the most important trait to possess. Dominance is a prerequisite to acceptance, attraction, trust, rapport, arousal, excitement, and compliance.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">As coaches and gurus, we&#8217;re trying to teach dominant behavior to men who are not very dominant to begin with. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Let&#8217;s take a look at the various ways that dating science teaches dominance to non-dominant men. Here are some ideas from the internally consistent systems I mentioned earlier:</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Social Anxiety</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Non-dominant men who study seduction are exposed to a wealth of highly effective material, but are rarely able to apply this material. Most of these men are held back by social anxiety. Social anxiety inhibits the application of seduction material in many ways. If you&#8217;ve ever had any of these thoughts, then you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">&#8220;I can&#8217;t talk to that girl now, what if the old lady sitting next to her is listening.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">&#8220;I can&#8217;t kino her now with all her friends around.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">&#8220;What if the people around me are watching me right now.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Thoughts like these cause you to look visibly nervous to the woman you are interacting with. Many times, these kinds of thoughts prevent you from even approaching. In the big picture, social anxiety takes all the power out of those fantastic techniques invented by the gurus.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I&#8217;ve seen many students try to implement advanced seduction community tactics that are very well thought out. Usually the problem isn&#8217;t the tactic itself, it&#8217;s that the guy is visibly nervous while he&#8217;s implementing it. Then there&#8217;s others who just tell me about the technique later when the girl has already left. They don&#8217;t even try it, they just tell me about it.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Read through a few of these tactics from bristollair.com:</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Tension Loops by Swingcat</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><em>&#8220;A Tension Loop is when you do something to create unresolved emotional tension inside a woman, increase it, release it by bringing closure to it, and then spark it all over again. This will keep her feeling the emotion of wanting and reaching and chasing for more of you. </em></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><em>Soap opera writers use Tension Loops to keep women enraptured in their fictitious dramas for months &#8211; sometimes years! The structure is always the same. The soap starts off with some form of conflict or drama, sparking unresolved emotional tension. Emotional tension increases up until the point of the climax. The tension, then, is released by bringing some resolution to the conflict or drama. And, finally, the show ends by sparking the tension all over again, compelling women to tune in for next week&#8217;s show.&#8221; </em></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">In my opinion this is brilliant stuff. Unfortunately, most of the students reading these techniques stand little chance of implementing them because of their social anxiety. You think you&#8217;ll be able to do a “AMOG destroyer” or a “tension loop” when you&#8217;re visibly nervous? Most of the time I&#8217;ve seen students try this stuff, they&#8217;re too nervous to even remember what they were trying to do.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">As far as I know, there is no 100% effective way of masking social anxiety. The solution is to slowly increase the amount of social pressure you are able to handle over a period of months and months. For example, my </span></span></span></span><span style="#0000ff;"><span style="underline;"><a href="http://www.bradppresents.com/cds/how-to-beat-approach-anxiety.html"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">&#8220;How to Beat Approach Anxiety&#8221;</span></span></span></a></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> CDs slowly expose the student to more and more social pressure using a controlled and quantifiable method.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>The Seduction Consumer</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">After reading a few dozen reviews of seduction products on reputable forums such as FastSeduction.com and TheAttractionForums.com, I&#8217;ve noticed that there is quite a shift in expectations and behavior that happens when students become consumers.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Let&#8217;s take a moment to consider the differences between a student and a consumer.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">A student is one who wants to gain knowledge, build skills, and change his life for the better. Think of a martial arts student who travels to China to learn karate in it&#8217;s purest form from the descendants of it&#8217;s creators, or a Russian gymnast who studies under the best coaches to become an Olympic gymnast. Now that&#8217;s a serious student. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Now let&#8217;s think about the quintessential consumer. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Picture an American woman from the suburbs shopping for her family at Walmart. Let&#8217;s say she&#8217;s using coupons. She wants to get as much as she can for as cheap as she can, and she wants it to be as convenient as possible. By &#8220;convenient&#8221; I mean she wants to put in the smallest amount of effort possible to obtain the products she needs. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Karate student vs. Mom at Walmart. Picture it.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Everyone has the potential to behave as a student or as a consumer, it&#8217;s just a matter of what buttons have been pushed. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Think for a moment. Did someone push your student button, or did they push your consumer button?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Are you trying to reach an elite level of skill and knowledge? Or are you trying to get as much as you can for as cheap as you can, and with the smallest amount of effort possible.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Here&#8217;s what I saw in the reviews I read. Feel free to visit the forums yourself, the reviews are pouring in every day.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">1. Reviewers are fixated on the quantity of information contained in the product. There are frequent mentions of how many pages an eBook contains, how small the type is, even how big the margins are.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">2. Reviewers are focused on the &#8220;newness&#8221; of the information, and will call out any product that is a &#8220;rehash.&#8221; </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">This is understandable in our neophile, capitalist culture. We&#8217;re fed a constant stream of new movies, music, TV shows, and all sorts of live entertainment. As consumers of entertainment, we&#8217;ve been force-fed this idea that new=good, and old=bad.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">What the reviewers have missed, is that seduction products are not entertainment, they are self help. When it comes to self help, there&#8217;s only one question that matters:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">&#8220;How much did this product improve my life?&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">What if a 5 page PDF could change your life more than 20 DVDs? Which would you choose if they were both the same price? Would the consumer inside you win? Or would the student inside you win?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The marketers know where the money is, and the seduction industry has responded to the consumer audience by producing a series of &#8220;high quantity&#8221; products. 20+ DVD sets have been released, with some of the DVDs containing only 20 minutes of information. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Of course they received bad reviews by astute consumers on the forums. &#8220;Only 20 minutes! And it was a rehash!&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The industry has also served up &#8220;new&#8221; products at an alarming fast rate. At this point, the gurus are basically sitting around interviewing each other over and over, all in the name of launching new products and creating new information.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Again I have to ask, what if a 5 page PDF could change your life more than a 20 DVD set, but the PDF was old and the DVD set was new. Would you still use the information in the PDF? Which would you choose?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Another question. What if there was one single book that would make you a master of seduction, but you had to work with it for 2 years. Would you keep working with that material for 2 years? Or would you start reading other things because they were &#8220;new?&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Is the flood of new dating products serving you well? Or is it distracting you and causing you to lose focus? That&#8217;s something that I honestly don&#8217;t know the answer to, but I&#8217;d love to hear opinions from students of seduction, or should I call them consumers of seduction. I&#8217;m not here to give you all the answers, but I do want to raise some new questions.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center">
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Surveys, Data and the Shocking Proof</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I&#8217;m a big fan of using an empirical process when teaching and evaluating the development of students. Picking up women is often referred to as an art form. I personally regard teaching as a science, not an art form. Students should have measurable, repeatable success and teachers should have quantifiable, repeatable procedures. Cold approach pickup is not easy to teach, and numbers are your friend when you are trying to teach a new guy what to do. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Self help is a shadowy industry often filled with fluffy or unmeasurable methodologies. The seduction field is particularly vulnerable to this, as guys who can&#8217;t get laid are easily lead into believing in chakras, hypno-patterns, affirmations, and all sorts of weird stuff.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="always;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I went digging around for some data on the learning process of pickup, but there was very little to be found. I decided to get the ball rolling myself. I chose a small question to investigate, and I&#8217;d like to share the results with you. The question relates to studying with eBooks, CDs, and DVDs: </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><em><strong>Does studying lots of seduction materials correlate with increased success with women? </strong></em></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I think most people would assume that the more you study something, the better you will become at it. In 3 years as a coach, I have found that when it comes to seduction, this &#8220;study more=get better&#8221; idea is certainly not the case. It&#8217;s a bit tricker than that.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Let&#8217;s assume for a moment that the guys who study the most would be the guys who get laid the most. If this were the case, a chart of student success would look like this.</span></span></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Picdoodle" src="http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/3/8/18/f_AssumedResum_73dbe13.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="399" /></p>
<p style="0in;">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If this were the case, everyone who had a few thousand dollars to spend on seduction products would be swimming in pussy. It turns out that this is not the case at all. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="always;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I did a survey of 100 men from the 2 biggest seduction forums on the internet: fastseduction.com and theattractionforums.com, and here are the results.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><img class="alignnone" title="picdoodle2" src="http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/3/8/18/f_SurveynoOutm_829d7c3.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="399" /></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There&#8217;s no recognizable trend of increased success for guys who studied more.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The purpose of this survey wasn&#8217;t to figure out everything about the entire process, but just to answer this one question: </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><em><strong>Does studying lots of seduction materials always lead to increased success with women? </strong></em></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The answer is no it doesn&#8217;t, according to this survey. There is no significant correlation.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">However, many questions still remain unanswered due to the small scope of this survey.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There are other factors not addressed in the survey that come into play, such as:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Level of pre-existing natural game</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Psychological makeup</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Age</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Looks</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Geographical location</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Time spent in the seduction community</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-In what order were the materials studied?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-What was the quality of the materials studied?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Field time</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-Focus</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-When did they read the information? (Information timing)</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-What did they do to apply the information?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">-How quickly did they take in the information?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">From a teaching standpoint, some of these extraneous variables cannot be controlled. However, a few of them can. A coach who is continuously involved with a student over a period of time can manage the field time, information timing, and information application of the student.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">At the present time, there is little effort being made in the seduction community to monitor these variables, with the exception of field time. Every guru and forum moderator has been telling people to &#8220;get into the field&#8221; for years and it&#8217;s some of the best advice out there.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Since I&#8217;ve been on the forums, I&#8217;ve sensed a bit of frustration from the moderators. There&#8217;s quite a few men out there who are not heeding their advice to &#8220;get in the field.&#8221; It&#8217;s hard to say exactly why their good advice is being ignored. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">My opinion is that there is a lack of structure, and structure is necessary for motivation. Students need to be told when, where, and how much to go into the field. Without that, it&#8217;s very easy for them to sit home and say &#8220;I&#8217;ll do it tomorrow.&#8221; Some students need specific instructions, and &#8220;get into the field&#8221; is not specific enough to motivate them. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I tell the students in my 30/30 Club to follow very specific guidelines when it comes to field time. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">I tell them to follow what I call &#8220;The Golden Rule of Learning.&#8221; For every 1 hour you spend studying, you should be spending 2 hours utilizing the information by going into the field. This is the Golden Rule.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Then, whenever you post on my 30/30 forum, you should include your study time to field time ratio for the week in your signature, like this.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">This encourages accountability on forums.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There is also a lack of positive or negative reinforcement about going into the field. Guys who don&#8217;t go into the field are welcome to hypothesize and do guess works on seduction forums. The problem with this sort of guess work is that it is usually a mixture of poorly timed information, hero worship, and validation seeking. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Some guys just post the most advanced idea they can think of. They&#8217;re trying to impress the other readers. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Others recite the words of the gurus without ever having applied them. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The end result is a polluted intellectual atmosphere. New students must contend not only with the fear and emotional neediness that comes along with failing with women, but they must also navigate a complex maze of info-marketing, hundreds of products, and suspect advice from keyboard jockeys.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US">
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>The Power of Information Timing</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">One idea I always explain to my students at workshops is the idea of &#8216;Information Timing.&#8221; Here&#8217;s how it works.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Let&#8217;s pretend for a moment that the body of literature on dating and seduction is like a 36 Volume Encyclopedia Britannica. Remember when you were a kid in school and they&#8217;d take you to the library and there would be these massive volumes in the reference section? Thousands and thousands of pages on information on every topic imaginable, remember that? The amount of dating info out there is at least as big as The Encyclopedia Britannica, probably larger.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Some students try to read all 36 volumes and then go apply it. Some coaches try to teach all 36 volumes, but no one actually needs all 36 volumes to succeed.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">What I try to do is watch a student, listen to him, and then go through my own 36 volumes in my head. My 36 volumes of info come from my field time, 4 years of teaching, and all of the thing I&#8217;ve learned from naturals and legitimate gurus. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"> If you teach all the time, you can go through the whole encyclopedia in just a few seconds. I narrow it all down to the one volume that would be the most helpful to the student. Then I narrow it down to the one page that would resonate the most for him, given his skill level, his experience level, and what ideas he finds exciting and motivating. Then I narrow it down to one single paragraph that will help him the most. That&#8217;s what I tell him. Maybe 3 or 4 sentences. That&#8217;s it. Then I let him apply that, and when he&#8217;s ready for more, I give him a few more well chosen sentences.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Sure, I could tell him more, but if it&#8217;s too advanced for him, it won&#8217;t make sense and he&#8217;ll forget it. That would be poorly timed information.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If it&#8217;s too rudimentary for him, he won&#8217;t be excited about what he learned. He&#8217;ll nod and say to himself &#8220;Yeah I already knew that.” Then he&#8217;ll forget all about it.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The student must be able to take action in order to improve. Every piece of information must be actionable. In order for something to be actionable, it must be exciting, motivating, and properly timed.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If you go searching around on Google, start reading some forums, and then start buying the products that have the  most compelling marketing, chances are that the information timing will be completely haphazard. Students are urged to buy the newest products by slick sales lingo and ingenious launch campaigns. The idea that most students haven&#8217;t even begun to apply what they read last week doesn&#8217;t seem to have occurred to anyone. In this way, the seduction community doesn&#8217;t always serve the interests of it&#8217;s students, sometimes it only serves the financial interests of the teachers and their marketers.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">As for the forums, they are a mixed bag as well. On the positive side, they offer new guys a chance to get personal feedback from more experienced seducers. The big drawback is that the advice they receive is sometimes woefully inappropriate to their skill level. Some intermediate seducers who give advice have field experience. Other don&#8217;t. Some are just parroting back the words of the gurus. Others just post the most advanced advice they can think of, hoping that others will recognize them and give them a good user-rating. The newbies are left to sort out a series of conflicting opinions from dubious sources. It&#8217;s better than nothing, but it&#8217;s a slow way to learn. Throw in a few flame wars and some spam, and you have a recipe for confusion. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The only sure bet for new guys is to take a workshop from a reputable company. For those who can&#8217;t afford it or don&#8217;t live in one the top 10 richest cities in the world, this is not easily accomplished. For these guys, products, forums, and field experience are the only options.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="always;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Let&#8217;s have a look at one more survey so you can really see what I&#8217;m talking about. The following is a survey taken from the seduction community&#8217;s largest illegal file-pirating website. I&#8217;m not going to name names here, but if you&#8217;re reading this report, chances are that you know the website I&#8217;m talking about.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.25in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There&#8217;s over 900 responses on this survey. Keep in mind this is an illegal file swapping site. The members of this site risk criminal prosecution and jail time to have access to literally every seduction product on the market. These guys have 500 GB hard drives filled with every seminar, DVD, eBook, and ZIP archive you can think of. They are extremely well informed.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0in;">
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Everyone see what&#8217;s going on here? About 73% of these guys have slept with 10 women or less. The largest category is&#8230;you guessed it&#8230;virgins. These are the guys who have every seduction product on the market, and they are not getting much action.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">These are the guys who have read everything. The guys who study the most are the guys who get laid the least. This challenges the commonly held assumption that &#8220;the more you study, the better you get.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know these guys personally, but my bet would be that they&#8217;re poor results stem from:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">1. Information overload</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">2. Poor information timing</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">3. Lack of field experience</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">That&#8217;s what you get when you try to read everything at once- poor results. A better way to get good is to work within a system where you have proper information timing and a good field to study time ratio. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Information Overload</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">One of the hardest problems to fix in a live workshop is &#8220;Information Overload.&#8221; Some students have read so much information from so many different sources, that they can barely formulate complete sentences when there&#8217;s an actual woman in front of them.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Have you ever thought about the idea of &#8220;information overload?&#8221; Let&#8217;s take a minute to think about what it means.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Imagine you had a rolodex, and it had 50 phone numbers in it. If you needed a phone number, you&#8217;d be able to find it pretty quickly. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Now think about this: What if the rolodex was the size of a refrigerator, and it was full? It would take you all day to find one phone number. That&#8217;s what happens to guys who have studied too much material without applying any of it. When they&#8217;re talking to a woman, they&#8217;re thinking so hard about so many different ideas, that they just come off as weird.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Is it possible to use lots and lots of information when meeting women? Yes, the best seducers in the world use large amounts of information. But they have a faster search mechanism. For them it&#8217;s not like a rolodex, it&#8217;s more like an Oracle database on a high powered computer.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">The difference is that they have naturalized the information through a larger number of </span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>information encounters</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">, most of which come from field experience.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Here&#8217;s how information encounters (or IEs) work:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The first one is usually that &#8220;a ha!&#8221; moment that a lot of people hope  for when they sign up for seminars. It&#8217;s a really fun thing. The a-ha moment is tremendously important because it opens the door to naturalizing the information. However, the a-ha moment isn&#8217;t the end of the road, it&#8217;s actually just the beginning.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The first time you hear an idea, you may agree with it, you may even try to act on it, but it does not truly become a part of you until you&#8217;ve heard that idea many more times and acted on it many more times. Each time you hear or act on an idea, you learn it on a deeper and deeper level.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">So here&#8217;s a typical pattern of IEs. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #1, you say to yourself &#8220;A Ha! Yes, that makes sense.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #2, you might evaluate the source and say to yourself &#8220;Wow, that Brad P. is a pretty smart guy.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #3, you might think back to a time when something similar happened to you and say to yourself &#8220;ohhh, that&#8217;s why that girl called me back, but the other girl wouldn&#8217;t.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #4, you might take the information and use it in a real interaction.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #5, you look back on that interaction and process it using the original idea as the framework.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #6, you use it again, and this time you get a different result than you expected.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #7, you analyze the result.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #8, you are in the field and you observe the idea happening to other people.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IE #9, you apply the idea without having to think too hard.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">During IEs 10-20, you are having to think less and less to put the idea into practice.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There comes a time when you have encountered an idea so many times that you automatically act on it. You don&#8217;t even have to think about it anymore. This is the point where you have &#8220;naturalized&#8221; the information. You have made it a permanent part of yourself. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When you have naturalized a large number of powerful ideas, and you don&#8217;t have to work very hard to apply them, you develop that high-powered database with the super fast search mechanism. That&#8217;s when you start getting really good. But if your IEs are of low quality, you&#8217;ll never get there. Some guys get all their IEs through reading, fantasy, and hero worship. That&#8217;s when the ideas start degrading more and more.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US">
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Information Distortion and Spoilage</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The problem with studying too much without using the information in field is that it becomes more and more distorted with every information encounter. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When you encounter an idea on a DVD or in a book, you will often envision yourself in a hypothetical situation similar to the one being described. Then your emotions, hopes, dreams, and fears will fill in the blanks that were not described by the author. This little daydream is a great way to get started on naturalizing an idea, but it usually bears little resemblance to the way things would play out in reality.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">In a perfect world, your second IE would be a real life situation, and you would have a chance to form a more realistic interpretation of the idea without your emotions filling in the blanks so much.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US">But if you don&#8217;t have a real world experience with the idea within the first 5-10 IEs, your unrealistic daydream about the idea starts to crystallize into something that won&#8217;t work out that well in real life. Eventually, the information has become so distorted that it actually moves you backwards. </span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><em>That&#8217;s right, it is possible to move backwards in this. </em></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Every single day, every single moment, you are either moving backwards or moving forwards.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">The ideas you study are like rotting milk in the fridge. If you don&#8217;t get them out to the dinner table within a week or two, they start to spoil. Then they start to stink up everything in your whole fridge. That&#8217;s when you really start moving backwards.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">So there you have it. There&#8217;s the overload problem and the distortion problem. When they start interacting you have a recipe for a keyboard jockey.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="always;" lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>The Point of No Return</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US">
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">When you study lots of seduction info, but seldom use it in field, you form a “glut” of unusable information.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Some of it is unusable because there&#8217;s simply too much. Your rolodex is too full and you can&#8217;t access things quickly enough. The rest of the glut is misinterpreted information. You have visualized it too many times. You have crystallized an unrealistic picture and it will be almost impossible to change it now.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">There comes a time when the glut has become so large and distorted, that it&#8217;s almost impossible to use anything you&#8217;ve read. You&#8217;d be better off starting over than trying to sort out that mess. I call this &#8220;The Point of No Return.&#8221; </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Lots of students have passed the point of no return by the time they come to me. That&#8217;s one of the drawbacks of accidentally discovering a worldwide self-help movement, and then ending up being buried 4 layers down in it. Sometimes the guys you get are the ones who have tried everything and nothing has worked. It&#8217;s a challenge I welcome.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">One of the goals of my 30/30 Club is to “rebuild” the guys who have passed the point of no return. Many of them have learned ways of interacting with women that allow them to “open and attract” every time, but this never gets them laid. If you have that problem, it might be time to get yourself rebuilt with methods that actually get you laid.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>You  Might Be A Keyboard Jockey If&#8230;.</strong></span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">You&#8217;ve typed the words &#8220;I have so much respect for (insert guru name)&#8221; into a forum reply.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">You&#8217;re &#8220;trying to study up for a few months before you start approaching.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">You have a membership to a file sharing site.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">You&#8217;re getting more than 5 email newsletters a day in your inbox.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">You have over 100 megs of seduction info on your hard drive.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">If you&#8217;re not a KJ, I&#8217;m sure you know people that are. They read everything and apply nothing, while building up a huge network of virtual friends. And what have they gained? They&#8217;ve wasted thousands of hours studying and gotten no results. It&#8217;s a raw deal. Do not let this happen to you.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Dear KJ,</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">It&#8217;s time I give you some tough love. You came into this as a nerd who couldn&#8217;t get women. Now you&#8217;re a nerd who still can&#8217;t get women, but you&#8217;re really well educated about social dynamics. Well-educated nerd. Not quite what you had in mind. If that&#8217;s the path you&#8217;re on, I hope this report scares the living shit out of you. Stop for a minute and think about all your friends. Think of a good friend that you  trust. Go to his house. Give your friend your laptop charger. Tell him not to give it back until you&#8217;ve gotten laid.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Yours truly,</span></span></span></p>

<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>Rules to Live By</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Apply these rules now, and you&#8217;ll have a better chance of improving without wasting your life away.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>1. Stick to the 1:2 ratio.</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> That&#8217;s the Golden Rule of Learning. For every one hour you spend studying, spend 2 hours in the field.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>2. Try to only take in high quality information.</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> That means you should be reading reviews and asking the reviewers &#8220;How much did this information change your life?&#8221;</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"><strong>3. Remember, more info doesn&#8217;t mean more results.</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;"><span lang="en-US"> You have to go apply it. If you don&#8217;t, there&#8217;s a chance you might move backwards.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="medium;"><strong>At the Crossroads</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">We&#8217;re at a crossroads in the development of our movement and our industry. We&#8217;re attracting lots of new students, but we&#8217;re also attracting under-qualified coaches and profiteers. If we continue cranking out information products without teaching people how to use them, we will create an army of keyboard jockeys who don&#8217;t get results. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Then there will be no long term viability to anything that&#8217;s going on right now. It&#8217;s up to the leaders of the community to teach the students how to learn more efficiently. I&#8217;ll be emailing this report to all the gurus and coaches who I know personally in hopes that reading this might improve their teaching even by 1%.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">It&#8217;s also up to the students. Demand results, not entertainment. Keep posting reviews of what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s not. Apply some discipline to your learning process. If you can&#8217;t do this yourself, get some help from me and my 30/30 coaches. All of the learning principles described here are built into my 30/30 Club, where you will meet 30 new women every 30 days.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="0.26in;" lang="en-US"><span style="#000000;"><span style="Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="small;">Thanks for reading!</span></span></span></p>
