Two things you missed 1) He sends her a drink after he's left because the other guy got her the wrong kind of drink and he got her the exact drink she'd been drinking, implying he was paying attention to her 2) She tells him her name and where she works, so there's zero stalking required in order for him to send her a package. If anything, she will just once again get the impression that he was paying attention to more than just her name and looks
@Lindsay September Exactly! Glad to see that I wasn't the only person who noticed these aspects. Personally, I think that Will Smith did everything just right in this scenario~
Remember that Will asked the bartender what she's drinking and he walked to the table with two " grey goose" in his hand. So I dont understand why another drink had to be sent after he left?
@@lesliejackson5225 He never gave her that drink he initially brought over, because he was intercepted by Chip who brought her the wrong drink (which he sent back when he sat down), and following up Chip's poor attempt with the exact same move (buying her a drink before establishing any respect or attraction) would have been unsuccessful.
You said you thought it was strange that he sent her a drink afterwards and you weren't sure what his strategy was... As a woman it seems pretty obvious to me. When we receive drinks (at least some of us), we don't really think they are "free". There is an implication that we owe the guy a conversation at the very least because he is being "nice" which if we accept the drink but refuse to converse, it would put us in the socially negative position as being mean/taking advantage. I usually want to turn down drinks if I feel I will be pressured to be nice even if I don't like him. What he essentially showed by sending her the drinks after he walked away, was that the drinks had no agenda, pressure or obligation for her to speak to him or be nice to him, (where both would wonder if it is real or she is just trying to be polite). Bottom line, I think selflessness after displaying he was high value made him of interest to her. Of course it wasn't entirely selfless since he wanted a future interaction with her, but it was selfish in a way that was acceptable if that makes sense.
Ethereal Ember Ah, yes, the implied “social commitment” to any one number of things! I tell my daughters to avoid “free” stuff that guys are willing to give them, because it’s never truly free, and often times the price isn’t worth the trouble. I don’t think it’s sticking, though.
Maybe telling them not to drink around strangers (which could lead to trouble) would be better than telling them not to trust men's kindness in general. @@davidcerino1145
Great Power Do you normally have drinks in a bar in which you know everyone in it? Doubtful, but I wasn’t even talking about drinks (my girls aren’t old enough to drink). As a matter of fact, I’m talking about a variety of things. I tell my girls: Avoid free drinks from strangers (particularly male). Avoid free food from strangers (particularly male). Avoid having your rent paid by men. Avoid being in a situation that gives others the impression that that you owe them something Kindness exists, sure, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.
@@davidcerino1145 yeah but also, what's the worst thing that could happen after that? If a girl accepts free stuff and then refuses to interact with the guy, sure, he'll end up thinking she ows him somehow and might demand things but legally, she isn't obligated to do what he wants. And if the guy gets aggressive, he would have done so even without offering her stuff and deserves to gets the cops called on his ass.
19:46 You got this one wrong. When they met she mentioned she was a columnist at a magazine and gave her name. He sent a messenger to her office building with just her name. It would require zero searching or stalking.
yeah except it still made him look needy and they glance over that fact in the movie, in real life girls would be like "wtf? you stalked me? It didn't matter if I gave you my profession and work place, this is still stalking!!!" so in the end it still wouldn't work. It wouldn't matter if he said some "creative" lines like "so this is me, NOT CALLING", that only works in movies buddy.
@@keeperkai999 I bet it would work for will smith lol. There is a fine line between being a creep and being smooth, that like is called being attractive.
@@strongocho the difference between needy and interested is a fine line. and yeah some may think that way. But theres probably also a lot of girls that like the bold gesture thing. Its probably a nice change from the thousands of nerds dm'ing them "whats up" on snapchat.
This is such an interesting paradox to me. To "pick up" a lot of girls it seems like you would have to go quantity over quality. If you are picking up and dating high quality girls, then you would never get good at the pickup because you aren't available that often. Take myself, I have no game. I've only ever had two girlfriends in my life. I dated the first one for a year and I married the second. (Over a dozen years on I have no regrets.) I suppose it comes down to what you are looking for and value. If you are just looking for sex, then I guess you can be successful and have good "game". If you are looking for love and a family... I wonder if there are videos like this for women, that would really fascinating (to see their values, issues, and strategies).
Man...that's so true. I'm on the opposite side. I dated over 6 gf. And had an escort I picked up and became real gf for a month after years of learning pick up. But now I'm single for 4 years coz I'm sick of being serial dater
The way i see it, before i settle down i want to experience many different kinds of woman. So when the time comes, i know what actually works for me instead of what i just imagine i want but would actually suffer getting. For example, i used to really be into uber social girls, but these days, after dating a few i find that i get along much better with the less social girls. A happy side effect of course is sex with lots of women. if i'm going to commit to a girl for 10, 20, 30+ years. I want to be absolutely certain whoever i end up with is right for me. And not just what i imagine wanting.
U have a point but pick up isn't just about finding a girl ... It's also about understanding women. For married people pick up is also essential. U can see it like u r gaming your wife every single day!
You are making the same mistake many writers do for the movies. Yes there are jackasses everywhere. I remember a guy in high school, when you were talking to a bunch of girls, he would run up and say. McNicholas did you fart again? Yes, if you are good looking and charming like Bond, women will hit on you. If you are a jerk and look like Woody Allen, probably not. If you are depending upon bucks to attract women, the only ones you will get will be the Gold diggers. You would do better to sign up for a Russian dating site. I am an old geezer now so I do not care but I can still talk to young hot women by being charming. One more thing. learn to change your underwear everyday.
Me before clicking on this video: I like Will Smith I'll check this out. Me 5 mins in: Oh, that's right there's a pick up subculture I totally forgot about that.
I mean it seems gross. But here you have people consciously rethinking a better approach than a cat call. So what if it was going to happen anyway? Still gross, or a social improvement?
@@JFresh-jt3my It's better then cat calling- which I think is a little over blown its just rude- but what is better is not, therefor best. The part that fells icky is that there seems to be a forgetting that inside that figure that get you going is a person. seems a little underhanded and not in good spirits, I think.
Great breakdown of most of the interaction. One small oversight though. He walked away because he had info he needed and he had a plan to re-engage. She had told him where she worked and what department, which is where he sent the walkie-talkie and the dress. No stalking needed. He also didn't "high-level beg" he more "high-level led" because he anticipated her first two answers being no and the third day would be the one she picked. Which was all in the rest of the scene that you didn't cover. In the field of persuasion, understanding your audience plays a vital role. Truly understanding your audience allows you to anticipate their reaction to conditions, presentation, rhetoric etc. Fun breakdown Todd
I’ve seen videos along those lines and while they can be very entertaining they’re not that instructive because women will behave a lot differently when they know there is an audience and a camera on them
This is absolute gold Todd! Highly entertaining. You should make it a series I'd love to see break downs of other Hollywood ladies men, even the ridiculous over the top ones like James Bond and Barney Stinson
Yea Jeremy Meeks got girls to pay his bail to get "raped" by him cause of his "game" in his Mugshot. lol. Most men/women find certain things in the opposite sex attractive, with LITTLE subjectivity, but women ALSO want other things. 1 source: Biologist Randy Thornhill (University of New Mexico) studying faces for 15 years. “Both men and women rated symmetrical members of the opposite sex as more attractive and in better health than their less symmetrical counterparts…” Men with higher degrees of symmetry enjoy more sexual partners “…because of the way that the sexual system in humans works, women are choosey.” Women pretend looks don’t matter but dismiss below average looking men regardless of personality, many studies confirm. Example: livescience.com/58607-mens-looks-may-matter-more-than-personality.html “Women Becoming Obese At Faster Rates Than Men” www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-lazar/us-women-becoming-obese-a_b_10431802.html AND somehow: Men rate 50% of women below average looking, women rate 80% of men below average looking: Source: theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0f1561e If personality can override looks/race: There’s exceptions to every rule, especially if you’ve $ or status or the girl isn’t too outta your league etc. So rather than claim some minority of cases where “ugly” guys get “hot” girls, have an ugly/skinny Indian or Arab go in person to young/fit girls of different races or make a profile & see what % of girls flirt, give their # & agree to date/kiss etc. Show the videos. Girls will get the best they can get in the following areas, more/less in this order: handsome, tall, fit, wealthy, high status. THEN there’s some subjective, side factors like her preferred race/fashion/personality/beliefs etc. I’ll be uploading insightful/fun videos on this topic in time. Sub n stay tuned, trust me.

If you can laugh someone's ass of or charm him then you can fuck him if despite that you can't then move on there will be someone who you will be able to. And many women who are super models have dads with asymmetrical faces, brothers who aren't super good looking, so don't expect all of them to feel comfortable with someone who isn't the epitome of beauty standards. This research has a point but don't be fooled. Timing is important, charm, right place, abundance, knowing how women think, being sociable, being attractive (ofc), paying attention to detail, social proof, if you have all of this together a woman will be afraid and won't want to be close to you because people are afraid of perfection in the sense that we don't feel good enough for someone who is perfect. There are lots of things that you learn by experience and not. Taught in any books or research
@@elmerovero7528 humans have more free will to be more noble than animals. unless you have a mental or physical disability, you can too.

"If you can laugh someone's ass of or charm him then you can fuck him if despite that you can't then move on there will be someone who you will be able to." fuck "HIM" lol? but sure, if u have enough sexual market value for the people of the opposite sex you approach, u MAYBE able to fuck them. if youre an ugly, short, poor nobody: your jokes will sound less funny and at best, you will be friend zoned as the goofball. maybe after 100 tries you MIGHT get 1 or 2 average looking lays, if even that. "And many women who are super models have dads with asymmetrical faces, brothers who aren't super good looking, so don't expect all of them to feel comfortable with someone who isn't the epitome of beauty standards." youre talking points are too predictable. i literally addressed this in the 2nd to last paragraph in my last comment. why ignore? and why pretend i said u gotta be some model looking guy? i was talking about sexual market value. why pretend i didn't say there are subjective, side factors like personality>? Everything i said in this comment and especially my previous one, is based upon my personal experiences, observations of others. but since i can't prove any of that, and since ALL people's experiences n 5 senses are limited, flawed, bias, n prone to cheating etc. (including yours) i back up what im saying with scientific observations.

The drink sent scene is dope because the first dude comes up with the wrong drink then he dips all smooth guy mode while she’s interested AND THEN the CORRECT drink comes from him after he disappears. Baller ass move. Lol
meh, it shows you work hard, too hard in my opinion. He doesn't know her, why would he spend so much time thinking about her needs? She first should show some value to him.
It's still creepy. Making conversation isn't an invitation into your life, he took advantage of something he knew to bypass that imaginary bubble of her personal life, and when that happens unexpectedly, it's unsettling.
@@DavidWMiller Or he just took it a step further, keeping in mind, that she, as a gossip columnist, most likely doesn't mind to invade others people personal life during her worktime. Thus, really can't mind his little invasion to get her on the phone. He even says it out loud:"Gossip never sleeps!"
nah; stalking. They used walkie talkies, which means that they have set range and channels. He'd have to be within range as he walked (otherwise static or nothing) and also to have both handsets set to a channel that wouldn't have interference or another walkie talkie feed, in NYC no less. Both aspects would take some research.

Out of the many things that unsettle me out off these gurus, is that they develop an algorithm almost as if women were not humans but a riddle. And dude, your mustache!
It's not the girls that are templates. It's the situations and the responses. It's like if I asked you: 'hey, how's it going?' Social learning means that you'd answer positively, no matter how you're feeling. Doing something else would give you social stigma. Knowing that, you can play around a bit and affect the conversation. He mentions doing something similar in forcing the girl to choose between being impolite or continuing the conversation.
@@normandy2501 When it sucks all the energy out of the conversation and people stop talking to you because *they* Didn't. Really. Care. As in "were just being polite". If you have genuine friends/ humans that care about you, yeah, tell them you feel like shit because they can help you. If it's someone you just met, you can come across as a "I feel like shit and I'm telling you about it so you can do something about it, even though we don't know each other" type of thing.
Except that we are all machines in the end. Anyway, these are basically more refined and consciously understood social skills. Everyone develops their own technique. Most people just can't consciously explain their reasoning, and thus can't improve coherently. So there's either fit or no fit.
It's just a game of chances. Most people, presented with the same situation, respond the same way, being comfortable with the situations is crucial. You can't tailor make the approach because there are unwinnable situations and unapproachable people, you can't change that (because of various reasons: wrong day, wrong time, you remind her of her son's best friend, who knows). You just learn to accept rejections and have the best chance possible on average. They help you with the pickup, the eventual relation with that person is on you.
@@DivineAtheistWannabe its not creepy stalker game when the girl tells you she is in charge of said business all he had to do is look up where this business was. ( here: all the info you need -> 11:51

If you cold approach a girl and she tells you where she works, you dont go to her work to find her, nor deliver a package. It's fucking weird. It's like you have a chat with a dude at a bar one night and tell him you work at so-and-so and next day he comes to your workplace asking you for your Facebook. Honestly if I chatted with a girl at a bar one night and she came to my workplace the next day it would ring alarm bells that this girl is psycho.
your analysis makes so much sense. you're the real deal teacher. So many dating gurus offer oversimplified, flashy, untested, unreasonable platitudes. It's largely a status increaser for themselves but not actually helpful for most people.
I'd like to see a Tom Cruise breakdown he has some many excellent scenes of being charismatic. My favorite is the "sci-fi action romantic" Edge of tomorrow. He basically has to approach Emily Blunt's character hundreds and hundreds of times since no one remembers the previous day. It's kind of like Groundhog's Day with an amazing twists and deep story with many layers.
Please do more breakdowns like this. It’s the how I met your mother rule where so much of what’s in Hollywood is creepy in real life although some of it is actually compelling.
This is a really good idea for a video, I don't have any suggestions off of the top of my head for other movies but it was interesting to see this one broken down.
I've watched a couple of your videos but never subscribed until today, you're definitely worth watching the knowledge and experience you deliver will save us years of learning the hard way (or not learning at all) & missing lots of opportunities. people are so emotionally invested in movies and celebrities that it makes your content very potent!
That's actually a good movie, great choice but he is just high value because he is supposedly a doctor and pilot and he is good looking so it's expected
A few other PUAs on youtube have done breakdowns of "Hitch" before... not surprising though, Todd's was way more in depth and thorough. Another good example of how far ahead Todd is from the pack IMO.
What I find interesting in the comparison of "Hollywood" vs real-world pickup is the existence of the 4th wall. If he picked up that woman in the bar, he would've been exactly the same (in the eyes of the viewers) as "Chip". He's after the same thing, he's just the better snake. By walking away, he may have lost the girl, but he won the audience.
*How I approached girls that I didn't know that were rejecting everybody else was simply approached them and talk to them saying this "Look I don't wanna get here to hitting you but I'm alone cuz my friends ditched me, so I have this drink, I can shared with you and as soon as I finished I'm outta my way" then just talk with them without any pickup line, just talk about them, ask them questions about them, and when you drink is finished you have familiarity with them so they don't felt weird be with you, so you can keep the conversation, after that they invited me to another party to be with them (For this time I couldn't get to the finish line but I get more familiarity), third party I hook up with one of them*
yeah it's really weird when i hear terms like "game" when he refers to hitting on women i don't wanna sound like this is dude is super anti-feminist but he acts like "picking up" women is a step by step skill that's teachable
DO CRAIG FERGUSSON BREAKDOWN!!!I would love to hear your analysis because he uses a lot self depricating humour and statement of intent but it works amazing!!!
He is very tall good looking successful man with deep voice who is clever and have sence of humor. Thats why its working. When that kind of guy (tall, good looking ect) is also very confident and dont jokes about himself its very easy to be seen as arrogant, and full of himself. So he must be little more soft and warm, and friendly and charming.
Alex Force Wait, Craig is good-looking and successful?! :O But yeah, sure, these things help. However, I would still say it is his social skills and massive experience, that creates this attractive and fun aura around him, not looks, height or sucess.
@@matyasmichel7814 its one thing to make jokes about yourself when your own high value its so obvs to the girl. Its another if you are not socially proven. Imagine some short fat dude making fun of himself.The girl wil laught and then go and fuck someone like Tod. :)
He didn't have to stalk her, she told him where she works. All he had to do was say "deliver this to Sara Melas, a columnist in this here building where the Standard newspaper offices are" to the delivery guy and give him a big tip. The delivery guy would find her easily.
Great work! Definitely do more of this. It's great for analytical minds like ourselves. Quick tip though, when you go out of a scene to break if down, come back a little earlier so the viewer can remember where they left off.
I absolutely loved this! It is so down to earth and easy to follow. What I really like is how (as a beginner) I can recognise the unrealistic game, reminding me of it, but you also provide more advanced game advice! Please do more if you want to!
Do Tony Stark (Iron Man). He's such a badass alpha male character. You could do the "reporter scene" from the first movie (2008), where a reporter is asking him questions and he sleeps with her shortly after.
Thanks Todd, I love your "breakdowns" and analysis. Very Helpful. And I want to add, as I am a writer and actor, that I did recall that he had been told by her where she worked, and what she did, and it seemed to me very congruent and not stalker-ish that he would contact her where he did. And, I agree with you about everything else. And you are right, he was still having to win her, which would make sense in "first act" writing, because the first act is all about achieving, in this case, the win, her wanting him. And in a movie, an hour and a half, it's probably the same amount of time it takes you to win her desires. But in "story time" it has to take a few days or so, otherwise the story is over in moments.
Good stuff, Todd! I've never seen the movie - I'm interested in seeing it now. You mentioned her being alone and that the guy should always expect a friend(s) to show up at some point. That's how I met my wife. She'd gotten to the country dance bar about 30 minutes early before her friends/coworkers. At 28 years old I had zero game, poor social skills, low self esteem, and little knowledge (or trust) of women; but I approached and asked her to dance. I had no expectation of a date or sex - just to dance. With my low self esteem the idea that girls would like me and want to be with me was a foreign concept. She didn't want to dance so I asked to sit and we started a natural conversation and simply connected. Her two friends showed up and saw she was with a guy (which is what they wanted for her). We met briefly then they went their own way to leave us alone. The two of us left that bar for another one, we began dating, and the rest is history.
Haa. Good for you. Being happily married is the best. 😁 Being single can be fun...but after years of it it gets very tiring..with all the games and gone wrong dating...
If your stuff was just applicable to the "getting girls" game it would still be great, but your social analytics are actually so fundamental and widely applicable that your content is pure gold to me. thanks.
I remember doing the saving her kind of thing "we are together thing" only for the guy to ask "is he with you" She said "No" I literally died. Movie and real world are completely two different world. Really hard for both world to cut across each other. It gives me joy watching this video and realising that someone sees life from same lens as mine.
It would be awesome that he said: "So sunday?, oh actually that day I'm busy" hahaha but he won't get the girl, a good save to avoid making him look like a loser would be: -What? You don't have any plan for the weekend? -I have great plans and you can join to any or none of them"
Listening to what he asked, he didn’t specifically ask if she is free at all, more like if a specific part of a certain day would work. He purposely suggest just one activity in a particular day. Dinner (last few hours of the day) on Friday then suggest if Saturday would work instead. Then suggest if breakfast(morning) on Sunday. So yeah, I didn’t see him communicating that he is free *ALL* weekend.
I appreciated your balanced assessment of the film, and even though I'm somewhat skeptical about the concept of "game" in general, I thought your comments were realistic and helpful.
It's New York. She said she's a columnist at a certain paper. He knew her name and where she work's. This was not actually creepy in the stalker sense.
Goddamn man! Little over a year of grind, but your brand is back to the same subscribers as it was before the break! I’ve purchased a few of your old products with that company, but already got the woman ❤️ Just wanted to say thanks and congrats Todd V 🙏🏼
20:55; another great thing about the 'phonecall' is that Will is referring to the previous talk in a playful way by saying "would you mind taking down that sigh on your forehead to go out with me". This shows that you remember the conversation and makes you more interesting.
Little offtopic, but I'm curious how "Women" looks compared to "The System". I mean is it outdated compared to the new product, and due to Todd leaving rsd, having more freedom in speaking ideas?
The bar scene in Hitch has always been my favourite, it basically summed up the most fundamental aspects of game/seduction. Shit tests, push/pull & qualifiers
This is such a powerful move: The Í like you but that's only half way there. I tend to use this with girls who are seeing some one but also want to know that options are out there. It lets them know you are interested but unwilling to do "anything" to get them while also telling them hey I get it dating is rough and it doesn't always work out with a hint of hit me up if it doesn't.

I don't understand how he stalked her. She told him she works at that magazine and the department she is in so the delivery guy could at least find the floor if he asked at the entrance.

You said you thought it was strange that he sent her a drink afterwards and you weren't sure what his strategy was... As a woman it seems pretty obvious to me. When we receive drinks (at least some of us), we don't really think they are "free". There is an implication that we owe the guy a conversation at the very least because he is being "nice" which if we accept the drink but refuse to converse, it would put us in the socially negative position as being mean/taking advantage.
I usually want to turn down drinks if I feel I will be pressured to be nice even if I don't like him. What he essentially showed by sending her the drinks after he walked away, was that the drinks had no agenda, pressure or obligation for her to speak to him or be nice to him, (where both would wonder if it is real or she is just trying to be polite).
Bottom line, I think selflessness after displaying he was high value made him of interest to her. Of course it wasn't entirely selfless since he wanted a future interaction with her, but it was selfish in a way that was acceptable if that makes sense.

Ah, yes, the implied “social commitment” to any one number of things!
I tell my daughters to avoid “free” stuff that guys are willing to give them, because it’s never truly free, and often times the price isn’t worth the trouble.
I don’t think it’s sticking, though.
Maybe telling them not to drink around strangers (which could lead to trouble) would be better than telling them not to trust men's kindness in general. @@davidcerino1145
Great Power
Do you normally have drinks in a bar in which you know everyone in it?
Doubtful, but I wasn’t even talking about drinks (my girls aren’t old enough to drink).
As a matter of fact, I’m talking about a variety of things. I tell my girls:
Avoid free drinks from strangers (particularly male).
Avoid free food from strangers (particularly male).
Avoid having your rent paid by men.
Avoid being in a situation that gives others the impression that that you owe them something
Kindness exists, sure, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.
@@davidcerino1145 yeah but also, what's the worst thing that could happen after that? If a girl accepts free stuff and then refuses to interact with the guy, sure, he'll end up thinking she ows him somehow and might demand things but legally, she isn't obligated to do what he wants. And if the guy gets aggressive, he would have done so even without offering her stuff and deserves to gets the cops called on his ass.
@@greatpower6063 Drink at home women, don't go outside or you're asking for it! /s
19:46 You got this one wrong. When they met she mentioned she was a columnist at a magazine and gave her name. He sent a messenger to her office building with just her name. It would require zero searching or stalking.
yep
Exactly what I thought. All he needed was to Google the office location and send it out
yeah except it still made him look needy and they glance over that fact in the movie, in real life girls would be like "wtf? you stalked me? It didn't matter if I gave you my profession and work place, this is still stalking!!!" so in the end it still wouldn't work. It wouldn't matter if he said some "creative" lines like "so this is me, NOT CALLING", that only works in movies buddy.
@@keeperkai999 I bet it would work for will smith lol. There is a fine line between being a creep and being smooth, that like is called being attractive.
@@strongocho the difference between needy and interested is a fine line. and yeah some may think that way. But theres probably also a lot of girls that like the bold gesture thing. Its probably a nice change from the thousands of nerds dm'ing them "whats up" on snapchat.
This is such an interesting paradox to me. To "pick up" a lot of girls it seems like you would have to go quantity over quality. If you are picking up and dating high quality girls, then you would never get good at the pickup because you aren't available that often.
Take myself, I have no game. I've only ever had two girlfriends in my life. I dated the first one for a year and I married the second. (Over a dozen years on I have no regrets.)
I suppose it comes down to what you are looking for and value. If you are just looking for sex, then I guess you can be successful and have good "game". If you are looking for love and a family... I wonder if there are videos like this for women, that would really fascinating (to see their values, issues, and strategies).
Man...that's so true. I'm on the opposite side. I dated over 6 gf. And had an escort I picked up and became real gf for a month after years of learning pick up. But now I'm single for 4 years coz I'm sick of being serial dater
The way i see it, before i settle down i want to experience many different kinds of woman. So when the time comes, i know what actually works for me instead of what i just imagine i want but would actually suffer getting.
For example, i used to really be into uber social girls, but these days, after dating a few i find that i get along much better with the less social girls.
A happy side effect of course is sex with lots of women.
if i'm going to commit to a girl for 10, 20, 30+ years. I want to be absolutely certain whoever i end up with is right for me. And not just what i imagine wanting.
@@Erowens98 exactly!
U have a point but pick up isn't just about finding a girl ... It's also about understanding women. For married people pick up is also essential. U can see it like u r gaming your wife every single day!

You are making the same mistake many writers do for the movies. Yes there are jackasses everywhere. I remember a guy in high school, when you were talking to a bunch of girls, he would run up and say. McNicholas did you fart again? Yes, if you are good looking and charming like Bond, women will hit on you. If you are a jerk and look like Woody Allen, probably not. If you are depending upon bucks to attract women, the only ones you will get will be the Gold diggers. You would do better to sign up for a Russian dating site. I am an old geezer now so I do not care but I can still talk to young hot women by being charming. One more thing. learn to change your underwear everyday.

Yeah this is gross.
i think more than getting weird out with this pick up culture, its interesting looking at it as how works this thining proces
I mean it seems gross. But here you have people consciously rethinking a better approach than a cat call. So what if it was going to happen anyway? Still gross, or a social improvement?
@@JFresh-jt3my It's better then cat calling- which I think is a little over blown its just rude- but what is better is not, therefor best. The part that fells icky is that there seems to be a forgetting that inside that figure that get you going is a person. seems a little underhanded and not in good spirits, I think.
@@danielcanon7602 That's true. And you may very well end up doing both.
Great breakdown of most of the interaction. One small oversight though. He walked away because he had info he needed and he had a plan to re-engage. She had told him where she worked and what department, which is where he sent the walkie-talkie and the dress. No stalking needed. He also didn't "high-level beg" he more "high-level led" because he anticipated her first two answers being no and the third day would be the one she picked. Which was all in the rest of the scene that you didn't cover.
In the field of persuasion, understanding your audience plays a vital role. Truly understanding your audience allows you to anticipate their reaction to conditions, presentation, rhetoric etc.

Most men/women find certain things in the opposite sex attractive, with LITTLE subjectivity, but women ALSO want other things. 1 source: Biologist Randy Thornhill (University of New Mexico) studying faces for 15 years. “Both men and women rated symmetrical members of the opposite sex as more attractive and in better health than their less symmetrical counterparts…” Men with higher degrees of symmetry enjoy more sexual partners “…because of the way that the sexual system in humans works, women are choosey.”
Women pretend looks don’t matter but dismiss below average looking men regardless of personality, many studies confirm. Example: livescience.com/58607-mens-looks-may-matter-more-than-personality.html
“Women Becoming Obese At Faster Rates Than Men” www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-lazar/us-women-becoming-obese-a_b_10431802.html
AND somehow: Men rate 50% of women below average looking, women rate 80% of men below average looking: Source: theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0f1561e
If personality can override looks/race:
There’s exceptions to every rule, especially if you’ve $ or status or the girl isn’t too outta your league etc. So rather than claim some minority of cases where “ugly” guys get “hot” girls, have an ugly/skinny Indian or Arab go in person to young/fit girls of different races or make a profile & see what % of girls flirt, give their # & agree to date/kiss etc. Show the videos.
Girls will get the best they can get in the following areas, more/less in this order: handsome, tall, fit, wealthy, high status. THEN there’s some subjective, side factors like her preferred race/fashion/personality/beliefs etc.
I’ll be uploading insightful/fun videos on this topic in time. Sub n stay tuned, trust me. Or watch this:

@@airplayrule we are animals and we need to fuck to preserve our species regardless. Ugly and beautiful is subjective even though there are better choices we are animals. If you can laugh someone's ass of or charm him then you can fuck him if despite that you can't then move on there will be someone who you will be able to. And many women who are super models have dads with asymmetrical faces, brothers who aren't super good looking, so don't expect all of them to feel comfortable with someone who isn't the epitome of beauty standards. This research has a point but don't be fooled. Timing is important, charm, right place, abundance, knowing how women think, being sociable, being attractive (ofc), paying attention to detail, social proof, if you have all of this together a woman will be afraid and won't want to be close to you because people are afraid of perfection in the sense that we don't feel good enough for someone who is perfect.

@@elmerovero7528
humans have more free will to be more noble than animals. unless you have a mental or physical disability, you can too. I've seen this. explain how many people, including attractive ones, pledge a life of celibacy n live as Monks who help the needy full time? exactly.
explain why i and most guys and scientists have rarely or never heard a girl say she prefers a guy shorter than her?
"If you can laugh someone's ass of or charm him then you can fuck him if despite that you can't then move on there will be someone who you will be able to."
fuck "HIM" lol? but sure, if u have enough sexual market value for the people of the opposite sex you approach, u MAYBE able to fuck them. if youre an ugly, short, poor nobody: your jokes will sound less funny and at best, you will be friend zoned as the goofball. maybe after 100 tries you MIGHT get 1 or 2 average looking lays, if even that.
"And many women who are super models have dads with asymmetrical faces, brothers who aren't super good looking, so don't expect all of them to feel comfortable with someone who isn't the epitome of beauty standards."
youre talking points are too predictable. i literally addressed this in the 2nd to last paragraph in my last comment. why ignore? and why pretend i said u gotta be some model looking guy? i was talking about sexual market value. why pretend i didn't say there are subjective, side factors like personality>?
Everything i said in this comment and especially my previous one, is based upon my personal experiences, observations of others. but since i can't prove any of that, and since ALL people's experiences n 5 senses are limited, flawed, bias, n prone to cheating etc. (including yours) i back up what im saying with scientific observations. AND i could use religion but i notice that starts a whole new comment war, especially online.
why ignore so much from this n my last comment, n just make up stuff with 0 evidence? confirmation bias n wishful thinking?
The drink sent scene is dope because the first dude comes up with the wrong drink then he dips all smooth guy mode while she’s interested AND THEN the CORRECT drink comes from him after he disappears. Baller ass move. Lol
meh, it shows you work hard, too hard in my opinion. He doesn't know her, why would he spend so much time thinking about her needs? She first should show some value to him.
19:45"He would have had to stalk her"
11:53
Or she straight up told him where she works in a video clip you already showed earlier........
It's still creepy. Making conversation isn't an invitation into your life, he took advantage of something he knew to bypass that imaginary bubble of her personal life, and when that happens unexpectedly, it's unsettling.
@@DavidWMiller Or he just took it a step further, keeping in mind, that she, as a gossip columnist, most likely doesn't mind to invade others people personal life during her worktime. Thus, really can't mind his little invasion to get her on the phone. He even says it out loud:"Gossip never sleeps!"
nah; stalking. They used walkie talkies, which means that they have set range and channels. He'd have to be within range as he walked (otherwise static or nothing) and also to have both handsets set to a channel that wouldn't have interference or another walkie talkie feed, in NYC no less. Both aspects would take some research.

@@bigmoisture69 Me either. Damn.
Out of the many things that unsettle me out off these gurus, is that they develop an algorithm almost as if women were not humans but a riddle. And dude, your mustache!
That's what I was thinking too.
It's not the girls that are templates. It's the situations and the responses. It's like if I asked you: 'hey, how's it going?' Social learning means that you'd answer positively, no matter how you're feeling. Doing something else would give you social stigma. Knowing that, you can play around a bit and affect the conversation. He mentions doing something similar in forcing the girl to choose between being impolite or continuing the conversation.
@@normandy2501 When it sucks all the energy out of the conversation and people stop talking to you because *they* Didn't. Really. Care. As in "were just being polite".
If you have genuine friends/ humans that care about you, yeah, tell them you feel like shit because they can help you. If it's someone you just met, you can come across as a "I feel like shit and I'm telling you about it so you can do something about it, even though we don't know each other" type of thing.
Except that we are all machines in the end.
Anyway, these are basically more refined and consciously understood social skills. Everyone develops their own technique. Most people just can't consciously explain their reasoning, and thus can't improve coherently. So there's either fit or no fit.
It's just a game of chances. Most people, presented with the same situation, respond the same way, being comfortable with the situations is crucial. You can't tailor make the approach because there are unwinnable situations and unapproachable people, you can't change that (because of various reasons: wrong day, wrong time, you remind her of her son's best friend, who knows). You just learn to accept rejections and have the best chance possible on average. They help you with the pickup, the eventual relation with that person is on you.
Please do a breakdown of scenes from Crazy Stupid Love...I think Ryan Gosling gets a lot of stuff right in terms of pickup

Also that is totally stalker game and the fact you don't realise it is extremely alarming. If you cold approach a girl and she tells you where she works, you dont go to her work to find her, nor deliver a package. It's fucking weird.
It's like you have a chat with a dude at a bar one night and tell him you work at so-and-so and next day he comes to your workplace asking you for your Facebook. Honestly if I chatted with a girl at a bar one night and she came to my workplace the next day it would ring alarm bells that this girl is psycho.
your analysis makes so much sense.
you're the real deal teacher.
So many dating gurus offer oversimplified, flashy, untested, unreasonable platitudes. It's largely a status increaser for themselves but not actually helpful for most people.
I really liked this format. It's great how you put it to a visual and then broke out the description. Coming them coming.
I'd like to see a Tom Cruise breakdown he has some many excellent scenes of being charismatic. My favorite is the "sci-fi action romantic" Edge of tomorrow. He basically has to approach Emily Blunt's character hundreds and hundreds of times since no one remembers the previous day. It's kind of like Groundhog's Day with an amazing twists and deep story with many layers.
A breakdown from “CALIFORNICATION” would be superb👍🏽
Californication is a fantasy
He's famous, he's the start of the environments he participates in, he gets booty. Doesn't get any more complex than that.

A few other PUAs on youtube have done breakdowns of "Hitch" before... not surprising though, Todd's was way more in depth and thorough. Another good example of how far ahead Todd is from the pack IMO.
Todd's way of analyzing and breaking things down in an eloquent manner is excellent.
You see how experienced Todd is from that accurate analysis. I have to say that from my own experiences in game that's totally correct.
Do more Todd! I'm pretty sure that most people here would like to compare real life to the mainstream that Hollywood movies are breastfeeding us.
What I find interesting in the comparison of "Hollywood" vs real-world pickup is the existence of the 4th wall.
If he picked up that woman in the bar, he would've been exactly the same (in the eyes of the viewers) as "Chip". He's after the same thing, he's just the better snake. By walking away, he may have lost the girl, but he won the audience.
Great observation. Do you study storytelling, films etc.?
Does he have to have?
You obviously haven't seen Todd work his magic. Anybody who passively knows him would bet a million dollars that he's definitely no "Chip"

*How I approached girls that I didn't know that were rejecting everybody else was simply approached them and talk to them saying this "Look I don't wanna get here to hitting you but I'm alone cuz my friends ditched me, so I have this drink, I can shared with you and as soon as I finished I'm outta my way" then just talk with them without any pickup line, just talk about them, ask them questions about them, and when you drink is finished you have familiarity with them so they don't felt weird be with you, so you can keep the conversation, after that they invited me to another party to be with them (For this time I couldn't get to the finish line but I get more familiarity), third party I hook up with one of them*

Haha Good ear! Lol
That'd be why he stuttered! 🤣
Lol. Legend!!!
Thanks Todd, I love your "breakdowns" and analysis. Very Helpful. And I want to add, as I am a writer and actor, that I did recall that he had been told by her where she worked, and what she did, and it seemed to me very congruent and not stalker-ish that he would contact her where he did. And, I agree with you about everything else. And you are right, he was still having to win her, which would make sense in "first act" writing, because the first act is all about achieving, in this case, the win, her wanting him. And in a movie, an hour and a half, it's probably the same amount of time it takes you to win her desires. But in "story time" it has to take a few days or so, otherwise the story is over in moments.
Good stuff, Todd! I've never seen the movie - I'm interested in seeing it now. You mentioned her being alone and that the guy should always expect a friend(s) to show up at some point. That's how I met my wife. She'd gotten to the country dance bar about 30 minutes early before her friends/coworkers. At 28 years old I had zero game, poor social skills, low self esteem, and little knowledge (or trust) of women; but I approached and asked her to dance. I had no expectation of a date or sex - just to dance. With my low self esteem the idea that girls would like me and want to be with me was a foreign concept. She didn't want to dance so I asked to sit and we started a natural conversation and simply connected. Her two friends showed up and saw she was with a guy (which is what they wanted for her). We met briefly then they went their own way to leave us alone. The two of us left that bar for another one, we began dating, and the rest is history.
I LOVE THIS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THIS BREAKDOWN 😆

I remember doing the saving her kind of thing "we are together thing" only for the guy to ask "is he with you"
She said "No"
I literally died. Movie and real world are completely two different world. Really hard for both world to cut across each other.
It gives me joy watching this video and realising that someone sees life from same lens as mine.
He basically made himself seem like a loser that has no plans on the weekends. He communicated i'm free all weekend.
Focused All Day ams has a burner account here everybody
Very true!!! Good catch, I would have never pushed that far, who cares there are millions of good looking women
It would be awesome that he said: "So sunday?, oh actually that day I'm busy" hahaha but he won't get the girl, a good save to avoid making him look like a loser would be: -What? You don't have any plan for the weekend? -I have great plans and you can join to any or none of them"
Listening to what he asked, he didn’t specifically ask if she is free at all, more like if a specific part of a certain day would work. He purposely suggest just one activity in a particular day. Dinner (last few hours of the day) on Friday then suggest if Saturday would work instead. Then suggest if breakfast(morning) on Sunday. So yeah, I didn’t see him communicating that he is free *ALL* weekend.
I appreciated your balanced assessment of the film, and even though I'm somewhat skeptical about the concept of "game" in general, I thought your comments were realistic and helpful.
It's New York. She said she's a columnist at a certain paper. He knew her name and where she work's. This was not actually creepy in the stalker sense.

Goddamn man! Little over a year of grind, but your brand is back to the same subscribers as it was before the break!
I’ve purchased a few of your old products with that company, but already got the woman ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks and congrats Todd V 🙏🏼
Ehh, Will's character was just cracking a joke and it was amusing to her. Remember, logic doesn't come into play as much when it comes to flirting.
You could try breaking down some Barney from how I met your mother like some of the 'plays' he does.
22:55 Honestly what you called "begging" In the movie I think was instead super smooth and persistent I wouldn't mind it.
20:55; another great thing about the 'phonecall' is that Will is referring to the previous talk in a playful way by saying "would you mind taking down that sigh on your forehead to go out with me". This shows that you remember the conversation and makes you more interesting.
This is real fun. I have seen this type of videos but I couudn't believe I can see a pickup artist do this kind of topic. I would like to see more!
Little offtopic, but I'm curious how "Women" looks compared to "The System". I mean is it outdated compared to the new product, and due to Todd leaving rsd, having more freedom in speaking ideas?
Summary:
"I'm gonna over explain obvious situations that were clearly laid out in a movie"
😂😂😂😂👍
also, "its funny because its exactly what I usually do"...
very interesting insights !!!!!!
The bar scene in Hitch has always been my favourite, it basically summed up the most fundamental aspects of game/seduction. Shit tests, push/pull & qualifiers
This is such a powerful move: The Í like you but that's only half way there. I tend to use this with girls who are seeing some one but also want to know that options are out there. It lets them know you are interested but unwilling to do "anything" to get them while also telling them hey I get it dating is rough and it doesn't always work out with a hint of hit me up if it doesn't.
Do 40 Year Old Virgin it's about a 40 year old virgin who learns game from his friends to find the love of his life you'll probably love it and hate it at the same time.
Yea Jeremy Meeks got girls to pay his bail to get "raped" by him cause of his "game" in his Mugshot. lol.
Most men/women find certain things in the opposite sex attractive, with LITTLE subjectivity, but women ALSO want other things. 1 source: Biologist Randy Thornhill (University of New Mexico) studying faces for 15 years. “Both men and women rated symmetrical members of the opposite sex as more attractive and in better health than their less symmetrical counterparts…” Men with higher degrees of symmetry enjoy more sexual partners “…because of the way that the sexual system in humans works, women are choosey.”
Women pretend looks don’t matter but dismiss below average looking men regardless of personality, many studies confirm. Example: livescience.com/58607-mens-looks-may-matter-more-than-personality.html
“Women Becoming Obese At Faster Rates Than Men” www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-lazar/us-women-becoming-obese-a_b_10431802.html
AND somehow: Men rate 50% of women below average looking, women rate 80% of men below average looking: Source: theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0f1561e
If personality can override looks/race:
There’s exceptions to every rule, especially if you’ve $ or status or the girl isn’t too outta your league etc. So rather than claim some minority of cases where “ugly” guys get “hot” girls, have an ugly/skinny Indian or Arab go in person to young/fit girls of different races or make a profile & see what % of girls flirt, give their # & agree to date/kiss etc. Show the videos.
Girls will get the best they can get in the following areas, more/less in this order: handsome, tall, fit, wealthy, high status. THEN there’s some subjective, side factors like her preferred race/fashion/personality/beliefs etc.
I’ll be uploading insightful/fun videos on this topic in time. Sub n stay tuned, trust me. Or watch this:
AMAZING Secrets: What REALLY Attracts Women: th-cam.com/video/EFnJMPQow7A/w-d-xo.html
@@airplayrule The order is more like: wealthy, handsome/fit, tall. High status is basically a given if you're rich tho so I don't know if that counts as a category on it's own. No ugly person is going to attract beautiful people. That's just obvious and anyone that needs to be told that is an idiot.
@@s.a.8548 attracting women with wealth works for goldiggers, n they usually are using u, cheating, divorcing etc. and it's usually more likely as women age n want a provider. but people wana believe money matters more cause it's more likely u gain wealth than fix your face.
u can be a famous youtuber or rocker etc. without looks n money. let's say mike tyson's looks n money degraded into mediocre. his status can attract women. he was a champ. though looks n money do create status usually.
wait for future vids on my channel airplayrule for details/facts on this or for now, watch WAW 1.4 n enjoy. trust me.
To be fair, she did tell him where she worked so he wasn't exactly stalking.
Regarding the shit test near the beginning, what would you have said in chips situation upon receiving that particular shit test?
Literally anything, just as long you don't actually analyse what she said or look phased by it. Preferably with humor and condescension.
To pass the shit test, Chip could have said, “Why would I want them to stop? It’s a cool name!”
Just give a subtle and witty comeback like "Yeah my name is Chip, cause my throbbing schlong is about to go all in your poopbox". Might playfully argue that my schlong is the best schlong and she's wrong denying me entry into her pooper. I keep my frame.
I'd say something along the lines of 'yeah only my friends call me that, for now you can call me... some boring name or Mr Smith etc
@@an.drew_ Wayyyy too try hard
This format is AMAZING
I'll never understand why this was recommended to me, but I'm actually completely hypnotized with this guy's analysis.
I was with you up to the part where y said he'd have to Google search her. She flat out told him exactly what her job, title, and desk was.
Guess you missed it. Are you sure you're a life coach? Didn't pay attention.
I hate the word creepy, and from a guy it's triple annoying.
He clearly doesn’t actually care about women. he ignores the actual personal details 😬
If you want a suggestion, Alfie the Jude Law one
Great analysis
I don't understand how he stalked her. She told him she works at that magazine and the department she is in so the delivery guy could at least find the floor if he asked at the entrance.
Great video btw. Do more of these Hollywood movie breakdowns. Because we know that some stuff in movies at bs and it'd be good for guys to see what can work in reality.
Hi Todd, this is funny because Peter Frahm (Life Coach from Germany) did a similar video about the Hitch scenes.
Great video!
Your Video is the one with more details and the social dynamics was better explained. Thank you!
can't believe people watch these 'game' videos like its really interesting and he is right about a lot of what he is saying but there is no way someone can watch this and actually put this into practice, you only learn the confidence and strategy to chat up girls from doing it.
Doing what? Saying what?
She goes to the bar regularly enough the bartender knows her drink and she told him her name and what she did and where she works.
She the type of women that guys would never approach
Ever see " Tao of steve"? Its a movie about a guy that gets all of this stuff.
First video I’ve seen from you, but I love the format. Would definitely keep watching if there are going to be more.
First video I'm watching on your channel i tried not to click it but the thumbnail and title was quite enticing. As a fellow TH-camr i must say good job.
