  • Sometimes I get students whose issue is not entirely girl specific. They just haven't been social in general. Even talking to guys is scary or difficult. With that in mind, I made this video to help out with baseline conversation.

      Hey Todd I need some help. Girls seem to be really attracted to me at first and even go as far as driving me places. However as time goes by, they seem to be fighting that attraction. They will literally tell me they find me attractive but then avoid me. What is going on? And what should I do to fix this?

      Big fan of your content! Avid watcher, first time commenter. You say you answer questions from TH-cam, so I have one for you: What are some ways to effectively game on public transit? On the subway, train and bus for example. This has always been very difficult for me and I would love to get some advice to improve.
      Much love from Canada!

      @@RayRay-ow1bb That's because this video represents only 20% of game. It teaches only the narrative of conversations. The other 80% is the most important: you having more value than females. You can have a perfect conversation, but if she believes you have low-value, she'll dismiss you. The opposite is true: you can have a BS conversation, but if you show high-value, she'll feel attraction. Having value basically means you have good looks, self-confidence, and if possible, money - which is not necessary but will elevate you to an unatainable level, if you already have good looks and self-confidence. That's game in a nutshell. More about your unspoken power than your words. 80% of it. Conversations are 20%. I have attracted hot girls by not making one single praise, only with indifference - they love it cause they're so used to getting praised all the time. Thnx mate.

      Speak like what you say matters because people do not give af. And if you’re thinking about what to say, you’re not being yourself. You’re conforming to some bullshit ideal about what kind of person you should be. Which is why guys get blown off by girls. You’re faking it.

    Making funny answers is a state you can get into, and it has helped me a lot this semester
    -Believe in your ability to be right

    All that "get in state" rsd tips? Didn't do me nothing
    Watch a video on how to grind with a girl like the creep I am? Done me wonders
    Sometimes, we already know the answer to our problems, but we think other people have a better answer, so we go to them first. But sometimes, you are right, and they are not, and that's more often than you believe, and people love that in a person

    Great timing! Please make more videos expanding on this topic. I’m currently struggling with having general conversations especially at a new job I just started two weeks ago (I work in a manufacturing warehouse with a bunch of older mechanical engineers and ex-military guys) Due to the nature of where I work people often give each other man-to-man shit-tests and there’s a lot of witty, giving you a hard time type bantering that I’m having a hard time handling, and I notice that I lose respect from other men because I’m not used to handling it. I want to be respected from my coworkers and be able to joke around and build rapport but I feel that I automatically become anxious and freeze up not having a lot to say when other guys give me shit or try to joke around especially when I’m in a work environment. I’m used to communicating in a straight forward, somewhat serious, logical get things done manner in work situations. How can I break out of this habit?

    It's nice to have these videos for a reminder that you're doing things right in your life with women and other people. Don't let other people bring y'all down for wanting to be amazing, guys. This serves me on both a self-esteem level and a practical level as certain things even I didn't know are in this video. I feel confident around women / people, but even then I still fail and get what I want: so it's not always a feeling of confidence, it's having the competence as well. That's what I personally need to work on, y'all probably benefit from this in whatever way. Either practicality-wise or emotionally.

    main takeaway: trust your perspective, who you are has value to offer in conversation. Else, you will constantly censoring and monitoring what you are saying and locked up and not have much to say. convo is exchange of thought. this helps you be more relatable and charismatic.
    take interest in other person. most interesting person in conversation for them is them.

    To anyone struggling with having good "normal" conversation, an obvious thing that is often overlooked is checking out the amazing books on the subject :
    - Skill with People - Les Giblin (I start with this one because it's very short to read and straight-to-the point, you can find it for free on google) and
    - How To Talk to Anyone - Leil Lowndes (REFERENCE book on the subject; very easy to read; 92 tips)
    - The Fine Art of Small Talk - Debra Fine (another REFERENCE book that is amazing)
    - How To Win Friends and Influence People (it's probably THE best communication book EVER but I put it last because it's not an easy read. But you can easily read great summaries of it online to start off with)
    I truly believe that if you pick a few books from this list, take notes from them and apply the tips in your everyday interactions, ANYONE can get really good really fast at conversation. And any pickup artist worth a salt will tell you that it is 80% of game (yes, just being good at conversation in general, aka being a cool guy)
    Good luck my fellow friends! :)

      My suggestion would be find something your good at or a hobby to get good at. Something you can see your progress and success so that you can become assured of your abilities. I used to think how can I be with someone when I don't workout, play video games, don't talk to anyone but my small group of friends, etc. Now I disciplined myself through taking Taekwondo classes and go to the gym a lot. I try to go out of my way to talk to girls in my classes or familiar with. The idea is to make yourself better for you, not for girls or anyone else, unless maybe your girlfriend or wife aka someone your already attached to. If you can't be good enough without girls then why should you be with girls? If you think I'm wrong, just let me know.

      Wolfodile figure out what you want. Want sex? Escalate. Want a relationship? Be a little more boyfriendy. Sometimes you may want both from one chick. Just do something though. Don’t think about it too much.
      You may not even be attracted to the girls you get attention from, maybe you just like validation. That’s cool too.
      Just figure what you want from who you want.
      If you’re asking how to escalate to sex... just let your animal instinct takeover. Get alone time with her. Kiss her, touch her. Tease her.
      Bottom line... don’t think

The reason in my head being (1. She gets to see that I actually have a life through my Snapchat stories, and 2. There is usually less resistance when I’m asking for Snapchat.) is this a good or bad idea? Is a number close better, or is closing via social media fine as well?

      Get her number. If you have her #, you can skirt the line of dudes by nutting up and calling her and asking her out. Then you can add her on SC (if you want) after you guys have met up. However, there's a double whammy there because you may exhibit behaviors that she *might* view as needy (viewing/commenting on her stories, namely). Also there's a chance that your stories may turn her off.

      There's also a probability that she will see your stories and think that she's "figured you out" (i.e. become disinterested because you're not new and exciting) and phase you out, even if she finds the stories interesting/attractive.

    I think a good point is you are not going to vibe with every girl you meet. If you vibe there will be no trouble communicating but if there is a clear difference between you two i.e. maybe you're down to earth and she has a high ego, then vibing will be much harder. Just let go of the girls it doesn't work with and focus on the girls it does.

    I'm so grateful for your videos Todd. The System is amazing too! My question is, how do I open girls on the street when there isn't really anything to go off or anything I can comment on for observational openers/teases? I find it difficult to open girls unless I see something I can comment on or perhaps make a tease about, like the way she's walking or what shes wearing etc. This is causing me to miss out on so many good opportunities, unless I just open with a direct opener/compliment which gives my power away.

    • @Protestan88
      @Protestan88 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Street opening is tricky depending on the culture of where you are. I'd suggest following the person until they get into a store. If they get into their car to leave, let it go. Unless they're window shopping or just strolling, people (men and women) tend to not want to be bothered. It may have to do with their mind being in turmoil, being in a hurry or just not in the mood to make new friends. People are way more open when they are bored than when they are busy.

Generally don’t comment or tease about anything “looks” related. Negging is for fucking chumps. Show some intelligent banter.

I've had many successes and failures, and after each rise and fall I swear I grow harder and harder and thus boring. I feel like I've had the same conversation 100 times over even though I'm meeting different people. I'm content settling into a more monk life existence where I kind of just stay present and do the right logical thing, but the pure thrill of it all seems to have diminished for me. Is that just part of growing up as a man, or do certain people sustain that childlike joy?

      Dude it's impossible to completely avoid them. HPV can't even br tested for in men. And herpes is transmitted from skin to skin contact. So you'd never know what happened. Everything else, a girl could test for beforehand and it might no show immediately, so you could still get it. Risk is apart of the game. Just use condoms like you should and vet women properly

    How do you keep pace in conversation with girls you meet while with friends? My buddy is a really charismatic guy and even when I’m out with him and his gf together he’s always pulling anyone I meet into his conversation and I end up on the perimeter.

      Don't think of pulling when you're out with him. Think of it this way, if a bunch of MMA fighters accost you two, and your buddy has a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, are you gonna get in his way trying to act tough?
      Also, him being with his gf gives him social proof. Girls see that he has value as a potential bf and it also takes the edge off since they don't get awkward in front of him since they feel more comfortable 'cause he doesn't seem to have an agenda.

I haven’t seen her since summer so I I started talking together and we hit it off great, she responded almost instantly to my texts when it normally took her at least 10 mins. However whenever I asked her to hang she said she couldn’t. I trustworthy source told me that she had a lot of shit currently going on in her life and isn’t looking for a relationship. I would normally move on but she has all the qualities I like and there is a lot of potential. I understand that she may not be looking for a relationship right now but I want to keep the attraction there. How do I do that/keep asking her to hang without looking desperate (I asked twice but the first was a last-minute thing). It appears I am doing nothing wrong in doing and it is her situation that is the problem. What do you recommend? Thanks!

    • @jackerylel

      Decide to have her as just a friend, and treat her like she's just a friend.

      Being charismatic is to be playful and being masculine. Being masculine has to do with being a figure with many qualities like Driven, Decisive, Calm and Assertive. So what does it mean to be playful? Be a person who isn’t negative. Be inquisitive about people, ideas, classes you’re taking; be adventurous; seek to do exciting things; work hard in your school and career but be light hearted and easy going; generally speaking, being playful is associated with being positive. In a world in which everyone’s brain leans negative and always tries to assume the worst, be a person who MAKES AN EFFORT to be playful.

    People have a tendency to get inside their own heads and hyper-fixate on what we think we NEED to say next. Relish in the conversation and don't overthink it. Enjoy the ride! Conversation becomes a chore otherwise, and even if you do achieve the end goal (whether that's sex, a relationship, etc.) you will not be comfortable with the other person.
    It's happened to me where I've established a link but from there on out I'm not acting authentically.

  • @Jemand-if5dj
    @Jemand-if5dj 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This question might be little specific, but could probably be tranferred to other examples:
    I just saw a daygame infield with a direct approach and after about half a minute, and after the girl reacted kind of closed off and shy, the guy said "Don't worry I'm not dangerous.", with kind of a serious tone even. Is this line, directly implying, and telling the girl, that she doesn't have to worry, a good or considering her initial reaction, even nessecary thing to say in order to continue with a direct transition into a man to woman frame (or a stonger one), or is a line like that implying the idea, that you could be dangerous (creepy/ etc.) and because you are bringing it up, more likely to seem like you're trying to convince the girl, that you're not?
    Therefore, should you convince her in more subtle ways that she can be loose around you and what would those be if she is currently really stifled and intimidated?
