I used to have demons in my room at night. Desire. Despair. Desire. So many monsters. – Annie Lennox

I’m coming off a fantastic weekend. Just finished teaching a workshop. It was beautiful. The best part about it was really connecting with the guys. Being a big brother to them. Seeing them change and grow. Seeing them struggle and overcome.

I don’t normally listen to my ipod on the way to work anymore. It’s too anti-social. I usually talk to a girl or so on the subway train in the morning on the way to work. It’s the best way to start off the day.

This morning is different. I have my headphones on. And I’m listening to slow sentimental music. And I feel great. I don’t even care Read the rest of this entry »

At the Art of Attraction workshop in New York this weekend, Comcast was filming segments for cable TV. They’d filmed us teaching the guys in workshop. That night they were going out with us to catch the guys in action.

I was taking a student out into the field to be filmed on camera. He was going to try to work the magic he’d learned in the workshop.

But the night before had been a rough ride for him. He’s a muscular black guy who was intimidating as hell for a lot of the girls. He was just too much. On top of that, he easily got down on himself when approaches didn’t go well. And that was without cameras.

As we exited the subway, the camera crew gathered around him. Three guys crowded around him wiring him up with a camera and microphone.

From the look on his face, they may as well have been strapping a bomb to him. He was scared as hell. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently read Tucker Max’s book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. Aside from being highly entertaining, it provides some rare insight into the mindset of a true Natural. A drunken, funny scumbag of a Natural, but still a true Natural. If you haven’t read the book, I recommend it. It’s a quick and fun read.

Just from reading it, you can tell that this guy has massive game. The book doesn’t provide much in the way of practical advice on succeeding with women, but the insight into the his alpha character is priceless.

This book has become super popular. My brother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas this year. I gave him a copy of Neil Strauss’s The Game last year. (I’m assuming your read this. If not, get it now!).

What’s interesting is that on TuckerMax.com, Tucker reviews the game. You can tell Tucker knows what the fuck he’s Read the rest of this entry »

The best way to consistently ensure you have fun, positive interactions with the women you approach is to have a routine stack. A stack is a memorized set of things to say when you approach the girl.

You might say you want to be ‘natural.’ You don’t want to have a script. You might be saying, “C’mon, man, you say to be a better version of yourself, not use someone else’s corny, canned lines.”

Hell, you probably are creative and funny. I say use situational openers all you want.

A stack is for fallback. And believe me, you will need fallback.

You will need fallback at the most important moment: when you see a scorching hot girl, as hot as any girl you’ve ever approached, your mind WILL go blank. You will say to yourself “Oh my god, I don’t have an opener.” Read the rest of this entry »
