Being detached from outcome


What does it mean to be detached from outcome?

Being detached from outcome means you are not attached to any outcomes or desires.

When you are detached from outcome you have a lot less let downs in life because you aren’t attached to outcomes or desires. When you expect specific results and they have to be EXACTLY the way you want it, down to every last little micro detail, when ever they don’t go exactly as planned your positive state is disrupted and replaced with anger, anxiety, doubt, fear and many other unappealing emotions.

How does this apply to pick up?

When you are talking to women and you depend on outcomes such as you making her laugh, having sex with her, getting along with her you’ll generally end up repelling the things you want away from you. This will usually happen because when you depend on the outcome you become needy, desperate, and validation seeking.

Instead of getting caught up in the outcomes, don’t let how things unfold affect your emotions or mood, roll with the punches, re-calibrate to the situation, and keep moving forward. You’ll usually find that this mindset will not only help you produce better results but keep you happy for what get, and not freaking out about what’s not going exactly how you would like it to.

Now this doesn’t mean you can’t want things, you can, but don’t be fixated on to many specific details because in life things change. What you might want badly today could be a faded memory tomorrow, like when you really want a girl, then you objectively look at the situation and realize getting with her would have been a huge mistake.

If you were attached to the outcome of being with her you would still try to make it work even if you know it wont, which will cause you turmoil instead of you getting to move forward on to better things. Being detached from outcome is crucial for pick up because it cuts down the amount of needy and validation-seeking behaviors you exhibit which ruin you interaction.

Being self-entertained vs. seeking validation


Being self-entertained vs. seeking validation, what’s the difference? One is a path to happiness the other is a path to misery and neediness.

Becoming self-entertained is one of the greatest achievements you can ever have in life. If you’re self-entertained you’ll never be bored because you don’t need external factors for your amusement, you’re able to self generate positive emotions, thoughts, and actions. If you can self generate positive emotions you are less susceptible to other people and the surrounding environments bringing your sense of state down.

Think about it if you are outcome dependent and need someone to validate what your saying and doing, every time you don’t get the validation it brings your state down because you didn’t get the validation you need. This usually ends with you becoming needy because you keep trying things to get the validation, and in the process of doing so you will most likely turn the person off and make them want to get away from you as soon as possible, because no one likes a social leech.

Being a social leech is not the best way to live your life. Being a social leech is not ideal because when you leech your emotions off other people your happiness depends on them, they control when you are happy or not, that’s a horrible way to live! Whereas you could self generate the positive emotions and entertain your self, which would lead to a more happy life because even if the person your speaking to doesn’t like or agree with what you said or did it doesn’t matter because you didn’t do it for them you did it for you!

Don’t do or say things to get a reaction out of people do it for your self, do it because it will make you happy, do it because you actually enjoy it, this will give you an abundance of happiness and joy in your life that no one can take from you. So to sum up unless you want to lead a miserable pitiful existence where other people have control over your emotions DO NOT SEEK VALIDATION! Seeking validation will not bring you happiness. Being a self-entertained person will always leave you with an abundance of positive emotion that will lead to a more enjoyable happy life.

The Attraction Formula


(C-R)+Q+SE = Attraction

If you don’t know what breaking rapport or qualification is please refer to my blogs on those topics before reading this to make this blog easier to understand.

What is it?
What does (C-R)+Q+SE = Attraction mean? To break it down C is comfort, R is rapport, Q is Qualification, and SE is sexual escalation.  So when applying it to this model building comfort plus breaking rapport plus qualification equals the attraction between friends and people you want to network with and when you add sexual escalation in the mix it creates the attraction you need to seduce someone you want to be more than friends with.

Because this blog is a school project I will not be covering sexual escalation in this blog, however I will publish a blog on sexual escalation in January after this project is over so stay tuned in.

How do you use it?

When you first meet a person you need to build comfort with them, think about it when you’re with your friends you can say highly inappropriate things to them and they wont get mad but if you were to go up to them with out knowing them and say the same things it could end up with you getting into an altercation, well why is that? You can do this with your friends and not random strangers because they’re comfortable with you. Building comfort is crucial to building relationships because a person who isn’t comfortable being around you is not going to want to interact with you or see you again. To build comfort you need to build rapport with the person.

Once a sufficient amount of rapport is built its time to start breaking rapport. Building comfort is good but if your entire interaction is you building comfort it’ll end up being bland and not something to remember so break rapport to keep things interesting. While you’re building comfort you should be qualifying the person to see if they’re even worth spending time building comfort with. Also apposed to you trying to control the conversation and topics you speak about use qualification to find things the person actually wants to talk about. When you do this you don’t end up being the only one talking. A lot of the time when a person isn’t really being talkative the problem is that you’re not talking to them about things they are interested in so they don’t have much to respond with. If you ask them about something they’re interested in the person can talk for days about it because they know about it and they’re passionate about it, which will lead to a much better conversation. Doing all this with a person successfully should build attraction between you and that person unless through the qualification process you find out you don’t like each other.

Qualification



Qualification, what is it?

Qualification is assessing whether a person is a potential fit for a product or service you have. Qualifying is the act of assessing if something or someone is a proper fit for you. You can think of qualifying as a filtration process, you’re filtering out bad qualities you don’t want until your find a suitable match with the qualities you want.


How do you use it?

Everyone has qualifiers; you need to identify the qualifiers in people you want such as: the person does not have a negative personality, they have a sense of humor, they share similar values, they’re into yoga. Once you know what you're looking for you know what questions to ask, so instead of wasting a whole night or even worse getting into a relationship with someone that’s not suited for you for months or even years, you can reduce all of that time into minutes by simply asking qualifying questions in your first interaction with the person to determine whether or not you should invest your time in that person.

Why is it important?

Plain and simple if you do not qualify, you will not find what you are looking for!
If you don’t qualify people, your dating life will pretty much be a stab in the dark, always getting in and out of bad relationships or not even being able to form a relationship because you have no clue what you want! Think about it how can you get what you want if you don’t know what you’re looking for? And even if you do know what you’re looking for how can you find it if you don’t filter your interactions for the things that you’re looking for?

Example

Say for example a woman, who only likes attractive, wealthy guys that live a fast flashy lifestyle, and are only concerned about superficial things, wants a serious relationship and love. She is wondering why she is constantly cheated on and used by men, then left for the next girl. The reason why she is getting cheated on and used so frequently is because she isn’t qualifying for men that are looking for long term loving relationships, she’s qualifying the type of men who generally will cheat on women and not care because of the lifestyle they live and the values they hold. It’s not that all guys are dogs like some women like to say, it’s the guys that they pursue who are dogs, and if they would like to find a guy who wont cheat or abuse them they need to change they’re qualifiers.

Instead of only qualifying for who can buy her love she should be qualifying for who will build the love with no price tags attached, instead of only who is physically attractive, look for a combination of both aesthetics and inner beauty with more emphasis on inner rather than outer to name a few.  Now in a new scenario say it was a man trying to find the good loving relationship things he would qualify are the types of women to avoid such as gold diggers, players, spoiled brats, and party girls. You want to avoid these types of women because they usually have characteristic traits like being selfish, needy, insecure, and untrustworthy which make them undesirable girl friends.

You've got to Build Rapport!



Here's a video of infield footage and a break down by Adam lyons of why it is important to build rapport and not only ask questions.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Be the fun cool guy; don’t put her on a pedestal!


When you’re out in a social setting it’s important to remember to just be the fun cool guy.

Now what does that mean exactly?

It means just go out and have fun, be self-entertained, remaining detached from outcome, not drawing your sense of state and happiness from others around you, and not being affected negatively by external factors. 

What a lot of guys looking to pick up women tend to do when they go out is they forget the main reason they came out was to have fun, they instead get stuck in “PUA mode” and get caught up in trying to make everything work or get certain results. Consequently getting stuck in your head will usually ruin the interaction.

Remember when you’re going out, you are going out to have fun! You shouldn’t feel pressured to prove your self to the women or anyone else in your environment. When you’re in an interaction you should be coming from the frame of you just being a cool guy, having fun that’s just putting him self out there, and giving her a chance to indulge in the fun with you and prove if she’s good enough for you.

Where a lot of guys go wrong is they get so caught up in external beauty that they’ll do anything to get it and obsess over the girl, even though the girl is totally wrong for them. Thinking that they’re not enough or that she’s better then them they become needy; needing the interaction to go well, they start qualifying them self’s to her because they put her on a pedestal.

Guy’s remember no girl is better then you! Everyone on this planet is equal.  Think about it, most guys think or feel that she’s better because she’s “hot”; well think about this what’s going to happen 40 years from now when she’s old and ugly? The only thing that is going to be left is her true self. If she was a nice good person she will still be beautiful, if she on the other hand was a horrible scumbag that just so happened to be hot she’ll be looking real ugly when her external beauty is gone. So don’t put any girl on a pedestal, at the end of the day she’s just a girl, she isn’t better than you because of how she looks or what reproductive organs she has.

When your approaching women come from the buyer’s perspective not the sellers. You aren’t going up trying to sell your self to them, you’re using qualification to see if she’s worthy of being around you, now with this you need to know what you want in a women (not physical attributes!) so that you know what to qualify her on, and what requirements she needs to meet for you to deem her worthy of your time and effort. Remember when you first glance at someone you don’t know that person you don’t know their status or what their like; all you know is that you would or wouldn’t mind getting to know them and that they may or may not be physically attractive so don’t assume they are better than you, because that hot girl could easily be weirder, more insecure, and have a bigger list of issues than you.

Breaking Rapport & Pre Opening/opening multiple sets to Build Attraction Part 2


Pre Opening/opening multiple sets

Pre opening a lot of people in the venue early in the night is a very powerful way of setting up your night for success.

What is pre opening? Pre opening is opening a set that lasts less than 10 seconds, if you stay in the interaction more then 10 seconds you’re just doing a regular opener.

Pre opening can be as simple as using a functional opener to ask where the bathroom is, giving them a quick compliment, or sharing a fun or funny moment with the person then breaking rapport, if you break rapport with a person and leave a positive image of you in their head & it’ll be easier for you to approach them later.

What are the results of pre opening a set and the interaction going well? Hopefully they will remember you from earlier on and instead of thinking who is this random stranger trying to talk to me, they’ll remember the positive memory of you and they’ll most likely be warm and friendly towards you instead of being closed guarded and hostile.

Now how do you use this affectively to set your night up for success? Well when you go into a venue you’re usually not in the party state and you need to warm up to get in state; pre opening can be your warm up because it is low pressure and not a big deal. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you aren’t in the social state, you haven’t talked to anyone in the venue and the first person you try to go up to is the “10” in the club, it is probably not going to go well for you. You’ll probably be to intimidated to do it and you’ll waste your night just standing in the corner trying to get your self to do it.  Then if you finally muster up the courage to approach you are most likely going to be feeling a lot of overwhelming anxiety and nervousness because you haven’t talked to anyone prior to going up to the most intimidating person in the venue, you’ll get stuck in your head instead of being present to the moment, and eventually end up getting blown out. Instead of approaching the most intimidating set in the club, you should just go around and pre open a bunch of people, it could be anybody, this will increase your social momentum with every approach and quickly get you in the social mood, it will also build your social proof because people will see you going around talking to women having fun, and by the time you finally get to the “10” approaching and talking to her will be nothing for you because you’ve been having fun talking to people all night.

Another way of using this is lining up interactions you want to have later on, for example say there are multiple women in the venue you’d like to get to know, instead of leaching on to one and following her around all night, not approaching anyone else hoping it’ll work out between the two of you, you can pre open them all in the beginning of the evening, give a reason for you guys to meet up later, then you can meet up later for the reason you told them. If you do that you have multiple sets who will most likely welcome you with open arms instead of judging stares which makes your life much easier.


Something that is crucial to remember that a lot of guys forget when they go out is that you can come back to a set that you’ve opened, you don’t need to stick around all night. Go out and have numerous interactions.

If your talking to a women earlier on in the night she might want to end the experience with you and do something else; it doesn’t always mean you did something wrong. Think about it people go threw a lot of hassles to get all dressed up and look their best when they come out, they don’t want to only chill with the first person they talk to or have only one experience, they want multiple good experiences throughout the night. That’s why it is important to know when to break rapport and to not get to upset if things are going good and she breaks rapport with you. It’s perfectly fine to break rapport and come back later, the women will most likely appreciate the fact that you don’t leach on to her and be more attracted to you because you going around talking to multiple women and having a good time with out her which builds your social proof because it shows you’re a man in demand that other women want.

Opening multiple sets in the night will help increase your chances of success. Say you’ve lined up your interactions using pre opening and now your going back to those sets trying to close; because you have multiple options to choose from, if during the interaction you find out you are not that interested in that person you can cut off the interaction and go to another one that way you don’t have to waste your time and effort on someone you have no interest in. Also if you get multiple contact details for example 10 if two numbers flake on you, you still have the other 8 so your night wasn’t the complete waste of time it would have been had you only interacted with one women that night.

To sum up pre opening is a great way to get into state quickly, build social momentum, build social proof, and line up interactions. Opening multiple sets increases your rate of success because you have more options, and breaking rapport at the right time is a way to make sure she wants to see you again apposed to running away when she see’s you again.

Breaking Rapport & Pre Opening/opening multiple sets to Build Attraction Part 1


Breaking Rapport
Building and breaking rapport can be a very powerful tool when building attraction. When you’re having a conversation with someone there are peaks and dull points in the interaction. What a lot of guys do is break rapport during the dull point of the conversation; but doing this will usually leave you with undesirable results.

Don’t break rapport during a dull moment or you will leave a dull negative memory of you in her head, you should instead break rapport during a high peak in the interaction. A lot of guys might be thinking why would you break rapport when it’s going good?

Well think about this, say for example someone gave you a piece of cake, and that piece of cake was the most delicious mouth watering slice of heaven you have ever tasted in you life; the very thought of that cake makes your mouth water, and you feel the same euphoric feeling you got when you first bit into it. Now imagine having them take back their cake and you have to sit there and watch them enjoy eating it. In that scenario what is most likely to happen is you would crave more cake because it was so good but you didn’t get enough, and now you can’t wait for the chance to taste it again. You might even go out of your way to try and get some more.

Well when you break rapport with a woman at a high point in the interaction the same thing happens, she is left with a good, fun, positive image of you and when the person remembers you, they remember experiencing the fun positive emotions that they want to feel. Braking rapport at a high point will leave her wanting more of what she can’t have and hopefully thinking of getting some more.  This will also demonstrate high value to the girl, it shows her that she isn’t the center of your world and you wont just drop everything you where doing to be with her all night like every other guy. Your time is valuable and limited; this is reflected by your need to go because you have your prior engagements you have to attend to, or you needing get back to your friends, what ever reason you come up with for breaking rapport. Your not worried that you wont see her again so your not nervous about breaking this interaction and going around having other ones, allowing her to do the same because you’re a cool confident guy, which are things women are attracted to.

So remember when you’re talking to women at a venue its ok to walk away and have other interactions, don’t be the annoying guy who follows her around all night until she can’t stand you and is looking for excuses to get away from you, or leave at a dull point. Break rapport when it is going good say something like “ You know what, I’m being really rude to my friends I should really get back to them, so lets exchange contact info because I really want to continue this conversation with you later” then give her a hug and get back to your friends or go open a new set.

I hope you’ve enjoyed part one of this two part blog on breaking rapport and have found it helpful, stay tuned in for part two on pre opening as it will have information that will add on to what you learned in this post and give you insights on how to enhance those skills and have a great night out.
