Approaching Large Groups is Easier Than You Think

24 07 2007

Recently I coached PickUp 101’s The Art of Attraction workshop in Los Angeles. I was out with a very outgoing student named Matt on Saturday night on the Sunset Strip. We walked out of a club into the dining area of the hotel and I saw a table of five women drinking beer.

“You’ve got balls tonight, right?” I asked him.

“Why, what do you see?”

My Interview on ApproachAnxiety.com

19 06 2007

Check out my interview with Eric a.k.a. Disco at ApproachAnxiety.com.

From the post:

“A lot of guys get into this thinking that they’ll be happier when they can meet more women, or when they can be dating several women simultaneously, or when they get a girlfriend.

I think what they realize is that they are looking for something bigger, they’re looking for a sense of satisfaction in their lives.

Sure, beautiful women are a big part of that. I know they are for me. I’m really interested in having great friends in my life and women that I’m really attracted to, but for me there’s a lot more to it than that.”

You Had Me at Hello: The Most Important Social Skill You’ll Ever Need

31 05 2007

I recently traveled to Costa Rica with a friend of mine. Despite being a dating and social skills coach for PickUp 101, I learned something that surprised me about meeting people:

All I really needed to do was say hello.

Now this may sound obvious, but how often do we see someone we’d like to talk to and say nothing? How often do we chastise ourselves for days when a simple word would have allowed us to sleep at night because we had the nerve to at least speak to the amazing woman sitting only a few feet away?

Social Agendas Limit Your Opportunities

27 12 2006

When was the last time you started a conversation with a group of seated women in a social environment like a bar or party? A couple? A group of five or more women? A group with six guys and one woman? A group of all guys? One dude standing alone?

If you answered “not recently” or “not ever”, you are missing out on all kinds of possibilities, not just the possibility of meeting a great woman.

It seems to me there are at least two major schools of thought in this game. The first, and possibly more popular, is the “target the hot girls and deal aggressively with potential threats from other guys.” Personally, I find this approach tiresome, difficult and not a lot of fun. My goal is to have a rich and varied social life and to get to know the myriad of fascinating people in the world. Read the rest of this entry »



Myths about “State”

3 11 2006

One thing I’ve learned about the “community” is that there are a great number of redundant and useless euphemisms and acronyms. Many of these are borrowed from NLP, psychology and a variety of other places. I will confess to not caring much about the origins of these terms because many of them seem very manipulative or overly analytical. Of these, one of the terms I like the least is State.

State is a euphemism for one’s mood or how one feels. I wish I could count the number of times I have heard guys complaining about how they didn’t do well some night because they weren’t “in state” or they need to “change their state.” Somehow, it’s a more legitimate excuse to justify not doing something when the grandiose term state is used rather than simply being honest and saying they weren’t in the mood, or were pissed off, or weren’t feeling confident.

Using state as a reason not to approach or as a reason to justify a bad set only hurts the person using it. Read the rest of this entry »
