Flirtation  and  Penetration:  

The  Commanding  Art  of  BOLD  Conversation  

We  are  here  to  talk  about  bold  conversations.  And  I’m  going  to  walk  
you  through  a  selection  of  ways  of  looking  at  what  that  means:  
“bold  conversation.”  

Bold  conversation  doesn’t  mean  you  walk  in  and  go,  “hey,  baby,  
have  sex  with  me.”  That’s  not  the  kind  of  bold  we’re  talking  about.  

There  are,  rather,  two  brands  of  boldness  that  you  need  to  master.  

The  first  is  the  boldness  of  really  standing  for  who  you  are  
unashamedly,  unabashedly.  Of  really  standing  for  whatever  
emotion  you’re  in  at  the  moment,  whatever  you’re  believing,  
whatever  you’re  feeling  and  being  fully  that  person  without  
prevaricating,  without  trying  to  impress.    -­‐The  kind  of  boldness  that  
says  what’s  on  your  mind.        

For  example,  I  was  on  a  first  date  with  a  gorgeous  Swedish  woman  –  
a  dead  ringer  for  Claudia  Schiffer  –  and  yet  also  profoundly  
educated,  and  deeply  spiritual  and  reflective.    She  had  the  best  
profile  I  had  ever  read  online  and  when  we  walked  into  the  
restaurant,  every  single  eye  was  on  her  –  and  I  had  this  feeling  
everyone  was  wondering  if  I  was  some  huge  Hollywood  producer.  

Well,  we  got  talking  about  a  little  of  this  and  that,  and  started  
telling  our  stories  about  ourselves  as  you  do  on  dates.    But  I  
stopped  myself  and  said  –  “by  the  way,  I  want  to  get  through  the  
“how  we  got  here”  part  of  all  this  –  so  we  can  really  dive  deep  and  
get  to  know  who  we  really  are  –  what  we  really  want  to  create  in  
life  and  in  intimacy  in  the  coming  years.”    

She  liked  that.    I  broke  us  right  through  “small  talk.”  

Then,  later  that  evening,  when  she  was  talking  about  an  ex,  I  started  
to  get  a  picture  of  her  life.    She  had  ALWAYS  been  gorgeous  and  so

tended  to  attract  dominant,  immature  men  who  wanted  her  as  a  
prize.    And  a  truth  struck  me…  

“Can  I  ask  you  a  personal  question?”    She  nodded.    “Have  you  ever  felt  
truly  seen  and  loved  for  you,  by  a  man?”  

Tears  welled  in  her  eyes.    I  was  right.    She  shook  her  head  “no.”  

This  is  what  I  mean  about  slicing  right  through  the  small  talk  into  what  I  
call  “Penetrating  Conversation.”    When  you  literally  penetrate  right  
through  to  the  most  profound  truths  that  most  timid  men  leave  
uncommented  upon  –  you  stand  out  as  a  man  of  internal  power,  
fearlessness  and  directness.  

Young  women  need  and  want  to  admire  you  –  this  is  a  powerful  way  to  
get  that  relationship  with  them.  

The  second  way  of  bold  conversation  is  blowing  women  away  with  your  
spontaneity,  your  brashness,  your  flirtation  –  without  fear,  without  
worry.    Letting  your  sexual  interest  be  known  cleanly.  

For  example,  not  too  long  ago,  I  walked  into  a  small  concert  and  saw  a  
beautiful  woman  sitting  along  the  wall  alone,  intent  on  the  band.    I  
noticed  her  notice  me  as  I  walked  in,  so  I  sat  one  seat  away.    I  smiled,  
waited  a  minute,  then  asked  (again  –  based  on  intuition)  –  if  she  was  
with  the  band.    She  was  –  but  she  made  it  clear  that  it  was  not  a  
romantic  connection.    I  noted  her  intent.  

“Good,”  I  said,  looking  her  right  in  the  eyes,  my  intent  unmistakable.    No  
flirtation,  but  straight  ahead  “claiming”  of  her  and  of  the  moment.  

She  smiled  as  that  sank  in  then  said,  “I  was  hoping  you’d  next  to  me.”  

With  that,  I  popped  over  to  her  side  and  pressed  my  butt  up  against  her  
and  we  swayed,  body’s  touching  up  and  down  to  the  music  for  a  minute  
or  so.      

She  smiled  at  me,  and  I  smiled.    It  felt  great.    We  were  grooving.    It  was  a  
sweet  moment,  but  something  unmistakable  was  simmering  beneath.    I  
would  not  let  it  pass  unremarked  upon.

Then  she  told  me  later  that  night  in  bed  the  reason  why  we  were  in  bed  
together  at  that  moment.  

She  told  me  it  was  because  “within  two  minutes  you  said  to  me,  ‘you  
know  we  are  going  to  end  up  together.’    I  liked  your  confidence.”  

Note:  I  didn’t  deliver  it  as  a  question.    It  was  a  statement.    And  it  was  
said  straight.    No  leering.    No  pressure.    No  weirdness.  

This  is  flirting  at  its  best.    You  put  all  games  aside  and  let  the  natural  
electricity  between  the  masculine  and  feminine  do  its  work.  

Ideally,  it’s  the  dynamic  man  who  knows  his  worth,  “claiming”  a  woman  
who  knows  hers.    

This  is  the  exact  opposite  of  “pick-­‐up”  where  an  insecure  man  puts  on  a  
mask  of  self-­‐worth  to  invoke  the  sexual  surrender  of  an  even  more  
insecure  young  woman  who  does  not  have  self-­‐worth,  and  desperately  
relies  upon  external  validation.  

Pick-­‐  up  is  for  delayed  adolescents.    What  you  will  learn  here  with  me  is  
the  opposite  of  attempting  to  strut  like  an  inflated  buffoon  or  act  like  a  
preening  clown.  

I  want  you  operating  from  your  true  and  deepest  self-­‐validating  heart  as  
a  good  man  who  is  worth  a  good  woman’s  time.  

If  you  offer  anything  less  than  that,  you  will  only  attract  feeble  and  
draining  women,  whatever  her  age.  

Your  communicated  worth  conjures  women  of  similar  worth.  

I  do  not  want  you  worrying  about  impressing  anybody  at  all.    This  is  
perhaps  the  boldest  thing  you  can  actually  do  around  women  is  not  
worrying  about  impressing  women.    

One  of  the  main  problems  with  pick-­‐up  and  seduction  training  done  by  
20+  year-­‐  old  “teachers”  is  it  leaves  men  wondering,    “What  can  I  do  to  
impress  her?  How  can  I  create  the  illusion  of  social  value?”      

Don’t.    Forget  about  creating  the  facsimile  of  social  value.    Instead,  I  
want  you  to  CLAIM  your  actual,  earned  value  as  a  man  –  free  of  the  
posturing  of  local  social  norms  and  habits.

The  more  you  immerse  yourself  in  this  program  and  my  other  programs,  
you  will  see  that  your  actual  value  is  your  service  to  the  world  and  those  
you  love,  your  consistency,  your  word,  your  steadiness,  your  ability  to  
feel  your  truth  and  speak  your  truth,  your  authenticity  even  when  it  
costs  you  and  a  selection  of  other  sizzling  qualities  that  women  know  
makes  you  hot  –  but  that  men  tend  to  overlook.    Men  tend  to  think  it  
has  to  do  with  social  jostling  for  a  perceived  “alpha”  position.    Though  
socially  alpha  guys  tend  to  be  dicks  –  and  often  turn  off  the  best  women.    
Men  tend  to  think  it's  the  external  show  of  value  –  money,  cars,  “bling”  
–  as  if  that  reflects  inner  value.  

It  doesn’t.    And  the  good  women  know  this.    The  ones  who  will  drain  
your  energy  and  distract  you  from  your  best  self  and  highest  purposes  
do  not.    The  distracting  problem  for  you  is  that  they  are  often  the  ones  
who  also  make  the  best  external  show.    The  bar  “hotties.”    They  will  
diminish  you  in  every  way,  sooner  or  later.    -­‐And  probably  sooner.  

I  will  show  you  in  this  program  –  and  really  in  all  my  programs-­‐  how  to  
communicate  your  worth  from  the  inside  out,  not  the  outside  in.    For  
our  purposes  today,  I  want  you  to  own  your  worth.      I  want  you  to  
approach  women  with  your  value  as  a  man  fully  understood  and  
embodied.      

A  done  deal.    Even  –  and  this  is  important  –  if  you  don't  feel  it  or  believe  
it  100%  because  you  have  self-­‐doubts  and  some  self-­‐worth  issues.    Only  
rabid  narcissists  don’t,  so  you’re  in  good  company.  

I  want  you  to  stop  thinking  about  how  you’re  impressing  women  and  
instead  reflect  upon  the  ways  that  you  are  living  your  life  boldly,  fully,  
masterfully.    

My  online  profile  system  works  because  it  communicates  your  worth  
from  the  inside  out.  

My  personal  online  profiles  bring  multiple  letters  a  day  from  the  best  
women  because  I’m  truly  (finally!)  in  my  power  in  my  life,  having  a  great  
time,  traveling,  thinking  about  big  important  things  like,  life  and  love,  
and  doing  my  best  to  live  my  authentic  ideals.    Plus,  I  am  very  passionate  
about  what  I  do.  When  I  write  about  that  in  my  profile,  women  are  
attracted  because  I’m  excited  about  my  life.

I’m  not  writing  about  it  to  impress  them,  though  obviously  it’s  shaped  in  
such  a  way  to  intrigue  and  inspire  them  (and  to  create  a  clear  place  for  
them  in  the  film  of  my  life  I  offer).    But  it  comes  through  –  I’m  fulfilled.  
I’m  happy.    

And  so,  you  too  want  to  inspire  women  with  your  passion.        

For  whatever  happens  to  be  inspiring  you!      There’s  a  kind  of  boldness  
that  I  want  you  to  be  in  touch  with  –  an  internal  boldness  –  and  that’s  
what  you’re  passionate  about.    What  turns  you  on.    What  you  would  
knock  over  high  walls  to  achieve,  enjoy,  pursue.  

Because  passion  is  like  a  river,  it’s  like  a  tsunami.  The  person  with  the  
dominant  passion  owns  the  dynamic  of  the  conversation.
     The  river  of  
passion  crashes  through,  washes  everything  along  with  it  downstream.  
That’s  what  your  passion  feels  like  for  women    -­‐  and  if  they  can  connect  
with  your  passion  (not  everyone  appreciates  everyone  else’s  passion  and  
that’s  okay)  –  they  will  feel  inspired  and  turned-­‐on  by  the  man  you  are.    

Just  as  the  person  with  the  dominant  frame  usually  determines  
the  outcome  of  a  social  or  business  interaction,  so  too  the  
person  with  the  dominant  passion  sweeps  up  the  other  into  his  
flow  of  life.  

 
So  if  you  can  access  who  you  are  without  worrying  about  how  to  impress  
her,  or  figure  her  out  and  manipulate  her,  and  just  fucking  be  yourself  
passionately,  it’s  the  more  powerful  frame.    

There  are  two  ways  of  living  really.  There  are  two  ways  of  interacting  
with  women.    

One  is  where  you  live  and  bring  fulfillment.    

That  means  you  go  out  at  night.  You  go  online  and  you  communicate  
overall  that  you  want  to  create  great  experiences  with  the  woman  you  
like.  That’s  your  goal  and  women  feel  it.  

That  you  want  to  create  great  experiences  with  women  I  like.  I’m  going  
to  fulfill  myself  having  a  great  experience  in  this  life  -­‐  having  fun,  being  
funny,  getting  to  know  people.  That’s  it.  No  expectation.  No  “number

close”  and  all  that  bullshit,  because  your  validation  comes  from  within,  
not  from  getting  a  phone  number.  

When  you’re  living  bold  fulfillment,  your  validation  comes  from  inside.    

Women  feel  that.  

The  second  way,  by  contrast,  is  to  seek  and  to  live  by  validation  from  the  
outside.    External  validation  –  is  where  somebody  else  controls  your  
inner  state,  how  you  feel  about  yourself.  

That’s  not  the  same  thing  as  going  out  a  night  to  have  a  great  
experience.  That’s  the  person  who  goes  out  with  the  intention  to  
impress  women
 or  get  a  “kiss  close”  or  some  outward  verification  that  
he  has  “succeeded”  and  is  now  verifiably  “worthy.”  It’s  a  very,  very  
different  kind  of  approach  to  life  –  a  fragile  one  -­‐  and  a  very  different  
kind  of  approach  to  women.    

Obviously,  the  first  one  is  happier.  It’s  a  happier  experience  of  life!    
You’ll  be  a  happier  person.  You  self-­‐  validate.  That’s  the  most  mature,  
most  spiritually  advanced  way  you  can  live.  And  the  sooner  in  your  years  
you  can  make  this  transition,  the  better  for  you.    The  happier  for  you.    
The  more  attractive  you  are  to  women.  

The  less  mature,  less  attractive,  less  spiritually  evolved  way  is  where  you  
don’t  feel  good  about  yourself  unless  you  get  a  certain  response.    

And  so  I  want  to  really  ground  you  in  that  first  way  throughout  my  work,  
even  though  it  seems  as  if  it  may  not  get  you  the  immediate  response  or  
“proof”  you  want.      

Yeah,  everybody  wants  to  have  good  responses  and  everyone  wants  
what  they  want  NOW.    

That  ain’t  how  this  ol’  world  works.  

In  the  long  run,  detaching  from  immediate  response  and  
outside  validation  really  does  serve  you  because  you’ll  get  
the  response  you  want  more  often  –  and  from  the  people  
you  want  it  from!

If  you’re  that  person,  if  you  really  practice  self-­‐fulfillment,  and  self-­‐
validation,  and  loving  your  life,  and  being  passionate  about  how  you’re  
actually  living  your  life,  the  choices  you’re  making,  cultivating  happiness,  
if  you’re  doing  things  you  like,  if  you’re  living  up  to  that  value  system…  
then  you’ll  be  full  of  that  great  vital  energy  that  women  find  sexy,  
inspiring  and  irresistible.  

That’s  the  kind  of  boldness  I  really  want  you  to  focus  on.  Boldly  living  
your  life.  Not  necessarily  just  that  “bad  boy”  stuff  of  showing  that  you  
are  not  limited  by  society’s  strictures,  which  is  also  a  skill  set.    

I  actually  want  you  to  have  that  skill  set  within  your  quiver  –  of  showing  
that  you  are  spontaneous,  unexpected  and  unpredictable.    -­‐The  bad  boy  
element.  

But  I  want  you  to  merge  it  inside  your  Boldness  –  which  is  a  higher,  more  
evolved  code.      Yes,  I  teach  “bad  boy”  techniques  because  I  want  you  to  
have  the  skills,  but  as  you  become  more  comfortable  with  you  it  
becomes  you  who  are,  subsumed  under  a  larger,  more  inspiring  
embodiment  of  masculine  boldness.  

I  want  you  to  have  all  these  techniques  so  that  they  become  part  of  you  
-­‐  and  you  are  actually  spontaneous  and  your  passion  -­‐  the  way  you’re  
living  -­‐  is  spontaneous  and  you  communicate  that  with  power  and  
conviction.    

So,  I  have  several  categories  of  bold  conversation  I  want  to  talk  about  
here.    By  the  time  you  finish  this  piece,  you  will  be  prepared  to  lead  
women  in  conversation  boldly  and  powerfully  –  whether  you  are  in  
flirtation  mode  or  depth  mode.  

Because  they  are  both  essential  –  and  both  need  to  be  kept  separate  
and  un-­‐blurred.  

ON  BOUNDARIES  AND  BOLDNESS  

The  first  category  is  about  boundaries:  Boundaries  and  boldness.  
Women  are  security-­‐  seeking  creatures.  It’s  wired  into  them.    They  
couldn’t  survive  on  their  own  in  the  past,  and  a  million  years  of  history  
doesn’t  vanish  in  a  century.

Men,  by  the  way,  are  generally  freedom-­‐  seeking  creatures.  And  you  may  
not  think  that  those  two  go  together  very  well.  And  guess  what?  
Sometimes  they  don’t,  especially  when  each  side  tries  to  transform  into  
something  they  are  not!  

When  women  try  to  make  men  domesticated,  security-­‐  seeking  animals  
where  you’re  cutting  the  lawn,  doing  the  dishes-­‐  you  feel  like  your  
masculinity  is  gone  after  a  few  years.    

And  when  men  try  to  make  women  feel  too  free  they  get  unbalanced  
too.    They  don’t  necessarily  want  our  kind  of  freedom.    They  want  to  feel  
connected,  nested,  embedded  in  a  social  network,  from  a  family  to  
community.      

We  must  accept  each  other  for  who  we  are.  So  women  are  generally  
security-­‐  seeking  creatures.  So  let’s  apply  this…  

What  upsets  her  security  when  you  approach  her?  Do  you  know  what  it  
is?    Your  anxiety.  So  when  you  come  at  a  woman  with  an  agenda  to  get  
a  response  out  of  her
,  she  can  sense  your  anxiety.    

You  may  not  be  “super”  nervous.  Maybe  it  doesn’t  mean  you’re  
shivering  or  shaking  with  insecurity.  But  there’s  an  approval  seeking  
aspect  
to  you  when  you  go  looking  for  that  feedback  response    -­‐  and  
they’ll  sometimes  read  that  as  anxiety.  

Your  anxiety,  your  neediness  to  be  validated  by  

her  response  works  directly  against  her  greatest  

need:    security.  

That’s  not  very  bold.  So  I  want  you  to  think  about  that  as  you  approach  
women.  The  more  relaxed  you  are  -­‐  high  energy  maybe,  maybe  not,  
that’s  okay  –  the  better  –  and  you  will  be  relaxed  without  the  agenda.    

So  you  lose  your  agenda  to  extract  the  reaction.    What  happens?    She’s  
actually  going  to  feel  more  secure  around  you.  That’s  another  reason  to  
self-­‐validate  rather  than  seek  validation  from  her.    

Now,  by  the  way,  it’s  a  nice  thing  to  go  out  with  guys,  to  be  with  other  
guys  because  you’re  kind  of  validating  each  other  and  you’re  not  
depending  on  her  response.  You  can  practice  being  authentic,  grounded

in  yourself  and  have  the  kind  of  security  of  simply  having  each  other.  
That’s  one  way  to  mitigate  anxiety.    

BOUNDARIES  

Now  let’s  talk  about  boundaries.  It’s  very  important  that  when  you’re  in  
a  conversation  and  you  don’t  stand  up  for  yourself  and  what  you  choose  
to  do  or  not  do,  then  she’s  going  to  read  you  as  someone  who  won’t  
stand  up  for  her.  

So  boundaries  are  essential.  Don’t  agree  with  everything  she  says.    It’s  
okay  to  contradict  her  in  a  conversation.  It’s  a  bold  technique.  If  you  
don’t  agree  with  her,  don’t  agree  with  her.  You  don’t  have  to  get  
emotional  about  it.  You  don’t  have  to  get  [pissy]  about  it.  You  don’t  have  
to  attack  her  about  it,  but  stand  for  your  boundaries.    

There’s  nothing  more  masculine  than  a  person  saying  “I  really  disagree  
with  you,  here’s  why.”      Now  here’s  the  essential  part  -­‐-­‐  not  convincing  
her  that  she  has  to  change  her  mind,  but  just  standing  comfortably  in  
your  own  boundary.    

So  think  about  contradiction  as  a  way  to  establish  your  bold  will.  -­‐
Because  we’re  talking  about  boldness  as  asserting  your  will  in  the  world  
without  actually  having  to  make  a  big  deal  out  of  it.
   

If  she  said  something  offensive,  then  you  could  say,  “I  found  that  really  
offensive.    Thank  you.  I  enjoyed  speaking  with  you  but  I’ll  be  moving  on  
now.”    I’ve  had  one  girl  I  started  dating  admit  she  was  racist.    I  let  her  
know  that  was  100%  uncool  with  me.  

Now  maybe  your  girl  makes  a  mistake  sometimes,  maybe  she  really  is  
offensive,  maybe  she  really  was  a  little  drunk  or  maybe  she  got  carried  
away  with  herself.  It  happens.  I’ve  said  things  in  jest  that  might  be  read  
as  offensive.  

But  when  you  mark  your  boundaries  with  a  woman,  it  shows  that  you’re  
more  invested  in  your  self-­‐validation  than  her  validation  of  you.  You’re  
not  trying  to  “nice”  her  to  death.  You’re  not  trying  to  agree  with  her  to  
death.    You’re  not  her  lap-­‐dog.      

And  you’ll  be  surprised.  You’ll  really  be  surprised  if  you  contradict,  again  
without  acting  pissy  or  getting  emotionally  involved  in  your

contradiction.  That’s  one  way  to  get  her  attention.  She’ll  think,  “Wow.  
This  guy  stands  for  himself.  That’s  awesome.”    

And  a  really  great  woman  will  say,  “you  know  what?  I  don’t  agree  with  
you  but  I  like  how  you  handle  yourself.”  That  will  happen.    

Do  not  be  afraid  of  contracting  women  but  –  listen  closely  –  stay  cool  
about  it.    James  Bond.    Steve  McQueen.    Don’t  bring  anxiety  to  it  and  
don’t  bring  your  emotional  ego  to  it.  Don’t  make  your  ego  dependent  on  
trying  to  convince  her  she’s  right.  
There’s  a  big  difference.  You  just  set  
your  boundary,  state  your  truth  nice  and  easy,  nice  and  cool.    

She  will  usually  respect  that  if  she’s  a  good  woman.      

SUBTEXT  AND  INTENTION  

The  second  category  is  about  subtext,  sub  communication  and  what  
your  intention  is.    You  can  say  the  same  thing  in  different  ways  –  a  way  
that’s  attractive,  commanding,  open,  honest,  bold  –  or  in  a  way  that  is  
supplicating,  beggarly,  needy  and  week.  

When  I  was  doing  workshops  with  David  Deida  (author:  The  Way  of  the  
Superior  Man  –  read  it!)    -­‐we  would  do  practices  just  to  practice  
intonation,  men  and  women  together.    He  would  have  you  sit  opposite  
of  a  woman  eye  to  eye  in  a  chair,  you  look  at  her  and  you  say  one  line  in  
20  different  ways.  “I  love  you.  I  love  you.”  Like  that.  20  different  ways.    
Pained.    Thrilled.    Bitter.    Confused.    Desolate.    Same  words  –  utterly  
different  meanings!
 

Then  we  started  saying  even  more  charged  things:    “I  want  to  kill  you.”      
Cool.    Weak.    Scared  of  the  words  themselves.    Sexy.  

So  whatever  you  say  -­‐  it’s  not  so  much  just  the  words,  there’s  always  the  
tone,  and  intention  and  subtext  of  what’s  going  on.    

Dr.  Robert  Glover’s  talks  about  the  three  T’s    -­‐  tease,  touch  and  tell,  
when  you  at  first  converse  with  a  woman.      Remember  to  tease  her  a  
little  bit  so  you  don’t  come  off  as  the  person  of  lesser  status.    Touch  her  
for  sure,  on  the  upper  arm  at  first  is  safest,  but  her  hand  may  be  the  
most  appropriate  and  easiest  –  just  make  sure  there  is  some  physical  
contact  which  indicates  you  are  not  “afraid”  to  touch  her    (it’s  a  subtle

form  of  claiming.    And  finally,  tell  her  to  do  something.    It  could  be  
something  as  simple  as  “hold  this.”  

But  you  can  also  tell  her  to  do  something  naughty.  Now  there’s  an  
intention  when  you  tell  her  to  do  something  naughty.    Even  if  she  
doesn’t  consciously  get  what  you’re  doing,  something  in  her  “gets”  it.    
She  knows  you’re  playing  the  game  now.  She  knows  there’s  a  sub-­‐
communication  that,  “oh  he’s  telling  me  to  do  something  naughty.  He’s  
playing  the  dominant  role.  I’m  playing  the  submissive  role.”  Again,  this  
could  all  be  subconscious,  but  it’s  there.  

She  may  not  be  processing  all  those  words  but  she’s  going  to  feel  that  
and  it’s  a  sexy  moment.  That’s  why  that’s  so  good.  My  friend  Carlos  
Xuma  likes  to  say,    “tell  the  girls  go  grab  me  some  of  those  cherries  off  
the  counter  and  be  naughty.  I  know  you’re  naughty.”    

Or  say,  in  the  first  few  minutes  of  conversation  with  a  girl,  “you  know  
what  I  like  about  you?    You’re  spontaneous.  You’re  adventurous.  You’re  
a  maverick.”

teacher  of  assertive  seduction

Think  about  it...    what  girl  is  going  to  say,  “I’m  not  spontaneous.”  You  
can  say,  “you  know  what  I  like  about  you  -­‐  you’re  not  a  bullshitter.”  It’s  
very  hard  for  a  woman  to  disagree  with  that!    

If  you  read  the  book,  Influence  by  Robert  Cialdini,  he  shows  you  that  
there  are  six  basic  ways  of  influencing  people  including  the  compliance  
that  comes  with  consistency.  Which  means  -­‐-­‐  if  you  say  something  like  
“you’re  naughty,  you’re  adventurous,  you’re  spontaneous”  and  she  
doesn’t  disagree,  subconsciously  the  way  the  mind  is  programmed,  the  
way  anyone  is  programmed,  now  she  feels  compelled  to  live  that  out.    

She  has  to  be  consistent  with  what  you’ve  just  established.  So  it’s  a  very  
good  technique.  It’s  a  little  bit  naughty.  It’s  a  little  bit  manipulative  
maybe.  But  it’s  a  great  thing  to  do  set  it  up,  the  subtext,  the  intention  
early  on  you’re  naughty.  You’re  spontaneous.  I  like  that  about  you.  
Boom.    

That’s  all  right  in  the  beginning.  She’s  going  to  subconsciously  want  to  
prove  that  you  were  right  because  she  didn’t  disagree  with  you.

So  knowing  your  intention  is  very  important.  -­‐Your  sub-­‐communication.  
It’s  very,  very  important  to  be  aware  of  the  tone  of  how  you  say  things,  
where  your  voice  is  and  whether  you’re  again  internally  or  externally  
seeking  validation.  You  want  to  always  avoid  seeking  validation  that  
you’re  okay  because  she’s  making  you  okay.  

THE  SUBTEXT  OF  SEXUALITY    

Now  let’s  talk  more  about  subtext.  Sexuality  is  always  a  subtext  when  it’s  
a  man  and  a  woman  -­‐-­‐  and  either  you  get  it  on  the  table  or  you  take  it  
off  the  table.    If  it’s  a  business  situation,  you  want  to  take  it  off  the  table.      
If  it’s  a  social  situation,  hell,  maybe  you  want  to  take  it  under  the  table.  
J

 

There  are  so  many  ways  to  create  subtext.  It  could  just  be  your  voice.  I  
discovered  this  years  ago  with  a  woman  when  I  was  on  the  phone  with  
her.    I  growled.    She  responded.    She  let  me  know  how  sexy  that  felt  to  
her  –  a  deep  masculine  growl.  

Now  I  do  it  naturally.    It  feels  good  for  me  –  it  takes  me  out  of  my  (busy)  
head  and  puts  me  in  my  feral  masculine  body.  

I  do  it  when  I  kiss  a  girl.    I  might  kiss  her  body;  then  hover  my  mouth  
over  her,  soaking  up  her  deliciousness  and  kind  of  growl,  or  purr.    It  
sounds  like  a,  “hmmmmmmmm.”  

It  creates  electricity  because  I’m  not  doing  it  as  a  technique  –  by  now,  
I’m  genuinely  feeling  the  force  and  allure  of  her  beauty  and  reflecting  it  
back  through  my  primal,  raw  appreciation.  

That  creates  a  highly  sexual  grounding  for  higher  levels  of  connection  –  
at  the  emotional,  personality,  healing  or  spiritual  levels.    Without  the  
raw  aspect,  we  are  buddies.    With  it,  we  are  interconnected  lovers.  

One  woman  once  said  to  me  that  it  sounded  like  a  “yum.”  I  love  that!      
Because  it  is  exactly  that!    It’s  a  gigantic  “yum”  –  a  tasting  of  the  heady  
perfume  of  a  woman’s  femininity.  

She  said,  “I  gives  me  shivers  in  my  body!”    

A  man’s  throaty  growl  is  a  feral,  wild  animal  thing.

Growl  hungrily  over  her.  

The  low  rumble  of  a  man’s  voice  has  an  impact  on  her  body.    

I  want  you  to  think  about  what  else  your  voice  does  to  her.    

What’s  the  subtext  in  every  moment?  What  are  you  dropping  in  there  
with  your  voice,  or  body  or  words?    How  are  you  letting  her  know  she’s  
sexy  to  you?    How  is  your  breathing?    Deep  and  powerful  and  settled,  or  
anxious  and  shallow?    Is  your  intonation  rising  at  the  end  of  sentences  so  
that  what  should  be  a  declarative  statement  comes  off  as  a  question    (as  
in,  “Once?    At  band  camp…?”)  

Let’s  apply  your  feral  intention  to  the  words  that  come  out  of  your  
mouth…  

I  describe  what  I  call  the  “sexy  sandwich”  in  my  other  programs  on  
confidence  and  boldness.  This  is  my  adaptation  with  a  technique  I  
learned  studying  marketing  and  business  leadership.    

I  read  a  lot  about  business  because  it’s  dealing  with  people  and  I’m  
fascinated.  I  read  broadly  about  marketing,  and  leadership  dynamics  and  
how  people  interact.    

There’s  something  called  the  “compliment  sandwich”  in  business  where  
if  you  have  something  important,  but  not  necessarily  easy  to  hear  for  a    
lackluster  employee,  for  example,  and  you  don’t  want  to  bum  them  out  
and  shut  them  down.    So  you  give  your  important  critique  sandwiched  
between  two  compliments  of  what  they  do  well  (not  bad  for  parenting,  
you  dads  out  there).  

For  women,  I  created  something  called  the  “sexy  sandwich”  which  is  
where  you  tell  her  that  she’s  sexy  in  between  two  other  things.  It  creates  
a  casual,  non-­‐needy  electric  subtext.  You  say  something  like…  

“I’m  really  having  fun  with  you.  You’re  sexy.  This  is  fun.  
You’re  cool.”  

 Simple.    Subtle.    Buried.  Just  no  big  deal.    

Notice  that  you’re  not  seeking  validation.  You’re  not  begging  anything  
from  her.    You’re  not  fawning  over  her.    You’re  not  complimenting  her  to

death.    You’re  just  sitting  back  having  an  observation.  You’re  sexy.  This  is  
fun.  You’re  cool.  

Boom.    Like  that.  And  she  heard  the  word,  “sexy”  but  you  didn’t  make  a  
big  deal  out  of  it.  You’re  not  looking  for  anything.  You’re  dropping  it,  like  
it  means  nothing  to  you,  like  you  do  it  all  the  time,  like  you  have  sexy  
girls  all  the  time.    

It  really  works  even  if  you’re  not  around  sexy  girls  all  the  time.  Try  doing  
that.  It’s  a  nice  little  subtext.  The  subtext  of  the  sexy  sandwich  is  that  it’s  
not  a  big  deal.
 Her  being  sexy  is  not  a  big  deal.  Now  I’ll  say  it  all  the  time.    

Part  of  it  is  that  I  live  in  LA  so  everyone  is  sexy.  Not  everyone  but  damn  
there’s  a  lot  of  sexy  people  here!    So  it’s  not  really  that  big  a  deal  
anymore  for  me  and  by  saying  it  the  way  I  am  telling  you,  you  are  
erasing  that  as  a  power  base  of  hers.    You  are  evening  things  out  –  which  
is  especially  important  if  she  considers  her  youth  a  huge  power  
advantage  over  you.  

If  you  live  in  places  where  not  everyone  is  so  sexy,  maybe  you’re  
awestruck  when  you  run  into  somebody  who  just  blows  you  away.  But  
wherever  you  live,  cultivate  your  easeful  dominance  with  the  sexy  
sandwich.    Great  technique!    Be  cool  with  it.  

It’s  not  a  big  deal.  The  subtext  is  that  her  sexiness  is  one  of  the  qualities  
that’s  attractive  and  that’s  cool.  It’s  not  a  big  deal.    

THE  THREE  TYPES  OF  WOMEN  YOU  WILL  MEET  

Okay.  The  third  thing  I  want  to  talk  about  is  this  is  something  I  learned  
from  a  guy  named  Mark  Manson.  He  used  to  teach  approach  in  Boston.  
He  has  the  teaching  about  three  types  of  girls.  That  wherever  you  go  
online,  offline,  there’s  going  to  be  three  types  of  girls.    

There’s  the  type  of  girl  who  is  going  to  be  receptive  to  you  right  away  
whether  it’s  because  she’s  horny,  or  she’s  looking  for  a  guy,  or  she  likes  
the  way  you  look,  or  she’s  just  dying  to  go  home  with  someone  that  
night,  or  she  walked  with  a  group  of  friends  and  she  likes  your  ride  or  
she  saw  you  on  stage    -­‐  whatever.  She’s  receptive.      

Then  there’s  the  absolutely  unreceptive  girl.  Forget  the  unreceptive  girl  
even  though  part  of  you  is  going  to  want  to  conquer  her.  We  love  

background image

15

challenges.  We’re  men.    We  like  to  fight.  We  like  to  hunt.  That’s  how  we  
evolved.  And  there’s  something  in  the  seduction  world  where  it’s  like,  “I  
want  to  get  that  girl  who’s  really  bitchy  to  me.  I  want  to  get  that  girl  who  
turned  me  down  cause  there’s  a  victory  in  it.”  

We  like  victories.  But  it’s  for  your  ego  only;  it’s  revenge  for  the  girls  in  
high  school  who  turned  you  down.    So,  forget  about  it.  There’s  a  much  
better  category  for  you  to  bring  your  attraction  skill  sets  -­‐-­‐  which  is  the  
third  category:    neutral  territory.    

This  is  the  kind  of  girl  who  is  in-­‐  between.  This  is  where  your  abilities  
come  in.  This  is  where  your  boldness  comes  in.    

So  the  first  kind  is  receptive  girl.  She’s  receptive  to  you.  She  smiles  at  
your  first  joke.  She’s  warm  and  interested.  Tilted  her  head  when  you  
started  talking.  Fantastic.  That’s  when  your  job  is  to  come  in  and  you  
start  raising  that  temperature  right  away.    You  can  start  choosing  those  
levels  to  go  deeper,  to  polarize  her,  to  get  her  more  interested,  to  
challenge  her  up  into  her  most  adventurous  self.    To  offer,  in  subtle  
ways,  liberation  for  her,  adventure,  excitement,  spontaneity  –  all  of  
which  is  a  subtle  way  of  creating  a  seedbed  for  sexuality.      It’s  that  easy.    

Again  –  second  -­‐  the  unreceptive  girls  I’m  telling  you.  Do  not  court  
rejection.    I  know  it’s  tempting.    But  it’s  a  waste  of  your  time  and  it’s  a  
waste  of  your  life.    

I’m  going  to  give  you  a  little  extra  gift  here  that    I  figured  out  years  ago:    I  
stopped  using  the  term  “wasting  time”  and  I  started  using  the  term  
“wasting  life.”      -­‐Because  you’re  not  wasting  time.  Time  is  fine.  There’s  
plenty  of  time.  But  you  don’t  have  a  lot  of  time.    

So  you’re  wasting  your  life.  Don’t  waste  your  life  on  doing  stuff  that’s  
going  to  make  you  unhappy.  So  don’t  bother  with  unreceptive  girls.  
Again  unreceptive  doesn’t  mean  she’s  rejecting  you.    

It  really  has  nothing  to  do  with  you.    Maybe  she’s  in  a  bad  mood.    Maybe  
you  are  like  her  ex.    Maybe  she  just  likes  a  different  kind  of  guy.    It  
doesn’t  matter.  It  just  doesn’t  matter.  And  the  more  you  get  into  bold  
self-­‐validation,  the  less  a  girl’s  rejection  and  disinterest  in  you  will  
matter.    Which  is  a  happy  place  to  be  in  life.

 There  are  millions  of  girls.  It  doesn’t  matter  who  “rejects  you.”  So  I  can’t  
say  it  strong  enough.  Just  let  it  go.    Move  on.  

Online,  offline  just  let  it  go.  Not  everybody  has  to  be  attracted  to  you.  As  
the  saying  goes,  or  should  go  –  “there’s  an  ass  for  every  paddle.”    You  
don’t  have  to  get  all  the  asses  for  your  paddle.    

By  the  way,  when  I  say  this  to  girls  to  demonstrate  my  at-­‐easeness  with  
abundance,  I  always  say,  “As  my  grandmother  says,  there’s  an  ass  for  
every  paddle.”  

It  adds  that  extra  bit  of  humor  and  ease.  

Now.      

The  neutral  girls.    The  ones  who  are  not  sure  about  you  at  first  sight.    
The  ones  who  have  flirted  with  the  idea  of  being  with  an  older  guy  –  but  
have  not  done  it  yet.  

This  is  where  your  boldness  comes  in.    A  neutral  girl  is  on  the  fence.  She  
doesn’t  really  quite  know  about  you  yet.  Maybe  she  doesn’t  think  you’re  
the  best  looking  guy  in  the  world  but  you’re  not  bad,  or  maybe  she’s  not  
sure  how  you  dress  or  how  you’re  holding  your  body.  She’s  not  really  
sure.  She’s  not  rejecting  you  but  she’s  also  not  convinced.  What  you’ve  
got  to  do  in  this  instance,  and  this  happens  a  lot,  is  to  assertively  polarize  
her  one  way  or  another    -­‐  and  the  sooner  the  better.    

[For  more  on  boldness  as  a  mode  of  being  and  way  of  living  
and  especially  to  bust  through  the  5  make-­‐or-­‐break  
moments  with  women  –  please  see  my  video  at  

www.TheBoldnessCode.com

]  

The  common  language  of  fear  around  the  neutral  girl  is  “the  friend  
zone.”    That’s  an  asexual  place,  an  asexual  dynamic.    You  want  to  get  out  
of  that  quickly.  You  don’t  want  it  to  go  on  forever.  And  so  you  polarize  
her    -­‐  and  there  are  different  ways  to  polarize  her.    

Some  are  more  risqué,  and  bold,  and  flirtatious,  and  some  are  deeper  
and  go  right  to  heart  of  the  matter.    

The  key  thing  is  -­‐and  I’m  going  to  hit  this  hard-­‐  You’ve  got  to  take  action.  
The  action  could  be  flirting.  The  action  could  be  teasing  her  with  that  

background image

17

push-­‐pull  stuff,  but  it  can’t  be  adolescent.    The  action  could  be  
expressing  direct  sexual  interest.    

You  could  say,  “that  dress  makes  you  incredibly  sexy.    You  should  know  
I’m  struggling  every  single  second  not  to  dip  you  and  give  you  the  most  
romantic,  sweet,  sustained  kiss.”    

[note:    by  using  the  romance  novel  language  and  images,  its  harder  for  
her  to  resist]  

 Or  you  can  be  100%  authentic  and  just  say,    “I  really  like  you.  You’re  
really  fun,  smart  and  sexy.  I’m  going  to  get  to  know  you  better  tonight.    I  
want  you  to  know,  I  think  you’re  really  unique.”  

Like  that.  No  flirting.  No  nonsense.  Straightforward.    

THE  ART  OF  POLARIZING  

It’s  a  choice.  You  can  also  flirt.  It  doesn’t  matter.  But  one  of  your  choices  
is  to  really,  directly  state  your  sexual  interest  in  her  without  any  
neediness.  And  in  fact,  by  doing  that,  or  by  teasing  her  or  by  making  a  
really  off-­‐color  joke,  you’re  polarizing  her  into  either  attraction  or  not  
attraction.
 

And  it  doesn’t  matter  which  way  she  goes.  That’s  the  point.  The  act  of  
polarizing  her  is  the  bold  act.  And  if  she’s  not  going  to  like  you  because  
you’re  bold,  okay,  she’s  not  going  to  like  you,  but  at  least  you  can  move  
on  to  the  next  girl.    

The  key  is  you  want  to  do  something  polarizing  within  the  first  few  
minutes  so  it  doesn’t  just  go  on  neutrally.  Now  I’m  going  to  give  you  
some  more  examples  now  of  what  you  can  do…  

One  way  of  polarizing  girls  is  you  can  state  a  big  truth.  You  can  look  at  
her  and  say  “you  know  I’m  looking  at  you  and  part  of  me  tells  me  that  
you’re  kind  of  bored  with  this  crowd  tonight.  I  see  you  looking  around  
the  room  and  I  sense  that  you  want  to  be  doing  something  more  
exciting.  That  you  want  to  be  somewhere  else.”  

 And  see  what  she  says.  You’ve  now  peered  into  her,  and  you  penetrated  
into  her  and  you  stated  the  truth.  That’s  awesome.  That’s  one  way  of  
polarizing  her.    

background image

18

Now,  sometime  girls  will  say,  “What  do  the  fuck  do  you  know  about  me?  
You  don’t  know  me.”  That’s  a  very  New  York  thing  to  say!  

Or,  sometimes  they  might  say,  “What  do  you  have  in  mind?”  

If  they  say,  “you  know,  you’re  right,”  then  you’d  better  have  a  
suggestion  ready  for  her,  to  take  her  somewhere  else  right  at  that  
moment.    That  will  be  your  cue.  

[Note  –  polarizing  her  this  way,  you’re  stating  the  truth.  You’re  not  just  
saying  “so  where  are  you  living.  Are  you  having  a  good  time  tonight?”  -­‐
like  every  other  guy  in  the  room.    Who  gives  a  fuck,  right?  She  gets  that  
all  the  time.]  

You  state  a  truth  about  her,  or  a  truth  about  the  room  or  crowd.    

Another  way  -­‐  you  can  be  very  vulnerable.  Say  something  true  about  
yourself.  You  can  say  something  polarizing  about  your  sexual  feelings.    
Now,  again,  something  that’s  not  crass.  I’m  not  going  to  say,  “Oh  you’re  
sexy,  I  want  to  fuck  you.”    

I  may  be  thinking  that.  But  you  can  say  things  like,    “you’re  really  sexy.    
Stop  it!    Stop  being  so  sexy.    If  you  keep  being  that  sexy,  I’m  going  to  
have  you  pull  you  into  the  corner  and  make  out  with  you.      It’s  really  
sexy  the  way  you  did  that.  I  like  watching  you.  You’ve  got  a  really  
beautiful  grace.”    

By  the  way,  one  of  my  favorite  words  with  women,  and  they  love  the  
word,  is  “grace”  because  it’s  a  way  of  saying  sexy  without  seeming  
needy.      It’s  not  saying  the  same  thing  every  guy  says.  

The  key  is:  don’t  hide  your  sexual  agenda.  Polarize  her  clearly.    If  you’re  
interested  in  the  girl-­‐  I  don’t  care  what  you’ve  read  by  young  pick-­‐  up  
guys  that  you  should  never  show  that  you’re  interested  because  that  
lowers  your  status.  No.  What  lowers  your  status  is  being  needy.    

What  raises  your  status  is  standing  in  your  truth.  Without  
embarrassment,  fear,  hesitation  or  fear  of  rejection.        

So  say,  “You’re  cool  and  you’re  sexy.  I’m  going  to  get  to  know  you  better  
tonight.”

State  what  you’re  doing.    Let  her  know  your  intentions.    And  then  go  on  
to  the  conversation.  Don’t  hide  your  sexual  agenda.    

Dr.  Robert  Glover  (author  of  the  great  book,  

No  More  Mr.  Nice  Guy

 )  and  

I  spend  a  week  now  and  then  in  Puerto  Vallarta,  talking  over  many  
margaritas  on  the  beach.      

And  one  of  his  mottos  is  “nothing  hidden,  nothing  half-­‐assed.”    

He  spent  years  hiding  his  personal  truths  and  that  took  a  toll.    Most  
“nice  guys”  do  that.    They  are  afraid  to  claim  women  openly  and  without  
subterfuge.      So  that  has  become  his  personal  motto.      I  learned  that  
about  him  when  I  told  him  that  he  was  one  of  the  most  content  men  I  
had  ever  known.    He  told  me  it  wasn’t  always  that  way.    It  started  when  
he  took  on  this  new  way  of  being.  

Now  it’s  your  turn.  

Hide  nothing.  If  you  find  someone  sexy,  tell  her  she’s  sexy,  and  without  
need.  That’s  the  key  thing.    Nothing  hidden,  nothing  half-­‐assed.    

So  for  instance,  if  you  are  going  to  be  in  a  conversation  or  going  on  a  
date  with  a  girl,  say,  “Come  on,  bring  you’re  A-­‐game.”  Or  “don’t  forget  
to  bring  you're  A-­‐game.”      

Bring  everything  that  you  got.  I  want  to  see  what  you  got.  

Dr.  Glover  talks  about  “challenging  women  up.”  So  he  kind  of  polarizes  
them  either  way.  If  she’s  flirting,  he’ll  say,  “You  call  that  flirting?    Come  
on,  bring  your  A  game.  I  want  all  of  you!”    

He  calls  them  out  to  tell  their  truth,  which  is  a  great  thing  to  do.  That’s  a  
bold  thing  to  do.      Do  it.  

You’re  not  afraid  of  what  a  woman  thinks  of  you,  or  what  they  say  or  do  
because  you  are  in  the  process  of  self-­‐validating  all  the  time.  Self-­‐
validating  is  a  fancy  way  of  saying  you’re  having  a  kick  ass  time  in  your  
life.  You’re  enjoying  your  life.  You’re  doing  things  that  you  like.  You  don’t  
care  about  her  approval.    

I  know  it  feels  difficult  sometimes  when  you’re  not  having  sex,  when  you  
don’t  have  a  woman  in  your  life.  You  really  want  their  approval.  But  the

more  you  want  it,  the  more  you’re  needy,  the  less  you’re  going  to  get  it.  
The  more  anxiety  you’re  bringing  to  them  and  the  less  secure  they  feel.  
So  don’t  hide.  Bring  your  A  game  and  playfully  demand  that  she  bring  
hers.  

State  your  truth.  That’s  bold.  The  happier  you  allow  yourself  to  be  while  
standing  in  your  truth,  the  more  attractive  you’ll  be.  That’s  how  it  goes.    

And  the  more  you  practice  it,  the  more  attractive  you’ll  be.    

Over  time,  the  more  natural  it  becomes.    

Here’s  another  way  to  polarize  her  and  avoid  creating  “the  friend  zone.”    

I  had  a  girl  cancel  on  me  for  a  first  date  and  I  think  she  had  another  date,  
or  I  don’t  know  what  it  was.  It  was  a  bullshit  cancel.  It  was  like  5  o’clock  
in  the  afternoon.  So  I  said,  “no  problem.  We’ll  get  together  again  except  
next  time  you’re  buying  drinks.”  Now  this  one  girl  said,  “no  I’m  not.”    

That  was  it.  I  never  wrote  to  her  again.      I  polarized  her.    If  she  said,  “lol  
okay,  that’s  fair”  -­‐  that’s  awesome.  That’s  a  great  girl!  Now  we  have  
something  to  go  on.    

This  girl  said,  “No  I’m  not.”  Okay.      That  gives  me  clarity.    She  feels  
privilege.  She  thinks  she  can  cancel  on  me  at  5  o’clock.  Guess  what?    I  
don’t  want  to  be  with  someone  like  that.      

Buh-­‐bye.  

It  diminishes  you  to  tolerate  people  treating  you  shabbily.  

Another  great  thing  Dr.  Glover  and  I  discussed  over  those  giant  drinks  on  
the  Mexican  beach.    He’s  been  through  a  lot  of  shit  in  his  life.    He’s  56.  
He’s  been  through  a  lot,  gained  a  lot  of  wisdom,  made  a  lot  of  mistakes.  
And  one  of  the  things  he  said  to  me  is,    

“I’ve  cleared  out  anyone  who  doesn’t  make  me  happy  in  my  life.”  

There  are  plenty  of  people  in  the  world.  So  this  girl  who  says,  “no  I’m  not  
going  to  buy  you  a  drink.”  That’s  fine.  Clear  her  out.  I  have  no  problem  
cutting  her  off,  because  I  also  know  with  online  dating,  there  are  plenty  
of  women  around:  there  are  millions  of  women.  Seeing  abundance  and

learning  how  to  cultivate  it  -­‐-­‐  gives  you  the  strengths  and  boldness  you  
want.  

Listen  –  sure,  you  may  hurt  for  a  second  because  you  lost  someone  who  
you  thought  you  might  have  something  with,  but  you’ve  shown  them  
that  you’re  a  person  with  boundaries.  Guess  what?    

A  week  or  so  later,  that  girl  called  me  back.  She  wrote  back  to  me  saying,  
what’s  going  on?  So  showing  your  boundaries  shows  your  self-­‐respect.      

Again  if  you  show  you  don’t  stand  up  for  yourself,  she  will  feel  insecure  
because  she  won’t  believe  that  you’ll  stand  up  for  her  when  the  time  
comes
.    

Remember,  women  are  security-­‐seeking  creatures.  They  want  to  know  
you  have  your  boundaries  and  that  you  keep  them.    They  don’t  want  you  
to  be  pissy  about  the  –  in  other  words  -­‐  no  emotions  here  -­‐  but  they  do  
want  your  boundaries  held  steadily.    

Here’s  some  more  ways  to  take  polarizing  action.  You  can  ask  her  a  
really  great  question.  You  really  get  to  the  truth  of  who  she  is.  If  she  says  
what  she’s  doing,  she’s  just  talking  about  her  work,  you  can  interrupt  her  
blah,  blah,  blah  small  talk  with  something  very  direct  like:    

“Can  I  ask  you  a  personal  question?”  –  then  wait  for  her  response.    “Do  
you  love  what  you’re  doing?  Is  this  the  life  you  really  want  to  live?”  

That’s  polarizing.    A  guy  who  is  afraid  of  women  will  never  say  that.    

They’ll  go  “oh  that’s  interesting.  That’s  very  cool.”    

If  she  saying  something  and  you  sense  that  she  doesn’t  love  her  life,  ask  
that  huge  question  –  but  from  a  place  of  genuine  care  and  curiosity:  “Is  
the  life  you  really  want  to  be  living?”  

And  she’ll  look  at  you  for  a  second  and  if  she’s  any  kind  of  open,  she’ll  
likely  say,  “you  know,  actually  it  really  isn’t.”    

Then  you  can  REALLY  step  it  up.  

Say  to  her,  “tell  me  what  you  really  dream  about.  What  do  you  really  
want  to  do?”

And  really  be  interested.  In  my  book  

Deep  Online  Attraction

 (it  used  to  

be  called  Net2Bed/Net2Wed)  when  I  first  started  dating,  I  was  so  
excited.  I  wrote  to  everybody.  It  was  really  fun.  And  there  was  one  girl  
who  was  just  off  the  chart,  smoking  LA  super-­‐  hot.    

And  what  those  girls  tend  to  do  is  to  not  write  very  much  because  they  
know  they  can  get  200  emails  every  day.  So  I  wrote  to  her,  “you  don’t  
say  very  much  in  your  profile,  but  I’m  curious  what  do  you  dream  of  in  
your  life?  What  are  your  dreams?”  

And  she  wrote  back  and  I  actually  printed  the  answer  in  my  book.  And  
she’s  kind  of  funny  because  she  seemed  so  excited;  she  used  about  10  
mixed  metaphors.  She  wrote,  “  you  hit  the  nail  in  the  head!”    I  don’t  
know  what  nail  that  is,  personally,  but  she  added  –  “that’s  the  sweetest,  
most  caring  question  anyone  has  ever  asked  me.”    

Now  on  the  one  hand  that  was  awesome  for  me  because  I  got  to  meet  
her  and  she  was  so  into  me  for  asking.  She  was  adorable  but  pretty  
much  as  empty  headed  as  she  sounds.  But  it  was  just  fine  for  me,  then.    I  
didn’t  care.    I  was  so  hungry  for  female  sexual  companionship  after  a  
long  drought  in  my  marriage.  

But  at  the  same  time,  it  was  kind  of  sad  for  her  because  apparently  
nobody  fucking  ever  asks  her  what  she  dreams  of.      Nobody  cares  what  
she  really  wants  or  feels.    Why?    Because  she’s  so  hot.  Everyone  wants  
to  be  with  her,  and  be  on  her  side  and  suck  up  to  her.      

So  don’t  be  afraid.  Be  the  man  who  cuts  beneath  the  surface.    It’s  okay  
to  interrupt  her  even  if  your  questions  are  good  and  sincere  enough:      

“What  would  make  you  ecstatic  instead  of  just  happy?”  

[This  is  a  way  of  showing  that  you  care.  You  can  word  it  differently  for  
different  people.    Just  this  week,  I  asked  my  mother,  who  has  been  
feeling  down  and  bit  bored  since  my  father’s  passing  –“what  would  
make  you  happy  instead  of  just  content?”  I  care  about  her  and  I  want  
her  happiness.    That  is  the  spirit  I  want  you  to  bring  to  all  women.]  

Another  way  of  showing  care  is  to  ask,  “Describe  to  me  a  day  when  you  
would  be  ecstatic,  your  perfect  day?  Start  with  how  you  wake  up  and  
where…”

23

Now  you  get  into  who  she  really  is,  you  open  up  her  imagination,  
including  her  sensory  or  erotic  imagination.    So  that’s  great.  Next,  again,  
the  other  way  to  polarize  by  the  way  is  to  ask  her  to  come  home  with  
you.      

Her  response  to  that  can’t  matter  to  you.  Of  course,  you’re  going  to  
want  her  to  go  home  with  you.    But  guess  what?  When  you  really  get  
good  at  this  and  you  like  somebody,  you  could  say  to  her,  “you  know,  
you’re  really  beautiful.  It  was  so  natural,  and  warm  and  easy  talking  with  
you  tonight.”    

Then  take  her  hands  and  say  “I  would  love  for  you  to  come  home  with  
me  tonight.”    Just  like  that.  And  if  you  haven’t  seen  the  scene  in  Vicky  
Christina  Barcelona
.  Go  get  the  movie.  I  talk  about  this  scene  a  lot.  It’s  
awesome.  I  got  chills  watching  it.  When  Javier  Bardem  walks  over  to  the  
table  with  Scarlet  Johansson  and  her  friend,  and  invites  them  to  go  fly  
with  him  to  this  other  city  because  he  wants  to  show  them  this  little  
church.  There’s  a  little  statue  in  it  or  something  that  he  says  it  makes  
him  cry.  

Scarlett’s  friend  says,  “you  probably  just  want  us  to  go  to  bed  with  you  
and  you’re  hoping  we’ll  both  have  sex  with  you,  me,  or  her  or  maybe  
both.”  And  he  says,  “yeah  that  would  be  great.”    

And  then  he  says  something  magnificent:    “I’m  coming  to  you  with  no  
subterfuge.    You’re  beautiful  women.  It’s  a  beautiful  day.  I  want  to  have  
a  great  experience  with  you.  If  we  end  up  in  bed  together,  fantastic.”  

No  subterfuge.  There’s  nothing  hidden,  nothing  half-­‐assed.  He’s  totally  
honest  about  that.    That  was  a  great  thing  to  do.  Guess  what.  She  might  
say  yes  and  she  might  say  no,  and  in  the  end,  it  doesn’t  matter.    

Watch  that  movie;  you  really  should  see  that  scene.  It’s  a  great  movie  
anyway.  But  if  you  could  really  see  that  non-­‐neediness  of  how  he  
approaches.  He’s  very  matter  of  fact  about  it.  He  actually  says  the  line.  “I  
come  to  you  with  no  subterfuge.”    And  says,  more  or  less,  “I’m  telling  
you  exactly  what  I  want.  I  want  to  go  there.  We’ll  drink  wine.  We’ll  have  
a  great  meal.  We’ll  look  at  the  art.  We’ll  go  home.  We’ll  make  love.”  

Damn  I  love  that  scene!  

Why  not?  We’re  human  beings.  We’re  creatures.

Check  out  that  scene.    

I  think  you’re  getting  the  theme  of  bold  conversation  here:    which  is  no  
subterfuge  and  being  unattached  to  outcome.      It’s  self-­‐validation,  not  
needing  to  be  validated  by  others.      

It’s  fulfilling  your  own  life.    

HUMOR  AS  POLARIZING  

In  addition  to  polarizing  by  being  totally  honest,  you  can  polarize  by  
using  sexual  or  off-­‐color  humor,  being  controversial  or  confrontational.  
It  doesn’t  mean  you’re  being  crass  and  gross.  

But  it  means  you  might  use  some  humor  that  shows  that  you’re  not  
afraid  to  polarize,  that  sexuality  doesn’t  scare  you.  

I  used  to  work  in  comedy,  with  National  Lampoon,  so  I  know  a  lot  of  
comedy  and  comedians.    My  buddy  from  those  days  has  a  knack  of  using  
great  lines  in  conversation.      When  a  woman  says  to  him,  do  you  have  a  
tattoo?    He  says,  “yeah  I  have  a  tattoo  of  a  huge  cock  of  my  cock.”  

Hilarious  line.  Great  line.  And  he  doesn’t  make  a  big  deal  out  of  it  but  it’s  
funny  that  he  says  it.  He’s  not  afraid  to  use  that  language.    And  women  
get  that  he’s  unafraid.      

I  use  that  line  not  too.  

I  will  quote  Chris  Rock.  I  will  quote  Doug  Stanhope,  Louis  CK.  I  will  quote  
David  Cross,  Greg  Geraldo  (especially  on  “Girlfriends  vs.  Bitches”)  Bill  
Hicks.  There  are  certain  comedians  who  tell  the  truth  in  an  off-­‐color  way.    

Back  in  Mexico  there  was  a  woman  I  met  and  she  was  cute!  And  I  
couldn’t  tell  what  was  going  on  between  us  –  was  she  game  or  was  she  
repressed?      

I  had  a  choice  between  empty  small  talk/polite  jokes  or  a  polarizing  joke.  
Because  remember  we’re  still  talking  here  about  how  to  polarize  the  
neutral  girl  who  you  can’t  really  read  yet.  

This  woman  she  was  really  nice,  very  pretty  and  we  were  talking.  She  sat  
in  the  stool  between  my  buddy  and  me,  and  I  said  something  like  “I

know  you’ve  been  wanting  a  guy  sandwich,  so  I’m  glad  we  could  be  the  
men  to  give  that  to  you  tonight.”  

Yes,  loaded  with  margarita-­‐fueled  innuendo.      

Guess  what?  She  ended  up  telling  us  two  seconds  later  that  she  sold  sex  
toys  for  10  years!    She  was  way  more  racy  than  we  were,  and  it  was  on!  

(if  you  don’t  think  women  are  as  sexual  or  MORE  sexual  than  we  men  
are,  then  read:  

What Do Women Want?: Adventures in the Science

of Female Desire

”. That’ll cure you!)

If  I  didn’t  say  something  racy,  if  I  didn’t  polarize  her  out  of  neutrality,  I  
never  would  have  known  that  she  spent  10  years  doing  sex  toy  parties.  

So  by  being  bold  by  polarizing  someone  out  of  neutrality  in  this  case  
with  something  racy,  I  learned    -­‐  guess  what  -­‐  she’s  more  racy  than  me.  
That’s  how  you  do  it.  So  the  lesson  here  again    -­‐  I’ll  restate  it  -­‐  is  you  
want  to  polarize  that  neutral  girl  either  through  teasing,  through  stating  
some  very  deep  truth  or  some  real  vulnerability,  and  authentic  about  
yourself,  through  off-­‐color  humor,  through  physicality,  taking  her  hand,  
putting  your  arm  around  her,  pushing  the  hair  off  her  face,  as  if  you  
already  are  a  couple.
 

These  are  polarizing  actions  where  you  break  her  out  of  neutrality.  Do  
what  feels  natural.  Try  different  ones.  See  what’s  good  for  you.  
Sometimes  they  work.  Sometimes  they  don’t.  But  the  point  is  you’ll  
never  know  unless  you  break  her  out  of  that  neutral  state.  You  want  to  
be  that  life  changing  presence  to  her.  So  any  of  these  things  will  do.  You  
can’t  be  that  life  changing  presence,  that  bold  man  by  just  being  neutral  
back  to  her,  by  lingering  in  the  friend  zone.  

Ask  her,  “What’s  your  favorite  thing  in  the  world?”  

Care.    Go  deep  inside  of  her  if  you  use  that  language.    Find  out  what  her  
passions  are.  And  when  she  tells  you  what  her  deep  passions  are,  boom,  
now  you  can  connect  about  something  that  actually  matters  to  her.    

Classic  ”nice  guys”  would  rather  be  safe  rather  than  being  intimate,  
vulnerable,  truthful,  bold,  polarizing.  They  want  to  say  safe.  There’s  a  

background image

26

shame.      “I’m  so  nice.  I’m  agreeing  with  everything.  I’m  hoping  she’s  
going  to  like  me.”    

There’s  actually  a  shame  that  you’re  afraid  to  be  seen,  that  you’re  afraid  
to  stand  out,  that  you’re  afraid  to  be  rejected.  This  is  what  you  have  to  
let  go.  That  you’re  afraid  that  you  won’t  boldly  state  what  you  believe  
and  you  won’t  set  a  boundary  that  you  won’t  stand  up  for,  for  yourself  
because  you  really  want  that  date.    

Then  you  can’t  say  that  I’m  sad,  or  I’m  grieving  or  I’m  really  hurt.    That’s  
vulnerable.  That’s  also  bold.  Boldly  stating  what’s  true.  The  nice  guy,  the  
opposite  of  bold,  is  afraid  of  all  those  things.  

No.  1  -­‐  they’re  afraid  of  being  rejected.    On  a  deeper  level  they’re  afraid  
to  be  seen  at  all  –  for  fear  of  being  exposed.    Truly  seen.    Because  they  
are  not  being  free  and  true  in  the  world.    They  are  wearing  the  mask  of  
“nice”  –  repressing  who  they  really  are.  

This  is  why  the  nice  guy  is  not  trustable  to  women.  

If  you  haven’t  read  

No  More  Mr.  Nice  Guy

,  get  the  book.  It’s  a  really  

good  book.  One  of  the  practices  he  gives  is  go  somewhere  where  
nobody  knows  you,  across  town.    

Take  a  vacation  to  a  different  city  and  just  go  out  and  talk  to  people,  and  
try  these  techniques  I’ve  given  you  above  so  you  don’t  mind  being  seen  
by  people.  There’s  no  investment  in  that.  You  don’t  know  who  they  are.    
They  don’t  know  who  you  are.    That’s  actually  a  practice.  Go  to  a  
different  country.  Go  where  nobody  knows  you.    

Remember:    you  always  train  people  how  to  treat  you  by  how  you  stand  
for  yourself.      So  if  someone  is  insulting  at  all  to  you,  don’t  allow  it.    
Don’t  allow  people  in  your  life  to  treat  you  badly.  

Dr.  Glover  says,  for  example,  that  a  practice  for  a  man  who  is  too  “nice”  
and  has  too  few  boundaries,  that  you  need  to  say,    “if  you  want  to  hang  
with  me,  this  is  how  you  need  to  treat  me”  -­‐  and  he  sticks  by  that.    

And  they’ll  come  back  with  some  kind  of  insult  or  argument.    He  says  no.  
“I’m  not  saying  that  I’m  the  king  of  the  world  or  anything  weird.  I’m  just  
saying  if  you  want  to  hang  with  me  this  is  how  you  have  to  treat  me.”

27

Straight,  plain  and  simple.    Again,  you’re  not  needy  about  it.  You’re  just  
setting  your  boundaries.    You’re  saying,  “This  is  who  I  am.”  

Now  if  you  have  anyone  in  your  life:  mother,  brother,  so  called  friends,  
ex-­‐girlfriend,  co-­‐workers,  you  need  to  set  your  boundaries.  Remember  if  
you  don’t  stand  for  yourself,  women  won’t  believe  you’ll  stand  for  them
 -­‐  
and  they’ll  be  right.    

When  you  do  this,  you’re  investing  in  yourself  rather  than  investing  in  
someone  else’s  approval.  

LEVERAGING  YOUR  PASSION    

Finally,  one  of  the  last  ways  of  polarizing  a  girl  is  to  talk  about  your  
passion  -­‐  with  passion.    

This  is  one  of  my  favorites,  because  I’m  a  great  passionate  guy.  I’m  a  7  
on  the  enneagram,  if  you  know  what  that  is  –  my  personality  type  is  “the  
enthusiast”  –  so  this  comes  naturally  and  I  have  seen  often  how  women  
get  swept  up  in  me,  and  fall  for  me  when  I  talk  enthusiastically  about  
what  I  love.        

I  live  on  passion.  I  personally  hate  the  idea  of  living  without  being  
passionate  about  what  I’m  doing  everyday.      Of  being  bored  or  doing  
repetitive  work.      I’m  keenly  aware  that  I  have  only  one  life.  So  I  want  to  
do  stuff  that  I’m  really  passionate  about.    

And  I  have  learned  the  more  passionate  you  are  about  who  you  are  and  
what  you’re  doing,  the  more  women  are  going  to  be  caught  up  in  that  
river  of  passion.    

This  is  not  only  about  your  work.    It  could  be  about  your  kids.    Your  
community.    Your  hobbies  or  sports  or  side-­‐interests,  your  charities,  
your  ideas.      

Whatever  turns  you  on  can  inspire  and  turn  on  a  

woman  if  you  show  you  are  passionate  about  it.  

It  is  more  a  turn-­‐on  to  a  young  woman  if  you  are  passionate  about  
building  houses  for  the  poor  than  your  golf  game?    Yeah.

Young  women  tend  to  be  idealistic  –  and  so  the  more  you  can  show  that  
you  are  in  service  to  the  world,  that  you  are  not  just  some  narcissist  
trying  to  get  pussy  –  the  more  they  will  be  INSPIRED.  

How  do  you  do  that?  

Well,  actually  it  starts  with  your  job.  

When  a  woman  asks  what  you  do  for  a  living  –  don’t  answer  directly.  

Don’t  give  a  job  title  –  that’s  a  dead  end.  It  raises  pre-­‐conceived  notions  
and  stops  the  conversation  often.    

Rather  –  talk  about  who  you  serve.    For  example,  if  you  are  an  
accountant  –  “I  help  families  organize  their  finances  so  they  can  take  
more  time  together  and  enjoy  their  years  while  the  kids  are  young.”    

Do  you  see  how  that  lands  on  the  young  woman’s  ears  better  than,  “I  do  
taxes”?  

Whatever  you  do  –  construction  (“I  build  homes  for  families”)  or  
professional  –  you  are  doing  something  for  someone.  

Or…  

Her:  “What  do  you  do  for  a  living?”  

You:    “You  know  what  I  love  best  about  what  I  do?...”  

Then  launch  into  a  story  where  you  draw  her  into  a  tale  of  how  you  were  
a  hero  at  work,  or  how  much  you  love  the  people  you  are  with  or  the  
feeling  of  satisfaction  you  got  after  a  job  well  done.  

Tell  the  story!    That’s  much  more  intriguing  and  attractive  than  a  job  
title.  

Everybody  loves  a  good  story,  well  told.  

In  fact,  that’s  how  humans  have  learned  during  most  of  our  evolution.  A    
good  story  around  a  campfire.  Get  into  a  story  about  the  high  point  of  
whatever  it  is  that  you  do  for  a  living.  The  impact  you’ve  had  on  
somebody  or  the  excitement  you  had.  Something  that’s  exciting.

Let  your  passion  express  and  she’ll  be  interested.  If  she’s  not  interested,  
fine.  Okay  then  you  know  she’s  not  going  to  be  into  you.    But  at  least  
you  polarize  her  out  of  that  neutral  state.    

I  hate  the  term  small  talk.    I’m  bored  with  small  talk.    I  don’t  have  time  
for  small  talk.  

In  my  20s  I  used  to  say,  “I  like  big  talk.”    Big  ideas.  What’s  huge?  What’s  
interesting?  What  passionate?  What’s  inspired?  That’s  all  I  ever  cared  
about.    

My  friend  David  Wygant  and  I  had  a  fantastic  teaching  session  in  The  
Boldness  Code  program[  

www.TheBoldnessCode.com

 ]  which  teaches  

men  how  to  bring  BOLDNESS  to  every  aspect  of  your  life.  

We  were  talking  about  how  to  cut  through  the  B.S.  and  the  small  talk  
that  happens  when  you  first  meet  a  girl  –  and  how  quickly  you  can  bore  
them  and  bore  yourself.  

In  that  class  we  talked  about  how  we  can  just  cut  through  the  small  talk  
and  say  something  like…  

 

“You  know,  we  can  talk  about  our  hobbies.  We  can  talk  about  all  
these  things.  But  ultimately  if  there’s  going  to  be  something  
between  us  –  a  unique  connection,  energy  -­‐  if  there’s  going  to  be  
connection  between  us,  if  there’s  going  to  be  energy  between  us,  it  
really  comes  down  to  how  we  feel  with  each  other.  So  why  don’t  
you  just  tell  me  how  do  you  want  to  feel  with  your  man?”
 

Do  you  feel  the  power  of  that?    Do  you  feel  the  warmth  of  words  like  
connection  and  energy?    Do  you  feel  the  boldness  of  asking  directly  
what’s  in  HER  interest  rather  than  slathering  her  in  the  neediness  of  
your’s.  

It’s  a  great  question  to  ask  a  woman  because  it  puts  her  in  her  perfect  
zone,  which  is  feeling.  And  now  she  gets  to  project  that  feeling  –  
describing  it  –  on  and  to  you.  She’s  going  to  give  you  everything  you  
need  to  know  regarding  how  to  connect  with  her  by  the  way.  

 So  how  are  you  going  to  feel  with  your  men?  She  goes,  “what  do  you  
mean?”  -­‐Well  how  do  you  want  to  feel?    Do  you  want  to  feel  protected?

Do  you  want  to  feel  provoked?  Do  you  want  to  feel  challenged?  Do  you  
want  to  be  bickering  and  bantering?  Some  people  like  argumentative  
relationships,  do  you?    What  didn’t  work  for  you  in  previous  
relationships?    Wow,  you’ve  never  really  been  seen  and  appreciated  for  
the  depth  of  who  you  are,  have  you?  

This  is  the  gift  of  an  older  man  –  we  have  the  perspective  and  wisdom  to  
see  what  is  true  and  what  is  needed.    We  (if  you  have  matured)  do  not  
just  run  around  with  your  little  ego  trying  to  get,  get,  get.    We  can  FEEL  
other  people  in  their  depth.  

And  listen  –  when  you  listen  –  you  will  learn  what  you  need  to  know  
about  a  young  woman  –  and  whether  she  is  going  to  be  right  for  you.  

“Some  women  want  really  safe  relationships.  Some  women  want  
to  have  adventurous  relationships.  Some  people  want  to  sit  on  the  
sidelines.  Some  people  want  to  go  dancing  till  four  in  the  morning.  
Tell  me  how  you  want  to  feel?  Do  you  long  to  feel,  do  you  want  to  
feel  adventurous.  Talk  to  me…”  

See  how  this  works?    Show  an  interest  in  the  IMPORTANT  THINGS.  

And  then  you  could  also  say  something  like  this.    

“Describe  to  me  a  perfect  day  with  your  perfect  man  on  a  
Sunday.  But  don’t  just  tell  me  what  you’re  doing.  Tell  me  how  
you’re  feeling  throughout  the  day.    Because  ultimately    -­‐  if  we  
really  connect,  I  want  to  know  what  truly  makes  you  happy.    
If  we  can  make  each  other  feel  that  way  then  we’ve  really  got  
something.”  

You  can  also  say  something  electric  and  polarizing…  

“Because  if  we  can’t  make  each  other  felt  he  way  we  
each  like  to  feel,  we  should  end  this  date  right  now.”  

Now  when  you  say  that,  it  provokes  her.  Holy  shit!    He’s  sitting  a  
boundary.  He’s  not  just  trying  to  win  me  over!      Wow!  He’d  be  ready  to  
end  this  date  if  it  didn’t  fit  his  personal  standards.    That’s  awesome.  
That’s  bold.  That’s  powerful.

“But  you  don’t  leave  it  there.  After  you  let  it  sink  in,  then  you  
say,  “…but  if  we  can  make  each  other  feel  the  way  we  want  to  
feel  in  relationship.  This  can  be  a  really  beautiful  thing.”    

You  offer  that  promising  vision  of  the  future…    and  then  let  her  speak.    
Let  her  fill  in  the  detail  of  your  beautiful  future  relationship.      See  how  
this  works?      Your  job:    shut  up.    Let  her  talk.    Hold  the  space  for  her  to  
fill  in  all  the  delicious  details  about  her  fulfilled  relationship  with  you.  

So  how  do  you  like  to  feel  with  a  man?    

That’s  a  great  question.  And  contextualize  it  that  way  for  her.  As  in,    
“We  can  do  small  talk  but  what  really  matters  is  how  we  feel  with  each  
other.  So  how  do  you  want  to  feel  with  your  man?”  

I’m  giving  you  lots  of  different  options.    This  all  works.  The  key  thing  is  
not  to  do  blather  and  white  noise.  You  can  do  really  outlandish  things  as  
well.  I  know  a  guy  who  went  around  at  bars  and  he  says  like,  “have  you  
ever  milked  a  cow?”  That’s  a  great  opening  line.  And  they  would  go,  
“why  are  you  asking?”    And  he’d  just  be  silly  but  deliver  it  very  seriously,  
“Because  I’m  really  trying  to  meet  an  old  -­‐fashioned  woman  and  I  have  
this  idea  that  old-­‐fashioned  women  know  how  to  milk  cows.  “  

Is  it  absurd?  Heck,  yes,  it’s  absurd.  Is  it  funny?  Awesome.  Does  it  play  in  
their  emotions  a  little  bit  because  you  want  an  old-­‐fashioned  woman?    
You  bet.    Women  kind  of  like  that.  They  want  to  feel  old-­‐fashioned  in  
some  ways.  There’s  something  sweet  about  it.    

Either  way  it  polarizes  them  one  way  or  another.  -­‐A  very,  very  funny  way  
to  open  a  conversation.  Outlandish  things.  There’s  a  lot  of  this.  I  won’t  
go  into  it.  But  the  idea  of  being  outlandish  -­‐  it’s  a  great  practice.  If  you  
ever  come  to  boot  camps  of  mine  or  workshops,  sometimes  I’ll  give  you  
exercises.  Exercises  to  walk  into  a  pizza  shop  and  ask  for  a  shoe.  I’d  like  a  
shoe  please.  Or  a  shoe  store  and  ask  for  a  slice  of  pizza.    

Just  to  have  that  experience  of  doing  something  crazy  and  risking  public  
ridicule,  public  confusion,  disapproval  -­‐I  want  you  to  do  that.  You  know  
why?  Because  then  you’ll  see  it  doesn’t  matter.  Validation  must  come  
from  within.  

Because  you’ll  walk  out  of  that  store  and  you’re  still  you.    Your  body  is  
still  attached.  Your  blood  is  still  flowing.  Your  brain  is  still  there.  It’s  still

you.  It  doesn’t  matter  how  people  respond.  It  doesn’t  matter  how  girls  
respond  to  you  at  a  bar.    

Now,  if  you  live  in  a  small  town  and  everybody  knows  you,  all  right,  
maybe  it  matters  a  little  more.  Or  your  might  get  a  great  reputation  as  
the  guy  who’s  totally  not  afraid  to  say  anything!  

But  it  doesn’t  matter  if  a  particular  girl  says  yes  or  no.  The  important  
thing  is  that  it  provokes  them  into  paying  attention.  Some  girls  love  you  
for  being  different  or  saying  something  crazy.    

Mark  Manson  tells  the  story  about  a  guy  -­‐  and  I  don’t  recommend  this  –  
a  guy  at  the  bar  who  says  to  every  girl  he  walks  up  to:    “can  I  piss  in  your  
ass?”    

I  am  not  kidding.  Can  I  piss  in  your  ass?  Ninety  percent  of  women  run  
away  as  best  they  could!      But  guess  what…    

The  really  daring,  fun,  kind  of  like  ballsy  woman  thought  he  was  hilarious  
for  even  saying  it.  Like  who  is  this  guy  who  would  say  something  so  
crazy?  Can  I  piss  in  your  ass?  Don’t  quote  me  as  recommending  doing  
this    -­‐-­‐  I’m  simply  relating  a  story  of  outrageous  approach  that  polarizes  
women.    

But  that’s  the  kind  of  thing  you  can  do  to  stand  out.    -­‐The  outlandish  
mode.  You  can  always  try  something  outlandish.    

You’ll  estrange  most  women  but  some  will  ask,  “Why.  Why  are  you  even  
saying  this?!”    It’s  interesting.    It’s  different.    Now  they’re  interested  in  
you.    

We  have  two  more  categories.    

CONVERSATION  AND  THE  RISK  LADDER  

The  next  category  is  to  understand  how  normal  human  conversation  
unfolds.  Women,  and  in  fact  men  too,  need  to  put  out  “safety”  feelers  
first.    They  need  to  get  the  lay  of  the  land.    

In  the  old  days,  when  we  were  wandering  around  the  Savannah  all  those  
hundreds  of  thousands  of  years,  when  you  came  across  a  new  tribe  or  a  

background image

33

new  person  –  it  was  by  nature  dangerous.    You  had  to  feel  them  out.  Is  
this  friend  or  foe?    

This  is  why  we  shake  hands  –  to  show  we  are  not  concealing  weapons  in  
our  sword  hand.  Why  today  do  we  fist  bump?      For  me,  it’s  more  
hygienic.  Don’t  want  to  catch  that  hand  AIDS.  

It’s  a  very  human  thing  to  “feel  out”  the  other  person  for  safety.    When  I  
was  doing  a  lot  of  Hollywood  movies,  the  one  thing  I  loved  as  a  writer  is  
meeting  interesting  people.  You  know,  when  you  walk  in  for  your  
meeting,  your  pitch  meeting  with  the  studio,  you  come  in  and  everyone  
kind  of  stands  there  and  then  they  have  you  sit  down.    

And  there’s  lots  of  small  talk  about  the  awful  traffic,  about  your  kids,  
about  something  that  happened  that  week.  -­‐All  very  innocuous.  And  the  
reason  why  you  have  that  innocuous  conversation  is  that  it’s  not  about  
the  subject  matter  but  you’re  feeling  each  other  out.  You’re  watching  
their  body  language.  Are  they  funny?  Are  they  light?  Are  they  tense?  Are  
they  threatening?  Are  they  a  threat?  Are  they  likeable?      

There’s  a  reason  you  do  that  small  talk  at  the  beginning  of  the  meeting  
because  it  creates  a  little  bit  of  security  so  that  you  can  then  get  into  
what  you’re  going  to  talk  about.    

It’s  the  same  with  meeting  women.  That  initial  “how  are  you  doing,  who  
do  you  know  here  at  the  party?”  talk  is  just  a  way  to  show  that  you  are  
safe.    On  a  date  –  you  want  to  tell  her  she’s  beautiful.    Did  she  have  any  
trouble  finding  the  place.    All  that  small  talk.  There  is  a  reason  for  that.  

Because  while  you’re  doing  that  in  those  first  crucial  minutes  that  you  
are  together  -­‐  she’s  getting  a  comfortable  with  you  because  her  sensors  
are  reading  your  body.
   

How  does  your  body  make  her  feel?  Are  you  standing  with  confidence?  
Are  you  fidgety  or  nervous?  Are  you  eyes  darting  all  over  the  place,  
checking  out  other  girls?    Are  you  breathing  deeply  or  shallowly?  

So  first  you  want  to  establish  security.  With  the  body  language  stuff  I  
show  you  elsewhere  be  in  my  program,  

The  Boldness  Code

.      

You  want  to  establish  that  security.

I  want  you  to  know  what’s  happening  around  you.  You’re  a  sociologist.  
You’re  a  scientist.  This  is  what  happens  between  two  humans  –  study  
what’s  going  on.    You  want  to  establish  a  little  security,  make  her  feel  
safe,  make  her  feel  calm.    

Then  once  she  feels  safe,  you  can  start  increasing  risk.      You  begin  with  
very  safe  small  talk,  then  increase  the  risk  of  conversation  to  talk  about  
feelings  and  emotions,  then  higher  into  matters  of  life  and  death  and  
finally  sexuality.    It’s  a  carefully  calibrated  navigation.  

This  is  a  different  mode,  obviously,  than  walking  up  to  a  woman  and  
saying,  “can  I  piss  in  your  ass?”  This  is  the  more  normal  human  
interaction.  I’ll  give  an  example  of  how  to  do  this…  

When  I  was  in  London  doing  a  boot  camp,  I  wanted  to  teach  all  this  deep  
stuff  about  purpose  and  boldness.  But  all  the  guys  wanted  was:  go  pick  
up  that  girl.  How  do  you  pick  up  that  girl?    Show  us  how  you  pick  up  that  
girl.  I’m  not  a  pick-­‐  up  artist  by  any  means,  but  I  can  do  it  because  I  know  
I  know  how  to  connect  and  create  electricity.  

So  I’ll  give  an  example.  There  was  a  beautiful  girl.  Oh  lord.  And  we’re  still  
Facebook  friends.  And  I  saw  her,  and  she  was  sitting  in  kind  of  a  low  
window  out  in  the  street  in  Soho  in  London.    

And  she  was  watching  all  the  people  walking  back  and  forth  –  a  busy  
Saturday  night  crowd  -­‐  and  I  went  and  leaned  up  against  the  building.  
Put  my  back  to  the  building  kind  of  next  to  her.  She  was  sitting  in  the  
window.    

And  I  looked  at  someone  passing  by  and  followed  her  eyes  and  I  say,  
“8.5.”  She  goes  “what?”    I  said,  “He’s  an  8.5.  Oh  that’s  a  5.3.  You’re  
rating  everybody  quietly  to  yourself.  I  know  what  you’re  doing.  Come  on.  
Let’s  do  it  together.”  

And  she  laughed.  She  thought  that  was  funny  because  it  was  like  a  
parade  of  people  going  by.  So  we  were  rating  how  hot  people  were.  It  
was  really  funny.  Now  what  would  have  happened  if  I  walked  up  to  her  
and  look  at  her  in  the  eye  and  said,  “hey  that  guy  behind  me  8.5,  right?  
That’s  ridiculous.”  Okay.  I’ve  not  established  security.  

background image

35

What  I  did  was  I  stood  looking  in  the  same  direction  with  her.    I  let  her  
notice  me.    Feel  me.    I  was  not  a  threat.    I  was  curious.    I  was  watching  
what  she  was  watching  –  a  kind  of  quiet  rapport.  

And  I  love  doing  this  by  the  way.  This  works  well  for  me.  You  stand  next  
to  her.  Lean  against  the  wall  or  just  next  to  her.  You  look  out  at  the  
world  with  the  same  eyes.  You’re  companionate.    You  make  it  safe  for  
her.    

You’re  not  confrontational,  you’re  not  “hitting  on  her”  (interesting  how  
pugilistic  and  confrontational  that  word  is!).        

Remember  when  you’re  opposite  somebody,  when  you’re  looking  
someone  straight  in  the  eyes  right  across  them,  it’s  confrontational.  

 It  can  be  very  sexy  if  you  do  it  right.  But  it  can  also  be  threatening.    

Because  I  was  able  to  create  safety  by  standing  next  to  her  and  looking  
out  onto  the  world  with  her,  it  allowed  me  to  say  something  a  little  
outrageous.  It  was  awesome.  I’m  still  a  little  bit  in  love  with  her.  

What  happened  next?    I  could  tell  from  her  accent  she  was  Slavic  so  I  
asked  –  she  made  e  guess…    I  said  -­‐  Croatia,  Slovakia  or  Czech  Republic.  I  
couldn’t  guess.  It  got  funny.    I  ran  out  of  countries.    She  finally  told  me  –  
Serbia.    Oops.    I  forgot  about  that  one.    So  rather  than  admit  that,  I  said,  
“Serbia?    That’s  not  a  real  place.    That’s  in  fairy  tales.”  

And  I  just  gave  her  shit  for  fun.      I  played  it  totally  seriously.  

She  thought  it  was  funny.  We  were  bantering.  I  really  liked  her.  She  gave  
me  shit  back.  Her  friend  got  up  and  went  to  the  bathroom.  And  she  
looked  at  me  very  seriously  and  said,  “look  before  you  say  anything  else  
-­‐  I  really  like  you,  but  I  have  to  tell  you  I  have  a  boyfriend.”  

She  was  awesome  for  saying  that.  And  I  said,  “let  me  ask  you  a  question.  
Does  he  genuinely  love  you?  Do  you  feel  really  happy  with  him?”  

And  she  thought  and  she  goes,  “yeah  I  really  do.”  

So,  okay  –  I  immediately  let  it  go  because  I  respected  the  genuineness  
with  which  she  said  it.    We  agreed  to  remain  attracted  friends.  And  
because  I  was  not  needy  with  her,  we  left  it  that  if  she  ever  felt  

background image

36

uncherished  by  him,  guess  who  would  be  the  first  to  get  a  message  on  
Facebook  across  the  world?  

 Me.  

Because  there  was  no  neediness  in  me  at  all.    

That’s  core  to  what  I’m  trying  to  teach  you.  Establish  safety,  be  
outrageous  and  bold  and…  no  neediness.    

Now  the  other  thing  you  can  do  going  back  to  the  outrageous  opener,  
the  outrageous  conversation…  

I  was  just  remembering  this  the  other  day  that  when  I  first  started  dating  
-­‐  before  I  ever  went  online,  before  I  meet  any  girl.  I  was  embarrassed  to  
go  dating.    

I  was  such  a  nice  guy.  I  didn’t  want  to  be  seen  as  hitting  on  girls.  I  had  
been  married  for  a  lot  of  years  and  even  though  I  wanted  new  girls,  it  
felt  “wrong.”    

So  I  was  going  to  these  business  mixers  even  though  I  didn’t  have  a  
business.  I  was  a  screenwriter  full  time.    

But  I  figured  I  could  meet  some  girls.  I  figured  girls  go  there  and  it  
doesn’t  look  like  dating  so  it’s  safe  for  me.  And  I  walked  into  one  of  
these  things  and  this  guy  was  standing  at  the  head  of  the  stairs.  His  
name  is  Matt  Brown.  This  was  12  years  ago  and  I  still  remember  the  
moment.  I  walked  in  and  he  threw  his  hand  toward  me  and  goes,  “Hi,  
I’m  Matt!  What  your  passion??”  

Now  kind  of  crazy  thing  to  say,  right?    But  that’s  how  this  guy  lived.    
Bold.    Passionate.    He’s  a  Tony  Robbins  guy  and  a  coach  so  that’s  his  life.    
He  meant  it.  That’s  how  he  lives  

And  the  only  answer  I  could  come  up  with  then  was  “um…not  
committing  suicide?”  

 It  was  all  I  could  think  of.  That’s  what  I  felt.  So  he  changed  my  life.  He  
woke  me  up.  He  got  me  thinking:  Damn  what  is  my  passion?  And  
because  of  him  I  got  into  some  entrepreneurial  stuff.  Because  of  that  I  
eventually  got  here  by  the  way.  I  ran  into  David  Deida’s  work  and  by

then  I  already  really  had  mastered  online  dating.      It  all  led  me  deeper  
and  deeper  into  this  work  –  of  teaching  and  exploring  what  it  is  to  love,  
to  connect,  to  lead,  to  live  a  bold,  happy,  free  life.  

So  him  saying  “what  is  your  passion”  really  woke  me  up  –  it  changed  the  
direction  of  my  life.  

You  can  try  to  do  that.  You  can  do  that  with  a  woman.  You  say  “Hey,  hi,  
I’m  Kevin.  What’s  your  passion?”  

Like  that.  Look  her  in  the  eye.  That’s  kind  of  confrontational.  But  if  you  
care,  now  hopefully  you  do  care  about  the  women  you  meet  and  their  
passion
 -­‐  you  can  do  that  –  and  cut  through  all  the  small  talk.  

So  that’s  bold.  Sometimes  you  want  to  establish  that  kind  of  security.  
Lean  against  the  wall;  look  out  at  the  world  with  her.  Have  a  little  small  
talk.  Let  her  have  you  assess  you  a  little  bit.  Or  sometimes  you  may  want  
to  just  shoot  for  gold  sooner  and  try,  “Hey,  what’s  your  passion?”  

 Or  say  –  “You  know  what  I  like  about  you,  you’re  not  a  bullshitter.”  

There’s  no  one  right  way.  I’m  giving  you  different  ways  of  being  bold.  
Again  the  key  is  to  polarize  those  neutral  girls  by  being  bold.  Try  them  all  
out.  

LEVELS  OF  CONVERSATION  

Finally,  I  want  to  talk  about  levels  of  conversation.    

There  are  a  few  different  levels  of  conversations  that  you  can  have  with  
girls  and  be  bold  at  each  level.  The  key  is  whatever  you’re  doing  own  it,  
boldly  own  it.  Boldly  own  the  state  you’re  in.  If  you  have  the  dominant  
state,  chances  are  she  will  flow  right  along  into  your  river.  She’ll  be  
swept  off  the  shore  and  be  in  your  state.    

So  if  you’re  in  a  light  flirtation  state,  be  in  that.  Don’t  apologize  for  it.    
She’ll  follow  you.  

If  you’re  in  a  deep  emotional  spiritual  place,  own  that.  Don’t  break  the  
tension.  Hold  that  tension.  If  you  really  want  to  know  what  her  passion  
is,  ask  and  stay  still.    Don’t  break  that  tension  with  a  joke  or  by  moving.      

background image

38

If  you  sense  that  she’s  just  living  a  half-­‐life  and  just  settling,  say  that,  but  
don’t  let  her  off  the  hook.    Stay  there  with  her.  Show  that  you  mean  it  
whatever  it  is  that  you’re  doing.  That’s  sexual  tension.    

That  means  you’re  not  afraid.  You’re  not  afraid  of  the  outcome  whether  
you’re  flirting,  whether  you’re  being  sexual  and  saying  “I  want  you  to  
come  home  with  me  tonight,”  whether  you’re  deeply  spiritual  in  the  
moment  or  emotionally  vulnerable  -­‐-­‐    you  don’t  care  about  the  outcome  
because  you’re  holding  your  state
.  Staying  grounded  in  your  current  
frame  is  the  priority.    Holding  it  no  matter  what  she  throws  at  you.    
Otherwise,  she  is  establishing  the  frame  and  will  sense  your  weakness.  

This  sounds  very  severe  but  actually  it’s  fun  when  you  do  this  because  it  
liberates  you  from  worrying  about  what  other  people  say.    

The  first  kind  of  conversation  is  informational.  

We’ve  talked  about  this  above,  establishing  safety,  exchanging  bits  of  
data.  What  do  you  do?  Where  are  you  from?    -­‐That  kind  of  stuff.    And  
again  this  also  includes  the  nonverbal:  your  body,  your  breath,  your  
voice  tonality,  eye  contact.  What  I  want  you  to  do  at  that  level  is  to  
watch  her  closely…  

You  can  bet  that  she  is  reading  you.  I  want  you  to  read  her.  Pay  attention  
to  when  she  lights  up.  If  she  lights  up  you  say,  “You  know  I  have  to  say  
from  the  way  you  just  lit  up,  I  think  that’s  really  what’s  important  to  
you.”  

Wow!      A  man  who  actually  pays  attention  to  what’s  in  the  moment!    
She  will  be  shocked  and  pleased.  

 Or…  

“From  the  way  you  just  lit  up,  I  have  a  feeling  you’re  not  really  doing  in  
your  life  what  you  want  to  be  doing.”  

Or  if  she  shows  weariness…  

“From  the  way  you  just  lit  up,  it  strikes  me  you  need  a  vacation.  You  
need  to  get  away.”    

background image

39

Whatever  it  is.  Pay  attention  to  her.  If  she  said  something  that  clearly  
makes  her  body  feel  good,  the  animal  of  her  body  (I  love  that  
expression,  the  animal  of  her  body),  you  growl,  say  something  like,  
“hmm,  that  really  makes  you  feel  good,  doesn’t  it?”    And  hang  with  her  
in  that  moment.  Let  her  know  that  your  body  felt  what  her  body  felt.  Pay  
attention.  What  I  want  you  to  do  is  to  pay  attention  to  the  little  signals  
she’s  giving.  

Men  rarely  do  this,  and  your  younger  woman  will  be  impressed  by  how  
penetrating,  present  and  wise  you  are.    She  will  feel  seen,  heart,  noticed  
and  appreciated.  

What’s  exciting  her?  What’s  scaring  her?  What’s  boring  her?  What  turns  
her  on,  especially  what  turns  her  on?    

Now  the  second  level  of  conversation  is  about  her  emotional  life.  This  is  
the  next  level  of  “risk.”  There’s  a  level  of  risk  in  all  conversation.  How’s  
the  weather?    Not  much  risk.  Do  you  hate  your  mother?    Some  more  
risk.  Would  you  like  to  go  home  and  get  naked?  Even  more  risk.    

So  in  normal  conversation  you  create  safety  and  then  you  start  upping  
the  risk.    On  an  emotional  level  you  talk  about  family,  children,  pets.    
You  can  bond  over  how  much  you  love  dogs,  how  much  you  love  your  
brother,  babies,  whatever  it  is.    

But  now  you’re  getting  into  emotional  conversation.  And  what  I  want  
you  to  do  here  again  pay  especial  attention  to  the  extremes.  Pay  
attention  how  she  feels.  Look  for  signals  of  when  she  mentions  her  
brother,  her  work,  then  take  it  deeper.  

Another  way  -­‐  I  love  taking  a  girl  back  into  her  innocence,  back  into  her  
childhood  if  she  mentions  where  she  grew  up.  This  is  an  easy  
conversation  by  the  way  for  guys  who  have  a  hard  time  with  
conversation.  Where  are  you  from?  I’m  from  New  Hampshire.    

You:  “Wow,  New  Hampshire,  That’s  kind  of  exotic.  What  was  like?  Did  
you  grow  up  in  the  country?”  

Her:    “Yeah,  I  did.”    

You:  “Take  me  back.  If  you  close  your  eyes  right  now,  I  want  you  to  paint  
a  picture  because  I’ve  never  been  to  New  Hampshire.  Paint  a  picture  for  

background image

40

me  of  what  it  felt  like  you’re  happiest  day.  Just  going  back  what  is  your  
happiest  day.  Can  you  describe  to  me  what  it  felt  like,  what  you  heard,  
what  you  can  see,  what  you  can  smell…”  

And  you  kind  of  close  your  eyes  with  her.  Go  back  with  her.    What’s  
happening  emotionally  is  that  now  you  left  the  room  that  you’re  sitting  
in,  and  she’s  going  back  to  being  a  little  girl  with  you.  And  she’s  going  to  
anchor  her  innocent  happy  story  with  you.  

Doesn’t  that  work  out  well  for  you!?    It’s  a  great  thing  to  do  -­‐  to  open  up  
and  explore  her  emotions.  And  it’s  really  good  for  you  to  have  a  
childhood  story  of  your  own.    So  if  she  asks  where  you  came  from  –  
bring  her  to  something  beautiful  and  tender.  

Take  me.    I  grew  up  about  20  miles  north  of  NY,  in  what  was  then  a  
pretty  wild  and  woodsy  bend  in  the  river.  

If  a  woman  asks  me  where  I  come  from,  I  don’t  just  say,  “New  York.”    

Just  like  I  don’t  say  what  my  job  is,  I  instead  take  them  into  an  
experience.    Here’s  and  example  of  my  answer:    

“I’m  actually  from  the  Hudson  Valley.  It’s  this  beautiful  
shadowy  part  of  the  turn  of  the  river.  We  used  to  go  out  in  the  
woods  and  watch  as  the  thunder  would  come  rolling  down  the  
river.  You  know  they  used  to  write  about  it  like  it  was  a  giant  
bowling  alley  in  heaven  because  it  was  so  loud  –  Washington  
Irving  who  wrote  Rip  Van  Winkle  and  Sleepy  Hollow  –  which  is  
near  my  house.  We  used  to  go  running  under  the  bed  my  
brother  and  sister…  “  

And  now  you’re  telling  a  story.  It’s  awesome.    

I  talk  about  how  we  used  to  catch  frogs  and  turtles.  I  just  tell  a  story  
about  my  little  blue  plastic  boat,  how  I  used  to  set  it  into  the  river  and  
make  believe  we  were  pirates.  You  know  fun  stories,  past  stories.  Those  
are  all  true  stories,  by  the  way.    

So  instead  of  simply  saying  where  you’re  from,  say  whatever  is  tender,  
or  colorful,  or  fascinating,  or  touching  about  your  growing  up  story…  

background image

41

“I  come  from  a  place  where  every  morning  we  would  get  up  and  milk  the  
chickens.  Cause  everybody  milks  chickens,  right?  Go  milk  the  cows.  Get  
the  egg  from  the  cows.”  

Or…  

“I  grew  up  over  a  delicatessen  in  Brooklyn  and  my  favorite  thing  was  to  
watch  all  the  old  men  sit  outside  and  shoot  the  shit.    I  heard  all  kinds  of  
crazy  things…  etc…”  

Whatever  it  is.  How  you  grew  up.  Take  her  into  an  emotional  story.  
Don’t  just  give  her  information  because  on  an  emotional  level,  this  is  the  
place  for  real  curiosity.    

Offer  your  heart.  Offer  your  reflection.  Offer  funny  stories.  Show  your  
vulnerability.  Show  her  the  little  boy  you  were.    

She’s  going  to  like  you.  Women  are  programmed  to  like  little  children.  So  
she  sees  this  grown  man  –  you  -­‐  and  you  can  talk  so  tenderly  about  
being  a  little  child.    

Don’t  just  give  her  information.  You  bring  her  into  a  story.    

The  next  level,  the  third  level  is  relational  conversation.    It’s  unusual  and  
it’s  actually  kind  of  cool.    

Relational  conversation  is  a  way  of  bringing  her  into  the  moment  of  
what’s  happening  right  now.    

Here’s  a  powerful  way  to  do  this  –  and  it’s  so  simple.    I  learned  if  from  
the  guys  up  at  The  Authentic  Man  Project.      

The  phrase  is:    “I’m  noticing.”    

I  learned  it  first  from  girls  I’ve  dated  who  are  part  of  that  crowd  up  there  
in  San  Francisco.      When  we  were  talking,  they  would  say  things  like,  
“When  you  tell  me  how  much  you  appreciate  how  well  I  listen  to  you,  I  
feel  all  warm  inside.”  

I  was  thinking,  “wow  this  is  girl  who  is  really  self  aware.  She’s  noticing  
what’s  happening  in  her  body  and  she’s  noticing  her  thoughts  as  we’re  
talking.  Who  does  that?”

42

Well  now  I  know.    A  lot  of  people  in  San  Francisco!        

It’s  a  very  effective  conversational  tool.  So  you  could  say  “I’m  noticing  
I’m  feeling  happy  talking  to  you  right  now.”  Or,    “I’m  really  excited  to  be  
connecting  with  you.  You’re  really  cool.  You’re  the  best  thing  that  
happened  to  me  all  day.”    Or  simply,  “I’m  noticing  that  I’m  feeling  happy  
right  now,  sitting  here  with  you.”    Or,  “When  you  just  laughed  right  now,  
you  know,  I  could  really  hear  that  southern  belle  come  through.”    “I’m  
noticing  that  I  find  myself  strangely  drawn  to  you  when  you  laugh  like  
that.”  

And,  through  it  all,  you’re  telling  her  the  truth  about  what’s  happening.  
You’re  not  doing  this  as  a  “line.”    

Here’s  another.  This  was  suggested  by  my  friend,  Bryan  Bayer,  from  the  
Authentic  Man  Program  in  San  Francisco:  “As  you  were  talking  I  just  
have  a  flash  of  us  taking  a  trip  to  snowshoeing  in  the  Rockies.  It’s  one  of  
those  ski  camps  for  the  weekend.”  

This  is  called  future  pacing.  It’s  painting  a  fantasy  picture.    It  lights  up  the  
listener’s  imagination.  

Now,  I  don’t  particularly  want  to  go  snowshoeing.  That  sounds  awful  to  
me  but  I  love  the  concept.    “As  you  were  talking  I  just  had  this  flash….”  

That’s  an  awesome  thing  to  say  if  it’s  true.    

Here’s  another  take  on  how  to  play  with  this…  

Right  now  I’m  getting  a  sense  of  how  crafty  you  are.  I’m  going  to  have  
to  be  a  little  careful  around  you.  I  can  tell  you’re  crafty.”
 

That’s  cool  because  you’re  showing  that  you  heard  what  she  said  and  
that  it’s  having  an  impact  on  you.    

“You  know,  I  notice  when  you  told  me  that  story  about  your  childhood  
I’m  feeling  much  closer  to  you.  I  feel  like  I’m  really  getting  the  truth  of  
who  you  are.”  

 That’s  a  bold  thing  to  say.    A  “nice  guy”  is  afraid  to  say  things  like  that.  
So  pay  attention  to  what  is  happening  within  you.  

“I’m  noticing  I  feel  concern  about  you  around  that.”    

background image

43

“I’m  noticing  my  heart  got  tight  when  you  told  me  that  story  about  when  
your  mother  died.  I’m  feeling  sad  myself  even  though  I’m  just  beginning  
to  know  you.”  

These  are  beautiful  statements  if  you  are  true  to  her.  Now  she’s  saying  
“wow  here’s  a  guy  who  is  actually  paying  attention  to  me.    He  responds  
to  what  I  actually  say.”  

Who  doesn’t  want  a  responsive  partner?    Everybody  wants  a  responsive  
partner.  They  want  to  feel  like  they  have  impact  on  each  other.    

As  if  they  matter.  

Behind  it  all,  people  –  men  and  women  both  -­‐  want  to  have  an  impact  on  
the  world.  Some  people  will  settle  for  just  having  an  impact  on  one  
person.      Be  that  “one”  in  the  moment.      

Show  your  woman  her  she’s  having  an  impact  on  you  in  the  moment.  
Show  her  that  you’re  alive  –  and  live  to  her.      

Here’s  a  way  to  both  increase  your  own  ability  to  feel  women  and  to  be  
more  self-­‐aware  of  your  own  responses.  

Place  this  impact  statement  “I’m  noticing”  in  a  specific  place  in  your  
body.  

For  example…  

“I’m  noticing  that  my  heart  started  racing  when  you  told  me  that  story.”  

“I’m  noticing  I  started  getting  a  tightness  in  my  throat  when  you  told  me  
that  story.”    

“I’m  just  noticing  that  my  body  feels  warm  and  calm  every  time  you  talk  
about  your  dog/childhood  home/whatever.”  

Here’s  the  thing…    you’re  now  talking  about  your  body.  Guess  what.  You  
want  to  be  talking  about  your  body.    
Now  she’s  thinking  about  and  
paying  attention  to  your  body.    How  easy  is  that.  

So  too  you  could  talk  to  her  about  her  body.    Let  her  know  that  you  are  
feeling  –  really  feeling  and  paying  attention  to  her.    Remember  –  most  

background image

44

men  are  way  in  their  heads  and  they  don’t  really  pay  attention  to  what  
women  are  saying.  

What  you  can  say  about  her?      

“I  notice  your  cheek  flushed  when  you  said  that  about  your  dad.  That  
tells  me  that  you  really  love  him”  

“I  noticed  notice  you  held  your  chest  when  you  said  that  about  your  boss,  
and  I’m  wondering  if  you  feel  afraid.”  

Now  you’re  noticing  her  body.  Now  your  bodies  are  in  the  conversation.    

A  bold  man,  a  present  man,  a  man  of  experience  pays  attention  to  
what’s  happening  in  the  moment.    He’s  not  wrapped  up  in  his  ego  or  his  
ambition.    He  feels  a  woman’s  heart.    He  feels  a  woman’s  hopes.    He  
feels  a  woman’s  emotions.  

And  your  woman  will  be  not  only  astonished  –  but  deeply  grateful.  

A  man  of  experience  isn’t  afraid  to  bring  their  body  into  the  
conversation,  especially  if  it  is  a  way  of  bringing  her  into  a  truth.  

In  fact,  it  will  create  the  trust  with  her  that  you  want  to  create.  

I  learned  this  in  my  study  of  sales  and  marketing:  when  you  can  
articulate  somebody’s  inner  state  better  than  they  can  –  they  will  feel  a  
deep  trust  for  you.    In  sales,  of  course,  they  will  buy  from  you.    In  dating  
or  intimacy  –  if  your  insight  is  done  from  a  true  heart  place  –  she  will  
more  likely  surrender  to  your  lead,  body,  mind  and  soul.  

If  you  blather  on  about  yourself  and  ignore  her  state  in  the  moment  –  
she  will  more  likely  check  out  and  look  for  an  escape  route.  

As  well  she  should.  

I  want  to  give  you  a  further  distinction:  this  one  between  the  sucking-­‐up  
“nice  guy”  who  is  trying  to  “nice”  his  way  into  a  woman’s  good  graces,  
vs.  a  bold  man  of  experience  who  cuts  through  to  the  truth.  

[Note:    when  I  say  “nice  guy”  –  notice  the  definition.    I  don’t  mean  a  
“kind  man,”  which  you  should  be.    “Nice  guy”  is  a  term  we  use  for  
spineless  beggar  for  approval.    Not  the  same  thing.]  

background image

45

The  “nice  guy”  is  just  going  to  try  to  win  her  approval.    He  will  not  be  
able  to  cut  through  the  small  talk  to  get  the  truth  of  her  emotions,  the  
truth  of  the  moment,  the  hidden  reality  that  is  not  being  expressed  by  
anyone  at  the  table.    He  will  respond  to  everything  she  says,  “wow,  
that’s  really  interesting!    Wow,  really!  Oh  boy,  that  was  great!”    

He  will  add  nothing  to  the  depth  of  the  moment.    He  will  experience  no  
self-­‐noticing,  no  awareness  of  what  she  wants  to  say  but  is  afraid  to  say.    
He  will  not  be  able  to  bring  her  out  of  her  stories  and  into  the  moment.    

He  will  never  say  things  like…  

“As  I’m  listening  to  you,  I  am  having  this  thought  –  that  you’ve  never  
really  been  seen  and  loved  for  who  you  are,  and  its  probably  because  
men  are  so  struck  by  your  beauty,  they  never  get  to  core  of  who  you  are  
as  a  human  being,  is  that  true?”  

“I’m  noticing  that  as  you  describe  your  life  that  you  are  not  surrounded  
by  people  who  can  meet  you  at  your  level,  that  you  are  ready  for  a  more  
evolved  community  where  you  can  be  yourself.”  

By  the  way,  I’ve  said  both  of  these  things  –  and  within  the  last  two  
weeks!    The  first  was  to  a  Swedish  model/nutritionist  who  is  a  profound  
thinker  and  meditator  –  so  stunning  that  every  eye  in  the  restaurant  
follows  us  when  we  enter.    I  even  told  her  matter-­‐  of-­‐  factly  that  most  
men  could  never  get  to  the  depth  of  her  heart  because  she  makes  
Claudia  Schiffer  look  like  Mrs.  Shrek.      

The  second  thing  I  said  to  the  gorgeous  young  Greek  goddess,  who  
happens  to  be  asleep  next  to  me  as  I’m  writing  this  as  we  fly  South  from  
L.A.  to  even  sunnier  climes.    And  we  just  met  a  couple  of  weeks  
ago.(never  divuluges  “second  thing!”)  

So  I  want  you  to  understand  when  I  teach  you  these  techniques  and  
these  communication  skills  –  they  are  actually  heart  skills,  life  skills,  
intimacy  skills  –  that  this  is  not  theory.    This  is  how  I  live  my  life.  

So  few  men  know  how  to  reflect  back  a  woman’s  impact  on  them  in  the  
moment  (and  I  don't  mean  her  beauty,  I  mean,  among  other  things,  her  
veiled  emotions,  her  evident  feelings,  her  truth,  her  vulnerability,  her  
adorable,  wounded  heart).

But  these  are  powerful  tools  to  create  deep  rapport,  instant  heart-­‐
connection  and  trust  –  and  establish  you  as  the  wise  man  of  experience  
she  is  looking  for  in  you.  

So,  that’s  what  we  call  a  “relational”  conversation.    It’s  taking  a  risk  but  
it’s  a  great  risk  to  take.    It  shows  that  you,  unlike  other  men,  are  not  
afraid  of  confronting  her  with  your  actual  feeling  in  the  moment  or  what  
you’re  noticing  about  her.    

Now,  I  have  to  add  -­‐  I’ve  been  wrong  sometimes  and  you  may  be,  too.    
She  may  take  offense.    That’s  the  risk  part  of  this  kind  of  bold  living.    
Some  women  may  get  defensive.    They  may  say  “don’t  play  psychologist  
with  me!”  and  those  kinds  of  things.      

You  know  what?  These  may  be  difficult  people  and  you  may  not  want  
them  in  your  life  –  and  this  is  a  good  way  to  filter  for  that.    You  are  free  
to  apologize  and  say,  “you  know,  it  was  passing  intuition  I  had.    It  may  be  
wrong  –  but  I’m  curious  to  know  who  you  really  are  –  so  I’m  glad  I  
asked.”  

Notice  –  no  apology  involved.  

These  techniques,  I  should  add,  are  not  good  only  for  dates,  but  for  
approaching  new  women.  

A  great  and  easy  way  to  use  this  is  to  strike  up  a  conversation  with  cute  
young  women  in  department  stores  or  shops  anywhere,  especially  in  the  
morning,  when  they  have  nothing  to  do  and  no  one  to  talk  to  –  and  
around  closing  time.    

The  opening  -­‐  They’re  almost  always  bored.    

And  here  comes  me  (now,  you)  toddling  along  –  you  are  looking  at  the  
merchandise    -­‐  but  you  glance  over  and  study  her  for  a  second.    She  
notices.    You  say…  

“So,  I’m  watching  you.  I’m  watching  your  body  language,  you  seem  so  
relaxed  and  I’m  guessing  that  you’re  really  ready  to  close  up  and  go  do  
something  more  fun.”  

Notice  we  are  planting  the  seed  of  fun.    Of  a  better  alternative.    You.

They’re  always  ready  to  get  out  of  the  damned  shop  and  go  do  
something  more  fun.    

19  out  of  230  times,  they’ll  say  something  like,  “Oh  my  god,  I’ve  been  
here  6  hours  and  blah  blah  blah...”    

Then  it’s  an  easy  transition…    

“You  know  what?    I  just  finished  up,  myself  (note  the  rapport).    I  wasn’t  
planning  on  this  (note:  spontaneity,  being  in  the  moment),  but  let’s  go  
grab  a  drink.    I  know  a  great  place  blah  blah  blah  –  you’re  probably  
hungry  -­‐  they  serve  these  delicious  sliders.    I  think  you’ll  love  them.”  

Easy.  Nice  and  easy.    

But  I  want  you  to  notice  all  the  quiet  signifiers  in  those  simple  
sentences.  

1:  There  is  a  whole  note    “hey  –  I  have  an  idea  in  this  moment”  
spontaneity,  so  it  doesn’t  come  off  as  pre-­‐packaged.  

2:  We  created  rapport  by  putting  ourselves  on  the  same  side  of  
the  “just  finishing  up”  fence.  

3:  A  man  with  a  plan  is  sexy.    We  do  NOT  say,  “Hey,  you  want  to  
come  get  a  drink  with  me?”  You  already  know  the  nearby  place,  
you  know  the  specialty  and  you  are  telling  her  that  she  is  going  to  
like  it.  

4:  You  are  “feeling”  her  and  she  feels  –  you’ve  noticed  she’s  bored  
and  you  are  intuiting  that  she’s  probably  hungry.    Duh  –  she’s  
been  locked  up  in  this  damned  shop  for  hours.  

You  are  noticing  what’s  going  on  within  her.  You’re  also  noticing  going  
on  with  you,  for  example…  

“You  know,  talking  to  you,  I’m  noticing  that  I  feel  way  happier  than  when  
I  walked  in  here.    I’ll  come  back  at  9  –  let’s  go  grab  a  drink.    I  like  you.”  

[Note:  those  three  words,  “I  like  you”  have  been  shown  in  studies  to  
massively  increase  a  person’s  feelings  of  liking  you  back.    They  are  
powerful  and  simple  words  that  you  can  use  all  the  time.]

A  bold  man  says  these  things.    A  nice  guy  or  shy  man  is  afraid  to  do  so  
because  he’s  afraid  to  be  wrong,  or  he’s  afraid  to  confront  her,  or  he’s  
afraid  to  be  too  vulnerable,  or  intimate  or  penetrating.
 

That’s  not  going  to  be  you  anymore,  if  you  have  those  fears.  

You’ve  just  learned  a  slew  of  new  and  powerful  tools  to  penetrate  into  
your  woman  with  your  heart,  your  intellect,  your  playfulness,  your  
direction.  

Bold  conversation  is  about  isn’t  about  impressing  her.    

It’s  about  being  fully  confident  in  yourself.  It’s  about  self-­‐validation.  It’s  
about  celebrating  whatever  state  or  conversation  or  moment  you’re  in  
and  staying  in  it  without  breaking  the  sexual  tension  by  making  a  joke,  or  
apologizing  for  being  bold,  or  being  wishy-­‐washy,  or  giving  up  the  lead  or  
being  apologetic.    

It  means  owning  your  desire  if  you’re  sexually  attracted  to  her.    It  means  
owning  your  flirtation.  Owning  your  deep  spiritual  moment.    

Yes,  she  might  feel  momentarily  uncomfortable  if  you  say  something  
very  deep  and  penetrating.    And  if  she  gets  uncomfortable  and  then  you  
suddenly  get  uncomfortable,  start  fidgeting  or  apologizing  –  then  the  
moment  is  gone.    

Your  job  is  to  maintain  and  sustain  the  tension.    It’  sexy  for  her.    It  
compels  her  to  have  a  genuine,  authentic  deep  response.  

Keep  your  eyes  steady  on  her,  breathing  nice  and  deep.  

Wait  for  her  answer.  Don’t  speak  in  these  moments.  Let  her  reground  
herself  in  the  solid  container  of  your  grounded-­‐ness.    

Whether  you’re  flirting,  whether  you’re  going  deep,  whether  you’re  
stating  sexual  interest,  whether  you’re  polarizing…  hold  your  ground.    

Make  your  will  felt  and  stand  in  the  solidity  of  your  desire.  

You  don’t  want  to  approach  these  moments  as  if  they  make  you  feel  
uncomfortable,  nervous  or  submissive.    Nor  do  you  want  to  appear  as  if  
you’re  manipulating,  or  pre-­‐planning  and  executing  some  inauthentic  
script.

I’m  reminded  of  a  story  I  read  about  someone  who  asked  Napoleon  
what  his  strategy  was,  why  he  was  such  a  great  leader.    

And  he  said,  “This  is  what  I  do.  I  say,  ‘see  that  hill  over  there?  Let’s  take  
that  hill  and  when  we  get  there,  we’ll  figure  out  what  to  do.’”    

He  wasn’t  scripting  out  everything  ahead  of  time.  He  wasn’t  “tacking”  as  
they  say  in  the  PUA  world.  He  is  in  the  moment.    He  makes  a  decision.    
He  gathers  intelligence  about  what’s  actually  happening.    Then  he  makes  
an  informed  and  penetrating  move  based  on  that  moment.  

When  you  say  something  penetrative  or  risky  about  her  or  the  moment,  
you  are  essentially  taking  the  hill.    You  are  staking  your  position.    Don’t  
dissipate  that  moment  with  chatter  or  a  joke  or  a  distraction.    

Wait  her  out.  Pay  attention.  Notice  what’s  going  on  in  her  internal  state.  
What  is  her  body  telling  you?    Is  it  conveying  deep  reception  to  what  you  
said?    Nervousness?    Fear?    

Hold  that  emotional  tension.  Stay  in  the  moment.  That’s  bold.    Standing  
your  ground,  like  a  man,  without  fear  of  her  response,  without  of  fear  of  
her  rejections  –  and  giving  her  the  dignity  and  agency  of  having  her  own  
feelings,  her  own  response.  

Please  put  these  things  to  work.  Try  them  out.  You  got  nothing  to  lose  
except  fear  itself.  

To  Your  Success  and  To  Your  Best  Life,  

Adam
