HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS
Talking to a girl you don't know is NOT easy, but we can break it down into 5 concrete steps

I will describe the steps & then give examples

1-Break the ice in an honest way, say that you saw her, she caught your eye, tell her something you noticed about her
2-Keep on talking to her about her, your impressions of her, in a playful fun non-needy way. This is how you display your humor and social courage. Also, as you talk she can start to warm up to you & your vibe, and catch her bearings since this was completely unexpected for her
3-Ideally, she starts to warm up to you and begins to share more about herself & the conversation turns fun. You can start sharing a bit more about yourself too, but keeping the ratio 80/20

If she seems very not interested in talking to you, this is where you bow out gracefully
4-As she opens up, you start becoming more of an inquisitive listener, asking her deeper, more open-ended questions. Sprinkle in "glimpses" about you, your identity, your lifestyle to keep her intrigued, but again the focus is 80/20 on her. Get her "investing" in the conversation
4b-As she is investing in the conversation, you gotta start figuring out things about her: her current situation, timing/schedule, lifestyle, interests. Also, you need to be verbally *rewarding* her when she shares something interesting about herself. She is not your average girl
5-After having a fun enjoyable conversation of about 5-10 minutes, that's when you take the lead and end the conversation in a polite way. You tell her it was cool meeting her, she seems interesting and maybe you can invite her for a coffee sometime
5b-If the conversation was fun and you got her to invest/share things about herself, the idea of exchanging contact info should flow & be a logical continuation of the conversation. You don't want to see it as "picking her up", see it as simply meeting someone new and interesting
Those are the five concrete steps of how to talk to and meet a girl you don't know

Again, this is NOT easy by any means. In fact, it's very difficult and requires a lot practice for it to start to feel natural

The four stages of competence definitely applies here
I didn't invent any of this, btw

What I just explained to you is the London Daygame Model (LDM). It was created by a group of men much smarter & more dedicated than me, and to them I am grateful

I met my girlfriend this way, by talking to her when she was walking in the park
The London Daygame Model is the improved version of Mystery's M3 attraction model

It's the Mystery Method 2.0

If you've never studied pick-up/game, you may not know what I'm talking about and that's probably better

Game is an incredible invention but has become a real mess
Before I start giving scripts/examples of the five steps, let's write them down with their official London Daygame Model names

1-OPEN
2-STACK
3-VIBE
4-INVEST
5-CLOSE

By far, the hardest steps are 1 and 2. Approaching and talking to a pretty girl you don't know is not easy
Memorize this line:

"Excuse me, can I just tell you one thing really quickly? I just saw you walking by and you looked really nice so I just *had* to say hello. I will tell you what I noticed about you...."

That's your standard opener
Here is your standard opener broken down into its four components

• You get her attention/give her time to notice you and process what is going on

• You give her context to the situation

• You compliment her in a polite, playful & honest way

• You transition into step 2
Image
Image
Without overcomplicating things, it's important to make a key distinction

You need two openers

The first opener is for a girl walking on the street. If the girl is doing something more substantial, you want to show extra social awareness to help her feel comfortable

Like this
Image
Image
If you look at the street opener and cafe opener side by side, the difference between them isn't much

Either way, you want to show social awareness, calling out the "elephant in the room" as Tom Torero would say

Social awareness comes off as polite & respectful and that's huge
Image
Image
This is more advanced, but here's a third opener that works well in a subway train:

"Excuse me, can I just say one thing really quickly? I gotta get off in three stops, at X station, but I just saw you and I just had to say hello. Let me tell you what I noticed about you"
Image
Image
This is a good comment. It reveals two things

1-This guy has low self esteem. He can't imagine any woman paying attention to him for 10 seconds

2- Some girls will listen and some girls won't. Maybe she's in a rush, has a BF or just doesn't find you intriguing. It will happen Image
Also, notice how he says no woman will listen to you "if you do this"

He's speaking completely in the hypothetical. He has never tried this and just wants to sound cool Image
In contrast, I've actually used this script many times to talk to girls. I met my GF in the park using cold approach using this opener

The inventors of the London Daygame Model have talked to THOUSANDS of women using similar opening lines

This stuff is proven, not hypothetical Image
This is my intepretation of the London Daygame Model. I will write more on each of the 5 steps, because they're all crucial

This Susan Walsh blog post from 2010 was one of the inspirations for my SEXY HOBBY concept

Only Four Words Stand Between You and the Girl of Your Dreams
By Susan Walsh, March 26, 2010

Reader Steve wrote recently to request a post written specifically for the guys – What do women find sexy?

I’ve been thinking about it for a week or so, and the answer is not complicated. Women are sexually attracted to men who exhibit social dominance. What’s very complicated is the implementation of that objective. Many men have trouble knowing how to go about getting social dominance.

• How can I be confident with women if I don’t have a lot of experience with them?
• How can I compete with the guys who seem to naturally dominate a group like they were born to it?
• Does being socially dominant mean turning into an asshole?

Telling a guy to become socially dominant is not helpful. Mystery provided a lot of instructional material when he wrote the Mystery Method, but it’s outdated and has other limitations:

1. It was written for picking up women in bars and clubs, and it focused on short-term success, i.e. getting beautiful women into bed. There are many men who would like to meet a quality woman for a long-term relationship, and for them it’s beneficial to focus on day game and women who are not “hired guns.”

2. Mystery is a magician, and he perfected openers and routines using magic and card tricks. Today there’s nothing more pathetic than a guy in a bar whipping out a deck of cards or offering to read your palm.

3. Mystery Method also requires a lot of time in the field, a lot of resources, and a lot of practice getting rejected. It can be extremely effective, but let’s face it, most guys are not going to undertake a program of sarging in bars every night for months to pull off the kind of transformation that Neil Strauss did.

I’d been thinking this over and trying to come up with concrete, useful information to share with guys, but nothing was really getting cemented in my brain. Yesterday, I was flying home to Boston when I noticed that the TV screen in front of me was tuned to the Food Network. I know the cooking shows are wildly popular, but I haven’t ever watched any of them. There was an OK looking guy, nothing special, talking to the camera and assembling ingredients on a counter. Meh. He put some tuna steaks on a grill to sear, then picked up an onion in one hand and a chef’s knife in the other. He proceeded to dice that onion into perfect little squares in about 15 seconds. The knife flew so fast it was almost a blur. He then did the same thing with a bunch of celery. Then a cucumber. I was riveted.

Tingle.

This guy, Bobby Flay, was masterful. I know that there’s nothing special about dicing vegetables quickly. It’s basic training for cooks. But there was something about his body language, the way he held and wielded his tools, that was really hot. I put on my earphones and watched the rest of the show – God, he was sexy.

Next up was this clown:

[photo of Guy Fieri]

The minute I saw this head I knew he could never be sexy. I can’t even tell you how not my type this guy is. I watched him handle lamb loin chops with his catcher’s mitt hands. Then I watched him mix up a vinaigrette. Nuthin. Finally, he gently folded dough over caramelized pears to make a strudel. He lovingly tucked the ends under with those fat, beefy fingers.

Tingle.

It doesn’t matter what a guy looks like. Guy Fieri is proof of that. It doesn’t matter what he does for a living or in his spare time. What matters can be summed up in two words:

Passion.
Mastery.

In that order. This is what you need to be socially dominant. There are a million ways to accomplish this. It does not matter what you are interested in. What matters is that you absolutely love it. And that you are very, very good at it (or working to get very good at it). Once you have this in place, you must display and share your expertise to achieve dominance.

Mystery wrote about this as Demonstrating Higher Value than other men. You’re probably thinking “Give me a break, these guys are natural performers, they were super confident to begin with!”

That may be true.

What’s important is that their confidence (and their comfort) comes directly from their skill.

When I was in grad school, my roommate and I decided to throw a rager in the spring of our first year. We distributed about 200 invitations that said “Wicked. Party. Come.” There was one guy who everyone knew was really into music – kind of like John Cusack in High Fidelity. He’d worked in the record industry, and he offered to help make a mix.

He invited me over one night to choose some songs, and as I entered his room I saw about 40 linear feet of LPs. In modern day terms, that would be a couple of thousand CDs. I don’t know what his filing system was, but as we discussed possible choices, he went straight to each album and pulled it out. He really, really knew music. I distinctly remember thinking how HOT that was. He was suddenly so much hotter than he was in Econ! He knew it too – he was really on top of his game that night, and he pounced, haha.

(Reader, I married him.)

Did you know that pregnant women often get crushes on their male OBs? And that mothers of newborns find male pediatricians adorable? It’s a cliche that every university has some old goat professor who has a way of seducing students. And female patients often crush on their male therapists (contrary to popular belief, this is not transference).

Women find it intoxicating when a man derives authority through mastery.

However, just being an expert is not enough. If you’re amazing at World of Warcraft, but the only people who know it are other guys online, it really isn’t going to help you get chicks. You must find a way to display your skill, a way to strut your stuff in front of women. Again, it doesn’t matter what you love to do, what matters is that you find a way to share what you know.

Display.

Some interests are easier to display than others. If you’re into fly fishing, that’s a cool thing to talk about on a date, but you’ll have to find a woman who loves the outdoors to demonstrate your expertise. Still, your passion and mastery can be communicated in conversation, and you can present authority that way.

Anything can be sexy. I’ve personally observed men achieve social dominance via the following interests:

• collecting Mission-style antiques/junk
• frisbee
• U.S. Presidents
• political activism
• brewing own beer
• playing guitar (Duh, you can get away with this even if you’re broke as a joke.)

Of course, not everyone will be equally enchanted by the brew you haul out of your bedroom closet. Which brings me to the last crucial ingredient:

Compatibility.

You need to identify and meet like-minded people. Once you have figured out what you like, and worked on getting good at it, you need to find people who like the same thing. OK, fly fishing might be tough. So join the Appalachian Mountain Club and go on some group hikes. A woman who loves the outdoors will probably be thrilled to fantasize about standing in a cold Montana river as you show her how to bounce the fly on top of the water.

If you can meet women who share your interests, you can also benefit from social proof as they witness the respect you command from others in that particular community.

This bears repeating: It does not matter what you are interested in! A poetry slam, acting in community theater, old books, quarks, jazz, hoops.

If you can find a way to include a woman in your interest, you will earn serious cred by virtue of your expertise.

Passion. Mastery. Display. Compatibility.

It sounds like a lot, I know. But the truth is, women respond to social dominance, not specific subject matter. If you can find a way to share what makes you tick, you will exude confidence, and you will get laid, er, I mean, female attention.

Girls, what do you think? Have you ever thought a guy was hot because he was really good at something?

Guys, does this make sense? Does it feel “doable?”
Only four words stand between you and the girl of your dreams:

1-Passion
2-Mastery
3-Display
4-Compatibility

ASK RIVELINO

"If you have a sexy profession like pilot or firefighter, then do you need a sexy hobby?"

As a man, what you need is LEADS, and what you need is a durable robust SYSTEM for getting leads

A man without leads is a man who is dying

Some more thoughts on this...
On the importance of leads and having a SEXY HOBBY

1-A man without leads is a man who is dying. He is like a shark that needs to swim to breathe

2-If you're single and you don't have leads, you're fucked. If you're in an LTR and you don't have leads, you're also fucked
3-A man who enters an LTR has already somewhat domesticated and neutered himself. He NEEDS to have other leads in order to keep a healthy power balance in the LTR. Otherwise, he is setting himself up for failure

Perfect example of failing the green line test and what it means

1-He makes all the effort for the kiss

2-She makes zero effort apart from accepting the kiss
3-When you make all the effort and she makes zero effort, you are subconsciously telling yourself — and subconsciously telling her — that her validation means more to you than your validation means to her Image
Image
4-If her validation means more to you than your validation means to her, that must mean she is HIGHER VALUE than you

5-If she’s higher value than you, that must mean you’re LOWER VALUE than her Image

Matthew McConaughey expands his green line aura. Ryan Holiday shrinks his green line aura

RSD Tyler said you want to walk through the world with ease

I think that’s a good expression and concept

You want to be fun, playful, relaxed, radiating your beautiful masculine aura out into the world without fear or doubt

That’s the goal Image
The idea of the green lines is to help give us visual indicators of what is good body language and bad body language

Visual guidelines so that we become more aware of the aura we’re already projecting to the world and that women are already picking up on

When a woman gives off the appearance of being helpless, that helplessness can actually be sexy and attractive to men

When a man gives off the appearance of being helpless, that is massively repulsive to everybody
I’m not saying don’t ask for help

In fact, most men should ask for help more often

(One of the bigger mistakes I made in my teens and 20s was not asking for enough help because I felt ashamed for needing anyone’s help)
Ask for help

Get advice

Seek out mentors and teachers and experts and coaches

But meet them halfway

Don’t be pathetic

Don’t be LAZY
