Don't talk to everyone. Only talk to people if they're high status. People think that talking to everyone will get them popular but unfortuneatley it doesn't. It makes you look try hard. Every loser in college is trying to talk to everyone, so they can be cool. A pick up artist must always be the exception (thanks to mystery). What "talking to everyone" actually does is make you seem like the kind of guy that cares what everyone thinks of you. You don't want that; you want to send off the impression that you don't have to impress anyone, and your time and attention is worth something and everyone is not going to get it. Talking to everyone might get you elected as the class president in highschool, but it won't give you the alpha look that every pua needs in a college. Alpha males don't bother with the lowly males at the bottom of the peer groups, niether should you. From the beggining of school you should be putting a price on what your time is worth, and by not giving your time and attention to everyone your saying that your time and attention isn't free. Another reason you don't talk to everyone is; people are jealous beings. Every person wants to have what you have (status). SO if you talk to them and appear common and equal to them they will wonder sub-consciously why does he have so much and I dont? They will start talking to thier friends about thier interaction with you and say "he's not what you think he is" or saying talk about your interaction in such a way that it takes you down a peg. The best thing about it (sarcasm) is that they don't even know that they are doing it. You don't want that; it gets worse when you have people who conspire to have what you have. These parasites are the worst because they don't just try and equalize you they try take you down beneath themselves. They'll wait for you to say something stupid and report it to all of thier friends and all who can hear them. Example; I was talking to this goth kid; I said a joke about him knowing the future. The next hour I was in class and I could hear him in the hallway talking **** about me; repeating the joke but making it sound dumber than what it was; to people who didn't know me yet. Taking me down a peg in thier book. Had I not been trying to be mister popular talking to some ambitious conspiring (mid status) goth kid I would have remained above everybody, but after he brought me down everyone in his crew thought I was below them. What a *****. You see when you talk to lower value people your taking a social risk. You might make a mistake; say the wrong thing and now you have some nerd telling everyone what you said and how your not what you seem; why take the risk? Another problem with talking to everyone and trying to "over socialize" is that its like your qualifying to them. Whenever you go to some group in college they expect you too try to impress them and proove to them why you belong there and If you don't have a strong enough frame your going to get blasted. Why? Because by going over there for free your saying " you have my approval not let me gain yours" if they don't give it to you then your lower than them. Worst thing is if you succeed you will recieve a label; If your a funny guy; they will treat you as thier entertainment. If your just some guy who builds alot of comfort with everyone; they'll treat you like your common and no better than anyone else. I would only take the risk if there was a girl of value over there, but not just to become "more popular." YOur the alpha male people get popular by gaining your approval not the other way around and if there is no girls of value where you are opening then it seems like your trying to gain to approval of a higher status male. So thats the reason you suck people into you by making where your at the life of the party and networking from there. (which if gain status by taking the advice I posted in the article/post above and you set that up first then you will find it alot easier to open sets [in school] because they will already know that your a high status male and they haven't yet recieved your validation. The amount of girls you'll pull will be amazing)
So talking to everyone is a trap because its an equalizer. You only want to be equal with the high status people; only talk to people who are high status.(however this doesn't mean blow off everyone who isn't "popular" this means just keep contact/conversation with them short and never say hi first) A trick I learned to build comfort quickly with people of status is; once I know them I greet them with a whats up every single time I see them. Simple yet it surprises me how many people ***** up and don't follow this rule. I learned this from this guy named Greg, he was a 6ft7inch guy who was lanky and goofy, but he was the ****ing man. All he did was say hi to everyone he knew who was of status. He said hi to me first everytime he saw me; this was an intoxicating feeling; everytime I would get out of the elevator he would be surrounded by a group of girls; and he would say hi to me. This gave me status and made me feel like he was my close friend. Even though we never hung out. (he probably said hi to me 1 to 2 hundred times during the school year) That is what makes this tool so powerful, you can make people think thier your close buddy just by saying hi to them first everytime you see them. Heres an example of someone not following this rule the other day, this girl; who said hi to me everyday, one day didn't say hi to me. I wasn't crushed, but what I was thinking "are we still cool?" When I caught myself thinking this and I realized how powerful just saying hi to people is. What people dont realiz is you make others think "are we still cool?" everytime you walk pass and don't say hi. YOU wan't to say hi everytime to reassure them that you guys are still friends. But remember this requires status from you, because if you don't have value yourself then that valued person just might blow you off . (they have value to protect themselves they might view you as a parasite trying to get cool off of them).
