An intention is your underlying purpose and role in a woman's life. An intention can take many forms. You can be anything from the guy who helps her with her math homework to the knight in shining armor who sweeps her off of her feet and changes her life forever. There are many different intentions, and it is the pick up artist's job to:

1. Familiarize yourself with the most common and effective intentions.
2. Decide which intention is most relevant to a given situation.
3. Congruently execute your chosen intention via a continuous flow of action.

The two most common intentions are 'direct' and 'indirect'. A direct intention is one in which you express genuine interest in a girl from a place of higher value. You would then continue to reassure her of this all along the way, and treat her as if she is very special and unique. An indirect intention is one in which your interaction with a girl is purely social: Your interest lies mainly in something besides her. Maybe you are talking to her just to get an opinion, or maybe you are bored - or maybe you love the sound of your own voice!

Keep in mind the two are not mutually exclusive. When it comes down to it, everyone uses both of them, as it is completely natural to use both of them. In fact, a great pick up artist should be familiar with each and be able to use them both with equal competence. To limit oneself to a single intention, is much like an actor who limits himself to playing only one type of character throughout his entire career. The skill of a great actor is not choosing a single great role, but his ability to climb deep into any given role - the ability to become congruent to an intention.

Here's an example: Entering a club, you may see a group of girls, not exactly your type, but still somewhat attractive. You may chat with them in a social way, while waiting for your friends. Later on in the night, you may catch a glimpse of a beautiful, stunning woman - and you express your interest to her. You have created attraction using two different intentions. 'Direct' guys use an 'indirect' intention all the time with girls they have no romantic interest in - and it may result in those girls chasing them. On the flipside, great 'indirect' practitioners shift to a direct intention the moment they qualify the girl - and they may spend the rest of the sarge using the direct intention!

If you look at a 'natural' who does really well on a nighttime scene like a bar or club: How does he behave? Generally he will have a great time, enjoy the moment for what it is worth and spread his positive vibe to others around him. Women will gravitate toward these guys, and find them very attractive in this environment. Does this mean that 'party' guys are universally more attractive? Of course not. But people who go out to bars and clubs are going out to party for the evening, and the behavior of a party guy is highly congruent to that context. The natural is familiar with the environment and the types of interactions that go on during the course of the night. His behaviors are therefore congruent to both his intention and the shared intention of the groups he interacts with. If a natural gets up and walks away from a girl who isn't cooperating, it is because his intention is to have a good time, and not chase any one particular girl.

When one speaks of a 'natural', we talk about those guys who were born with those traits desirable to women. What exactly is the base characteristic that makes them so attractive? Is it their high energy? Is it their relaxed bodylanguage? Is it their boldness and honesty?

No.

It is their congruence to intention. Unlike a pick-up artist who has consciously designed his game from the ground up, a true 'natural' has little ability to make conscious choice of his intention. But the intention that he DOES have - he is DAMN congruent to it.

Development of Natural Game is the development of the fundamentals that empower you to choose your intention based on the situation at hand, and remain congruent to that chosen intention. Remaining congruent to an intention means to continually interact with a girl in a way that reinforces your original intent, or serves to further define it.


Congruence is the antithesis of coming across fake or ingenuine. In this game, to be labeled fake or ingenuine is the kiss of death! As men, we are expected to be strong decision makers, unwavering and ready to take action. Women are drawn to men who already know their place not only in the world but more importantly in her life. Make all of your subsequent actions congruent to your original intention.

Congruence has the ability to create massive amounts of attraction in a woman - much more than any given part of the interaction. Women are not as imperceptive as we once thought them to be! Subsequent interaction increases attraction and rapport simultaneously to the extent that it is congruent with all previous interaction, and serves to further define your intention. Through congruency, you will amplify your value exponentially with each consecutive action you take. Therefore, a complete method of seduction is only effective to the extent that it is congruent within itself.

To a women, the fact that congruence creates attraction is very obvious. A woman would simply call it "being a real man". Women don't want to waste their time with men who cannot make decisions, do not understand themselves or do not understand how to relate to her. Lack of congruence leads to confusion, and people deal with an excess of confusion by becoming indifferent to it, or by escaping from it. The former will put you into the friends zone, and the latter will cause you to be blown out or cause a woman to flake on you.

It is not any particular intention which makes you attractive. It is your congruence to it. Again IT IS NOT any particular method which is superior to others. It is your belief, conviction and loyalty to THAT METHOD. If you master the art of maintaining congruence to intention, a whole new world of freedom and opportunity will open up to you, as you will now be able to make ANY method or technique work.


A useful tool for familiarizing yourself with a particular intention is called Intention Mapping. It is also useful if you wish to create your own intention or 'method' of seduction. What most successful methods actually do is teach you to be very congruent to a single intention, through learning behaviors and techniques. Start by developing an idea of what kind of role you would like to play in a woman's life. Would you like to be lover who changes her life forever, a guy with whom she has casual sex with a few times a month, or perhaps the guy she encounters for a single night of lust and passion?

Intention maps are most effective when they match what a girl is ready for in this particular time in her life. In other words, your intention should be included in her realm of what is possible. While all women are different in the way they view the world, themselves and what is possible romantically, as a general rule you may find:

She's single -> Primarily open to romance and genuine interest from a guy.
She's with a boyfriend or husband for security, or just out of a relationship -> Primarily open to sexual variety, which may lead to romance later on.
She's in an emotionally and sexually fulfilling relationship -> Toughest case, but generally open sexual variety or romance from a guy who exhibits MVE.

After you determine the role you would like to play in a woman's life, the next step is to fill in parts of the interaction with behaviors that are all congruent to the initial intention, and serve to further define it. Here are two common examples: (BTW the idea is to fill in the gaps as thoroughly as possible, what I wrote is just an example to get you started)


INTENTION MAP: DIRECT (Genuinely interested in her)

Role:

To be the knight in shining armor who sweeps her off her feet.

Opener:

"I noticed you walking by and couldn't help but introduce myself."

Initial Game:

Questions about her, establishing commonality, awesome vibe. Great sense of humor, if there is any teasing, it is done with a reassuring and warm feel.

General behavior for initial meet:

Sticking by her, not leaving her to game other girls. Going around to do things as a 'couple', meeting other people, window shopping, etc...

Number close:

I had a great time connecting with you, let's continue this another time.

First phone call:

"It was really nice meeting you the other day, I look forward to seeing you again."

Second meeting:

'Our world frame'

"I meet so many girls who play games, but you don't seem to have time for that. You are so real and genuine, I like that."

General reassuring vibe.

After sex:

Holding her close, continuing to connect deeply on a variety of topics.

Calling the next day, telling her you had a wonderful time with her.

Notes about the direct intention:

When opening, many guys have a fear about expressing their interest in girl before knowing that she is attracted first. They believe that they shouldn't let a girl know they like her, unless she has first indicated her interest. Ironically, it is that very belief which causes the lack of attraction. The reasoning of "Don't show your intention because if you show your intention she can reject you." can hurt you in some instances. The very act of demonstrating your true intention is what generates the attraction which prevents her from rejecting you in the first place!

When with a wingman, rolling off for a lonewolf, (unless you have a good explanation for why you rolled off of your friend) you MUST get a quick number. In most cases a faster number will be more solid because it's congruent to you hanging out with your friend! If you stay around and wait to 'build rapport', it will be incongruent with you being out with your friend, and it will also demonstrate negative things about your character.

This is in contrast to you hunting alone (and not appearing to be in a hurry to a meeting, class etc...) getting a quick number is incongruent with the direct intention. If you are alone, and you meet a woman, push it as far as the limitations of logistics will allow before getting her number.

The direct intention is mostly projected through bodylanguage, vibe and tonality. In other words, teasing her in a warm and reassuring way will NOT break your intention. It should be done in a way that is still congruent to your original intent of being genuinely interested in her. In fact, joking with her should serve to demonstrate your comfort together, NOT to invalidate her.

If you chat with a girl in a very direct manner, and show her you will not just leave her to chat up some other chick - that you are with her and HER ALONE... If you show her that you are honest about your intentions to her, and that you genuinely think she's special, you will have created a huge advantage over other players in the club, with that particular girl. There is strength in confidence. Your confidence in her will translate into her confidence in YOU. Often times, a strong direct intention will bypass a lot of complications such as AMOGs, obstacles and apparent logistical limitations.

I'm not talking about forwards and backwards merging (entering other sets as a couple) this stuff is fine since the frame puts the two of you 'together' talking to 'strangers'. This is congruent with a direct intention.

In my opinion, a successful pick up artist MUST become familiar and adept at projecting the direct intention. It is THE thing which separates pick-up artists from other players in the club.

INTENTION MAP: INDIRECT (Interacting with her for purely social reasons)

Role:

The highly social party guy who intrigues her, a woman senses that she can safely have a good time with him - he will not become obsessed with her, jealous of her or interfere with her life.

Opener:

"Can you girls FIGHT? Oh my god, did you see that catfight outside? It was over a guy I think, anyway one of the girls dumped a bag of McDonald's french fries all over the other girl's hair! So if you guys got in a fight, who would win? etc..."

Initial Game:

Stories which naturally demonstrate a high social value.

Teasing her, busting on her, takeaways.

General behavior for initial meet:

Bouncing from group to group, making and meeting a lot of friends, flirting with lots of women. Lot's of touching, fast makeouts and laughter from women.

Number close:

Listen, there's going to be a party at my friends place, give me your number and you can come.

or

"Here, take my number."

First phone call:

"Me and my friends are going to the club. You should tag along."

or

"I'll just be relaxing at home tonight, you can join me."

Second meeting:

Most likely all you do when you get together is have sex with her or use her as a pivot for attracting other girls.

General indifferent and aloof vibe.

After sex:

Very non-needy and independent.

You tell her "Call me."

Notes about the indirect intention:

Indirect intention is good for bypassing certain societal roadblocks. It is especially useful when a group of girls is already convinced you have lower value then they do, when your target girl knows you already have a girlfriend or two, or when you wish to attract a girl who you work with or go to school with.

Next time you are about to use a routine to elevate your value or generate attraction, do not consider its standalone value. Instead, consider the congruence that routine has to your original intention. Does it reinforce your intention, increasing attraction and rapport, or does it deviate from your intention, decreasing attraction and rapport? Does each subsequent routine further define your intention, or does it serve to confuse a girl?

With an indirect intention, a girl will have a lot of reservations about sex and generally exhibit a bit of last minute resistance. Backturns and takeaways are the most congruent way to handle this type of thing. If you start reassuring her in a direct way, she will not believe it, and you will come across weak. Using a more direct game without a lot of social proof, having generated attraction based on confidence and body language alone, it is not so important to take additional actions to convince her she is legitamitely special. You have already done so, and the fact that you are not chatting up three other women in the club reinforces that.

If you would like to convert the relationship from casual one to a more romantic one, continue to have sex with her regularly (1-2 times per week at the least). The repeated sex will result in emotional attachment.


Intention Shifting

While staying congruent to these specific intentions, there is also some degree of flexibility. While is is best to avoid shifting intentions back and forth throughout the interaction, there are two common points where intention can be shifted without major repercussion. I would recommend learning how to handle both intentions very thoroughly before incorporating a shift into your game. The two points that serve as viable shifting points are Qualification and Conversion. Qualification is when you give her a statement of interest. Conversion is after you have had sex with her a few times such that she doesn't write it off as a one night stand. (Usually between 2-4 times)

If you start indirect, you can shift to direct when you qualify the girl. Stay direct until you successfuly convert the girl. Starting out with a very social game with heavy social proof, it becomes very important to convince the girl you like her for a valid reason. That is why you must screen her and qualify her based on that.

If your interaction starts off direct, you can switch to indirect after you have successfuly converted her. Direct interactions have less of a tolerance for breaking congruency than indirect ones, so is wise to make sure the conversion is thorough. She must become physically attached to you, through repeated sex.


Every successful pick up artist I have ever met has these concepts internalized. They may not be aware of it, but they've got them. Understand that these three concepts aren't the end all be all of developing Natural Game, but they are a great place to start!

Brilliant analysis. Not sure how many people can read something as high-level as this and integrate it into their subconscious but it's a good read nonetheless.

I like the bit about intention shifting and when it is valid.
