Re:
The convulted part to their success is...once you've gotten to where they are, you realize NO form IS form. No tricks ARE tricks. It's more of an awakening AWAY from routine. The tricks gave them a crutch to be who they wanted to be, while believing in SOMETHING. That's all it boils down to. The odds of those things working in any setting have the same % chance of working as anything you derive on your own. The difference being, you don't believe in yourself, but you do believe in guys who market themselves well.
At this point, given how OLD and how much they've been around the block, talking to ANY girl shouldn't be a big deal. Any guy whos been with a girl they consider THEIR personal "10", who's been drunk, hung over, banged him, sick, had her period, screwed up, cried, or done any of the other myriad of things HUMAN beings do, really minimize the power they actually have. It's the fact that...most guys don't keep to their reality and people see things how they WANT to see them, not how they are, or might be.
That hot girl you see waiting tables, albeit nice as she might be, could be a cheating, disease ridden hoe, who comes from a broken home and is a money grubbing douche. OR, she's a sweet heart from down south working her way through college. Point is, if a girl's got the ultimate shield up, are you, men, so desperate to puncture it, or do you believe a better class of women exist?
I read the Game. It was a good read. I don't necessarily think it's on the money or for me, although Tucker Max loved it. What his motivations were, I don't know. Yet, it did mention the success of MANY guys. Many guys who did find and get women. After a certain point though, the success of the guru's is assured. It's not hard. It's like now. Once you've gotten it once...it keeps coming. It's not hard. And it's not the routines, programs, lists of books, or anything...that thing, that program, or seminar is a bridge...connecting your lack of belief, to utter trust in yourself. And that's it. One can read all the theories they want...but knowing genetics doesn't change...that she's just a girl doing something...and you're just a guy...and you need to open up a conversation with her and see if she's even worth your time.
