Yeah well what Ruffertarian said is basically it:

"This is really how it works. If you try 4 dozen times in a couple of hours, you're bound to get somebody that wants to talk to you. It's funny how people that watched the original video thought this was a foolproof method and worked everytime.

It's like the episode of king of the hill when Boomhuer teaching Bobby how to pick up women at the mall. He's turned down dozens of times and eventually meets a girl who's interested. I mean, it was a cartoon, but its how it works most of the time.

Confidence and good looks only get you so far. Granted, further than an ugly, shy dude... But you just have to talk to multiple women and be willing to be shot down A LOT before you snag a couple of good hits."

I'll write a more in-depth post in my journal. But in a nutshell, I appreciate all this stuff because it led me to the point I'm at today. However, a lot of it seems rather silly given what I know now (current paradigm). I'm more interested in true power, actualizing my potential.

It's all a journey! I hope you find what you're looking for...or something far greater than you expected. I'm still learning...

Aside from making you want to puke ... the goal is to get to that point of coming off natural (which in a nutshell, is exactly what you are striving for). I'm also trying to be impartial with the videos.

@Paradox

That's a really cynical way of looking at things. You can apply the same type of thinking to happen-stance events like finding your next job, sales (in general), or even your total outlook on life. Sure statistically 1 in 48 (2%) will bite at a bare minimum but if you can fine tune and think on your feet (calibrate) ... your chances increase dramatically in set, not to mention your chances also increase with every attempt. And that's exactly why Bill is better at sales than John, Mike is full swing in his career making 6 figures and Jenny is so darn positive all that time.

This board needs to stop being so cynical. After spending hundreds of dollars on product, I can say that truly say that relying solely on these means won't get you anywhere. You need to still engage and be funny, and charming. You can either be a Average Frustrated Chump and stay negative and talk about running into the same girl at the diner or the super-market or you can create more options for yourself and also wear the mones. So many people on here post about repeat exposures in order to SO a female and it's a little sad. Some journals talk about 6x 7x 8x exposures over months and they still haven't sealed.

That should not be the goal ... the goal should to have a healthy sex life and meet better quality women during your short time on earth. I'm talking smart, sexy, funny women that you can see yourself eventually settling down with. Yes, I will say it ... I want a trophy wife with a stellar personality, who is witty and spontaneous. Someone I can bring over to see the family but that will also keep the fire going. You should all want that too, deep inside as men.
