Notes

The game is emotions. Everything else is a side effect

Neediness is inversely related to stature

Only make time for people who make time for you

Non-needy women attract non-needy men

Failure is the inability to be vulnerable

Take rejection and lumps and move on when you’re rejected because you’re the bigger person

There will be a long pain period that will be uncomfortable but that’s ok

Say what you mean, no matter how embarassing because you’re vulnerable

Hold your line and don’t break someone else’s

Rejection exists for a reason, it’s meant to keep people apart who are not good for each other

You’re never going to change the mind of an unreceptive woman

You have to polarize and be controversial. Either she’ll like you or she won’t

Everything that is attractive is polarizing

You can’t control how people are going to react to you

15% of attracting a women has nothing to do with you

Success = being happy with whichever woman you prefer

Lifestyle, courage and communication

If you’re afraid to meet someone, it’s because you value their opinion of you more than the opinion of yourself

Knowing your demographic is key. You’re much more likely to have success in places with like minded people

Don’t look down. Always make eye contact with people and force them into breaking it with you

Explain why you like something, not just that you like it

Blame is a form of neediness

Greater boldness leads to greater polarization

Start with ‘I’ve never done this before, or this is random…’

Share your vulnerability first and she will follow

Try cold reading. Make a statement/assumption instead of a question

Don’t be afraid to blurt something random out

Make the most of it while you’re on this earth
