LEARN TO BE A PLAYER
THE GAME IS NOT ABOUT RUNNING SCRIPTS. THESE ARE GOOD FOR BEGINNERS, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER IF YOU COULD PLAN A CONVERSATION FROM A –Z BUT IT JUST DOESN’T HAPPEN AND WITH EVERYONE OUT THERE NOW USING ONE LINERS ITS NO LONGER AN ADVANTAGE. YOU NEED TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS THAT PUTS YOU ABOVE THE REST AND MAKES YOU A MASTER OF EVERY SITUATION.
So let us escape the computer-generated conversations and away from all that theories on what you have to do to form a connection. To make a difference in your life you need to find out who you are and what you really want. Let us work on the skills that you already have and will make you stand out in the crowd so others want to form a connection with you. Social value is the secret, it is the importance others place on you. The higher social value the more popular you will be and the more fun you will have.
The first thing you need to learn is “active listening”. This is where you learn to analyze what others are actually saying. You do this by noticing their body language:
- Do they keep eye contact- shows if they are interested in the conversation
- Are they fidgeting- un-interested looking for an escape
- Is their laughter real- fake laughter is used to tell people to go away
- Are they displaying grooming characteristics- this gives off many unspoken messages that an experience person can interpret and use to their advantage ( light brush of the hair , touching of the chin, loosening or correcting of clothing are signs of attraction)
The secret is not to rely on a few observations but instead combine this with what is being said. The code is there and is simple once you learn the basics. However, this is only a start and not the total of active listening, active listening is to be truly interested in what your target is saying and finding the connection with this that draws you closer to them. Keep your comments in the beginning short and to the point. Learn what excites them by watching their eyes as the conversation progress. When they are on a subject they really find interesting their pupils will enlarge. This is referred to as having stars in their eyes, as the light will reflect off their pupils giving a gleaming appearance. Make your comments count, its great to have intelligent things to say but if it’s irrelevant to the conversation and the person you’re speaking to, then you’re likely to bore them and lose the connection you have worked so hard to form. Do not appear desperate or lost in their conversation as this will lower your social value and raise theirs making the need for you to work harder. Let them try to impress you and fight for your attention not the other way round. Do not be rude if you must use a negative comment to take control of the situation be playful. This is a game so have fun with it.
Respond to what and how they say things copy their reactions but do not mimic them, unless it is very playful and flirty in an attempt to guide the conversation in a direction you want it to go. Again only part of how we communicate is through the words we say, the rest of how a person is feeling is communicated through their body language, and tone, and pitch of voice. Ok for an example - you start taking to a girl about today’s fashion and how it has changed over the years (a topic that is stereotyped as something girls are interested in) during the conversation she noticeably shortens her answers to you, she constantly looks away and her voice seems tenser, this is a solid indication that it’s time to change topic. Likewise if you stumble across a topic you think would bore her sports, cars, or the camping trip you went on last weekend and her eyes light up, then you can throw the rule book out of the window, and chat to her about this as you’ve obviously hit on a topic which forms a connection. Although I always tell guys to read girls magazines to give them an idea of what’s in and what’s out and vice versa. Another important factor, is when you are talking to them, talk to them. This may sound funny but I watch as many people are talking to someone while they are checking out the room for the next target. This to me is my opening and I step in and steal them away, right from under the other person’s nose.
Always notice how they respond to you and what you say. Are they interested in your comments or do you briefly lose them every time you open your mouth, another point is the initial conversation, now let’s say that you have this cheeky and funny one liner and it always seems to crack people up. So you walk up to a person you are interested in and use it as your opener. Unlike all the others, they just stare at you and pull a sour expression. Do you poke them in the ribs, with a wink, and say funny ha! or do you realize your mistake and quickly change the subject as this line just isn’t going to work in this situation or do you shut up and blend back into the shadows and escape. This is an eternal question that requires quick thinking to gain control. My advice would be the second. Spot the mistakes do some correcting and move on. Never dwell on negatives as the object is to portray the positive aspects of your character. At the end of the day, you want the positive aspects of your character to stay on their mind. As this is what will form a connection with them not the one-liners that they will hear over and over again. The reason these once worked is because they were original now every man and his monkey uses them.
So learning lines, routines, and rules for dating is now outdated. Great dating and seduction is not found from the computer-generated garble; but rather in your ability to quickly connect with people in that first moment of interaction. You cannot run the risk of stereotyping or generalizing people, people react best when you learn how to relate to them as individuals and they will respect you more when you are yourself. Failure comes from trying to hard the secret to success is the three Cs. ( Cool, Calm and in Control)
