News Release: Valentine’s Day for Singles (Denmark)

Posted by anderstryka On January - 25 - 2009

This news release mainly targets Danish readers. However, I know we have quite a few followers that live in Denmark, but mainly speak English, so I hope the Danes will forgive me for keeping this in English.

I am exceptionally proud to announce a joint venture with an incredibly talented woman. For months now, I have been working behind the scenes with the Danish “Power Princess” Lone Rasmussen.

Our goal: To deliver high-class speaks on how to successfully flirt with the opposite sex.

Luckily, our timing is great - Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. What better way to spend the day of love than with other singles dreaming of meeting a new partner? Imagine being pumped full of tools and inspiration for a few hours, the door opens, and you find yourself at a gigantic party for singles only!

At the beginning of the evening, guys and girls will split up. I will speak to the guys, Lone speaks to the girls. Then, all the sudden, we SWITCH - Lone offers immensely valuable information to the guys about their potential, and I spill the beans to the girls and offer some insight into male psychology. Next, we host a party, where all the new information and inspiration will materialize, … new bonds will be created between men and women, … and maybe, just maybe, …

You will meet the partner you’ve always dreamed about!

What can I say about the “Power Princess” ..? She’s a great person, that’s for sure! Lone does speaks for women wanting to lead a more fulfilling life, she is well-known in Denmark as an authority on “flirting,” and she actually hosts courses for women wanting to learn the art of lap-dancing. The second I met Lone, I LOVED her! Insightful, deep and warm to the core. A very rare person that you need to experience live!

If you live in Denmark, if you are single, and if you want to experience an amazing Valentine’s Day, check out the dedicated site for more info about the party and how to sign up!

How to Qualify and Connect with the Girl

Posted by anderstryka On January - 24 - 2009

blondegirlSo many people walk around in search for their soul-mate, and so many people find themselves settling for less. You might have a general idea about what your soul-mate is like, sure… but have you done yourself the favor to really explore what kind of relationship you want? Let’s talk about value qualification!

First off, let’s clarify traditional qualification as it plays out in my understanding:

 

The Qualification Principle

Assign a certain trait to a girl that is less desirable (disqualifier, with the intent of getting her to qualify against the assigned trait. I.E. “Too bad you’re not open towards meeting new people when you go out.”

Provided you are in rapport and the girl is marginally attracted to you, she will respond with proof that she is open towards meeting new people. Yes, that means YOU.

Qualifying and disqualifying are great ways to achieve rewarding, fun-centric conversations.  In traditional pickup literature however, it is often overlooked as the incredibly powerful connection tool it is.

Using qualifiers to establish connection

Let me share an example of one of my relationship values, and how I’d use it in a conversation:

“What is the best way you have ever shown a guy that you valued his independence in your relationship?”

As soon as she responds to your question, she is accepting that she feels strongly towards independence in a relationship, and she is now offering proof towards that acceptance.

You will definitely want to use very big words – values that are abstract, such as “independence.” – Here’s why: If we are faced with the choice between right (offering independence) and wrong (smothering your partner), our social filters guide us towards doing what is “right.” Who wants to openly acknowledge that she values sitting at home with you 7 nights a week? She might secretly value sitting at home 7 nights a week, … now and then a girl will actually tell me straight up. In that case, leave, unless you want something… other than a relationship… That’s quite alright, as long as you are honest about it when the time comes.

Her translation of the word “independence” will tell you a lot about her world, her past, values and beliefs, demands in a relationship, and her hopes for the future. There’s a ton of possible conversational threads to revert to later on.

Here’s another one:

“Do you consider yourself to be honest deep down inside?”

Most people will reply with a sound “yes!” – some will smile that dirty little smile and say “… hehe, no!” – No matter the reply, you can be absolutely certain that she just offered to qualify towards your basic values.  Go with either side of the force, Luke! A: “Really? If someone dropped their wallet and you picked it up only to find $ 1.000, what would you do?” or B: “When it is OK to lie?”

Communicating value in the qualification process

No matter the chosen path, you can offer further disqualifiers to her reply. You can be dead serious, or you can be casually cocky; whatever suits your personal communication style, it is all good, as long as you justify the qualifier. It’s time to open up and let her know WHY you asked. After all, we want to establish groundbreaking value-based connections, don’t we? Here’s how I might choose to respond:

“That’s interesting… I really value girls that are highly self-motivated and know how to fill their lives with activities of their own when I’m not around,”

- could be a statement I would offer. Seems simple, right? Well, …

Here are the choices behind the words:

  1. I let her know her statement is “interesting,” and I compliment “girls” – not her –  on certain traits. What a sly little conversational technique to signal my requirements in terms of behavior while sub-communicating that she MIGHT be in good shape. Notice: I do NOT tell her if she meets my requirements or not.

  2. I let her know what kind of behavior is to be expected of me, by stating I won’t be around 24/7/365.

  3. I do NOT compose a question, as this would be an obvious screening. If I ask for compliance, she will know I am chasing, and I don’t want that to happen. Instead of asking any further, I recommend that you keep your mouth shut until she says something, no matter what it is. Trust me, she will.

  4. My statement is sufficiently vague and offers her a way to qualify, WITHOUT me having disqualified her up front. I want to be vague and let her grab the initiative, which will be a clear indicator of her interest. And again, trust me, … she WILL grab the initiative.

  5. I set myself up to continue with another value statement further down the road, either by communicating value in terms of pre-selection, social circle leadership, things that excite me, or further standards.

Applying your knowledge

As you head into the real world and apply this knowledge, remember the driving force behind it: Some guys get lucky; they are selected by girls on a whim, and what’s worse: they brag about it – Other guys know that to get the women they truly want, they need to be the selectors!

The first step? Define the frames of your ideal relationship and which personality features would be benefical towards building that frame. Why wait - the best time to do things is always: Now!

It’s going to be a great day for all those wonderful women out there that deserve to meet you as soon as possible!

The Strategy Behind the Perfect Approach

Posted by anderstryka On January - 20 - 2009

Maybe you recognize this situation: You were sitting at a bar or walking down the street, and you saw a gorgeous girl walking close by. You probably thought something like “wow, she’s hot, I wish I could talk to her,” and as she walked by you, as the moment of opportunity had vanished forever, you probably kicked into a new pattern of thought like: “Why didn’t I just… DAYUM, she was hot!”

Perhaps you proceeded with “I know exactly what I… Oh my God, that would have been SO cool.”

Now, even though you already know the right thing to do the next time an amazingly beautiful woman walks by, you say nothing - just like before. Since this pattern doesn’t make sense, you now start to rationalize your behavior:  “I’m out of her league, so I might as well just spare myself the embarrassment.” You may have blamed the choice on the clothes you were wearing, or the fact that you had eaten a ton of garlic the day before, who knows what that was for you..?

Don’t worry. You are not alone. In fact, lots of GREAT pick up artists out there run the same strategy with the women they think are super hot, too. They are going MENTAL trying to figure out the right approach – until the moment is gone.

Many of us easily go through our entire lives settling for less than we really, truly desire. Under false assumptions, I might add. We believe in measuring in terms of external success or failure… And failure HURTS! So we come up with excuses to explain our decision not to act.

But, what is success, anyway?

fact of the matter is that in successfully meeting and attracting women, few presuppositions exist. As a member of the PUA community since 1999 and through my experiences as a certified coach and master of NLP, I have learned this: Pick-up and attraction models don’t work because they are the hidden code or super stealthy communication methods. They all work because… YOU believe they work.

Let us rationalize over this for a second. If we are 7 billion people on the face of the planet, and every person is infinitely complex then, assuming one cannot seduce one self, is it at all possible that the number of pick up models out there equals (7 billion x 7 billion) – 7 billion. That being the case, how do YOU know that you are practicing THE model above them all? The answer is simple: It has worked for you or someone else once or more, so now you believe you are armed with the right ammo!

No matter what model you follow, one of the most important presuppositions of being successful with women is to open the conversation every time you see an attractive girl. Some guru’s will have you use opinion openers, others will ask that you state your sexual desires, and some will tell you to talk about fruit as if  you were having sex with it, and then there are those that will tell you that you have to immediately say something that lowers a hot girl’s value. Confused? The most common excuse I hear from newcomers is: “I don’t know what to say!”

In reality, what you say is not as important as what you believe. The odds are constantly in your favor, as long as you take a crack at it!

The verbal opener doesn’t matter at all: The very instant we initiate conversation with another person or group we induce a break-state and open a physical and mental vacuum in the process. As you step into that vacuum and change the subject and the group dynamics, it’s NATURAL, and what’s more… It displays tremendous confidence and VALUE. Instead of being afraid that the value you bring to the table is not enough, … how about assuming that you display undeniable value through initiating a no bullshit, light-hearted conversation? In her mind, it’s in dire contrast to the 20 guys that walked up and asked her for a light, I can tell you that much.

A key point for me to make here: If you measure your success on how many phone numbers you get per night, you are – no matter how you twist and turn it – depending on other people’s choices to determine whether or not you achieve your success criteria. If you measure how many times you hand a girl your phone, you alone determine how much you will over-perform.

Knowing this, you can approach and open with ANYTHING that comes to your mind. If it’s a compliment, fine! If it’s in Latin, fine! You can even say NOTHING and still open JUST FINE! If the girl tells you to fuck yourself, fine! Your goal was to approach and get to know if she was a person that you could bless, and you will have a great time analyzing the meaning of the feedback and how you can adapt instantly by asking her friends: “Is she always this rude?”

I dare you to go Bar X tonight, walk up to a woman and ask her for directions for Bar X, and then sit down beside her and reward her with a compliment for kindly telling you.

At what pace do you think you will evolve your game, when you start applying this mindset with women or in any other aspect of your life? Now that you possess this wisdom, is it at all possible that you will just ask the next girl to stop, and then learn from what happens next?
