Subject: The Newbie Method

I see a lot of new guys on here who are overwhelmed by the different methods out there, especially the different nuances of Mystery Method that most guys who come to the community try to learn.

I tried those for a while when I started, but I couldn't get them to work. When I stopped worrying about the specifics, I did well. Then I went through a recent phase where I tried to get the methods down again and the same thing happened, only 1000 times worse because now I knew a lot more about the methods and details this time. When I dropped worrying about all the tiny details, I started doing a lot better.

So... instead of worrying about all those other complex methods, I'm going to go ahead and propose what I'll call "The Newbie Method." It's really bonehead simple and can get just about any guy started because it just focuses on the most fundamental aspects of pick up. This is basically what I've started doing again, myself, and it's helped me dramatically in recent weeks.

It's also, coincidentally, pretty much the same stuff that actually got most guys laid for all the millenia before there were online seduction forums.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER AT ALL TIMES!

1.) Approach.

2.) Have fun.

3.) Be your idea of a cool, normal guy.

4.) Girls are just people, too.

BODY LANGUAGE

Practice this stuff alone and during your everyday life until it's second nature and just what you always do.

1.) Stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands where they can be seen except in front of your face, chest, or stomach.

2.) When you sit, lean back and take up space with your arm propped on the back of the chair.

3.) No sudden moves unless you have a reason.

4.) Keep your voice relaxed and open up your throat when you speak. Avoid a high pitched or nasal tone. Speak slowly and clearly but loud enough to project and be heard easily over any background noise.

5.) Make and hold eye contact with the people you're talking to and smile warmly. Do this to anyone you pass by on the street or in your daily life, too.

THE MODEL:

This is what you actually need to remember when you go to meet girls.

1.) Approach any girls you find interesting.

2.) Talk to them like new friends.

3.) Playfully, casually try to seduce the one you like.

4.) Stay relaxed and cool in the face of unexpected, weird, or mean shit.

5.) Keep doing this over and over until something hooks.

That's really PU distilled to its most basic fundamentals.

OPENERS (always delivered while looking her in the eyes and smiling warmly):

"What's up?

<random comment on something you see>

"Hey! I wanted to meet you. I'm XXXX."

HOOK:

1.) "So what are you up to?"

or

2.) Any crazy, random question you can think of.

MIDGAME:

Just have fun with her (and her friends) and look for ways to keep the conversation going off what she's said. Maybe crack some jokes or tease her gently and lightheartedly. Trust your instincts and, when in doubt or when she tests you, be honest and hone up to your feelings and interest in her.

Basically, do whatever you want, just be persistent and hang on through awkward silences and awkward moments. Maintain eye contact with the girl you want and make an excuse to pull her away for a minute to talk to her alone, then sit really close to her when you get back. If she ever touches you, jokes with you, or laughs at your jokes, you're golden.

CLOSE:

Pick one:

1.) "Say, I'm going to XXXX. You should come with me!"

2.) "Well, it would be cool to hang out again sometime. Call yourself." Then hand her your phone to put her number into and save the contact. (OK, I stole that one from JohnnyC's recent FR, but I like it).

IF YOU CHOOSE #2 MAKE SURE TO ACTUALLY CALL OR TEXT HER!

WHEN TO GO FOR THE KISS?

A.) Anytime you feel confident that she likes you.

TIPS ON DEALING WITH REJECTION

1.) It's going to happen. A lot. Just like you're going to trip and fall sometimes when you walk. But you'd still never get anywhere if you didn't walk, just like you won't get anywhere if you don't approach. Don't focus on it or worry about it.

2.) Remember, if she's especially mean, she's coming off as a bitch. Are you really upset you didn't pick up some stupid bitch who treats people like that?

3.) All girls are individuals. Just because one, or the last 20, rejected you, doesn't mean the next one will. Give her a chance to show herself to you.

4.) Weird shit will happen, too. Learn to laugh at the fucked up stuff that you could have never seen coming.

STICKING POINTS:

Once you've gotten started and have put in the numbers to identify your specific sticking points, the methods and forums are here to refer to.

There. That is about all the method you need to get you started. It's up to you to actually put in the numbers, get out there, and get relaxed and used to doing this stuff.

Now go mack on some chicks and play the numbers!
