I haven’t written on my blog in a while… and I haven’t forgotten about it.  I just haven’t been inspired as much.

I used to write a lot on topics related to the teachings of the Pickup Artists but ever since I started working with David Wygant, I’m starting to care less and less about what PUAs believe or teach.

The truth is… meeting women isn’t that hard.  If you’ve been submerged in the PUA Community for a while, everything they tell you makes meeting women sound really really really hard.

You got to be alpha!  You got to lead!  You got to peacock!  You got to be fun!  You got to touch more!  You got to plough through her bitch shield/resistance!

Have you ever stopped and thought:  Damn, that’s a fucking lot of “you got to do x, or y or z”!!!  You really got to wonder…  Men have been hooking up with women since the dawn of time, how did they do it before?  Shiiiiit, how did your parents do it?

If I was to listen and believe everything PUAs teach, it’d seem that women are trying to do EVERYTHING in their power not to hook up with you.

The reality is… women DO want to meet you.  Women do want to hang out with you.  Women do want to hook up with you.  But do you really believe that?  Are you too much in your head to really notice?

It’s really not that hard!  If you’ve been reading and using PUA material for a year or more and you still haven’t been able to date and hook-up occasionally with some women, maybe you are trying too hard!

Ask yourself:  Are you nice?  Are you a little bit cool, fun or interesting?  Are you normal (aka fun and non-creepy)?

You really don’t need a PhD in the latest PUA technology to be that, do you?

I’ll tell you right now what’s important:  do you have a minimum level of social lifestyle.  Do you go out?  Do you have hobbies?  Can you make friends?

If you can make friends, you can meet women!

And if you can make female friends, you should be able to go on dates.  Being able to make friends with women means that women find you safe and fun enough to hang with you.  And if so, why aren’t you going on dates?  And I’m not talking about group dates either.  Are you going out alone, 1-on-1 with her?

If you go out on dates enough, you should be able to get laid.  You may not be getting laid like a rock star but you are getting laid!  Make the math yourself.

1 date per week = 4 dates per month

Do you know what is the average amount of dates women claim they have before having sex with a man?  Three!

So assuming you are pretty normal, pretty chill and you go out with the same woman once a week, you connect with her well and you don’t do anything super wrong to actually turn her off… well lookee lookee here, you might just have gotten some!  You just got laid!!!

Let me pull out my calculator again.  So… if my genius calculations are correct, you just got laid at least once a month based on the assumption that most men and women hook up by the third date.

And notice this:  if you go out with her every week, you actually have a spare 4th week.  The 4th week is your margin of error… in case she wants to wait a bit longer and you need a 4th date to get intimate with her… or who knows, maybe plans didn’t pan out on one of the weeks or one of you just got sick or tired one week.

This is the most common and fairly conservative take I could give you on a realistic semi-active dating life.

If you are any good, you can probably have more than one date per week.  If you’re fun, you and her may actually hang out more than once a week after the first one or two dates.  Your chances of getting some can only increase if you become more proactive in your social life or if you fix your bad dating habits.

So how hard is it really to meet women?

Quite frankly, from working with David Wygant, the 2 most common problems I’ve found with men and their dating life are:

1. Having an active enough social life that is conducive to meeting women
2. Knowing how to turn a woman on

Most men think they need to build killer inner game to approach women… killer confidence… alpha-esque demeanor or witty James Bond-like conversational skills but the reality is:

Get a social lifestyle!!!  That will take care of your ability to meet women.  The more comfortable you find yourself doing the things you love, the less likely you are to freeze up when you want to talk to a woman because you are in your own environment!  It’s really a comfort level thing.  Like David said in his Men’s Mastery Series, choose 5 locations that you go often to… and start socializing there.  Get to know people.  Start with small talk.  You’ll eventually talk to the women that go there and it will all feel easy.

As far as learning how to turn a woman on, most of that takes care of itself if you hang around enough women… or better… if you hang around enough guys who are cool and attractive.  Most cool guys know how to flirt with women.  Just watch them… and soon enough, you’ll end up emulating them without knowing it.

If you have to take an academic approach to learning how to turn women on, watch a lot of sex educational videos and read more on sexual psychology.  Turning a woman on is like a dance.  You just have to learn how to lead her mind and body.  You have to create a safe environment for her to express her sexual side to you.  You got to talk directly to how she feels about herself.  It’s not rocket science.

So seriously, for the guys out there who are really struggling, stop reading so much about pickup.  Go out there and make it easier on yourself to meet women by being normal and learning to just talk.  Just say something.

You don’t get extra points for doing fancy crazy approaches or make outs in the middle of the street or club.  You don’t get extra points for being super duper confident a la Pickup Artist.

All you want is a nice girlfriend, right?  All you want is to get a little bit of action, right?

Well get out there and be normal!

Surprisingly, most women are looking for that normal, yet fun easy going guy.  Ask the damn women!  They’ll tell you.  There are more creepy guys out there than you think.

You aren’t THAT bad!

Everyone knows how image is important when your desire is to meet and connect with people. The way you present yourself, the way you carry yourself, the way you move all contribute to creating a certain vibe that people, particularly women, will use to base their first impression of you. I’m currently reading Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell and I’m realizing now that we, as human beings, use lots of small visual cues to subconsciously make snap judgments on people. With that in mind, using good image becomes even more important than ever before.

I met Erin at the Los Angeles PUA Summit in August. She was the featured Fashion Consultant who gave guys from the audience a free consultation for a makeover. The first thing I noticed about her was her energy. She felt very at ease in a room full of men and she was more than enthusiastic to discuss how guys could become more confident with women. Since she read Neil Strauss’ book The Game and therefore knew about the Seduction Community, I thought: who better than her could give YOU guys tips on how to improve your image?

In this very first Kiss N’ Tale video interview, I am proud to have Erin talk about fashion dos & don’ts and discuss her perspective on the PUA Community, make-up for guys, and peacocking. The interview lasts about 43 minutes. Bear in mind that this is my first interview on camera as well… so I was a bit nervous at the beginning.

I know that the quality of the video could be better but I’m still learning how to work this whole video thing. If any of you guys want to teach me how to edit future interviews in more professional manner, please contact me. Until next time, enjoy!

SUNDAY 08/26

7:45 a.m.: I wake up. I’m still tired from yesterday, but I get ready and head to the Roosevelt. The Way of the Superior Man: The Teaching Sessions is currently playing in my CD player but I’m really not in the mood for that. Who cares about masculine and feminine energy if I can only open my eyes half-way? (Ok, fine. I’m Asian and have slanted eyes, so what? lol) I quickly switch to some hit music station. Bam bam beedee boom boom. Ahhh, that’s better.

8:45 a.m.: I’m greeted at the door by RadiantSun’s smile (formerly known as the “White Woman” if you’ve been reading some of my previous entries this year). I’m so happy to see her! I feel like I haven’t talked to her in ages. I give her a nice hug. As I like to say: it’s not a hug until you feel the titties squish! She’s wearing a yellow shirt today. I let her do her thing. She’s helping Christina (Johnny Wolf’s sister) check-in the guests. (more…)
