Pick Up Artist VH1 - Takeaways

Takeaways

Practice timing your backturns and other indicators of disinterest to coincide with sparks of attraction. Just at the moment when she feels most emotionally stimulated or in need of validation, you turn away slightly, causing her to lean in a little more. "Wait, what you were saying about that little dog?" It takes practice to get the timing down. Remember, the attraction is only a tool to be used as bait.

When she pulls you back, you intermittently reward her with IOIs. Isn't it interesting that a takeaway is best done just after a DHV, when the target has just experienced a spike in attraction? That is the time that she is most likely to chase to get you back. Similarly, it's best to give an IOD just before escalating, since it makes it more likely that she will accept the escalation. For example, if you turn your back on her just before you kiss her, she will be more likely to accept the kiss. These sorts of tilings must be experimented with in the field in order to be properly calibrated. Incidentally, this takeaway aspect of A3 corresponds to the third law of the Tao of Steve: Be gone.

This is a useful time to use sniper negs such as "eye boogers," "you spit on me," "here's a napkin," etc. Remember, you don't get blamed for the eye booger, God does. You aren't trying to make her feel embarrassed, it just happened. It is at this time that she wants to regain your respect, and she wants to feel good again, so when you make your move, she won't get all cocky and pull away. She'll accept it because she felt embarrassed and got all quiet. Of course, you don't want to reward her for being a goof, because that would be incongruent So you amp up her embarrassment by acting disinterested for a bit, then you play nice guy and say, "Don't be embarrassed for being human".. .then you stop being into the conversation for a bit. In that state of mind, she is extremely susceptible to escalation.

Pickup Artist VH1 - Demonstration of Higher Value

Demonstration of Higher Value (DHV)

Anything you can do that conveys higher survival and replication value is a DHV. For example, if you open a set and you already have two girls with you, you have demonstrated pre-selection, which is a DHV. When girls see that other girls have pre-selected you, they feel more attracted to you as a result.
If a woman discovers that you have a lot of money, it is a DHV. She will find you more attractive, all other factors being the same. But if she perceives that you are trying to impress her with your money, she will then lose attraction. This is because only lower-value people try to impress — such behavior is known as a demonstration of LOWER value, or DLV. If you are trying to impress, you must be of lower status and thus unattractive.

If a woman sees that you have a lot of social proof from gaming the room, she will feel more attracted to you, because social proof is a DHV. If, however, she sees that you are socially unaware and inept, then it is a DLV. When you DLV, it lowers her perception of your S and R value, which makes her feel emotionally less attracted.

Telling stories that are fun, interesting, and emotionally relevant, demonstrates social skill, which is a DHV. A story can also be structured to convey specific characteristics in the subtext, allowing you to surreptitiously flip attraction switches.
Negging is also a DHV, because only a high value guy would talk to her like that, and seem sincere. You must already have girls if you talk in such a way.

Pick Up Artist VH1 - Opinion Openers

Opinion Openers

The main purpose of the opener is to get her attention and raise her interest in a chat. It is not a time to hit on her. It is not a time to introduce yourself. It is not a time to compliment her or spend money on her.
Although there are many different kinds of effective openers, the Mystery Method tends to focus on indirect openers.
One form of indirect opener is the opinion opener, credited to Style. Possibly the most commonly used form of opener; it is easy and effective. Without further ado, here is the most popular opinion opener of all time:

The Jealous Girlfriend Opener
by Style

"Hey guys, we're doing a poll...Would you date someone that's still friends with his ex-girlfriend?"
—(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Ok I've only got a minute...actually this is a two-part question....My friend Dave has been dating this girl for a couple months, but he's still friends with his girlfriend from college. What do you guys think about that?"
—(Girls ask how close they still are, then you cut them off.)
"Well he still talks to her on the phone, and he's still got this shoebox with letters.. .pictures.. .what do you guys think about that?"
---(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Well get this, she told him that he needs to stop talking to the girl, and he needs to burn the box.."
----(Girls talk excitedly about topic.)
"Oh my god, listen to you guys, this is just like watching The View." —(Transition into your next routine.)

Pick Up Artist VH1 - The Woman's Point of View

The Woman's Point of View

While Janine did enjoy making out with Joe, he did not take it upon himself to slow down the sexual escalation and remain in the comfort building stage. She truly did wish see him again, but only in the moment. When Joe called the next day, Janine wasn't in the same aroused emotional state as the night before. Due to cultural programming she felt a little guilty for doing what she did with someone she didn't really know. She knew the only reason Joe even called was to continue what was now making her feel uncomfortable just thinking about. If she did see him again. she didn't know how he would behave. Would he grope her and make her feel even more uncomfortable? She just didn't know him well enough to trust his future actions. Being one to indulge in her emotions, she allowed her emotions to once again make her decisions. Uncomfortable even talking to him on the phone, Janine is cold to him and lies, saying she's too busy to talk

When the confused Joe tried to change her mind, Janine took this as an attempt to manipulate her. She just didn't want to be pressured into having sex with someone she didn't feel comfortable and safe with, especially when she was not even aroused.

Joe was hard-pressed to change her emotional state on the phone. For all he knew at the time, with so many elements out of his control. Janine may have just had a fight with her room mate or just changed the kitty litter box. Over the next week or two, every time he left a message, her feelings of discomfort grew. She has no intention of ever seeing this guy again.

Joe shouldn't blame Janine for her stringing him along After all, it was he who ultimately designed this situation by not staying in the comfort stage for an appropriate length of time.
As hand holding escalates to kissing (more on how to perform Mystery's kiss tactic later), you will quickly approach a point of no return in which buyer's remorse is likely.

Pick Up Artist VH1 - What are some other examples of gaining compliance?

What are some other examples of gaining compliance?

• Getting her to invest. (She goes to retrieve a drink for you, she spends some money on you, etc.)
• Getting her to move with you or bounce to another location.
• Locking her in. The longer a girl wears an item of yours, the more compliance you have. If the girl removes your item, she is defying.
• Social pressure. Get one of her peer group to tell her to be nice to you, or to give you an accomplishment introduction, and you will immediately gain much more compliance from her.
• People generally comply if it results in more fun, or gaining some benefit. We are inherently selfish.
• People will also comply if there is a threat A man with a gun gets more compliance than one with a hose.
Of course the venusian artist will never actually pull out a gun. But there are ways to make her feel slightly threatened if she fails to comply.

Pick Up Artist VH1 - Cat Theory

Cat Theory

"Why do you suppose we only feel compelled to chase the ones who run away?"
~ Vicomte De Valmont, Les liaisons Dangereuses
Cats don't take orders, but they can be tempted to chase. If you tie a feather to the end of a string, and use it properly, YOU can get a cat to
perform acrobatics. But isn't it interesting that if you put the feather down in
front of the cat, she will turn up her noser

Cats are always curious, especially about shiny new tilings such as the ball on a rubber cord, the catnip, the treats, the feather on a string, etc. She can be easily distracted but once she is invested in tiling to catch something, it can become her single-minded focus.
There is a lot to learn from cats. If you push a cat off of you, she jumps back into your lap. If you want to hold her, then she wants you to put her down. If she is feeling nasty she might bite or scratch. She craves attention and she gets jealous of other cats. Sometimes she'll just rub against you and purr with contentment — you can really tell when a cat likes someone.

A cat sees the feather from across the room, but continues about her business. Then the feather slightly moves and her gaze is drawn. When the
feather jumps once or twice more, she starts to steadily creep in its direction.
Jerk the string at just the right time, and the cat suddenly goes crazy, running circles around the worn, flying over furniture to catch that feather.

As the venusian artists proceeds with a pickup, he keeps validation and attention just slightly out of her reach. If he is too easily acquired, then she will quickly grow bored and lose interest. But likewise if he is completely unattainable, then she will also lose interest and give up.

Pick Up Artist VH1 - Mystery sits in his living room with a woman

Mystery sits in his living room with a woman, showing her some short comedic home movies. They are in C3. He puts on some music, lights up the hookah and they share smoking it. He inhales the smoke from the pipe, and then exhales it into her mouth. They do this several times.

Sharing intimacy by holding each other and kissing, he now progresses their kissing into foreplay. Both aroused, he takes her by the hand, leads her into his bedroom, hands her a box of matches and says, "Here. Light the candles while I find the incense." He then says, "Can you close the blinds for me? I'm going to wash up." A minute later he returns. "Why don't you go wash up while I light the incense," he says to her, pointing out where the bathroom is.
Building the seduction scene together in this way is similar to the way long term couples regularly do. Such ritualistic behavior is familiar and comfortable.

In case it has not been made clear up until this point, do not make this move before you have properly qualified her and built comfort with her. If you do, it will activate her anti-slut defense or cause her to get buyer's remorse, or both.

Further complicating matters, if the window of opportunity is open and you miss it, it seldom opens twice for the same bird. She may go home and backwards rationalize all the reasons why it didn't happen. So, in the interests of practice and rapid improvement, when in doubt, just escalate. Even if you're wrong, it will still improve your calibration.

Pick Up Artist VH1 - Pre-selection

Pre-selection

This attraction switch exists not only in the sexual selection mechanisms of people, but also in many animals. A male grouse (a type of bird) will be hard-pressed to attract a female if he is alone. Place a stuffed female grouse beside him and other females will soon enter his territory and mate with him.

Similarly, if a woman considers a man to be sexually attractive to other women, she will instantly feel an attraction towards him. Stand by yourself at the bar and you will not appear nearly as attractive as you would if you had two women hanging off your arms.

Demonstrating that you have women interested 111 you, in this direct manner, is only one of many ways to trigger the same sexual selection switch. There are other ways. You can also wear female perfume. When a woman asks what you are wearing say, "Nothing." Smell your collar and then remembering say, "Ah," and smile to yourself.

Another way to flip her pre-selection switch is to have a lipstick kiss on your cheek. In the same way you feel greater attraction for a woman if she has an appealing hip to waist ratio, a woman will feel the exact same way towards you because of that all-important lipstick kiss.

There are a good many more ways to flip the pre-selection switch, and there are many more switches to be flipped. The secret of attraction, which is utilized in the attraction stage of The Mystery Method, is to know what these switches are, and then endeavor to systematically switch all of them on! There is no quicker or more powerful attraction than this.

Chapters 5 and 6 examine the subject of attraction in depth, as well as the various tactics used for generating and using it.
