When it comes to learning something unfamiliar to you the way you learn it will have massive repercussions to the end results.

If for example you were going to trade in sums of trillions of dollars over several decades the 15th decimal place of the rate of trade would have an implication of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like with life coaching and personal life development the semantics of your understanding will have profound long term effects on your behavior. The semantics of your understanding will have profound effects on the automation of your behavior and the response/reaction behavior that you automatically respond to stimulus with.

In even clearer terms, the words with which you understand the same rather basic ideas will make profound differences.

An applicable example would be to compare the terminology of ‘I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks of me’ with the terminology of ‘unapologetic’. Both basically mean do what you want to do, not what other want you to do. But one focuses on shunning others while the other terminology focuses on centering and strengthening yourself.

One is reactive, one is proactive. Both are good, one will have profoundly long term better effects. Especially if at the time of reading this you are sorry for who and what you are, and you do give a fuck about what people think of you.

With semantics, they are the ways in which you digest ideas. Semantics and the way the idea is posed that you are left with to meditate on. In learning pick up you need to learn new ideas. Under the pressure of the field you don’t usually have to stop and recite things you’ve learnt from others word-for-word or action-for-action, it’s more like stimulus-recognition-response.

-For example something happens in field – Stimulus

-In the pressure of the moment your brain recognizes there is something you are supposed to do in this situation based on what you’ve read or learnt – recognition

-You instantaneously react/respond – Response.

The way you semantically learn things shapes your recognition system allowing you to generate the best thing to do at the time based on others’ guiding advice.

To go even further again, the semantics should be specific enough for you to know what to do in any given situation, but not so specific that you lack maneuverability in the social situation under the social pressure of the moment.

So be sure, the way ideas and actions will be described are designed to be the perfect balance between guidance and freedom. Researched and carefully chosen words successfully field tested personally for years and successfully with live students for 18 months.

You will see that the things I will say gel and combine and clarify many other ideas you have heard before, but they give you the best possible understanding that will accounts for all prior knowledge and application in the field of pick up.

Semantics are the start, the mode of communication to teach you. This is the foundation of your inner game. Inner game is the most important place to start, but semantics of how to learn inner game precedes inner game itself.

When learning new ideas about your behavior and emotion it’s like rewiring your brain.

For the purposes of pick up you can think of your brain as your computer’s software. Your inner game is your software that makes you work. So the integrity of your inner game and software – the way you understand things and the way it runs – will translate to your behavior and success.

The tighter and smoother your understanding of the social world is the tighter your frame will be and the more you will trust yourself. With a strong frame and self trust your behavior will come into alignment with that and you grown into congruence with a natural. Naturals are successful with women, they don’t do game, they are game.

I’ve written about this before and referred to it as natural instincts. In the previous article I said that game to coaches is as simple as the self perception that ‘I’m awesome’ which has resulted in self programming to the point that now I, and other really successful guys in the game are instinctual in their game.

Good understanding leads to good experiences. Good experiences lead to congruence between thought and behavior. When thoughts and behaviors align, you are instinctual. Being socially instinctual is to say you are a natural. Being instinctual is the opposite of routines or manipulation. It’s also the same as being a guy who is automatically naturally attractive.

I, and Real Social Dynamics teach natural game. And the above description is what natural game is. Growth into congruence with a naturally attractive guy. I’ll get to the how or what actions you actually need to do later.

This is a bit of a mind fuck. For a guy who already is good with girls this doesn’t even warrant mention. But for guys who are yet to transform into alpha males this is the process before you.

Teaching good inner game is more of a cancellation process than it is a building process. Its is a series of realizations that concerns are not actually concerns.

It’s realizing, then internalizing, that things that were once limiting beliefs are not actually limiting beliefs. Teaching inner game is a process of dissolving social concerns and social cognitive dissonance until you have an air tight belief system. That’s inner game.

The core of having good natural instincts is self trust. When you have nothing to worry about you have self trust. Trust is the deepest factor that drives the attraction dynamic. Once you have that good inner game, you have nothing to worry about and you are left with a supreme self-trust. I’ll explain later where you get the self trust from and why it is attractive but for now all you need to know is that you will have supreme inner game when you have realize flawless social self trust. It’s easier than you think when you understand yourself properly.

Then ultimate realization you will have in the game is that ‘there is no way you can’t not trust yourself.’

And in realizing that you can’t-not trust yourself, you realize that it’s even something worth taking into consideration anymore. You’re socially invincible.

Like I said before it’s as simple as “you’re awesome” let’s go talk to girls.

Brad, how do you consider yourself?

Sean how do you consider yourself?

Jeffy how do you consider yourself?

In italics above I use the terminology can’t-not. That terminology is the same as saying you ‘can’ but, the difference between ‘I can do something’ and ‘I can’t-not do something’ is huge.

The holy grail of natural instincts pick-up is self trust. And the whether or not your trust yourself simply comes from the way you think about yourself. Not about the way you actually are.

For example if you think ‘I can get that job’ it’s a hollow way to think about something. Like an idea walking a tightrope that could possibly fall. If your idea is in a state of ‘can’ then it could just as well be the idea of ‘maybe’ or ‘can’t’. This form of self perception doesn’t have an absolutism about it. And without an absolutism you can’t flawlessly trust the idea.

Wow this is really interesting, I've just gone over the part in the blueprint where Owen covers self-trust, and how self trust and walking through the world with ease, are like distilling all the theory into one or two sentences.

Holy Shit.

This article just hit me hard.

It's like when you're phrasing these affirmations to yourself theres also a level of  subcommunication.

This explains why I struggle so much when I'm trying to convince myself of  being the shit.

I'm leaving room for the possibility that I may not be so. It's like a form of self hypnosis by leaving a subtle suggestion of doubt when phrasing the words to yourself.

Man, I'm glad you came across this.

 I think a major key of self trust someone has to have, is that 100% of their thoughts are positive, when attacking something, whether it be an intereview, doing an essay, or picking up a girl.  "I am going to get the job", Then, even if you do not get the job, you know it's something they missed, and they are losing, and you as charley sheene whole hearingly said, are "winning", NO MATTER WHAT.

Total mind-fuck. A belief system is never fully implemented unless there's absolutism otherwise there leaves room for doubt.

Even the slightest doubt can open flood gates for negativity. And it all starts with the semantics, I'll work on that...

I've seen just how carefully you choose your words when refining your students' beliefs. As you say in the article, the semantic subtleties will manifest in their behaviour, so I guess that's why you always aim to be as precise as possible. Props.

Hey Alex,

Great article but I do have a question about the last part. How do you build your own self-trust. I know some guys just made the decision for, I "can" do it instead of "i think" i can do it. I can't seem to make that shift/decision, but is this the momentum thing rsdnation is talking about more and more lately?
In other words, more and more momentum (doing the things u need to do etc...) to get more reference experience for you to (un)conciously make that self-trust thing work? :)

Yh perception IS reality and reality IS perception. Everyone treats you awesome, you belive you are awesome. You believe you are awesome, everyone treats you awesome.
Change ure perception of the world and your convictions/beliefs change which change you emotions, which change your automatic responses to the external world, which in turn will shape the world around you.

But what i'm wondering is that you can't possibly have a one size fits all model to this because everybody's perception is different, the way you can explain something to one person can lead to a huge click and to someone else it just won't click into their reality.
Like Tim for example needs 'my game is a 10' and he goes into full rockstar pimp mode.
You on the other hand watched foundations and you went into full pimp mode i'm sure you thought 'oh shit this is everything i need to know to get every girl ever WINNING'. But then when you realised there was more material you fell out that trust ad had to learn everything else again to get it back.
I had it when i realised that nothing holds me back and boom instant confidence
So what i'm wondering is are you going to explain this in a billion different ways to people because rsd has already done that but not everyone has had the clicks as you can see on the orum

Hamlet, he is just putting his feelings and ideas into logics and terms like "semantics" to explain it in a clear way to us. Ofcourse it's irrelevant when you have natural game. Natural game is indeed just self-trust. Good article alex!

Not trying to be contrary, but I feel "I don't give a fuck" is way stronger and more freeing than "unapologetic".  The latter word suggests there was ever a suggestion of apology, it makes me think "who said anything about apologising?"  "I don't give a fuck..." is much broader, it covers needless apologising and everything else.

I liked the article, though.

 I guess that's how you learn more from a bad night than a good one. Trusting yourself, your social frame comes from knowing what's gonna go wrong and exactly how it'll go.

Still kinda freaky tho

thats so weird, i was sitting at work doing nothing and thinking today (which is common) and I came up with the following philosopies:
* Your inner game guides your outer behaviours and 'outer game'
*I am enough, i just have to stop trying to be someone or appearing to be someone. An attractive guy is just himself and knows thats enough. I dont have to be superman with seven watches on one arm, killer routines and gangsta body language :p.
*Some of the things ive been programming with my mind with have bad semantics, ie 'dont care about offending people' gets me in trouble at work. I should have done 'unapologetic'.
*Your understanding of the world also drives your behaviour allows you can be confident that your actions will be well calibrated, which creates success and greater confidence, as opposed to frustration, ignorance and self distrust.

Then, i open RSD, read this article and realise that I must have tapped into a portal in Alex's brain for a second....

Understand that you are an attractive guy but you might have bad behaviours covering that attractivity up..

It is not a building process it is stripping away those bad behaviors. I get it. Thanks Alex~ I t would be awesome to meet you some day.

No:

2. it would actually be ‘there is no way you can not trust yourself.’ or maybe ‘there is no way to not to trust yourself’?

Agreed completely... Less thinking about theory, more thinking about what you want in short and long term = natural game

I think I understand this. Naturals who don't even think about routines and tactics, they have this self-trust that they are enough and everything will work on. It's like they have a blind spot to negative social feedback.

I have to go out with this mindset and hammer it down. I was memorizing my stack just yesterday, and while it's good stuff, It's just training wheels and without having the proper beliefs, it's only a short fix.

I'm just starting to get this. I look at natural friends of mine, and I can sense this self-trust in them and instincts they developed through years of expereince. They're not in their heads when they're around girls, thinking of which routine to spit out. Through experience they understand that it's all good and they know what to do.

I understand where you're coming from. I don't think it's really the material presented, but the individual's perception. Everyone's different. The insight comes from experience.

I used to read old MM game and then natural game, but it wasn't until I started going out and hanging with naturals and having some success, that it CLICKED in my head, and now when I look at the old stuff I learned it makes sense. THere is no substitute for reference experience.

You can have the natural principles, but you describe them to yourself in a weird way and your mind will work weird.
Have the natural principles and describe them naturally to yourself, and you will behavely naturaly.

aka don't artificiallize natural stuff.

What he is saying is that self trust is the perfect inner game. Narcissism,delusional confidence,I'm awesome,whatever you want to call it.

You get total self trust by dropping the weight of your limiting beliefs. Which is easy. You don't still belief in Santa do you? Same with limiting beliefs. There is no true evidence for them so stop believing them.

The last limiting belief you have or the last thing you will worry about is "do I have self trust?do I trust myself?" When you decide that you can't not have self trust you drop that worry and you have self trust cos you have no more worries or concerns. Instead of thinking about it all the time you don't think about it at all. It's the same with have arms,you don't have to think about having arms. You know it's there.

What I love most about alex his stuff is that its actually very practical advice.

Tyler for example has some of the most detailed articles and insights, but there was not one of them which was directly helpful to my game.

On the other hand, I have learned practical stuff which really helped my game improve from Alex his articles. Like the daygame article and inspiring emotions in girls.  

I think Tyler also had an article about narcists, but it didn't drive the message home to me, like this article from alex did.

After reading this article I find myself projecting myself as a valuable guy more often now. Girls react to this by being positive submisive. Now I realize that all the times I failed hard in the past is because I was projecting myself as an insecure low value guy to girls. 

Thanks alexthumbs up

WOW so true and really an advanced way of looking at things. This will definetely help my frame of mind when it comes to achieveing goals. Just saying "I can do..." somthing gives rise to the impression that it MAY happen, given curtain parameters, timeframe, dedication etc and doesnt really set clear expecations. Also gives possibility of potential self doubt.

Saying "Cant Not" itself strengthens your inner belief system and instills trust in yourself. Kind of relaxes you into believing the idea.

'No way' stands on it's own and is seperate to the process of the double negative - 'No way' implies something such as 'no way at all' which is absolute and leaves nothing open to consider. It does not affect the double negative nor does it add to it in any way as a triple negative.

'Can't not' is a double negative which is a cancellation of the negatives leaving only an affirmation of the positive.
 
Obviously almightyhashka is having trouble - just as I was - in understanding the semantics of the term. It was not easy for me but with futher thought and discussion it is now becoming clear.

This paragraph nails it... So simple; how the elegance of this view makes inner game appear. It caused a click (due to recent experiences/learning) in my mind, to realize that what we call state, is really just our minds absolution to concern. Its that super calmness from lack of concern, or anxiety. Whether its artificial from alcohol, temporary (playing off present success/failure) or the ultimate goal of inner zen, its all the same ie. pure mind relaxation. I guess that's why the more I've come to be living in the moment, the more in state I feel daily. Wonder what others takes on this are?

I liked the article, though.

The conceptual idea of 'I don't give a fuck' comes with certain implication, resulting in those implications manifesting themselves in your behaviour. An example is being an asshole. You have the right to be an asshole if this is one of your beliefs, and you will feel more than entitled to behave in such ways if you believe that 'not giving a fuck what people think about you' is the right thing to do. An asshole generally doesn't give a fuck what people think about him, and he generally does what he wants, although by behaving in alignment with such belief, your actions will not always gel with others, leading you to annoy, scare, or weird them out sometimes. This in turn can be conceptualised as being Negative-dominant. Yet Negative Dominance is not in alignment with your natural self, which is a Man of Action, Presence, and Positive Dominance, ultimately leaving you with behaviours that repel others instead of attract.

The concept of 'being unapologetic' on the other hand implies slightly different things than 'not giving a fuck'. It is in alignment with your nature as a man, and in alignment with the behaviour of being Positive-Dominant. 'Being unapologetic' gives you the freedom to naturally express yourself, take right action, self amuse and engage others. Being Postive-Dominant implies that you do what you want, in a positive and upbeat manner. Being positive implies that you are respectful towards others, and being respectful towards others is having empathy for them and understanding and acknowledging that they are socially conditioned. The flexibility of 'Being Unapologetic' allows you to go after what you want, whilst respecting other's conditioning in a positive manner, while also being unapologetic and going after what you want. Basically not offending them on purpose which is something an asshole may do.

Not trying to be contrary, but I feel "I don't give a fuck" is way stronger and more freeing than "unapologetic".  The latter word suggests there was ever a suggestion of apology, it makes me think "who said anything about apologising?"  "I don't give a fuck..." is much broader, it covers needless apologising and everything else.

I liked the article, though.

The conceptual idea of 'I don't give a fuck' comes with certain implication, resulting in those implications manifesting themselves in your behaviour. An example is being an asshole. You have the right to be an asshole if this is one of your beliefs, and you will feel more than entitled to behave in such ways if you believe that 'not giving a fuck what people think about you' is the right thing to do. An asshole generally doesn't give a fuck what people think about him, and he generally does what he wants, although by behaving in alignment with such belief, your actions will not always gel with others, leading you to annoy, scare, or weird them out sometimes. This in turn can be conceptualised as being Negative-dominant. Yet Negative Dominance is not in alignment with your natural self, which is a Man of Action, Presence, and Positive Dominance, ultimately leaving you with behaviours that repel others instead of attract.

The concept of 'being unapologetic' on the other hand implies slightly different things than 'not giving a fuck'. It is in alignment with your nature as a man, and in alignment with the behaviour of being Positive-Dominant. 'Being unapologetic' gives you the freedom to naturally express yourself, take right action, self amuse and engage others. Being Postive-Dominant implies that you do what you want, in a positive and upbeat manner. Being positive implies that you are respectful towards others, and being respectful towards others is having empathy for them and understanding and acknowledging that they are socially conditioned.

Great article..totally true..

If you leave room for any doubt in your mind..your brain will turn that seed into a forest..

You talked about stimulus, recognition, and response..
So the point is to be classically conditioned (psych term) to respond in a certain way towards women..

See a beautifull girl..believe automatically good things happen to you when you talk to beautifull girls..respond(initiate approach demonstrate awesomeness!)

Much like the Dog that salivates when a bell is rung cause that bell has been classically conditioned to mean food for the Dog..i.e see a girl (bell),  believe you are awesome and cant not talk to her(food), responsd with natural game(salivate!)

Isnt that really all we are trying to do classically condition are responses..?
