Alexander~ RSD
There has been a late change to my schedule! This weekend I am free for a bootcamp anywhere in North America. Because of this late change you will probably get a one on one bootcamp with myself, venteran instructor of 5 years in a city of your choice. Email support@realsocialdynamics.com immidiately if your interested. This is my last chance to teach in North America before I fly back to Melbourne.
Why did my schedule change? Well, I'm staying in Los Angelels to work with Tyler on a special Alexander~ project. Very, very exciting.
One last weekend; support@realsocialdynamics.com
************************************************************************************************************************************
A painter paints a painting.
Depending on how he paints the painting will depend on how the painting is received.
To relate to cold approach pick up, there are two ways to go about painting the work of art. You can sit down at your easel and attempt to do something that will please potential buyers. Or you can sit down so centred on the pure expression of yourself that you don’t even take a moment to consider whether the buyers will like what you have to offer or not.
We know that a truly passionate work of art, a true an expression of self and emotion, is always going to be more moving, and more captivating, and more valued than something painted to please others. Work done to make a buck. That kind of work is cheap tacky crap.
In social situations, if you’re conducting yourself in ways that seeks to please others, or even operate in a way that tries to fit in with others, then you are not even going to be close to emotionally compelling people to become interested in you from cold approach.
You know when you walk in the malls and the people try to get your attention by hustling you as you walk by. My reaction is to IGNORE at all costs. What they do is contrived, fake, forced and shrouded in bad vibes. I just don’t want to have anything to do with someone like that. Even when I do avoid them, I still feel this weird feeling from them like I’ve somehow let them down, which makes me feel even worse toward them. All I want to do is avoid people trying to please me or persuade me to later get something from me when they approach
It’s like ‘hey, I’ll do anything I can to please you to get some attention’, somehow treating me like a king, in order to trick me into getting something from me later.
If you’re trying to work in with, or please the people your approaching then you too will have these fucked up vibes. If you even come close to coming across this way then you’ll trigger the same defence mechanism toward try-hard guys that has been conditioned in girls based on past experiences with try hard guys.
That doesn’t mean ‘when you go out don’t try to please people’ and becoming a heartless sociopath totally lacking empathy, no. It means be so caught up in creating a product, or work of art, expressions, or fun, or vibes – whatever you want to call what you do in social situations – that is so great, and so focused on having fun, and being relaxed that you don’t even stop for a second to consider if you are pleasing others or not. You’re too dedicated to being awesome at what you want to do.
It’s a fact of reality that you can’t please everybody, accept that and let it go. Think more about what you want to do in the social situation and get much deeper into that. Get so deep into what you want to do in a social situation that you become a presence in the environment. Your frame is so strong that it might even clash with others’. That’s ok, if you have frame clashes hold your frame, stay true to how you want to be, and what you want to do, and you will inevitably win social frame battles by stand-off. When you win that frame battle by stand-off – by being totally true to yourself – when the girl sees your frame can’t be changed from its course she gets drawn into naturally reacting to you. When she’s naturally reacting to you it’s her being aroused by you, arousal is attraction, attraction is her being drawn to you, and wanting to get closer to you. That’s how you pick up girls.
Know both what you **want to do** as a sense of direction for yourself, something that creates your frame and know your personal boundaries to defend your frame and help it resist pressure in frame battles. Holding your personal boundaries in place is the part of you that ‘isn’t designed to please others’, it’s your way of keeping yourself focused on what you want to do well and with passion.
What you want to do will be exciting, constructive and fun things; positive emotions. Your personal boundaries are call outs, ignoring things you’re disinterested in, and sometimes confrontation; negative emotions. The continual combination of expressing contrasting positive and negative emotions is automatically arousing. All social dynamics indicate that you being yourself will create automatic arousal in others, so trust that even though you are not out to please others you are being influential and causing arousal. This is called being “self forgetting”, creating attraction is an “afterthought”. These are terminologies that are used to describe attractive people in everyday life.
How do you know what the right or wrong things to do is? How do you know if the way you paint is good or not?
There is no way to know. Once you accept that fact then you can let go of managing the outcome of your expressions or work, and become more passionate and focused on what you’re doing; which will obviously make what you’re doing better through your undivided attention and dedication to it. Your work will be more passionate and expressive, more fun and more emotional, more spontaneous. You will come up with greatness.
It’s a leap of faith to trust that you can come up with something good if you start doing things on your terms and not to please others. You’ve read that the dynamics will work for you... that’s all I can help you with to establish trust in yourself. That, and without trust you’ve totally sucked with girls more than you should have up until this point.
When you go out to be yourself, or sit down to compose a creative work think the way great expressers do. Think that what you do could take any form, and whatever that form is it will be awesome. The thing that makes what you do awesome in the eye of the beholder is the passion and love that’s gone into what you’ve done. The variable that makes what you do awesome is that you did it with dedication to doing it well, not compromising doing it well by selling out and trying to please others.
What then do you want to do in a social situation? And what are your personal boundaries? I’ll share some of mine, let mine guide you but you will inevitably develop your own. Play the trial and error game until you get to know yourself well enough to fully embrace what you want to do, and then hold what you want to do in place with personal boundaries.
When I go out I want to relax. I want to get so relaxed that I become bored, because I know that in that bored state my most funny-creative-exciting ideas come to me. Those ideas don’t come to me straight away because of the daily concerns that I carry around like everyone else, work, money, career, family, heath et cetera. I don’t like those daily concerns weighing on my mind, so I want to be very good at being relaxed, and getting that good relaxed feeling in my body where everything is just easy, the tension goes away and I start to smile. I even use some physiological cues to get me into a nice relaxed mood, motion is emotion.
I never know when that good feeling is going to come over me, but I know it will. I'm patient with that mood, and I know I have all night, so I don’t rush myself because that’s a source of anxiety that makes me feel worse than I need to.
When I have all that cleared form my head and my emotions I get back to a simpler way of thinking and feeling. I stop to appreciate the beauty of the girls around me. I appreciate my friends, I'm relaxed so I find the shit they say funny. I’m at ease so I can freely speak whats on my mind. Because I'm not in a logical situation the things that float up in my consciousness are random and funny and creative. I love being random and funny and creative because it gives me ideas that amuse me. Things to say or do to girls that are interesting variations of things we’ve done before, interesting because I don’t know what to expect. These things make me feel good because the things I say and do are influential over my friends, and the things my friends do are mutually influential back over me. When we approach other people, because we’re the ones doing the approaches for fun and amusement, we feel influential over them. It’s a good influence because we know that it must be arousing, which is what people who’re inside their heads and bored are seeking.
Of course when I'm bored and there are so many beautiful girls around I'm automatically compelled to want to interact with those girls and harass them. It’s awesome to spend time interacting with people of such beauty and grace, right there in front of me, and very very funny to watch them squirm in reaction and arousal simply because we approach. It’s extremely fulfilling to see them become reactive to me (even if they walk away), because a good knowledge of social dynamics helps me understand that this is something that makes me attractive to them.
I like the feeling of the chase, the excitement of getting to know someone new, and good feelings in the relationship develop as we become more comfortable with each other. My attraction grows for the girl as I become more familiar with her with each minute I spend with her. These are good feelings that I absolutely love. I love the knowledge that on some level, a girl I’m talking to is becoming more comfortable and familiar with me and more open to fun and flirting with me the longer I stay there and talk to her.
Keeping the set going until I get the openness, mutual attraction and arousal in a new relationship is something that compels me to endure the crap that has to be endured at the beginning of almost every set. Being able to endure stupid tests is something I know I have will power to do that others simply can’t. That knowledge makes me feel like a fucking king.
These are the things that I want to do. I will ignore people who try to tell me not to do these things. If things don’t work out the way I would like them to I persist assertively to get what I want, because what I want is good for everyone. If I seriously can’t get anywhere with my persistence then I drop it, because the thrill of persistence drops away and turns to annoyance after 3-4 efforts of persistence.
These are the things that want to do really really well. And I trust that if I do them really really well, I’ll draw other people into my frame where good emotions exist. I trust that once they get a feeling of these great emotions that I’m creating through state transfer they’ll want plenty more of what I'm doing such a dedicated job of creating.
When you paint, paint to do a really really expressive, passionate dedicated job of painting. Don’t paint to please or you’ll only produce shit. Don’t let others lessen the potential of how great you can be when you’re focused on the great things you want to do.
Figure out what you want, defend it with personal boundaries and inspire attraction.
Pick up girls.

I have been doing your stuff and I have pulled 3 chicks in the last 3 weeks.
It's all about the relaxed arousal and acumulating sexual tension, that will then be released in the form of public AWESOME sex in the beaches of South Beach.
Thank you for giving me, what has turned to be the missing piece of my pick up puzzle.
Hoping I ever get the chance to train with you.

i know i dont usually do what i want in social situations.probably a number of reasons. (no excuses) but when i dont, it makes me feel YUK. Beta. and i hate it.
Do What You Want To Do Don't Please Other's At The Expense Of Greatness.
That hit me kinda hard. awesome way of looking at it.now im aware, must take action and fix it.
good analogy with the painting too.expression, not impression.
Thanks mate!

How do you reconcile getting so relaxed that you're bored, and the idea of "being the party"?

Saw your free tour in Boston btw.. it was EPIC, that stuff about downward empathizing and the adoption frame has really changed my view on game and how I interact with people in general, especially with work/academic stuff.

Dude I have a question, what do you do if you happen to be in a negative state of anxiety (or anger) and want to snap out of it ?. One of the things I'm working is to maintain the positive emotions at all cost, but sometimes shit happens (a drunk dude hitting on the girl I'm with) and the negatives emotions start to take control over me and sometimes I never comeback to a relaxed and positive frame and I fuck the entire night because of that.

When she’s naturally reacting to you it’s her being aroused by you, arousal is attraction, attraction is her being drawn to you, and wanting to get closer to you. That’s how you pick up girls.

love the article, very easy to understand, the trouble for me is I only feel entitled to express when I think i'm better than everyone. does this contradict the 'I am enough' frame?
this is doing my head in..
Is it healthy for me to think I am better than the people I talk to?
Looking forward to a bootcamp in near future!

So does it matter if some of the reactions the girl gives me are negative, pissy, moody, etc? Sometimes I get those - but not exactly a rejection. Shes just reacting to me. Sometimes I say ballsy shit. I hold back from banging the "big guns" because I'm afraid I'll come off way too aggressive or direct and I feel like it may just be outside of the surrounding people's realities. Other times, I feel like I'm taking away value or wasting the girls time when I approach. Sometimes I feel like they're just their to have fun..not to get hit on by some random dude, lol.
If you want the best exercise I've ever done in this vein, go out for an ENTIRE night, and don't ask girls a single question. Approach/open and just say EXACTLY what you're thinking. Stream of Conciousness. Just make statements and keep talking. No pre-rehearsed lines. Make pure observations and state your opinions. It's your time and your reality. Let the girls ask you questions about your thoughts. The girls will want to know who this MAN is who is so sure of everything he's saying, because frankly, every other chode is trying to tailor the conversation to her, whereas this MAN has no desire to even ask her anything (of course, after enough time, if you get the arousal/attraction you should always be looking for, have the classic Julien "Moment of Realness," and connect and ask her a little bit about herself. Notice that Julien's emotional rollercoaster is all statements, adventure plots, teasing-banter, and fantasy, peppered with moments of realness). Do a "no questions" night, and you'll really start to get out of the "wasting her time" frame you seem to be suffering from, and you'll start to notice girls be aroused in your directness and aggressiveness in which you are dictating the environment in which you are living your life.

'Don't please others at the expense of greatness'
Thanks for this, Alex, it came at such an appropriate time. I've been trying to get a girl to like me for some time (whose number I got thanks to the cold approach skills you taught me, hehe), because I felt that she was 'special', 'different' from the other girls, and I pretty much pursued her exclusively and ignored all other prospects (i.e. lost interest in calling other girls out, energies too focused on this girl etc). I've persisted to the point where I've stopped feeling like the 'cool guy', like all the fun emotions of the chase are over.
Thank you. I'm going to stop now, and start doing what I like, in my OWN LIFE. Such a simple blindspot, but I kept kidding myself that if I kept persisting, I'd get her eventually. Fuck that, there will be other girls and other adventures.
If there was anything I got out of being around you that time you were in my country, it's this: Life, social experiences, romping is FUN. Life is FUNNY. Everything is FUNNY. It takes a while to get around the bender so I can see that for truth, and I'm still internalizing it, but...I'll get there. Thanks man. College arrives in August, and it's going to be a blast.

I'm glad this hit home for you, what was the number one peice of botcamp advice i gave you? something to the tune of be an asshole... stop being mr nice guy?
But you see you dont have to be an asshole you just have tp put yourself first you can have more fun, which make you more naturally attractive.
And there will be other girls... and ive seen and heard of so many cases where the girl will then turn around and come back to the guy once he comes around!
enjoy the growth!

'Don't please others at the expense of greatness'
Thanks for this, Alex, it came at such an appropriate time. I've been trying to get a girl to like me for some time (whose number I got thanks to the cold approach skills you taught me, hehe), because I felt that she was 'special', 'different' from the other girls, and I pretty much pursued her exclusively and ignored all other prospects (i.e. lost interest in calling other girls out, energies too focused on this girl etc). I've persisted to the point where I've stopped feeling like the 'cool guy', like all the fun emotions of the chase are over.
Thank you. I'm going to stop now, and start doing what I like, in my OWN LIFE. Such a simple blindspot, but I kept kidding myself that if I kept persisting, I'd get her eventually. Fuck that, there will be other girls and other adventures.
If there was anything I got out of being around you that time you were in my country, it's this: Life, social experiences, romping is FUN. Life is FUNNY. Everything is FUNNY. It takes a while to get around the bender so I can see that for truth, and I'm still internalizing it, but...I'll get there. Thanks man. College arrives in August, and it's going to be a blast.

Stop, breathe, get something to eat, listen to the music, talk to your friends, stretch, embrace your bad feelings like they're a joke, go for a walk. And if none of that works then you need to look at stronger means of making yourself feel better. Correct your diet, work out more, join different social clubs. Usually the simpler stuff works, give yourself a little time to let yourself unwind the the feelings should dissipate. Remember you can monopolise your emotions and control them.
You don't want to have positive emotions at all time, you just want to have a calm baseline state, and then with your initiatives... what you decide to do... you can do things that amue you or please you or entertain you or thrill you.
The longer you think about this the less you get overwhelming positive emotions AND overwhelming negative emotions. Its just a baseline, and only your initatives, not the things you react to, make you feel good.

Dude I have a question, what do you do if you happen to be in a negative state of anxiety (or anger) and want to snap out of it ?. One of the things I'm working is to maintain the positive emotions at all cost, but sometimes shit happens (a drunk dude hitting on the girl I'm with) and the negatives emotions start to take control over me and sometimes I never comeback to a relaxed and positive frame and I fuck the entire night because of that.

Remain unapologetic.
Don't bang the big guns, be patient even if you feel like your being a chode, continue to be nice, don't be apologetic for what you're doing and they can't fault you. Often times the best guys don't have the sets work out on the first approach but then we go back later and it's a different story. the key is to stay unapologetic.
Unapologetic is the same thing as saying 'theres no reason why i'm not enough'

When she’s naturally reacting to you it’s her being aroused by you, arousal is attraction, attraction is her being drawn to you, and wanting to get closer to you. That’s how you pick up girls.

Examples:
"i'm calling bullshit on you"
"Haha, fuck off you're full of shit"
"Anything you say isn't as smart as what i have to say, but your entitled you your opinion"
"haha stop talking!"
stuff like that, check it out in the hotseats.

Also, are you feeling these negative emotions when you're doing it?

The best way to describe this metaphorically is to think of yourself as the king of your kingdom... and that person is the king of their kingdom... mutual respect, but in your world you take yourself the most seriously.
Its not about being better or worse than others, its realising that your equal and individual. And that as two equal individuals relationships are built over time. If you come from a place of two higher value then people bore you, if your low value then your just a chode. You havee to be able to appreciate people, then you can connect and exchange arousal.

love the article, very easy to understand, the trouble for me is I only feel entitled to express when I think i'm better than everyone. does this contradict the 'I am enough' frame?
this is doing my head in..
Is it healthy for me to think I am better than the people I talk to?
Looking forward to a bootcamp in near future!

Listen to this guy...nice.

So does it matter if some of the reactions the girl gives me are negative, pissy, moody, etc? Sometimes I get those - but not exactly a rejection. Shes just reacting to me. Sometimes I say ballsy shit. I hold back from banging the "big guns" because I'm afraid I'll come off way too aggressive or direct and I feel like it may just be outside of the surrounding people's realities. Other times, I feel like I'm taking away value or wasting the girls time when I approach. Sometimes I feel like they're just their to have fun..not to get hit on by some random dude, lol.
If you want the best exercise I've ever done in this vein, go out for an ENTIRE night, and don't ask girls a single question. Approach/open and just say EXACTLY what you're thinking. Stream of Conciousness. Just make statements and keep talking. No pre-rehearsed lines. Make pure observations and state your opinions. It's your time and your reality. Let the girls ask you questions about your thoughts. The girls will want to know who this MAN is who is so sure of everything he's saying, because frankly, every other chode is trying to tailor the conversation to her, whereas this MAN has no desire to even ask her anything (of course, after enough time, if you get the arousal/attraction you should always be looking for, have the classic Julien "Moment of Realness," and connect and ask her a little bit about herself. Notice that Julien's emotional rollercoaster is all statements, adventure plots, teasing-banter, and fantasy, peppered with moments of realness). Do a "no questions" night, and you'll really start to get out of the "wasting her time" frame you seem to be suffering from, and you'll start to notice girls be aroused in your directness and aggressiveness in which you are dictating the environment in which you are living your life.

Though I have a question, I know you talk about handling things after the fact. I'm weird and random..its just my sense of amusement that I fucking love expressing. Girls find it funny (guy friends fucking hate it, but when they see girls eat it up, hmm those fucks start laughing too).
But I realize that being weird and random funny can be outside of a person's reality and push them away (then again I might not be relaxed). Is this where being empathetic comes in? You handle things after the fact?

This article is ridiculously amazing, I felt awesome when I read it, like holy shit what alex is saying is arousing somehow, no homo though.
Alex I like your method too. I've been doing more of the relaxation approach at the beginning of the night, instead of hit hit hit. I do my initial approaches with more patience. I've been trying this out literally for only the past week or two. It was because of your SUPER epic video with Tyler in DC btw. Do more of those! Like maybe Alex vs Julien method, or Brad vs Tyler or w/e, those types of videos sound fun.Sometimes the best way to learn is by comparing.
And I've had already a few nights where I do get those very positive emotions with the relaxation approach. What's ironic is that I don't think my body is used to feeling so good. So the relaxation approach is helping my body to experience more good emotions and get used to having them more, and I think that will lead to more and more positive emotions down the road.
I don't really know why, but what you say about pickup and stuff is exciting.

But its a judgement call to know when you're being too much and they're being too sensitive...? Think like bootcamp and lots of field experience handle that.
