Look around.

French People

Next time you’re at a social gathering, take in the social dynamics in action.

I can’t turn it off. I’m constantly analyzing guys meeting girls, couples hanging out.

Is it their first date?

Did they come here together?

How’s that guy doing?

Does she like him?

You begin to recognize patterns. Certain variables are consistent in EVERY interaction when it comes to one person being attracted towards the other.

One very important concept…

Attraction = Value

Magnet

All you need to build attraction is value.

So much of the content and experiences that occur during my bootcamps are based off this truism, and the results from studying this material have been phenomenal.

My own success comes from this same philosophy. When I walk into that nightclub, I AM THE HIGHEST VALUE PERSON THERE! Period.

I’ve been in clubs with celebrities, professional athletes… I think to myself “Yeah, they got their own shit going for them, but I’m still cooler.”

100% belief. Fully. And it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That is how social dynamics works. The strongest reality wins out.

So I tell students on program, “You are the coolest, most high value dude too! And you don’t need to do ANYTHING to prove it!” “YOU DESERVE A 10!!!”

Haha, the old self-help affirmation game. What response do you usually think I get when I tell a student this?

“Fuck you Brad!”

Middle Finger

If someone just tells you a new mindset, do you automatically pick it up, reinforce it, and easily incorporate it as dogma?

No.

So, how do you turn an affirmation into a belief?

Reference points. A human needs experience proving any new found mindset, which is a large part of what we do on program every weekend.

The next issue.

How do you reinforce the mindset that you are high value when you have no reference points proving it, and you need high value to get the reaction to reinforce the mindset?

It’s a circumlocutory perplexity.

So I have developed a variety of cheat codes that are basically just techniques that convey higher value purely through your actions.

The coolest part about it all is that once you DO come to believe that you are higher value, you do these types of things AUTOMATICALLY!

Unconscious competence. smile

I have a list of about 30 different ways to convey value, but you’ll just have to come on program to get the full shebang.

Confidential

Haha, sorry guys.

Here are a couple of my faves, mostly the verbal approaches. Maybe in a different article I’ll give more of the body language/positioning/action based techniques for conveying value.

So lets get into the list of cheat codes…

1. Statements not questions.

What is one of the most basic principles you hear all the time?

Never go into interview mode! “What do you do? Where are you from? You come here often?”

An easy way around this is to turn your questions into statements.

“Where are you from?” becomes “You look Swedish.”

This conveys value because you are coming from an authoritative angle. You are taking a risk and making an assumption. It also gets her qualifying herself, and ultimately you get the same response either way, but from a higher value perspective.

2. Lowering your bar for what is acceptable to talk about.

The biggest difference between “routine based” game and “natural” game is that the former uses words to convey value, and the latter uses ACTIONS. Purely by lowering your bar for what you talk about, basically VOMITTING words, shows that you care very little about trying to impress the girl.

South Park

If you are just spewing nonsense, are you trying to impress her? What does that say about your level of options with hot girls? What does that say about the type of people you normally talk to? They are probably even hotter and cooler than her.

Along with this is the concept of vibing. Just go up and talk to the girl about any random nonsense.

WITHOUT A GAMEPLAN.

Vibing is conversing without a gameplan, being totally outside your head and not thinking about “WHAT TO SAY NEXT.”

Why does this convey value? Because, as Tyler says in the Blueprint, it’s cocky. You obviously aren’t putting much value on the interaction, and have full trust in your faculties to make it happen.

3. Tonality

This one is huge guys. Probably the most important of all the concepts. There is inherent value in certain types of tonality that convey how much you value yourself, especially compared to the other people in the conversation.

Remember, it’s not about what you say, but HOW YOU SAY IT. If you need a refresher on vocal tonality, check out Tim’s segment on Transformations.

Breaking rapport tonality.

Think about how your dad talks to you, a professor, a police officer, your boss… They all use a certain type of tonality, which has INHERENT VALUE.

Cop

People as social creatures have picked up various social cues over the course of their lifetime. We develop certain behaviors for how to act when we have value, and how to recognize when other people have value.

It happens naturally. Your boss isn’t thinking “I need to use breaking rapport now with my subordinates to get them to respect me.” It just happens naturally as he receives more responsibility in his job and takes on the characteristics that HIS boss had.

That is what is great about all these concepts. They happen naturally once you start taking on high value mindsets.

So the process works like this. I’ll tell a student to use breaking rapport tonality when approaching a woman.

The tonality alone conveys value, and builds attraction with the girl. The student then starts accumulating reference points where he just went up and chatted girls, not needing to SAY ANYTHING SPECIAL.

He sees how he can just go up and be himself, with a little tweak in his tonality, and build attraction NATURALLY. He DOES start to feel high value. And as that happens over and over again, he’ll NATURALLY START USING BREAKING RAPPORT TONALITY because he feels high value!!!

It’s a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much for posting this. I already have the entire vibe of being high value and have done it many times before, but you helped me realize how to pound the mindset into my head.

Ey Brad, nice refresher! Definitely gotta go through the rest of my notes now, haha. Well honestly, I think, I should read them once every week to hammer them deep into my brain.

How about writing something about creating that absoltue rock-solid positivity inside, that I admire so in you. I think that on a spiritual level this is the most important thing you offer to your students on bootcamp, along with the high-value-attitude. And how to maintain it in negative environments and upon negative feedback. Cuz this is where I still need to develop more immunity. How to cut my thoughts from the negative neurological pathways from the past and quickly get into positive mode again, like an instructor was next to me :)

Nice article!

Here is my approach to all this.Generally i believe that everyone has value and all people are equals.In this game what matters is the related value and by that i mean how every single girl values us.In order for this to happen,we will have to approach.

So if you take a celebrity or any other guy and put him in the center of a club alone doing nothing,nothing will happen.Which means,in the club it is necessary to act no matter what.I agree that natural game is all about action,this is true.

Let's say that i go out tonight in order to have fun and get a number from a beautiful girl,so i can go out with her sometime during the week.Every action,will have this purpose.I don't have to appear the coolest person in the club in order to achieve that.All i have to do is make some actions.Let's say now,that i want to be the center of attention in the club,the most social  guy in order to meet and attract the hottest girl in the from a mixed group.If i want that i will have to act in a different way.I won't be the center of the club for its own sake.Which means that every action has to be done for a purpose.And that is why affirmations neither comparisons are so important.It's all about taking action,for a purpose.

 That "Statements no questions" is one of the nicest pieces to my game I've added lately. So good...you're having a normal conversation, nothing outrageous, but you're still asserting yourself. Adds a great dynamic to the conversation. Beauty.

Hey man, I just wanted to use this article as an opportunity to apologize for telling people about the crying thing.

I think everyone deserves the chance to let out a little steam sometimes, I still think you're the world's most perfect human.

 I'd say that the ultimate cheat code is eye contact. It's like a tiny difference in where you looking will make you look weak, insecure, no matter how solid your game is. If you're spitting game to her feet or looking away when she glares at you for busting her balls, then use cheat code "non-stalkerish, but solid eye contact". 

It's hard for natural 'avert eyes' or look down people to change, but one you fully figure out and ingrain proper eye contact into your mind, it's like having a cheat code that automatically aims your sniper rifle in Halo for a headshot. 

I think lowering standards for what one says is the best part of this kick ass article. That's what I'm working on - my issue is... okay, no scripted routines, I'll just say whats naturally in my mind... Then the conversation, after going well, runs to a stall and I can think of anything to say. So I lower my standards for what i am going to say, and out pops, "tell me what you've been up to lately." (... statement not question, but still boring) or some variant of the interview, stall type questions. But it's improvisation and to get better at it, you just practice and practice. Our minds are full of stuff we can talk about, but where I need to get better is when I'm talking, and then my mind says "nope that topics bad... nope not that topic either.. nope nope... you have no idea what to say now!" when actually I did. Stupid minds... blessing and a curse.

Tonality is very important I agree...sets just turn around and bang!!! look at you with full attention! Keep that tone throughout the interaction and yeah...Positive reference points, and you the man :) 

If you go go in with a faint, shakey and scared to fuck up tone...then your a softcock and they will either ignore you totally or just give you a quick "Fuck off and leave me alone" look.  

BE A MAN AND NOT A BITCH!!

This was my biggest ephiphany on bootcamp.  My results skyrocked when I opened with breaking rapport.  Whenever I started losing a girl I'd use breaking rapport and she was totally hooked.  Great stuff.
