The Million Dollar Mouthpiece: Learn to Vomit

So in the last article we talked about why the words you use don’t matter when trying to build attraction with the girl.

You know, it’s very interesting because my verbal skills used to suck. I mean, they were shit.

But I got away with it.

That’s why I so deeply believe that the words don’t matter...

Hey Brad, isn't it social etiquette to not talk about yourself too much? I personally don't like it when I am talking about something and the other person turns it to be about themselves. This is also said in Dale Carnegie's how to make friends and influence people.

Is this a wrong mindset to have?

Yeah I thought the same thing reading this.  But I think a little bit is allowed if you're EXPRESSING yourself and not saying it to IMPRESS her.  The intention to impress is definitely given off in your vocal tonality and body language, as well as how often you reiterate the same point.

I was at a bar last night talking to this kid and it was fine until he started to reacting to who I was and started gushing on and on about some mundane thing he did that he thought I would think was awesome.  I didn't react to him telling me so he just KEPT REITERATING IT to see if I'd respond.  It was pretty lame and I had to wait for him to shutup before I could change the subject.

I think the key also is to avoid the "me too" response.  If you just pick up on some "raisin" in her conversation instead of relating the entire story, then you are vibing and you build on that.  You can't always start a completely random "thread" after she starts talking because it'd definitely feel like it was coming out of left field and TOO random.

Nice work, Brad-.

Cutting threads/Wide rapport handles the RANGE of EMOTIONS in Alex~'s equation.

And YOU, yourself, fulfills the HV part of the equation. There ya go.

I do he random thread thing all the time.   No one notices.  It seems weird when you first do it, but I've never gotten a bad reaction.  The frame is, I'm letting you get to know me.

Be honest, did you look at a bowl of raisin bran and vomit out this article? Were you just like "Raisins, raisins... I love these little raisins, they keep this ceral interesting... kind of like those little facts in conversations that keep threads going... I should write an article and call those 'raisins'!"

This is just one way to break down what usually happens in a conversation...

Ultimately, as the interaction goes on, use calibration and it will be more like 50/50 with the girl.

But this is more for plowing and just being able to talk at a wall for 5-10 minutes until the set hooks, there is some sort of interrupt, or you run out of things to talk about

Yeah this is what I do all day. Open a wall and just talk to it for hours. xD I dont get blown out by them. I usually eject.

This stuff works and I got results fast. Before I was like "I ran out of things to say". After BC with Brad "Bibitibabiti". Just let it flow. Girls love vommitting.

Invisible raisins are also good. e.g.
You: "I used to go fishing but now I'm to busy with work"
Her: *uses a raisin* "Oh, what do you work with?"
You: *use an invisible raisin* "I like flowers. Colourful flowers. Yellow ones. Sometimes red ones too."
Her: umm... okay?

Gets me laid.

I'm gonna start practicing those exercises in my mind asap when I have nothing to do (ie at work).  I've been consciously practicing vomiting in the clubs though.  My new favorite phrase is "You know what I want to talk about?   BLANK."  And I literally say the first word that comes into my head.  Yesterday it was trapeze artists.

Awesome stuff.

I learned how to always have something decent to say when I merged by years of musical improv (blues/jazz sax) with socialization. The idea is you have a tempo, a beat, a key and space to fill with whatever comes to mind, and if you do it confidently and with solid sound, no one notices a wrong note or two, if you're completely immersed in enjoying your solo. The moment shit comes into your head, you just blast it out for the world to hear, and if you stop to question whether it will sound right, then you've probably fallen behind. And usually, its the raisins of sound that evoke ideas in your mind of what to play.

Cool, as a musician this really clicks with me. I'm thinking about what if feels like to be doing a solo in the zone, just letting it flow through your fingers... I imagine the ideal emotional state for conversation is very close to this. That pure flow, where everything that comes out is magic...

Got me thinking, I pretty much developed the vibe for when the girl is into  me and no read conversational skills. So if the girls into me itll happen but if the girl isnt feeding em with interest itll just turn akward, same works with beign good at socializing with dudes.

Great of you to clear this up.  I know that I had used this whole word association thing in almost EVERY conversation I had not too long ago because it felt like a great crutch to lean on. 

Then in a fight my ex made a comment that I was sometimes difficult to talk to because she would be saying something and then I would just spin off into a new conversation about myself.  After she said that I started noticing myself doing it and how often times it could kill the vibe of a conversation.

I think as an initial plowing technique it could work great, but it is necessary to remember that there is a certain time and place to use this type of talking.

Brad, this is old-school Juggler stuff.
It's the second/third-ish article you write quoting concepts from Charisma Arts, did you read their books?

I'm asking because I was interested in a bootcamp, and apparently the lucky instructor that comes to Athens is you (Papa dixit) so I'm really curious to know more about you.

In conversation I use an improv concept called "Yes And". Basically, you never deny what anyones says. You use whatever they say and build on it. So if you're on stage in an improv sketch and your fellow actor says "It's raining." you would never say "Not it's not." You would agree and raise the stakes like this: "Yeah. Damn! That was the biggest flash of lightning I've ever seen!"

This works great for conversation b/c once you train your mind to respond with the "yes and" method, you always have something to add to the conversation, and often times it's funny too. Same with congruence tests. You basically agree with whatever false assesment has been made and then take that assesment to the next level. I've turned many tests into laughs this way.

One time I was telling a story about a wedding in Cancun on the beach and I tripped over my words and it made it sound like the wedding was held in the water. Someone called that out, and I just said "Yeah, actually the wedding WAS underwater! The bride and groom were in scuba gear and there was this awesome moment where the groom shot the ring over to the bride underwater, like in slo-mo." Which was complete bullshit but it made for some laughs. At this point you can take that anywhere you want. It creates laughs, shows you can roll with the punches and creates that "Pinball of Positivity" that Natural Tim talks about which is so awesome for building attraction.

I got a lot more value out of this post after taking program with you.  I played the "vomit game" on the drive back from Chicgao.  It is really fun and helped me transition into role plays as well.  Now I need to go try it out in field!  I can't wait until this weekend man.

Great article, I will work on it but it is harder obviously in the high pressure/anxiety situation of talking to a girl, but practice will reduce that.

Girl: I'm thinking of getting my belly button pierced. My parents dont think it's a good idea but I'm dead set on it.

Me: Hmmm... That is strange because I ALSO have a belly button. I like to put nickels in there because it's cold and feels nice. And yes the occasional asparagus.

Girl: Well that's nice... i guess... 0.o

Me: (Displaying dominance in the situation) NICKELS? COLD? ASPARAGUS? I GAVE YOU 3 RAISINS AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY,  BITCH?!?!
