We Love Brad
Controversy!!!
Yes, the blueprint is my favorite pickup/seduction related product, although I like Transformations a lot as well.
There is a concept in the blueprint that I see misinterpreted all the time.
It’s STATE.
Guys pay way too much attention to their state. How to always be in a good state. How important it is. How a girl responds to you if you are in state. What to do if you are in a bad state.
Let me tell you now…
It doesn’t matter.
That is not exactly true, but it isn’t the be all end all that people make it out to be.
I think the proper frame is, just don’t be in a BAD state.
What is being “in state?”
It’s that feel good feeling, where you feel like you can be yourself, you are outside your head, not thinking of what to say, gold is flowing out of your mouth, and you can get away with whatever you want…
When I see a client on bootcamp hit state for the first time, it’s amazing.
I’ve seen some of the craziest shit, crazier than anything I’ve ever done in a club, and the client gets away with it because people just realize he’s in state, and let it happen. It is really weird, like a glitch in the matrix.
Seriously, one guy ran around the club in Croatia clawing every girl that got within a five foot radius… I was running away hiding because it was so hilarious. And every girl loved him.
Another guy MAN-HANDLED some girl, cavemanning her over his shoulder and high fiving the boyfriend and her brother as he was doing it. –he did not know it was the boyfriend or brother at the time.
I am envious of my glory days hitting state. It just doesn’t happen anymore. Seriously, I don’t EVER hit state in the night club.
A lot of that has to do with, as you get into those high emotions, you learn how to channel it, as Tyler or Jeffy would say, the hot searing coal as opposed to the raging brushfire energy. It is more like an intensity these days, which is actually more powerful.
Read my article about dancefloor game, and you can gain a better understanding of what I mean when talking about that intensity and how it can overpower the strongest energy a girl will ever throw at you.
One of the easiest ways to hit state is by doing something outside your comfort zone. The main reason it is hard for me to hit state anymore is that there isn’t much I haven’t already done in the nightclub that would be outside my comfort zone.
Tyler has made me go up to girls with my pants at my ankles, I’ve had students dare me to approach girls saying “I like wet pussy,” or “I want to be a part of your next abortion."

And the proof is in the pudding. I have had SERIOUSLY SHITTY NIGHTS where I pulled majorly hot girls.
I remember one night, in Paris…
Met this AMAZING Parisian girl, mmm… just a stunner, with the pretentiousness that the French embody. We are going back and forth, and it leads to this passionate makeout, right in front of the students.
But what they didn’t know, and neither did she, is that I had drunk an unpasteurized smoothie earlier that day and had the worste case of food poisoning ever.
Right after the makeout, I gave the students a high five, and ran directly to the bathroom.

Just recently, a similar experience. I met a beautiful Irish blonde girl in Las Vegas, and the entire time I had to run off to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes because I had such bad nausea. I just sat in isolation for a while trying to regain my composure, then I’d head back over to her and chat her up some more.
Even when I pulled her back to my place, I could barely talk. I texted my friend my dilemma “Dude, this girl WANTS IT! But I can’t even stand up straight!”
So I just let the training take over and went for it anyways, and luckily after a while my hormones kicked in, and it ended up being GREAT. Like REALLY GREAT!
Haha, and then 20 minutes later that same feeling of malaise came right back.
So part of this discussion is realizing that YOU CAN BE IN YOUR HEAD AND HAVE SUCCESS. YOU CAN FEEL LIKE SHIT AND HAVE SUCCESS.
Don’t use the whole state thing as an excuse. And don’t dwell on it if you are in your head or things aren’t going your way.
So as I said prior, you don’t need to hit state to have a great night out, but the difference between guys who CONSISTENTLY have great nights out and those who don’t is not that the guys that are the best are always in a good mood when they go to the club. It is just that when they AREN’T feeling amazing, they know how to get out of that funk.
Here are a couple techniques that I use on program to get clients back into that fun happy feeling if they are all in their head and out of state.
The first step is to get your mind right.
Positive reframe timezzz.
You are in this posh night club, with hot girls all around you, and you are sad.
Boohoo!
My little story of being lame! : (
As someone once said, “Go find a bigger problem.”
You could be sitting at home right now.
You could be fighting IN A WAR!
OR you could be DYING OF CANCER!!!
No, you are just being a little pussy, crying in a nightclub because some girl doesn’t like you.
Be a man and step up. Realize that your life is actually pretty kickass.

Another one, right out of the blueprint. Unstifling exersices.
I just stick my hands straight above my head and yell as loud as I possibly can for a good 5-10 seconds. Take a look around after that, and you will realize that no one is even turning their head. They are too busy in their own little world worrying about what other people think of them. It makes you realize that you can be that unstifled outgoing guy you want to be in the club.
Anything outside your comfort zone will work. Ozzie used to RUN around the nightclub. I’ll make clients approach girls with their shirts off. Or use stupid openers like make them go up to the girl and just start “Meowing.”
Anything stupid to get you in that self amusement mode.
Other things that help are screwing with your physiology. The old Alexander~ technique of lime juice in the eye.
One, it is really fucking stupid, and burns like hell, so you get out of your head for that reason, and also, you have no time to be thinking about approaching, how sad you are or whatever because it just hurts so damn bad.
Run up to some girl quick, before you get back into your head and approach!
The girl will usually say something like “Are you crying?” But it doesn’t matter, it is fun and playful, and you’ll be laughing quickly.

From there, when you do these state pumping exercises, it will get you in that feel good mood, and then you need to make sure to quickly get in set, and build some momentum again, because state is very tenuous when you build it artificially yourself.
Thought experiment.
Think to yourself right now, you could probably get into that electric feel good feeling.
Feel good baby!
But it only lasts for like 2-3 seconds. To get that to stick, you need some reinforcement, which is why it is so important to start talking to girls right away, and stick in there. As they become more receptive, so will you, and things will take off from there.
Remember. Every man is equal when they get into the club. It’s just that the best do a certain set of techniques to get them in that feel good state.

think, "Oh I'm in a bad state I can't pull." When in reality, when you "accept" your state, its no longer a bad thing.

I was sort of thinking I was missing something... but this makes it sound like once you get acclimated to it, it tends to fade to the background. It's not that I'm in a bad state, it's just not all mind blowing.

And I think it is being fullfield ;D
and some others thougs on your past post about growing your mustache, dont shaving for 2-3 days and having success becoz looks dont matter.
well, i really agree with you, and i do believe that you and anybody who tries, but speaking from a belief system of a guy with scarcity mentality or weak mindset, he couldnt do it.
What if somebody asks you to do it (run an interaction) with your mustache back in 2000's ? would you able to do it? with that mindsets?
;D
i dont think so.
life experiences is everithing

You've been owning recently. Just a question.
Ok so RSD destroyed tatics determines success, later come some other things, the more recently was the state you are will dictate everything like Tim used to say, and you destroyed that concept, and I agree with you, There have been days with I am feeling like shit, or analysing, or inside my head, and still got good results. Because most things was on autopilot, or the girl liked me, or I didnt gave a shit or whatever? So what do you think caracterizes success now if not state, tactics, isnt Luck? :P
I know with me, state helps, tactics helps, but like I think on ryan summit presentation "You dont lose the girl until you start thinking OMG IM LOSING IT" (Or some thing like that) Thats, it not doubting yourself?
Oh another thing, most of the time, I dont appear to have game, I dont even feel like I have or Im doing something, I just stick around and shit appears to happen, wtf is that? Or Im a very lucky guy or there is something going on. (However when opportunity arrives I close, its just seem that Im not doing anything exactly to create that)

Then the other day I was at a local food shop, in a shitty mood from work, and just needed a place to chill. Order some food, and as normal flirted with the cashier a bit. This got me somewhat better but still not where I am used to. Ended up talking to her a few more times and gave her my #. I haven't heard back from her but I didn't plan to. It was the simple fact that I did that in the mood I was in. It was weird, as soon as I started talking to her it seemed like nothing else mattered. (I may pop back in there in the next day or two to see why she hasn't called
Also, the other night my wing and I bar hoped. I've recently taken a new perspective in talking to women in that I am going to have a good time for me and not judge my night on how many women i talk to. Long story short, my wing is opening a bunch of sets, not really getting anywhere yet still opening. He tries to get me to go and finally after a bit of encouragment, I join him in a 2 set. The night takes off from there and I feel like "I have gold flowing out of my mouth" ahaha.
In the past week, I've realized I don't need to be "in state" to make things happen and also I need to make things happen from the get go to avoid being stuck in my head. This post really summerized things for me.
Thanks gent!

Straight line, keep your eyes on the target. Breaking rapport, maybe grab her neck pull her a little bit in, tell her something and dance.
"You're sexy as hell when you dance" and let the body do it
Or else do like I do...same exact thing like mentioned above, without the dancing part. What I do is I turn around and look at Brad and say "NOW WHAT?"
Brad: DANCE WITH HER!
Me: "oh..."

Right now I can occasionally can attain the firey bush state through becoming unstiffled, opening, dancing etc, the thing is the momentum must continue through the night to maintain the state. I'm guessing this is the state you help active for students on bootcamp.
What is the next level of state you mention? how do we arrive there? what does it feel like? is it constant? Is it related to "core confidence"?
Why is it you can still have success on a shit night? Is it because of your experience level and game being so tight? or is it because of these unstilling techinques that get you into state like the rest of us, that change our emotional state into a postive one.

But it shouldn't be an excuse not to take action, because by taking action (and being outrageous) your state will improve

Of course, just like structure,routines, and confidence, there's lots of people out there who use a specific state to get laid, so you can't just discount it outright.

^This right here has saved my life as far as talking to people in general. It really lets you see that inner child in each person and feel so comfortable around anyone. Good shit Brad

I can totally relate to this in more then one way. I posted a FR from my time out west. I was at Tommy Africas. My AFC friend bailed, my phone had died, the contacts i made on vaca were impossible to get at. I either stay in or I go out solo. I manned up went out solo. I got to the club, I mingled in the cue, made buds with some guys & girls. I just found that, I got in my head, was uneasy, and not really having fun. I knew what I had to do. I ended up putting myself in the most uncomfortable situation ever by practically stripping on a stage by a stripper pool myself. Two birds jumped up & began grinding up on me like crazy. I had a mean chubby going on, making out with one girl while the other girl is grinding on me. It was just one extreme to the next. I fucking love it.
ANother occassion was the roxy. I see my wing out of state, bored, unfamiliar with his surroundings. I just walked up to him, told him its not a big deal. I told him, "YOUR THE FUCKING MAN; BITCHES LOVE YOUR HAIR CUT; YOU GOT FUCKING 10 GAME (thanks Tim)." .. This guy was out of his head right away. Were on the dance floor, this guy is just macking on girls. He opens one bitch, she pushes him. I stand in her way with my back turned to her saying to him, "non-reactive." All the negativity disappears and she reopens him a matter of secs later. I could have swore she was gonna fuck him on the dance floor. Broski was number closing, I was getting opened by the hottest chick in the club. It was absolutely rediculous.
Fuck, I would love to do a World Summit. As good as I am naturally gaming, I know I can improve. Kicking it with Durdan, Tim, Jeffy, Alex, Ozzie it would be insane. Man oh Man!!!!
Awesome article. Cheers guys!

The things people will do just to get "into state".
Anyone willing to let someone else rack them in the balls? Maybe a simple shin to the groin? That might have some STATE-DFYING effects. Please get back to me and let me know how it worked and how it was executed.
