Todd's Blog
Hey there, it's Todd.
In this article you will learn how to break through social conditioning to pull more girls. You'll also learn how to evaluate which rules are worth following and which are bullshit.
I'm writing you in the middle of another epic bootcamp in New York City. It's been a tale of makouts and pulls and 'oh so close' all weekend, and we've had some absolutely INCREDIBLE stories. Soooo much fun!
This bootcamp has been extremely educational for me for two different reasons. 1. It's an under 21 year old bootcamp so that requires a different type of venue. 2. I'm working with a new instructor assistant so we're figure out each others' styles. More to come on lessons from that in future articles.
Speaking of Bootcamp, I’m available to teach bootcamps in San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York this month, and anywhere in the world by request. My upcoming schedule is below:
Where I'll be next...
BootcampNovember 30-December 2, 2012: Chicago, Illinois, USA
BootcampDecember 7-9, 2012: Los Angeles, California, USA
BootcampDecember 14-16, 2012: New York, New York, USA

One other adminstrative note, to clear up any confusion:
YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN INNER CIRCLE DINNER EVENTS AND MEET WIGMEN IN YOUR AREA -- FOR FREE. There has been some confusion on this matter so I want to clarify. The videos and instructor education through Inner Circle is a paid product, but the groups themselves are 100% free to anyone who wants to come. So take advantage of this amazing resource!

Ok. On to the video. One thing I absolutely LOVE about this video is how spontaneously it came out of my experience this past week. I was doing an event with Tyler and Papa last week in DC and Tyler, as usual, was ranting on and on about his various philosophies.
Now mostly I agree with him in principle but he has a habit of being a bit extreme in some of his views and actions. For example he was on basically zero hours of sleep and shot seven videos... of which he only really plans to use two. I told him he should have slept and shot three videos instead, all of which would probably be good and useable. I think I'm right, though he did make a good point about learning to shoot on no sleep.
That discussion brought up the point about "seems right" vs "is right" which is a major component of my life philosophy.
Again, I think I was right, but Tyler's response was to send me out into the chilly early morning to go shoot a video. On the whole walk to the Capitol I was thinking how stupid it was for me to be spending all this time shooting a video without a working tripod when I should have been sleeping or getting Inner Circle work done. I had a video for the week, and would be back in DC soon with a working tripod anyway.
Well, the joke was on me, because my annoyance and the tripod literally BECAME the subject of the video when another authority figure, (this time in the law enforcement arena), gave me another order which I thought was even stupider. The video is below:
I really like this concept and I think it's a subtle part of pickup, but I had never really found a good example to illustrate the point even though I go as far as to verbalize the idea to girls when managing logistics. Then once again, I realized that life was writing the video for me and I could use this exact script as the tie-in for game. So I hope you enjoy the video, and can overlook the slight tilt due to the tripod situation.
This is officially the first video where I look into the camera lens rather than the viewfinder. Please give me your comments on both the content and the videography as I am always eager to learn and improve.
Before I sign off, I want to mention that if you want more unique thoughts and information I put out ideas and lines on both facebook and twitter daily:
facebook.com/rsdtodd
and

Thanks again, and until next time,

Todd,
your content has helped a great deal-Thank you! I am, however, still having some problems with logistics.
For very good personal reasons, I can't go out at night. I am not against it, but for strong reasons I can't do it, especially with uni and sports. Trust me, it's justified. I also don't drink, and my friends don't like that, not that I care- they just don't accept that, and these are fellow top students and team mates with me. It stifles my social life. So I have to meet strictly as I go through the day.
I don't have troubles with interactions anymore, I have difficulties with logistics since I'm extremely busy, and can't spend enough time with the girls at the right places despite strong attraction. I am pretty good at thinking on my feet, usually I date through sports, but I can't do that anymore because of logistics and responsibilities. I am good at having fun despite the situation, and am extremely social naturally- in the most of the time I am in the right mood.
What is your advice to remedy this please? It's extremely frustrating because I meet and get great interactions with very attractive smart women, but I am missing out. Is there a way to study and extract within the school/sports venue or to break up the interaction differently? I've done study dates before, but you can't progress the escalation all the way and there is more resistance (she makes you go through more hoops, then she might just lead you on for the validation, girls aren't angels. I never play them and I don't need too, I've never broken my principles as a man and am always honest and direct but their maturity level at my age and even older, I'm in my early twenties, is still not very high), and since I can't bring her back home...
Your help would most gratefully be appreciated! I am asking with humility, so I can learn and do better and hopefully others might do so too! I regret the length, but I feel it was necessary. Flexibility is key to survive and thrive, I need one final breakthrough...
Thank you,
PickupHero :)P

Just my thoughts, but you can surely ALWAYS pull home, even if you live with parents etc. (I do when not at university). Otherwise, go to a park/ bathroom etc. (harder, but still can work). In fact, why not pull to her place... It's worth learning how: just have any excuse to do it, e.g. something that she can show you at her place/ asking to use the bathroom, etc. Yes, EXCUSES and not necessarily 'the whole truth and nothing but the truth', but at the same time, she wants you to take that responsibility off her shoulders and wants sex, but is unlikely to make it happen herself.
Still, I reckon the main issue would be what you prioritise. I'm in a relatively similar situation in terms of how busy I am and what I need to focus on this year (work), although my logistics are good. I know that in a couple of months I'm not gonna be going out (after 2-5 times every week for a year), even though that's gonna suck hard. But that's what needs to be done. So if you don't have enough time, then either make SOME time (sleep less and go on an actual date after you get a girl's number- if you can't do same night pull from clubs), then take it from there.
If you either don't want to have sex somewhere like a bathroom/ her place/ your place when it's awkward or whatever; or don't want to make a bit more time, then it's gonna be tricky.
Good luck mate!

Going against things that need to be changed is like swimming against the current or pushing boulder up hill, without continual effort your back to where you started.
Im reading a book called if "If you want to get rich then dont goto school" by robert kiyosaki and it talks about this.

RE Tripod -
I've done a bit of filming/photography myself in the UK and the rules are the same.
I think it's several reasons:
(i) tripods = professional in their eyes. They make money by selling permits to film so you need to pay.
(ii) - insurance - if a member of the public is injured and sues the council (or whoever) they need the filmmakers to have public liability insurance to cover the claim.
(iii) - related to the second point - if someone trips over your tripod legs and falls and injures themselves, they can file a lawsuit.
It's along those lines. A security guard is a minimum wage type job, he has zero power to judge the situation at hand for fear of losing his job. The rules will be "no tripods without permission" - the fact it's on its side is obviously not covered in the rules (as it's rarely, if ever, used that way!)
It's just bureaucracy my friend! Gotta live with it or learn to sweet talk these guys! (use your powers of seduction...)
