Las Vegas and Chicago programs coming up:  Free Tour, Hot Seat, and Bootcamp.

I won't be teaching these programs forever.  If you live in these cities get out to them.  They are the definition of high value events and you will benefit from them for the rest of your life.

Brad is now with Jeff and I in South Beach and his blog is still cracking.  He's making major waves with this thing, who would think he'd actually make this happen?

Jeff's book "Get Laid Or Die Trying" is scheduled for a March 29th release date.  You can pick this up pre-order for 12 dollars on Amazon.  Jeff just recorded "Jeffy Show 2" here in Miami which is a three hour event that will be included when you email in your receipt (I'll explain this later -- for now just grab it and all will be explained later in the month).  The 3 hour event he did was absolutely outstanding.

Woooo, another bomb day in South Beach.  Let's get right into it.

You've probably noticed the recent rash of interviews put out by Charlie Sheen, where he appears to be a meglomaniacal narcissist who has lost touch with reality.  Jeffy has been absolutely fascinated with these, and I've enjoyed them as well, yet being somewhat creeped out.

Why was I creeped out?  Because the way Charlie Sheen talks is almost exactly like the dialogue that goes on in my head during long periods of going out.  (It creeped me out that OTHER people found it to be weird.  Jeff and I listen to him talk and we're like "Yeah that's about right.  What's weird about this?")

Well obviously this is a little different as Sheen appears kind of twitchy and has a vacant look in his eyes.  So I'd say that it's probably not coming from a good place (although I may be wrong -- trying not to judge here and just speaking from my impression).  The way we do this is more stable, just sort of fun and self amusing.

Regardless it makes a great point:  there is a certain aspect of the brain that goes into this mode in order to help you, and tapping into it can unleash some pretty cool aspects of your personality you may not have known exist.

This video delves into it, and cuts to clips of Brad on similar narcissistic rants.  Notice that Brad is more calm during this though, it's more normal, just fun.  What's crazy is we produced these two "Short Term VS Long Term" videos two weeks ago before the Charlie Sheen stuff came out.  It's pure coincidence.

Cool shit huh??  Okay so let's explain this a little bit.

=================

So watching this video one of the first things that jumped out at me was "I'd rather watch Brad than MYSELF!"

Coming from a dood who loves to hear himself talk as much as I do, that's pretty surprising.  Yet there's something captivating about a person who is in that self amused type of mode.

(It's almost like it gives YOU permission to feel the same way!)

Notice also that when I put the camera on Brad, the first thing he chose to talk about was how awesome he is.  It's like if I ask him to HAVE A THOUGHT, the only thought on his mind is a nonstop loop of his own awesomeness.

This isn't like I specifically asked him "Hey man talk about how awesome you are..."

Rather I asked him to create a quick video for RSDN, and that was the only thing his brain was capable of processing.  He's just dancing around, enjoying his surroundings, how perfect his life feels in the moment, and how great he is for absolutely no rational reason.

This is what I think so many guys have trouble understanding.  They're trying to LOGICIZE themselves into feeling awesome, into going in state, etc.

YOU CAN'T.

None of this is about logic.  It's about awesomeness.  What is awesomeness?  It's awesomeness.  SO HANDSOME GIFTED BY GOD.

Get it?  It makes no sense.  It doesn't need to.  Your brain is actively SCRAMBLING REALITY to make you laugh, to make you self amused, to put you in state.

You've done this without realizing it.  Then later you wonder why you no longer feel so good.  I know that in my own case I'll often go out for weeks at a time, and later I get home to "real life" and feel like it's a dream.  It feels like my day to day existence is "life with the volume turned down" and that the romp is the true reality.

(Ed Norton says this in "Fight Club" as well, but for different reasons.  How at work he just doesn't give a fuck anymore, he wants to get back to Fight Club.)

This phenomenon has also hurt many of my close friends, and caused them a lot of confusion.  Julien, for example, went through a crisis two years ago where he dropped out of a top school in Europe where he grew up and came to Los Angeles.  He did this because he had this intuition that he derived no happiness from walking the typical path.

Next thing he knew he's broke living in LA and unsure of his decision, and yet steadfast in not returning to Europe to finish school.  Why did this happen?  The short term mating strategy part of his brain kicked in after sexing like 40 girls from learning the game, and he no longer found juice in the long term importance of life.  He was to the point he was rationalizing dying by 30 and that none of it mattered, he just wanted to have adventures and let the chips fall where they may.

The problem with this mindset?

Unlike the caveman days, modern society DOESN'T LET YOU DIE.

I mean life is life right?  And whether you live 30 years of glory VS 90 years of boring bullshit really doesn't matter -- one is not really better than the other.

But whereas in caveman days the short term mater would just die off from his lack of responsibility, in the modern day his life is just SHITTY by the time he's 30 or 40, and he spends the rest of his days rationalizing that he's awesome when he clearly SUCKS.

Kenny Powers in the show "Eastbound & Down" is the prototypical example.  He thinks he doesn't need to train, he thinks he's gifted by God, his philosophy is "You're fucking out, I'm fucking in".

Yet for all his awesomeness, the reality of life kicks in, and now he spends his days in a shitty town as a substitute teacher -- living in the past.  Still delusional, reality keeps crashing against his self concept and confuses the shit out of him.

Other friends of mine also suffer from this.  Some of my biggest pimp buddies simply do NOT use condoms.  They unconsciously believe that they'll die by 30 so they see no reason.

It's not that they consciously believe it, it's that their brains believe it, and they want to spread their seed as much as possible.  None of this is a thought-out decision, but rather their brains RUNNING THEM -- because their brains believe that there's no future and they need to preserve their "state" at all costs, to spread the seed far and wide.

Meanwhile their delusional brains think they're going to make millions of dollars, for being so cool.  They don't realize YOU CAN'T GET PAID FOR BEING COOL (and definitely not for being selfish -- money comes from offering value to others).  So they look at a regular guy and think, "I can make more than him, I'm soooo much cooler."  It literaly confuses their reality that some dweeb who doesn't get laid makes more money than them.

The culture of reality TV has recently enforced this even further -- many of the biggest pimps I know believe they'll somehow become male verisons of Paris Hiltion or Kim Kardashian, where people will pay them to be charismatic.  They don't realize that short term maters are a dime a dozen, there's no need to pay them anything except the odd few who go on Reality TV, which pays very little regardless/

=========

It's also interesting that modern society doesn't acknowledge that many young men simply suffer from this, as their unconscious minds are "running them" and they aren't aware of it.

Modern society says "If you're lazy and don't work them you deserve to die" but in fact the human brain simply analyzes it's environment and says "What's the best strategy to send the DNA into the future?"

If it decides that there's not enough OPPORTUNITY around to be a long term mater, and raise a few kids "properly", it goes into "Spread the seed into hundreds of women" mode and figures to let "Nature work it out" as to which kids will live and die.

That's not to say people shouldn't be responsible, but rather that it's alarming that guys who could contribute to society aren't aware of these programs running in their minds.

Food for thought, anyway.  How could we change this, I don't know. :)

==========

Lastly I thought I'd mention how much being a natural LONG term mater has fucked up my game over the years, and how I've learned to switch out of it.

There's something about me, I'm not sure why, that makes me a very extreme long term mater type personality.  It might be that my family life was so shitty growing up, that I had the desire for a family and I try to make everyone into my extended family.

I'm like this with my friends, where I can sometimes creep people out because I do too many nice things for them, and it comes across manipulative (like "Why does he do all this for me?  He must be making millions of dollars off of me or something, it's gotta be selfish.")  I don't even blame people for feeling this way, because I so readily just want everyone around me to be happy that it's a little over the top.

The problem is this also comes across to girls like I'd be a great guy to be in a relationship with.  it sends the wrong signals and makes them want to slow down in terms of hooking up.

Are YOU doing this?  Are you a good person that wants the best for the people around you, but wind up losing girls who would have slept with you because they try to put you in a "dating frame"?

I "get it" -- and I've learned from experience that you've gotta stop putting out those cues.  Keep it short term until you've hooked up, then dial it into long term if you choose.

==========

Anyway to conclude this article, I'm just on the phone with Derrick right now by coincidence, the guy who I mentioned in the video was pursuing his higher education.

He said that it's like his early years were fully rockstar pimping.  He'd sometimes run through two or three new girls IN A NIGHT.  But he believes that the short term and long term personas can be synergistic with eachohter -- they both have the same goals of getting you laid.

In youth we can go full rockstar mode, but we also have to maintain an eye towards the future because an old rockstar is straight up pathetic.  Sacrificing all logic to preserve yourself "in state" may feel good now, but it requires the discipline to oscillate in and out of it at the appropriate times.

The same way it's pathetic when a guy is so logical that he can't get into the flow when he's out at the club, is equally pathetic when a guy can't turn it off to get back to work back at home.

Don't let the FEAR of not being able to think long term prevent you from getting into the zone.  I know that I feared this for many years and would have periods where I didn't go out because I had an unconscious fear I'd become so happy and carefree that I lost focus on work.  But the truth is that both sides of you are absolutely awesome and have value -- and they're meant to give you a great life!

I hope you enjoyed this, and thanks for reading and checking out the vid.  I'm thinking to create a Part 3 on this topic here in South Beach so keep your eyes open for it.

Have fun and let me know what you think!!
