lllil'0[ll0il0llMony men ore iust one skill owoy from hoving the kind of interoctions with

women thot they wont. Jocob wos on exomple of this. Thirty-four yeors

old, successfi.rl in his business, fit ond o shor;c dresser, he didn't understrcnd

why he wosn't more successful with women. He noticed thot his friends-

some of whom were sloppier, fotter ond less finonciolly successful-seemed to be oble trc get women, but somehow he couldn't. He could tolk

tc women but olwoys ended up "iust friends." h wos discouroging.

Jocob thought he wqs miles ond miles owoy from his gool of being suc-

cessful with women; in focf, he wosn'l. He hod iust obout every skill he

needed to succeed with women ond o lot more, but he didn't know how

to tolk to women so they felt he wos "romontic moteriol." Thot wos the

one skill he wos missing. Once we tought him the bosic Flirting Moves

ond the skills of tolking to women, his level of success with them rose

dromoiicolly.

You moy hove o similor problem. Secretly, like Jocob, you moy hove

wondered if there wos something wrong with you. You moy hovethought thot there's something obout you thot you couldn't see but thot

women could which drove them owoy. Or, like Jocob, you moy feor thot

you hove some bosic flow *rot continuolly sets you up lo be "iust friends"

wilh women.

The good news is thot nothing could be further from the hulh. Sure,

you've got problems. Eveqybody does. But os you've probobly seen,

plcnty of men with more problems thon you succeed with women. The

good news is lhere's no bosic flow inside of you thot keeps you from

hoving the relotionship you desire. lf you con communicote ot oll, you

con creote romontic connections wifi women. You moy simply be oneskillowoy.

When you're one skill owoy from being o good seducer,you're like o cor

with one flot tire. A cor with one flot tire drives os though it hos some-thing seriously wrong with it. lt's impossible to control, the ride is rough,

ond chonces ore you'll never gel where you wont to go in it. Driving it,

you'd be likely to conclude thot it hos serious, serious problems.

Once you reolize thot the problem is o flot tire, though, you see thot iustbecouse the problem wos noticeoble didn't necessorily meon thot it wos

fotol. By fixing the flot-o simple l0-minute procedure once you knowhow to do it-you tronsform the entire cor ond con gel where you wontto go eosily.

When Jocob leorned thot the flot tire in his doting system wos his inobil-

ity to tolk trc women in o woy thot mode them think romontic thoughts

obout him, he wos oble to correcl the problem ond his interoctions with

women improved instontly. He hod the missing piece ond wos qble to

seduce women.

Your problems, loo, moy not be os big os you thought. A simple set ofnew skills moy moke oll the difference. lf you've ever leorned ony skill

then you con leorn how to tolk to women; you've simply never been

tought how before. l/s like leorning ony new procedure. Once you mos-

il01[ il ll$0 ilil$ 800fiThere ore two types of communicotors. You must figure out which type

of communicotor you ore, becouse eoch type must proctice ond use the

skills in this book differently.

rflB lll[l|0uG||leD $0ln|nllnruam||

Most of our studenls, ond most of lhe men who ore ottrocled lo our work,

ore inlroverled communicotors. These ore men who cotegorize them-

selves os shy. They hove o hord time tolking with women ond ore more

likely to end up o wollflower thon the lih of the porty. These men oftenhove no clue qbout whot to soy lo women ond need lo slort very slow-

ly, toking one smoll slep ot o lime ond building from there.

The primoqy chollenge for the introverled communicotor is leorning to

express himself. He needs lo intensify ond escolote his signols by 500percenl. He needs ic focus on tolking more loudly, moking more eyeconloct, overcoming his shyness, being curious, osking queslions, show-

ing romontic interest ond toking risks. ln short, he doesn't need to worry

obout toning himself down; he needs to worry obout turning himself up.

ile Hr[1|0u0l|m[ c0nlnffilcauol|The extroverted communicotor tends to be enthusiostic, silly ond fun.These ore often men who ore in soles, teoching or other fields thotinvolve lots of interoctions wifi people.

lr,&r${N8tsi e

Extroverted communicoicrs odore being the center of ottention. They

oren'l necessorily scored to tolk to women, but they often don'l know whot

trc soy. They often think thot the woy trc seduce o womon is trc turn up the

volume of their personolity. This is whot the introverted communicotor

needs trc do-but for the extroverted communicoicr; il's o reol mistrrke.

lf you're on exlroverled communicolor, ky listening more, tolking more

solty ond chilling out. Don't try so hord. ln short, the exlroverted com-

municotor doesn'l need to worry obout turning himself up; he needs to

worry obout toning himself down.

As you reod this book, keep in mind which type of communicotor you

ore. This will influence your decisions obout how oggressively you use

this moteriol.

lf you ore like most of our sfudenls, tolking to women seems complicot-

ed, confusing ond difficult. Yes, there will be chollenges os you leorn totolk to women, but if you're willing to slort ot the beginning ond do the

work involved, over time you'll succeed. Unfodunotel, mony of us think

thot fie best woy to go obout leorning is to skip the first slep, or eventhe first few steps, ond to go directly lo "lhe good stuff." Building o firm

foundotion in the first few simple steps of tolking to women will help dro-

moiicolly once you stort opplying those steps to the more complex skills

we will present loter in this book.

A bod seducer-let's coll him Bob-hos trouble becouse he hosn't mqs-

o series of progressive steps you con use to leorn to tolk trc women. We

con teoch you questions, opprooches ond conversotionol modes thot will

help you be seducilve-but you must be willing to stort ot the beginning.

Once ogoin: lf you wont fic become good ot tolking ic women*thot is, if

you wont to leorn how trc tolk to women seductively-you hwe trc stort ot

the beginning.

Seducing women by tolking to them is o process. The first step of thot

process is onswering the question "How do you get thot initiol conloctwith o womon?" Aftrer we hove onswered thot question, we will go on to

leorn woys of tolking with her, woys of flirting with her ond woys of con-

strucling ond conducling romonlic, seductive conversotions. Getreody-this plone's obout to toke off.

'illlffiBB u0llr$$F"We hotre lrite, useless odvice like "Just be yourselP' or "Just go tolk toher " This kind of odvice is worse thon useless becouse it offers nothing

specific to do yet leoves you feeling bod obout yourself for not following

it. Sure, being yourself is o good thing, but how should you do thot with

women? More specificolly, which port of yourself should you be? We oll

weor mony hots in our lives. When you opprooch o womon, should you

be the self you ore ot work? The self you ore ot church? The self you ore

ot o strip club? We oll need lo cultivote the romontic ports of ourselves-

the ports thot ore noturolly fun ond seducfive, but iusl soying you should

do so is nol enough. lf iust being yourself hod worked, you wouldn't be

reoding this book. "Just be yourselP' is pretty worthless odvica.

The some goes for "Just go tolk to her." We've oll been given this lome

odvice, but most of us hove no clue whot fo tolk to o womqn obout. The

o$er doy, o shockingly beoutiful young womon we know wos wonder-

ing oloud to us why our books, oudio courses ond other moteriol ore

necessory ot oll. 'All you hove to do is go up to people ond tolk ond iustbe yourself," she told us. "lt olwoys works for me " As she soid this, her

full breosts rose ond fellwith eoch breoth ond her beoutiful blonde hoir

swoyed os she moved her heod.

We olso know o mon who is o model in o lorge city. When we go outwith him, we're olwoys omozed*hol women opprooch him ond give

him their phone numbers. He olso likes to tell us his "secrel": "Just be

yourself qnd tolk trc women lt's reolly not o big deql "

Obviously, both these people moke most of us wont to vomit with roge.

You don't hove to work hord ot leorning how to tolk to the opposile sex

if you ore in the top .01 percent of beoutiful people; if you're thot hot,

the world will beot o poth to your door. For the rest of us, lhere ore spe-

cific skills to leorn, which ore much more effective thon "Just be yourselP'

ond "Just go tolk lo her."

Our work hos olwoys been obout breoking complex sociql interoctions

infic teochoble steps so lhose who employ our methods con succeed. Our

ctudents hove discovered o new level of eose ond freedom with women

when they've leorned lo use this moteriol. We'll stort smoll, so thot no

mqller how shy you hove been, no motler how shut down you've been,

no motter how mony problems you've hod with women, you will be oble

We remember how hord it wos to tolk to women ond how much couroge

it took for us to lronsform our skills ond our obilities. We remember how

we wished we hod help in figuring out whqt to do, ond we remember

how we hod to stort with very smoll steps before we could move on to

longer conversotions. We hod to figure out tolking to women firough

triol ond error. At first we constontly foiled. We were eoch os uncom-

fortoble ond owkword when tolking to women os ony guy we've ever

met. We foiled more often thon you've foiled, ond we mode fools out of

ourselves time ofter time-but we stuck with it ond tronsformed our dot-

ing lives. We mention this not to tool our own horns but to give youhope. No motler where you ore in your life, no motler how little experi-

ence you hove with women, there is hope. You con leorn to seduce

women. You con leorn how to tolk to women. And you con hove the suc-

cess you wonl.

You con'l be on effective seducer unless you feel self-expressed oround

women. A mon who is self-expressed hos chorocter. By thot we meonthot he's on individuolwho follows his own poth. He feels confideni mok-

ing decisions obout where he wonts to toke his life. He embroces fiewoys in which he is similor to os well os ihe woys in which he is differ-

enl from others. He is oble to be himself without being overly concerned

obod how women will respond-ond he's not tqying to control or fix

women. He is outhentic ond honest. He doesn'l squelch himself, suppress

himself or hide from life.

When we soy thot you should be selFexpressed, this olso meons thot you

must find your own woy with the moteriol in this book. None of our

books or oudio courses ore designed to be o set of rules lo box you in.

We oll hove different opprooches with this moleriol-even we, Ron Louis

ond Dovid Copelond, hove very different opprooches from one onoth-

er. We ogree on the fundomentols bui we opprooch them differently.

The moin commonolity omong oll effective seducers is thot eochembroces his unique opprooch ond style. The best woy for you to com-

municote with women is to find your unique style. Otherwise you'll seemfoke qnd feel qwkwqrd when tolking lo women.

l-e/s digress for o second ond look ol the opposite of selFexpression:

withholding, feeling bottled up ond unoble to tolk to women. We've

bund thot men ore most upset, frustroted ond ploin ol' nuts when they

oren't self-expressed. Not getting loid doesn't drive guys nuts; o guy con

go months without getting loid. Whot drives men nuts is nol interocting

wiih women, not tolking lo women, hiding oul ol home ond not being in

lhc gome. Whot drives men nuls is hoving the desire to moke conlocl

wilh women ond not doing onything obout it.

Avoiding the risks of life drives men crozy-not foiling or being reiect-

rd, When you're engoged in life, toking risks ond interocting withwomon, women will find you ottroclive. Whot foils every time, however,

lr rioying on the sidelines of life feeling bottled up ond depressed.

When we soy interruplion, we don't meqn to imply being rude orobnoxious ot oll. We use the word inlerruption, though, becouse it com-

municoles o horsh truth obout tolking to women: when you first interoct

with o womon, you will probobly hove lo do something specific to direct

her otlenlion owoy from whotever else is going on in her life ond toword

you. You ore going to hove to toke some oclion-though os you will see

it doesn't hove to be o big oction-to get her ottention. There's forceful-ness oboul the word interruption thot describes the energy you will need

to do this.

As you hove no doubt noticed, women ore usuolly not thinking obout

you. They ore off in their own world, on their own vector, in their own

flow. Hot women ore not likely to come up to you ond soy, "Hey, yov

look like on interesting guy. lwould love to hove o conversolion with you

ond then seduce you." Therefore, if you ore going to interoct withwomen, your first tosk is to get their ottention. And you get their otten-

tion by interrupting fiem.

ln o certoin sense/ you ore interrupting women on o deeper ond deep-

er level with every stoge of o seduclion. You inlerrupt her when you first

soy hi to her. You inlerrupt her on increosingly deeper levels when you

tolk for the first lime, when you osk for her number ond emoil oddress,

when you hove Romontic Conversotions, when you osk her for ond con-

duct the first dote, when you go for the first kiss ond so on. You ore

olwoys interrupting her ond initioting something deeper. The burden of

initioting ond interrupting women will be on your shoulders until you

die. The tools in this book will help you corry thot lood. ln foct, they con

turn this burden into o boon for you - not iusl with women but with everyoreo of your life.

oge of equolity? Why don't women initiote with me, ond interrupt me?"

You know, it/s funny-women tolk o lot obout how men don't feelenough. They comploin thoi men oren't more sensilive ond bemoon how

oll thot "mole privilege" ond "mole power" hove mode men shut down

emotionolly. Well, you know the truth os well os we do. Men's egos

oren'l o mess becouse men ore so oll-powerful or becouse men live lives

of complete ond totol privilege qnd eose. Men's egos ore o messbecouse they don't hove ony tools for hondling relection, ond they hove

tc throw their ego in the sewer every lime they opprooch-ond riskbcing reiected by-o womon. So of course men oren'l going to be emo-tionolly sensitive. Constonl reiection mokes you wont to be o little lesscmotionolly sensitive, right? Whot on oslonishing surprise.

Here's the bottom line: women don'l opprooch you becouse doting is not

foir. Thot's why. They don't wonl to throw their egos in the sewer, ond

they don't hove io becouse they're women. They ore ollowed to demond

equolity os much os they wont ond still leove oll the risking of initiotion

to you (ot leost in the eorly ports of doting).

We suggest thot you occepl thot this is the woy it is qnd thot insteod of

being upset obout it, you reolize thot this octuolly gives you o certoinkind of power. lf you hove to do oll the interrupting ond initioting, you

gei to soy when you will opprooch o womon. You get to soy when youwill osk her ouf you get to soy when you will fli*with her. Once youstort seeing thot hoving to do oll the initioting ond hoving to toke oll the

risks gives you the power to go ofter whot you wonl, lhe fqct fhot women

don't hove to initiote with men will not bother you so much.

Okoy, our little men's rights speech is over. We ogree thot you hove

every right to be mod obout this stote of offoirs-but stoying mod does-n't work. lt won't get you the girl. The good news is thqt when you know

how trc toke the proper risks with women, one step ot o time, you don't

hove to shut down your emotions ond become on unfeeling ierk in order

lo initiqte with women. And once you know how to do it, you'll be qble

to go ofter the women you wont with o lot more freedom thon mostwomen feel they hove lo go ofter the men they desire.

Your obility to initiote with ond interrupt women is criticol. Everything in

this book is built on thot skill. Successful seducers understond the stoges

of seduction ond ore willing lo stort ot the beginning. Before we give you

specific woys to stort inlerrupting women, it will be helpful for you to

As you leorn to interrupt ond initiote with women, you must remember

rhot oll your interoctions with women bosicolly boil down lo o numbers

gome. A certoin omounl of the time you will succeed; the resl of the time

you won't. The greot thing is thot if you hove enough interocfions, yoursuccess is oll but qssured.

lfs like the insuronce solesmon who knows thot he needs to moke 75

cold colls to get one oppointment ond thot it trckes four oppointments to

get one sole. Therefore, he knows thqt he needs to moke 300 cold colls,

give or toke, lo get one sole. He knows ifs o numbers gome ond thot oll

he hos to do is to continue moking those colls. Eventuolly the numbers

willwork in his fovor ond he'll mqke o sole. With women, it might toke

l0 interruplions to get one conversotion, 10 conversotions to gel onephone number qnd l0 numbers to get one dote. This is good to knowbecouse eqch "foiled" interoction brings you closer trc success.

The key difference between successful seducers ond unsuccessful ones is

thot the successful ones know il's o numbers gome ond keep going nomotler whot. Unsuccessful seducers whine to their friends, hide in their

bedrooms or feel upset ond give up opprooching women entirely. Troin

yourself to see thqt opprooching women is o numbers gome.

Men olten feel bod obout themselves when they see on opportunity toopprooch or tolk to o womon ond they don't toke it. They don't toke the

opportunity becouse they ore scored or upset or becouse they simplydon't know whot to soy. This leods to missed opportunities ond plenty of

good old-foshioned self-criticism. "l wos such on idiot not to tolk to her,"

hese guys will soy tc themselves. 'Whot o moron I om. I con't believe how

stupid I wos not to tolk to her. lt wos o perfe'ct opportunity. She wos so hot.

l'll probobly never gel on opportunity like thot ogoin, ond I blew itl"

There ore lots of times in life when beoting up on yourself to get your-

self to behove better is o good ideo. There ore lots of times when itworks. Unbrtunotely, this is not one of those times. When you don't toke

on opportunity with o womon ond then punish yourself for not toking it,

you lusl ottoch o lot of poin to the whole ideo of toking opportunities to

tolk to women. This mokes you less likely to tolk to o womon the next

time on opporfunify comes up/ nol more.

There's o sequence in the woy most men treot opportunities with women.

First, you don'l see opporfunities ot oll. h seems like there ore no women

on his plonet for you trc interoct with. Second, you stort to see opporfuni-

l{}*syyr $&iil ; l**e s{}.'{iri&,Eiif i*si*$ {gl, **tt -fxpllsssi'3}

ties but don'l yet hqve the obility to trrke them. lf you ollow yourself to let

thot be okoy, in time you simply find yourself storting to toke those oppor-

tunities thot life presents to you. Howeve4 if you beot yourself up for not

trcking opportunities, this sequence is disrupted. Beoting yourself up for not

toking opporlunities iust mokes it horder to see ond trcke them in the future.

People who troin group focilitotors know thot this is true. At first, students

moy hwe no ideo ot oll obout how to leod o certoin type of process ino group; they simply wotch in owe qs other people leod. ln time, they

stort to understond how to leod but they don't quite know the processwell enough to step oul ond octuolly leod; they wotch from the sidelines,

full of good ideos obout how they would leod o process but not quitereody to toke chorge themselves. lf they ollow this to hoppen withoutbeoting up on themselves, in time they simply nolice thot they ore step-

ping out ond leoding*ond nothing speciol needs to hoppen for thot to

occur. lf they beot lhemselves up, however, they stoll the entire leorning

process ond moke it horder to toke oction when the time comes.

Once you breok the link between seeing on opportunity ond feeling bod

obout not toking it, you cqn breok the hold thot this cycle hos over you.

Wc suggest thot you let yourself go through o phose of purposely nottoking opportunities with women. Just observe them ond let yourself feel

good obout yourself even when you oren't toking them. Soy lo yourself,

'l'm oble to see opportunifies, ond thot/s on importont step. l'll tokeopporfunities loter." ln time, your nervous systrem will be so used to spot-

llng opportunities thot it will be much eosier to trrke them.

you must do too.

deep, romontic ond seductive conversotions with women. But lc wield these

tools effectMely you musl underslrcnd the noture of risking with women.

Doing ony of the things we tolk obout in this book will require toking

some risk. Most men ore exlremely overse to risking with women; they

live their lives trying to ovoid it. Mony men who oren'l successful with

women ore committed to eliminqting risk with women; tho/s their unsuc-

cessful strotegy for.success.

Men ore obsessed with not risking with women moinly for two reosons.

Firsl, they don't wont to be hurt by o risk gone wrong. lt totolly sucks to

toke some big risk with o \ /omon only to be shot down in one of the

olmost infinite number of woys women hove of shooting down men.

Second, men-especiolly shy men-wont to eliminote risk with \/omen

becouse they ore ofroid thot they will somehow hurt the womon they risk

ill9G,_,'Ulsiilt itg$lvrr" S{I{. LOrtUIlUts {Ut i{lt "{fprgJniuf

with. They ore ofroid thot if they toke o risk, the womon will be upset,

offended or emotionolly domoged in some woy.

For ihese men, the opporent onswer to both of these problems isdecreosing risk ond increosing control over their interoctions withwomen. They stort looking for the foolproof, olwoys-completely-in-con-

trol, no-risk system for seducing women. Like o bod solesmon who seeks

thot "mogic close" thot will force o customer to buy, buy,buy, o guy who

con't risk with women will look for psychologicol tools thot con force o

womon to be ottrocted to him. He'll buy pig-pheromone colognes, hop-ing the scent will owoken o womon's inner vixen. He'll ploy "subliminol

seduclion" oudiotopes for her, hoping it will somehow creote chemistqy

between them. Or he'll tqy to leorn hypnosis, hoping to use it to bom-

boozle o womon into toking her ponts off. He does oll this in on ottempt

ic eliminote oll risk with o womon ond to estoblish in its ploce complete

conhol over qll of his interoctions with her.

There ore severol problems with this. First, eliminoting oll risk with o

womon ond estoblishing complete control over your interoctions with her

doesn't work. ln foct, il's the opposite of whot works with women. Think

obout how you feel when you're wilh someone who's committed to com-

plebly controlling your interoction with him ond the outcome of thot inter-

oction: you con't get owoy fost enough. Well, thof's exoctly how women

belwih o mon who's committed to eliminoting risk, controlling the inter-

oction ond forcing o cerloin outcome. (solesmen ore sometimes like this.)

h doesn't motler how good o pre-scripted rop you come up with; i/s

Second, most men get discouroged with me$ods of seducing women in

which the monlrq seems lo be "control, iontrol, control." Men wonl to

be oble to express themselves ond creote successful, seductive interoc-

tions wifi women. As one mon told us, "lf I wonted to hide behind o'foke self,' fien I might os well go to o proslitule." lf you wont onythingdeep or spontoneous with women, eliminoting qll risk ond controllingeverything is not the woy to get it.

At the some time, it olso doesn'l work to "iust do if'-to toke huge risks

with women oll of the time. We used to know o guy whose life's philos-ophy wos "Go for lhe roor." This meont thot every time he sow some-

thing scoqy or risky, he hod to do it-becouse if he didn't, os he put it,

he "wosn'f reolly living his life." We think this is ridiculous, ond the trou-

ble it creoted in his life bocks us up on thot. Just becouse you con toke

o huge risk with o womon doesn't meqn thot you should.

Just os risking becouse you con isn'l the onswer, letting go of qll control

in your inleroctions with women is probobly o bod ideo trco. Letting go

of guiding or directing conversqlion in ony woy will oll too often gel you

onother femole "triend," ond we've qll hod quite enough of thot.

lf eliminoting risk entirely ond controlling every'hing doesn't work with

women, ond toking oll the risks you con ond letting go of oll controldoesn't work, whol does? The onswer is thot you must loke risks, but you

musl toke them in o sensible, oppropriote ond orderly foshion.Surprisingly ond porodoxicolly, you octuolly provide more of o sense of

both sofety ond excitement to women when you toke intelligent ond

oppropriote risks with lhem one step ol o lime. Tho/s whot creotes both

chemistry ond trust.

IAfi|llg fl|l[ 0M1lg RHfi$Mony men think thot when they toke o risk with o womon they ore some-

how toking something from her, but the iruth is this: when you toke on

oppropriofie risk with o womon you ore giving something to her. Your

risk with her creotes o spoce for her fo toke o risk bock with you, which

builds trust, sofety ond ottroclion with you. lf you don't ioke o risk with

her there's no spoce for her to risk with you, qnd she con't hove o relo-

tionship with you, even if she wonis one.

Think of it this woy: often o guy will woit oround for o womon to riskwith him before he risks with her. He wonts her to soy hi, he wonts her

trc osk him out, he wonts her to go for the first kiss. But why should o

womon do something you oren't willing to do? Remember, most of the

lime q womon is looking to you to set the poce ond feel for your inter-

oction. lf you toke q smoll risk with her, she will see on opening to do

lhe some wiih you. lf you toke no risks ot oll, try to keep conlrol of every-

thing ond work lo force o certoin outcome with her, she will do the some

with you-ond itwon't be the outcome you wont. She will be controllingond defensive, ond her gool will be to get owoy from you.

Ar o generol rule, women will only risk os much os you do, if thot much.

When you toke on oppropriole risk with o womon, it octuolly provides

on opening for her to be self-expressed ond hove fun with you. This is

whot we meon when we soy thot you must provide risks for women.

Whcn you toke on oppropriote risk with o womon, you give her the

opportunity trc risk bock with you. Thot's providing o risk, ond it's thefoundotion for creoting chemistqy ond trust with women.

When the two of you toke o smoll risk together-for instonce, you moy

provide o risk by winking qt her ond she moy risk smiling bock-o little

trust is built between you. You con then build on thot trusl to provide o

slightly lorger risk. For instonce, you moy provide o risk by osking her

'Whofs the story behind lhot?" obout her neckloce, ond she moy toke

o risk by telling you obout how she got it on o trip to Centrol Americo.

When thot risk hos gone well, there is even more trust between you. You

con then provide the next lorger risk ond she con risk bock. ln lime, o

sense of trust ond sofety develops.

Simultoneously, this process creotes o reol sense of excitement ondchemistry between you. The two of you ore constontly in the process of

being "on the edge" with eoch other, constontly reveoling o little more

of yourselves with every risk, olwoys trusting ond risking o little moreeoch time. Thot process is where excitement ond chemistry come from.

Thot process is where o lot of oilroclion comes from. And thot is oprocess you con leorn how to monoge without being conlrolling, trying

to eliminote risk or ottempting to force on oulcome.

Building o relotionship with o womon is o lot like building o house in which

your intimocy ond connection con live. You build thot house one brick ol o

time. Every lime you fiake o risk ond she trckes one bock ond it works, you

put onolher brick in the wolls of the house. After o while you've built four

wolls of trust thot con contnin the relotionship you hwe with her.

;{}s*n***}}}9rw{}}s*{}.*1,**. ,;{pi*$it}lq $*l}$i*if"f}i$risiii'it}tx

lf you risk too much loo fosl, you ore trying to live in the house before it

is built, ond trouble will come if ony problems occur. At the some time,

if you don't risk ot oll, you never even build o foundotion for o relotion-

ship, much less the four wolls ond roof. The level of risk you should toke

is reloted to how much of this house you hove built. lf you hove o lot of

trust built up from toking mony risks together you con proceed lo some

bigger risks. lf you don't hove o lol of trust built up you need to toke

smoller risks.

lfs importont to underscore thot trust is built over lime ond thot chemistryond ottroction ore not the some os trust. A mon who doesn't hove much

hcility or experience with risk will trust o womon woy too fost. He'll trusl

hcr utterly ond completely with his entire heort the moment he experi-

onces ony chemistry with her. Thofs o reolly bod ideo.

Wc hod one student who wos doting o women whom he wos cerloin

wq3 "fhe one" ofter only one dote. He wos hoving tremendous success

wih her os he meosured it: she seemed to like him, it wos very exciting

ond delightful to be with her ond they were hoving omozing sex togeth-

rr, He iumped in deep, reolly opening his heort lo her in o motler of

doyr, totolly risking himself emotionolly. After oll, whot could possibly go

Wrll, plenty could go wrong ond plenty did go v/rong. After o couple of

vrtkr, this "perfect womon" disoppeored. She rorely returned his collsqnd rtrcrted blowing off their dotes. Finolly she told him, "l like you, but

iionship right now. Besides, l'm sort of seeing this other guy..." He wos

devostoted, heodbroken ond even more ofroid of toking risks withwomen thon he hod been before.

When you meet o hot womon with whom you hove greof chemislry, yovr

tendency might be to toke big emotionol risks with her os quickly os you

con. Thot is o big mistoke. h's insone to risk your entire heort right owoy.

Toke smoll risks one ot o time ond build fust over time. lf you risk toomuch too quickly you'll hove your heort sploftered oll over the povement,

ond you'll hove short, possionole offoirs thot end with you being heort-broken qnd olone.

Thot hoppens when you iump in too deep too fost, ond you do thot when

you misfoke chemistqy for truslworthiness. Just becouse you hove chem-

istry with o womon doesn't meon she won't floke out on you. lt doesn't

meon she won't hove emotionol problems thot will couse her to leove. lt

doesn'l meon you con counl on her. But when you hove greot chemistry

with o womon, you're oll too likely to think thot it meons you con count

on her, ond you'll end up risking too much with her.

The solution is trc go sloily ond build trust with o womon before you giveher your heort fully. ln other words, you must risk slowly, over time, in

the woy we will show you. lf you ore going trc foll in love with o womon

you ore reolly ottrocted lo, you need to toke risks one slep ol o lime to

find out if you con lrust her. You need to know if she's o psycho who'sgoing trc go nuls ond toke off on you, breoking your heort. You con only

find this out by risking the proper omount ot the proper tempo.

On the up side, most women ore incredibly ottrocted to o mon who con

sey, "l reolly like you, ond I wont us to toke the time to leorn to reollytrust eoch olher so we con truly open up ond be intimqte. I wont to toke

things slowly ond build o connection \ /e con trust." Soying this sort of

thing tends to moke o womon feel reolly sofe wifi you ond desire youoll the more. After oll, you oren't just trying to get os much sex out of

her os you con, like oll those other guys. She likes this; therefore, she

wonls lo hove sex with you. A mon slowing things down ond risking with

her one step ot o time con be on incredible ophrodisioc to o womon.

Slowing down o romontic relotionship with o womon you ore oftrocted

to might suck, bul il doesn'l suck os much os I ) hoving o short offoir thot

Le/s look ot how to provide risks for women. Mosl nice guys do not toke

enough risks qnd they do not provide enough risks for women, sowomen hove loo few opportunities to toke risks bock. How do you pro-

vide risks lo o womon? You provide risks by toking risks. Thofs impor-

lonl, so lefs soy it ogoin: You provide risks by toking risks.

It helps t'c think of risk os o currency thot you exchonge with o womon.

You put up o penny ond she puts up o penny. You put up o dollor, she

puts up o dollor. You put up tren dollors, she puts up len dollors. You're

trust. lf you put up your penny ond she tokes it ond runs, you know not

trc put up o hundred dollors. But if she puts up o penny bock, you know

you con tqke the risk to put up o nickel. lf she gives you o nickel bock,you con then put up o dime.

Let's give some specific exomples now of the kinds of risks you con toke

ot different levels: penny risks, dollor risks ond $10 dollor risks.l"Greet," we heor you soying-"now lolking wilh women is like bonk-ing ond investing." Who would've known?)

Bizorrely, though, thot is whot tolking lo women is like. Successfulinvestors leorn lo toke intelligent finonciol risks; most of fie time theyleorn how fo do thqt by toking smoll risks ond moving up to lorger ones

os they gei better ot it. As o resuh, they get better returns thon do peo-

ple who never invest their money, who never firke ony risks with it ond

who leove it in the bonk eorning interest ot three percent or less. Byleorning obout intelligent risk, successful inveslors ore oble to leveroge

lheir ossets, toking the risks thot deliver the best returns.

Penny Risks. You con think of the first risks you toke with o womon-the interruptions thol ollowyou to speokwith her-os penny risks. Soyinghi is o penny risk. So is moking eye contocl, winking ot her, smiling other, checking out her body ond the other Flirting Moves. Eoch one of

these smoll octions tokes o risk with o womon ond gives her the oppor-

tunity to risk bock with you by being responsive in some woy. lf she does

respond with o risk of her own, you ore in business ond con move on lo

the dollor risks.

irl$sr,,{r,i8*'ls w8r, s8. &is}{.gsr:f}$$s a{.|$ $s',r"gi;prsssi',r}

Dollor R.isks. The dollqr risks ore lorger, but if the penny risks wentwell, why not move on? Complimenting o womon is o dollor risk, os is

osking o question we'll teoch you, 'lVho/s the story behind rhot?" The

Goodbye lntroduclion, which you'll leorn, is o dollor risk, os is Situotionol

Flirting, Deepening ond osking Romontic Questions. These risks oll pro-

vide her with the opportunity to risk more by shoring more obout herself

with you. So she storts to risk liking you, which meons she could get hurt.

These risks ore whot generote the excilement in o relotionship.

$ t O Oollqr R.isks. Asking for her number ond emqil oddress, settingup o dote, showing up for the dole, doing somelhing together on the

dote, touching her, going for the first kiss ond being even more sexuol

ore oll bigger risks. These risks ond oll the risks thot leod up lo her shor-

ing her life with you, even if only for o little while. She slorts to risk thot

you might chonge her life in woys she did not plon on.

This is on exciting process for both of you. And with eoch new risk you

evoluote how it went before toking the next one. lf o smoll risk did not

pon oul, don't go on to toke o bigger risk. lnsteod, you might wonl to

step by step.

lfs importont for you to reolize the risks you provide when deoling with

women. Eoch risk offers o spoce for mogic to hoppen between the two

of you, ond it's o gift thot you os o mon provide. You're not perpetroF

ing evil or hurting someone else; you're providing thot excitement thot

women need so much.

il[BllrgBll[RFfi$ r0flD [0 RBUAl|ffiEverything we will teoch you in this book is to some degree o risk youwill hove lo toke with women. By knowing thot ond by being oble to tqke

those risks one step ot o lime, you will hove the power to creole excite-

menl ond trust in your inleroctions with women. Of course, some ofthose risks won't work out, but we'll teoch you how to hondle reiection

too. ll/s oll port of leorning how to tolk to women.

As you use the tools in this book, your monlro should not be "control, con-

hol, conhol." Thot will only get you intrr trouble. Your monlro should be

"risk, risk, risk." lntelligent risks, token step by step. By using these tools

to risk being romontic rother thon to conhol the interoction, you will be

oble to mqnqge the orderly unfolding of o relotionship. lt moy be short-

term, il moy be long term. lt moy be deeply intimote, it moy be purelysexuol. But there will be o reol connection-ond you won't hove to sell

yourself out to get it.

An importont ospect of self-expression is curiosity. h's similor to enthusi-

osm: you've goi lo use it or lose it. Once you've repressed your curiosi-

ty long enough, it tokes time to gel it bock.

Mony of us were tought os children not lo osk questions, to ovoid being

loo curious. We qll know the expression "curiosity killed the cot." Asking

questions ond being curious were often soid to couse trouble.

N,l$*Nr|jp$i;i$ &XsrNr*ll_ *is&, $[ 8i']$i&i| *il$ &{}ls"*lrsFesfi i*ii

Another "problem" with curiosity is thot when you stort osking questions

you slop being in conhol of the interocfion. When you osk o womon

questions obout herself, suddenly you're nol in control of whot she might

soy. As we've soid, most guys come to us wonting o line or rouline.They're looking for o structure they con impose on on interoction thotwill keep them in control ond get her romonticolly interested. But when

you loke the risk of not knowing whot is going to hoppen, ond surren-

der to the choos of interoctions ond conversotions with women, you're

more likely to connect with them ond more likely to come ocross os fun

ond ottroclive.

You con stort the process of letting out your curiosity by osking \ /omen

questions ond simultoneously letting go of ony oufcome. Let go of trying

to get into her ponls ond getting her number (for o second) ond iust see

if it feels different. We're not soying thot trying to get info her ponts is o

bod thing ot oll-we're iust soying thqt when you concentrotre on gettinginto her ponts os your sole oulcome ifs very difflcult to moinloin o con-

versotion ond therefore hord to get into her ponls.

You never know where q conversotion is going to go wifi o womon, butif you've got to stoy in control ond reslroin your own curiosity ond never

osk o queslion you don't olreody know the onswer tc you'll never be suc-

cessful. Most men lusl give up becouse not knowing where on interoc-

tion is going is iust too scory.

Another odvontoge of leorning to be curious is thot i/s not the leost bit

monipulotive or scom-oriented. When you toke risks with women ondthey risk with you, reol intimocy con develop.

lf being curious is difficult for you right now, don't worry. After you stort

experimenting with being curious it will become o lot eosier.

fl0ut m n$il u0ilt$ll m$$il01t8We're now going tc explore how to osk women questions. This is notrocket science. So mony men feel like they need trc know the right things

to soy to o womon. The truth is thot you don't need speciolized esoteric

queslions; you iust need to know how to be curious ond osk questions.

Le/s look ot the different kinds of questions you con osk. There qre ini-

tiol questions, the first questions you osk someone. Then there ore fol-

low-up queslions, which follow up on the response to your first question.

Pretty simple so for, right? You got it. The bosic sequence is you osk o

question, she responds ond you osk onolher question. lt s olmost likehoving o reol live conversotion where you ore opening your mouth ondtolking One question leods to onother ond before you know it women

ore reveoling themselves to you. They ore risking themselves to you ond

you ore risking with them by osking questions ond reveqling yourself.

Here ore some hondy, eosy-fo-use rules for osking queslions ond hovinggood conversotions with women.

you get your hoir so ugly?" or "How did you get so slupid?," you oren'l

going to go onyraAere good. We include these only for comic relief.When you first meet o womon it usuolly mokes sense lo slort with o sim-

ple question.

Mony of our students moke the error of moking siotements rother thon

osking questions. For exomple, o student recently told us thot he'd osked

o womon o question the other doy. Here's how he described it: 'lVewere qt o concert ond I soid to her, 'The floor sure is sticky."'Well, tho/s

not o queslion, ond thot doesn't offer much of on opening for her torespond. You need to osk questions thot evoke o response from her, not

simply mqke slotemenls.

sure like the bond," Louis ond Copelond would come to your house ond

breok your finger. This is o slotrement obout yourself, not o questionobout her. You must leqrn the difference. This point seems simple, bul

mony guys mess it up. You need to osk her something thot will engoge

her in o bock-ond-forth conversotion, noi spew your opinions obout life.

At firsl, o womon won'l be interested in you or your opinions. lnsteod,

she'll be inlerested in tolking obout herself. This meons thol your focus

should be osking questions thot let her do iust thot. Rother thon tolking

oboul your fovorite color, osk her whol her fovorite color is. Rother thon

roving obout the greot new CD you iust brought, osk her whot sort of

music she likes. Rqther thon tolking obout your fovorite seoson, osk her

whot her fovorite seoson is.

m llm a$il $ru[l[, $ll8B$u [ll$$il0lt$When you're interocting wiih o womon ond osking questions you ore

not ollowed to osk "Do you come here often?" You ore olso prohibited

you will come ocross os o totol boneheod. The lost thing you ore for-

bidden from osking is'nVhofs your sign?" These oll sound too much like

lines ond come ocross os boring ond stupid. The good news is thot there

ore countless good, simple questions. Once you get your curiosity cir-

cuitry going, you won'l hove o problem osking them.

m m a$H 0u$t'ng $Bfiilal 0il$$n0n$You might find yourself wondering, "Gee, ore lhose breost implonts?

How do they stond up so well?" Thofs obviously not o question you're

going to wont to osk. We probobly don'l hove to tell you this, but we

wonled to double- ond quodruple-check.

We're not suggesting thot you ovoid thinking obout sex or ovoid won-

l0[f tFfl sfi lte lv*':tstt" &is&. {}{iri*$sge}l{l $clr.gx$p*s${*n

things we qll wonder obout when we tolk to women. Don't even tqy to

suppress fiose thoughls. We're iust soying thot none of those questions

will fly. Just remember thot you risk foce slops, explosive forms of vio-

lence, sexless nights ond trouble if you moke overtly sexuol comments.

R$fir[g a[8$[ru]l$ ffi ll0[ all lllmrl|0xffil0llIt helps trc soy something like 'Wov/' or "Reolly'' or 'Thofs interesting"before osking o bllow-up question. When you use those phroses, trcke o

breoth between questions ond listen to her response/ so q womqn won't

hel os if you're grilling her. Put owoy the interrogotion-room spotlight ond

moke sure you woid.bombording her with ropid-fire questions. Some

men will keep osking o womon '1/Vhy? Why? Why?" or borroge her with

questions until she flips out. Tho/s onother woy trc hove her feel like she's

locked in on inlerrogoiion room with you. lf you osk one question ot o time

ond go ol o slow, reloxed poce, lhe conversotion will foel nofurol ond eosy

trc susficin.

When some guys ore excited they feel pumped up. While being ener-

gized is o good thing, sometimes guys in this stote tend to osk too mony

questions too quickly ond nol ollow women enough time to respond. Justremember to slow down, give her time to respond, odd o few oppre-ciotive comments ond you'll be fine.

SITUATION: You're ot o concert, listening to the music ond stondingnexi to on ottroctive womon. Whot do you do? Here's the sequence we

recommend you stort employing when tolking lo women:

First, breothe deep into your body. Mony men breofi shollowly, ondhigh in their chests-this reolly doesn't leove you feeling powerful-forlhot, you need to breothe more deeply. We coll this "breofiing into your

bolls." When we soy this, we meon toke o deep breoth, ond imogine

thot feeling going oll the woy down to the core of your body, oll the woy

down into your bolls. lt moy sound silly, but ifs been our observotion thot

it mokes o big difference.

Second, osk yourself whot you could be curious obout with this womon.

Third, listen lo the response you gel.

Here's o choin of curiosity questions thot you could use ot the concerl:

"So, whot do you thinkof the

bond?"When she onswers, "They're

greol," run through the sequence ogoin:

o Breqthe into your bolls.o Ask yourself whot you could be curious obout in her response.o Listen to lhe onswer.o Ask your follow-up queslion.

For exomple, 'lVhot do you think of lhem?" or 'The boss ploye/s got

reolly wild hoir. Whot do you think obout it?"

See how simple this con be? Once you reolize thot you don't hove to put

yourself on the line ond show off, tolking to women becomes o lot eqs-

ier. Whqfls importonl is for you to osk questions thot moke her impressed

with herself-qnd when you focus on osking questions thot moke her

impressed with herself, your life will be much eosier.

ond mention o newly releosed movie, so you run through the process

ogoin:

o Breothe into your bolls.. Ask yourself whot you could be curious obout in her response.. Toke o second ond listen to the onswer.r Ask your follow-up question.

You respond, 'lVhot did you like obout thol movie?" or "ls thot the kind

of movie you normolly like?" or 'lVhot kind of movies do you tend to

rent?" This will get her telling you obout herself. Then you con osk her

more questions. Over time, these sorts of conversolions con gel much

more intimote ond personol.

We strongly recommend you proctice being curious wifi both men ondwomen. A gome thoi we like to ploy (though we don't tell other people\ /e ore ploying it ) is seeing how long we con go in o conversotion with-

oul reveoling onything obout ourselves. ln the gome, you're onlyollowed to osk questions of onother person.

We were recently listening to o speech given by morketing guru JoyAbroms. He wos tolking obout the power of questions ond the power of

listening. Abroms told o slory obout o time he wos troveling cross-coun-

try ond met o guy on on oirplone. Abroms storting osking the guy ques-

tions obout himself. They tolked for hours-neorly the whole trip. At the

end of the conversotion, the mon lurned to Abroms ond soid, 'You ore

the most interesting guy l've ever mel." Abroms commenled fiot theironic port wos thot he (Abroms) did not soy onything obout himself; he

iust kept osking questions.

We mention this story lo show how people will bond with you ond feel

comfortoble with you when you give them the gift of osking questions.

When you provide womenon opportunity trc tolk ond express themselves,

they will not only feel bonded to you but they will olso feel oppreciotive

lhot someone listrened to them. They moy not consciously reolize thot you

only listened lo them ond only osked questions without shoring muchobout yourself. Still, os in Abroms's story they will be conscious of feel-

ing closer to you.

We osk o lot of women if they've ever been on o dote with o guy who

iust tolked obout himself, never shutting up or osking her onything. They

oll soy yes. They mention thol i/s rore for o mon to be o good listener.

As porf of your curiosity skills, toke the time to listen to how women

onswer your queslions.

Good news: you ore now free of hoving to generote mogicol converso-

tion lo impress o womon. Better news: you ore now free lo osk questions,

lisien to the responses ond osk more queslions. o

clraD[8r 2I1t8 ilt pt'0graln I uffilt[uYou've leorned obout the importonce of interrupting ond initioting inter-

octions wifi women. Here's o simple woy to stort putting thot knowledgeinto oction, storting todoy.

Lel's tolk specificolly obout how you interrupt women ond redirect their

otlention toword you. Mony men think thot whot they reolly need is o

greot opening line. Guys often osk us, 'Whot ore the opening lines thot

women like?"

Here ore some opening lines we know women don't like, jusi for your

omusemenl:

"Hey boby, let's do breokfost tomorrow-sholl I coll you or nudge

you?"

"Hi, my nome is Dovid. Remember il, becouse you'll be screomingit loter tonight "

"Hey boby, ore you weoring your spoce underweor tonight?

Becouse your oss is out of this world "

"Hey se4y, how would you like to ioin me in doing some moth?

Le/s odd you ond me, subhoct our clothes, divide your legs ond

then muhiply "

"lf I could rewrite the olphobet, I would put U ond I together."

'There musl be something wrong with my eyes. I con't toke them

off of you."

"Excuse me, do you hove o quorter thot I con borrow? I told my

mother thot I would coll her when I found the girl of my dreoms."

"Congrotulolionsl You've been voted most beoutiful girl in this

room. The grond prize is o night with me "

"Hey boby, is your dod o boker? Couse you sure hove greol bunsl"

We ore getting nouseoled.

Lefs be obsolutely crystol cleor: we ore nol suggesting you use these

lines. We include them to drow your ottention to the bosic problem with

opening lines: no motter how cute, sexy or obnoxious your opening line

is, ofter you've used it, you ore still foce to foce with o womon. When

you use some opening line, she either loughs, snorts or throws o drink

in your foce. Then you still hqve to come up with something to soy next.

lf onything, cutresy opening lines moke it horder to connecl with owomon, becouse so often they ore stupid lines thol piss women off.

The University of Chicogo did o study of opening lines (your tox dollors

ot work ) ond found thot "Hi" is the mosl effective opening line with o

womon. "Hi" is followed in effectiveness by "Do you like the bond?" (But

only if there's o bond ploying-try to keep thot in mind.)

The bottom line is ihere is no opening line thot con keep you from hov-

ing lo generote o conversotion with o womon, so you might os well use

hi-ot leost it won'i piss her off. Of course, you'll still hove the problemof needing to generote o conversotion with her, but we'll get to thot.

First, lefs tolk obout thot best of oll opening lines, the word "hi."
