December Programs Announced!
November 18, 2008
We’ve announced our December schedule. We’ll be doing our final Boston Workshop at the current price (prices will increase in 2009).
We’re also unveiling two new seminars. The first is our Day Game Workshop, which will include basically what is the second day of a typical workshop: day game seminar, four hours in-field and then feedback.
We’re also putting on a College Game seminar. This is a brand new program with brand new material aimed at college kids. The first one is going to be extremely affordable (so we can work out the kinks), and will likely end up costing in the hundreds of dollars. So be sure to get on that.

Learn How To Get A Girlfriend In Six Simple Steps

What if you could learn the simple skills to pick up and keep a girl any time you wanted?
Hey guys,
Mark here. Since I began coaching, I’ve been a MACHINE when it comes to studying women, social dynamics, and human behavior. I spent literally months not only reading books and checking out other dating products, but applying those concepts to my years of experience talking to women.
The problem I began running into is that when it comes to a simple goal, such as getting a girlfriend, guys are inundated with MASSIVE amounts of information. They usually get confused and/or frustrated and just give up.
So I made it my mission to synthesize all of the contemporary knowledge on how to pick up girls into one easy process.
I believe getting really good with women boils down to only SIX skills.
You may be thinking, “What about Reticular Activation Systems, and the difference between medium and large qualification hoops? What about the DHV routine stacks I wrote out and practiced in front of the mirror?”
Dude… six skills, and you will be set. It’s just a matter of singling out, focusing and practicing the skills you need to work on.
When I first explain this, it always seems a bit TOO simple. I know when I teach my students this stuff out in field, their first reaction is actually disappointment because they think, “God, I was working on all of this stuff for months and now you’re saying it didn’t even matter?” A few sets later, that disappointment usually changes to excitement.
Most guys are already proficient at four of the six. And instead of working on the other two, they use material that completely messes up the skills they’re already good at. That’s what I want to put a stop to.
I have to warn you guys first though, you’re going to read this and your first reaction will probably be: “That’s it?”
This is expected.
And that being said, these are the FUNDAMENTALS. You cannot succeed without them; and they are all you need for success with women. They’re all you need to know how to get a girlfriend fairly quickly and efficiently.
Finally, I’ll add that these six skills are placed in a special and sequential order. They each build upon the one coming before it. Earlier skills aren’t NECESSARY to move on to later ones, but they are more fundamental, meaning that skill one will improve skills 2-6, whereas skill six will have little effect on skill one.
OK, enough cockteasing… let’s get started.
1. Skill #1: Creating and Maintaining an Attractive Lifestyle — I’ll put this bluntly. If your life sucks, it doesn’t matter how much game you have, girls are not going to be interested and/or stick around. If you can talk to 100 girls a day, but you’re broke, homeless, unkept and unhappy, you’re going to end up with 100 girls blowing you off a day.
What are the components to a good lifestyle? I break them down into these categories: Health, Professional Happiness (notice I don’t say stability), Hobbies, Social Circles, Style/Grooming, and Body Language.
It’s true that guys who live sick lifestyles will naturally find girls hitting on them every so often, even guys with “no game.” I can’t tell you how many students I’ve taken out who get eye-fucked and interest from girls left and right and they’re just clueless to it. It’s because these guys — to reference the movie “Swingers” — ARE FUCKING MONEY, and they just don’t realize it.
The biggest mistake any guy can make is to GIVE UP THEIR LIFESTYLE to pick up girls. I know guys who quit hobbies, ditch friends and under-perform at their jobs for the sake of “going out and picking up more girls.” You’re shooting yourself in the foot here — failing before you even begin.
I would say, in general, most guys already have pretty strong lifestyles. They have good jobs, interests (nerdy interests are completely valid), and friends. They just don’t know how to create and/or capitalize on opportunities.
Skill #2: Approaching Women — Approaching’s SOLE PURPOSE is for the sake of creating opportunities.
There’s probably more products on the internet about approaching women than all of the other skills combined. The only reason is because approaching is the first issue guys run into, so it’s easiest to sell material on it — i.e., it’s the easiest to market and therefore the easiest to make a quick buck.
In truth, approaching is daunting as hell when you start out, but it’s actually the easiest skill to learn. It’s really just a matter of getting over the social anxiety of talking to strangers. Once you’re able to do that, getting a simple and pleasant response 90% of the time is no big feat.
Approaching is an art, not a science. You can read pages and pages on body positioning, energy levels, opening routines, etc., etc., but a calm, confident, “Hi, I’m X,” followed by a handshake will almost never fail. Ever.
Again, what guys get hung up on is their social anxiety (I refuse to call it approach anxiety because it’s a silly concept) of talking to strangers. They experience a lot of anxiety, so they assume that it must be a much more complicated process and skill than it really is. They digest hundreds of pages of theory on approaching hoping to allay their fears and nervousness about approaching. The truth is, nothing kills the anxiety other than JUST DOING IT.
I tell my students, “What you say first isn’t that important, what’s important is what you say SECOND.” Which brings us to…
Skill #3: Conversation Skills — I feel like the biggest tragedy when guys try to learn how to get a girlfriend is that guys who don’t possess basic and fundamental social skills start by immediately trying to flirt and build attraction.
You can’t run before you can walk, and as we say in Texas, you can’t put the horse before the wagon. If you are incapable of holding a pleasant and normal conversation with a stranger for more than five minutes, then how the hell are you going to make them attracted to you? Changing what you say around isn’t going to do ANYTHING, it’s just going to make things weirder and more awkward.
It’s paramount that before guys try to make a girl their girlfriend, that they know how to carry on a functioning conversation with a hot girl without freaking out — stammering, stuttering and yammering all over the place about stupid shit.
Learn how to avoid awkward silences, learn how to get her to open up talk about herself, learn how to make her laugh. Guys freak out about getting put in the “friend zone,” but if a guy has never even had a female friend before, maybe having a few female friends is the best thing that could happen to him.
It’s once you’ve learned how to comfortably build rapport and get a girl invested into the interaction that you can begin breaking that rapport and flirting — that is, building attraction.
Skill #4: Flirting — The mountains and mountains of theory has been written on attracting women — these are really all just complicated ways to describe “flirting.”
None of these gurus invented it. They just took what men and women have been doing for centuries and put their own names on it.
Flirting can be broken down into quite a simple formula. In fact, I challenge any reader to find attraction material that DOES NOT fall into this formula. Anyone who does gets a free phone consult from me (so I can put you in your place… err, I mean…).
Flirting and gaining attraction is simply a process of breaking rapport with a girl in a fun or acceptable way. Neg? Breaking rapport through a backhanded compliment. Cocky and Funny? Breaking rapport with humor. Bantering? Same.
The formula for flirting follows this progression: establish rapport, break rapport, girl qualifies and/or complies, re-establish rapport.
I dare you to find attraction material that isn’t following this basic formula.
The easiest way to flirt is to tease. All you need to tease well is a good sense of humor. Teasing breaks rapport with the girl while making her laugh. It creates a mixture of emotions: she feels good because she’s laughing, but she feels bad because you cut her down a bit. This mixture of emotions is literally what creates sexual tension — it’s emotional dissonance and something women fucking thrive on.
Guys who end up with a lot of female friends but have no idea how to get a girlfriend, flirting is the skill they need to focus on. They need to build sexual tension.
Another way to flirt or create sexual tension is by leading aggressively. Breaking rapport by leading and gaining compliance requires little more than balls and some calibration. Cute girl at the bar seems into you? Grab her hand and say, “Come on, we’re dancing.” Lead effectively. She may have not been THAT into you at the bar. But suddenly she’s dancing with you and before she knows it she’s thinking, “Wait, this guy is kind of hot!”
Skill #5: Logistics and Follow-Up — This is managing all of the odds and ends to get a girlfriend. This is learning how to deal with her friends well, how to get her to call you back, leaving good text messages and voicemails and most importantly, mastering dates.
Logistics and follow-up, although requiring a lot of minor skills and attention to detail (make sure you have a ride home, make sure you have condoms, etc.), it really hinges on you being relaxed and in control of the interaction. If you get upset easily over minor alterations in plans or unexpected factors, you will fail miserably at logistics.
Logistics and follow-up also require a lot of aggression. The more aggressive you are in pushing the interaction forward, the less time there will be for logistical interruptions and the more tenacious you will be in your follow up game.
Finally, doing well on dates requires all of the above skills as well as skill #3 — conversation skills. No matter how attracted a girl is to you, if you can’t hold interesting conversations with her for hours, you have no chance to get her to be a girlfriend.
In reality, this is where the meat of the interaction comes and this skill, in a nutshell, will determine how soon and how often you will have opportunities to get girlfriends. If your logistics and follow-up game are rock-solid, you’ll be presented with opportunities with just about every girl who picks up your phone call.
If you lack the aggression or the tenacity, your logistics and follow-up will suffer and you’ll constantly face, “the one that got away” scenarios.
Skill #6: Physicality and Sex — If skill #5 determines your opportunities to close the deal, skill #6 is the actual act of closing it.
Here’s a fact: It’s impossible to lay a girl if you do not touch her and touch her aggressively. Here’s another fact: it’s impossible to get a girlfriend if you do not lay her.
The better you are at it, the more it will accelerate the interaction and the more options you’ll have in managing the interaction and/or relationship.
Being good at foreplay and sex will determine how interested girls will be in being your girlfriend. It will also put you in a better position to manage the relationships after you sleep with the girl — you’ll have options if you decide you don’t WANT HER to be your girlfriend.
The biggest thing that puts the skids on this skill is sexual anxiety. A lot of guys will talk themselves out of golden opportunities over and over and over for no other reason than that they lack the sexual confidence to push the interaction forward.
Here’s some news: girls are usually just as nervous as you, if not more. If someone doesn’t take the risk and try to make something happen, nothing is ever going to happen. So very similarly to overcoming approach anxiety, conquering sexual anxiety is a matter of throwing yourself into the situations and doing it repeatedly.
I’m very passionate about these concepts. I’ve seen countless times with students, with my own eyes, how they got girlfriends learning and using these skills. This IS how to get a girlfriend.
This book represents all of my knowledge and experience, distilled in the most easy-to-digest, and more importantly, EASY TO PROCESS AND PRACTICE, book I could come up with.
Ask yourself, do you want to have control over your dating life… for the rest of your life?!?
What if you had the ability to get a girlfriend any time you wanted? How much would that skill be worth to you?
“I think it may very well be the best ebook I’ve ever read on dating. I know that’s a very bold statement, but what I really loved about the book is that it emphasizes the importance of EVERYTHING and shows how it all fits together. Too many books tell you to focus on only one thing, and in the process they de-emphasize everything else.”
- Justin
You could literally have this area of your life HANDLED from here on out… Think about how this would affect your life.
“”I have never really approached a woman cold before and that night and next day I think I got 8 or 9 numbers and a make-out at the last club.”
- Geoff H.
Imagine this. Even if you have a girlfriend or know how to get ONE girlfriend, always knowing that you can get another at the drop of a hat will always make you feel secure in the relationship. What I’m saying is, you won’t hang on to a crappy relationship for fear of not being able to get another one.
