I think there is a big difference, if I compliment a girl like: "you know why I like you? because I have fun with you and you make me laugh ", than to ask her whether she fulfills my high standards. I think, only the former option is a sign of that you are the challenge (and that she is doing good) and that you have high standards.

Doesn't matter. You can arrange it however you want to sound however you want, and it's just qualification. She doesn't care how high your standards are (as if these things can ever be known), all she cares about is if she meets them or not. It's human nature. I mean, I guess getting her to comply by answering the question counts for something. But in the end, letting her know why you like her is far more valuable. In fact, it's almost necessary.

Typically, when I see guys with girls who are much hotter than them, it comes from at least one of the following three things that does it: 1) great attractive lifestyle and/or commonalities with the girl, 2) being aggressive and persistent, and 3) connecting with them emotionally very quickly (vastly underrated).

I have never gotten a super hot girl (runway model, professional dancer, etc.) because of my witty lines or comebacks. In fact, a couple of the hottest girls I've been with HATED being teased and negged. For me, it's always been from some combination of the three things above.

Coincidentally, the three things above will also get you pretty much any girl you approach.

How do you connect emotionally with a girl?

Ok back to the topic: does anyone know anything about Brent Smith? Never heard of the guy before and I found some of his videos on youtube... just curious...

I think he worrked for Double Your Dating way back in the day, was on David D's interview series, etc. My recollection is that people tended to say he was the best guy they had.

Supposedly he only deals with rich and elite clients that have to prove and show their net worth (see link below).

It reeks of scam, but hey, I won't hate. If guys can't see through it themselves, then they deserve a hole in their wallet.

Really though, think about it...if anyone were THAT affluent, would they really need to have someone teach them cold approach pickup? Or would they just call up a high class escort?

I'm sure Brent is a nice guy, but his website comes off as leeching badly.

I remember reading about Brent back in the day. He's independently wealthy, good-looking and well connected.

His main demographic are cougars; widowed or divorced women who are up for casual sex. All Brent has to do is turn up, acting charming and 'indifferent', hand out his number and wait. His Fabio-like looks and honesty probably form the majority of his 'game'.

That said, I do remember some pretty good advice from Brent.

Brent smith has some pretty good advice on being indifferent, i.e
this

Some of his other youtube clips are pretty good but that's all I really know about him.

Where I've disagreed with him is his whole 'let her pursue you' thing where he advises not to ask for phone numbers and just give her your number instead.

Brent is allegedly in the 1000s in terms of conquests. Given his model-like looks I'm not going to disbelieve him

His whole game revolves around being 'indifferent'. With that many conquest under his belt I don't think he does care if they call or not. However, it's not really an effective model unless you're as rich or handsome as him. But at least it's not as creepy as some gurus' methods

After following JT's link I think the guy is a total scam artist. He is looking for clients with $50 million net worth, 7 figure minimum total commitment? Why would somebody with that much money hire this fucker?
