Indifference, its something that is said all though the PU community and in lots of books etc etc. There are loads of methods for showing it, turning your back or looking like your about to walk away.
This is fine, however this is (in my opinion) outer indifference. People are still dependant on the outcome, people judge themselves on the outcome.
What do I mean by judging on the outcome, the people who rate how good of a PUA they are based on their closes. This is a very dangerous strategy, it encourages you to play to the short term. Now this might not seem bad at first (since you are getting the closes) but there are many flaws in playing for the short term. As with many of my posts I will use something other than women to demonstrate this.
Someone who starts playing basketball might think the best shot is the one that goes in. Maybe they are a little weak and therefore shoot flat to get the distance, while this is good at the time it is teaching them bad technique that will later cause them to re-learn to accommodate for a higher level. The same is true for PUA.
This is where you need to become indifferent to the closes! Now I know I normally waffle on about how you should care about what happens this is slightly different, I still think that when you open you should genuinely have an interest but I also feel you should be indifferent to the outcome.
Closes are (as i said earlier) the aim of most peoples game. Hell, its what everyone really wants. But here is the thing, people can easily get wrapped up in getting closes that all that matters to them is the lay. Sound similar to needy behaviour? It should. It is very easy to get fixated on results and completely forget all the fun that can be had before.
If your focus is all on closing then your going to be living in your head trying to work out how to get it rather than just enjoying the process. If you feel great you will enjoy yourself, if your stressed and unhappy you will get rejected. I hope you can all work out which category you will fall under if your worried about closing from the word go
So what do I suggest? Become indifferent to the outcome, not the person. I know this sounds along the lines of "its not the destination its the journey" but in my opinion its true. Once you start aiming to have a great time in set and enjoy the interaction rather than thinking about how you can get the close things happen a hell of a lot more naturally!
So lets summarise the pro's of this indifference to the outcome:
- You don't get stressed of feel failure if you dont get a close, so you still enjoy every interaction.
- You get out your head and into the situation which WILL improve your results
- People will want to be around you more. You will be more fun and in the moment and not just looking to see what you can get. This will give you a good positive vibe that will attract everyone to you!
- because of the above and also the fundamental idea's of why indifference works, your game will improve.
That's all for now.
Until next time
