I read this some place. Just tought I'd share it. I know in The Game it says to try and enter a room laughing or with a smile on your face. But something else you should try and do is pause for a second with the doorway centered behind you if you can, or in the doorway itself. This way the door frame acts like a picture frame and you are the picture. In a sense you are a work of art for all the lovely ladies in the room to admire briefly as you enter. It also works with archways etc. when you're inside an establishment

Always a good tip! Celebs do this when entering a room. They stand in the doorway for a moment, as if to say I'm here, come greet me!

Nice man. I love these easily applicable tips that are able to subconciously convey higher value on your part. I'm gonna start doing this in a discrete manner (don't want to come across as overly conceited). Another great simple thing to do is look above the horizon line. Certain people will make eye contact with you and you can easily project higher value by simply looking above them without making eye contact. Obviously, if it's an HB that you want to approach, then you have to make eye contact. Also, when someone is walking your way, make sure they part to the side, NOT you. This is an incredible feeling.

All good tips. Having been an actor most of my life, I can honestly say, never underestimate the importance of a good entrance. If first impressions are key, then that first entrance is everything. In theater, they always say your first entrance should be your biggest, because you don't get a second chance to establish that first impression.

A very good friend of mine who passed away last year had a hell of a lot of social proof and was always greeted by many people when he entered any establishment, and one of the reasons he seemed so important was that whenever he walked into a place, he would stop just inside the door, taking up the entire frame, and coolly survey the entire room before starting in toward a seat. It wasn't something anyone ever really thought about, but it made unconsciously made a big impression on everyone who knew him. I'm a big people-watcher, and one day I noticed it and asked him why he always paused upon entry. An old-school actor, without hesitation, he replied, "I'm waiting for applause." I dug it. Can you imagine being a George Clooney or a Sean Connery or a Paul Newman, some sort of icon whose mere presence stirs an intense excitement, someone who inspires people to burst into cheers just by showing his face? Next time you enter a room, imagine an audience applauding just because they're so fucking psyched to have you there, psyched by all the potential that's been added just by having you in the room. You'd be surprised how encouraging that can be.

Me, I've always been a little on the dramatic side, and I like to make big entrances. One thing I can always say for myself, whether or not people are glad I'm there, I am always noticed when I walk into a room. I'm a lean, sleekly built guy, tall and thin, but I come into a room like gangbusters, bigger than life. First off, I'm usually very well dressed and I walk like I own things, and that in itself turns a lot of heads because I look like I'm important. Given the circles in which I travel, usually I know other people who are already wherever I'm arriving, so I'm warmly greeted and spend my first few minutes making the rounds. At most of the bars and restaurants where I hang, all the staffers know me, so they pass by greeting as well.

Whenever I walk into a place, I'm either flashing a wicked little grin or, like Castnett said, looking just above the common eye line with a cooler-than-ice expression, if I feel like being less approachable for some reason. If I'm with another person or a group of people, I'm laughing or am clearly heard saying something very funny upon entry.
