I think personally that the best way to be appealing to girls is to be yourself.

There is no need to copy, model or act like someone. "It works for them, why wouldn't it work for me?" regular Joe would ask. I say find yourself and stick to it. And soon, you will find that you have "it" too. Best way to be alpha is to stop trying. Find yourself and stick to it. Fame, good looks, big bank account... it triggers pre-wired attraction switches in women. Confidence, good posture, sense of humor does it too. And its much easier to achieve. Also, today, in modern age, nothing is impossible.

By coping someone else, you are just being insecure. It signals that you think that the model is better than you. And this is my core belief; everyone is equal.
Much better is to create "ideal yourself" in your mind. That way you'll copy yourself - and that is what you want to achieve. Just ask "What would my ideal self do?" and you will get the right answer. As soon you understand how social dynamics works, there is no way to miss it.*

I have been better with women three months ago. Why? Because I started copying someone else's style. I was good; I just didn't read the IOI's, didn't know that it IS working. My life is full - use it. Now I am starting the phase three on my quest; FINDING MYSELF AGAIN.

Copy yourself.

*for understanding it, read the prologue in Double Your Dating, Venusian Artist's handbook or any other. Even The Game will do.

Carpe Diem.

Paeter,

I think your theory is partially correct.

I say partially because,

Some people dont' have enough life experience to have an interesting "self" . These people need to broaden themselves so that being themselves carries with it natural DHV's.

I have a friend participating in a course by a famous PUA guru and he's being instructed to do all kinds of things that "seem" to have nothing to do with pickup (i.e. go and pick up trash on the beach). But what's actually happening is that he's gaining self confidence, pride, and a nice DHV story that is true therefore sincere,therefore more valuable than Cube etc.

Take a comedy class, a improv class. Become a better SELF if you think yours needs it. I finally figured out that my ability to cook gourmet quality meals was a huge DHV but I had to find ways to demonstrate this without looking to AFC.

I do believe that MOST people have things about themselves that if others knew would be DHV but they just haven't taken the time to self analyze and figure out what they are. For the rest get out their and find out what you like and are interested in (besides HBs) and broaden yourself. you will benefit GLOBALLY in your life rather than memorizing one of Style's routines and regurgitating it. ( I too do this when I'm stumped but it should be the exception rather than the rule).

Just my .02

Cutter, I believe you got a point there. There is no use in being yourself if your true self is boring to death. You have to have at least as interesting life as the HB. Or make her teach you something, make them improve you.

Life experience is crucial here. But don't think that HB's have loads of life experience either. I mean, they probably have more experience in blowing off guys and in dating than every beginner. So it is impossible going out after reading couple of dating books and full closing Paris Hilton immediately.

What I meant is that it's stupid to ruin your style just to be like someone else, especially when your style just didn't evolve enough yet. But many of us have great lives, which can be used for seduction effectively and more effectively than copied lives of someone else. Make your style and stick to it.

Carpe Diem.

PS: Today I discovered how to avoid coming off cheap and manipulative in cold readings. Simply tell the chick what "that" means. 4xmpl, with The Cube if she says "the cube is big and empty" and you say "well, you have a big ego but there is an emptiness in your heart" this will sound cheap and fake. BUT, if you say "The Cube symbolizes your view of yourself; you think highly of yourself (never say she is high-headed) but also feel unfulfilled" that will come off much better. She will think that she can learn something from you.

I think you get it. BTW I do the cube precisely the way you described it the 2nd time.

Later,
