Well, from what I hear it won't work if you apply it in the field and will only make you look weird
I know nothing about NLP, but I have read that the OMS is completely useless unless you have many years of NLP experience (essentially, it will only work if you are an NLP expert and understand exactly how to perform it)
Naw, that's not true; it's like saying you need to understand how a gun operates to shoot somebody.
Sure, it really helps but it isn't necessary.
And as for 'applying it in the field' and looking weird - well, yes and no. Yeah, it's unusual and if you're not competant then you'll come across like a twit. And it's not something that you should really try to do in a nightclub or anything... it's a 'let's do this cool thing now we're hanging out as buddies' type of sequence.
But everyone that says 'you need a bazillion years of NLP experience to work it' and 'it wont work anyway'. Or 'you'll look weird and people hate weird people, even if it's weird in a strangely facinating way' are projecting their own insecurity, misunderstanding and incompetance. Although most of the time the people that are most against the OMS, language patterns and speed seduction in general simply don't want other people to know about them.
