Rapid Escalation

I had just finished my grocery shopping and was pushing my trolley to my car when I saw a tall brunette walking towards me. Strange, I thought, as I had seen her in the carpark earlier.

“Hi!” she said. Then I saw her clipboard and realized what was up. She was some kind of sales girl. A car saleswoman, it seemed

“Do you drive?” she asked.

“Yeah…”

“When was the last time you had your car serviced?”

“3 days ago…” I replied, seeing the potential to have fun with it.

I like hearing people’s sales pitches, because it’s fun for me to fuck with them since I know I’m not going to sign up, and it’s good training for them to learn objection handling. So I decided to play along.

“What did they do during your last service?”

“They installed a back scratcher. It’s voice automated. It scratches my back for free.”

“Wow cool! And how much did you pay for that?”

“Nothing…”

“Nothing?”

“Well… I just took a gun into the mechanic, held it to his head and told him that he better fix my car or there’d be trouble” I explained casually.

“Awesome!” she replied grinning, without missing a beat. “We do something very similar.”

“You use a gun?” I asked, incredulous.

Girls with guns are kinda hot…

“Yeah! Uh… I mean…um…”

“What kind of gun?”

“Uhh a…um…” She paused, tried to think of a witty comeback, and couldn’t think of anything so just sidestepped that one entirely.

“Anyway… this is what we’re doing…” and she went on to explain the deal they were giving.

She went through the benefits and concluded with “So it’s a free service worth $980!”

“Cool. So whys it say $189 right there…”

“Oh well the service is free but you still have to pay for the parts…but you’re saving money!”

“Ok. I don’t have any money anyway… I spent it all on heroin.”

“Cool! Can I have some?”

“Sure. Get in my car and come to my place right now, we’ll go shoot up.”

“Ok!” she says, and starts walking to the passenger door. She stops just before getting in and says “Just kidding!”

She walks off, and I call out “Hey if you actually want a lift somewhere I can give you one…” I wasn’t that attracted to her but I appreciated that she joked along.

Her manager appeared in a suit from behind a pillar and gave me a ‘get away from my salesgirl you creep’ stare.

“I’m not leaving till I make this last sale!” she said, and I yelled back “That’s the winners attitude that will make you a success!” and drove off into the sunset (moonlight).

With her attitude and drive, she’s bound for piles and piles of money:

This little exchange is just one example of the regular stimulating, creative and playful conversations I have with the people I meet as I go about my day.

It’s a sharp contrast with guys who want to learn how to seduce women and be respected by the people they meet (i.e. how to be charming) but who don’t actually spend much time practicing or doing it.

When I first found out about the seduction community I bought into the myth that you can just whip out your seduction skills on Friday and Saturday night and not have to worry about it for the rest of the week, like it was some kind of ‘skillset’ that you deploy. This approach to seduction is fake, requires you to put on a false social mask and has a negative impact on your results: people can sense when you’re putting on a front.

The reality is that seduction is something you ARE, not something you do. Likewise, having an easygoing, charming personality and being relaxed to have stimulating interactions with strangers becomes so much easier when you chose to make it part of your everyday life. When you’re living it, it flows as a natural expression of your personality.

I wasn’t always that relaxed talking to strangers. I started small, making a goal to talk to one new person (guy or girl) on the train every day on the way to uni. This allowed me to be comfortable interacting with strangers and opened up the path to me being a whole lot more relaxed as I go about my day.
Make it your mission to share a joke with one new person every time you leave the house, or to make a stranger smile. It will sow the seeds that will allow you to relax when meeting strangers, and make every day of your life about having fun instead of feeling awkward in social situations.

The flow on effect of this to seduction is obvious: if you’re constantly training yourself to be a charming, relaxed person and have fun as you go about your day, approaching women and getting to know them is going to become much, much easier.
