Holy fuck I don’t know how I found this but I did! Lol

Don’t know how they let this air (don’t think they'd ever let something like that air in U.S. today especially); the back story of this was that Affleck starred in like a huge flop of a movie and wasn’t eager about talking about it… so he fooled around with the reporter instead.

What do you guys think of his game? Haha

With high status, you can get away with a lot, even things that are not socially savvy. I think the girl loved it, and she is hot.

Hopefully, he got her back to his place after the interview.

So, yeah, his game wasn't that great, but he's built up such a high status through acting/celebrity that it doesn't hurt and can get away with it.

Gem, this guys game reminds me a lot of my own recently and quite frankly I think some of the shit he said was pretty funny. Cool how he was able to avoid any interview questions at all whatsoever and just talk shit the whole time... pretty lame TV bit but fun to watch I guess.

Pinot I'm curious as to why you didn't think his game was that great? I assume because all he did was make her laugh the whole time and she didn't do much conversationally to contribute and it appears he's being an "entertainer". However I beg to differ.

He wasn't saying that stuff to get a reaction out of her but simply because he thought it was funny. He was amusing himself.

She doesn't contribute at all conversationally but she does reciprocate his touch and more so to the point she can't keep her hands off him.

I think he easily could've pulled as soon as the camera quit recording.

Yall's thoughts?

I haven't seen it all and didn't have sound, but I noticed right away:

1. Very high confidence. Doesn't give a damn about what the girl thinks, doesn't give a damn about cameras, doesn't give a damn about what other people think
2. Get physical fast. Touching, physical dominance
3. I have no idea what he was saying (no audio), but it IMO doesn't matter at all. Stupid or smart, she was amused enough. It's the attitude, its the body language, its not really the words
4. He wants to do what he wants to do, and he's gonna do it regardless what she thinks or says. And she loved it
5. With that attitude, even if she rejected him he could have easily walked away and still be a winner. He could have grabbed another girl one minute later because he just doesn't give a damn. Did the girl walk away from him easily? She may have, but many won't
6. Does he lift weights? Damn right he does, and that is no coincidence
7. Not sure if he was just natural/sober, or under influence of some substance? If natural that was really good

Personally I think this game is great but you have to adjust your attitude to that particular girl, unless you are famous like Affleck or she already knows you for some time. With a new girl you have to start with low energy and gradually develop that excitement/attitude, otherwise you will look like a fool. If you have enough confidence and get physical fast, you don't even have to get into that kind of excited state...

Haha, wonderful mixture of roleplaying and chase framing around the 5-minute mark right near the end. The imitation of her accent is something I do as well with girls who are being very open / playful / flirty... gets them giggling like schoolgirls and really ratchets up the vibe.

The physical dominance of course is great, as Drck notes.

The big slip I see here was when he starts asking her what other people in Quebec thought about something (was that the film?) and what her friends thought. He's accidentally dialing the vibe down from personal to impersonal here and moving backwards. She tries to fight the vibe being cooled off by telling him "Like you care about that", which is a strong clue for him to abort this vibe-killing talk and take things more personal again, but he keeps going and she cools off enough to get off his lap.

He gets her back on his lap again, but she is cooling off (if still warm), and saying things like, "I don't know," in a more withdrawing and less submissive way. He still might've pulled it off after the interview, but it'd be more of a sure thing if he didn't have that buzz kill happen.

Great find, Gem.

Glad many liked this one; I thought his interaction was hilarious (laughed through the whole thing) but every bit of effective as it was funny.

One of the biggest things that stuck out to me and that I felt was learned by me from this was how far he goes with his escalation and fooling around while being in public atmosphere (like where he chooses to draw the line so that it’s socially acceptable still and not crossing the line). He hugs her and tickles her and massively flirts but doesn’t kiss her or touch any naughty parts and stuff… could he have kissed her face or neck or done anything else? I’m not sure… but my guess would be that that’s where he was drawing the line while on camera and there with others and stuff.

Also, I was sort of guessing that he had potentially already nailed her (or at least knew her from before; felt like he addressed her somewhere like he had known her from prior… it’d be possible no?)

How Much Did Status Help?

My personal theory is that fame would probably work as a plus but wouldn’t necessarily be the be all end all thing that gets him the lay (just as how money or looks wouldn’t be; status would be just another thing that helps but not worth anything extremely significant without the fundamentals behind it).

I can think of a few stars/famous guys with high status and fame who would be considered not so good with women because of lacking fundamentals.

One guy that comes to mind is Arnold Schwarzenegger … who I look up to because of his work ethic and all he’s endeavored to achieve; but I remember when the scandal about his love child had happened a bunch of women came out saying how he had tried to progress with them but fucked up and had it not work because of bad fundamentals (and trying to get women with wealth and nice body minus the fundamentals).

This would be different from Tiger Woods who the women came out and later talked about but who got to consensually fuck the whole softball team count of them... he had the fundamentals so he got the tail.

Seduction in Relation to Jazz Musicianship and Improvisation

A couple years back I was really into jazz musicianship and learned a lot from really endeavoring to master jazz trombone and with my experiences with other musicians.

Jazz musicians improvise which is creating new music on the spot.

Improvisation becomes the fourth stage of competence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence and I believe that typically most skills can be ultimately mastered and performed at this elite unconscious level (in seduction in would be becoming an advanced natural who no longer has to think and only games and gets laid naturally).

To learn to improvise took years and years. First you would have to go and technically learn the ins and outs of your instrument get down tonality and pitch and range and sound dynamics. You’d have to learn and master your instrument and in addition know music and know it well. You’d have to be able to sight read fluidly and rapidly know all of your scales and modes and other jazz standard tunes and store the bulk of them in your working memory.

In addition to this you would study and listen to other jazz musicians of history and listen to how they play and improvise and their style (this is all before you’ve even improvised).

Each jazz musician had a unique style; there were many musicians and many eras … but all were different and all had been influenced by their own myriad of sources and influences. They would all be completely different often radically different in how they sounded… Only after doing all this could you eventually become a true natural a true jazz musician and truly improvise and have that unconscious artistic creation (become an advanced natural).

If Fundamentals and End Result Are Good: It Works

Though the musicians were all different, they’d all achieve a common beginning and end with their playing: they were technical masters of music and of their instrument and could play written (unimprovised) material impeccably and masterfully. And they would each create a cogent and poetic musical solo/statement that could be reveled and respected by whoever would listen (even though their styles were vastly different).

There was also a skill/phenomenon called playing out where you would play notes that are out of key and don’t fit and sound bad and incorrect by ear. But because it was still technically perfect (as in quality from instrument and achieved the end of enticing and gaining the satisfaction of the listener) it fit and it worked.

I realized that seduction is the same way.

Everyone has their own styles and you can gain influences from different styles and after years of going out you discover your own unique style (that will even then be sort of dynamic and never truly fixed) influenced by all those you had studied and seen.

You could play out in seduction too and it wouldn’t matter too… routines, the silly scripted crap of The Game and any of the other guys with weird uncalibrated looking game … if the beginning and end were good they were good… if their fundamentals were good and they got laid in the end then it all worked out and they could play out throughout the middle and have it fit dissonantly but beautifully, pleasing against everything saying that it shouldn’t theoretically be.

I think Chase was a good teacher for each of with this site because he saw to it that we learned all of our fundamentals and sought to teach those first…

And I think he’s admitted as much that he sort of expects that from the formative years on, each of the guys’ unique natural styles will start to come out and that’s what the end goal for those learning is (kind of like a mother bird that teaches the babies the ropes and how to eat and walk and stuff and then eventually kicks them off and lets them fly free on their own and in their own way).

When I see a style that seems weird or stupid or foreign to me now… I look and see “ok well are his fundamentals good, can he keep eye contact with the girl, and does he seem dominant?"…. And second, “is he getting laid, will he get the lay?”

That’s it; different styles are cool then to observe because you can learn from them, gain some influence from each of them, and have them contribute to your own unique style once it does eventually begin to come through.

Yeah, all I really meant about social status here was the public interview setting.

I think it would be difficult for a guy with lower or equal status to do what he did here during a public interview. For example, if a female reporter is just interviewing random people about the upcoming election and you don't have a higher status or perceived higher status (sexy foreigner) than her, then I think it would be difficult to run your game like Mr. Affleck here because it would jeopardize her job and potentially lower her status.

In this situation, being shown in a public interview with a guy higher status than herself actually increases her status. Also, it's more fun and exciting if she's never been with a guy that has higher status than herself.

Also, with lower or equal status, you'll need to do more warming up if this isn't an interview and around other people (at a bar/club). You can get away with cutting out a lot of the fat when you have a higher status and can skip a few initial steps.

When you're alone and one-on-one with a girl OR you've gotten her to agree to sit in your lap, she's already accepted some pretty big amount of compliance, so then you can also do what Mr. Affleck does here pretty easily without being higher status.

LOL!

Just to add something about Arnold Schwarzenegger, since most are already bored with his success as a body builder, movie star, millionaire and polititian:


Arnold also had a quite appetite for women. His former collegues in body building said about him that he could have had sex even 5 times a day.

He's been intangled in many sexual misconduct allegations and rumors of infidelity. He admitted having multiple affairs, even while married.

Here are some of his quotes - most from his 1977 interview:
* “I get laid on purpose. I can’t sleep before a competition and I’m up all night, anyway, so instead of staring at the ceiling I figure I might as well find somebody and fuck.”
* “Having chicks around is the kind of thing that breaks up the intense training. It gives you relief, and then afterward you go back to the serious stuff.”
* “I can look at a chick who’s a little out of shape and if she turns me on, I won’t hesitate to date her. If she’s a good fuck, she can weigh 150 pounds, I don’t care.”
* “I learned my lesson. I had several harassment lessons … I know now what can be said and what can’t be said … Now I would not even tell someone I like their outfit. It could go south.”

Note that he's talking about having chicks around and having sex as if it was so casual like having a piece of meal for lunch. Note that he did HARD/SERIOUS work - and girls were only a relief in between. That was all BEFORE he became famous actor...

Looking at the above, most likely no one else than Arnold knows how many women he nailed, but my impression is that he was getting laid quite frequently in his 20's and 30's. I wouldn't be surpriced if he was getting laid several times per week while at body building business, and yes - each time with different girl.

Given that at that time (talking about 70's and 80's) was no internet nor seduction material available, I think that Arnold was quite successful seducer. Personally I believe that he was able to nail several women every month, if not every week. IMO it is quite difficult to find such performance today, even with the best available seduction knowledge and sharing of experience...

Arnold would probably laugh at the seduction material back in 70's, maybe even today. What for would he need seduction material if he could get laid easily without it? I'll say it again: too many guys underestimate something so simple but at the same time so powerful seduction tool called weight lifting. The sad thing is, they won't even understand it until they actually start lifting weights...

Hey Pinot, true good point! You know I'm probably wrong with that too, and what you mention about status may have greater power than I know about (or that I could imagine at least).

Hollywood and fame and stardom are a world away that I know nothing about; I think about it more now (what you said earlier) and you know it's really freaking possible that famous guys can have shit game and just get groupies and get laid anyway.

They could get all the money and food and material stuff they want... perhaps pussy would be just as easy as well then huh? Perhaps...

LOL!

Hey Drck, damn! I didn't really know that or think about/consider that; it's a poor example from my end forgive me for that (lot of other people who would make a better example, and not one that I could have surely remarked as much as others)...

What you say is true kind of makes me put my foot in my mouth... and reminds me of this clip of Arnold haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVCfDioTcY

Why he had come to mind though (I should mention) is because I remember thinking you know "he's so badass and accomplished and good at lifting and business and did his movie stint too, he must be good with girls"... but when his scandal came up I remember a couple of women (I think like reporters or something) came out saying he had sexually harassed them and stuff...

There was that, and also his maid that he banged was really ugly and stuff too lol; but it's possible that he was just really sprung all the time, and one of those quantity over quality type guys I guess ...?

Sorry for making a suggestion/claim that I wasn't truly sure of the validity of ! Ha

That's Actually interesting point. Once you nail more girls you stop worrying much about looks, meaning that pretty girl is always pretty girl, but those who are not that great looking are good enough. You no longer have that mentality of getting the best girls out there.

Weight lifting (no, not talking about 20 pound pinky dumbbells, those are for pussies! I'm talking about 200-300 pounds on your back, doing 50-60 squats in series!) the right way gets you horny. It pumps your testosterone and adrenaline up, it raises endorphins levels, it gets you naturally to elated state, which basically means your confidence shoots up. With different level of confidence your personality changes.

The whole attitude just changes, everything changes. No longer it is "how do I approach her the right way, and how do I project confidence so she can type her number in my phone", but rather "damn, I just can't get my hands off of those girls!"

Said differently, no longer you are a self-pity victimized pussy, but you turn into a man...

Gem,

Yep, that's pretty much exactly it. Some of them have very good "flirty" game (as evidenced by Ben Affleck's somewhat goofy, but effective, approach here), but most of the very well known ones can pretty much forgo the usual tactics and techniques a random stranger would need to use to bed a woman. If you want an example of what a famous actor's "texting" game looks like, then check out James Franco's attempt to sleep with a teenager over Instagram.

As you can see, he doesn't really attempt to do any connection-building with the girl because he knows his fame and stardom pretty much gets him laid on the spot. On the bright side, his supreme amount of abundance allows him to exit the situation (not very gracefully in this example) when things aren't going the way he wants them to!

It was pretty obvious the girl would have totally slept with him if it wasn't for her own bad logistics. If you read the article, you can see that she was on vacation in NYC with her mom. But anyway, that's about all the effort most actors have to put in to get laid, so they never really need to experience the constant rejection that most guys receive when learning (which also helps guys grow).

EDIT: As an FYI, I am actually pretty close friends with a stripper who works in Vegas. She's come down here before with all of her co-workers, and one of the topics that had come up was how many different famous DJs, actors, and other celebrities they had fucked (and some were still fucking on the side). One of the girls had mentioned that she had sex with both George Lopez and Justin Bieber. And she was also regularly hooking up with DJ Quintino (you can Google him) and was actually texting him while this conversation was going on. Famous people get around!

Franco that's fascinating!!

Interesting also about James Franco; I have a friend at UCLA who had told me James Franco was teaching at UCLA last year: http://www.laweekly.com/publicspectacle ... play-class

Probably couldn't be that forward as a professor though... ? ;)

James Franco was forward, but he never said anything mean or anything that I thought crossed the line. It was just pretty much, "Hey, let's meet up" and kept persisting on that.

I think it's ridiculous when actors have to apologize for being straight males pretty much.

It reminds me of when Jack Nicholson got all of this beef for asking out Nicole Kidman. All he did was pretty much say, "Hey, you're hot. Want to go on a date?" He didn't know she was married to Keith Urban and got lampooned in the press/media about it, and of course lampooned by feminazis. Then had to apologize for pretty much being a straight male and asking an attractive woman out... really?

Oh well.

But yeah, it's interesting to see how celebrities flirt with women and hear stories about it. It's pretty much straight to the point. If they applied the same amount of effort as guys here, it almost makes it seem like they're doing more work, instead of law of least effort. They just cut that crap out.

Another interesting one is Topher Grace or Tobey Maguire. I forget which one said this, but it was on Conan. Pretty much they would just ask random women to come back to their place and play board games. This way they couldn't get lampooned in the media for asking a girl to play board games. And if they did come over, it would just be easy street from there.
