Good inner game I think can govern some of body language... Like when walking with a girl, how jerky are you, how much do you face her, how you look at her in response to her words, eye contact usage, do you have approval seeking needy quirks like nodding a lot, and every part of how you touch her...

Communicating moment to moment really... Also how you stand on the approach or sit on a date... micro escalation is all body language, etc.
Yes. Good inner game helps cuz at times our emotions slips can through our body language when sometimes unexpected things happen.

And nothing is more creepier than touching a girl while making weird and scared face and with lot of hesitation. Even, Creepy approaches are like this.

Respectfully Skill and Will is correct here:
I've never seen a natural seducer who didn't have top body language passively, and more importantly great body language in when under pressure. They also need to actually approach aswell, but the great body language is a crucial part of being a natural.
It's relaxed, fluid, lacking in tension and is unreactive - even under pressure or in a tense situation.

Any other guy that I know (non-naturals) that does well seducing women has very good body language (perhaps not the best, but very good calm fluid body language).

The only people I've seen do well with average body language are extremely good looking men, but they didn't do better than guys with better body language around them (who are less attractive).
I think good looking men's non-exceptional body language is what stops them approaching and doing well with women or is simply a result of not approaching (the chicken or the egg).

When I go to a club, and I want to see who my (potential) competition is, I look for:

1. Who has the best body langauge (and are they approaching)?

2. Who is physically good looking (without good body langauge) and are they approaching?

3. Who are men (and women) positioning their body towards? Are they one of the people above or do they have something else these people want?

That's it. You don't need to know who the men of status are or who has what or wearing what - it's those factors which you can see fairly quickly in any venue to see what the landscape will be.

This is why women in nighttime venues see you and notice you long before you've approached her - she's seen your body language and how people respond to you and how your body language responds to them and has already assessed your social value from this.
Women are scanning these venues for the above, and much more, constantly in clubs and even at work, school, events, etc.

When I see any group of men now, I can pick out the one who is the leader, who's been successful seducing women (not usually the same guy) - it's very clear to me now from a small amount of observation.



I think this has happened to seduction, even here, where guys forget what's useful and important in seduction because it becomes less spoken about or is dismissed because it's not being said anymore.

I've been looking through the old archives of masf and other seduction forums and there's so much value in what those guys were saying, that nobody talks about anymore in the seduction industry. Those guys figured out alot about seduction and women that solves alot of seduction issues that guys are even having on this forum.



"Looksmaxxing" is purely motivated by men doing poorly in dating apps and deciding to (try to) get extremely good looking, rather than upskill themselves, fix their body language and cold approach.

There's another user on here, who is clearly black pill, who's constant reframe is "only good looking men do well with women" - it's dead giveaway that they never cold approach and haven't in a long time and solely rely on dating apps to meet women, no matter how much they protest that they approach.



Exactly. I think @Skills - you thought we meant "good posture" by good body language, that's not the case. It's relaxed, calm, fluid, un-reactive body language (especially under tension filled situations).



I see hygiene as just another sensory factor in body language - a man's smell communicates alot of information to people around him, including health and testosterone levels (to women) in a passive way, whether people are conscious of it or not.
So, this is just 'body language by smell' essentially.



I think dance is as an active form of body language, Aaron Sleazy did the same and I use it in clubs aswell.
Women like men who dance well because it's an active form of body language.

Women say that dancing is about how good he is in bed, this is a lie. Women won't be logically aware that they're noticing great body language through dancing, which leads them to being attracted to his fluid relaxed movements. That doesn't register consciously with women, but they feel it.

Women seeing us interacting with other people and women in clubs and our body language in response to those people = Another Active form of Body language that people observe (like dancing).

I think women know they get a better sense of a man when they see his "Active forms of body language" rather than only his passive forms of body language (seeing a man only walking or standing by himself).

I think women see men with great body language but reserve their judgement of him and his value until they see a consistant active form of his body language as a baseline.

I think actors, in many ways, perform an active form of body language which they use to gain status. I suspect it's why so many former theatre kids and former trained actors become so powerful outside the entertainment industry later in life.


The point is: relaxed body language is a huge rate-limiter and determination of success in seduction. Many men have forgotten this because women aren't actually seeing their body language because they're only seeing their photos on dating profiles.
Men don't understand this for the same reason.


Many women I've met instictively understand this and have met good looking men from apps and realised how awkward or weird these men are in person, because this is her first time observing his body language (on the first date from the app).
yeah i think i am confusing posture with body language...

This reporter is known for interesting on-the-ground interviews, kind of like Vice used to.

They mention The Game in the intro.

Guys just saw this video on this dude:

- got ear and nose surgury to go to France (@Teevster domain)
- since nobody knows who he is in france he tried cold approaching
- he started telling during the cold approach, french women that he is a famous streamer
- he during the cold approach started pulling his tshirt sleeves so they can see his muscles
- 0 success in cold approach could not even hook...
- telling women he is sleeping with he still clamedia
- got rejected cold approaching about 8 hours straight (brutal)

Again guys i am pro lookmaxing ( i write a look maxing post a month on average) and i am trying my best to look max myself, but this is what i am talking about the fallacy of success an amazing looking guy that sucks at social skills, now if he would kill his approach anxiety, learn basic social skills, he would be good as fuck...... But it has always been like this with the black pillers they totally suck if the women does not do all the work and they get lucky, this video is perfect sample (watch the video, see his cold approach):

I couldn’t sit through to much of the video streamers are sorta boring but it is interesting. I’m more interested to see how Clav is doing in ten or fifteen years.

I think people forget that him walking around and having to record himself is technically his 9-5 which is awful. Cant think of a single person who enjoys working and you can sort of tell that he isn’t enjoying his day to day *[Atleast by what I saw in the video]

I’m not sure if being a celebrity *[Exceedingly so specializing in Looks] but I did get to interact with Demi Lovato way back before Ozempic and she didn’t get much say into her life. Had those pre processed meal health things, *[Wasnt allowed to go eat at places freely like a normal person]

Let’s say that she did want to take a photo op at the place tho recorded. She would have her team make reservations and have a place where service was already ready. Clav did what Skills mentioned here;

if you are high value (money, looks etc..) but low status behaviors, you are not going to have success....(Neil mention this in the interview i posted)

I think if he had an open table got a sandwich had a coffee. *[Perhaps a bottle of Perrier to share incase he wanted to have those women at his table] then maybe had a friend or two to chat with like a normal person the approach’s at the French restaurant would’ve been fine.

With that blonde chick that was around a little later on I think he fell into the trap that a typical young person falls into now adays that Mystery used to harp on. *[Which I’ve noticed has weirdly become less important in 2026 ] and that’s the time constraint. It’s got to frame that early on in the interaction so you don’t have this awkward hour or so where you feel obligated to spend time with her.

I wonder if the popularity of these videos explains why that CNN Article I did a post on was so kind to normal guys/pua’s talking to women.

Probably not far from this:

Yeah the mental illness of these Gen Z looksmaxxing influencers is fascinating.

Clav is on the path of a psychotic breakdown. He's already fucked his body and mind with the amount of drugs he does.

Then all this terrible surgery, and livestreaming constantly with fans who roast him as he does the most cringe cold approaching ever.

And what does he do in response? He goes and trashes France on X and tells all his followers to do the same, making an entire country hate him...

Thing is, he wasn't like this 6 months ago. I sometimes watched his livestream when he first started out, he actually was pretty cool and socially savvy, just always throwing parties with lots of friends and hot girls.

I think the drugs did it. You can tell that he is a deeply unhappy person, and everything he says now is cope and superiority complex.

I'm so glad to see people discussing Clav. He popped into my notice through social media a month or so ago. It is like watching National Geographic for me. Instead of hyenas running around the savanna, it's a young man diving into so many drugs and surgeries and routines to look as good as possible.

His France trip humors me because anyone who knows European girls knows why he failed over there. Women treat masculinity far more important across the Atlantic, and Clav comes off as a boy to them.

I've watched his videos in Miami and New York, and then saw the stark difference in his videos in France. I never laughed so hard. I figure people on this forum would appreciate why he failed.

I look at american "hot women" different from overseas hot women. And let us put it into perspective, all the women he interacts with are likely local or international gold diggers. Most women that go to willingly live in Miami and New York are what I call professional whores. To them, status and money is king. Clav just has a lot going for him of not being an old fat CEO. A young kid with lots of money and fame is jackpot for most women.

Overseas, women don't live a high life like that. Masculine men is more in demand there due to less wealth and more hardships. When the women were looking at him there, they were looking at a boy. Watching the video, Clav had to compensate by touching and initiating more than he had to do in America. It was night and day. He did not have the same power in Europe as he had in America. He then gets frustrated -- like a boy -- as the women are not doing the same thing they were doing in the gold digger hangouts he was at.

A hard lesson learned. Looks is not everything. Actually, he had the wrong looks for this locale.

Yes i reached same conclusion he in America may not be getting that raw sexual desire that you get...more like transactional, let me use him for status and attention.. good observation...

Clavicular seems douche-y, his face is very unexpressive most of the time, and him going neo-direct doesn't help of course...
IRL streamers like him tend to be very off-putting to a lot of women, and for others, they're mainly there for attention, status and potential for clout when being included on stream.

I try to avoid the troublesome content creator dudes like the plague when they're livestreaming at events. Everything is ultimately just about content and monetization for them, so the more drama, the more views/virality. (I mainly go to events for a small circle and to support small businesses) It's easy to sense when something is off about these guys when you meet them in person too.

A friend introduced me to someone like him (will not name drop/share too many details, but Skills, dm me if you're curious lol). Even though he was nice, I had a very unsettled feeling about him. He was also uncalibrated and autistic so I limited any interactions with him. Later I found out he had been arrested for a fight he instigated, and apparently it was the 4th time he got arrested that year... And of course all of it was livestreamed for his views.

Those guys could definitely use your guys' coaching.

Guys. I used to work out a lot. Did it help? Ehhh... Maybe?
What I know worked FOR SURE is charm, being able to relax in any situation, and also relax about my own freaking looks. I learned this the hard way. I was knocked down in a street fight and walked around with a chipped front tooth (highly visible) for years until I could afford fixing it. Like, not "aww my tooth has a chip" no more like "Oh shit half my tooth is missing and jagged looking and full of gunk from the last hamburger I ate, cuz... jagged." This is when I noticed what actually got me laid, and ... sure looks can get you ... looks (pun intended). But that's it. Staying power is charm. Charisma. Not giving a fuck. And telling her (only half jokin): "Oh this?" (Pointing at hairy beer belly) "This is the fuel tank for the sex machine!" And look at her adorable cute laugh. And also watching fit guys go "Hey, that's not supposed to happen!" When I snatch their girl and go home with her. Also being able to escalate relentlessly, but also while reading her "yes" signals will score you magical sex points. Btw. I wanted to write a post about sex, and how to relax about your d size, or lack of a boner, cuz... Even without it you can still keep yer girl if you know what you're doing. This is more a reminder to myself. But for you: Hit the books. They're out there.

When I stared out I was super skinny and awkward looking.

Then I become really fit and good looking.

now after 20 years of doing this I’m sorta chubby from starting powerlifting and then getting an injury.

I also don’t dress anywhere near as good now.

Back when I put a lot of effort into my looks I got way more approach invites and I hooked easier.

Now I get less approach invites and I don’t hook instantly as much.

Yet my results (lays) are nearly the exact same. Why? Because I just compensate with slightly tighter game.

do what you can about looks and then stop giving a fuck.

🤦‍♀️ He would have much better luck trollmaxing & charisma-maxing like Miles Moretti..

You can tell in Miles' reels that the women are intrigued, confused but also amused by his statements but it seems to work for him, and he's hilarious and responds in a way that isn't boring or generic. He's also nonchalant and doesn't care in a cool way.

Miles' good looks help a bit of course, but the rest is his personality carrying the interactions. I could imagine folding and laughing a ton with this dude because he just seems like a good time.

Clavicular was at one of the clubs in my rotation, he was in the dj booth fucked up the whole club experience...(he was also streaming)

Basically instead of the normal club dynamics, a bunch of people just looking at the dj booth like if it was a concert....
