Pastiche Mentality

Taken from Louis & Copeland's Mastery Program.

This is by far the most COMPLETE dating system out there that I've come across. Going through the program, I realized how simple and effectively it was delivered. Now, the mere fact that I've read a ton means I didn't really learn much of anything new from it... but it DID help me pinpoint a few things I'd been overlooking that I'd realized I've been a dumbass about.

Great production and presentation. All of Louis & Copeland's products are top-notch. I even got a good kick in the butt by their "Nice Guy Syndrome" program. I realized several months ago that my flakiness and pushing women away coz I didn't wanna hurt them was inadvertently hurting them anyway! So it was just me being stupid. Instead of being a "Hard to Get" guy, I've been "Impossible to Get." Like my good buddy Khiem (ITotem) keeps telling me, "MAKE YOURSELF ATTAINABLE!"

These guys have managed to stay so well out of all the community dogma that people haven't really ever heard of them. Their simplicity and attachment to the fundamental truths is what makes them direct to me.

This is all that any program out there is (or should be) about:

The three prongs to the Mastery Program

1. Learning to get lots of women in front of you, so you have a lot of women to work with.
2. Learning the technology of talking to women, so you know what to say and what to do.
3. Getting past the problems and trouble that will inevitably crop up, both in you and in the world around you.

VERY similar to what I've learned from comecuca about simply being comfortable approaching and then being comfortable being with women.

And now, the Harsh Realities from Day 2 of The Mastery Program.

Frustration

* Frustration will try to stop you.
* When you deal with women there will be frustration, and you must learn to handle it.
* Learn to handle unfairness and frustration.
* If you are used to figuring it all out and having things instantly work, you have a problem, because that won't work with women, and will drive them away. You must get used to frustration or you'll never get women.
* If you are used to throwing a tantrum when things are frustrating and having people "hop to," you'll have to let that go, because it won't work with women.

Perfectionism

* Along with frustration, perfectionism will get in the way of getting women.
* Perfectionism will stop you from taking action. If everything has to be perfect before you will take action to pursue women, you will never pursue women, or do it so slowly as to be essentially ineffective.
* You must take the approach of "ready, fire, aim." Do the homework, take action, and learn from your mistakes.

The "Problem"

Every guy has a problem, and he thinks his problem is the worst in the world. You'll think your problem is special, and knocks you out of being able to pursue women. Thinking this is normal.

Possible problems:

* You're too old
* You're divorced
* You have kids
* You live in New York City
* You live in a small town
* You want kinky sex

...all these problems are normal. The program will help you deal with them.

The Numbers Game

Dating is frustrating because, statistically, the next thing you do with a woman will probably fail. That's why you have to have a lot of different approaches and try a lot of stuff. You need to be like Han Solo: "Never tell me the odds!" The odds stop mattering when you have enough women in your system. If you keep your numbers high enough, odds don't matter. That's the purpose of prong one of the program, "Learning to get lots of women in front of you, so you have a lot of women to work with."

Phases

Don't be surprised when your dating goes through phases, or waves. For instance you may go through a phase of women never calling back, then a phase of women calling a lot, a phase of being rejected by everyone, a phase of having success with lots of women in a row, every women you meet being blonde, or a teacher, and so on. The good news is, phases can work in your favor; sometimes you'll be on a wave of great successes that you can ride. The point is, you shouldn't be surprised that dating comes in phases, or waves.

I will be updating my links soon to accommodate for these guys and the reduction of material that I currently stick to. Less reading. More DOING!
