			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.attractioninstitute.org/inner-game/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sleazydad250109-300x295.jpg" alt="sarging and seduction community" title="sarging and seduction community" width="300" height="295" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3276" />I&#8217;m sure it seemed like the answer to your dreams:</p>
<p>A community full of guys who could teach you how to attract the women you wanted.</p>
<p>And not only that, but also how to get the happiness you wanted.</p>
<p>Those HB9&#8217;s and HB10&#8217;s who so elusively strut around the club. Finally, you&#8217;d have the answers which would mean they&#8217;re no longer out of your league.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s a few things those seduction community  gurus didn&#8217;t tell you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m not surprised, though.</strong></p>
<p>If they did, there&#8217;s no reason you&#8217;d stick around on their mailing lists, lapping up their latest must-have DVD series and killer audio books&#8230;</p>
<p>(I just went through one &#8216;guru&#8217;s&#8217; product list and there was nearly 15 items on it. That&#8217;s a whole bunch of products he has to convince you that you need to support his rockstar lifestyle.)</p>
<p>So what are these things which they don&#8217;t want you to know?</p>
<p><strong>Well, how about this one for starters:</strong></p>
<p>Not only is sarging trapping you in the merry-go-round of needing product after product, but it&#8217;s also the number reason why you&#8217;re not getting those results you so desperately want.</p>
<p>Sound strange? Well, think about it like this:</p>
<p>What is &#8220;sarging&#8221;? It&#8217;s learning how to go out and pick up women, right?</p>
<p>Therefore, whether or not you like to mention it, your success criteria for a night out sarging is:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;How many women do I pick up?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Great. Now I&#8217;m sure that you guys all know the massive negative effects that neediness has on any interaction.</p>
<p>So consider this: how are you supposed to stay non-needy when needing a woman to feel attracted to you to meet your success criteria?</p>
<p>How are you supposed to avoid the clingy-ness and desperation that comes from needing her to feel attracted to you &#8211; when the only thing you&#8217;ve gone out for is to make a woman feel attracted to you?</p>
<p>Defining the end result of seduction as your success criteria is the very thing that&#8217;s preventing you from actually seducing her.</p>
<p><strong>Sarging is making you worse with women.</strong></p>
<p>And do you wonder why you need to learn all those techniques and tactics?</p>
<p>How are you supposed to appear non-needy with that purpose without learning these &#8216;latest seduction secrets and tactics&#8217;? Easy! </p>
<p>Simply fill your head with all the actions, words and tactics you&#8217;d use if you were not needy and relying on her to finally succeed at life .</p>
<p>They have been &#8220;reverse-engineered&#8221; for you by &#8220;dating gurus&#8221; and sold as part of a DVD program. Nice.</p>
<p>Do you wonder why you need to constantly refer back to community forums so that latest seduction guru can tell you the elusive &#8216;next step&#8217;?</p>
<p>Do you wonder why you MUST HAVE that just released DVD series so you know how to apply kino whilst running shop assistant game on Thursdays, whilst executing the &#8220;moonwalk up my arse opener&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8230;whilst wearing your DHV jeans?</strong></p>
<p>Do you wonder why you&#8217;re trapped in that endless cycle of trying, failing, and then trying to get that one final piece of information that&#8217;s going to get you over the hump?</p>
<p>Because the one thing that the seduction community promised it was the answer to, is actually what it maintains.</p>
<p>The underlying issues that was preventing you from getting success with women before you found the seduction community is the one thing that the seduction community keeps on reinforcing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s reinforcing that meeting women is a complicated and tricky process that requires massive amounts of knowledge and huge amounts of experience in order to get the results you want.</p>
<p><strong>And It does!</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;When you&#8217;re trying to hide your desperate sense of neediness under layers of alpha behaviour, mindsets and routines.</p>
<p>But what if there was a better way.</p>
<p>What if, instead of clinging to women like they were your last chance at happiness and desperately trying to drag a woman into your seductive web, your took a different approach?</p>
<p>What if, you started finding your happiness away from her?</p>
<p>What if you derived your personal sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from something other than how hot your mates thought your girlfriend was?</p>
<p>What if you stood on your feet, got in touch with what you believe in, why you believe in it, and pursued it passionately?</p>
<p>Do you think people, especially powerful, confident women, would want to spend time with you?</p>
<p>Do you think you&#8217;d have to spend so much time trying to convince them to be part of your life?</p>
<p>And, most importantly, do you think you&#8217;d need to desperately try and convince them to be part of your world whilst all the time, disguising your debilitating sense of loneliness, neediness, and inadequacy?</p>
<p>If you didn&#8217;t have this underlying neediness, how many routines and structures would you have to learn to try and hide it?</p>
<p>If you were the kind of guy people wanted to be around, how much time would you have to devote to developing structures to try and convey that to people?</p>
<p>And how long do you think it would take to develop them?</p>
<p>If you lived the kind of life that people wanted to be part of, how much time would you have to devote to getting people to be part of it?</p>
<p><strong>Am I saying that you&#8217;ll be able to get every girl?</strong></p>
<p>Of course not.</p>
<p>But the ones you will get will love you for who you are. And you wont be condemning yourself to having to maintain your thin facade every time you hang out together.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not saying that the community can&#8217;t help you get women. It can, and has for a lot of guys! But what kind of women do they attract?</p>
<p>Well, if the typical guy who&#8217;s getting success through the community is the kind of guy who&#8217;s learned to hide his neediness and loneliness for long enough to trick her into sleeping with him, what kind of women would he get?</p>
<p>What kind of woman do you think would overlook his lies for long enough to give herself to him?</p>
<p>Do you think she&#8217;d be a powerful, strong woman who had high self esteem and lived an exciting life? Or do you think she&#8217;d be lonely, unsure, and self-conscious, not believing that she was worth any better?</p>
<p>Hmm&#8230;</p>
<p>What kind of women do you want to attract into your life?</p>
<p>And how easy and quick do you want to make that process?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.attractioninstitute.org/inner-game/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mbtoolbox-619-image.jpg" alt="meeting women on the beach" title="meeting women on the beach" width="250" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3048" />Long tanned legs? Check.</p>
<p>The tiniest black shorts you&#8217;ve ever seen?  Check.</p>
<p>Beautiful dark hair? Check.</p>
<p>We could have a winner here&#8230; But I wonder what she looks like from the front?</p>
<p>Check :-) </p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t head out today with a plan of meeting women  but sometimes, it just happens by accident.</p>
<p>All I wanted to do was sit quietly on the beach and read for a while but when I got there, I had a feeling that it was going to be a little different.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d forgotten just how amazing the view across the beach is. Especially when it&#8217;s 28 degrees and all the lovely little backpackers have decided it&#8217;s a good day to work on their tans.</p>
<p>Standing at the top of the stairs, listening to the waves break against the shore in the baking hot sun, all I could see was bare skin for miles in both directions.</p>
<p><strong>Yes, it was a good day.</strong></p>
<p>I choose a spot in between two groups of perfectly formed curves and started trying to read. That lasted about 30 seconds.</p>
<p>At first, all I saw were her calves,: tanned, tight, this could be interesting.</p>
<p>Then it was her perfectly formed arse, barely covered by her tiny little shorts. Yes, definitely interested.</p>
<p>As she sat herself down 3 meters in front of me and slid her shirt off over her tight little frame, I could feel my body definitely getting interested. </p>
<p>I was halfway through a paragraph so I went back to reading. But that only lasted another 30 seconds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you want to go on a cruise on Thursday night?&#8221; It was the most nasal, whining English accent I&#8217;d heard in days. Thank God he wasn&#8217;t talking to me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Umm.. . no thanks.&#8221; It turns out little miss black shorts has an Aussie accent.</p>
<p>Apparently it&#8217;s not uncommon for backpackers to try and sell parties up and down the beach, because it didn&#8217;t take a minute for another one to turn up.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Have you heard of this party?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No thanks&#8230;&#8221; She politely said.</p>
<p>That was my queue to step in &#8220;Wow&#8230; Aren&#8217;t you little miss popular today. I&#8217;ve been here twice as long and no-one&#8217;s bothered to talk to me yet.&#8221;</p>
<p>She dropped her head phones out of her ears and we just went from there.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t remember exactly what we said but we must have chatted for about an hour.</p>
<p><strong>If you went back and analysed it, it would&#8217;ve read like a textbook &#8217;sarge&#8217;.</strong></p>
<p>I started talking to her about something in the environment (situational opener), teased her  a bit (push / pull), told some stories (DHV) found out some things about her that I liked (qualified) and then told her that I liked them (SOI)&#8230;</p>
<p>We got to know each other for a while (rapport), and then before I left, I got her phone number (closed).</p>
<p>But, was any of this, at any point in time, intentional? Of course not. It was the product of something very simple and very powerful.</p>
<p> I started talking to her because I saw something and wanted to comment on it. So I did.</p>
<p><strong>I teased her and played around because I was in a playful mood.</strong></p>
<p>I told some stories because I was just sharing what was on my mind. I talk very passionately about what I do because I&#8217;m passionate about what I do. She found that interesting.</p>
<p>I was interesting in finding out if she&#8217;s the kind of person that I want to have in my life. So I asked her about the things she has in her life to find out.</p>
<p>When she said things that I liked, I told her that I liked them because that&#8217;s what I was thinking.</p>
<p>I wanted to see her again and needed a way to get back in contact with her, so I asked her for her number.</p>
<p>If at any point in time, it looked like she wasn&#8217;t the kind of person I wanted in my life then the conversation would&#8217;ve ended as continuing wouldn&#8217;t have been necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Everything I did was because I was happy, carefree, knew what I wanted in my life, and was looking for it.</strong></p>
<p>Simple.</p>
<p>I spoke to her because I there was something I wanted to talk about and I wasn&#8217;t all caught up in my head trying to work out how to impress her with some fancy line or follow some kind of structure.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say it.</p>
<p>If she wasn&#8217;t playful, I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered finding out more things about her. If she hadn&#8217;t talked about things I liked then I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered telling her that I liked them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking at this game as a series of steps that you have to go through then you&#8217;re condemning yourself to having to try and remember step after step after step.</p>
<p>If you take responsibility for your own happiness, make your life the way you want it to be, and actively seek the things you want, then you&#8217;re not going to have to remember steps at all as they&#8217;re just going to be the way you interact with the world.</p>

<p>Many people think that fixing their inner game is a bit like getting a seduction &#8217;superweapon&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p>Which will give them the ability to attract women everywhere they go.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s something I need to tell you. Here it goes &#8211; </p>
<p><strong>Sorry, but it&#8217;s impossible to fix your inner game.</strong></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much work you put into it.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much seduction theory you read. It doesn&#8217;t matter how many women you approach. </p>
<p>Nothing is going to fix it. I really am sorry.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t panic though &#8211; not everything is lost. There is a light at the end of this tunnel for all of us.</p>
<p>You see, the reason you can never fix your inner game is because in order for you to be able to fix something, it first has to be broken. </p>
<p><strong>And your inner game can never actually *BE* broken.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;But it is broken!&#8217;, I hear you object. &#8220;If it wasn&#8217;t broken I&#8217;d be able to approach, meet and attract women everywhere I go!&#8221;.</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s not broken. And neither are you. In fact, you&#8217;re the exact opposite. You&#8217;re actually perfect.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know this sounds like a dirty lie but consider this:</p>
<p>Why do you think you get nervous around beautiful women? Do you think you&#8217;ve got some kind of genetic fault that makes you lose your shit when you approach a woman you really like?</p>
<p><strong> Well, do you get nervous around a Ferrari? Hmm&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Do you think you have an evolutionary program that makes your chest tighten and your mouth go dry when you see something you want?</p>
<p>Well, would your chest tighten and your mouth go dry if you saw a large mound of money?</p>
<p>Your nervousness is actually there for a very good reason. It&#8217;s not a fault or a defect, it&#8217;s actually a perfectly designed defense mechanism.</p>
<p>Somewhere during your life, you&#8217;ve associated putting your self out there, doing what you want, and following your desires with experiencing pain.</p>
<p>And to protect yourself from experiencing it again, your brain has developed this defense mechanism.</p>
<p>And now, when you see a beautiful woman, you associate approaching that creature of perfection with the seemingly high risk of experiencing pain.</p>
<p><strong>When you think about approaching her, your body goes into anxiety mode.</strong></p>
<p>The anxiety you experience is just your brain thinking that pain is around the corner &#8211; and you shouldn&#8217;t do what you were about to.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty simple.</p>
<p>This mechanism is the same mechanism that kept your ancestors around for hundreds of thousands of years and is one of the main reasons you&#8217;re alive today.</p>
<p><strong>And you want to &#8216;fix&#8217; it??</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same mechanism that your brain uses to stop yourself from burning yourself in a fire. It&#8217;s the same mechanism that your brain uses to stop you from running out in front of cars traveling at high speed.</p>
<p>Do you seriously want to get rid of the mechanism that you use to stop yourself from experiencing pain?</p>
<p>This mechanism is something you&#8217;ve used to because you perceived it was going to help you not to experience pain.</p>
<p>If you find that it&#8217;s not going to help you get what you want now, you can definitely change it. But there&#8217;s no way to &#8220;fix&#8221; it.</p>
<p><strong>How do you change it? Well, you can start changing the way you see the world.</strong></p>
<p>You can change what you think is going to cause you pain. You can change how you perceive you achieve happiness.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s nothing to fix. Right now, you&#8217;re the product of a perfect mechanism. A perfectly designed survival machine.</p>
<p>If you want to fine tune that survival machine, start off by downloading the <a href="http://www.seductioncommunitysucks.com" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seductioncommunitysucks.com','Seduction+Community+Sucks')">Seduction Community Sucks</a> book and then do the <a href="http://www.innergamechallenge.com" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.innergamechallenge.com','Inner+Game+Challenge')">Inner Game Challenge</a>.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s no way you can fix your inner game because, right now, in this moment, you are absolutely perfect.</p>

<p>Are you going out to gain something, or because going out is the best way in which you can both experience, and gift the world?</p>
<p>Are you chasing tail, or are you on an adventure that, by it’s very nature, cannot help but uplift those around you?</p>
<p>Basically, the big change for me happened when I shifted focus to serving,  rather than to gaining.</p>
<p>Let me elaborate on that.</p>
<p>Normally when I go out, there’s a bit of a performance at play: be as cool, as masculine, as real as possible in order to get people to like me, and hopefully get a mad bird to “agree” to give me the result I’m looking for.</p>
<p>This meant that at any given moment, I was checking in with my environment to see if I was any closer to, or further away from, my goal.</p>
<p>If I was further away from my goal, I would change the way I was being to get a more positive result.</p>
<p>If I was closer to my goal, I would make sure I kept doing what I was doing.</p>
<p>None of this was a pure and free expression of who I am as a person.  Rather, it was a representation of a scientist conducting objective actions to get closer to an anticipated result.</p>
<p>I wasn’t present, I wasn’t gifting anybody, I wasn’t even respecting myself.  Worst of all, I was not free.  I was bound by my interpretation of the stimulus around me.</p>
<p>Now, what happened when I shifted my focus from get, to give, was a removal of a very large, and very heavy weight from my shoulders.</p>
<p>When you’re out as a gift, you act, perceive, and function in an entirely different way.</p>
<p>Instead of asking yourself “What do I need to do for them so that they like me”, you ask yourself “Who can I be, without compromising myself, to give this person what they need?”</p>
<p>The difference in expression is phenomenal.  It’s a lot less restricted for starters.</p>
<p>You also become a lot more aware, receptive, and present to what’s actually going on around you, rather than what you think is going on around you.</p>
<p>My head was clearer, I was no longer analysing, I was just being me, at the fullest expression that I am.</p>
<p>I wasn’t trying to be fun so that people would like me, people just found me more appealing, more fun to be around, and were happy to be in my company.  </p>
<p>I wasn’t forcing this, I was just becoming aware of the needs of those around me, and facilitated my expression in such a way that it was a gift, rather than a leach.</p>
<p>It’s a lot more fun, a lot less effort, and a lot more real.</p>
