What's Behind Your Mask?

What’s Behind Your Mask?

pickup artist advice “You’re about to LEARN 7 SECRET NINJA OPENERS and have women THROWING THEMSELVES at you…”

Heh.

Don’t you just get hopping mad every time you see another one of those hypey sales pages full of hollow promises?

I do, too. And it’s really time for some straight talk.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably seen your share of ‘dating advice’. And you’ve been through a phase of wanting to be a pickup artist.

(And, chances are, you’re now toying with the idea of being a natural).

Now, let me ask you something. Are you seeing the success with women that you thought you would at the start of this journey? How much have you improved?

And by ‘improved’, I’m not asking you how many women are you approaching and gaming, compared to the number of women you were approaching and gaming before ‘the game’.

I’m not even asking you to compare how many women you’ve bedded before and after you got into ‘the game’. Although a lot of guys find that the difference is not as great as they thought it would be.

No.

What I’m asking you is this. How much of a shift do you feel has happened in your soul? Not in your head, which may be feeling better or worse about itself than it did last week.

No no no.

I’m talking about that part of you which you experience as a knowingness, rather that knowledge.

The part of you which feels like a thick, mysterious, still layer of YOU underneath the thin layer of thought that’s your presence is centered in as you’re reading this page.

I’m talking about that part of you which deeply, truly, knows whether you’re worthy of a woman of the woman that you are standing in front of. Or whether you’re not.

That part of you which you can lie to, but which does not yield to your lies.

Rather, it lets you know that you’re lying to yourself with a subtle, yet persistent voice of knowingness which shines through whatever knowledge you have of yourself as a pickup artist, natural, or whatever label is fashionable this month.

Another way of putting it would be, it’s that part of you which you experience with your gut, rather than your brain.

It’s your intuition about yourself.

And when you’re approaching a woman, ready to open your mouth and to say something clever to her, does your intuition tell you that you are truly, deeply worthy of this woman?

That you’re truly as much of a real deal as you’re about to present yourself to her to be? Or is that intuition telling you that you’re about to hide ‘the real deal’ from her with a mind-dump of stuff you learned online?

And that maybe this layer will help you not make a mess of this approach.

In that moment of brutal honesty about yourself, listening to your heart, what do you sense about yourself?

And that’s what I’m asking you here – that sense, that intuition, that knowingness about yourself as a man – is it feeling any different than it did a year ago?
