Shadow Boxing for Frame Control

Posted November 26, 2008

Last week I wrote a post talking about what I believe is the number one reason many guys never become successful at picking up women. The reason, in my opinion, many guys never get successful is because they are practicing wrong. In the article I spoke about how “pressure retards learning” and how the high

Zero Resistance Seducing

Posted November 21, 2008

More evidence that sales and seduction are completely similar. The last couple days I’ve been talking about a book called Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

Sparring Practice

Posted November 20, 2008

Yesterday I wrote about a huge realization I came to after reading Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. My realization revolved around an idea that Maltz talks about in his book. Pressure retards learning. In yesterday’s post I gave some scientific research that explains that when humans learn under high pressure situations their minds form cognitive

The #1 Reason Most Guys Never Become Successful at Pickup

Posted November 19, 2008

Last month at the Super Conference, Mike Stoute and I had the opportunity to interview most of the Love Systems instructors. One of the questions that we asked them was “What book, outside of the community, has affected your life the most?” Twice we got the answer Psycho Cybernetics. Mr. M found the book to

How Women Think

Posted November 17, 2008

The average guy who hits on a girl is boring. He is generally talking about himself most of the time, or asking her flat dry questions that elicit no emotional response. If you want to be different, you need to speak in the way that most women think. You’ll need to create seductive conversations through

The Pickup Artist’s Brian’s Farewell Interview

Posted November 13, 2008

Truthfully I never cared to read any of the other contestants farewell interviews over at the Vh1 Blog. Most of the contestants this year just irritated me and I was glad to see them gone. I’m sure there interviews were filled with praise for Mystery, how much their life has changed, and how they have

When you’re spending that kind of money, you know exactly whose those people are, and you gear all of

Is Johnny Wolf Really Retiring From Being a PUA?

Posted November 11, 2008

How exactly do you retire from being a PUA anyway? You can retire from teaching bootcamps. You can retire from writing ebooks. Hell, you can even retire from actively pursuing women… But Mystery once said, “You either a PUA or an AFC.” So is Johnny Wolf going back to AFC. Wolf, known for hosting the

When It’s Your Life Or Death Duty To Hit It

Posted November 11, 2008

It can be death if a girl goes on a trip before you banged it. Something strange happens to a girl’s brain where things reset on the road. She comes back less enthused than ever to get it from a guy who was working on her. Let me give you a recent example. I met

Super Conference and Playboy Party Weekend Report (w/pics)

Posted October 27, 2008

As many of you know, Mike Stoute, Pete the Freshman, and I were invited by Nick Savoy, CEO of Love Systems, to attend the 4th annual Super Conference in Los Angelos. This was exciting to me as I had never attended an event as big as this, nor had I ever been to California. I

Advanced Pickup Techniques: Qualification

Posted October 13, 2008

We’ve decided here at TSB Magazine that we are going to start a new series for our members called “Advanced Pickup Techniques.” We haven’t published many posts that dive into the more complex pickup material for awhile do the fact that we’ve focused more on achieving a more well balanced social life. But we realize
