(He was involved a long time ago, took sometime off, then he is back at\u00a0it again, unfortunately.)\u00a0\u00a0 So he tells me, &#8220;<em>Wow, you&#8217;ve gotta see instructor xyz game.\u00a0 He is so incredible.\u00a0 He goes up to the girls and he has them wrapped around his fingers.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve never seen anything like it.\u00a0 Man you gotta come out and see this guy<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I try to change the subject.\u00a0 Oh, how I try&#8230;.\u00a0 &#8220;So, you excited about the NFL playoffs?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0His reply is to torture me more. &#8220;Dude, this guy&#8217;s stuff is cutting edge.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been helping him out at his bootcamps.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 Btw, this is one of the surefire signs that you&#8217;re very likely dealing with a community-involved person: They don&#8217;t notice your eyes glazing over not being interested in the conversation, nor do they take notice repeated multiple attempts at changing the conversation.\u00a0 (People are also encouraged to &#8220;Plow Through&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Finally, I&#8217;ve had enough.\u00a0 This is 2<sup>nd<\/sup> time he has gone on a diatribe about his new bootcamp instructor infatuation, and I happen to know the instructor, and really I am not that impressed, nor do I want to waste my time hearing about it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;<em>Look man, I know you like these workshops and you&#8217;re excited about this alleged new stuff you&#8217;re learning.\u00a0 It&#8217;s nothing new.\u00a0 And plus your hero-instructor for the most part is regurgitating Mystery-Method and selling it as Natural-Game.\u00a0 It&#8217;s kinda sad actually.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0He finally gets it.\u00a0 I am not interested in hearing about instructor xyz teaching &#8220;Pick Up Artist&#8221; dating workshops, an instructor who then blatantly lies about his results, but we&#8217;ll save that for later&#8230;\u00a0 My buddy is not happy with me!\u00a0 I liked our friendship better before he got involved into the bootcamp business where we could talk about normal hobbies.\u00a0 He is a good guy and deserves better than being enthralled with &#8220;Dating Guru&#8221; scumbags.\u00a0 Anyhow, moving past that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Why was this guy so infatuated with this new instructor?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>FLASH GAME!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0What is flash-game?\u00a0 How does it work?\u00a0 What&#8217;s the purpose?\u00a0 Why even do it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0Flash-game is a hyperactive high energy way of approaching women, then machine gunning them down with a barrage of routines, [a verbatim memorized script], all designed to get them laughing, giggling and looking like you have them eating out of the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Why do this?\u00a0 Because it impresses students!\u00a0 It wows the paying customer into thinking he has just witnessed an incredible feat in front of his eyes.\u00a0 To the student, it&#8217;s the equvialent of having watched live\u00a0John Elway&#8217;s &#8220;The Drive&#8221; or Magic&#8217;s Baby skyhook in the 1987 NBA Finals against the Celtics.\u00a0 It&#8217;s meant to be dazzle.\u00a0 Not proud of it, but I&#8217;ve done it! Back in the Project Hollywood days, circa 2004, I&#8217;ve done quite a bit of flash game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0What&#8217;s the problem?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Let&#8217;s put it this way: Flash-game is the equivalent of a fat guy who has not exercised in 10 years telling you, &#8220;Look, how athletic and fit I am&#8221; by running 50 yards (close to 50 meters) as fast as he can.\u00a0 But then you know that if he had jogged another 50, he&#8217;d collapse and vomit all over himself.\u00a0 Who knows, he might have even shit himself and soiled his underwear.\u00a0 But for those first 50 meters, he can make himself look good.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Point is Flash-game doesn&#8217;t really work in the greater context of attracting women.\u00a0 It does not yield results\u00a0 It&#8217;s designed for the instructor to dupe the students to thinking he can have any girl in the bar he wants.\u00a0 So he does approaches the girls, tries to entertain them in whatever way he can for a few minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Sometimes the instructors behave as over-the-top flamboyant effeminate homosexual men to ease the women into tolerating them.\u00a0 I KNOW you&#8217;ve seen this, if you&#8217;ve been around the seduction\u00a0community.\u00a0 You&#8217;ve seen &#8220;Insider&#8221; footage of hidden-camera pickups that were the equivalent of watching Bruno approach women in a nightclub.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1506\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1506 \" src=\"http:\/\/attractwomenanywhere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/bruno-blog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"175\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I&#39;m a fabulous Pick Up Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0 Again, this does not translate to attraction or turning a woman on sexually.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t take my word for it.\u00a0 If you have close female friends, ask them what they fantasize about when they play with themselves&#8230;\u00a0 It&#8217;s not the effeminate homosexual guy (who is still in denial) sweeping them off of their feet.\u00a0 That&#8217;d be the opposite of what they really fantasize. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Either way, Flash game is designed to make you look good for a 5-minute period and that&#8217;s it.\u00a0 She has nothing vested in the conversation and it certainly doesn&#8217;t mean that she is interested.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a parlor trick.\u00a0 You ever watch a street-performer or a side-show?\u00a0 You have fun, and perhaps give the guy a few dollars as a tip, and you walk away\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Disclaimer: In the bar game, if an instructor is good at what he does, he\u00a0could switch gears, slow things down, and create some rapport and perhaps work that into a one-night-stand with a specific type of girl but most guys teaching don&#8217;t have much personality to begin with.\u00a0 So we&#8217;re back to square one&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 The problem is two-fold:\u00a0 Guys teaching wanting to &#8220;Wow&#8221; the students and the guys learning wanting to be highly impressed.\u00a0 <strong>You have to decide if you&#8217;re taking a workshop\/bootcamp to experience more success in dating women, or if you&#8217;re spending money to be wowed.<\/strong>\u00a0 If it&#8217;s the latter, then you just like spending money for your pick-up artist infatuation, and not really interested in becoming better yourself.\u00a0 (And there are plenty of guys like that.)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I recall speaking to a group of guys about a year and a half ago.\u00a0 Afterwards, one guy blurted, &#8220;<em>Man, I&#8217;d love to watch you game sometime.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Like I told him then,<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0A.\u00a0 I am not a dancing monkey here to perform for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0B.
