Picking Stephen Nash's (AKA "Playboy") Brains

After a 6-hour day of one-on-one consultation with Stephen Nash AKA "Playboy" from Neil's "The Game," and I got a chance to ask him A LOT of questions regarding attraction, skills, Project Hollywood, inner game, etc. What's great about Stephen is he is really knowledgeable, really knows what he's talking about, has a lot of great stories about Project Hollywood, and the most important of all - the authenticity and genuinity to tell you everything you ask him. This won't be review of his 1-on-1 Afternoon Consultations and about his CEIC but I will be talking about a few tidbits about what I learned from him. I'll be posting that soon and it will be lengthy and It'll be everything I got out of him. It's always good to be around guys like him because he knows a lot about women you'll learn soo much from him in such a short time and what's really GREAT about him is he will point you to the right direction of ATTRACTING the woman you really want.

What's awesome about Stephen is he taught in a more SOCRATIC way, meaning instead of giving you exactly the right answer, he would ask you about what you thought first and steered you towards the right answer. A lot of people (and I do this too) is we want instant answers and most of the time we don't really think ourselves. Good mentors really enhance students how to find the answers themselves, which leads to better, smarter, and more creative students. Stephen really cared and really pointed me in the right direction of getting what I want out of dating and my life, by asking the right questions and showing me the way to the right answer. Sometimes, I didn't like his answers but I knew that he was right.

"What you really want to get is a girlfriend, yet as of right now you're having a string of one-night stands, so chances are you're not going to be getting one sooner." Stephen says, after quoting himself from a past client to give me an example. "You might not like the answer I'm giving you right now, but truthfully you are going to have to accept it to get what you want."

So to my readers and to the seduction community, I present to you answers to Frequently Asked Questions by men new to dating.

Me: I really don't know what I want out of this. I've been in it for a year and I'm in the middle of whether I want to be a PUA or just have a girlfriend. It really bothers and confuses the hell out of me.
Stephen: Would you accept the fact that you are confused and you don't know what you want to allow yourself the freedom to try out new things?

Me: If the Woman is attracted, do I still run anymore Attract material?
Stephen: No, drop the material if she is attracted. Just be playful so that the interaction isn't boring.

Me: Do You think it's necessary to do MM/RSD tactics like takeaways, timed body language movements, etc.?
Stephen: What do you think? Do you think a woman of high-caliber will really believe that you are disinterested or interested by timing all of your movements and doing takeaways? Don't you think she will smell your falsity?

Me: Do you think it's necessary to hide our insecurities?
Stephen: No, instead of conquering insecurity, accept it. You can't win against insecurity because we will always have it. You may not like it, but we're just people. Don't hold it back. Even revealing your own insecurities can actually make a connection and it shows that you have integrity and a genuine person.

Me: Can I call a girl's phone number the day I get her phone number?
Stephen: Sure, why not. Invite her to a party with a bunch of your friends to show you are social.

Me: Can I set up a day 2 with a girl the next day I get her phone number?
Stephen: Sure, but keep in mind though that the next day you two are "hanging out with your friends" and she is welcome to come along.

Me: What does qualifying Yourself exactly mean?
Stephen: Qualifying means you talking about all the proud things about your life such as I own a bike shop, I'm the no.1 soccer player in my high school team, etc.
Me: But while I was baiting to this girl, I felt like I was qualifying myself. I was adding details about my life but she wasn't asking me questions about them and she just stood there even though she was attracted to me. What am I doing wrong?
Stephen: The real reason why you think you are doing something wrong is because you thought that she wasn't interested in the little details you were adding. It doesn't mean that she wasn't interested in what you were saying, it means she wasn't interested in those little details which doesn't mean anything. If you know she's attracted it just means those little details you were talking about weren't at all her interest.

Me: Is it really necessary to spark a high buying temperature?
Stephen: What does "spike buying temperature" mean to you - what do you mean when you say this? A The idea of spiking buying temperature, in short, means to flirt/tease into a state of laughter and intrigue - I assume that is what you mean. In our lexicon, it is in the hook phase - which really means that they are more interested in having you stay than leave. My experience with BT is that they are very engaged with the conversation, but that by no means increases your chances of a date - and I've seen this happen to others too. Spiking BT makes the PUA feel good, and the girls temporarily, but oddly enough it rarely translates to actual dates. Your goal is to just be flirtatious and funny enough - too much laughing/giggling nonsense instantly means the "player card" which you don't want.

Me: Is it really necessary to learn routines?
Stephen: If you aren't comfortable flirting, then by all means grab a few funny routines/lines/gimmicks to lean on to teach you the SKILL.

This is all I can come up with for now. It's 3:50 AM in the morning and my brain is fried. Hopefully this information is very helpful to you all.
