Nuggets of Wisdom

Sure, this is an add, but there are precious nuggets of wisdom in this one . . .


Now, YOU try and explain the following
phenomenon!

Namely, how some social events
gain all the momentum seemingly by
itself, and become the proverbial
"best party ever" (subject of stories
and folklore among your friends for
years)...

...while other events turn out to
feel awkward and forced, boring and
dull, unable to attract those people
whom you could describe with the
elusive predicate "cool".

This applies to the Christmas dinner
at grandma's as much as for professional
seminars, crazy Hollywood afterparties,
or our Venusian Arts bootcamps (which
are something in-between pro seminar and
off-the-hook celebrity party)

(I shall have to say a bit more about
"cool" later)

----------------------------------------
Even events that start out well can
turn sour quickly. And vice-versa.
----------------------------------------

Ever notice how some parties reach that
"tipping point" where everyone seems to
want to escape as quickly as they can?

In those situations, the socially
advantageous strategy to preserve one's
highest possible value is to DIS-associate
from the "lame" crowd and "get the hell
outta here" because "this party is dead."

Then again, other parties seem to want
to go on and on, well into daylight
hours... only physical limitations of
sleep, intoxication, or work commitments
can force people out.

These are the parties where the host has
to climb over unconscious bodies to
clean up the place at dawn, and eventually
retreat to bed BEFORE the last couples
in the living room are done making out.

From a social dynamics perspective,
you would LOWER your social value to
leave the place early... "why are you
such a square, to leave the party now?
It's only 7:30 am!"

----------------------------------------
Teaching you how to consistently make
YOUR party the most socially-attractive
option is a BIG part of Mystery's game.
----------------------------------------

And when I say "party", I'm not only
speaking of a literal afterparty at
your house.

Hanging around you is always "where the
party is at", be it at an actual party,
at work, or even on a short elevator
ride with complete strangers.

You are ALWAYS "the coolest dude"... in
any social situation.

Can coolness rub off? *&@# right it can.

Mystery, Matador, and Lovedrop have
written and taught a lot about social
circle game. It's one of Joe D's
specialties too.

Social value always flows to you from
other human beings, be it characters in
your pick-up stories (DHV stories), or
better yet, humans that actually exist
and hang out with you, at the time that
you're approaching a girl.

Rather than being a "lone wolf" prowling
bars and clubs, targeting women that
by some unlikely chance happen to be
standing around alone for a moment,
we teach you how to build a social
circle that rolls with you wherever
you go, leading to an unlimited supply
of lades, delivered directly to your
house!

----------------------------------------
Lovedrop calls it as profound a change
as the transition from hunter-gatherer
stone-age society to an agricultural
economy.
----------------------------------------

The formula is simple:

Step 1: Roll with cool dudes.

Step 2: Cooperate with them to grow
your own chick farm.

"But I don't know any cool dudes! All
my friends are lame"

Well, join a party that is NOT lame,
and make friends with some cool dudes
next week in Las Vegas... dudes that
will show you live how it's DONE!

Cuz as much as I have the theory down,
I still can't explain how our party
on December 28 turned out to develop
that level of "coolness" traction it
now has (wait till you read the story of
how it came about.)

----------------------------------------
It started with another Hawaii bootcamp,
admittedly at one of the cooles places
in the world, Hawaii's own Las Vegas.
----------------------------------------

He called it the Holiday Special, as
it was oddly timed between the years.

I secretly thought, "OMG, nobody will
have time or money to come!" [Now we're
almost full!]

But perhaps it was that odd timing and
location that made it cool. Slightly
cooler than previous bootcamps, anyway.
After all, Matador was going to co-host.

Then it turned out Mystery was going to
be in Vegas over the holidays anyway.
He's got friends, family and a wide
network of "cool dudes" (and girls)
there. He agreed to make a special
appearance and go out with all of the
guys for a night.

Okay, the party became quite a bit
cooler right then.

Of course, Kosmo and Joe D got wind of
it and promptly volunteered to teach
students pick-up that weekend.

In no way did Kosmo & Joe have
ulterior motives, such as a
potential private "pick-up party of
the year" on December 31st, the
night right after the bootcamp. ;-)

----------------------------------------
Which goes to show: Cool dudes
stick together, party together, learn
from each other, help each other out.
----------------------------------------

I guess it could explain why this Vegas
thing has the "cool vibe" going.

Where will you be on THE
party weekend of 2007?

Will you be stuck at another forced,
awkward lamefest where guests see their
social value drop with every hour they
are sticking around? (A dead giveaway
is people getting drunk out of boredom
and desparation!)

Even if you'll be "only" at a
friendly get-together... have you
examined how much your social skills
can suffer from a strict diet of only-
hanging-out-with-old-friends-and-close-
family?

(I sure have been to my share of these,
many admittedly chill, get-togethers,
but did I improve my social
attractiveness skills one bit at a
private New Year's Eve BBQ, ever?)
