This is a video of marlon brando.. he was one of the great seducers of the 20th century and most critics agree he is the greatest actor of all time. If you dont know who he is.. he is best known for being the role of the godfather among other things..
anyway.. the reason these videos helped me so much was because of the way he describes how he acts..
"everyone is an actor"
"learn to be aware of your own feelings"
this is all great advice for pickup.... if you are bright enough to put the pieces together..
plus marlon has a great personality. if you enjoy this video watch the other 5
if you want to get straight to the point skip to about 4:30
I simply loved this vid. The way Marlon discribes interactions is really amazing. If you find more vids like this one post em.
yep i just figured that his theory that "everyone is and actor" and learning to be aware of your feelings so you can control them and act or pretend to be whoever or whatever you want is such a great way of looking at interactions.
think it really applies to gaming girls.
that video posted is only 1 of 6 videos for larry king. unfortunately thats really the only good stuff for marlon... the other videos are kind of depressing and you can tell it was in a dark time of his life after his family suicides and such.
Well what makes him a seducer is that hes been deemed the "greatest actor of all time" by many and thats a pretty high status.. so of course he banged lots of women in hollywood.
the point here is not not learn pick-up technique from marlon brando.. the point here is that marlon brando's perspective on acting and interacting with others has alot to do with innergame

really good, i enjoyed it. its definitely something i think all of us should internalize. we're just actors, and the world is our stage (what a cliche?) but all we have to do is recognize our emotions and control it
Brando was an excellent actor, particularly in his early stages. But best ever? ...no.
Besides the fact that his eating habits turned him essentially into a barely mobile tub of lard, Brando had two real characters that he always played--his early years, he was a strong, misunderstood miscreant epitomized by his best movie--On the Waterfront, and his later years he was the slow moving, but dominant undisputed leader as captured by the Godfather, Part 1.
Of the big name, established actors, I would put Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins above Brando...hell, even though Humphrey Bogart was a little one-sided, I'd say he showed more flair than Brando. I would even say there are a good number of younger actors who have arguably surpassed Brando in their performances.
And although he may well never be recognized even on the top ten, I think Daniel Day-Lewis is probably the greatest actor that has ever lived.
EDIT: And after Brando's pseudo-intellectual pontifications in that video, I am only reinforced in my low opinion of him.
seems like a very interesting person...someone you could probably never alter their perception due to stubbornness, but nonetheless at least he has reflected on his life.

That's not a cliché, that's mangled Shakespeare baby: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." -As You Like It
The best part of this video is the point Brando makes at the end, " I am a Godfather, and so are you. There isn't anything that you can feel, think or have, that I dont have."
This is a very important concept to think about, not just for pickup but for anything you may be striving for. If there is a guy out there who can have a different girl for each night for the rest of his life, then so can you. What one man can do, another man can do.
