I'm currently going through Dave Riker's Speed Seduction Technical Manual. It's an audio program accompanied by a written transcript/workbook. So far, it's fucking stellar. I'm learning more about SS than ever before and a lot of concepts are becoming more clear now. I just ran across this little bit about memorizing patterns that I found quite eye-opening:

.. does not exist. If it did this Manual would be a LOT shorter than it is! The patterns that you have seen and heard in many products and at seminars, for the most part, are examples of what could be said and done. There are some circumstances where you may be able to use them word-for-word. But for the most part, they are shown as examples of what could be said and what could be done, at the right time, and in the right context.
Use patterns as they are described here in the lectures; as ways to learn, as a fallback position to discuss certain subjects and themes, and as way to introduce the languaging to yourself, so that you start to become more and more familiar with it.
However don't waste all of your time memorizing patterns! I have met many guys who have spent way way way too long doing that. One guy from a few years back, had spent an entire year learning like 30+ patterns. He had them memorized exactly, the wording, what to say, the voice inflection, pauses, gestures, etc. and he had very FEW encounters with women! He could say the patterns at home in front of a mirror, but put him in front of a woman and/or have him create a situation where he could actually USE those patterns, and it would not happen!
So, take the examples for what they are, Examples. Use them at times, but more importantly, learn from them. Become familiar with the structure, the language, the topics and subjects, and just start to talk to women like that. |
I think this process of internalizing the concepts and dynamics of the art rather than memorizing scripts is very much comparable to "natural game" and memorizing canned routines. Routines serve as great examples that you can even use in field, but the main purpose of canned material is to learn and internalize the concepts and dynamics to just get the vibe of what gaming is like. |
