Hello Zip. I just finished reading this entire thread, and I have to say it was overall a very enjoyable read. I decided to read it after recieving the TripZip newsletter. I have talked to Tripp some, very knowledgable guy. I want to read his FAQ thread soon too, when I get a chance.
I recall you mentioned you had some clients that were good at reading bodylanguage. Did they mention where they learned this ability from? I'm interested in body language beyond just PUA, because it has great applications in art, especially moving art. I read that ebook that is stickied and am writing a review about it, from an outsiders perspective.
I have read eye contact is quite important when opening. Do you think its a good idea to lower the eyes after intially seeing someone, if you intend to game them? What would run through your head if someone did this to you, by holding eye contact than breaking away by lookind down?
You also mentioned hypnotica, I assume a inner game guru or PUA? What make his stuff so great?
The two guys I was talking about who are masters of body language aren't my clients... they are my two wings in NYC. They have studied body language form a series of classes and books. Here's a good list of assorted stuff:
1.) The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara and Allan Pease
2.) Unmasking the Face by Paul Ekman (facial expressions)
3.)

4.) thebodylanguageproject.com has a fantastic ebook available. I think you can still get a free copy here if you write a review... I believe there is a sticky or announcement in the pua lounge
As far as eye contact when opening... I personally pattern the person, see if the man is old school or a bit more modern.
1.) If he's old school, I will look at him, break eye contact by looking down, then shortly regain eye contact and hold it until he smiles at me
2.) If he's more modern, I will look at him until I have his eye contact and I won't look away.
As a man, you can play around with what works best for you. Honestly, I like a guy who can keep direct eye contact and make me squirm a bit. However, if I feel like he's STARING at me, I'll run away and send a guy over there. It's about how you come across. I've also been pretty attracted to the break away/regain game. You make eye contact and break it, shortly look back.. make eye contact, break it... look back, make EC, smile... game on. That was your opener.
Hypnotica is the father of inner game, as far as I'm concerned. His self actualization visualizations have helped me shape the frame I have today, which came in handy quite recently to keep me sane.
