don't forget this point we all miss.
MOST of the real teaching is NOT in-field. in-field is so hit and miss, and so fast paced and random, that teaching there is like teaching someone how to drive an F1 car on the track in a race.
yes, you have to race to get it, but for every hour on the track, you better put in 10 in the classroom or you're toast.
shit, everyone on here can teach a buddy better body language and how to make eye contact and smile. everyone needs work at the fundamentals.
I see what you are getting at here, but I don't think pick up can be compared to driving an F1.
The thing is, we are all born FUCKING machines... We came from a pedigree of thousands of generations of sex machines, I guarantee none of our parents were virgins... right??
So you have all the tools needed to succeed, you just need to figure out what are the right tools.
How do you discover this? IN FIELD...
I've had clients who have never approached anyone in their life, with no exposure to the community at all, having one night stands by the end of the weekend.
It's just a matter of getting out there and realizing how easy it is. Not building up endless excuses not to approach, not to escalate, not to put your balls on the line...
Back to topic: I agree, teaching is one of the best ways to reinforce your own positive mindsets and theories. If you find something that works, and teach it to others and it works for them, it just makes those beliefs that much stronger in your own head.
My game has gotten dramatically better with teaching.
great points.
UNLESS they have bad habits to undo.
most of the guys i have taught don't come in already confident and ready to learn. they are terrified of talking to a girl, and if they still have that fear when approaching, she feels is, and she shows fear, and it goes badly, and then they have re-inforced that negative belief.
and it gets worse as you get older. it's like this:
i taught swimming for years. it's wicked easy to teach a kid who's never swum before. BUT the more time they have spent around water, or avoiding water, the more afraid they are, and the harder it gets to teach them what is truly a pretty natural, instinctive thing.
i see the same thing teaching pickup. i mean, fuck, it all comes down to be confident, feel sexy, have fun, and those are instincts, but bad habits can totally fuck a guy up... especially if he overthinks it.
that's where just practicing simple stuff like smiling and breathing and small talk make all the difference. and anyone here can teach just one tip on things like that to a friend.
