1. MM is about acting like you are non needy not being no needy.
Most that use MM & canned routines are very basic beginners & the vast majority are going to have to “fake it until they make it” because no amount of telling them “not to put women on a pedestal” is ever really going to translate into that belief until they get in the field & have some success & see women for what they are. If they could really internalize that belief at that point it’s doubtful they would need be studying pick up help.

MM could say women aren’t above you but let a beginner get blown out like they will early, & that belief will evaporate quickly & they lose faith in the system which for most is what is probably getting them out in the field & giving them what little confidence they have being in the material. I think as a beginner there’s nothing wrong with “acting” until you can get it figured out yourself which is what eventually happens from being out.

2. "Bring her to your level" that's precisely what chief was talking about.
Perhaps that was worded incorrectly. Should have said disarmed, but the reality is that's what a neg does take her down a couple notches regardless of your value, & most beginners don't have a lot of social value in reality being akward and nervous. Basically every system uses it & just calls is something else be it, disqualifier, breaking rapport etc.

Quote:
3. "A chance to speak with me" supresssing desire and interest another trait and down-side to MM.
That quote was actually from Blueprint Decoded, which was a natural game set of principles. Even Durden said it was a stretch for a newbie to believe that at 1st.

For me I'm glad MM was glorified in the game, because I that had a lot of faith in the material & canned stuff & it orginally got me in field & allowed me to learn. I have moved away from it now, but for a beginer it's great as is & I owe a lot to it.

1. Not everyone needs to fake it till they make it, plus if you fake till you make, their is a real chance that you never transist.

2. Disarmed, again why the hell would she be armed? And no every system does not use it, plus disqualifiers are very different from negs.

3. I don't care about what durden says :P The point stands, this idea that your only talking to her for conversation is true maybe 20% of the time when sarging, the rest of the time it's just bullshit.

I would bet most of the worst AFC's DO need serious training wheels, which is what I see MM as being designed for, or they wouldn't be looking for pick up help. The ones that really don't & are looking to just to get better with women & already have some game or social skills presumably, would grow bored pretty fast & move on to more like most of us natural based systems. If they didn't I don't think they are really that advanced.

Regardless it gets most off the couch or at least did me, & trying, & gives particularly unattractive guys a guideline of how to go indirect. Style even made mention of having to go more indirect being less attractive & as why he believed so much in the system. It gets you in field learning & laid which I bet & better than many that look for the help are doing. Don't see the need to tear it down to much even if their is a rare guy that never got it & transitioned. Worse in my mind to criticize the system to newbies who have confidence in it and will try it where as if they try say speed seduction or total direct natural game might last a week after harsh rejections.

Not according to Mystery who pioneered both...

most systems I have seen have some form of neg or rapport break. Even speed seduction/NLP.

I think it's pretty telling you confused a belief statement like "i'm giving them a chance to speak with me" from coming from anything other than a natural based game & it was actually from TD's "Being the Selector". Hardly MM, which BTW he started in like most. I see nothing wrong with coming in indirect though, which is what MM is based on. Eventually in the model you qualify and move the interaction forward. if you don't you aren't doing it correctly.

The points your arguing here arent the important points. It's not a can work can't work thing. MM can work... I find it very ineffective personally for me that means closing about 40% when I used it for several months to try it out.

The arguement here should be on the fake it till you make it side. Fake it till you make it does work... but only when done properly. In order to fake it till you make it theres 1 part which is accurate to the person your trying to become and one part that is being turned into a self fulfilling prophecy (the part being faked). For it to work in a congruent and long lasting way the beliefs must be accurate and the actions are 'faked'. MM is doing it the other way around.

Using MM like training wheels is letting your experiences control you. Thats what these guys have done their whole lives and thats why they cant get women already. Do you really want to be just the sum result of your experiences? Do you want to continue letting your experience control you, or do you want to control your experiences? Change your perceptions change your life.

Well, you are gonna be the sum of your experiences whether you like it or not. I guess what you are saying is that you can intellectually train yourself (NLP etc?) to realize certain things. Yes sure that can work too. However, I like to chose the experiences I will get in the future, going into situations where I can practice the things that I have not mastered.

Building confidence by experience is a bit like practical truisms.

You know like standing in front of a mirror every morning telling yourself that you are awesome... Compared to go out there every night and prove to yourself taht you are awesome. Not that I read it it sounds pathetic too... But thats how I built my confidence.

It seems that the trend is to reject the Mystery Method nowadays... People from all around start bashing this method saying that you dont like it for various reasons.

Well, My take on this. It does work.

My explanation, it is not what it seems.

The Mystery method is not a method meant to be used as it is used by 99% of all PUAs. The Mystery method is easy to grip, easy to use, there is a fixed amount of rules and techniques that you can use in order to get the girl, easy to remember right?

Ok so these "rules, techniques and routines" feels faked right? They sure do. But Mystery has developed them from scratch and stumbled upon a very important discovery, it is not about negs, stories, time constraints really. They are just means to achieve another thing. They are there to give you success or results while you learn the most important lesson of all. There is no game, its an illusion.

Negs, routines, timeconstraints are all there to fake the presence of a confident man. This is the way a confident man would act... Some girl see through it and some dont. Anyway it will be better than nothing. You will start having more successes than before and believe that the method itself works. After a while you get good at it and start feeling comfortable around women. After that you start feeling confident. Then you dont need so many routines and realize that there is no need to use the routines that you use to fake confidence, you are allready confident.

The other thing that Mystery found was the DHV spikes. They are real. But you dont need to deliver them as mechanically as you are taught. If you need more attraction, flip another switch, if you are doing allright, dont. Easy as that.

Lastly, Mysterys way of not showing interest before she does is a good thing too. It is not a rule, more a guideline. Many naturals spit on this because they think that they dont need it. The problem is that these naturals dont realize that they have already built interest in this girl before opening. Thats right, it is possible to have sufficient IOIs to start off in A3.

50% of the Mystery method is made to teach you one thing. Dont be needy. This is soo difficult for most men to grasp, this is so difficult to calibrate, being not needy but still not just standing in a corner.

The M3 structure is also a way to teach newbies to not seem needy. The negs too. This all boils down to one thing, faking confidence.

It is fake it until you make it! Sarge using the M3 model and you will become more confident.

The M3 model is not really a gameplan, it is a teaching plan. The further you progress the more parts you can skip. In the end, you dont really need any of it, but then you have become good enough to go natural.

It is one thing to learn the Mystery method, most guys can do that.
It is another thing to master the Mystery method, some guys do that.

It is a completely different thing to really understand the Mystery method, see through it... Not many people do that.


Bottom line. The Mystery method works, but see it as it is meant to be seen, a way to learn.

Ezo
i agree 100% on this.

there are a lot of people around here who bash mm constantly and don't even completely understand it

1. The worst afc's are the ones that run the greatest risk from becoming a robot, they have little knowledge of how inter-actions run in a normal non PU coontext, so when they get into MM they can't stop analysing things from an MM position, as that is all that they have experienced.

Simple fact: MM is wrong in a good number of places, and pre-supposes beliefs that are wrong, YES it can be used as training wheels.

But their is no reason someone can't use other forms of canned script coupled with more modern philosophy to have training wheels, while at the same time avoiding the risk of becoming robotic.

Also You'll of faced just as much rejection via MM as you would via SS, it's about how you say it, not what you say.

Who you are and what you convey in PU is farrr more important than your method, when it comes to receptivity*, you should note receptivity is different to "success".

2. Disqualifiers and negs have the same goal, the method used to achieve this is VERY different.

Negs prey on giving the girl in question a lapse in self esteem, (again why are we wanting to drop her self esteem, are we not good enough for her?) Disqualifyer is saying, I'm not really romantically interested at the moment.

3. You should note I was an MM practitioner for about 3-4 months of my first year, "I'm giving them a chance to speak to me", is a typical indirect belief, why? Becuase you are immiediatly removing the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS attraction factor involved in why you approached the girl in the first place.


Now it is probably held by some direct practitioners no doubt, but the belief in itself is just beating round the bush with actually why you have approached.

While I think MM has a lot of good ideas in it and is definately worth a read. I've never understood how It is supposed to teach you not to be needy while at the same time it tells you to be gaudy and wear giant purple hats. Now this is just a theory but, i believe that guys who paint their nails, wear giant ridiculous stuff, ETC... Are just begging for attention, which is in fact a form of being needy. It's definately a DHV. Although I really do like Mystery's theorys of AA being linked to the caveman days.

Not one of of is simply the sum of our experiences, we are the application of our perceptions of past present and future events to our belief systems.

The glass being half empty has a different effect then the glass being half full. But if you enjoy having life control you insted of you controlling it then by all means proceed.

And why do you have to prove it to yourself? People who have to prove things to themselve have to do so because they dont really believe in themselves, thus they have a high chance of quitting should they fail. The ones who know they can do virtually always do, because if they fail they try again, because they knew they could do it.

MM isnt like training wheels... its like crutches when your learning to walk... it distorts your development... and to be honest I have yet to meet a MM guy who you didnt look in his eyes and just see the insecurity and fear hiding behind the faked smiles.

Whats kind of ironic is that doing it without a crutch like MM is not only faster but easier. 99% of people already have had the experiences they need to form stronger levels of confidence then MM will ever grant you... all they have to do is change the perception and the confidence is theres in a matter of days.

Hmm, interesting.

I am willing to give every new method a try. So how would you recommend changing ones perception?

And, yes, it takes a special sort of person to get to most out of the MM. It is not until you are ready to leave it that you realise that you are learning for real.

Sounds more like marketing than real life to me.
Actually the change happens instantly, it takes a couple of days to condition it to being mostly congruent, within a couple of weeks it will be completely unshakable.

So bye all means make your claims that I'm just marketing. While you sit there claiming it can't be done like many with FAR more intensive psychological educations have said before to myself and others... I'll continue changing lives, because honestly I don't care what the people who don't get results think.

Maybe if Psychologist weren't so worried about keeping people in therapy sessions every week for years, paying their mortgages. Then perhaps they would be more open to a more efficient method... but then again years of weekly therapy means alot more money then a couple sessions for change and a couple more spread out for follow up.

Before you attack someone who has done it and proven it before, and called out real psychologists, not just some kid who is part way through his undergrad on these issues... you might want to do a little research... afterall you dont have results to fall back on so you ought to at least have theory before you attack someone.

But this is all your opinion. I have no desire to talk with you more on matters of self improvement because you and I have very different priorities. I only care about the application (results) and you only care about the theory (evidence)

You change your perception the same way you change anything... you just do it consciously where with most things we dont take control of the process of change.

You decide what should be changed
You determine what is currently stopping you from making the change
You build sufficient leverage on yourself
You break the old pattern
You condition the new pattern
You test your preliminary conditioning

if through the first test it holds then it will stick so long as you continue conditioning it. If it doesnt hold up to the first test you start the process again and generate more leverage.

Agreed with Hobbit.

Calibration is a part of external game, and it is definitely critical to running any form of game directed towards high self esteem women. Of course, in order to learn calibration you have to actually hang in set long enough. Perfect usage for MM as training wheels into set.

Both must be looked at equally, inner and external. RSD Alex wrote an excellent post on this.
