I don’t do this a lot, but a contributor from my forum at http://manwhore.org/forum put up an AMAZING post where he verbally body slammed his sister’s future mother-in-law and really put an overbearing and meddling woman in her place in defense of his own mother. The way he handled it really deserves some scrutiny.

=====================================
So yesterday, I was with my mom at my godparent’s house and they were all doin shit for my sister’s wedding
And at one point, the mother of my sister’s fiance comes over and they are all talking and eventually it gets to the point where the mother starts asking my mom about her religion and basically is like, “I don’t want my grandchildren growing up like that”.. and a bunch of bullshit like that..
Uhmmm…. well my mom was taking it like a champ, like totally answering this woman’s questions from a higher level of concsiousness. She was all, “Well, I am proud of who I am and if you are unhappy about something having to do with that, I think that’s something you’re going to have to deal with”
I was super amped for …
I had a couple of my readers recently contact me with questions as far as how to handle stressful job interviews and how to frame-control and out-Alpha other dudes in social situations. What started out as a simple response became a very detailed breakdown of what frame-control and being Alpha is.
Just like anyone else I am faced with situations or questions that I do not know the answer to. My default response to the unknown is the trust and belief in myself that regardless if I know the answer or right course of action to take now or not, I’ll figure it out and get it done. Even if I mess it up I’ll learn- so no reason to falter. The best way to set myself up for success is to calmly and forthrightly look at a situation and either handle it or realize you can’t and pass it on and simply say “I can’t do it/I don’t know”. I carry that with me in whatever I do. This feeling/belief of self-trust is your right as a human being. It should be taught in school but it’s just not widely known yet. People think you either have “it” or you …
I like to have one focus when I go out.
Whether it’s “I’m having an adventure with the buds” or “I’m pulling a girl”, I keep myself focused on the mission at hand. It’s pretty hard to get me focused on anything else.
However- I think the main point here is that I do have a purpose. Whether I’m intent on banging, practicing a particular skill set, or playing pool.. there is something to what I’m doing. This is a big deal- and something I think a lot of guys lack when they go out.
What the fuck are you out for gentlemen..? Get on it. Stay on it.
This will give you clarity of mind and action; and your behavior will follow suit. And this is what girls get a sense of. I ran around last night gaming three girls in the same vicinity- they knew what was going on, but as I was serious and focused, they inherently did not question it.
Do you always have girls asking you where your friends are? It’s probably because they don’t get a sense of purpose about you.
And most people lack this.. so when you do have a …
Toodles,
Interesting phenomenon I see out in the field with other guys, or hear about..
Guys taking off to go home when they see themselves start to have a bad night.
We’re not here to feel good gentleman. We’re here to get girls, or hang with buds, or increase our skills. But we’re not here to feel good. Sure there are some legitimate reasons for taking off- and sometimes hell ya it’s good to take a break; but if you’re slinking off more than one night out of the week.. you’re just being a puss.
I’m talking about state crashes. A girl or two blows you out, the bartender is “rude” to you, some dude tries to tool you; and you start feeling down. This is no reason to leave. You came with a plan.. stick to it.
There were times when I was in the military life sucked. But quitting wasn’t an option. It wasn’t something I even thought about. Besides.. I had others to think about. Most of you only have yourselves to think about, and you shouldn’t be thinking about yourselves. See the bigger picture- your skills, your purpose for being out, the people that depend on you for things even if …
I just got back from watching the new Transformer movie tonight.
Shia Labouf and Megan Fox had some great dialogue in the beginning. Something along the lines of:
“I’m breaking up with you- I hate you”
“That’s great baby. You sounded almost serious that time.. anyways baby, blah blah”
She threw several fast ones at him and he was completely unaffected by her seemingly scathing rejections.
It was surprising to see the media represent a non James Bond male character unperturbed by a woman’s emotional flutter. Not that we can blame them.. they’re advertising to the “consumer”. And apparently all consumers are women.
The point I want to make is that Lebouf had single-minded focus on his purpose. Lazer-guided direction that could not be put off course by someone else’s emotional misdirection.
Sadly he didn’t get to this point himself- since later on in the movie, as soon as she threw anything else at him he folded like an origami pussy. Obviously she started this type of hot/cold dialogue and he just learned to play along.
But imagine if he was always like this..
A girl could count on you to not get twisted up every time she had herself a crazy moment, or more importantly when life threw …
Check to see if your college has a campus tv station- then start a show. Get your buds on it with you. It could be about anything. Just look good doing it- the skills you learn here are obviously what I’m talking about. You could be 3 dudes sitting on a couch discussing college chicks and it would totally get an audience.
Tell the frats and sororities you have a tv show and want to promote their events, do the same with the sports teams. You’ll be cordially invited and well-received at all their events. Plus your show will be known for advertising all the upcoming parties. Face-time baby.. there’s nothing like it.
If you’re on a sports team then volunteer to be the publicist dude and contact all the sororities and frats asking for their support in getting people to come out to your games/matches/whatever. Actually only contact the sororities. It is amazing how sweet those sorority presidents are when they find out who you are and that you are asking for their “support”.
There are alcohol companies out there that are looking for motivated dudes like you to hardwire events together. Find a cheap venue, hook up with a local alcohol company- …
Fellas,
Something I touched on BIG TIME in my LMR Series part V, which can be found here, was the idea of initiating some kind of sexual dialogue with a girl you’re interested in.
If you are planning on SNLing a particular girl, or simply increasing your probability of doing so.. you need to do this. Same as when I say you can’t wait till the end of the night and all of a sudden try to pull her, i.e. you need to have been leading her [around] beforehand; you cannot try to wait till the last second to all of a sudden make the encounter a sexual one. Understand the only reason why you’d attempt to delay it indefinitely is because you’re scared to, in which case you have no business having sex with a girl anyways ; P. Or you simply don’t know, or know how to. It’s time to be made aware of this stage of logistics..
Girls are social creatures. Put in terms easier to understand.. they respond to their environment. It’s up to you to determine what that is.
Lots of guys have genuine conversations with girls; the girls are engaged- going back and forth with them- comfortable and …
I. Introduction- Owning yourself
A. You guys are too responsive to situations around you. You automatically respond negatively to a seemingly bad situation without questioning why you’re reacting like that, or feeling like that..
A girl acts bitchy to you, and you actually feel shitty- this leads to thinking it’s a reflection of you- so you start stuttering, your nonverbal communication takes a dive. And your thought process takes a dump. You get questioned by a cop, or some figure of authority like your parents, and you act and feel tense, nervous- you might even adopt guilty mannerisms.
Some of you guys say.. social embarrassment is the only thing I can’t get over. Dude.. it’s just a feeling. And you’re the only one feeling it! If you were to disregard it, it wouldn’t exist.
Guys.. those are just chemicals rushing through your body… You haven’t actually changed..! A lot of you guys feel owned by the physiological reactions you feel- that you have to respond to the horrible tense feeling in your gut. No… Disregard it- it’s only your body acting on its own. Divorce yourself from the feeling and do not dwell on …
Great article I found on the “nation”, check it out it’ll be a big help
Characteristics of Self-Actualizing PeopleMaslow, on the basis of a study of persons (living and dead) selected as being self-actualizing persons on the basis of a general definition, described the self-actualizing person as follows, as compared to ordinary or average people (Maslow, 1956):
1. More efficient perception of reality and more comfortable relations with it. This characteristic includes the detection of the phoney and dishonest person and the accurate perception of what exists rather than a distortion of perception by one’s needs. Self-actualizing people are more aware of their environment, both human and nonhuman. They are not afraid of the unknown and can tolerate the doubt, uncertainty, and tentativeness accompanying the perception of the new and unfamiliar. This is clearly the characteristic described by Combs and Snygg and Rogers as awareness of perceptions or openness to experience.
2. Acceptance of self, others, and nature. Self-actualizing persons are not ashamed or guilty about their human nature, with its shortcoming, imperfections, frailties, and weaknesses. Nor are they critical of these aspects of other people. They respect and esteem themselves and others. Moreover, they are honest, open, genuine, without pose or …
Response to a question/thread from BlackJack, i.e. THE Roger. I’ll cover this better in my 2000th post but wanted to address this as this was something he is dealing with NOW.
Hey bro
So I saw you approach a few groups and I think I have a general good idea of what’s happening.
One of the biggest things people respond to is social dominance. Especially for girls, it’s just their biological paradigm. At some point, maybe many points, you’ll have to demonstrate this. In ALL my LRs you’ll see evidence of this, of me interacting with a group and leading the whole thing, or demonstrating social dominance in day to day interactions. It can be something basic like interacting with a McDonalds cashier, or introducing yourself to all her friends, or venue-changing, or leading a group interaction, or holding everyone’s attention as you tell a story.
You can be “The Man” just with her as much as you want to. But if you can’t interact with a group naturally, calmly, and exhibit social dominance.. you’re like a one-legged giant. So lead the environment, whatever that happens to be. If it’s just you and her, ok.. if it’s her and her friends, lead them. If …
So I’m blitzing down the road.. ocean on my right.. some shitty apartment buildings on my left..
…and all of a sudden I see, about half a block away, a motorcycle cop step out into the road and flag me down to get me to pull over. So he can give me a ticket. So I can pay the hefty fine. And get the point on my driving record.. and go through ALL the hassle of going to court blah blah.
Needless to say I was not at ALL interested in any of this so I kept going.
Apparently this was rather shocking for him. He kind of paused.. and then ran back to his bike to pursue me. I made a right turn, then made a left, then belted around and pulled into a parking lot. Where I stopped and began chatting with random buddies on the phone as all of a sudden I had 10 minutes to kill.
The interesting thing (why I wrote this up), was my initial reaction to this situation. A cop flags you down you’re supposed to pull over. But I didn’t want to. Not only …
What’s up fellas,
One of the things I focus on most in my life, is achieving greater levels of mental discipline and focus, and therefore work and life efficiency. An old buddy of mine on RSDnation created these binaural audios to help stay focused. They’re incredibly helpful so I wanted to share them.

I saw too many guys last night just settling. They’d walk up to a girl, say a few words, she’d show her approval by letting him dance with her. They were.. happy with that?
Wow. What awesome communication. We definitely can see who the prize is here. But don’t be mad at the girl.. if he wants to fit that role then let him. Just not the way I see it.
All girls are Chuck E. Cheese munchkin heads.
When they pipe up you bop them. On the head. Lay your hand down over their forehead or head first so you can cushion your own blow. When they all start chiming in at once it becomes difficult to figure out which one to bop first. Do your best. You will know if you get it because the jackpot siren will go off.
Sure you can adopt a neutral purely social attitude with them. But why not instead start shaping the interaction with her from the beginning as one of you being the screener.
Focus on what you want from a girl, how you want a girl to act, and try to go out and find it. It’s pre-screening. You’re walking up …

Remember Tyler’s 3 tenets to life..? His last one was.. “never ASSUME anything..” Huge meaning but lots of people didn’t catch its meaning or application. Perfect example here..
Never assume the game is over, never assume a girl’s just going to decide for you she’s ready to go, never assume you’ve crossed the value-threshhold and it’ll be smooth sailing to the lay, never assume a girl’s mood will stay the same.
In other words.. ALWAYS BE SHOWING VALUE. Just as in a relationship you can’t assume a girl’s always going to be ready for sex, or to please you in whatever way you demand, you must always be making a girl feel good, handling logistics, and leading her.
It’s why I always say “closing” game is a whole ‘nother ball game. It’s like the next level in super mario brothers. Not that girls are video games, they’re not.. they’re calculators actually. What I’m saying is.. Live in the moment, always be living from your best qualities. Always be the MAN in the interaction/relationship, in how you live your life.
