Introduction

So, here it is. The highly awaited, forever requested “Routines


Manual.” Contained inside are some of the best, most
consistently successful routines as compiled by the dating
industry leaders: Love Systems, Fast Seduction, Badboy
Lifestyles, and Brad P. Presents and others. These are the
workhorses used by Love Systems instructors and other
masters around the world.

A routine is any piece of prepared verbal or non–verbal material


used for attracting women and beginning a romantic or sexual
relationship. The variety and types of routines included in this
book range widely and are divided mainly according to the
objectives they seek to accomplish: e.g., building attraction,
creating comfort, creating physical intimacy, etc.

We offer you this book as a means to see what the masters use,
so you can develop your own material. Having a repertoire of
good routines is the bread and butter of good “game.” They are
what help us to replicate success. They help us avoid awkward
silences and “mind blanks.” They teach us what women like
to talk about. They demonstrate the kinds of things naturally
charismatic people do and help us develop the social skills to
attract beautiful women when we encounter them: at bars,
parties, during the day, or wherever.

ROUTINES

There’s nothing “weird” about using routines. Everyone does


it whether they know it or not. Any story you’ve told more
than a couple of times is a routine. We’re here to help you
make and use the best material. Which brings me to a big
caveat: “game” is not just spitting routines.

There is much, much more to it: proper delivery, calibration,


having an attractive identity, physical escalation, genuineness,
having a unique and congruent style, and much more. Guys
who have great game have all of these areas mastered in
addition to having a formidable arsenal of routines in their
heads. These areas are covered in detail elsewhere, such as
a Love Systems bootcamp, or Magic Bullets by Savoy, but the
most important thing to keep in mind is personalizing your
game; creating your own style with the routines you choose.
You will notice that there are a wide variety of styles included
in this book; created by people such as Badboy, Brad P., Tyler

pseudonyms). They run the gamut from smooth, to genuine, to
IXQQ\WRERUGHUOLQHDEVXUG$OORIWKHVHKDYHEHHQ¿HOGWHVWHG
and have worked for various guys in real world situations. It’s
up to you to hone in on what works for you. What you say,
how you behave, and how you dress should all meld into one
congruent whole. Your routines back up your behavior and
support the identity you’ve chosen to convey.

highlight the identity you want to create out of the best parts

These are not gospel. Tweak and change them to make your
own versions. The goal is for you to come up with completely
new routines yourself. All the best guys have unique routines

Chapter 1
Introduction to the Emotional
Progression Model

The following is a brief introduction to the Emotional Progression


Model as taught in our live workshops and in Magic Bullets. If
you are familiar with it, feel free to skip ahead unless you want
a quick review. For those of you who are new, this section will
get you up to speed on some of the basic concepts and
terminology that will be used throughout the rest of the book.

The Emotional Progression Model, as it currently exists, was


developed by many men simultaneously and rigorously testing,
evaluating, and sharing tactics and techniques to attract
beautiful women. This makes us sound like technicians in lab
coats, but in actuality we were just doing what we would have
been doing anyway – going out and meeting women – except
that pooling our knowledge made us more successful with
every night.

Women and Emotional States


One over-arching principle that we recognized very early on
was that most women tend to make decisions about men,
dating, and sex based on their emotions rather than logic.
This is why men who are successful with women espouse the
principle “change her mood, not her mind” when they want a
woman to do something.

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007

ROUTINES

While this is not an original breakthrough, the implications we


discovered from this are quite profound: the emotional triggers
that govern women’s decision–making are fairly consistent
across different ages, cultures, and characters. Put another
way, women’s personalities differ from each other as much as
PHQ¶VDQGWKHVSHFL¿FWDFWLFVWKDW\RXXVHVKRXOGEHDGMXVWHG
to relate to a woman’s unique qualities…but, the emotions you
need to unlock and some of the steps you need to take to get
there are surprisingly consistent. At the simplest level, your
best chances of beginning a sexual relationship with a woman
is to trigger four broad emotional states in her:

• Attraction: Feeling that your social value (a concept fully


explained in the book Magic Bullets) is equal or greater
than hers.

‡4XDOL¿FDWLRQ )HHOLQJ WKDW VKH¶V VSHFLDO WR \RX RU WKDW


she’s earned your attention.

• Comfort: Feeling comfort and connection with you.

• Seduction: Feeling aroused by your touch without


awkwardness or embarrassment.

Women need these four emotions in varying proportions, but,


while there are exceptions, most women need some measure
of all four.

Emotions in the Correct Sequence


A second major implication is that it’s easiest to create these
HPRWLRQV LQ D ZRPDQ LQ WKDW VSHFL¿F RUGHU 6RPH RI WKLV
is pretty intuitive. For example, we know that few women

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
9
ROUTINES

could “feel aroused by your touch without awkwardness or


embarrassment” (Seduction) before they “feel comfort and
connection with you” (Comfort).

What most men do when they meet a woman whom they


don’t know but are interested in is to ask questions and look
for commonalities. These men ask “where are you from?”
and “what do you do?” and dozens of similar questions. What
they are doing is trying to build comfort. The reason why this
doesn’t work is that women aren’t generally looking to build
comfort with men they don’t know, or, if they do, they tend
to think of these men as belonging in the dreaded “let’s–just–
be–friends” zone.

We cover other reasons why these emotions, in this order, are


the crucial ones in Chapters 4–10 of Magic Bullets, the ground-
breaking book on the subject of dating and seduction for men.
To avoid the trap of “easier said than done,” Magic Bullets
also provides detailed step–by–step instructions and tactics to
explain how to develop each of these emotional states within
a woman – without gimmicks or pickup lines.

The Full Emotional Progression Model


As powerful as these four steps are, they are not enough by
themselves. It’s rare that you can walk up to a beautiful woman
and be given enough time and attention to build real attraction,
let alone all four key emotions. Similarly, your interaction with
a woman does not end the moment Seduction begins. Our
experience allowed us to apply these three “practical” steps to
go with the four “emotional” ones. Putting these all together,
we get the full Emotional Progression Model:

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007

ROUTINES

1. Approaching
2. Transitioning
3. Attraction
4XDOL¿FDWLRQ
5. Comfort
6. Seduction
7. Relationships

Let’s take a quick look at these three new phases:

Approaching is the skill of starting a conversation with a


woman you don’t know in a way that gets her attention. It’s a
crucial one to master. Extremely beautiful women (remember,
Love Systems is designed for highly–desirable women) have
men approaching them all the time. It’s been estimated that
a normal, attractive, outgoing 25–year old, for example, has
been approached by men approximately 5,000 times in her
life. These women are quite adept at brushing men off and
will generally not give you a chance unless your skills are
top–notch.

Transitioning answers the question of “what do you do


next?” Men usually become adept at approaching fairly
quickly, but often “don’t know what to say” one or two minutes
into the conversation with a woman whom they don’t know.
Transitioning is a skill that brings the conversation to a place
where you can attract her instead of taking the unproductive
route of asking her questions about herself (which is an attempt
to build comfort too early).

be somewhere in between. Again, through experience and
testing, we’ve been able to create a system of tactics and
techniques that allow you to guide a woman to wanting the
same form of relationship that you do, or to just have a one-
night stand without expectations. What do with your skill set
is up to you.

To learn more about the Emotional Progression Model go to


www.magicbulletsbook.com.

Here is a brief summary of some of the terms you will encounter


LQWKLVERRNDORQJZLWKGH¿QLWLRQV

Approaching – Initiating a conversation with a woman or a


group. Also known as opening.

Approach Anxiety – The feeling of nervousness most men


experience before approaching a woman they don’t know.

Cold Approach – Approaching a woman (or a group) whom


you don’t know and starting a conversation.

Cold Read – Making an observation or statement about a


stranger’s traits based on what you observe. Initially used by
magicians and psychics it traditionally involves techniques to
convince another person that the reader knows much more
about a subject than they actually do.

Congruence – Consistency of behavior to identity. If you


display personality trait X, congruence requires you act in a
manner consistent with someone with that personality trait.

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007
12
ROUTINES

'LVTXDOL¿HU – Something you say or do that implies that you


are not romantically or sexually interested in a woman.

Embedding – The process of communicating something, usually


positive qualities about yourself, in the context of appearing to
be talking about something else.

Frame – The context under which an interaction takes place. If


a woman touches you and you playfully remove her hand and
say “no touching this early,” your frame is that she is trying
to get physical with you. Her frame may be entirely different.
The dominant person’s frame will usually take precedence.

Mixed Group – A group of people interacting with each other


that includes both men and women.

Physical Escalation – A process that takes place throughout


an interaction where we use physical contact to move things
from simple conversation towards a more physically intimate
direction. Generally physical escalation begins as playful and
innocent, then gradually becomes more romantic, then sexual,
ultimately culminating in sexual intimacy.

Rapport – Commonality of perspective, being in “sync” and


on the same “wavelength” as the person to whom you are
talking.

Transitioning – The act of seamlessly extending the conversation


off of the initial opening topic into other areas thereby continuing
the conversation in an unforced way.

ROUTINES

Value (male) – How desirable you are to a given woman based


on what she’s learned about you.

Value (female) – A woman’s perception of how desirable she


is to men in general.

Chapter 2
Openers

Opening is the act of beginning a conversation with a woman


or group of people who you don’t already know.

There are a number of ways to do this, varying from the casual


and sly to the bold and direct. The most important thing to
remember is that despite all the weight put on opening by
many guys, it is not a big deal. With the pressure taken off,
the simple act of starting a conversation should be successful
nearly 100% of the time. It’s what you do in the few minutes
after the opener that matters most in terms of the impression
you will make on a woman; not necessarily what you open
with. That is why we have the crucial Transitioning phase
(Chapter 3).

Some of the important categories of openers include: indirect,


direct, screening, teasing, and humorous. A full analysis
of these, and other types of openers, can be found in
Magic Bullets; our purpose here is more to organize the various
opening routines you can use.

15
ROUTINES

Indirect Openers
An indirect opener is an opener that does not imply romantic
or sexual interest in a woman. Indirect openers are the most
versatile form of openers we have. They are easy to deliver,
don’t require an inordinate amount of skill, and can be tweaked
for just about any situation. They also avoid making women
uncomfortable and risking an initial loss of value because you
do not have to express overt sexual interest in the woman or
her group.

Just about anything can work as an opinion opener, but


there are certain topics that can make the job easier, such as
relationships, human nature, gossip, fashion, and new age
philosophy. These tend to work very well because they interest
most women. These are the things they think about and talk
about naturally. It’s hard for women to resist responding to
WKHVHWRSLFV&RQYHUVHO\VSRUWV¿VFDOSROLF\DQG&RQWLQHQWDO
philosophy are not good subjects for openers; some women
may respond to these narrow topics, but you are limiting your
success with many others.

The actual content of the responses you get from women after
the opener is not important. You can disregard or integrate
it as you choose, just make sure that you are steering the
interaction in the direction of your choosing and not letting
them hijack the conversation.

Below are some examples of opinion openers. After trying


a couple of these, you should be able to use stories and
situations from your own life and turn them into the same
sorts of openers. They should work just as well.

ROUTINES

For more on creating your own openers, see Chapter 8:


Creating Your Own Routines.

Drunk “I Love You’s”


This is a good opener for moving directly onto the topic of
relationships and setting yourself up for later more detailed
Comfort routines on your philosophies on dating, love, and
relationships.

“Hey, do you guys think drunk “I love you’s” count?”

(They respond.)

“OK, check this out… my friend Nick got really drunk last
night and told his girlfriend that he loved her, then this
morning he took it back. Do you think he meant it?”

(They respond.)

“Here’s my take. When you’re drunk you say things that you
actually mean but are afraid to say, so I told her that he
probably meant it but just need more time to say it sober.”

ROUTINES

Engaged Friend
This opener has a little drama in it and is short and quick for
stimulating interest.

“My friend is about to marry a girl I can’t stand. How do I


tell him not to?”

(They comment.)

“It’s not even that I don’t like her. I get along with her just

ROUTINES

Text Message Breakup


This is a longer routine and most suitable for younger women.

“Is it wrong to break up with someone with a text


message?”

(They will often ask how long you’ve been together.)

“It’s only been like three months. Nothing serious, but I


just received an email from her live–in boyfriend asking me
‘Are you sleeping with my girlfriend?’ I had no idea about
this guy…”

(Here you can go one of two ways based on your assessment


of the woman.)

If she seems like a potential girlfriend:

Follow–On 1 “So, obviously I need to cut her loose but I


don’t want to make a big deal out of it and get into it about
her lying to me and such, so a text message seems like the
easiest solution.”

If she seems more adventurous:

Follow–On 2 “It did seem to be going a little too perfectly.


I usually can’t just sleep with a girl for 3 months without
getting the ‘Let’s make this more serious’ talk. Now I know
why she was able to stay so casual without giving me an
ultimatum.”

admit things they’ve done that are a bit unusual. Use this to
your advantage to “cold read” or “tease” her responses (see
important terms, Chapter 1) and move forward.

“Would you read your boyfriend’s email if you thought he


was cheating on you?”

(They answer.)

“My friend thought his girlfriend was cheating on him so

(They answer.)

“If he breaks up with her out of the blue it’ll seem weird to
everyone. They’ve been together for like two years. But if
he says he read the email, she’ll totally turn it around on
him and make it about the hacking. That’s totally a brilliant
girl tactic. Turning it around on the guy even when you’re
wrong…”

Set Up
This routine demonstrates pre–selection in that you have
friends trying to set you up with people and also that you have
standards and are picky about who you date. The concept of
pre-selection is covered in Chapter 3 of Magic Bullets.

“Hey guys, how do you tell someone you’re not interested


without hurting their feelings?”

(They respond.)

“OK, check this out, I came out with some friends of mine
and my friend Mindy is trying to set me up with her friend,
and she’s cute but she’s just not my type.

What should I say?”

Sinn, Love Systems Instructor

Makeup Opener

This opener is most useful in all-female groups. Because it


leads quickly into playful teasing, it is especially suitable for
extremely attractive women.

“Hey guys, quick question, my friends and I are having a


conversation and can’t decide – can a girl tell when another
girl is wearing make up?”

(They answer Yes/No/Maybe.)

“That’s interesting because we were at drinks with our

(To the woman you want:) “Are you wearing makeup?”

(She responds – usually ‘yes’, especially if in a night club.)

“Oh. OK. I’m sure you’re still pretty.”

OR

“Hold your hand out.” (Slap hand playfully.) “That’s for


cheating.”

Mr. M, Love Systems Instructor

Breast Enlargement
This opener is a bit outrageous so it’s best saved for bars and
clubs and used on women who look like they or their friends
have had or seriously considered having breast enlargement.

“My friend’s girlfriend is planning to have breast enlargement


surgery as her birthday present to him. He doesn’t know
about this and I don’t think he’ll be happy. Should I say
something to her? Or to him?”

(They respond.)

Follow–on 1 “Here’s the thing, I think her real motivation


might be that her sister just got her breasts done and they’ve
always been really competitive. But would someone really

change their body like that just out of jealousy?”

Follow–on 2“I wonder if it’s even my place to say something


because I used to hook up with her sometimes – she’s
really beautiful but not my type, so I introduced her to my
friend. I’ve tried to stay out of their relationship, but I don’t
want either of them to be unhappy.”

Savoy, Love Systems Instructor, Program Leader


Excerpted from Magic Bullets

G–String
This is longer than most indirect openers so be prepared to
talk and tell a good story when you use this one. Don’t use
it in a loud or high-energy environment. Assume familiarity
and just start talking as if you already know them when you
use it.

”Hey guys, you won’t believe what’s going on with a friend


of mine and his girlfriend. They’ve been dating each other
for six months now, and my friend really loves her. But

visit her mother to cool down.

While she was gone, my friend was so depressed, that he ended


up hooking up with some random girl he met in a club.

Anyway, a few days later, his girlfriend comes back, and


VKH¿QGVWKLVJLUO¶VWKRQJLQWKHEDWKURRPDQGVKHNQRZV
the thong isn’t hers.

So she confronts my friend on this, and he lies and says

that the panties are his! And that he secretly likes to dress
up in women’s underwear. So I don’t know if his girlfriend
knew he was lying and just wanted to punish him, or if she
really is into this or not, but she said she thinks that’s really
kinky and turns her on and wants him to wear women’s
underwear around the house.

So he’s been doing this for a few weeks now and is absolutely
miserable!

So I think he should just come clean and let his girlfriend know
what happened. What do you guys think? How important is
trust in a relationship? Or do you think some things should
remain hidden, even if it means being miserable?”

This routine is good for starting to talk about dating and


relationships. You can change the Milan modelling reference

you could reference a business trip or a medical conference.

100% sure if you are serious or not. For example:

Screening Openers
Some openers present a woman with an implied challenge: is
she up to your standards? If she answers or is “compliant” to
your opener, you will be further ahead than if you’d simply used
an opinion opener. However, these openers carry a greater
risk of failure and require your tonality and body language to
be more polished. Here are some of our favorite examples:

•“Is there more to you than meets the eye?”

• “I saw you from over there and wanted to see what you
were like. What are your three best qualities?”

• “What do you have going for you more than your


looks?”

•“Why would I want to get to know you?”

•“What nationality are you?”

Humorous Openers
Humorous openers are neither direct nor indirect. You are
not pretending to have no interest in her, but you are not
hitting on her either. If you are naturally funny, use these
openers frequently. If you are not, check out our Further
Resources (Chapter 10). You can also learn the right delivery
style through trial and error.

Humorous openers are great because the humor acts


as a distraction from women wondering why you have
approached them.

Rich Girl
This opener is good for loud clubs and bars, and for environments
where you don’t want to come across too seriously.

When opening a group of women, walk up and ask:

“Which one of you is the richest?”

Then go further with “OK, you get to be my sugar mama.


But hmm.... We need someone to cook for us. Who is the
best cook?”

You can follow this up by proceeding to give jobs to each


of them.

Female Roommates
This humorous opener is good if you are young yourself and
talking to younger women who are still living in roommate
situations. It requires a decent amount of talking initially so
make sure your presentation skills are up to par.

”I’ve been offered this sweet place in X location… I want to


live there, BUT..... I have to live with four girls. Like four.

I’m going to get four times the boyfriend complaints; I’ll


never get in the fucking bathroom... I’m going to have to start
showering at the truck stop, and you know they’re going to
synchronize. (Smile knowingly.) Heck, I’ll probably start my
period. I’m going to have to leave the house for 5 days a month!

Did you know that’s why primitive civilizations developed


camping? All the women in the tribe would synchronize
and the guys would look up at the moon and be
like ‘The antelope are moving now, we must HUNT.’

Also... living with all those girls, I could get raped. Did you
know that 95% of guys that get date raped commit suicide

“Hi. I’m from – (name of bar/restaurant/parking garage)–


quality control. I’d like to know if your experience with
us has been average, bettter than average, or crappier
than average?”

At this point, most women will play along and give you a funny

“crappier than average” communicates to the women that this
is just a fun little game.

It implies that you are not hitting on the women you are
talking to while simultaneously acting as a demonstration of
value if you make them laugh. Only use this opener if the
women are smiling and have a fun vibe.

This is risky, but can be effective. And it’s pretty good for just
entertaining yourself if you are sick of opinion openers.

“Hey guys, quick question. I have three child support


payments to make and I can only afford to pay one because
I like the track… And those kids don’t appreciate shit

At this point, they’re probably curious if you’re serious or


not. This is where you keep upping the ante with questions
like the following:

”Would your answer change if I told you she was


underage?”

”Would your answer change if I told you she was my


sister?”

And so on.

Eventually they will get that your story is a joke. This is when
you congratulate them on keeping up with you and having a
sense of humor. Then you can say your secretary is really a fat
40 year old man called Bubba. Often, they’ll ask what you do;
if they do, you’re already in the Attraction phase (Chapter 4).

This is a very advanced opener, and serves no purpose unless


you already have very strong game. Savoy invented it to keep
himself from getting bored running the same openers again

Transitioning

The most recent addition to the Emotional Progression Model


is that of a Transition phase between Opening and Attraction.
There are several types of transitions; these are covered in
Magic Bullets. However, only “observational transitions” really
lend themselves to routines.

The key is to notice something about them and use that to


FKDQJH WKH WRSLF RI FRQYHUVDWLRQ 7KLV MXVWL¿HV VWD\LQJ DQG
continuing the conversation without appearing to be “trying

Cold Reads
A cold read is an observation about someone’s personality
based on truisms about human nature or on something you
observe about them. The more often you do this, the better
and more accurate you will get. Learn to improvise from the
ensuing banter and then transition into conventional Attraction
routines (Chapter 4) to move the interaction forward.

The most basic example of a good cold read is to take two


women’s responses to your opener and say:

“Ah, so you’re the good one and you’re the bad one.”

This will immediately prompt them to agree or disagree,


allowing you to engage them in a more personal conversation
that has moved forward from the topic of the opener.

Other examples:

“Interesting… Firm handshake, limp handshake… She’s the


dominant one I guess.”

One of the insights of the Emotional Progression Model is that
men often don’t realize when a woman is attracted early on
in the interaction. To test for this we sometimes test if she is

“pings,” are optional, but provide a potential shortcut. For
example:

“What nationality are you?”

“What are your three best qualities?”

“What do you have going for you more than your looks?”

“How tall are you?”

Again, an early attempt to skip to the 4XDOL¿FDWLRn phase is


optional and advanced. There’s no need to try this until you

of the Emotional Progression Model.

If a woman doesn’t respond enthusiastically to your early

should simply move into the Attraction phase (Chapter 4).

Well, you totally remind me of a friend of mine I met while
travelling Australia. This girl is like your doppelganger. Her

Chapter 4

Attraction

The Attraction phase is where things get exciting. You’ve


already approached her. You’ve transitioned the conversation
from her wondering “why is this guy talking to me?” to “I’m
having a conversation with him.” Now we need to get her
to take the next step in her mind, which is: “I’m attracted
to him.”

There are a number of things you can do to attract a woman. The


book Magic Bullets goes over the different major characteristics
that attract women and explains why and how they work. We
don’t have time to go over all of them and how and why they
work, but we can list them here:

• Foundations

• Health
• Social Intuition
• Humor

• Attributes

• Wealth
• Status

ROUTINES

• Outcomes

• &RQ¿GHQW
• Pre-selected
• Challenging

Routines are one tool that you can use to convey these
characteristics. Sometimes this will be through what you say.
For example, you can tell a story about something that happened
to you that subtly communicates that you have status. We
cover this in the Bonus Chapter on Storytelling (Chapter 9).
Sometimes it will be through how you say it. Being able to
capture a group’s attention and have it focused on you (in
a positive way) demonstrates social skills and strong social
intuition. Humor also plays a big role, and you’ll see that many
of the routines in this chapter are designed to be humorous.
Some routines also give you a chance to demonstrate your

eight qualities.

“Really… Have you done any acting? Because it’s quite

having an expressive face. Looks and training are obviously
important, but an expressive face is crucial.

“Anyway, she would keep on applying for serious parts, but

sort of plastic surgery.

(They respond.)

“Well it’s kind of a secret… OK I got a penis implant. They


doubled my size; I’m 4 inches now.”

This routine can go on for 10–15 minutes with the women


asking to see your implant. If they are pretty heated up,
sometimes they’ll try pulling down your pants. You can just
tease them if you want or you can go ahead and whip it out if
you are so inclined.

This is a good way to turn things sexual under the veil of


humor. Start talking about what they’ve had done. If there
is a good sexual vibe going, squeeze their butts or boobs to
“check” if they are real. Say you think a woman’s lips are fake
and use that as an excuse to kiss her. The possibilities are
endless.

Personal vs. Relationship Qualities


This is primarily an Attraction routine, but can also be used as
a transition (Chapter 3) after an opinion opener (Chapter 2)
dealing with relationships. It also allows you to hear her ideas
on dating, which may help you make decisions about where
you want things to go with her.

“My friend has this theory about relationships. He (or she)


says that there are personal qualities and relationship
qualities.

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007

ROUTINES

Personal qualities are the things that make you attracted to a


person, ‘Are they charming? Funny? Attractive? Charismatic?
That sort of thing. It’s what draws you to them.

Relationship qualities are things like, ‘Are they loyal? Do


they show up on time? Do they not sleep with your best
friend.’ Stuff like that.

When you date someone with personal qualities and no


relationship qualities, it’s passionate but chaotic and unstable.

When you have someone with relationship qualities and


less personal qualities, they are reliable and trustworthy,
but boring as hell.

Use this routine on a friend of the woman you are interested

“It didn’t end well though... her family just moved away,

The Self–Conscious Compliment


Find something you think she may be a little self–conscious
about and bring it up. Here are a couple of examples:

“Omigod! I just noticed that!”

(She asks what.)

“How adorable!”

(Now she really wants to know.)

³<RXKDYHWKHFXWHVWOLWWOHRYHUELWH´

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007

ROUTINES

(She blushes and covers her face with both hands.)

Or another example:

³<RXNQRZ,GLGQ¶WHYHQKHDUDZRUG\RXMXVWVDLGEHFDXVH
I’ve been looking at...wait, smile again.”

(She can’t help but smile and she’s also starting to feel
self–conscious like maybe you saw something nasty in her
teeth or something.)

“Oh....my....god...you have the....cutest little....crooked


smile!”

To make more of these, think about what things make women


feel a little bit self-conscious:

฀Height
฀Unusual smiles
฀Braces
฀Red hair
฀Freckles
฀Beauty marks

The purpose here is to:

1) Make her feel a bit self–conscious, thereby knocking her out


of her normal social program. If she is beautiful, her normal
social program probably includes men who compliment and
worship her. This changes that dynamic.

2) Communicate to her that you genuinely like her.

3) Activate old pair-bond anchors, because in a relationship


DZRPDQZLOORIWHQPHQWLRQWKRVHVSHFL¿FLQVHFXULW\SRLQWV
to her boyfriend. Most boyfriends respond with something
like: “Baby, I love that about you.” By conveying the same
sort of message, you can begin to create the same kind
of bond.

It’s really important to only mention things she may be a bit


self-conscious about. Stay away from major issues like breast
size, weight, scars, etc.

Mock Indignance
In this routine, you pretend to get mad at her and act angrier
that you really are. You take something that a woman says
that can be misinterpreted and over-react to it on purpose. For
example, if she says that she doesn’t like a song that’s playing:

“Oh…so you’re one of the ones… who…”

Director Routine
Use the Director Routine on a group so they end up seeking
your approval and following your lead. This builds attraction.
To deliver this kind of routine, you should be high-energy.

act out. For example:

Stripper Name
This is a fantastic routine to use after exchanging names with
a woman. It also gives you an opportunity for “call-back
humor,” which is very useful if you plan to get her phone
number and call her later. When you call and refer to her
by her “boy name” or “stripper name,” she should laugh and
return to the same emotional state as when you two met and
had fun together. You should also call her by one of these
names for the rest of the night.

“I was just talking to my dad today and he told me that if

This is a great follow-up to the Eye Accessing Cues Transition
routine (Chapter 3) and is similar in style. It’s great because
it creates a win/win situation. If you get it right, you’ve
displayed intuitiveness. If you get it wrong, you still have
the opportunity to teach her something interesting and have
learned something about her.

“Tell me four things about yourself. Three are true and one
is a lie. I’ll guess which is which.”

(Right or wrong, she is involved and offering information


about herself. Then explain:)

“The basic idea is that when a person looks to the right they
are constructing an idea and when they look to the left they
are recalling something that has actually happened. Since
a lie is essentially a mental construction, people will often
access that part of the brain when trying to come up with a
lie and will look to the right. Interesting, huh?”

You can also move right into the Eye Accessing Cues Transition
routine (Chapter 3) from earlier and/or proceed to use
what you learned to make cold reads or have new things to
talk about.

the mood and creates great opportunities for teasing and
call-back humor. Also, you can take the woman you are talking
to and move her around the venue as you play the game, to
point out various people. This allows other women in the
venue to see you with women (implying pre-selection) and
may also give you an opportunity to be alone with her.

Answering Questions
If you are demonstrating the qualities that we went over in the
beginning of this chapter, which these Attraction routines are
designed to help you do, women will often show their interest
by asking you, personal questions. Answering these directly
may reduce the energy and tension of your interaction. When
these questions pop up in the Attraction phase, one strategy
LVWR¿UVWJLYHDIXQQ\DQVZHUWKHQZKHQWKH\DVNDJDLQWR
give the real answer. You can come off as insecure or insincere
if you avoid giving a real answer at some point.

A good universal answer to almost any question is: “Guess.”

especially useful toward the end, since it changes the tone of
your conversation to you “screening” her which is what you’ll
be doing more in the 4XDOL¿FDWLRQSKDVe (Chapter 5). Still,
this routine is light and should not come across seriously. It
lets her know that you are screening her for intelligence and
that you have standards. If she fails, just make light of it,
but don’t go overboard.

(To her friend) “I need to know if this girl is smart, what


do you think?”

Misinterpretation / Role Reversal


A powerful tool for building attraction is to misinterpret things
a woman says as her expressing romantic or sexual interest
in you. Doing this demonstrates humor and shows that you
are unique and challenging, thereby accessing two of the
“attraction switches” discussed at the beginning of this chapter.
Most of the time, these misinterpretations involve you playing
the traditional “female” role, which can frame her into the
traditional male role of trying to attract you and lead you to a
sexual and/or romantic relationship. Don’t go overboard with
this dynamic; it loses its effectiveness with excessive use.

Framing and frame control are crucial concepts in Love


Systems. For a more detailed breakdown of how to use these
to your advantage, check out Sinn and Savoy’s groundbreaking
interview on the subject (www.LoveSystems.com/cd5 on CD
or www.LoveSystems.com/cb5 for immediate download).

ROUTINES

Role-playing Routines in Attraction


Role-playing routines involve giving people, usually including
yourself, characters or situations to act out. Done playfully,
this can lead a woman on an emotional journey and build
attraction.

Role-playing gets women out of the “here and now.” Most men
don’t do this, and limit themselves to conversations about the
immediate environment or each other. With role-playing, you
are limited only by your imagination. This also allows a woman
to take on a role and say or do things that she might otherwise
resist. A good role-play is like your own mini Halloween.

These routines allow a woman to be much more emotional


than logical. This is to your advantage, since attraction,
especially for women, is based on emotion, not logic. Most
men don’t know this, and don’t know how to lead a woman on
an emotional journey. Doing so will allow you to stand out and
be more successful.

Examples:
Sizzler Date

“I am going to take you on a romantic date... to the Sizzler.


And you can order anything on the menu. Even the $6
steak.”

Improvise from here (with all of these routines). Get her


involved in the role-play.

Physical Escalation Routines


Physical escalation is the process of touching a woman and
making her used to physical contact with you. We start
touching initially out of social playfulness and move steadily
towards more intimate sexual touching that ultimately leads
to sex.

Touching should start at the very beginning of the conversation,


DQG LQWHQVLI\ DV \RXU HPRWLRQDO FRQQHFWLRQ LQWHQVL¿HV 7KH
level of touching normally goes through a progression. For
example: playful shoves and handshakes, then sitting close
with legs touching, then hand holding, then kissing, then
embracing, and so on.

We put these routines in the Attraction chapter, because


most can create the hot/cold, push/pull, punishment/reward
dynamic that can help get a woman interested in you. However,
physical escalation is a process that starts within seconds of
meeting a woman, and continues right up until sex. Here
are some sequentially escalating physical escalation tactics to
build your arsenal:

Pushing
Any sort of pushing and playful shoving is a great way to
initiate your initial touching. If a woman says something silly,
sarcastic or lame, laugh and push her on the arm or shoulder...
gently.

Important: Make the touching playful and fun. Otherwise you


will creep her out. Always be smiling when you do this.

ROUTINES

As an opener: This can also be used as an opener. Simply


push a girl gently and look away like it wasn’t you. If she
pushes you back you probably have some initial attraction.
Proceed.

Hug/Push

Hand Slap

curtsey and gently slap it. Then say:

TV Test
This is a great routine to transition from being playful to getting
a woman imagining the two of you together as a couple. It’s also
a role-play routine. Your tone should still be fun and light.

Take the woman in your arms so that you are hugging her,
but she is facing away from you, and you are both looking
in the same direction.

“So, we’re on my couch. We’ve known each other for six


months now and we’re watching television. What are we
watching?”

Depending on her answer and how enthusiastically she


responds to the hug, you can choose to reward or punish her.

To reward her, congratulate her on her taste. You can even


move into some 4XDOL¿FDWLRQURXWLQHs (Chapter 5).

To punish her (if she says something silly or she is stiff and
unenthusiastic about the routine) shove her away playfully
and say:

“Grey’s Anatomy?! (or whatever her choice was) We’re


breaking up…”

Spin Move
Use this routine to reward a woman for something, to move
her a short distance inside the venue, or just for the heck of it.
Say:³*LYHPH\RXUKDQG´ Take it and raise it over her head
and use it to playfully spin her around, ballroom dance style.

The Spin Move, Adapted to Steal Her Spot


The previous routine can also be used to steal a woman’s
seat or spot at the bar and/or to plant yourself more solidly
into her group. Take a position inside her group whenever
possible, rather than getting stuck standing in open space like
a stranger.

1) Tell one of the women, ³*ROLNHWKLV´ And hold your hand


out straight ahead with the wrist bent. This is a “compliance
test.” You want her to imitate your hand gesture.

2) If she doesn’t cooperate, this means that you didn’t have


enough attraction yet. You need to demonstrate more value
using Attraction material and routines from this chapter.

3) If she does cooperate, she will hold her hand out to match
yours. Take her hand and say, “Now do a little spin.” This
is another compliance test.

4) If she complies, pull her toward you, spin her around and
step into her former spot. Now you are leaning against
the bar in a power position instead of her, and she is
facing you with her back to the room.

ROUTINES

5) With a playful attitude say, “Oh!” like you just tricked her
and she fell for it. If you do it right, she’ll be laughing or
punching your arm and calling you a jerk. Run another
routine to keep her logical mind occupied and continue
stimulating her with Attraction material.

Spin Test
A variation on these spin moves allows you to get into
4XDOL¿FDWLRn (Chapter 5) a little bit. Extend your hand to shake
hands, hold her hand way in the air and say, “Now spin.”

If she does, you know that she is interested in you, or that


she’s just a compliant kind of woman; you can proceed in
either case. When she lands from the spin, break into Thumb
Wrestling (earlier in this chapter) immediately.

If she does not spin, say:

“Wow. That was the fun test, and you just totally failed.
Watch. She looks fun...”

Turn to another woman in the group –– as long as it’s not


the one you are interested in –– and spin her. She will
usually agree to the fun test because she doesn’t want to
be thought of as “not fun.”

Look disapprovingly at the girl who didn’t spin and say:

³2ND\\RX¶UHWDNLQJWKHWUXVWWHVW«*LYHPH\RXUKDQGV´

Put your palms up for her to take them.

1) Squeeze her hands. If she squeezes back, she passes.

2) Lower your hands, and if she follows with her hands,


she passes.

Then tell her if she passed or failed and that this tells you a
lot about her ability to connect with and trust people.

From then on she will generally be more responsive to physical


escalation.

locations, (e.g. to go to the bar, to go somewhere quieter to
sit down, etc.) offer your elbow and lead her, arm in arm. It’s
fairly innocent.

Later, when you move again and you have (hopefully) built
up some comfort and intimacy, stand and offer your hand and
lead her across the venue holding hands. This implies greater
commitment and signals non–verbally that the relationship
has moved forward.

Piggy Back

attracted to you, and social, nighttime environments. Move


her a few feet from her group and say:

“Stand on this chair…I’m going to give you a piggy


back ride.”

Then take her somewhere private within the venue or even


walk right out the front door and go for a walk.

You don’t need to ask her friends for permission in this case.
This maneuver happens so fast and appears so weird that
they will seldom protest.

Tap Cheek for Kiss


If a woman is already attracted to you and (ideally) you and
her are alone, then take a couple of opportunities to pause,
lean in a bit, tap your cheek, and wait for her to kiss it. Do
this after she compliments you or after you do something cool,
like deliver a great cold read.

Do this in a fun spirit. Don’t imply neediness, and don’t


kiss her cheek back unless she asks. She usually won’t, and

The “cheek kiss” builds momentum toward a full makeout.


This can become especially powerful if you and her are doing
something involving repeated and somewhat unpredictable
events. For example, if you and her are playing blackjack,
point at your cheek every time you win a hand. Say “for
luck” if she seems hesitant – do this immediately and don’t

of this, but when you get blackjack, you can turn your head
slightly when she comes in for the kiss. Don’t make out with
her, unless she’s obviously ready; a peck on the lips is enough
to move the momentum forward. You’re almost assured of
being able to make out with her later.

You can use the same structure if you are both playing a trivia
game at a bar. Get a cheek kiss every time you get a question
right and turn your head for a lip peck after an infrequent
positive event, like winning the game.

Chapter 5
4XDOL¹FDWLRQ

Women become attracted to men all the time. A woman


doesn’t have the time necessary to get to know every guy she
is attracted to. So when you have good Attraction skills, you
will be able to get a woman’s real phone number in a short
amount of time.

However, when you call her afterward, there is a difference in


thinking between men and women.

Him: “She gave me her number, so she’s interested in


me.”

Her: “He was attractive but why would I see him again?
Why is he calling me he doesn’t even know anything about
me. He must be desperate or just want sex. I don’t feel like
having sex. I’m not going to call him back.”

you again, or to have her willing to invest herself emotionally
and build comfort with you (the next phase of the Emotional
Progession Model), you need to convince her that you like her
for reasons other than her looks and sexuality. Ideally, those

characteristics of her personality. Many beautiful women are


accustomed to men being interested in them without having
to actually do anything. This is true even though what most
really want is a man who is challenging her, and who has
enough standards and experience with beautiful women that
he is not won over by her looks alone.

This is why we look for non-physical things as “reasons” to


EHDWWUDFWHG<RXFDQ¿QGWKHVHE\DVNLQJKHUTXHVWLRQVRU
through statements that are essentially hoops for her to jump
through. Of course, if she has already told you a bit about
herself, look for positive qualities there and start with those.

If you are using hoops (see below for examples), start by

TXHVWLRQVWKDWDVNKHUWRFRQ¿UPRUGHQ\WKDWVKHSRVVHVVHV
DVSHFL¿FFKDUDFWHULVWLFXVXDOO\RQHWKDWPRVWZRPHQZDQWWR
think of themselves as having. She should be able to answer
yes to a small hoop without thinking. For example: “Are you
adventurous,” “are you smart,” “are you a good friend?”

Medium hoops require a little more effort on her part and are
EHWWHUWHVWVRIKHULQWHUHVWLQ\RX,IDZRPDQLVQRWVXI¿FLHQWO\
attracted, she won’t respond to your medium hoops. In that
case, go back to the Attraction phase (Chapter 4) and try
again in a few minutes. For example, if you ask her, “What
nationality are you?” she might show her lack of attraction by
refusing to jump through your hoop and answering with: “I’m
a mutt.”

Large hoops usually make it obvious that you are “screening”


her and that you are asking her to convince you that she is up
to your standards. Don’t say this explicitly of course. If she

ROUTINES

is attracted to you and you have built momentum from her


jumping through smaller- and medium-sized hoops, she will
usually jump through a large hoop as well. If she isn’t or you
haven’t, then she probably won’t.

The result of her jumping through hoops is that you will be


able to show interest in her and give her compliments. For
example: ³2KP\JRVK\RX¶UH*HUPDQ,ORYH*HUPDQJLUOV

The compliment, like the hoop, should be non-generic and


QRQSK\VLFDO7KHPRUHLQGHSWKDQGVSHFL¿F\RXFDQEHWKH
more she will feel that she has genuinely earned your interest,
and, consequently, that you are the type of man who deserves
her emotional investment. Let her understand why you like a
given quality of hers, as in the above example, without going
overboard.

Sometimes compliments “hang” and create an awkward


feeling. You can counteract this by spacing out your hoops
with normal conversation so that they don’t come one after
another. You should also sometimes release the tension after
a compliment with a non-sequitur tease, something along the
lines of: “Too bad you’re such a dork!”

Keep this process going even after she passes a large hoop

keep giving her reasons that you like her... forever. When you

Much of the above theory and structure, as well as many

Small Hoops:
• “So who are you?”
• “What do you do for fun?”

• “Are you spontaneous?”
• “Are you a good friend?”

Medium Hoops:

• “If you could go anywhere in the world, where would

• “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
• “What nationality are you?”
• “If you could do anything in the world without fear of

Large Hoops:

• “What are 3 reasons I would want to get to know


you?”
• “What would your friends say about you?”
• “OK, now teach me something interesting…” (After
having done a killer routine)
• “What are your three best qualities?”
• “If you had to pick one thing that makes life worth
living, what would it be?”
• “Is there more to you than meets the eye?”
• “If everyone looked the same what would make you
stand out?”
• “Who are you?” (emphasize the word ”are”)

Statements of Interest
Use statements of interest after she jumps through a large
hoop, or after a medium hoop that she gives a great answer
to. You may have to “release” in the latter case, as discussed
in the introduction to this chapter.

This is an oft-neglected area of dating science. So many


men are hung up on being a challenge that they forget to
tell a woman that they like her when the time is right. This is
an extremely important thing to remember to do, especially
when you obviously both like each other. If you do it too early,
it’s a big mistake, but once she’s clearly expressed a romantic

Comfort

The vast majority of time you spend with a woman before


your relationship becomes physical will probably be spent
in the Comfort phase. Once you’ve mastered the Opening,
Transitioning, Attraction and 4XDOL¿FDWLRn, the consistency
of whether you develop anything further will depend on the
power of your Comfort skills.

You’ve probably noticed that the further along we get in the


Emotional Progression Model, the less “generic” (applicable to
virtually all men or virtually all women) the routines become.
When you are opening or transitioning, you don’t need to
account for your of her individuality at all. By the time you

woman’s unique personality and characteristics, and you do
so from the perspective of what you, as a unique individual,
value in a woman.

The result of this is that you are unavoidably going to need to


develop your own style for the Comfort phase. You need to

atmosphere by this point, and she is giving you her sustained


attention. Because the Comfort phase is usually longer,
routines should be more spaced out, with long stretches of
“normal” conversation between them.

Comfort routines should reveal personal things about you


and be more “real” than the shorter more showy Attraction
routines you ran earlier. Let your guard down but keep in
mind to stay away from saying anything that demonstrates

building a connection and exchanging personal information
with a woman. The “game” itself is irrelevant; take advantage
of opportunities to tell stories or follow conversations down
paths that allow you and her to build comfort and intimacy.
Probe deeper on some of her answers. When you exhaust a
topic, you can always return to the game by saying “Okay,
whose turn was it again?”

“I have a fun way to get to know new people… It’s called the

Ask personal questions. Don’t be shy. Don’t be afraid to


UHMHFWKHUTXHVWLRQVLIWKH\DUHLQVXI¿FLHQWO\LQWHUHVWLQJOLNH
if she asks you your sign or how many siblings you have.

It’s not a bad idea to introduce sexuality into the game, but
watch for her cues. If you ask a sexual question and her next
question isn’t sexual, then back off the sexuality for a bit.

Here are some sample questions to get you started:

• “Tell me a secret.”
• “If you could change one thing about yourself, what
would it be?”
• “When is the last time you felt jealous?”

Sexual questions:

• “What is the craziest place you’ve ever had sex?”


• ³<RX¶UHORXGLQEHGDUHQ¶W\RX"´
• “What’s your favorite place to be touched?”
• “What’s your favorite sexual position?”

Strawberry Fields
This routine is an interactive thought experiment, in which a
woman’s answers supposedly reveal aspects of her personality,
like a Rorschach test. However, the goal is not to be “accurate,”
but rather to create emotional states in a woman that will
make her feel comfortable, sexual, and interested in getting

You can either explain that Strawberry Fields is a psychological


experiment, or you can just jump into it.

“Okay… so you’re walking along the street and you come


XSRQDVWUDZEHUU\¿HOG+RZKLJKLVWKHIHQFH"´

(She answers or usually shows with her hands.)

“Hmm... interesting… Ok, you get inside, how many


strawberries do you eat?”

(No matter what she says as long as it is 2 or more, say…)

“Omigod! X number! (shaking your head)<RXDUHVRRRR


EDDDG,FRXOG1(9(5WDNH\RXKRPHWRPRP´

(She will frantically ask, “What?!” No matter what she does,


do not answer.)

“Now, what about the farmer?”

(She’ll say, “What farmer?” or “Did he see?” or something


of the like. At this point, look down and smile and just
shake your head like you can’t believe it...)

By now, she’ll be begging you to tell her. Here’s some basic


interpretation to use each time:

Fence: ³<RX KDYH KLJK JRDOV DQG DVSLUDWLRQV EXW QRW VR
high that you can’t reach them...” (Continue, and improvise
here.)

Number of Strawberries: ³<RXVDLG[x–number], you baaad


girl, that is your sex drive. Most people say [much smaller
number than she chose] but you said [X] – oh, have mercy,
I’d never get any rest!”

The Farmer: “He has to do with society’s rules and


expectations on relationships. So you just go with your
feelings and don’t allow other people to run your life.”

Basically, you are telling her that she is highly sexual and that
she follows her feelings and not what society or her friends
tell her to do. She will likely want to live up to this, and it will
make her more comfortable with and responsive to sexual
intimacy later.

Her friends may ask you to do this routine on them later.


Try not to. If you have to do something, substitute another
similar routine like 4 Questions or Family Room, which are
given below.

4 Questions
4 Questions is another “psychological test” that you can use to
discover things about her personality. If your reading of her is
accurate, she’ll be amazed. If it’s not, it still gets her to share
information about herself. It’s a win/win situation.

earlier in this chapter, the object is not to give an “accurate”


reading, especially based on an unproven psychological test.
Rather, the goal is to help her feel connected, understood, and
sexual. Make sure your “analysis” of her responses advances
you toward this aim.

For example, assume she gave the following responses:

1. White Room. Her responses: “Peaceful, calm, relaxed.”

3. Favorite Animal. Her responses: “Dolphin – smart, free,

2. ³7KDWLVKRZ\RXVHH\RXUVHOISDVVLRQDWH¿HU\\RXIHHO

3. “People see you as free, smart cute, fun.”
4. ³7KDWLV\RXUYLHZRIORYHDQGVH[<RX¿QG\RXUVHOIZDQWLQJ

and the deep connection you can experience.”

Family Room
This is a great routine to use when you’ve started sharing
information about your backgrounds and family history. It’s
similar to Strawberry Fields from earlier in this chapter.

(Ask the woman to relax.)

“Imagine a room with no windows and no doors but with a


front and a back. Now think about your family members.
Choose a family member and put that person in the room
somewhere.”

(Then have her do this with all of her other family members
too, one at a time, and describe where they are in
the room.)

The interpretation is as follows:

“The placement in the room can be quite telling about


the relationship of the family member to the others. For
example, nearer to the front means that the person is either
the more dominant member or a pioneer in the family.
Closer to the back indicates the opposite. The proximity of
people to each other indicates closeness and vice versa.”

“The second is… that your eyes remind me of my little cousin.


She’s one of my favorite people.” (Modify as appropriate.)

“And the third I’m not going to tell you because you’re going

Then no matter how much she begs and pleads for you to tell
her what it is; don’t ever say. Months later she may still ask
you. Just smile and don’t say a thing.

“Hey, have you ever been so excited that you couldn’t go

ROUTINES

(She answers.)

“It’s funny because last night I tried really hard but I was
so excited that I just couldn’t sleep. Now normally this only
happens like the day before a big gig or show or something
but this time I guess it was just because some days you feel
like you’re the king of the world and everything works out
for you, right? It actually became quite a dilemma though
because even though I really enjoyed the feeling, I couldn’t
go to sleep. I wanted to sleep, but I also wanted to keep that
good feeling. So I ended up playing guitar for an hour in the
middle of the night before going happily to sleep… and came
up with some new material for a song I’ve been working on.
Felt really amazing to have this burst of creativeness in the
middle of the pitch black night when you are supposed to
sleep. Ever had one of those days? Feels good, doesn’t it?”

Obviously, this routine is tailored to Rokker’s individual


identity. Many Comfort routines will be like this, for reasons
explained in the introduction to this chapter. You will have to
adapt them to your unique identity. To get you on the right
track for doing this, we created a more “generic” version of
the same routine.

“Hey, have you ever been so excited that you couldn’t go


to sleep?”

(She answers.)

“It’s funny because last night I tried really hard but I found
myself smiling and being excited that I just couldn’t sleep.

Now that you see how to adapt the masters’ personal routines

This routine is an excellent example of how to communicate


a personal philosophy on life, and help you create something
that is based on your real beliefs. There is also tons of sub-
communication in this routine. It communicates that you are
spiritual, that you set ambitious goals for yourself, that you are
one of the successful alpha males of the world, that you are
attractive, that you’ve dated runway models, that you have
a lot of experience with beautiful women, that you’re great
in bed and can be attentive afterwards, and so on. You also
frame her as being sexually open, which is great. Obviously,
you’ll want to modify this routine to make it relate to your own
life and experiences.

Drugs vs. Touch Routine:


This is a good routine for a quiet area (because it’s long) in a
loud, crazy nightclub (because of its subject matter). It lets
you utilize the environment to begin building a more serious
connection in the face of all these distractions.

“Man... Look at all the people drinking water around here.


A friend of mine was really into the scene and he said that
people drinking water all the time in these kind of clubs are
usually on drugs...

It’s actually quite interesting. A side effect of the drugs is


it makes you feel affectionate, you want to be touched, you
enjoy and seek touch much more than without them. When
we are born and are still babies, we get lots of touch, we
need lots of touch to develop and grow in the right way.

I read about this study decades ago where they took ten
newborn babies and isolated each of them in a separate
cell. The babies had everything they needed to survive,
they got fed by their mother´s milk, they had medical care,
everything... But no one was allowed to speak to them, play
with them, give them a hug, caress their head, be in their
presence for long, and so on. Human contact was held to a
minimum. The effect of this was that 100% of the babies

today.

But isn’t that amazing? We need human touch, it is essential.


But as we get older it’s reduced, so our mind develops tricks
to create substitutes for this touch, like success. When we
experience success, it pleases us, because our mind and
body has linked this to touch, “social touch.” It’s like society
is patting your head. And you feel physical sensations of

“They don’t know what’s missing so they buy more things,

know it is not the same. They suffer from the effect of the

A substitute can never beat the real thing...”

You can continue from here into a touching routine of some


sort, or talk about energy movement, or read books about
special ways to touch and demonstrate to her what you’ve
learned and that you might know more about her body than
she does.

Ideal Relationship Values


This routine is great for when you are alone, having a private and
deep conversation, particularly when the topic of relationships
has come up and sexual tension is increasing.

“I have a new theory about all relationships and what makes


up the ideal one.

First of all you need passion. This is where you have a


physical chemistry with this person, where you feel drawn
to them, you may even feel a warm feeling right here in
your stomach and maybe it spreads all over your body when
you’re with this person… where you can lose track of time
and give yourself completely to this experience…

Next you need intimacy. This is where you feel an emotional


connection with this person, like you’ve known them before,
and like you were always meant to know this person…
like this was meant to be and where you feel completely
comfortable and close… and you may feel it right here in
your heart…

Then you need commitment. Philosophers have called this


a sense of “duty”… where you feel secure, knowing that
this is someone that is here for you, that we both choose to
be together… and this is someone that you can see yourself
with now and in the future…

Now, all relationships are based on varying degrees of each


one of these elements.

For example if you have just passion, but no intimacy

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
129
ROUTINES

or commitment, then that would be like just physical


infatuation. Like a one night stand or something… nothing
more, nothing less…

If you have just intimacy, but no passion or commitment,


then that would be just friendship. And we all have those…

If you have just commitment, but no passion or intimacy,


then that would be an empty relationship. Like a lot of
married people out there… so sad.

Then you can have passion and intimacy, but no commitment.


This is like a “romantic affair”… and maybe the knowledge
that it is something that’s now or never… or that you have
no guarantees about, makes the passion and intimacy even
more intense…

And you can have passion and commitment, but no intimacy.


That is like people who stay together because they really
like the sex.

And you can have intimacy and commitment but no passion.


That would be like grandma and grandpa who are together
for companionship, but can’t remember the last time they
did it.

And of course the ideal, as with all things… is about balance,


where you can have just the right amount of passion, just
the right amount of intimacy, and just the right amount
of commitment… well… now that I think about it, an extra
little bit more passion would be nice… What do you think?”

The Shadow and the Rising Sun


Like the previous routine, this one is long and somewhat heavy.
Its creator, IN10SE, says that it is best used with women who
may be sexually repressed or who haven’t had sex in a while.
As always, memorization of exact wording isn’t necessary.
What is necessary is to convey the main themes. Here, it is
that she can let out what she is repressing. You are helping
her give herself permission to follow her passions, because it’s
not her who has these forbidden desires, it’s her “shadow.”

´<RXNQRZ,ZDVWKLQNLQJDERXWVRPHWKLQJWKHRWKHUGD\

darkness. And how opposites are really the same thing...just
varying degrees on the same spectrum...of possibilities...
DQGKRZRQHLVGH¿QHGLQUHODWLRQWRWKHRWKHUDQGKRZ
there are no absolutes.

And then I remembered something that a psychologist


friend of mine said once...She said, “I have to go feed
my Shadow”...and I wasn’t quite sure what she meant
DW WKH WLPH XQWLO , UHDG VRPHWKLQJ E\ -XQJ +H VDLG WKDW
everyone has a Shadow...a dark side...a place of forbidden
desires. This is that part of you that you hide from the rest
of the world...maybe even from yourself... where you can
experience and imagine those... thoughts...the things that
\RX ZRXOGQ¶W ZDQW DQ\RQH WR HYHU ¿QG RXW WKDW \RX ORQJ
for and dream about...where you want to experience all
the excitement of this moment...to let go of all the things
that had been holding you back before...to just let go...and
enjoy all that life has to offer... The Shadow is a good thing,
he believed...because it brings a sense of balance.

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
131
ROUTINES

Now, this sense of balance is very important because the


concept that whatever you repress grows and begins to spill
over into other parts of your life. If your shadow is repressed
it grows and grows...until it just takes you over completely.
-XQJVDLGLWZDVOLNHWKHULVLQJVXQEHFDXVHLQWKHPRUQLQJ
as the sun rises in the sky...... it gets higher and higher...
closer and closer to the highest point in its path (midlife)
...until at mid–day it changes polarity completely... and
everything that was once true has now changed...and now
the opposite is true... and the sun goes down. This was the
concept behind mid–life crisis.

It’s like the more you try to deny your shadow, the more
intense your shadow becomes...and the more intense your
shadow becomes the more you feel that underlying tension
growing within you for it to just come out ...until one day it
just takes over completely.

So balance then is a good thing.

Now what if you were to step into your shadow right now,
and see the world through the eyes of your shadow…. What
would that say about the person that you are now vs. who
you were before? What is it… that this shadow most wants
and desires right now? What do you deserve to enjoy now
in your life?”

the Emotional Progression Model. Chapter 9 of Magic Bullets
provides a great overview of different approaches to build
comfort. If you’re not consistently moving beautiful women
from showing initial signs of attraction (laughing, asking you
questions, etc.) to a physical relationship, the odds are that
you biggest improvement opportunities come in the Comfort
phase. The best training for this comes from either a full
bootcamp, which is heavy on Attraction and Comfort drills
and live practice in restaurants, bars, and clubs, or from the
innovative new one-day Breakthrough Comfort seminars.
Breakthrough Comfort is a rapid form of comfort-building

conversation, or to make her more likely to see you again.

Do You Want Me to Call You?


One good way to get her number is to say:

“Do you want me to call you?”

This frames her response such that she has to essentially say
“Yes, I want you to call me.” This is a more powerful position
for you than simply asking for her number and waiting while
she either grants or refuses your request. This is one of those
elements of Love Systems which is very subtle but also very
important.

the future, and then to get her number either right way or a
little bit later as a way of making these plans happen. These
can either be plans for that night; for example, you could be
telling a woman about a party or another venue where you
and your friends are going that you could invite her to. In that
case, you could get her phone number and tell her that you’ll
call her when you get there if it’s any good.

This is actually a less effective way of getting her to go


somewhere else with you than if you just brought her along
with you, but sometimes that won’t be an option. Either way,
you’ll have her number and an excuse to get in touch with her
very soon.

Usually we use this technique after making plans to do

Call-back Humor Routines


If you know that you are going to have to phone or text her
for the two of you to see each other again, then it’s very useful
to make sure that you set up some call-back humor. This
concept, with examples, is explained in Chapter 4 (Attraction
routines), especially the Stripper Name routine. If you get to
the point where it’s time to take her phone and you realize
that you haven’t set up any call-back humor yet, there are a
couple of last-minute things you can do:

• Make her write her number on a piece of paper and then


tell her to draw her self-portrait so you’ll remember
what she looks like. Use her picture to create call-back

• Make her program your number into her phone. This is

the phone if they don’t know who is calling. In fact,
many Love Systems instructors will send a woman a text
PHVVDJH¿UVWUDWKHUWKDQSKRQHKHULIWKH\GRQ¶WNQRZWKDW
a woman has already programmed them into her phone.
Having to explain who you are to an answering machine is
a very weak move. To create call-back humor, tell her to
SURJUDP\RXUQDPHDVVRPHWKLQJVSHFL¿FZKHQVKHSXWV
you in her phone, ideally something that relates to an
enjoyable moment you shared. For example, if you had
previous role-played (see Attraction routines, Chapter 4
for examples) that you had dated and then broken up, you
can tell her to program you in as “ex-bf Joe” [or whatever
your name is]. If you can’t think of anything, tell her you
have to be “hot Joe” or something silly. The goal is to
make her smile when she sees your name pop up when
you call or text her, so she’ll be more likely to respond.

Turning Things Sexual


One of the problems many guys have is that they hook a
woman’s attention, get into Comfort for a long time, and then
it “goes nowhere.” Then it’s a quick ride off to “let’s just be
friends” land, probably for good.

We’ve covered some routines earlier that can help create


sexual tension early in the interaction. The routines in this
section make bolder moves in this direction.

Traditionally, we use these longer sexual routines later in the


Comfort phase. However, feel free to try them earlier if you
sense, or just want to test for sexual interest on her part.
We often do this. The type of intuition that Love Systems
instructors have of seemingly always knowing the “right”
thing to say, is to a large extent based on the accumulated
experience of trying different things at different times and
noting the results.

Being in Touch with Her Bisexual Nature


This routine is great for developing sexual rapport by taking
the conversation in a risqué sexual direction while seemingly
just having a casual conversation. This routine is also useful
for laying the groundwork for a threesome.

”It’s fascinating that people in society have so many hang–


ups about all these different things…”

“Hangups” is a powerful word when discussing sexuality. Use


it.

“It’s like society tries to categorize people into rigid slots.


It’s funny, some psychologists did this incredible study
where they took pornography, and showed it to men and

And the straight guys liked the men with women, and of
course they liked the women with women, too.”

(They’ll sometimes test you here. Make no excuses for being


turned on by two women together. Smile and keep going.)

”But what was most fascinating, was the women... Of course


women liked watching sex between a woman and a man…
but what was surprising was that 80% of the women also
felt aroused by watching a woman with another woman.”

(Women will usually say ³<HDK , FRXOG VHH WKDW´ Some


won’t. They may be uptight sexually, worried about being
judged, or actually so comfortable with their sexuality that
they aren’t shy about things they like or don’t like.)

“So the thing is, it’s not really whether or not women are

and it’s how in touch she is with it, and how aware of it she
is, that’s the variable for how far she delves into it.”

Another great aspect of this routine is that if she senses that


you are good with women, and can help make threesomes
happen in a way that makes her feel comfortable, you can
stand out in her mind when compared to other men who may
be pursuing her. Don’t be afraid to talk about sex comfortably

to lead women to threesomes, the ultimate reference is

Secret Sex Toys


This routine can only be used once you and a woman have
been talking for a while and she is comfortable with you. Grab
her purse and say:

“This thing is so small; it’s not even a purse; it’s like a


wallet. I bet I know what you got in here, you pervert.”

(Be sure to be smiling the whole time. Then open her purse
and start taking stuff out. It’s bold, but it’s amazing how
many women will actually let men go through their purses.)

are going to try to kiss. Your lips should be close enough
that you can feel each other breathe. Do not try to kiss her.
If you get any resistance from her, do not force the issue.
Playfully push her away and move onto another topic or
routine. Two minutes or so later, say:)

³<RX UHDOO\ QHHG WR VWRS WKLQNLQJ DERXW WKDW DOPRVW±NLVV


until you are ready to do it, lady.”

Once you do almost kiss her, you can safely move in for another
one by just saying you want it.

Always break it after 2–3 seconds, even if she seems


comfortable.

After you do this about four times, a real kiss will be natural;
many times, she’ll even bring it up.

Simplicity
Going for the kiss can be very simple. If your intuition is
telling you that she’s ready to move forward, you can be fairly
direct with the right verbal intonation. Such as:

“Are you a good kisser?”

(She responds.)

The Sudden Kiss


If you sense strong attraction and sexual tension, grab her
and kiss her, suddenly, when she least expects it.

The more the kiss appears spontaneous and unplanned, the


better: for example waiting a street light to change, as she
comes back from the bathroom, when she returns with drinks,
and so on.

Forbidden Territory
This kiss routine is best done after she’s become comfortable
with increasing levels of physical intimacy, and provides a
smooth, easy way to transition to kissing.

Stroke her hair back a little, look her right in the eyes
and say:

“Baby, this is so bad. We can’t do this... we don’t even know


each other that well…. OK look, this is the forbidden zone
here. 3RLQWWRKHUOLSVDQGFRYHUWKHPZLWK\RXU¿QJHUVRU
your hand.) We can kiss anywhere but here, because we’re
not ready for that yet.”

Then look her in the eyes, and start to kiss her forehead
and her cheeks, keep kissing her anywhere and everywhere
on her face apart from her lips, which are the “forbidden
territory.” Pull her face in close to yours, kiss her around
her neck and then after a minute she will start to moan and
really enjoy it. At this point, she’s ready to be kissed on the
lips. Go for it, she’ll love it.

If you have an actual reason for kissing to be “forbidden” or


dangerous, e.g. she is your sister’s friend, or her friend is
around the corner, then work that into our verbal pacing of
the situation to add to the intensity. The forbidden, and giving
into temptation, are powerful sexual triggers for many women.
Even irrelevant “barriers” can work for this purpose.

Text Messages
Text messaging (SMS) is a very valuable tool to help you stay
in touch with a woman and see her again.

Texts allow quick initial contact after the initial meeting


without the risk of showing too much interest. They allow
frequent contact without having to escalate into a full phone
call and make it really easy for her to respond and continue
the emotional momentum.

Initial Texts

These messages are great to send a little while after you met
her, later that day or night.

Phone game and text game is a crucial component of dating

Chapter 7
Seduction
Once you have passed through the Attraction, 4XDOL¿FDWLRn,
and Comfort SKDVHV \RX DUH UHDG\ IRU WKH ¿QDO VWDJH RI
intimacy: Seduction.

If you have been effective up to this point and have steadily


increased the level and intensity of the physical contact between
you, the Seduction phase should usually be straightforward.

If a woman is not ready for physical intimacy, you’re probably


not done with the Comfort phase (Chapter 6) yet. Sometimes
a woman will want to be intimate but wants you to work harder.
There aren’t a ton of “routines” for this situation; it’s more an
area of themes and tactics. Here are two of our favorites:

Agree I
While you are kissing and getting sexual, if she says something
along the lines of, “we should stop,” agree with her, but keep
kissing and escalating playfully at the same time.

The idea is that you keep moving forward and physically


escalating while talking about how bad it is you’re doing it.
For example:

‡³<RX¶UHULJKWZHVKRXOGVWRS´

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
149
ROUTINES

• “This is totally too early, we have to stop.”

• “I can’t believe I’m letting you take advantage of me like


this. We have to take it slow. I need more time.”

‡³<RX¶UHULJKW,VKRXOGWRWDOO\QRWEHWDNLQJ\RXUEUDRII«
Whoops.”

The idea is to get her to laugh and take her mind out of her
inhibited state.

DISCLAIMER: The concept of “no means no” is


undoubtedly self-evident to almost all readers. Still,
you can get in trouble for what you write, and so, with
apologies to the overwhelming majority of readers for
whom this is beyond obvious, allow us to clarify that:

• No means no.
• “Stop” is very different from “we should stop.”
• If she resists even after you “agree” that you should
stop, stop.
• If in any doubt at all, stop. Communication is your
friend.

Agree II
A more serious version of the Agree routine above is to say:

“I totally understand. We’re still in our comfort and trust


building phase. I am really attracted to you, but I understand…
We can wait.”

Stop escalating. Have a fun conversation with her. Start the


touching again in a few minutes.

Your genuineness and sensitivity to the situation may cause


her to reassess what she wants and she will often change her

not just interested in her for the sex.

The Seduction phase is one that can’t easily be demonstrated or


taught live. Fortunately, we can point you to two outstanding
resources. One is Chapter 10 of Magic Bullets (a book you
should have anyway) which goes over the entire avoid-blur-
distract model to state breaks and thereby pre-empting a
lot of late-stage discomfort from a woman. The other is two

Creating Your Own Routines

As mentioned at the beginning of this book, the routines here


should not be used robotically but more as examples and
as a starting point to build your arsenal of original material.
Internalize the underlying mechanisms of proven routines and
create your own style so that you are also able to improvise
and develop material spontaneously. All the best practitioners
use a mix of practiced routines and improvisation.

As you’ve seen, what makes a good routine varies by phase


of the Emotional Progression Model. In this chapter, we will
go step-by-step to give you structures to design routines for
each effective phase of the game.

ROUTINES

Opening
You really can start a conversation by saying just about
anything. What’s more important is how you say it and what
you say after your opening line. Ideally, your initial body
ODQJXDJH ZLOO FRPPXQLFDWH FRQ¿GHQFH DQG DQ HQHUJ\ WKDW
says you will add value to a woman’s night (and to her friends’,
if, as is usually the case, she’s not alone) and that you’re not
just another boring guy hitting on a pretty woman. Even if
you meet someone in the daytime, when she’s alone and on
her way somewhere, the same principles apply.

Pick a type of opener that best suits your personality and the
VLWXDWLRQV\RX¿QG\RXUVHOILQ([SHULPHQWZLWKDOOWKHGLIIHUHQW
types of openers and see how you do. Opinion openers are the
easiest, so if you’re having trouble with these, we’ve created
a step-by-step model for creating your own.

The basic formula for an opinion opener is:

Step 1: Hook - Ask a short question, preferably on a female-


friendly topic. For example:

“Hey, guys…Would you read your boyfriends email if you


thought he was cheating on you?”

Step 2: Tease Their Answer - Improvise off of what they


say, tease her, do a quick cold read &KDSWHU RUMXVW¿QG
something interesting and unique about it and comment.
For example:

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
153
ROUTINES

“Note to self…do not date this girl.”

Step 3: Time Constraint - Imply that you are not pursuing her
and that you’re on your way somewhere. For example:

“I can only stay a minute, because I’ve got to get back to


my friends but...”

Story - Tell the story why you asked the original question
to make the opener more believable, give them more
information about the subject, and elicit more conversation.
For example:

“So my friend Chris thought his girlfriend was cheating on


him and...”

Opening Topics
A safe bet when approaching women who are by themselves
or in all-female groups is to choose topics that are known to
be generally interesting to women. Three of the best are:

• Relationships - Anything asking about what you or a friend


should do regarding a romantic relationship is always
reliable. The angle should be that you are wanting to hear
what a woman thinks about the situation. For example:
“Would you read your boyfriend’s email if you thought he
was cheating on you?”

• Social Dynamics - Non-romantic relationships and gender


differences also provide fertile ground. For example: “Hey,
if a man and a woman get to the bar at the exact same

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007
154
ROUTINES

WLPHZKRJHWVVHUYHG¿UVW"´ These topics are also suitable


for mixed (male and female) groups.

• Popular Culture - Most women like to think that they are


culturally savvy and experts on popular culture. Make sure
you have a reason to be asking the question. For example:
“What do you guys think of Paris Hilton?” is uninteresting
and obvious, and whomever you ask it to will guess that you
have another agenda. In contrast, on a trip to Australia,
Sinn and The Don came up with: ³6R ,¶YH KHDUG 9DQLOOD
,FH,FH,FH%DE\IRUWKHSDVW¿YHQLJKWV,VKHVRPHNLQG
of hero to you people or is it a joke like in the US?” This
opener was effective because it was situationally relevant
and interesting. Use your imagination and what you have
around you and in your life and you’ll have plenty of opening
material.

with openers is probably the easiest part of the whole game.

Transitioning
2IWKH¿YHGLIIHUHQWW\SHVRITransitionsLGHQWL¿HGLQ&KDSWHU
6 of Magic Bullets, only “Observational Transitions” really
use much in the way of routines. This type of Transition is
based to a large extent on cold reads, which we discussed in
Chapter 3. To help you build your own Observational Transitions,
we’ve researched one of the classic cold reading studies: the
Forer effect.

The Forer Effect


The Forer effect (also called personal validation fallacy or
the Barnum effect after P. T. Barnum) is the observation that
individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of
WKHLU SHUVRQDOLW\ WKDW VXSSRVHGO\ DUH WDLORUHG VSHFL¿FDOO\ IRU
them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply
to a wide range of people. The Forer effect can provide a
partial explanation for the widespread acceptance of some
pseudosciences such as astrology and fortune telling, as well
as many types of personality tests.

Forer’s Demonstration

In 1948, psychologist Bertram R. Forer gave a personality test


to his students, and then gave them a personality analysis
supposedly based on the test’s results. He invited each of them
to rate the analysis on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 5 (excellent)
as it applied to themselves: the average was 4.26. He then
revealed that each student had been given the same analysis
(which had been assembled from horoscopes):

without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise
to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times
you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other
times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of
your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.”

is a starting point for a quality cold read. These themes can

Attraction
The main goal of the Attraction phase is to capture a group’s
attention and to quickly show that you are a cool, interesting
person, without seeming like you are trying too hard to do
so.

Attraction routines should generally be short, and have a quick,


immediate effect on a woman. If you don’t generate interest

especially if you are talking to strangers.

Some reliable sources of material for creating Attraction


routines include:

• Humor
• Psychology and Games
• Teasing
• Stories

Humor
Volumes have been written on “how to be funny.”

Most of these are useless. In the Resources section of this


book (Chapter 10) we list some of the exceptions which Love
Systems students have found useful in the past. One of these
is Love Systems instructors’ Sinn and Future interview on the
subject (www.LoveSystems.com/cd3).

think up or hear, and use these when meeting women. Watch

the results and adjust accordingly. Re-use the ones the work
well. Eventually you will have a whole repertoire of jokes
that you know work well through trial and error. You will also
begin to see a pattern in terms of what “style” of humor suits
you; dry vs. bombastic, cocky vs. self deprecating, and so
on. Humor is often learned in a non–logical, instinctual way.
You should also pay attention to other funny people and learn
from their choice of conversational content and mannerisms.

Psychology and Games


Attraction routines based on psychology and games include
the Eyebrows Routine, Smart Test, and various Riddles from
Chapter 3. Read widely, and keep your eyes open for material
that could make a good routine. Psychology Today and Mental
FlossDUHWZRPDJD]LQHVWKDWDUHJRRGIRU¿QGLQJLQWHUHVWLQJ
factoids and topics. Turn these into tests and observations
that can be delivered quickly. They need not even be 100%
“accurate” as long as they are interesting (and sound true). No
one is expecting professional advice from a stranger in a bar.

Teasing
Teasing can create attraction because you appear not to be
pursuing a woman while simultaneously doing things to attract
her. Make sure you don’t overdo it. Err on the side of having
her be in on the joke rather than being insulting or making her
feel uncomfortable.

You can tease a woman for her:

ROUTINES

• Mannerisms
• Body language
• Choices of vocabulary
• Clothes
• Age (if she is young)
• Lack of compatibility with you
• Arbitrary characteristics
• Things she hasn’t even done yet
• Etc.

The list of potential topics is endless. Use the examples


from 'LVTXDOL¿FDWLRQDQG7HDVLQg (Chapter 4) as a guide for
constructing these.

Stories
As you know, the hallmarks of a good Attraction routine is
that it is short, interesting, fun, and corresponds to a woman’s
emotional triggers. This applies just as much to stories told
in the Attraction phase as it does to teases, games, and the
like.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, we have included the very


comprehensive storytelling manual from Magic Bullets as
Chapter 9 of this book, which gives a step-by-step guide to
both Attraction and Comfort stories.

Comfort

phases of the Emotional Progression Model. The key emotions
a woman should feel during this phase include:

฀ Connection
฀ Trust
฀ Intimacy

Connection
Especially early in the Comfort phase, your routines should
be primarily focused on building a connection. You are still
getting to know one another. The goal is to do this on a deeper
emotional level and share the important details about your
lives without the conversation becoming stale or mechanical
(i.e. the “job interview” conversation, with question after
question). The Truth Game in Chapter 5 is a great tool for
doing this, but anything that gets her to reveal intimate
facts and feelings so that you can reciprocate is good. Or,
conversely, you can tell a story in order to cue her to reveal
something about herself as well. Also, look for commonalities
(shared interests, experiences, etc.) as these help create a
sense of connection.

Some routine tools for this phase:

฀ The Truth Game


• Sharing your beliefs and philosophy on life
฀ Cold reads
• Finding commonalities through storytelling and questions

Trust
The next part of the Comfort phase is building trust and
feeling that there is a special connection between you and
her. Acknowledge that you both feel an unusually tight bond
and that she has somehow captured your attention. This can
help her trust you and show that you are not just another
guy looking for sex. You can also (judiciously) demonstrate
vulnerability - there are some great examples of this in the
Comfort chapter (Chapter 6) - to show that you trust her with
your feelings. Make sure that you do this without jeopardizing
the image she should have of you by now as a high-value
FRQ¿GHQWPDQ

Some routine tools for this phase:

• Statements of interest (Chapter 5)


• Vulnerability routines and stories
• Heart Melters

Intimacy
Toward the end of the Comfort phase, you need to put greater
emphasis on having her feel open to increased intimacy,
and, ultimately, sex. You’ve hopefully been increasing the
intensity of your touching and have already kissed her. Check
the physical touching routines and kiss routines (Chapter 5)
if you’re having trouble making this happen “naturally.” Your
intimacy routines should become more sexual without making
her feel uncomfortable or risking the sense of connection and
trust that you’ve built.

ROUTINES

Seduction
As noted in Chapter 7, the Seduction phase of the Emotional
Progression Model does not necessary lend itself to a large
number of routines. Success in the Seduction phase is based
primarily on an understanding of female psychology and
avoiding “state breaks,” in which a woman logically confronts
the idea that she is going to have sex with someone new for
WKH ¿UVW WLPH  0DQ\ ZRPHQ ZLOO QRW GR WKLV XQOHVV \RX DUH
able to provide enough emotional and/or physical stimulation
that she is able to “turn off” the logical side of her brain. If
you can’t do this, she probably won’t enjoy the sex very much
anyway, so this actually makes sense on a few different levels.
The avoid-blur-distract model for dealing with state breaks is
covered in Chapter 10 (Seduction) of Magic Bullets.

The unpracticed use of routines in the Seduction phase can


actually be dangerous. If you say something in your initial
approach that sounds like a “line,” you will often be forgiven.
If you say something in the Seduction phase that does not
sound genuine, you may destroy your chances with a woman.

a Love Systems bootcamp (which is important to do anyway)
or a routines consultation. A consultation is a one-day, one-

Bonus Chapter – Storytelling
Storytelling is a crucial skill in Love Systems and the stories
you tell should be less “canned” and more personal, so we’ve
decided to include the chapter on Storytelling from Magic Bullets
to help and augment the routines included in this book.

(Excerpted from Magic Bullets by Savoy)

What Is Storytelling?
Storytelling is a crucial tool in your arsenal, especially in the
Attraction and Comfort phases.

The Attraction phase is primarily about having a woman discover


WKLQJVDERXW\RXWKDWUHÀHFWZKDWVKH¶VORRNLQJIRULQDPDQ
There are three ways to make this happen: she can observe
them; she can learn about them from a third party; or she can
EHWROGDERXWWKHPE\\RX6WRU\WHOOLQJ¿WVPRVWO\LQWRWKHWKLUG
option as it allows you to tell a woman almost anything you
want about yourself. It also provides an opportunity for her to
observe some of your good qualities – being a good storyteller
and commanding a group’s attention demonstrates social
intuition and status, and possibly humor. These three qualities
are prominent among the eight attraction “switches” that more
or less universally catalyze a woman’s interest in a man. See
Chapter 7 (Attraction) of Magic Bullets. These qualities also
show her that you are able to feel and convey emotion.

ROUTINES

Storytelling in the Comfort phase can help build a meaningful


connection with a woman. Stories provide a great opportunity
for her to get to know you better and should encourage her to
tell you about herself as well.

What stories you tell and how you tell them gives a woman
great insight into your personality. Make sure that your stories
DQGWKHLUGHOLYHU\ UHÀHFWWKHEHVWSDUWRI\RX\RXUYDOXHV
and your identity.

I’ll be using lots of mini-examples in this chapter. Often these


won’t be complete stories, or they will be exaggerated to make
my point clear. Don’t memorize and repeat them; most were
created just for this chapter for the purpose of illustrating one
particular storytelling technique at a time.

Storytelling structures can get pretty complicated, but they


don’t have to be. When I am telling stories, I focus on six key
elements:

฀ A hook line
฀ 7KHÀRZ PDLQFRQWHQWRIWKHVWRU\
฀ Embedded information
฀ Opportunities for input
฀ Open threads
฀ A conclusion

Hook lines
A good hook line will introduce a story and give some clue
about what’s coming. It should create some suspense and
anticipation to focus your listener’s attention. Commanding
attention is especially important in the Attraction phase, when

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com

ROUTINES

you might be dealing with a larger group whose attention is


dispersed; in the Comfort phase, attention is easier to get and
you are more likely to be alone with her anyway.

A hook line can be a statement or a question. Some


examples:

฀ Have you ever been to Paris?


฀ I just had the craziest day!
฀ You know, you remind me of…

In theory, the hook line should be related to the story you are
going to tell. But it’s better to have an interesting hook line
that isn’t completely related to the rest of the story than it is
to have a perfectly on–message hook line that doesn’t capture
your listener’s attention.

You can use the hook line as “bait,” which is somewhat similar
to using open threads (see below). Consider the following
dialogue between two people who already know each other:

He: How are you?

She: *RRGKRZDUH\RX"

He: Not bad. A bit tired; my plane was stuck on the


runway for two hours this afternoon. I had to go

years, I haven’t found that this is as helpful as determinedly

themes and the emotional impact you are trying to create

approaches and see what works best for you.

Storytelling to women is about emotions. Remove unnecessary

embedding information, as explained later in this chapter).

Embedded information
Embedding means using a story that appears to be about one
subject to subtly tell listeners about something else. Usually
the “something else” will be positive characteristics about
yourself that you don’t want to bring up directly because you
don’t want to come across as bragging or trying too hard to
impress her.

Thus, what you are actually trying to communicate to her is


not the main point of the story.

Consider this example:

strange about the city. I think I know what it is now. It’s
mushrooms. I did a show there last week and afterwards
a bunch of us went on a helicopter tour. It was really
beautiful and all, but the weird thing was all the satellite
dishes on the roofs. It was like a sea of little white patches,

mushrooms just like the Smurfs.”

Theoretically, the story is about how satellite dishes look like


mushrooms from the sky. That’s true by the way. It’s amazing
what you can learn from a Love Systems book. But the point
of this story is the embedded information:

• The narrator does “shows” in New York, among other


places. This implies status, and potentially wealth, two
attraction triggers. In reality, it can be a trade show for
all that it matters at this stage.

• Helicopter rides are fairly routine for the narrator. To


most women, this implies wealth, and possibly status.
In fact, helicopter rides aren’t all that expensive or a big
deal; they just seem that way. Go take one so you can
tell stories about it.

Create your own stories with embedded information for the


Attraction phase. Start by thinking of events or situations
from your own life that relate to any of the characteristics

about something bigger. In the example above, “shows” and

New York feels weird.”

There are a virtually unlimited number of ways to embed


information. To get you started, here are some phrases or
OLQHVWKDWFRXOG¿WLQWRODUJHUFRQWH[WVDQGLPSO\JRRGWKLQJV
about you:

• “I took some friends on a rafting trip up north…”


(attraction trigger: health)

• “I had to talk my way out of that one…”


(attraction trigger: social intuition)

• “I was sailing with some friends of mine…”


(attraction trigger: wealth, status)

• “I’m sort of the leader of my peer group…”


(attraction trigger: status)

most common embedding mistakes I’ve seen men make:

1. The embedded information appears to be out of place or


looks forced into the story.

afterwards a bunch of us went on a helicopter tour. It was
really beautiful, and I was surprised that I didn’t have
any fear of heights like I normally do.” [A story about
not being afraid of heights is not interesting. She’ll know
you only told the story to make yourself sound good,
which actually conveys low social intuition.]

3. The embedded information overshadows the story.

it is now. It’s mushrooms. I was hanging out with
my friend Donald Trump and he took us on a helicopter

building together. It was really beautiful and all, but the

strange because we’re all living under giant mushrooms,

details about building a casino with Donald Trump in a
story about how satellite dishes look like mushrooms.
Building a casino with Donald Trump is unambiguously
much more important than how satellite dishes look,
so it’s simply not credible to tell a story about satellite
dishes as if your casino plans were an incidental detail.
The more striking the embedded information, the more
powerful the story embedding it must be.]

ROUTINES

Open Threads:
Another good advanced tactic is to leave open threads for
your audience to ask about, to spur further conversation or to
advance the story. For example, in the mushroom story, the
phrase “I did a show there last week” is an open thread. She
may ask you what you do for a living, or what kind of show
you did in New York. If you are a performing artist, you can
talk about this without appearing to be bragging as long as it
is done in response to a direct question. For the rest of us, the
only “shows” we are likely to actually do are trade shows. In
that case, replace the reference to “shows” to something else.
Maybe you were at a charity event or seeing your favorite
band. Maybe your company sent you on an emergency trip or
you were closing a deal or meeting with investors. Something
relevant to you.

Or if it was a trade show, brush off her follow–up questions and


create an air of mystery by saying “I don’t want to talk about
WKDWQRZ*HWWRNQRZPHIRUPH´ and immediately start a
new conversational subject. Run an opener if you don’t know
what to say next, but make sure there is not a long awkward
pause. Passing up easy opportunities to make yourself look
good in response to her questions can actually come across as
a positive characteristic in itself.

Opportunities for input

A story can have a more powerful effect on someone if


they are actively engaged in it as opposed to just listening
passively. Try to structure opportunities for a woman to feel
that she is contributing to the conversation. This should be
done carefully, as she might unpredictably derail the story’s
direction or create awkward moments by being unable or
unwilling to contribute meaningfully. In previous examples,
we’ve been using elements of an Attraction story, so now
we’ll switch gears to Comfort. This story, or part of a story, is
actually true and is about my mom’s cat when I was a kid. It’s
not a routine I actually use; I designed it as a teaching tool,
but feel free to modify it for your own use if you like it. Stories
about childhood experiences are generally good in Comfort.
They can make you seem vulnerable without being weak, they
give you an opportunity to laugh at yourself, and they create
commonalities, as childhood is something you both have in
common. You’ll notice that this story has no hook line; we’ll
add that in a moment:

Cat Story
“My mom’s cat was really old and really big. He was
probably the only cat ever born without a sense of balance.
I thought being able to balance on ledges and treetops was
supposed to be part of the point of being a cat. But we lived

on an island, so maybe we had mutants. Anyway, when I

edge of my crib and losing his balance and falling on me.
It scared me to death. It probably only happened once
or twice, but in my memories it felt like it was happening
all the time. In pre–school we all had to draw pictures of
things we were afraid of. The other kids drew snakes and
monsters. Those never bothered me, not even when my
older cousins tried to tell me there were snakes under my
ÀRRU,MXVWODXJKHGDQGWROGWKHP,ZDVQ¶WVFDUHG1RVLU
What scared me was my mom’s big old retarded cat. That’s
why today I have an aquarium. I’m pretty sure seahorses
won’t escape the tank and jump on me when I sleep.”

Now let’s play with this story to help a woman become more
actively engaged in it. The easiest way to do this is to ask her
questions about elements of your story that she might be able
to relate to. For example:

• Did you have pets growing up?


• Do you like cats?
• What were you most afraid of when you were a kid?

Many opportunities for input are set up as questions. But they


don’t have to be. The dialogue below contains an example of a
pause where the listener should feel compelled to contribute.
I also make one of the opportunities for input into a hook line.
This is often a good way of generating hook lines.

say this. When I’m creating sample dialogues,
sometimes I have the woman say something ridiculous
to emphasize that the exact content of her response
is irrelevant to what I’m going to say next.]

Me: “Oh yeah? My mom had a cat. And he hated me…”

Her: (She responds.)

Me: “My mom’s cat was really old and really big. He was

Her: (She responds – but this one will probably be really


interesting and tell me a lot about her. Talking about
her response should build comfort. I can either
pursue the conversation in this direction or leave it
as an open thread and come back to it later)

and then suddenly come up with something interesting to say.
But everyone knows what they were afraid of growing up and
whether they had pets.

By the way, did you notice the open threads: “we lived on an

Some general rules for inviting input:

• Make it as easy as possible for the listener

story is going anyway.
• Use “notional input” when you don’t want to risk the
story going in a different direction or as training wheels
to get practice inviting input. Notional input is where

right?” You wait for the “yes” answer and then continue
with the rest of the story.

Conclusion:
A good story should end on a high note that brings the action
to a conclusion. It doesn’t have to be a humorous punch line
that leaves everyone rolling around in laughter, but it does
have to wrap up the story and communicate that it is over.
What you absolutely don’t want is for someone to react to
your story with an expectant pause and then say “so then
what happened?”

Here are some examples of good conclusions (you can imagine


the stories that lead into them):

• “And that’s why I never drink tequila.”

• “I’m pretty sure he’s never coming back.”

you learned from the experience. You don’t have to actually
say “and what I realized from this was…” although it’s not bad
if you do. In Comfort it might be a real lesson or insight. In
Attraction it more likely should be something humorous.

www.LoveSystems.com ©2007

ROUTINES

Delivery:
A story can take any length of time, from as little as 30 seconds
to as long as 30 minutes, or even longer in the right context.
0DNH\RXUVWRU\OHQJWK¿WWKHVLWXDWLRQ,QDORXGQLJKWFOXE
no one is going to listen to you for more than a minute or two
right after meeting you, so keep your stories short. Later
on, when you’re in the Comfort phase and maybe sitting in a
quieter area, longer stories may be more appropriate. Learn
to insert and remove material from your stories depending on
the situation. Many of my best stories have a “short version”
and a “long version.” This is another reason why you should
focus on the general outline of your stories as opposed to
memorizing them word for word.

Make sure you get everyone’s full attention before you begin.
If you don’t have the group’s attention, either command it
by being louder or stop talking until they are focused on you.
If you lose someone’s attention while you are telling them a
story, just stop and look at them until they focus. Or you can
playfully say: “Hey, show’s over here.”

The biggest mistake I see most men make is that they are not
“living the story.” This is another reason why it’s important that
your stories are actually related to your personal experiences.
For example, if you are telling a story about a party at your
brother’s house, you should be able to mentally immerse
yourself in the atmosphere of the party. You should be able
to see, smell, feel, hear, and taste everything that you were
sensing at that moment.

Most of this information will be unnecessary detail. You may

©2007 www.LoveSystems.com
179
ROUTINES

remember that your sister–in–law was wearing a long red


dress that she looked uncomfortable in, but if it’s not relevant
to the story, don’t include it. But you still need to know and feel
these details to put yourself psychologically “in the moment.”
This will make your story much more captivating and seem
more “real.” This is similar to how actors draw upon their
personal experiences to convey attitudes and feelings and to
create an emotional response in their audience. In addition,
having that background detail available to you makes the
rest of your storytelling better. This is similar to an author
creating extensive “backstories” for his or her characters. The
backstories are full of details that will never get into the book,
but they endow the characters with much fuller and more
interesting personalities.

If you’re not interested in what you’re talking about, there’s


no chance anyone else will be either. Take your new friends
on a journey with you through the story. Personalize your
openers, stories, and routines to things that you are genuinely
passionate about. Someone with excitement and enthusiasm
in their eyes talking about a model train set that he built (on
the surface, not that fascinating to most women) will get far
better results than someone going through the motions of
talking about his career as a movie producer.

Insert pauses strategically in your stories. They create tension


and anticipation. Using the stories we looked at previously in
this chapter, I’ve added a couple of potential pauses. Often
pauses will come while you’re addressing facts as opposed to
emotions:

Storytelling is a vitally important skill, not just in dating


science but for any aspect of your life. Sinn and Future are
both experts (both have worked as stand-up comedians)
on the theory and practice of storytelling and humor, and
we highly recommend their interview. Most Love Systems
bootcamps include at least one storytelling exercise, where
instructors like us help you take experiences from your life
and turn them into attraction or comfort routines. If you
haven’t taken a bootcamp, we both strongly recommend
it. All Love Systems instructors were once students, and
it’s typical to see most skilled men in dating science being
bootcamp alumni. If a bootcamp isn’t feasible, some Love
Systems instructors do one-day one-on-one work, and can
work with you on your storytelling and other skills (as well
as practicing at restaurants, malls, lounges, and bars with
whatever beautiful women happen to be there).

Further Resources

This book is a great tool, and we strongly doubt that a better


routines manual will ever be created.

However, routines by themselves won’t make a beautiful


woman fall for you. They’re a tool, and an important one, but
they need to be used in the context of a system. And once
you’ve mastered a system, you’ll realize that a routine isn’t
always the right tool. There are other tools you will want to
learn. Your goal is to succeed with women, not to master
routines.

In general, this is how you should be thinking of your skills


after reading this book:

1. An overall system
2. Workshops and training
3. Advanced material
4. Routines on video
5. Keep up to date

1. An overall system – Magic Bullets


The routines in this book were selected and designed to be
used in the Magic Bullets structure. Routines without a system
may yield the occasional success, but you’re hardly using
them to anything like their full potential. Most of you have
probably read Magic Bullets, so you can skip the rest of this

3. Selected advanced material


By far the best source of advanced material is a monthly audio
program creatively known as The Interview Series. Every
month, two of the world’s top dating coaches are interviewed
WRJHWKHU RQ D VSHFL¿F VXEMHFW UDQJLQJ IURP $SSURDFKLQJ WR
Seduction or from Phone Game to Threesomes. It’s a unique
product, since every topic gets treated in tremendous depth,
from at least two perspectives, and there’s an opportunity to
hear the tonality and delivery that the masters use in different
situations.

We strongly recommend subscribing to the interview series


at www.LoveSystems.com/ivs. It’s $24.99 per month plus
shipping.

When you subscribe, you will be sent the current month’s


interview, and a new interview every month afterward. So
you don’t have to start back at CD#1, but all of the previous
interviews do make an excellent home study library for an
amazing number of different topics.

That being said, it’s much cheaper to subscribe (about 50%


off). Plus subscribers get the interviews usually several months
before everyone else, and other goodies including their own
mailing list and bonus content.

Other than getting Magic Bullets, this is the single most


important thing you can do right now:

In “The Art of the Pickup: Tactics and Techniques,” each

internalized the body language, timing, delivery, tonality, the

down perfectly for when you deliver it in real life.
