PickUp 101

How to Stop a Moving Hottie

By Lance Mason

There she is.

Sooo cute - so stylish.

Got that certain sum-sumthin' in her walk. Yeah, look at her walk…

Walk right on by, that is.

Wait a minute…

You weren't supposed to flirt with her, were you?

I mean, she was walking!

The truth is, you CAN stop a moving hottie dead in her tracks, and have her be GLAD you did it.

It's easier then you might think, but it does take some good intentions - and more then a little bit of commitment.

Here's how it works:

Guy see girl. Girl be moving. Guy want stop girl.

Guy stop girl.

Ugh. Words make head hurt.

Yes, it is that caveman simple. But only once you know the approach that gets her stopped, gets her interested, and gets her there with you.

You've heard of Newton's 1st Law. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

What Newton didn't say was that's even more true when the body in question is a smokin' HOT body!

But there's more to this law. I know. I Googled it to be sure.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Guess what? You, mi compadre, are the "unbalanced force."

Isn't that a great frickin' phrase? Just think that to yourself the next time you are just having a blast and someone asks why you're having so much fun.

"I'm just an unbalanced force of nature, darlin'!"

OK, back to our physics lesson.

So you now know you can stop her. But how?

When you see a girl that attracts you, make meeting her the the priority of your day. Don't worry about how you are going to stop her, what your body language is like, or any details like that.

Don't be thrown by any excuses (she's on a cell phone, wearing an iPod, walking away down the street). Just make this real — stopping and talking to you for 30 seconds is the most important thing in her day.

You giving her a chance to meet a confident, sexy man is the most important thing in her day. And in yours.

All across the universe, women respond to decisiveness and confidence more than anything else — more than money, looks, fame, or nice cars.

(Yes, the whole universe. Don't believe me? Go watch some old Star Trek's and watch how Captain Kirk works his mojo on some green alien hotties. No one can resist his hunky body language, no matter what planet they're from!)

Ol J.T. Kirk knew the blood and guts of Physical Confidence, and you can learn to use your body to shout this like a fat woman yelling "Help!" in a house fire:

http://pickup101.com/physicalconfidence

If you move like a man on a mission, she will recognize the powerful attractive traits and respond.

Here's what happens when a student gets it right.

===

Sam wanted to see if there was some circumstance where he simply COULDN'T meet a girl, so he kept his eyes open while driving through town, hoping to catch a cutie in her car. A lovely girl in a BMW merged in front of him and turned left. He immediately snapped into "Starsky and Hutch" mode and took off after her, away from his destination.

She went two more streets, then stopped at the next red. He hit the hazard lights, pulled the e-brake, jumped out of his ride and ran up to her window. He motioned for her to roll it down, and when she did, he said,

"Excuse me, I just had to tell you that you are the prettiest girl I've seen all day, and there's a law that says I have to tell you that."

She smiled, and he continued,

"Really, I have no choice. It's a federal law."

She introduced herself. He smiled back, and they kept talking and flirting, right there in the street, as the red light turned green.

===

Now comes your turn.

Here's your step-by-step how-to for stopping and dating girls on the move.

Get your pencils out. Ready?

If you're unsure how to stop her, just imagine the following. If your car was on fire, and you needed to stop someone to get help, how would you do it?

Your BODY knows this already. There's no trick to it. Just follow those instincts and experience.

You will have all sorts of questions and doubts and conditions running through your mind, and all sorts of reasons not to do it.

My personal favorite is "I don't have the time right now." So make it simple for yourself. You are taking 30 seconds out of your day to see if this cutie is a good fit for you, no more, no less. You can always afford 30 seconds, right?

And you never know when the best opportunities are going to pass by, so you need to be ready all the time.

If you detect a little more agitation and fear rising up in your gullet than you can handle, try this little trick to get it done.

Let her move away from you. Wait just a second. If it's a store, let her go. If it's a street, let her keep walking.

Wait just long enough that you think you may have lost her, and then…

Chase.

Her.

Down.

Get it in your head that you are on a mission to find and meet this girl. Make her your Girl of the Day, the one you just have to meet no matter what the situation.

This is the kind of sh*t superheros do.

That's you. You should hear crazy theme music pumping as you pursue, knowing that no Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor or Loch Ness Monster can stop you.

The more you have to pursue, the more real it will feel when you finally catch up to her, and the more sincere and confident you will be when you catch up to her and say,

"I know this is a bit random, but I had to meet you."

Now get out there, chase 'er down, and put a smile on some womens face. You may just put a big fat grin on your face in the process.

-Lance Mason

P.S. You CANNOT make this work without Physical Confidence. When you see your girl of the day moving past you, you have to stop her with your body. Know what to do with your body and get her attracted without even saying a word.

We're Like Godzilla - Taking Over Tokyo!

By daniel

Yes… That's right!

PickUp 101… for the first time ever… is going to Tokyo!

Our top instructors, Daniel and Alexandra won a free trip to Japan and decided to extend their stay there just for the chance to give a little something back to the men of Japan and help them get some hottie Japanese girls

Daniel recently did an interview with the head of the Japan lair talking about the trip to Japan and a little about his story, and you'll want to take a look (whether you're in Japan or not). 

[If you are anywhere near Japan - or if you just LOVE Japanese women, then save your spot now.  There are limited spots available.  You can sign up online, call our office, or just email Daniel@PickUp101.com]

Enjoy the interview ~

Genki: Tell me a bit about yourself and why you're coming to Japan.

Daniel: Like a lot of guys, I had trouble figuring women out when I was growing up.  I had girlfriends here and there, but I was never really satisfied, I was always messing up the relationships, and I really didn't feel like I had much choice over the whole thing.  I'll spare you all the sob stories, but there were a lot of times when I would be trying SO hard to get a girl and be doing the completely WRONG thing to get her.  It's kind of embarrassing to look back on it.

It all changed about 4 or 5 years ago when I got a hold of some David DeAngelo newsletters.  If you imagine your worldview as the windshield of your car when your driving down the highway of life.  Well… David DeAngelo was the crack in that windshield.  And slowly but surely, the crack spread.  I had realizations, breakthroughs and huge success!

But, it was tough.  And probably the toughest thing about it was that I was living in South Korea at the time.  I had one wingman from England - but he thought the whole idea of learning pickup was insane, so we wouldn't talk much about it, just go out together.  I also met some local Korean guys who were somewhat of naturals, but still all they would say is "c'mon man… just do it!"

I was pretty much alone in Korea.  Learning on my own.  With one exception, and that was the internet.  I had so many great resources to study from, and forums to post on.  (In fact, you can read all my old posts still on fastseduction.com).  I learned a lot from the Japanese pickup guys at the time and a lot of other big name posters on those forums.

I got success fast.  In Korea, I easily stood out of the crowd, and I used that to my advantage.  Within a few weeks, I was dating multiple women (and before that it'd been about a year and half since the last time I'd gotten laid!)

And then the second hurdle came.  I returned to the US.

All of a sudden, I was just another person.  I didn't stand out anymore.  All of the advantage of being a "cool foreigner" were gone.   That's when the real work started.  That's when I had to find how to express myself in powerful new ways, so that I could still be myself, but I would easily stand out as not just another guy.

I took a PickUp 101 workshop, and it took a few months of really practicing hard before I was back to the same skill level as when I had been living in Korea.

A few more months, I began as an assistant instructor, helping out at workshops.  I continued down that path, putting my heart into every workshop, and by now I've taught more than 50 workshops all over the world, from Australia, to London, to Washington DC.

I've come to have phenomenal success, and the confidence to know that I can (and have) picked up women all over the world.  And all of it without every really having to change who I am or try to be someone that I'm not.  In my book, that's important.  I never would've done something if I thought it would turn me into someone else.

The whole time, I've continued to remember my roots.  I remember those days of overnight success in Korea.  I remember months of loneliness replaced by a different girl in my bed every weekend.  Yeah… the memories are fond.

And, I've always wanted to give back.  I've always wanted to help other men who were like me, in Asia, trying to figure out these crazy Asian girls with their Asian ways.

So, I joined the Tokyo lair (now the Japan lair).  And, I think there were 11 members on the board at the time.  I decided to take those 11 members into my care and do whatever I could to help them succeed, and started posting regularly to help them get success.  Within, a few months, the lair began taking off.  I invited our most respected Genki to join and to my great pleasure he took the lair to a whole new level.

There was no Korea lair then, but after seeing the success of the Japan lair, I was inspired.  I felt my job was done, I had helped build a community for those who previously didn't have one.  At least for the men of Japan, they didn't have to struggle like I did anymore, and that thrilled me.  So, I decided to give it a shot and I started a Korea lair.

I was the first member of the Korea lair.  And, for a few months, I was the only member. 

But, soon there were 3 or 4 guys on there and I'd give them regular coaching (the kind of coaching I would've dreamed of for myself).  I was happy to see them succeeding.

Again, I invited a rockstar (BlueM) to join that lair, and he saw how it could go to the next level.  So, he took it and made it into the now very popular Korea lair.  I was stoked!

As I'm sure you could guess… helping to build an online community in Asia has been great.  But, my real dream has always been to teach in-person!

Not a day has gone by since I left, that I haven't wanted to go back to Asia and do a workshop.  Face to face.  Helping guys like me.

Luck was on my side!

It just so happened that I entered an online karaoke contest with my girlfriend and WON!  The grand prize - a 9 day trip to Japan!

[You can check out the video here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMriw9bxsgI]

So, that's the story of how we ended up coming to Japan.  We've extended our plane tickets to stay an extra weekend and make my dream come true:  Workshop Tokyo!

Yes, and that's right.  I now have an awesome girlfriend (for over 1 year now), who helps me teach.  I've never seen any other women give the type of caring, honest, and lazer sharp advice as her while still understanding the "male perspective."

Overall, it's been a crazy ride.  And, funny to think about, because I never would've thought I'd be a "pickup instructor."   But, everyday I love it, and I'm not ready to stop yet.

Genki: What's your experience in Japan, and why will your approach work here?

Daniel: This will be my first visit to Japan, and I'm excited!  I've been all over Asia (Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam…)  and enjoy each place I visit.

I've probably dated girls from every country in all of asia at some point or another.  I've dated plenty of Japanese girls in the US, and in Australia.  And I love how the women of each country each have their own individual flavor. 

I find Korean women have a little toughness to them, and their so proper.  Thai women are so used to the sex industry that often the thrill is lost… but if you find one with a little fire in her, she'll keep you on your toes for sure.  Taiwanese women have this funny sort of superstitious side to them, always telling me what their fortune-teller said about our relationship.  And Japanese women… ah, yes… Japanese women have got to be the most delicate of them all.  Like little anime characters each one of them.  But, of course, I don't have to tell you that.

In fact, it's a shame here in the US, because I feel like a lot of the best things I have to teach are the things I learned in Korea.  When I'm teaching US workshops, I don't get to talk about things like what to do when you don't speak her language.  People here aren't as interested (though I have met a few).   I've dreamed of an opportunity like this to share how I've consistently created attraction with Japanese, Korean girls, etc… just through the glance of my eyes, or a well-timed smile, or killer body language.

Plus, I want to give the things that I didn't learn until after I left Korea (but I wished I had known while I was there).  The truth is that with all of my success in Korea, I was probably still not even at 10% of my real potential.

Really, my big fear has actually been that it would work too well in Japan, and that if I ever went there I might not ever make it home.

Genki: Why should we take your bootcamp/workshop?

Daniel: I know that there's a lot of other workshops out there, and a lot of great guys teaching workshops and doing wonderful things.  I would've loved to have those kinds of opportunities when I was learning.

But, something that most people don't realize until they start teaching pickup is that it's actually easier to pickup and harder to teach it.  The real challenge is how to make a change in a guys life so that he walks away a new man.  How to make him have more than just a good weekend with some cool guys.  And, that's always been my goal.

Our workshops are specially designed with exercises that we've been refining over hundreds of workshops.  Exercises that are designed to create real visceral change for each individual in his own unique way.

You may not have read a lot of posts from me or heard much from PickUp 101 in the way of theory.  Sure, I know the theory, but really I don't like to talk theory much any more.  What I want to see is a man smiling, happy, with lots of women around him - and honestly I don't care if he knows "why it worked".  He's got his own success, and that's what I want for him most.

When you come to our workshop, you have to work.  It's called a workshop, well guess what… you're the one doing the work!  If you want to make change, it's your life.  We're guiding the way.  We're correcting you along the path, but you must expect to be engaged in the process.

If you're looking to just get more info from a seminar that you can fill a notebook with, then you probably shouldn't take this workshop.  But, if you want to actually practice the skills that naturals have been practicing all of their life.  And you want to feel the change in your body and see real results in your life, then this workshop is perfect.

Also, like I said before, it may be your only chance to work with a female instructor who is actually experienced in coaching men, and has already touched many men's lives.  That alone should be enough to get your butt there.

And of course, come to the workshop just because I'm sure as hell not going all the way to Japan to have a boring time!  We're taking the city by the storm!

Genki: What are your personal hopes for the bootcamp/workshop?

Daniel: I think I said most of it above.  But, I really just want a chance to give back to guys who may be in a situation just like how I once found myself.   I want to see them walk away on Sunday with a huge grin on their face, knowing that they've taken a HUGE step toward a life of total overwhelming abundance with women.    I know that it's possible for each guy to make those changes.  I've seen it in my own life, and the lives of so many others.  And, that's what I really want.

Genki: Anything else you want to tell us?

Daniel: Whether I see you in Tokyo or not, I want you to go out and make the most of your life.  If you want more women, get more women.  If you want one amazing dream woman - go out and find her.  If you want to be the next king of Japanese porn - do it!  If you decide pickup isn't for you, and you'd rather become world champion of karaoke - just frickin' do it!   Life is too damn short to not chase your dreams.  And there's too many unhappy people in the world already.  Find your own happiness, then share it with the world.

I wish you all success!

What the F___ is a Hired Gun??

By Lance Mason

Hey guys,

Today we dig into the secret files of the VIP PickUp Lounge for a great question.

"OK, so as great as all the PickUp 101 material is, I still don't know everything. But I want to!

I met this totally cute cashier at a coffee shop by my apt who just started working there evenings and weekends. I chatted her up a bit and she told me that she had just moved to SF. Bantered with her some, but kept things casual. So my question is, how should I go about asking this girl for a date?

I mean, should I go to the coffee shop a few times and banter with her more each time, or should I just ask her out next time I see her? Also, need tactical advice on how to ask her out. I'm just not sure how to approach a hired gun. Anyway, any good strategy is much appreciated and I'll let you know the results.

Thanks!

- S, SF"

Man, it annoys me when the jargon people choose to use actually gets in the way of their success.

I mean, I read just enough Noam Chomsky (yeah, even a ladies' man can be an egghead) to know that the language we use shapes and defines our thoughts. So choose your words carefully when you talk about game.

(By the way, a lot of my buddies like Neil Strauss and Mystery use a lot of jargon.  I stand by my belief that a lot of this language can be detrimental to the learning process, but it isn't meant as an attack on these guys or anyone else for that matter - I just happen to disagree…)

Today's rant: hired gun.

Quick, what did you picture when I said that. I bet $1000 you saw a hot girl with a cowboy hat and six guns at her side, and a scowl on her face.

You know why you saw that? Because someone who knows a lot about the world of fantasy decided that was a cool, dangerous sounding term to describe girls who work at bars, shops and in the whole service industry.

Problem is, it's exactly wrong. Girls paid to work at bars, stores and such are paid to be NICE to you, not shoot you down.

There is also these rumors going around that these girls are constantly getting hit on by cool guys - so much so that they are immune to a truly confident man that is clearly skilled with women.

Oh really…

Are you sure about that?

Tell you what, the next time you are at a crowded bar or club spot with a cute 'hired gun', park your butt for a while and WATCH.

Yes, you will see an endless wave of 'grabbers'.  Guys who are constantly touching the women, trying to pull them close aggressively in a macho display.

You will also see lots of talkers.  Guys giving weak complements, nervously telling jokes, or timidly asking questions about her life.

If you watch this activity long enough, you will notice something about the 'grabbers' and the 'talkers'…

You will notice that they aren't really taking there actions seriously and they don't truly expect to succeed.

That my friends, is why the girls don't take these guys seriously either.

The truth is that most of these guys lack the confidence to approach women in real life, and they ONLY flirt with 'hired guns'.

If you see a real man, you'll see some talking, and certainly a splash of grabbing - but you will see a lot of confidence.

You will see a man who has an end in mind, and you might be surprised indeed at how seriously the girl takes him.

Girls paid to work at bars and such are pre-disposed to date guys they meet there… provided the guys are not weird and not complete idiots.

This is where the Natural Game in Art of Attraction comes in handy.

When you are attracted to a girl who works somewhere you go, you want to ease into the transition. That's what she's used to. Girls date customers all the time, but they need to know it's cool with the environment they work at. They will make sure their co-workers approve. Meeting her after work at her place is perfect.

So how do you do it?

Don't make her uncomfortable. No movie moments. No big productions. Be totally cool and casual and you'd be amazed how easy it can be.

Replace your usual conversation with Banter. Role play. Tell her she's the best girlfriend you ever had, cos every time you see her, she's serving you a beer.

Smile and call her "love" in a phony Irish accent.

When she goes to take your money, hold onto it for a second, look her in the eye, smile and say "you've got to work harder than that with me, darling."

Flirt shamelessly, and then make a smooth transition into seeing what she's doing after work.

Maybe you'll finally find yourself doing something fun after work!

Keep making girls smile, and see what they then do for you,

Lance Mason

She's red hot, a fashion designer, body created by a perfectionist angel, eyes that literally defines heavenly, and simply has what it takes to be a woman.

The Dream Team

By Lance Mason

If you're a sports fan, you've most likely heard a sports
announcer refer to some team as "THE DREAM TEAM"

Now I'm not sure when it was first used, but any team that
is TALENT heavy will get that label.

Often it's an all star team going to an international
competition, like when the Olympics first changed the ruling
and professional players from the NBA were allowed to play.

The reason the word 'DREAM' is used, is because often fans
would dream about what it would be like to see the best
players together as a team.

It's like a dream come true for a sports fan to see these
guys work together… the best of the best.

By now you're probably wondering what this has to do with
meeting ladies, so here's what's up.

For a long time I've wondered what it would be like to teach
a workshop with a hand-picked team of my BEST instructors.

I'm talking the crème-de-la-crème, the men who not only have
the best skills with women, but also who are KICK-ASS
instructors.

So I finally did it. I've hand picked two of my top guys,
and we are going to do a one-time SPECIAL WORKSHOP as a
team.

Listen, there are a TON of men I've trained who are good
with women. Men who have made the transition from zero to
'Natural Ladies Man'.

The kind of man you might see in a club and you'll swear
he's ALWAYS been good with women because he makes it look
EASY.

But let's face it, not all of these men are cut out to be MY
instructors.

In fact, very few of them make it all the way through my
intense Instructor Training Program.

Make no mistake, I don't give a damn how good you are with
women, if you can't teach other men, you'll NEVER be one of
my instructors.

Out of the thousands of men I've taught the secrets of
'Natural Game', only a handful have qualified to be my
senior instructors.

Out of that handful, I've picked two of the best. Two men
that have THOUSANDS of hours of real world experience both
in field and as an instructor.

Men that are equally awesome at meeting women in a night
club as in a bookstore (daygame).

Men that constantly get TOP RATINGS from PickUp 101 clients
after each workshop.

To sum it up… these guys ROCK!

Can you tell I'm excited about this?!? I feel like an
obsessed sports fan who is finally getting to see MY dream
team come together.

So who are they?

Well, if you've been paying attention recently, you've read
field reports from each of them.

Two week's ago you read a report from Daniel's called "The
Softest Lips", and you may have also seen some lecture clips
(and student hidden camera fieldwork!) from a recent
workshop Eric Disco led.

So here's the deal…

Eric, Daniel, and myself are getting together in May in New
York city as a part of our instructor training program.
There's a lot of new instructors that have been training
hard and helping out, and we need to put them through the
ropes and see who's ready for the big time.

And while we are all together I wanted to do something
special, so there will be a ONE TIME "Dream Team Workshop"
in New York City on May 23rd - 25th.

This will be the ONLY chance this year to learn from PickUp
101's best instructors all at the same time.

In fact, it's one of the LAST chance's you'll have to take
the Art of Attraction with me! (I'm almost exclusively
teaching only large seminar programs these days)

Like I said, I'm frickin' EXCITED about this workshop, and
it would be great if you were one of the lucky men who will
be there!

This is going to be more than fun, this is going to be an
EPIC workshop, and if you are there your success with women
will SKYROCKET!

You can bet I'm going to get you to say a few words on how
amazing it was for you to train with the Dream Team.

Who knows… some day you might make it on to Dream Team II.

Now, go meet some women.

Lance Mason
