My Game Guidebook
There’s a lot of information out there. Learn as much as I can, but take action on it immediately. In anything, I have to have the basics down in order to progress. This is a brief guide on the basics. I credit myself with some of these ideas, but the ideas have been rehashed so many times by so many different people that I can’t really give credit to anyone in particular for them.
MOTIVATION:
The easiest way to get motivated to go out is by actually going outside. Go outside, do some pushups, take a stroll where people hang out, but just get out of the house.
Remember, I’m the only one that will always be there for me, and I’m the only one that knows what I truly want. I don’t want to look back on my life and say that, ‘when I was younger, I should’ve been fearless.’ When you have this action mentality, it’s the doing that is the real payoff.
What motivates me to be successful? The bottom line is, ‘do you want to get laid?’ If you’re reading this, the answer better be ‘yes.’ Improving yourself should be enough of a motivator, if it isn’t enough. One resource that has been useful for me to get motivated, are movies.

I’ve made a collage of successful people to remind myself that anyone can take action on the things they want in life in order to lead an extraordinary life. Be who you were meant to be – your best self. Use these people as motivation but don’t become them.
Another way to use other people to my advantage is to go out with people that are better than me. Be a high-value and high-status guy that they want to hang out with. Use their skill and enthusiasm to help get pumped up.
Braddock from TMM told me that he used affirmations and quotes to motivate him. Here are some of the quotes that motivate me:
-
“Since starting the game I’ve never really had AA, I just don’t suffer from it. My desire to succeed outweighed my fear of rejection. … When I first started in the game my desire to succeed outweighed my AA consequently I opened everything not with the aim of getting the girl but with the aim of learning what WOULDN’T work. Therefore I was outcome independent. I am beginning to understand just how much this was a key area of my own development.” - AFC Adam
-
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Malay Quote
-
“When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser…Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.” Mary Kay Ash
-
“I always had a dream - that I would not be mediocre in this regard. And I think there are too many folks out there that just let that dream die, and just go on meeting the same type of woman, or what have you. And it’s quite of depressing. The guys that really get good at this, in education, concrete goals, and a timeline for achieving those goals. There are people that are doers and others that just don’t do anything with their life.” – Jeffy
-
“I was a doer. I would take action even when every ounce in my body was telling me to stop and is not worth it. somehow I knew that to get something done you needed to take action and have a plan. This is what happened. I succeeded this way. Yes, you can succeed despite of yourself if you act and have a plan. Yet this is not real success. … To be truly successful you have to be successful in all areas of your life. Then you are a successful person. One of the areas is mental cleanliness. … Being inspired to higher personal goals will soothe you and calm you down.” – Ozzie
-
“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” - Arnold Schwarzenegger
-
“What is it that keeps you from having what you want? What fear is it? Fear of rejection? Fear of failure? Fear of disappointment? Fear of success? What is it? If you want to break through it, you’re the only one stopping you.” - Tony Robbins
-
“I walk around in a perpetual state of arousal, I will fuck anything that catches my eye. I feel like a fucking SHARK with a boner.” – Jeffy
-
“The wall is there to keep all of those who don’t want it badly enough OUT. I however am the superstar, and will find a way to continue forward and make it past that wall.” - Randy Pausch
-
“To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating, drinking, and sleeping from one day to the next until you’re dead.” - Og Mandino
-
“I am about to put forward some major ideas; they will be heard and pondered. If not all of them please, surely a few will; in some sort, then, I shall have contributed to the progress of our age, and shall be content.” - Donatien Alphonse-François de Sade
-
“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.” - Lin Yutang
-
“When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Will Appear” - Lao Tzu
-
“Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.” - Carl Sagan
-
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” - Charles Darwin
-
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

“At one point in your life you either have the thing you want or the reasons why you don’t” - Andy Roddick
GOALS:
Everyone has different goals in life; different things they want. With me, I want to be the best at pickup; I truly do want to be great at this. I want to become the best not for a specific title, or to have fame, or to have people look up to me; I want to be the best because I want to have the same skill that the best have; I want to pickup a girl at anytime, in any place. I always strive to my maximum potential to be a better man. This is something that I really enjoy doing.
The more you are focused on your goals, the more you will get what it is you want. Here are the 4 ways to create goals:
-
Write your goal in the positive.
-
Write your goals in complete detail.
-
Write your goals down in the present tense, first person, as if they are currently true.
-
Rewrite your goals until you can feel that they’re inspiring.
After we write down our goals, we want to have an outcome-focused, purpose-driven action plan. Here is the ultimate success formula:
-
Know your outcome
-
Know the reasons why. Why is this outcome a must for you?
-
What would happen if you don’t do this now?
-
Why must I do this now?
-
-
Take massive action – break it down into sub-goals or sub-actions.
-
Know what you are getting.
-
If it isn’t working, try something else.
Another good thing is to know what type of girls you like. If you know what type of girl you like, you can form a clear idea of what you want and what you don’t want in a girl that way you can make a better decision with what it is you want. It’s good to be social in general and not attach any specific outcome to a specific girl, but have an idea of what kind of girl you want.
I love women. I love all kinds of women. With me, I want a well-rounded woman. She has to be somewhat in shape, and has to be naturally attractive. I really like brown-eyed straight-haired-brunettes. I want a girl that knows how to be sexy. I love it when a girl is ambitious and motivated to push themselves. I love a girl that’s into self-improvement. I love a girl that can be genuine with me; one that doesn’t put a front on. I like it when a girl has some type of creatively intelligent side. Generally, I see that with her wit and humor. I love a girl that’s animated or more so playful. I like a girl that takes care of herself. I love a girl that’s independent, but not too independent. I think the perfect balance of the two is very attractive.
I am in this because I want abundance and choice to have someone I really want in my life. I want to be able to have the skills. I find this fun and interesting. I get a kick out of it whenever things work, and when things don’t, I use them as positive learning experiences. I am deeply passionate about this, and so I’m in a position where I must do these things, and so instead of waiting for perfection, or waiting for the right time, or waiting to do a 30-day mission, I must approach more and interact with people, and immediately try out everything I read. There’s power in momentum.
FEAR:
I want to get to a point where I’m fearless. I know that whenever I have an excuse for my inaction, or fear, it can be smashed. Fear comes from a place of need. If I don’t need something from you, I shouldn’t have any fear.
I think it’s very important to go deep into an understanding of why we have the fears we have, and to further understand why we have it, that way we can figure out ways to destroy it in order to improve our game. The reality of the situation is that it doesn’t really matter what happens, nor does it matter what people thinks of me. Either way, I learn and improve.
In the past, I’ve used the ‘fuck-it’ mentality, which is similar to the Mystery Method 3-second-rule. If I have any idea of something I should do, I automatically have the ‘fuck-it’ mentality switch on, and I do whatever it is I should do. I don’t give a fuck. Do it.
Preparation definitely minimizes fear. Before going out, prepare by motivating yourself, get into the proper mindset, and practice, or simply having something to say for the approach. Have a goal/action plan in motion, but don’t plan for perfection – just have a simple but concrete plan.
A good way to get over fear is by progressively desensitizing yourself to whatever situation you are fearful of. The more I do things where I am forced to be on the spotlight, the more I can perform in those situations. For example, a student can’t back out of giving the speech. Even if the speech turns out to be bad, they must give it. A baby may be scared to walk on its own, but needs the training, and eventually it will get there, but the baby has to try to get to that point where it can walk despite his or her fears.
Braddock from The Mystery Method came to speak for free for the South Florida Lair. Among the many things he spoke about, one of the things was about being a caveman (not in the go caveman sense). He said, “Be the caveman: A caveman doesn’t have a mirror. He doesn’t know what he looks like. And the death rate was very high back then. They had to do whatever they could to survive. Be the caveman.” The history of the ‘fear of the approach’ is a lengthy topic, but the gist of what Braddock was saying is that there should be a sense of necessity to approach rather than letting the fear take over.
Realizations of fear from Neale Donald Walsh
-
It’s not real; you’re making it all up.
-
If the thing you’re afraid of happening, actually did happen, you would still be here which makes it have absolutely no difference at all.
-
Change fear into an adventure, and then your life will be more inspiring and full of excitement.
A good way to make fear seem ridiculous is to blow my fears and insecurities out of proportion. Make them seem even greater than they are. Look at the overblown ridiculousness of it, and laugh at it. Know that the fear is ridiculous and don’t let it stop you.
What would I do if you KNEW you couldn’t fail?
This whole game is about having the balls to take humiliation.
INNER GAME:
Humans have the ability to adapt to situations. If we’re put in social situations over and over again, we’re going to change. Rejection is something that we have to get used to so that we know how to deal with it. It might suck, but inner game is all about developing our inner selves. Those changes need to be made a deep level in order to become the person who you want to be. That’s why you MUST go out and expose yourself to rejection and failure. And yes, it is painful, but you MUST push yourself in order to get that deep identity level change.
Having a deep desire to improve one’s self, the proper beliefs and mindset, and the habit of going out and improving definitely helps build confidence. A strong and deep desire will constantly push us in the right direction to get what we want. We naturally have a system where we try to prove that our beliefs are correct. If we ingrain ourselves with the proper beliefs (by catching our negative beliefs and replacing it with positive ones), we start developing a belief system where we naturally start proving that our ‘new’ beliefs are true.
It used to be hard for me to believe that women wanted me. Sometime I might not approach because I believe the woman might not want me. It doesn’t matter though. What if I were to get a good reaction? What if the woman wants me bad right now? Women have wanted me, and will keep on wanting me. I should expect a good reaction, because any reaction is better than my inaction. And for every excuse not to do something, there are plenty of reasons to do it.
Make a list of positive qualities and use it as a reference as to why you’re a great guy. For me, I have so much going for me, it’s amazing (i.e. improvement, military, intelligence, friends, family that cares, experiences, passions, ideas, etc). A good way to figure out what qualities you have is like this. Take out a pen and paper and answer these question:
-
If I went on a really big TV show where I had to be a loser to get on the show, what bad qualities could I say that would help me get cast?
-
If I went on a famous TV show where I had to be a stud or have some good qualities to be cast, what good qualities could I say that would help me get cast?
-
If Kim Kardashian said something like, “I want you, but give me 3 good reasons why I should get with you,” what would you say?
The reason why these questions are important to answer is so that it gets you thinking and acknowledging the good qualities you have. You don’t need to use your qualities as validation mechanisms for others to validate you (like in the Kim Kardashian question). The questions are meant for you to realize what you’ve got and to use them as empowering tools. After you write down the list of bad qualities, figure out ways to smash those limiting beliefs, or figure out how you can change those limiting or negative beliefs into something positive. Remember out of these exercises you want to empower yourself by focusing on the positive qualities that you like within yourself.
We have those qualities that will give us the success that we want, but they’re not at the magnitude that they should be at. I’m listing some of the qualities that I want to ingrain into myself in order to absorb the qualities that I want. Some of those qualities are: Being high-energy, playful, positive, having a core-confidence, witty, funny, animated, having a strong sexual presence, loud, social, talkative, cool, have depth, adventurous, intelligent, creative, alpha, strong, decisive, etc.
Have a friend barrage me with insults. Don’t let him question it. Just have him do it. Learn to deal with it and be nonreactive to it. This will help give me a strong sense of reality. This is just another inner-game technique to develop that core-confidence and that masculine-core.
Affirmations are not the same as goals, but can be. The mindset, values, beliefs, attitudes, rules, and attributes that accompany these affirmations are what I want to ingrain into me. These are my rules for a life worth living:
-
I have a relentless drive to succeed. A successful person finds many more reasons to go for what he wants.
-
The only sure-fire way to succeed and get laid often is by approaching an ASSLOAD of sets.
-
Just say ‘Fuck it.’ Don’t think about it – just DO it.
-
Be in a constant state of horniness; have a high sex drive.
-
I act through my own intentions. A person with STRONG intentions gets things done. I do things for myself, not for or because of others.
-
I am COMPLETELY outcome independent, and I absolutely don’t care what other people think of me.

The ladies man wants to spend time with women and be around women often.
-
Crash the car, or else you’ll never know how fast you could go.
-
Always be “ON.”

OUTER GAME:
In the American Pimp documentary, recommended by David Deangelo, there was a pimp in there that mentioned that it took him three hours to get ready before he went out in the morning. He said that he had a persona to keep and so he’d put the work into his look everyday.
Some basic things that can be done without spending too much money is getting the teeth whitened, getting some type of look and clothing that puts your image in the sex-worthy guy category, getting something done with your hair, working-out to stay in shape, to get toned, and to feel good. When I look in the mirror and see someone handsome. The persona you give off is what’s sexy. Tyler Durden says that if you’re comfortable with your looks you’re good.
STATE:
State is a decision. It’s a decision where you stop tolerating bullshit from yourself. It’s a standard where you say enough is enough. When you notice some negative thoughts, just say, “fuck that” and decide to go into state – and you’ll go.
Another great way to get into state is by being talkative. Talk to everyone. Make comments to people or about people. Talk to people as much as possible, and you’ll notice that you’re in state.
Draw state from within.
Visualize the person I want to become and exactly how that person would react in situations. Feel what they feel. See what they see. Smell what they smell. This is a simple technique used on stage by actors to get themselves in state before going on stage, because they have to be in state before the stage even though the stage can get them into state.
Listening to music and even singing it can definitely help with getting into state.
Music:
Fatboy Slim – Right Here, Right Now
James Brown & Pavarotti – This is a Mans World
Pittsburgh Slim - Girls Kiss Girls
Unkle – Rabbit in your Headlights
ACTION:
Do things on my own intention, and don’t look to others to do things. I have the instantaneous action mentality. If I have any inclination to do something, immediately do it. Do it now, not later. My actions create the life I live. Don’t think about it, do it. Be relentless. Push past my comfort zone. I am empowered to automatically and confidently do whatever it is I fear knowing that I only stand to gain. Give 100% of myself at all times. I have a burning desire to succeed in life. High risk, high reward. Take initiative and be proactive with what I want, because taking any type of action is better than not taking any action at all. Never accept second-rate behavior from myself. I will not be mediocre in this regard. I have a desire to be successful. There’s nothing that holds me back. I’m always moving forward with positive momentum. I expect more out of myself than anyone could possibly expect. At my core, I’m a leader. I want to have a life that I want to live. All my issues in life, all my problems, and my obstacles, are indicators for taking action. Push myself constantly. I enjoy taking action often, and am motivated by the results. Take immediate action. Take massive action. There’s power in momentum. Anytime I have an inclination to do something, do it! Build my action muscle.
Some of the best guys understood that going out often would help them out. Tony Robbins would say, “Take massive action” and the ‘gurus’ understood this. Tyler Durden went out 1000 nights consecutively. And Sinn has said, “The people that go out on Sunday will be the ones that get good.” It’s not just with going out that one gets good. Success lies within action. What you do when you go out matters the most. Are you pushing past your comfort zone? Sinn got into the game when he was 21. He’s my age now. Extramask touched his first girl and had his first lay when he was 26. There are no excuses at all. People are getting this part of their lives handled, and that should motivate you.
APPROACH:
If you approach, you increase your ability to meet someone new by a lot.
Approach, and open with anything. Use a pre-opener if necessary (i.e. Do you guys know where the Florida Room is?).
Pickup is a screening process. What does this girl have going for her? I want to find out if she can handle me. Is this a girl that I want in my life?
It’s important for me to set some standards for myself. This is how I see my angle of approaching. Talk to anyone. Game any girl I might decide to fuck, generally 6s and above. Game 7s and 8s but put some more effort to convert them to fbs. Convert 8+’s to gfs. And convert 7+’s to friends in order to get a better social circle.
GETTING BETTER:
There are quite a number of ways to get better. Since this is write-up just outlines the basics, I recommend going out with guys that are better than you. Yes, it’s going to force you to man-up and offer value rather than take value, but it’s something that you have to learn. Many people that are good don’t have time to deal with you if you don’t offer value. That’s why I strongly suggest going out with guys that are good, offer value, and learn from them by doing and taking action. Be the observed, not the observer.
I want to leave off with a post from Ozzie:
“Fail big, fail large, fail deep, fail now, fail all night…fail on camera. Go fail. Fail. I am serious.
It is the little failures that bother us deep inside.
Fail large, fail all night. Do the big ass sets that you know you can not handle, get a jealous boyfriend chasing you around the club because you tried to fuck his girlfriend, get thrown out of the club for using the claw too much.
Fail.
Open and fail big.
Get sick and tired of being sick and tired.” - Ozzie
