Dear Speed Seduction® Students and Fans,
When we consider the concept of “charisma”, there are two elements I often point out – particularly when they find themselves rehearsing their lines or what they’re going to say when they approach a woman.
These are: a) stepping into the unknown and b) holding space for the other person to have whatever initial response they are going to have.
A student asked me whether that means “surrendering” to the unknown (a), and making yourself vulnerable of being open to receive (b).
He was close, but here is the true meaning. If you’re feeling the need to “rehearse” or play it in your mind 100 times before just walking up to her, consider this…
1) Stepping into the unknown and being truly ok without having to know ahead of time what is going to happen. You accept that you don’t know, and maybe at first that you don’t like that you don’t know, but you don’t dramatize it or spin around it.
You just don’t know. And you decide to move forward anyway.
2) By hold space I mean:
- It’s ok for them to have their FIRST response. You don’t take their FIRST response as being their final response.
- You don’t REQUIRE their permission OR their support for your new moves and your courageous action.
A lot of guys think that a woman OWES it to them to be polite open because the guy is willing to take the “risk” to go up and meet them/talk to them first.
Well, that attitude is bullshit. The woman hasn’t signed a contract saying that she is REQUIRED to support you in your efforts to improve your sex/love/social life.
You’re stepping forward because it is what YOU , as an adult, have chosen to do and because you are determined(DETERMINED) to bust through your limitations.
Now, can you be determined AND relaxed AND even have a sense of humor about it?
You can if you know how to untangle yourself.
Let me clarify one more thing: just because you don’t REQUIRE certainty or REQUIRE the other person to have a “good response” and be supportive doesn’t mean you don’t take those things as being good or something of value.
It’s just not what determines your stepping forward.
Some guys are waiting to be super-powerful and radiating charm BEFORE they make a move.
Well, yes, you CAN rehearse in charm etc, for sure.
But for some guys, it’s a mistake because they are already too much in their heads and, or THEM, the rehearsing just gets in the way of taking action.
Peace and piece,
RJ
P.S.

It’s time to get off your excuse-making, “I understand but don’t do it” ass, and get moving right now in the real world with the success you’ve always wanted. Click here to Nail Your Inner Game…
Great post, it´s incredible how sometimes you seem to be watching my mind and bringing light exactly where i´m stuck. It´s almost creepy. I´m pretty sure it happens also to many others in the blog. Thanks again…
@Dino That’s why I get paid the big bucks.

this is very true Ross.
If we rehearse rehearsal, then we don’t act.
We need to be able to rehearse action in order to land that HB. There are tons of exercises that one can use to make action better.
But to me the more important learning relevant to life and especially SS is to learn to turn that rehearsal willpower into action willpower (there has got to be a pattern for this i’m not aware of yet). because action creates results and we learn more from the results than anything else (this is because well experience, if you are good at bringing it in, is nearly infinite, language on the other hand is extremely limited form of experience so fuller action is necessary to experience what language cannot give you.)
forgive my poor grammar,
have a great day, thank you for stretching those arms of life to us Ross! Thank you for the SS you crafted and share with us. i feel good trusting you, knowing that “the pilot knows where he is going”
ps.i wish your felines well,
pps. how are they doing? they still energetic?

This thinking is so far ahead and not just in seduction terms. Ross, you are the man.
