Anyway.. yes.. if you tell someone.. "Sir, take this placebo pill, and tell me if you feel any different".. chances are.. he's not going to feel any different..

Similarly.. explain the magic trick you're about to preform.. and there's no point in preforming it.. it no longer has that element of magic to it..

But there's something important here.. that I hope you don't make the mistake of doing.. (pre-scripting, memorizing lines, faking, or acting).. all of that is Outer Game, and that's not what this thread is about..

Inner Game affords you this wonderful tool when it gets strong enough.. it's called "moxie".. in short, moxie is the ability to hold a fun, interesting, funny, and emotionally stimulating conversation, naturally, genuinely, spontaneously, instinctively and automatically.. With moxie, a conversation can never die out around you.. you'll always find some way to genuinely and naturally turn even dry subjects/topics into interesting, fun, stimulating and juicy conversation.. and this is an attractive quality.. But more importantly.. it's a byproduct of Inner Game, and results from natural and genuine delivery of conversation.. genuine confidence..

So, a word on the attempts to argue once again.. Actually, being pissed off is understandable.. I actually applaud all of them.. it's more towards the mild side.. If I was a woman i'd be really pissed off.. but again, it's understandable.. When we are shown our weaknesses, and ways they can be exploited, we feel vulnerable.. this gets us angry, but after anger, there's just ego.. not willing to accept it.. in denial.. (much like with death).. weak attempts to (isolate, degrade what constitutes the field.. limit to field to include a specific few.. and then contrast the two as "oh, those are just immature, baby girls, who are stupid.. we're smart, we'd never fall for that")..

- What kind of girls are you trying this on? 14 year olds?
- Only stupid girls would fall for that
- Smart, intelligent women wouldn't fall for that
- Women can smell it from a mile away
- When they do, they're either leave or eat you up

(Now, i'm not getting on anyone's case.. and i'm also not telling you to overlook older, married women as potential targets.. although, out of respect, you should stay away from married women.. and older women just want sex anyway from a younger guy..)

Case Study: (Neurobiology-girl, 21, hereby Megan)

- Biochemistry & Physics double-major, accepted to Mount Sinai School of Medicine, looking to specialize in neurology (specifically interested in Parkinson's research)

Like the idiot that I am, I start talking about NLP to keep the conversation going at the moment.. I was shocked.. Megan knew almost everything there was to know about the subject.. She took a course of Neurology & the Brain and fell in love with the topic.. She knew nearly all the works of Milton H. Erickson, Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Gregory Bateson, Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir, and Igor Ledochowski in great detail.. Though I really enjoyed talking for quite a while about the subject, we both loved it, we were both nerds deep inside.. and both huge Darren Brown fans..

Down the line she started talking about the nervous system and how she's working with a doctor now who makes 3D models of the mind to explain what happens in the brain.. At that moment, a switch flipped off in my head, and I delivered perhaps the most powerful pattern on the spot and completely within context..

"I don't mean to interrupt, but since we're on the subject, I don't know if you watch the Discovery Channel or not, you're probably busy to catch it all the time, but I absolutely love it, it's the only channel I watch.. It had this special recently on attraction and love in humans (I didn't want to use the word sex).. It showed 3D models of what exactly happens throughout the entire human body and the brain from beginning to end.. It started off talking about how attraction, just like other powerful emotions such as fear, nervousness, and excitement bring into play the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous system.. And that during those first stages of attraction, the body feels those same sensations taking place.. The first thing that takes place is obviously getting input of the other person, your eyes pick up on the details of their face.. your ears start to notice the unique sound of their voice.. and (touching her knee) things like touch and smell all come into play.. and that's when the whole process starts, that's when the brain sends the message, 'i'm attracted to this person' to the body.. and what was interesting is that the first thing that happens, is that you start to become aware of your breathing, it's no longer automatic.. and while you're aware of how conscious and in control of your breathing you are.. those feelings of nervousness and excitement start to pop up.. and as you take each breath, the chest starts to feel shaky, from all that nervousness and excitement.. that's the adrenaline rushing out.. which causes the very next sensation.. the breathing changes.. while the adrenaline starts flowing, and as those feelings of nervousness and excitement spread thoughout the body, your breathing starts to get much fuller, deeper, and more relaxed.. and at that very moment, the heart starts to pump faster.. you can feel it pounding.. harder.. and now it has the oxygen to do so.. and as it just keeps pounding.. and you can feel it pounding harder.. deeper breaths.. this sensation spreads.. all throughout the entire body.. starting from your head.. going down.. below you.. and then back up.. up and down.. and it's really a mix of emotions.. nervousness, excitement, attraction.. coupled with hyperventilation.. and as you feel all that.. your brain releases a very potent love-cocktail, and first it acts within the brain, it's like a mildly numb sensation.. but then those juices move downwards along your body.. that really gets the muscles to unwind and relax.. and helps regulate the breathing.. and just before that sense of attraction completely takes over.. the body starts to feel warmer.. like it's starting to heat up.. all while you feel those feelings and sensations all around your body.. With me, I thought the most interesting part was how it all looks deep inside.. the brain.. during an active MRI.. the pleasure center of the brain is practically all red.. And what's funny is that the whole body is so busy, that memory doesn't get activated.. so when we think back to those times we felt really attracted to someone for the first time.. we'll never really remember any of these sensations or things that were taking place.. it's almost like those little details don't matter, but they do! Without them.. there would be no attraction.."

(Her faced changed from completely flushed, to blushing, to red.. her breathing changed as I paced her through the whole story.. her pupils were practically fully dialated.. and after that.. she got shy/submissive.. more flirty, playful, smiled more, and touched more.. I didn't even have to go into the whole "you know what the second most sensitive part of the body is? this lips.. most people don't know.. and it's actually, believe it or not, one of the most neglected parts.. blah blah" she had puppy-dog eyes and we kissed mid-way though the night; she was a sh*tty kisser, but that's besides the point)

The point is.. Mrs./Dr. NLP got her @ss handed to her.. and although out of the girls i've dated, she wasn't in the best position to call me on it (i've had my fair share of psychology majors.. most of them children's psychology.. but one was behavioral/cognitive.. and she still didn't call me on it).. she ended up enjoying it.. and that's always the point!

That's the difference between using patterns as part of Outer Game, being fake, pre-scripted, non-genuine, and just looking to get into someone's pants via hypnosis.. and having strong Inner Game, being genuine, natural, not using pre-scripted lines and such things, but instead having "moxie".. and your goal should not be "making her fall for it".. All you're doing is talking.. you're using words.. and you're just there to make her feel great.. emotionally stimulate her.. not manipulate her..

This is all part of natural conversation.. it's just words.. put together in a certain way that get a certain reaction.. when delivered naturally.. and moxie affords you the ability to deliver them naturally.. like a new style of speaking.. able to take anything and make it emotionally stimulating, fun, interesting, and funny.. and this is a quality girls love.. simply because it makes them feel great..

If your intentions are to manipulate "her", then you'll ALWAYS fail.. girls/women both smart & dumb, young and old.. will pick up on it from a mile away.. and maybe they will leave or eat you up.. and rightfully so..

But if your intentions are to make her feel great & amazing inside, and just provide a fun, rich, emotionally stimulating time.. then you'll ALWAYS succeed.. And strong Inner Game and moxie will do just that..
