Ganz einfach weil ich sie so großartig finde wollte ich nochmal
die 14 LAWS OF LEARNING aus Neil Strauss RULES OF THE GAME posten.
Gerade wenn man sich über seine Erfahrungen, Fortschritte und
Entwicklung Gedanken macht, finde ich sind sie die komprimierteste
Beschreibung des „Weges“ die ich bisher dazu gefunden habe. Es
finden sich mehr Antworten darin als man denkt, wenn man sie von
Zeit zu Zeit einfach nochmal durchliest.
1. Acquire and apply knowledge in
small chunks. Some people are perfect preparers. They want to
gather every scrap of information on a subject before taking action.
And though they seem to be working hard, this is actually a form of
procrastination. The best way to learn the game is to take it one
step at a time. Just learn what you need to get to the next level. If
you can't approach women, just work on openers. When von master
openers, then learn how to continue the conversation. Don't worry
about advanced sexual techniques. You'll soon get there if you
continue to progress by adding one piece at a time as you need it.
2. There is no such thing as rejection, only feedback. A
lot of people get discouraged and give up alter a single setback or
rejection. They tend to take rejection personally, seeing it as a
comment on who they are rather than what it really is: feedback on
what they're doing. Every time you approach a group of people and
something goes wrong, you've been presented with an opportunity to
learn why they responded negatively and what you could have done to
prevent that. If you possess the ability to learn from your mistakes,
then failure is literally impossible, because each rejection brings
you closer to perfection.
3. It's never her fault. Who do you blame when something
goes wrong during an approach? If you catch yourself saying that a
situation was impossible, the guys were jerks. or the woman was just
a "bitch." then you're wrong. It was your fault. It's
always your fault. And that's a good thing, because it means you're
in control. So never blame any person or situation. instead,
demonstrate a willingness to examine yourself and accept criticism
without taking it personally. Only then can you
accurately determine whether there was something you could have done
to change the outcome, or if the outcome was truly
unavoidable.
4. Learn actively rather than passively.
Just as you can't learn
to play football by watching videos and posting in football
newsgroups, the only way to learn to attract women is from real-world
experience. Anyone can sit in a seminar or buy a DVD and learn the
principles. but the guys who win the game are the ones who can apply
them.
5. Don't rehearse negative
outcomes. One of the biggest problems men have when it comes to
meeting women is that they rehearse negative scenarios in their
minds. Often, these become excuses not to go out and try something
new. Instead. get out of the house, make a few approaches, and if any
of these scenarios happens to occur in real life, then
find out what to do. This isn't skydiving: There's little to
no risk of actual harm from being unprepared.
6. Understand how your mind learns. The
psychological field of
neurolinguistic programming (NLP) offers a useful four-step model of
how the mind learns. It can serve as a yardstick to measure your
progress.
■ Unconscious incompetence: You're
doing something wrong, and you don't even know you're doing it
wrong.
■ Conscious incompetence: You're doing something wrong,
and you're aware that you're doing it wrong, but you haven't yet
fixed the problem.
■ Conscious competence: You've learned the right way to
do it. and you're doing it correctly with focused attention.
■ Unconscious competence: You no longer have to think
about something or work on learning it—you automatically do it
correctly. In the parlance of the game, this is when you finally
become a so-called natural.
7. Be willing to go through the pain period. This
game is not an easy one. You'll be forced to confront nearly every
single thing that defines you--every emotion, every action, every
belief. You'll sometimes he apprehensive about approaching a
particular woman, trying a new technique, or changing a behavior.
What separates an amateur from a champion is the willingness to push
through that fear and do it anyway. Here's what Arnold
Schwarzenegger, in his ironpumping days, had to say about it: "If
you can go through the pain period, you make it to be a champion. If
you can't go through it, forget
it. And that's what most people lack: having the guts—the guts
to go in and just say
.. '1 don't care what happens.' "
8. Don't look to friends or family
for approval. Not all of your friends and family will understand
the journey you're about to take. They may tell you that they don't
like how you're changing. They may make fun of you for wanting to
improve. That's okay. It happened to me. It also happened to Oprah:
When she lost weight. she lost friends. This surprised her at first,
until she learned that her largeness had given them an excuse to feel
better about their own bodies. So. when you start attracting women
and adventure, your friends may not welcome it—you've become a
threat to their limiting beliefs and complacency about their own
shortcomings. Let it be their problem, not yours.
9. Be willing to test
new ideas, even if they don't seem logical. Before
I learned the game. I considered myself an intelligent and successful
person. Yet the logic that had gotten me so far in the world wasn't
getting me anywhere with women. In order to make a change, I had to
try some new behaviors. even if they didn't seem logical. I said
things I thought would drive women away, but instead they attracted
them. I wore outrageous clothes I thought would get me laughed
out of the room, but instead they motivated women to approach me. And
that's when I realized that I'd never really been using logic in the
first place—because, as any good scientist knows. before dismissing
a new hypothesis, it's necessary to test it first.
10. Once something works, figure out how
and why it works. There are some men who do great just following
these instructions and repeating the routines. But the ones who
become superstars are the ones who, after a series of successes.
figure out why the routines worked and what made them work. There's
only one rule of pickup. and that rule is: There are no rules, only
guidelines. Once you understand the principles behind each idea,
you'll know when to follow the guidelines, when to dismiss them, and
when to invent new ones.
11. If you don't know what to do, don't leave. If
you run out of material when talking to a woman you've just met,
you're not going to learn anything by running away. Stay in the
conversation and, if you run out of things to say. push it five, ten,
twenty minutes further—even if you have to violate the guidelines
and buy her a drink or ask interview questions. It's the best way to
learn something new for next time.
12. Hang around someone better than
yourself. This is the single best way to improve in any area.
Your mentor doesn't have to be the top attraction expert in the
world, just someone who has a little more skill than you do. If you
don't know anyone who can fill this role, instead of going out to
meet women one night, go out to befriend someone who's good with
women.
13. Make sure that your ratio of effort to results is
increasing. When learning a new way of doing something, most
people get worse at the task before getting better. That's normal.
But you'd be surprised by the number of people who keep putting more
work into something after this transition period, even though their
results stay the same or barely improve. So make sure you're
increasing not just your knowledge but also your results. If you're
not, then take a break. review these rules, examine what you're
doing. and push yourself beyond your comfort zone.
14. Finish what you begin. Most people can accomplish just
about anything within the realm of possibility. Despite this, they
never realize their dreams. Either they quit before they reach their
goals (and always with a seemingly good reason for doing so), or they
don't change their strategy, when something's not working. Roughly 19
out of 20 people who start reading this book won't stick with the
program until the end. Don't be one of those people. Simply by not
giving up, you'll already be in the top 5 percent of men out there.
So, jetzt muss aber auch mal wieder etwas „sinnvolles“ getan
werden. Es ist schon fast Mittag und ich müsste eigentlich einiges
arbeiten. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich meinen Job momentan ziemlich
schleifen lasse neben all dem PickUp-Stuff. In dem Fall mal kein
guter Einfluss auf mein Leben.
