Hello Edge. A couple questions first.
- Are you a ‘community’ guy?
- Which PUA’s have you learned from?
- What style game do you have?
Why does this matter in a Mone thread? Great question. I am on the ball tonight. Just went sarging, had a girl vomit, and got into an Amog war with four stoned dudes over said girl (Before she barfed) and she was not even my target, her friend was. Alas, they were each others ride and I had to handle logistics. But I digress.
Trust, Connection and Rapport in PUA are handled as individual topics under the old MM system. The first problem with this is he isolates then in stages because Mystery, if you ever see him in field, cant really connect with a girl. It is almost unreal how little he cares for the women he is picking up. He needs to systematically create Trust, Comfort and Rapport through techniques. Lets be honest, 99% of guys do not.
I say, look to Sinn for a more sufficient PUA model. He teaches Comfort is a cyclical phase, along with Breaking Rapport (Attraction). A normal dude naturally asks qualifying questions (What do you do for fun?; Can you Cook?; etc.). The normal guy digs deeper and builds a surface level connection. This is Rapport. The process of asking these questions is Rapport. Deeper Rapport is achieved in the process of going deeper into conversational threads.
A person naturally trusts you more as you share more about yourself and then reciprocates the process. Rapport check, Trust check. Trust is strengthened by qualification, compliance and movement. The level of comfort is easily achieved by removing a lack of comfort and anxiety about the given situation. Handle your logistics and lead, boom, comfort is achieved.
In practical terms, this can really take minutes. It is like going to a therapist. After introductions are exchanged a great therapist has you spilling your beans through finely crafted questions in such a time span. You can do.
Slowing down the process HURTS the PUA adventure, if you will.
I am going to break this down further. All PUA methods focus on a few minute approach before attraction. Lovesystem’s has an Open and a Transition. MM has an Opinion opener which is used to get a short conversation about an interesting topic for about 30 seconds to a minute, and you still wait two minutes before jumping into ‘attraction’. Brad P. has a longer approach with a spike of intrigue followed by a short qualification before any BR (Breaking Rapport). Even at such a point ‘Attraction’ most of the time is DHV’ing, and it is not breaking rapport. Breaking Rapport (Neg, Tease, Disqualify, Arguing, Mocking, Take Aways, Backturns, etc.) is used to spike and solidify attraction and Rapport.
The key which 99% of PUA’s FAIL to teach is that you must have a surface level of social comfort to continue. Something only I teach is the framing of that you MUST have some comfort to have attraction. Sinn and AFC Adam use the system of social comfort, but it is highly misunderstood.
When you Game, Cold Reading, DHV, Story Telling, and Pebbles are all Comfort techniques. That is the point you can break rapport. In and of itself, if you BR and she sticks around, she is socially in comfort.
You then jump into the standard comfort phase. But the Trust and Comfort is really already handled through qualification. You establish a connection then. A great PUA does not need mones to create a connection. Nor does the normal guy. I would go as far to say if you cant connect with a person you have some type of issue that I cannot address. The community definition of Comfort is Rapport. That stage is the longest because she needs to trust you enough to sleep with you.
When you have a SNL, she trusts you enough to do so.
This brings me to the point of this PUA thread on I on. The more you BR, the more you run attraction Game, the more she will give you for comfort. She funnels and chases into you.
Practically, when you build up tension in a serious conversation then tease her, she gives you more information and qualifies herself as a result, increasing Rapport.
I needed to make this point before I dive into a Mone point, because when you use IH, it does help you connect faster, but at the same time, it also shortens how long she will allow you to connect before it becomes a friend zone situation.
When I run IH, I have a super short Comfort Phase. I jump into Seduction FAST. Trust is most of the game, and streamlining it with great comfort skills and mones you hurt what you are going for.
IH will allow you to have a deeper and better connection, but keep in mind that you need to BR and do more attraction stuff cyclically to get deeper and keep her interested.
Another issue I see which screams ‘red flag’ is the use of you using mones to mirror her process. In PUA, the top level guys get FAST SNL’s because they see where the woman is at. Pegging yourself into a role which is not congruent screws up your night. If you are super deep and high status guy (2x IH and 2 drops A314) a women who is in the seduction phase will dismiss you. Some women do not need that comfort in such a high degree.
I have met MORE women who need sex to connect with a guy than those who need a guy to get to know them. Sex is a very intimate act and it builds more comfort, rapport and connection than anything else you can do.
If you want a great connection before sex you can potentially miss out on a lot of great women. Often a woman will not reveal her true self before she sleeps with you as she is still ‘Gaming’ you, if you will flatter me and look at it like that.
If you really want that connection with a woman, it is different than spending more time with her. I can suggest a few great emotional concepts to get to know a woman and connect in a ‘love’ type of situation, but realistically that is different than where you seem to be at.
Onto a mix to slow down the candle and comfort process so you can get to know her more.
The key is qualification. You can stretch hoop theory out quite a bit by digging deeper on your hoops. To get a person to qualify you need to be higher value. So A314 would work. To get her to open up to a high status guy, IH is essential to this process.
Bear in mind, that if you go this route you need to be congruent with it and go after that type of woman.
Two types of attraction exist, intrigue and emotional. Great PUA’s stimulate both, for a slower burn emotional process you want to focus on Intrigue attraction so she wants to get to know you and be apart of your life.
Just my opinion buddy.
