If Humor is not Your Forte, This Will Help Tremendously

WHATS UP! What's good ladies and gentleman? I'm back for another round of reviewing this current month's IVS. Here's the breakdown of the questions that were asked by Jeremy:
1. Why is humor important?
2. The Pitfalls of using humor
3. What are some ways you can use humor?
4. Inappropriate humor
5. What are ways that someone can convey humor?
6. Routines and...
7. Exercises for humor
Some guys may have been disappointed by the topic of this month's IVS. I mean humor is a pretty easy part of game to get down for most, especially for a lot of seasoned guys. Still even if you're a seasoned guy, I still believe that a lot could be learned from this IVS, and of course if humor is not your forte, this will help tremendously. You probably got two of the funniest Love System's instructors here so that's a plus.
I think where many fail with humor is not knowing how to stop because of the addicting nature of making people laugh aka "The Dancing Monkey." The guys give a simple remedy for it and it goes off of confidence and the self-entertaining idea. When this is mastered, it will not only break your humor game open, but your life also. It's a definite attractive quality to have and the core of, I think, alpha behavior.
With the idea of being self-entertaining, Cajun brings up Tenmagnet's and his infamous game of Jaggering. Read about it on his blog at cajunsblog.com. The idea of jaggering in front of someone you were about to makeout with seems to be defeating the purpose of the whole pickup, but the guys show how this actually can get you more V-A-G-I-N-A.
They also address the frequently asked question by members of the community, "What if she doesn't laugh?" They again deliver here with great advice as Braddock highlights the importance of progressing with humor in set. He brings up the theory of the red, yellow, and green light, and how it can be used to calibrate your humor and reduce the amount of "misses" with jokes. Some may be familiar with the red, yellow, green light theory from previous interviews with Braddock and the OGs will remember it being introduced by Style.
The ending of the interview is where we hit the more practical stuff. The stuff that you can instantly use once listening to the interview. Here we get some role plays, the use of banter, Braddock mentions his phone game product coming out and goes over the chapter of call-back humor. There are several funny routines that are given out.
Braddock also comes out with a genius exercise that if followed should actually up your game several levels, and not just in the area of humor.
I know in my reviews I've hardly gave any bad reviews on the content given, but trust me if I did I would blurt them out. I want to so badly say that Cajun is a free-loving hippie Gallagher wannabe who thinks he's funny, but doesn't realize everyone just wants to see him smash that watermelon, or that Braddock is the white version of Sinbad strutting around with his neon pants stuffed full of condoms AMOGing ever in his path, but I can't. These guys know they're shit. The IVS is probably the best investment someone could make in the community besides one-on-one's or bootcamps. So go get it! Until next time!

"Change her mood, not her mind"
Now, it may be Matador's sleeveless gayness rubbing off of me from watching The Pickup Artist on VH1, but Soul's accent is [so] sexy. Wow, that really did sounded gay, but compared to our accent in Hawaii, he's filet mignon compared to my ground beef.
Speaking of The Pickup Artist show, this season is a total disaster compared to season 1. I understand Mystery might be rushed, but I can't see guys learning sexual techniques when opening still remains a huge obstacle. I strictly watch the show for Tara (who flashed her nicely shaven vagina to the camera last week THANK YOU VERY MUCH) and the crazy afro-asian guy, but I digress...
Female Psychology. It's the very first part of Magic Bullets and aside from inner game, the foundation for a guy's overall game. If you master how women think, game should come easy. Every routine out in the community are meant to hit those special switches of a woman's mind, they're not just words. The understanding of female psychology is at the heart of the whole Love System's theme.
The interview runs 55:36 long. According to Savoy he didn't plan on doing an interview series on female psychology, but gave in when he found a recording of one of his talks on female psychology circulating the internet. "I figured that if this was going to circulate anyway, it may as well come from me directly," he says. Aren't we so lucky.
The guys start off by explaining the eight attraction switches a little more in depth, but not too much. If you've read Magic Bullets, these attraction switches are something that you should be familiar with.
The interview seems to follow the female psyche through the Emotional Progression Model.
We hit opening and attraction first. The guys explain what a woman is looking for consciously and sub-consciously the first seconds of seeing and meeting you. Savoy then mentions the importance of her friends and introduces the concepts of MACRO and MICRO rules.The guys go on talking about humor and how important it is. Humor = Fun. Nobody wants to hang out with a stale loser. The importance of delivery and balance of humor is also mentioned.
The guys then take on the differences of the 19 year-old mind and the 35 year-old mind. Talking about an episode of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" to a 40 year-old MILF might not be a good topic to build rapport. Soul also mentions training older men who believe that gaming younger women is out of his reach and taking him to a fetish club. Kinky.
The guys then move to comfort. They explain how flipping certain switches in her head during comfort can get you less flakes and more lays. Savoy now emphasizes the idea of isolating the target and how important a target alone can be. Guys also need to be aware of the social rules amongst women.
Here's where the interview takes a weird turn as the guys are trying to figure out what signs women give when she wants to go home with you. Here Savoy mentions how he uses coke, no not the soda, to lure women to his house. Thanks to rehab though, Savoy has pulled through. (it's not what you think)
Off to closing. They talk about factors that stop her from kissing you, why girls give out bogus phone numbers, and of course, every guys NIGHTMARE....THE FRIENDS ZONE. Savoy offers a pretty easy routine, if you can call it that, which keeps you out of the dreaded zone. He says it relates to the new Love System's model, which I have no idea what it is, but it seems to include having bigger balls. His solution seems ballsy, but also looks like it would work to avoid getting LJBF'd.
It would be a waste to have Soul around and not talk about day game. He explains a little about day game and the differences it has to night game and how a guy should approach during the day.
The interview ends with the explanation of the differences between the male and female psyche.
I obviously just touched on the subjects that were discussed in this interview and probably didn't do this interview justice. It's not really a must have interview, but if you find yourself not understanding why women do things, this may be the interview for you. Overall still a great interview and good refresher for the advanced.

Fantastic!

Fantastical. A word to describe this interview, yes, but also a word that seemed like it was being used in this interview like "meow" in Super Troopers. Just an inside joke between instructors to see who can say it more. So I looked it up on the dictionary on my Mac, here it is:
Fantastical |fan?tastik?l|
adjective
1 imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality : novels are capable of mixing fantastic and realistic elements.
• of extraordinary size or degree : the prices were fantastic, far higher than elsewhere.
• (of a shape or design) bizarre or exotic; seeming more appropriate to a fairy tale than to reality or practical use : visions of a fantastic, mazelike building.
So there's the word for the day. Fantastical!
So on to the review...
Great interview put out again by Love Systems. It's short and sweet, running for about forty minutes. It'll definitely help out on guys who love role plays and just need help on it or guys who just want to add role playing to their game. The interview kicks off with the guys explaining what role playing is and when to use it during the emotional progression model. Then comes the juicy part.
The guys start giving examples of role plays. You can imagine the role plays coming from these two, especially Cajun, Mr. Sick-Sense of Humor. The fucker is hilarious. Of course, I'm not going to give out the examples they gave, so if you want 'em, $40, Seduction Info - Love Systems - Home NINJA!
This interview is unique in that it has role plays done by Cajun INFIELD. That's right, hear the man lay out the role plays to women and show how to do them correctly. He laid out a recorder in his shirt pocket and granted us access into his sets. The audio is not that great, but you can hear exactly what he's saying and the girls are saying. Priceless.
The interview includes success stories and the role plays that made them successful and they teach you how to create your own role plays, pointing out what you shouldn't do.
All right...great interview

First off, I’m unbiased towards Love Systems products. There are many non-LS products that will help you with pickup, hell, you could probably never read Magic Bullets, listen to an interview, or attend a boot camp by LS and still be able to pull women any day of the week using techniques brought on by other products. But, I have read, watched, and listened to other companies products and can honestly say like Hooked on Phonics, Love Systems worked for me!
I don't recommend sticking to one system and only being loyal to one method. There are guys who go out and do things that are completely against what is thought in Magic Bullets, but they get results, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Being a big fan MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), I thought that high flying Kung Fu kicks and flying through the air like something in Moral Kombat was the way to kick someones ass. Until the UFC started and crushed this idea. Now fighters today train in all arts and like there's no successful one dimensional fighter, there really is no successful one dimensional pickup artist. Sinn said it beautifully when he said, "I don't live in a bubble, and I suggest no one else should either. It's called the community for a reason."
Now off to the reason we’re all here, IVS Vol. 29 Being in State with Moxie & Savoy. This interview runs for 56:39 and is the last interview that will be mailed to subscribers on a CD. Love Systems now sends direct download links via e-mail. A great idea and one that seems that will last for a while. Again, the audio quality is good, but not great. I don’t what is used when doing these interviews, but if I could make one suggestion, it would be to get rid of the static noise. Sometimes I feel like I’m 12 again with my NWA posters hanging in my room and listening to these interviews on a cassette with what I called a boom box.
The interview kicks off with the guys describing what state is. Jeremy points out that Moxie and Savoy have gone in depth with being in state at the Super Conference and how it got rave reviews from those who have attended. They describe state as a tool that is not necessary, but it will allow for more pulls. Savoy explains how state can back fire and send you on a vicious circle.
The guys are then asked to describe the different types of state. Here, Moxie points out two different types: Validation-based and Pure. They both go into detail about each and describe the consequences of each.
Throughout the interview the guys harp on not being dependent on state and not having the need for other peoples validation to get into state. They make the listener realize that having good state doesn’t begin when it’s time to go out, but from the time you wake up in the morning. Having an active lifestyle is highly recommended.
Although, your day may have gone well, many lose focus (and state) once they enter the venue. They go straight up to the bar order a drink and slowly start to fade or become the slow wanderer flagging targets in the club, Moxie put it best when he said, “you’re not a World War II general doing a reconnaissance of the club.” He then goes on with the importance of not discussing game with your wing while the night is still going on and not asking for permission to do approaches either.
Alcohol is also discussed. It’s not called liquid courage for nothing. It seems that both instructors disagree on this subject to a certain extent. Moxie disagrees with consuming alcohol if you’re planning to game women for the main reason of having Alzheimer’s in the morning. Savoy, on the other hand, recommends that if you’re going to drink, make every other drink your mixer. So, if you’re having rum and coke, make every other drink just be coke. Both, point out that drinking will inhibit your ability to see subtle cues from women and may make you not progress effectively through the emotional progression model.
The guys give many ideas on how to improve your state in the venue. Everyone reading this hopefully goes out to have fun and that’s exactly what both instructors teach you how to do. Not only just to have fun, but to do it while effectively being able to pickup women.
Another big thing Savoy points out is checking e-mails or texts on your phone. He points out how this can lower your state and should be done on your down time. I’ve been guilty of this and I’m sure many are also, but those fucking Blackberrys make shit so much easier.
I can see how their seminar at the super conference got good reviews. Many of the subjects and scenarios Moxie and Savoy discussed, I’ve seen or have done before. Again this was a great interview by the returning Moxie and the godfather himself, Savoy. Highly recommended 9/10.

This Interview will Help Your Game
|
|
If the interview series collection were MMA fighters, this interview would easily be in the likes of champions: Fedor, Anderson Silva, or BJ Penn. Having being looked at as the base for great pick-up game, inner game has become a hot topic. Although, being an alpha male is not all of inner game, for me, it is a great majority.
This interview makes Braddock, Sherriff, and Mr. M responsible for breaking down this subject to their eager students. The interview runs approximately for 1:16:42 and the audio quality will not disappoint. The instructors don’t just explain what an alpha male is, but also, techniques that will help you become an alpha of your own. These techniques will not only help you with women, but help in all aspects of your life.
The first part of the interview discusses traits that an alpha male possesses and how wanna-be alphas differ from the pure alphas.
Traits of an alpha can probably recited by most. If you’re not most the instructors lay them out for you. It’s also a good reminder of what you should be striving for.
The wanna-bes are given a beating in this interview. The guys touch on many characteristics of an alpha male that the wanna-be tries to achieve, but in the wrong way. One of my favorite quotes came from Braddock on this subject,
“An alpha male has a healthy competitive spirit, I think, but he’s only competing with himself. So, when he succeeds, he never succeeds at other people’s expense.”
This is something that I’m very guilty of and now see that I’m continuously measuring my accomplishments to others, instead of learning from there success. I’m glad I was able to recognize it and not be blinded by, what they call, my own self-deception.
The 3 gurus emphasize staying on your purpose. This naturally creates boundaries that must be enforced. They go about how this extends out to jealousy, that if your on your passion, your purpose and you enforce your boundaries well, jealousy shouldn’t affect you. They teach listeners how to put emotion aside when jealousy arises and allow logic to take its place.
An interesting topic also covered is the idea of adopting the identity of an alpha male. From Tyler Durden to Maximus, the guys give advice on how to correctly emulate an alpha male so no one goes and starts creating a cult or slicing heads off with swords.
Also, many books are suggested for your reading pleasure. There are even Tony Robbins references in this interview.
This interview is definitely a must have. The idea of becoming a natural is always something a lot of people strive for, but I’m not about to get into the argument of natural game vs. scripted game. No matter what you’re striving for in the art of pickup, this interview will help your game

Packed Full of Information

The Bottom Line |

First off this interview clocks in, according to iTunes, at 1:48:31. I guess no CD’s means no time limit. This interview by Braddock and Mr. M is packed full of information, and with their Social Circle seminars kicking off and being built around gaming 9s and 10s, no two instructors are more worthy to explain 9 and 10 game. The audio quality on the disk isn’t that bad. It seems like they’re both on the phone, so you can only do so much with what you’re given.
I don’t want to give to much away, so I will only touch upon some of the material.
The interview kicks off with explaining the difference between gaming 9s and 10s and regular pick-up game. They highlight parts of game that need to be emphasized, such as sub-communication, and parts that can be put on the back burner, like bombarding her with your DHV stories.
The interviewees (if that’s a word), are then asked how they approach. They touch on a lot of things in detail. The art of pre-approaching, which I’m not use to, but glad it was brought to my attention, is genius! Braddock explains the red, yellow, green light principle, which he also explained in the “Sticking Points” interview, but he goes more in detail on how he uses it for 9s and 10s here. Mr. M lays out his bitch-shield destroyer routines and explains on the assumptions that these girls will make and how you should react or should I say, not react.
Getting access to these women is also another challenge brought on by Braddock and Mr. M. They bring on the idea of a gatekeeper, a social connector that will introduce you to 9s and 10s. They explain how to befriend these people, which may sound easy, but when explained, it has many dynamics for it to blow up in your face.
Frames are a very important piece of the puzzle and Braddock and Mr. M do not disappoint. They speak on the the popular frames in the community, but they also bring in some new ones. Braddock’s “Girls like you understand me” routine and the way it subtly demonstrates many characteristics is gold! They also put a new twist on disqualifying the target’s beauty. I’m not gonna give too much away I’ll let you guys listen for yourselves.
Throughout this interview both Mr. M and Braddock show how important a social circle is to gaming 9s and 10s. They show how you can close women at high rates by using your social circle to your advantage. Which brings us to Braddock’s monster, Slow-Burn Game. This is a whole new way to game. It just slaps cold approaching in the face! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against cold approaching, but I believe to really find a “good/fun” girl and not just some one-night stand with beautiful titties, social circle/ slow-burn game reigns supreme

Good interview! Good Routines to Use.
|
The Good |
Audio quality is good like most. A lot of material is given, from learning to calibrate teasing and saving yourself if you've gone to far. Braddock & DaHunter give many examples of personal routines that they personally use throughout the Lovesystem's Emotional Progression Model. I like the little teasing routines Braddock gives for different situations. He kept spitting them out continuously for about 30 minutes This interview will be helpful to those who fall short in this department.
|
|
The Bad |
DaHunter really took a backseat in this interview. He probably talked for about 10-15 minutes throughout. It seemed he wasn't prepared for this interview or someone called in sick, so he got forced to step in....lol, I don't know, but he really didn't seem at all into "it."

Good topic to cover since most go overboard with the neg concept and cross the line insulting the girl.
Overall:
Good interview! Good routines to use, theories behind teasing were well explained. This will help get rid of teasing as a sticking point.
