It "Explains Things"
|
The Good |
I took a Badboy BC back in Spring 2006 and the famous MM Stockholm BC in 2006 with Sinn and almost the entire MM crew. Therefore, I'm able to assess value of the information given out on this CD.
Jeremy interviews Soul (Lovesystems) and Badboy & Cortez (Badboy Lifestyles). Badboy and Cortez are the experts in direct game. What I really like is that the answers are on a higher level of abstraction and they explain exactly why the method works. The Badboy BC mostly focused on "how to do things" but not on "you should do this, because of that". When hearing this CD, I realized that there are still several things that I can do better.
Personally, I've never been a fan of routines. I tried them a couple of times, but what I found is that they do not give better results than by just doing a strong approach. When you try to tell them stuff like Best Friends Test, they can ignore you (maybe they don't hear you). However, if you do a Badboy-type approach (very ballsy), they cannot and will not.

A short introduction into direct game and the masters of the Badboy crew would have been helpful.

The best things I found are:
-the direct method gets her either IN or OUT. You don't end up spending 2h building rapport with her and in the end she tells you she's in a serious relationship (you wasted 2hrs). That's why for indirect method, you ALWAYS need to isolate, move her physically. If she doesn't comply, it's likely not going anywhere...
-you immediately take all responsibility for the physical escalation
-you sincerly compliment her. If you neg her, she ignores you. As no other guys do sincerly compliment her, she associates you with good emotions and nobody else can give her those.
-investigating her body is so powerful. Why? Because she spent 3hrs in front of the mirror and beauty is what she sells. That's why "you are so damn sexy" is so powerful when delivered properly.
-if you hit on her, she gets interested (with the right body language). You give her what she wants and needs.
-during the day, you should directly hit on her, since otherwise you just end up getting directions.
-...
To summarize, the main reason that makes the product so valuable for me is that it it "explains things", whereas other interviews are "field-tested" (in situation x, I always do y and it works" or worse "..., I did x and it worked"). If you unterstand those things, you can tweak them and do something slighly different but that works better for you.
The audio quality is great.

The CD fits for any experience level
|
The Good |
On this CD two senior PUAs (Speer and Savoy) are interviewed by another senior PUA (The Don). The title "Damage Control" is a little bit misleading, since:
"If you think you are in damage control mode, you are, otherwise you aren't."
Thus, are you are almost never in "damage control mode", it's more about "handling hard sets", things that might go wrong and how to get around this from the initial pickup to sex or the relationship. The interview offers great information on how to handle difficult situations. You can almost always recover from your mistakes if you know how to do it. Some of the tips and tricks given were already put out in earlier CDs (e.g. set doesn't hook, phone flake). However, I see this as a benefit, to make the information more complete.
The CD fits for any experience level. Newbies may get most value out of it, while more experienced people still find those small things that make a large difference.
The audio quality is great.

The Bad |
What the CD does NOT answer is "how do I win her back?", which is REALLY damage. Some people may be looking for answers in this product. However, there aren't. Probably, senior PUAs don't worry about this too much, but some listeners might do.
|
|
The Bottom Line |
buy

So, what I miss in the interview are some hints on how to fix "hardcore damage". The standard community answer is (was) "forget her, next her". However, I think if you know how to play your game really well, you may get around it (means the standard answer is old stuff). I'm thinking of how to recover from DLVs, how to recover from lack of qualification etc. What you do if she doesn't take your bait, what if she sees you as a friend, what if she wants to fight.
I would like to see ideas on those topics on a "relationship management" CD.
Rating: 8/10

Vol 24 Jealousy Plotlines (Braddock, Tenmagnet & Cajun)
|
The Good |
The audio quality is not great (landline phone I guess), but much better than one of the younger Skype recorded interviews where packet losses made it very difficult to understand the speakers.
|
|
The Bad |
Most of the speakers (except Tenmagnet) are talking WAY too fast, making it very difficult to understand them. Also, they are talking too much and not really to the point. The interview starts ok, but later on they are in "monologue mode" where they are just telling "story x of girl y in z". My guess it that it's just their lack of experience doing products like one. If you compare this CD to the older ones with more experienced instructors like Sinn, Savoy, Future etc. (interviewer: The Don), you notice that they give out information really to the point and lay out the general structure what you need to do.
|
|
The Bottom Line |
don't buy
|
|
|
What I didn't really hear (or I overheard it) is that:
-Jealousy plotlines are "playing with fire". You get either amazing results or you completely blow it when you don't know where the line is.
-She needs to feel jealousy at least once so that she knows that she's attracted
-Jealousy punishes her. You shouldn't do that when she's being good
-If a set didn't hook, open another one nearby that hooks
-If you invest too much into your warm-up set, you don't use your full potential. Instead excuse yourself "I need to go to the restroom" and open another set. To make it more solid, introduce the girl you like to the girl you don't like (you look like an asshole, but it improves results).

One of The Best CDs Produced for the Interview Series
|
The Good |
After putting the CD into the audio player, I immediately realized that this CD one of the best CDs produced for the interview series. Two very senior PUAs expand on Cold Reads, what they are and how to use them. Especially the Don who typically used to play a role as the interviewer gives great information.
If you are looking for a "cold read routine stack", this is not what you find in this product. Instead, they both explain the general structure and you can very easily build your own cold reads that are more congruent with the situation, what you are and can be an easy bridge to qualification. As a newbie, you probably will not yet fully understand what they are saying.
The audio quality is also great.
|
|
The Bad |
A minor remark is that Jeremy is not yet that senior in playing the role as the interviewer. You hear that his first answers are read from a sheet of paper. Later on, his questions get more correlated to what The Don and Savoy are saying (not read from paper anymore). The Don was great at interviewing because he knew what's important and what answers he would get.

The Bottom Line |

Summary:
Cold reads are one of the most powerful tools in attaction. Instead of "What do you do, where you're from?" interview style mode that requires her compliance to answer, you can pull off the same by doing cold reads "You look like....". First, it's interesting for her to hear something about herself and second, it doesn't require her compliance. Or, it raises her compliance level when you deliver a neg as a cold read (generates attraction).

With it, I'll likely overcome my biggest sticking point.
|
The Bottom Line |
buy
|
|
|
Pros: This is the CD I like most so far. With it, I'll likely overcome my biggest sticking point. Sinn and Savoy outline in detail what they are doing exactly with a phone number. When to text, when to call, what to say etc. How to avoid coming across as needy or too interested. They are giving out "new stuff" that works better than any other information I collected so far on Phone Game. Push/pull tactics, open loops, getting her to invest, building comfort etc. They really know their stuff. You immediately realize that this stuff has been intensively field-tested.
Very few community products have so much highly condensed information besides the VAH.
Cons: I only listened 1.5 times so far. Maybe I'll find something later.

One of the Most Important CDs to Help your Game
|
The Bottom Line |
buy
|
|
|
Pros: Personally, I think this is one of the most important CDs to help your game. It explains how to calibrate your IOIs and IODs properly and how to make the girl jump through your hoops. You also learn how to give the girl legimitate IOIs for qualifying herself to you and how to give her IOIs when her personality is not that developed.
Sinn's most important statement: "Once you hint at accepting her, then at not accepting her".
This is valid for the whole pickup. She gets conditioned to chase you to get that validation.
Cons: None
Rating out of 10: I'll give 9, since I heard that Vol 10 on Phone Game should be even better.
