Pick Up Artist VH1 - Takeaways September 30, 2007

Takeaways

Practice timing your backturns and other indicators of disinterest to coincide with sparks of attraction. Just at the moment when she feels most emotionally stimulated or in need of validation, you turn away slightly, causing her to lean in a little more. "Wait, what you were saying about that little dog?" It takes practice to get the timing down. Remember, the attraction is only a tool to be used as bait.

When she pulls you back, you intermittently reward her with IOIs. Isn't it interesting that a takeaway is best done just after a DHV, when the target has just experienced a spike in attraction? That is the time that she is most likely to chase to get you back. Similarly, it's best to give an IOD just before escalating, since it makes it more likely that she will accept the escalation. For example, if you turn your back on her just before you kiss her, she will be more likely to accept the kiss. These sorts of tilings must be experimented with in the field in order to be properly calibrated. Incidentally, this takeaway aspect of A3 corresponds to the third law of the Tao of Steve: Be gone.

This is a useful time to use sniper negs such as "eye boogers," "you spit on me," "here's a napkin," etc. Remember, you don't get blamed for the eye booger, God does. You aren't trying to make her feel embarrassed, it just happened. It is at this time that she wants to regain your respect, and she wants to feel good again, so when you make your move, she won't get all cocky and pull away. She'll accept it because she felt embarrassed and got all quiet. Of course, you don't want to reward her for being a goof, because that would be incongruent So you amp up her embarrassment by acting disinterested for a bit, then you play nice guy and say, "Don't be embarrassed for being human".. .then you stop being into the conversation for a bit. In that state of mind, she is extremely susceptible to escalation.
