Two months ago, we posted the free e-book, The Single Most Important Thing You Can Do To Get Beyond Approach Anxiety.

We had A LOT of downloads and positive responses.

Now I would love to hear YOUR feedback about what worked for you and what didn’t work.

Did you get out there and talk to women? What was the effect?

Were there things you did differently? What helped you the most? How far did you get?

Any and all feedback and criticism would be much welcome.

Post your comments below or on the forum. Or if you prefer to e-mail me personally, that would be great too. I will respond.

Thanks for reading,

Every day, every moment, every first step requires bravery.

I step onto the train. There are people around me everywhere. Everywhere living their lives.

It is time for me to live mine.

But there are always excuses. There is always a reason for postponement. There is always something more to learn, more information to gather.

I cannot do this. And I never could.

Failure stands like a monument in your path. The world’s reflection of you. It always comes down to you, a you not enough.

You are not smart enough. You are not gifted enough. You are not handsome enough. You are not strong enough. You are lack fortitude.

You can’t do it. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s post is by my good friend, Lance Mason, the founder of Pickup 101.

It’s late.

It’s getting later.

She looks up at you, leans in, and you kiss.

“Well, I guess I should go,” she says.

“Yep. I had a great time,” you say.

“Me too!” she says and smiles. Waiting. Standing there, as it’s getting later.

“Have a good night,” you say, and walk away.

And the first few steps you are happy, until something hits you.

You can do a lot of things at home.

You can eat. You can sleep.

You can work. You can read.

You can fuck. You can play video games.

You can watch movies. You can go on the internet.

But you do not live at home. You begin to live when you walk out your front door.

You begin to live when you interact with the world.

How much time do you spend at home alone?

When I started learning how to meet people I didn’t know, I would sometimes feel depressed after a while being out. Read the rest of this entry »

“This is the most important part of the weekend,” I say to the guys in the Art of Rapport and Daygame workshop.

“Now comes the time when we brag about how awesome we did.”

One student is not doing awesome. Or at least he feels that way.

We just spent the last four hours going around Manhattan talking to women in different locations.

We went to bookstores, cafe’s, supermarkets, records stores, in parks and just walking down the sidewalk.

“I’m actually doing worse,” Mark says. “I’ve gotten phone numbers from women before, but today I didn’t get any. It’s like I was so nervous, maybe I was putting too much pressure on myself.”

Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like anxiety.

My heart doesn’t race. My palms don’t sweat. I don’t get light-headed. My throat doesn’t constrict.

But it is there. Like an invisible wall.

My feet will not move forward.

I stand there on the crowded subway platform. I promised myself I would talk to a girl today. Just ask for directions. That’s all.

But I can’t. I physically cannot walk up to her and ask for directions.

What is going on with me?

I see a lot of guys who struggle to do their first approach. It seems like such a simple thing to walk up to a girl and say “Hey, I just wanted to come say hi.”

But your body doesn’t let you. Read the rest of this entry »

Not many people know this, but as men, the most important tool we have for seducing women is our ears.

So few men have mastered the skill of listening.

When learning this stuff, we are usually too focused on what we’re saying rather than listening.

But if you can simply listen well, she will open like a flower.

Listening seems passive, but it’s not. The way she will sense that you are listening to her is by your RESPONSE to what she says.

Below are six ESSENTIAL listening skills. You can practice them every conversation you have with anybody, not just women.

“I hope to say of her what never has been said of any woman…” - Dante

I have an ON switch. When I get into something, I really get into it.

Whether it’s becoming the best pickup artist in the world, crafting the perfect electro album, or becoming a journalist in the Middle East.

I’m focused. And ambitious. Some would even say obsessive.

A long time ago, when I first started as an assistant coach in the Art of Attraction workshop, Sean Messenger was head coach. It was a large workshop, about 16 guys.

He asked at one point how many guys were in the Gifted and Talented program as a kid. Gifted and Talented was a program to help nurture kids who seemed exceptionally bright or talented in grade school.

75% of the class raised their hand.

I did too. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m out with a student on the streets of New York. He is doing extremely well approaching women.

He is continually opening and engaging women who are literally supermodels.

But there’s something wrong.

With all the approaches he’s doing, and all the warm reception he’s getting from these gorgeous women (and they were gorgeous), something is wrong.

The girls aren’t into it in the end.

He’ll ask for their number and they say “I don’t give my number out.”

This guy obviously has it together. He is a fucking cool guy. He’s charismatic, as cool as any guy I’ve met. He has a great life, we talked about some exciting things he’d done. He obviously has a lot to offer.

So what’s wrong? Read the rest of this entry »

She’s dripping in sexiness. Soaked to the bone. Every inch of her.

And you? You’ve got balls. Big balls.

You can walk up to her and say Hi.

No problem. You’ve done it before.

But then the thought hits you and you’re gripped by fear.

What do I say after Hi?

What could I possibly say to this beautiful woman that she hasn’t heard ten thousand times today?

This Thursday night, ApproachAnxiety.com and Brad P present a FREE two-hour seminar with a MASTER of the trade, Glenn P.
