  • 00:00:01
    so my friend and I are out doing some
  • 00:00:03
    cold approaching with women just for fun
  • 00:00:05
    just to test our confidence a little bit
  • 00:00:07
    but we have a spin on it which I'll get
  • 00:00:10
    to in a minute and it's probably my
  • 00:00:12
    third or fourth girl at this point that
  • 00:00:14
    I'm talking to I walk up to this girl
  • 00:00:17
    and I try and start a conversation with
  • 00:00:19
    her but she is just fixated on her phone
  • 00:00:22
    her eyes are locked on she doesn't even
  • 00:00:24
    look at me in the eye once she's giving
  • 00:00:26
    me like one two word three word
  • 00:00:29
    responses to my questions she does not
  • 00:00:31
    want to talk to me and that reminded me
  • 00:00:34
    that if you are not a good listener in a
  • 00:00:36
    conversation you are not a good
  • 00:00:38
    communicator it is the most important
  • 00:00:40
    thing but this girl was not listening to
  • 00:00:43
    me for a reason which I'll get to in a
  • 00:00:45
    minute when you are in conversations
  • 00:00:47
    with somebody when you're listening to
  • 00:00:48
    me right now I want you to find the key
  • 00:00:51
    words of my conversation and by simply
  • 00:00:55
    doing this what I do this all the time I
  • 00:00:58
    simply reiterate what somebody just said
  • 00:01:01
    let's say you're talking about going on
  • 00:01:02
    a Hol of barley oh yeah bro last week I
  • 00:01:05
    went on a Hol of barley and it was
  • 00:01:06
    awesome man you would simply say bar
  • 00:01:09
    tell me more about it I haven't been
  • 00:01:11
    there I know this might sound really
  • 00:01:13
    strange or just too simple but trust me
  • 00:01:16
    this works if you take the key words out
  • 00:01:19
    of somebody's conversation and you
  • 00:01:21
    simply repeat them but say it in a tone
  • 00:01:23
    that you know asks as a question to them
  • 00:01:26
    Chi bro your your conversations will
  • 00:01:28
    flow much more natur natural I do this
  • 00:01:30
    all the time and the reason I say that
  • 00:01:33
    first is because if you are not a good
  • 00:01:34
    listener when you speak to people you're
  • 00:01:37
    not going to be a good communicator
  • 00:01:39
    listening is the foundation to the house
  • 00:01:41
    if that is not built your communication
  • 00:01:43
    aka the house is just going to collapse
  • 00:01:45
    it's the foundation nobody sees it but
  • 00:01:49
    it reflects in the ability to build a
  • 00:01:51
    great house and that is the ability to
  • 00:01:52
    you know communicate but let's go back
  • 00:01:55
    to that day when I was going out and
  • 00:01:56
    cold approaching women for the first
  • 00:01:57
    time with my friend the night before
  • 00:01:59
    that we'll playing some PlayStation
  • 00:02:00
    together and it was a Friday night and
  • 00:02:02
    I'm like bro you want to meet up
  • 00:02:03
    tomorrow play some basketball or
  • 00:02:05
    whatever and he suggested how about we
  • 00:02:07
    meet up and we Cod approach some women
  • 00:02:09
    together and bro my heart started
  • 00:02:12
    beating as soon as he said that because
  • 00:02:13
    if I said no I just said I was free all
  • 00:02:16
    day if I said no I was a if I said
  • 00:02:20
    yes I just put myself in the most
  • 00:02:22
    uncomfortable situation ever I haven't
  • 00:02:24
    really done this before I am super
  • 00:02:27
    scared I said yes I didn't want to be a
  • 00:02:29
    but I suggested an idea that made
  • 00:02:32
    the whole cold approaching process so
  • 00:02:34
    much easier and so much less daunting I
  • 00:02:38
    suggested to him how about we go up and
  • 00:02:41
    talk to women we act as awkward as we
  • 00:02:44
    possibly can in front of them this gets
  • 00:02:47
    rid of the need to perform the anxiety
  • 00:02:49
    to perform in front of a girl if you st
  • 00:02:51
    in a conversation right if your face
  • 00:02:53
    goes red or you have that awkward
  • 00:02:55
    silence all of this doesn't matter
  • 00:02:58
    simply because the goal of talking to
  • 00:03:00
    women because the goal of talking to
  • 00:03:02
    people is to be as awkward as you
  • 00:03:04
    possibly can that is the challenge and
  • 00:03:06
    whenever the conversation was coming to
  • 00:03:08
    an end I would simply say to them hey
  • 00:03:12
    that was a complete joke I was trying to
  • 00:03:14
    act as awkward as I possibly can while I
  • 00:03:16
    was talking to my friend and I just
  • 00:03:18
    doing some stupid jokes and sometimes
  • 00:03:20
    the conversation would end there or that
  • 00:03:23
    would be a gateway to actually getting
  • 00:03:25
    to know this girl no but in all
  • 00:03:28
    seriousness I want to get to know you
  • 00:03:29
    what's your name or whatever if I
  • 00:03:31
    haven't you know asked her your her name
  • 00:03:32
    yet but you don't need to do that you
  • 00:03:34
    can just end the conversation there if
  • 00:03:35
    you want this does a very very good job
  • 00:03:38
    at getting your mind used to being
  • 00:03:40
    rejected because when you become used to
  • 00:03:43
    being rejected you can go up and talk to
  • 00:03:45
    girls without very much fear if I went
  • 00:03:48
    out and did that cold approaching thing
  • 00:03:49
    again it it's it is not as daunting as I
  • 00:03:52
    did the first time but bro no jokes if
  • 00:03:54
    you struggle with talking to women that
  • 00:03:57
    much that you can't even say a word to
  • 00:03:58
    them grab one of your buddies if you
  • 00:04:01
    have one if you don't have one join an
  • 00:04:03
    online community or something like that
  • 00:04:04
    get one of the dudes in that Community
  • 00:04:06
    from your area you schedule a day go out
  • 00:04:10
    there do this challenge with him and get
  • 00:04:12
    your mind used to rejection look bro I
  • 00:04:15
    know it sounds you're just going to
  • 00:04:16
    embarrass yourself but man it is one of
  • 00:04:18
    the best things I've ever done and I can
  • 00:04:20
    say that with pure confidence all right
  • 00:04:23
    and once you do this once you start to
  • 00:04:24
    feel com like comfortable getting
  • 00:04:27
    rejected then actually try and talk to
  • 00:04:30
    girls and on top of that another thing
  • 00:04:31
    that has really helped my communication
  • 00:04:33
    and just my confidence in general is
  • 00:04:36
    when I'm out you know going shopping or
  • 00:04:38
    just I'm somewhere in public right and I
  • 00:04:41
    see a store that I I have like a semi
  • 00:04:43
    interest in there might be a product in
  • 00:04:45
    there that you know I find interesting
  • 00:04:48
    and it's not packed with people that I
  • 00:04:50
    can just go in there and the owner or
  • 00:04:52
    the person that the the register just
  • 00:04:53
    says hi to me I will go in there and
  • 00:04:55
    just simply ask a question about a
  • 00:04:57
    certain product that I find interesting
  • 00:04:59
    and that is such a good way to come up
  • 00:05:01
    with a conversational idea you and this
  • 00:05:04
    person probably have something in common
  • 00:05:06
    if they're working there they probably
  • 00:05:08
    know something about this product as
  • 00:05:09
    well if you like video games go and
  • 00:05:12
    talk to the guy standing at EB
  • 00:05:14
    Games or GameStop about a certain game
  • 00:05:16
    that you find interesting right just go
  • 00:05:18
    and do that it doesn't need to lead
  • 00:05:20
    anywhere it simply helps you build your
  • 00:05:22
    confidence this is for people who are
  • 00:05:24
    extremely scared of going outside
  • 00:05:26
    because I know that's a lot of you this
  • 00:05:28
    is what I would do those two things
  • 00:05:30
    start with the you know start with the
  • 00:05:32
    conversation in the in the store thing
  • 00:05:34
    and once you know you kind of build your
  • 00:05:36
    confidence up a bit that you can
  • 00:05:38
    intentionally embarrass yourself go out
  • 00:05:40
    and intentionally embarrass yourself but
  • 00:05:42
    there's been a few women in my life that
  • 00:05:46
    I've actually had to perform for and
  • 00:05:48
    that sounds really really wrong but you
  • 00:05:49
    get what I mean by that I can't go up to
  • 00:05:51
    them and act as awkward as I possibly
  • 00:05:53
    can right if I want to date this girl I
  • 00:05:58
    need to be at my best and might be your
  • 00:06:00
    crush at school your crush at work it
  • 00:06:02
    might just be an attractive girl across
  • 00:06:03
    the street that you want to take out in
  • 00:06:05
    the date when you need to be the best
  • 00:06:07
    you these are the two things I have for
  • 00:06:10
    you number one and most importantly you
  • 00:06:12
    need to be especially if you know this
  • 00:06:14
    girl like a crush at school for example
  • 00:06:16
    you need to be the dude that actually
  • 00:06:20
    attracts this person right you can't be
  • 00:06:23
    a dude who sits in his room all day
  • 00:06:24
    jacking off four times a day and expect
  • 00:06:26
    you know I don't like to say this cuz I
  • 00:06:28
    don't really like to compare people but
  • 00:06:30
    a high value girl right a girl that is
  • 00:06:33
    high value to you if that makes sense I
  • 00:06:35
    that's probably not the best wording but
  • 00:06:37
    you get what I mean by that you need to
  • 00:06:40
    be the person that this girl or this guy
  • 00:06:43
    finds attractive not just physically but
  • 00:06:46
    Also spiritually as your character your
  • 00:06:49
    personality so many things all you can
  • 00:06:51
    do is be the best version of yourself
  • 00:06:54
    the best version of you and usually that
  • 00:06:56
    is attractive to a lot of people the
  • 00:06:58
    second thing I have for you don't force
  • 00:07:01
    anything especially if you know this
  • 00:07:02
    person personally if I had a crush at
  • 00:07:04
    school right now I don't but if I did I
  • 00:07:08
    would not force anything I would not try
  • 00:07:10
    and force a conversation because
  • 00:07:13
    someone's absence makes their presence
  • 00:07:15
    valuable and I want you to remember that
  • 00:07:18
    that doesn't mean that when an
  • 00:07:19
    opportunity arises you do not take it
  • 00:07:22
    however don't force anything and that's
  • 00:07:24
    like the last day of school and you have
  • 00:07:26
    no other chance to get with this girl
  • 00:07:28
    then you have to kind of force something
  • 00:07:29
    but if you know that you will see this
  • 00:07:31
    girl every single day for a couple more
  • 00:07:33
    months or a couple more years speak to
  • 00:07:35
    her yes but spend the majority of your
  • 00:07:37
    time from my just from my personal
  • 00:07:39
    experiences someone else might have a
  • 00:07:41
    different experience and they completely
  • 00:07:42
    disagree with me spend the majority of
  • 00:07:44
    your time becoming the person she would
  • 00:07:46
    actually be attracted to aka the best
  • 00:07:49
    you it's all it's all you can do you
  • 00:07:51
    can't be anyone else because bro you are
  • 00:07:54
    the prize I'm specifically talking to
  • 00:07:55
    men here but this can apply to women as
  • 00:07:57
    well you know the woman or the man is
  • 00:08:00
    isn't anything below you however you are
  • 00:08:04
    the priz and you have to Value yourself
  • 00:08:06
    like this and that's why I don't want
  • 00:08:07
    you to force anything when you walk past
  • 00:08:09
    her just say hey name if there is an
  • 00:08:11
    opening for a conversation take it if
  • 00:08:13
    she's talking to you use that technique
  • 00:08:15
    I Shar with you at the start of this
  • 00:08:16
    video Yeah reiterate what she's saying
  • 00:08:19
    to go deeper into that conversation one
  • 00:08:21
    more thing actually one more thing when
  • 00:08:23
    you do talk to this specific person I
  • 00:08:25
    don't want you to seek validation from
  • 00:08:27
    them I don't want the point of the
  • 00:08:29
    conversation the purpose of that
  • 00:08:30
    conversation to be for validation from
  • 00:08:32
    her right I want you just to speak to
  • 00:08:35
    him or her just because you can just for
  • 00:08:39
    human connection right nothing you need
  • 00:08:41
    to prove you don't need any admiration
  • 00:08:44
    from this person because once you put
  • 00:08:46
    that pressure on yourself when then
  • 00:08:47
    that's when you start up you
  • 00:08:48
    start stuttering right your face starts
  • 00:08:50
    going red because the aim of the
  • 00:08:51
    conversation has a lot of pressure built
  • 00:08:53
    inside of it Focus your energy on truly
  • 00:08:56
    connecting again that technique I shared
  • 00:08:57
    with you at the side of this video is a
  • 00:08:59
    very very very good way to do that but
  • 00:09:02
    you can only do that when you're halfway
  • 00:09:04
    through a conversation when there
  • 00:09:05
    actually is an idea I know if a girl
  • 00:09:08
    asks me this I would love it people love
  • 00:09:11
    talking about themselves so if you're in
  • 00:09:14
    a conversation with somebody I want you
  • 00:09:17
    to ask this one question tell me
  • 00:09:19
    something about you that I should know
  • 00:09:21
    what makes you special what makes you
  • 00:09:22
    unique what makes you different than
  • 00:09:24
    everybody else yeah you might not say
  • 00:09:26
    this one off rip you you're looking at a
  • 00:09:28
    girl sitting on the Ben you walk up to
  • 00:09:30
    her you sit down next to her and you say
  • 00:09:32
    hey tell me something about yourself
  • 00:09:33
    that makes you different like but
  • 00:09:35
    especially when you're in a flow this is
  • 00:09:36
    a really really good one and any deep
  • 00:09:39
    conversation right that really touches
  • 00:09:42
    with the person's character their
  • 00:09:43
    personality their values their beliefs
  • 00:09:45
    their morals all these things that
  • 00:09:47
    really attend to somebody's deep
  • 00:09:49
    personality traits they are very very
  • 00:09:51
    good cuz it goes deep into who they
  • 00:09:53
    actually are and people love talking

    about that bro trust me I know this
  • 00:09:57
    sounds really really wrong and I've said
  • 00:09:59
    this word so many times but the deeper
  • 00:10:01
    you go the better someone's going to
  • 00:10:03
    take that out of context heavy but who
  • 00:10:06
    who gives a but with all
  • 00:10:07
    seriousness the best conversation
  • 00:10:09
    starters at least from my personal
  • 00:10:11
    experience are the most natural ones
  • 00:10:14
    okay the ones that aren't really forced
  • 00:10:15
    the one I told you before it kind of is
  • 00:10:17
    a little bit forced and sometimes you
  • 00:10:19
    need to do that but the best ones are
  • 00:10:22
    the most natural from my personal
  • 00:10:24
    experiences if I don't have a
  • 00:10:26
    conversation starter I don't start the
  • 00:10:28
    conversation
  • 00:10:29
    if I'm cold approaching then yeah I
  • 00:10:32
    might need to think of one right that
  • 00:10:33
    isn't really natural but especially at
  • 00:10:36
    school or work or if you see this girl
  • 00:10:38
    regularly if you see this guy regularly
  • 00:10:41
    Don't Force anything because people can
  • 00:10:43
    see that and maybe some people like it
  • 00:10:45
    cuz they love the attention that just
  • 00:10:47
    signals to them that you don't value
  • 00:10:49
    yourself and I know if a girl doesn't
  • 00:10:51
    value her herself and she needs me I'm
  • 00:10:54
    not as attracted to her and that's how a
  • 00:10:56
    pure love and respect doesn't mean I
  • 00:10:58
    think anything less of this woman but
  • 00:11:00
    when you do find that natural
  • 00:11:02
    conversation start or you just haveing
  • 00:11:03
    in your mind take action Breo yeah if
  • 00:11:05
    you're feeling really really confident
  • 00:11:07
    on one day do as much talking as you can
  • 00:11:09
    not too much cuz again two ears one
  • 00:11:12
    mouth speak less than you listen but if
  • 00:11:16
    you're feeling confident take action all
  • 00:11:18
    right I'm not perfect I still have a
  • 00:11:20
    long way to go I'm only 18 I don't get
  • 00:11:22
    to do much socializing so I'm not the
  • 00:11:25
    best at it but from my personal
  • 00:11:26
    experiences this is what's really helped
  • 00:11:28
    me become a better Communicator remember
  • 00:11:30
    listening is the most important think of
  • 00:11:32
    that the foundation to the house if you
  • 00:11:34
    do not have that built which is your
  • 00:11:36
    listening the whole house will collapse
  • 00:11:38
    which is your communication skills hey
  • 00:11:40
    I'm going to end the video here I think
  • 00:11:41
    that's all I have to say make sure you
  • 00:11:42
    take action on this not just watch this
  • 00:11:44
    video okay and I'll catch you in the
  • 00:11:47
    next one peace
