The Look Of Confidence – Heartiste
Self-satisfaction will see a man through all sorts of tribulations. Radiating confidence, deserved or irrational, is what is most attractive to women. This man looks confident, and his wife stands by him. She has the mousy, hunched over posture of a woman in love. All else that’s objectively negative about him fades to insignificance in the matter of what stirs her heart.

A Father's Question – Heartiste
As a responsible father the setbacks you most want your son to avoid are: One-itis. LJBF. Surprise dumpings. Grinding celibacy. Divorce. Marriage to an ugly feminist. Give him the knowledge and tools to circumvent those unhappy fates and the wisdom of your experience and you will be a hero to him for life.

Why Game Is Important For Fathers – Heartiste
My only advice I have for the young man who emailed me: 1. Stop beating up on yourself and acting so goddamned melodramatic. You have much insight for your age. Your intelligence will take you far. Now what you need is calm and wisdom. 2. This too shall pass. 3. The big picture trumps the little picture. 4. Stay away from your mother as much as humanly possible. She is damaged goods for you. Single moms, even your own flesh and blood, are poison for your growth as a man and a ladykiller. 5. For ...

The Limits of Game – Heartiste
Now, instead of toiling for years as a cog in the machine, giving til it hurt, to win the heart of a marriageable woman in a socially-approved manner, men were, in effect, mimicking the traditional alpha male through a process of data compression. The confident body language and cocky humor of the CEO or BigLaw sleaze-bag could be had by the common man for pennies on the dollar. Most men scoff at this. It takes many demonstrations by pioneers before the average guy will lose his long-held belief...

Two Exceptions To Game – Heartiste
The girl you are dating is head over heels in love with you: you are in the do-no-wrong zone, my friend... There’s a catch -- this magic window only lasts about three months... The downside with this scenario is that you have to date at least two points lower than your market value equivalent.

The Perfect Christmas Gifts For Your Girlfriends – Heartiste
The Chateau Gift-Buying Guide. If she is a mistress: Something perishable, like a dinner or bouquet of flowers. You don’t want evidence of your infidelity lingering on either you or her. Upside: Keeps her expectations low. If you give her expensive stuff she’ll assume you’re thinking of leaving your wife to be with her. Downside: A mistress always has you by the balls, unless you have managed the trick of persuading your wife to the spiritual benefits of polygyny. Go cheap on the gifts and she m...

Undercover Orbiter Strategy – Heartiste
Maximize your odds of a bang with the torment of your dreams: 1. Always talk about the girls you are dating, fucking, or seeking the same from to your girl “friend”. 2. Limit your friendzone time to drinking, shows, art exhibits, and house parties. 3. Immediately and without qualification change the subject when your girl “friend” begins talking about a guy she likes, or the dudes she’s fucking or wants to fuck. 4. Don’t make a production of her wistful musings about other guys, though. 5. You’r...

Betas can Find Love too – Heartiste
My suggestions for how losers in love can turn their fortunes around without lowering their standards: 1. Travel to an economically depressed second tier country like Russia or its East European neighbors where the culture is not too different and the women are known hot commodities. Downside: avoid getting conned. 2. Not keen on the hassle of traveling and importing a first rate piece of ass? Try scooping up the ones who shell out their own travel expenses and come here to the U.S. Downside: mu...

The Easiest Way To Bang A Hot Chick – Heartiste

Owning A Dog Is Training For Owning A Woman – Heartiste
Like dogs, women will walk all over you if you let them. Like dogs, women will test you for your alpha status the moment you show weakness. Like dogs, women need to be trained. Like dogs, women respond best to strong verbal and nonverbal commands. Like dogs, women will eventually take to the leash, metaphorical or literal. Like dogs, women want to be told to roll over. Like dogs, women will hump anything if you allow them.

Ectomorph. The Right Game For Your Body Type, Part 3 – Heartiste
Ectomorphs also have major pickup flaws which they must address, or they will find the game of love to be a mountain too high to climb. 1. An immobilizing hesitancy to approach girls or open sets. 2. An inability to react promptly to shit tests. 3. Calibration. 4. Alpha male voice and body projection. 5. Kino. Ectos are uncomfortable touching women.

Mesomorph. The Right Game For Your Body Type, Part 2 – Heartiste
The mesomorph is your classic aloof, asshole alpha male. He’s not trying to be an inconsiderate jerk - well, not always - he just is... Because the mesomorph is a man of occasionally thoughtless action, direct game will be his bread and butter... Mesomorphs’ love for action and escalation means that they are often bad at calibrating women’s receptiveness. The classic meso is the gung-ho military man who misreads a woman’s interest and bungles the pickup by being too aggressive and obstinate... A...

Endomorph. The Right Game For Your Body Type, Part 1 – Heartiste
In summary, endomorph game should be adapted toward building value through social fearlessness, humor, deep rapport and savvy group set management. Endomorphs will rarely get AMOG'ed because they are so friendly and sincere – and lacking in threatening mesomorphic musculature – that they put other men at ease. Once endos are welcomed into a group, which usually happens quickly, they have to avoid the temptation to be a group plaything, and instead to focus on separating the target from her frien...

She Insulted You. What Now? – Heartiste
“Hey! I said... don’t use that fucking word with me again...... Got it?” The next twenty minutes, she is withdrawn, her demeanor chastened and her arms modestly crossed in her lap. You swivel to face the group and smile warmly. Instead of forcing the conversation to return to an artificial crescendo, you remain calm and allow the prior energy level to reformulate on its own. Which it does, almost. Eventually, even your girl has managed to reconstitute herself, although you note with great pride ...

What Is Anti-Game? – Heartiste
Anti-game is trivial. 1. get misty-eyed at emotional shit. 2. bore her with details. 3. constantly let her re-frame. 4. buy her drinks, outside of a date context. 5. compliment her gratuitously. 6. talk about your hobbies with oblivious enthusiasm. 7. never ask her a question. 8. never look away. 9. let her see your shit-eating smile. 10. accede to her manipulative horseshit. 11. never, ever say “horseshit” in conversation. More anti-game behaviors and traits: 12. Constantly remind her how happy...

Penis Pic Game – Heartiste
Maxim #91. Women will screech louder the closer your words get to damaging or exposing vulnerabilities in their sexual market value. Basic rules of engagement: 1. You don’t have to send a pic of your own penis. 2. If you send a pic of your own penis with authenticity in mind, make sure you are packing heat. 3. Send a flaccid penis. 4. Include the balls some way. 5. Shoot from below. Personally – I would run penis pic game, but a phone with a 24 inch screen hasn’t been invented yet....

Stealing Bait From Women Fishing For Compliments – Heartiste
Women who make it obvious they are fishing for compliments generally fall in three main camps: 1. Hot babes who live and die by continual positive feedback on either their beauty - from aloof men they like - or their personality/smarts - from women and men who only recognize them for their beauty. 2. Aging beauties who need reassurances in the face of their impending expiration. 3. Women in relationships who are feeling anxiety that their men are losing interest in them....

“I have a police record. What do I tell girls?” – Heartiste
If you are truly worried that your police record will cost you lays and love, you should consider the misinformation move. Just toss out a nickname you go by so that she can’t find your record online. If, at some distant future date, you and her are still together, you may reveal the full extent of your badass-ness. It will be like love is blossoming all over again for her. She will remember the moment as possibly the greatest gift a man has ever given her.

The Love Test, A Routine – Heartiste
Six questions: 1. “You have a lover, a man who is everything to you. He lives apart from you, but within walking distance. One day you decide to visit him. You have two paths you can take to get to his home. One is a short but boring path that will get you there quickly. The other is a long but scenic path with many beautiful sites that will take longer. Which do you take?” 2. “Along the path you come across rose bushes. The roses come in two colors -- red and white. You decide you want to pick ...

Nuclear neg.” “If a girl says ‘Hi’ to him, he’ll say ‘Don’t kiss me, I have a girlfriend.’ If she gets too far into his personal space, he’ll scold her: ‘Don’t touch me! You’re not my girlfriend.'” “And the girls find this charming?” “You wouldn’t believe it."...

How To Remain Unflustered Like An Alpha Male – Heartiste
Here are some actions and lines you can use when a woman has challenged you - and revealed her blossoming attraction for you. You have to be a bit of an actor to pull some of these off, but seduction is, in its essence, the art of acting... The key to many of these is a bemused or neutral facial expression. Body language should be slow and deliberate, bordering on instilling discomfort. - Arch eyebrows. Stare at her for three seconds. Look away. - Look her over with neutral expression, draw in l...

Brushing Off Common Shit Tests From Girls – Heartiste
A big mistake I see a lot of men making -- besides an inability to recognize a shit test when it is leveled at them -- is sounding spiteful in response. The critical distinction to make when volleying a shit test is to avoid confusing sneering umbrage for cocky indifference. The line is surprisingly thin... Be the latter. Good rule of thumb: if your reply to a shit test would sound like it is coming from a man who cares that his feelings were bruised, don’t say it.

The Subtle Art Of The Insidious Neg – Heartiste
You’ll note three things in my response. 1) I didn’t back off from my initial assertion. Nothing kills tingles faster than defensiveness or apologia. 2) I continued the ruse under the assumption that my insidious neg was actually a compliment. 3) I added the qualifier “usually” as a means of keeping her hamster in full throttle spin mode. Negs often can be as simple as one-word descriptions that are as easily interpreted as unflattering observations as they are as compliments; and therein lies t...

Cheap And Easy Ways To Raise Your Value To A Girl – Heartiste
Don’t call back right away. Never buy better gifts for her. Dress better than her on random days. Take frequent leaves of absence. Preferably international. Drag your feet about introducing her to your friends and family. Never give her spare keys to your place. Don’t live together. Subtly acknowledge other girls flirting with you. Don’t ask questions about her. Get drunk without her. Cancel dates. Show flashes of anger. Occasionally be emotionally distant. Muse wistfully about past lovers. Neve...
