QUOTES

“Just having information for information’s sake, just theory, isn’t actually technically of value. You need to be able to put it into practice in some way.” (1:25)
“You’re going to do a better job of finding out a girl’s blueprint the more you can understand her, relate to her, and sympathize with her.” (3:15)
“For most men, the problem they make is caring too much about what girls think about them and also bending over backward for girls too much already.” (6:00)
“...but you can tell certain things about blueprint just from a glance oftentimes.” (9:30)
“You’re going to go in with your best possible guess and then as new information arises you’re going to continually adjust your guess to that new information and that’s how you’re going to have an idea of what the girl’s blueprint is.” (13:50)
“So if you were a smaller guy but you were able to give her that feeling of safety and social status, you would get that same emotional response that she would think would typically be reserved for a tall guy.” (21:35)
“I’ll be talking to a girl and she’ll say or do something or a few things and it just clicks in my head that this is the exact blueprint of a girl I’ve dated before.” (27:10)
“So there are different ways that I may convey what I do to different girls but fundamentally I’m still conveying to them the same job and the same life.” (32:15)
"Blueprint should be used in a win-win way rather than in a win-lose way." (36:15)
