Testimonial for Matador by Mehow

Matador has sick game. He is definitley one of the top 10 puas on the planet. One time I had the opportunity to listen to an entire set of his when he was ON ON ON and it was magical. Like levitate off the ground magical. I think the VA guys have that one on tape. Every instructor I know at VA is freaky consistent in field. That said everbody has nights when they walk on water. Everbody has better and worse nights. My videos are actually far from my best work. All of the ones out now come from one night of taping. And you see every set. The only stuff we cut out are things that girls wouldn’t want out there. A few of the women were, well, drunk and did/said some embarrasing things. Keep the criticism coming though. One of the things I learned from Lovedrop early on was to take all criticism and use it to get better and never take it personally. One of the ways to attain a true positive state is to have people constantly criticise you and you just practice using the information while at the same time being not emotionally affected by it. When you get there magically positive things happen (I wrote more about that in the post about the secret). -m
Ten Tips for Success with Women by Mystery from Playboy Magazine

Mystery came up with these as part of a recent interview with Playboy.com. We’ll post a link to the final article when it comes out.
1 ) Get into the habit of starting conversations just for the practice. Release your outcome and find a zen in the process.
2 ) Between approaches, always remember to smile while mingling.
3 ) Lean back and relax when you initiate conversations. Don’t lean in. Speak slowly and expressively. This alone will improve your game by 300%.
4 ) Be chatty – really – and convey a strong sense of fascination. Talk about relationships and the mysterious, and use lots of humor as well as emotional and sensory descriptions.
5 ) Don’t say anything to impress her, such as brag about your job, girls, friends, protectiveness, etc. Instead, obliquely convey value via demonstration and via incidental story details. If she can tell that you are trying to impress her, she will perceive you as lower value.
6 ) Don’t ever act as if anything is a big deal. Just be fun and playful all the time. Vibe with her but don’t have emotional reactions to her. The same way you would act with your 8-year-old niece.
7 ) As you hang out with her, and she has an opportunity to win you over, THEN show her increasing interest. She must recognize that she has genuinely won you over with her personality.
8 ) Balance indicators of interest with indicators of disinterest. Do this both in your conversation with her and also as you escalate with her physically. This has a nuclear effect.
9 ) Wear one accessory that gives other people on opportunity to initiate a conversation with you. Have a good story prepared for when this happens.
10) Have a life. Go to the gym and stay in shape, and continually improve your wardrobe. Cultivate your circle of female friends. Throw parties. Put effort into your social circle. A girl should imagine herself being a part of your cool life.

Program Review for Matador by Obie, New York Bootcamp, Jan 06

That was a great bootcamp.
In some sense I wish I had taken it a few months later because these guys were literally so good that I didn’t really have a cognitive model at the time toapprecitae what they were doing in the field, even though they had just spent the previous five hours explaining evreything to me in great detail. It was like part of me understood it, and the other part of my brain was just going "HOLY SHIT!" the entire time. I remember I was watching JDog sarge the two coat check girls and I had to hold my jaw to keep it from hitting the ground. Awesome.
I wish I had taken even more advantage of the field time by getting more feedback from the coaches, but overall a great investment, and a great time.
As for Matador… this man is just beyond. So alpha, so cool, so charismatic and just plain fun to be around… he pulls you into his reality, and that’s a damn great place to be. More than all the routines and everything, Matador made this bootcamp a real success for me on the second night. I was struggling a bit with hooking sets, which I had been doing consistently the previous night. I was feeling a little frustrated, and Matador gave me some quick tips and guided me through a set to get my energy back up. The real magic, though, came when he pushed me into high energy "kamikaze" sets… I really started going nuts, I stopped thinking about what I was doing and just started doing it. Opening, stacking, multiple threading, kino escalation, locking in, qualifying, I was doing the stuff we had talked about and to my own surprise, I wasn’t thinking about it, just doing it. For those minutes I got my first taste of what Pickup can be like when things come together, and it only happened because Matador took the time to give me personal attention, figured out what was wrong, and solved my problem without me even knowing what it was. Now that I know that feeling, I will be able to search for it during my own time in field, but had I never felt it I think I would have searched for it on my own for many months. Plus he opened a really hot girl by giving her the finger, which was terrific.
The bootcamp has given me a great head start in learning pickup, and somehow without even realizing it, has given me a kick in the ass to improve all areas of my life. When the hell did that happen?
Program Review for Matador by AJNY, New York Bootcamp, Jan 06

Watching Matador work the room was quite awe-inspiring. I never new that this type of skill could be learned or developed. Frankly it was an amazing display of social dominance. As I got to the club early I noticed all these hot girls that eventually you (Matador) locked in with later on. They seemed pretty happy with him. It was truly inspirational.
You really helped the students as they were running their first sets. It was great to hear you start running game on that girl even while you were waiting on line to get in. When you joined her at the bar after getting in you had instant social proof and everyone in the nightclub could notice it. No wasting time at all!
Matador’s ability to turn on a set (light them up) and look like the coolest most alpha guy in the room was awesome.
Since Matador is in his mid twenties and he is huge (like 6’3 or something and like 225 pounds) I wasn’t sure how closely I could duplicate his results, but he certainly opened my eyes to what was possible. Since my brother was a huge bodybuilder and had no game, Matador’s results were eye opening.
I also liked the fact that he was a CS Java programmer tech guy and Indian who turned himself into this Master Instructor. I figured maybe I could eventually duplicate his results and become like a "Mini-Matador." A couple other things I got from Matador were the importance of voice tonality (he suggested voice lessons), and some fashion tips (he said "I looked like someone’s father").
Lastly, his teaching skills were very good in the classroom and his kept on schedule. All in all, he was a great instructor.
1. Matador gamed a cute Hispanic girl on line and walked in with her. She was smiling and laughing. He kinoed her with the trust test (and maybe the TV test). He made out with her. This is within the first 15 minutes or so in the club.
2. In the sets he did in front of me, the targets had BIG smiles on their faces in the conversations with him. They were not looking away, they were not asking to be rescued by their friends. The targets were contributing to the conversations. The targets were laughing.
3. They had extremely positive body language toward him.
4. After students fucked up sets and the girls were losing interest, he was able to enter the set and re-open the set and regain their interest.
He was using the canned material that he taught in the seminar.
Also, one thing he did when a student was losing the set after an opinion opener was come in and say "Hey, we’ve got a beer riding on this," which helped increase/re-initiate the girl’s interest / investment in the conversation.
Also, we were outside on a cold January night at the club with some smokers. He always had a lighter for the girls who were looking to light up, then he would initiate/open her or the set she was in.
Little things like this, night after night, make for an extra 2-3 sets a night, an extra 10 sets a week, an extra 500 sets a year.
