Welcome to another edition of the Charisma Arts newsletter!
Last week we told you to go out and man hug a stranger. How did it go? Not that hard, was it? That is the level of commitment you should have with every person you talk to. Put yourself out there 100%. We have a saying at CA, “Loud people don’t scare people, quiet people do.” Quiet people are tentative and reserved, loud people we know whether we can trust them or like them immediately. Quiet people are too reserved for us to make a judgment about so we are forced to invest a lot of effort to know them. Why invest that much into a stranger? Be 100% committed to putting yourself out there with confidence. If you had the confidence to hug a random guy on the street, everything else will come easy!
Q&A
What kind of mindset do you need to be successful with the Charisma Arts Method?
Charisma Arts will give you the tools to transform your life for the better. So many of our techniques will force you to be confident. Confidence is the most attractive trait in a man. You can’t fake it; it takes confidence to be successful with women. Ironic isn’t it, how can we gain confidence when it already takes confidence to be successful? Disqualification screams confidence. Coming in with a warm committed vibe displays huge value and confidence. By doing things like trying to find out what makes a woman interesting, it shows a lot of value. Confidence comes through practice and being reminded that each of us is innately an incredible person. We are approval giving because we are so confident, not approval seeking. Whatever mindset you come in with, develop, or have, we assume attraction because we like ourselves and know as soon as a woman sees who we are they will like us too. Yet we never bother trying to impress because we want to find out if we like her first. Whether you are extremely confident already, or extremely shy and insecure, the techniques from CA will start you on the path to being able to show the real you, confidently to anyone you meet.
Is Charisma Arts against routines?
We get this question a lot. We prefer a less scripted form of interaction because we feel it will teach you to more dynamically and artistically interact with people. Sometimes the learning curve is a bit steeper for some, but in the long run we feel you will be much more genuine and appealing to women without routines. Remember one of our main points is genuine interest is a powerful attractive trait. Also the more confidently authentic you are, the stronger the connection with the people you meet will be.
Do you still advocate the 90/10 rule?
The 90/10 rule was an older idea Wayne had when he was first developing the method. It was based on him being a good entertainer and holding her attention. When he found out how to make the interaction a 50/50 balance and flow of conversation and energy, he discovered it was much more powerful. The idea is to use open-ended questions, the vacuum, and relating and rewarding to elicit her to make more of an effort in an interaction. You want to encourage her to want to gain your interest in her, and work for it.
What was your biggest breakthrough with the Charisma Arts Method?
A client in San Francisco asked me this recently; he found the answer very helpful so I thought I would share it with you.
I am not only an instructor but I was also a client. I was in the same place many of you are, when I was considering taking a boot camp. I related to women from a place of ego. I liked who I was, and wanted women to see what I saw in myself that was impressive. So I told a lot of stories about my adventures and spoke in a way that made sure she knew I was intelligent. The irony is, the more you brag about yourself or try to impress someone, the less you actually do. So I needed a whole new way to relate. Charisma Arts taught me that instead of telling stories and anecdotes to impress people that I need to use those same stories to connect and relate to people. If the reason I told a story was to show the person I was talking to that I had a similar experience (that elicited a similar emotion), I could understand who they were and where they were coming from.
An interesting thing started to happen. As I began listening more for the emotional content in other people’s stories, I began to become very interested in what they had to say. I no longer was just waiting for my turn to tell a cool story. Then when I related I found that my stories were far more well received. The added bonus was that I got to tell all my cool stories but I was using them to relate, not impress.
We all want people to see who we are as unique impressive individuals. The key is not telling someone how unique you are, instead find out how unique they are. You in turn will be one of the few people they meet that they feel truly understands them. Isn’t that what we wanted in the first place for ourselves? There is a saying, “Give to others what you want for yourself.”
“Seduction is the art of setting the stage for two people to choose to reveal themselves to each other.” Juggler p118 The Game
TECHNIQUE
That moment has arrived when you are talking to a beautiful woman and you are getting along great. You can tell she is into you and you are into her. The nagging thought has been in your head for a while, “is it time to kiss her?” If you have to ask, the answer is YES! So here is Kory’s patented kiss close technique (Although I don’t know when Wayne’s patent ran out, I think this was his idea, just don’t tell Kory I told you that.)
When you think it is time to kiss her, it has probably already been time long since past. Amp up the kino a bit, then tell her to close her eyes. She knows damn well what is coming. Then kiss her. If she doesn’t kiss you back she will nonetheless think you are ballsy and respect you for it. If you do get denied don’t worry about it, let it roll and be unperturbed. You can always say something like “Well I was going to kiss you, but now you are just going to have to wait until I find you as sexy as I did just a moment ago.” Make sure you deliver that with a sly grin.
My personal favorite is turning it into a sexual barrier. I say “Well I have been thinking about kissing you for the last ten minutes, but honestly I can’t tell you that because I just met you.” Almost every time she will kiss you at that moment.
Well that wraps up this edition of the Charisma Arts newsletter. We’ll talk to you soon!

really good post.
Jeez, this is golden. And should be amended into the ebook. I always had a problem with kissing and I had a problem with calibration that after a series of cheek deflects, I felt just that it's another high score I cannot beat.
I am going to try this, be bold!
thanks Dan!

Dear Dan/ SHH,
I have a question I have been pondering on for a whole time. One concept of the juggler method is being unaffected when she gives you a certain response, not needing any certain response from her, not letting her get under your skin. How do you appease feeling the emotion of being affected with what she does or says and being unlimited in expressing every emotion in your body, with the fact that you shouldn’t show you are affected by what she does? Being able to express everything is being confident, why shouldn’t you be able to let her know what she does affects you, like the fact that you feel a bit sad and hurt that she is ignoring you all the time or acting mad at you or acting like you are a fool?
Thanks very much,
Pieter

Remeber her responses are purely based on her past bad interactions and do not reflect on you in any way. Know her reaction is hers and you shouldn't take it personally.
Also not needing her approval for your validation or self worth is important.
As for showing emotions we don't walk around being emotional vomit either. We choose to express our positive emotions and when we do show our negative emotions we always spin them into a positive light.
I find if I am majorly affected then I am being approval seeking. If I tell her I'm affected then i am telling her just how approval seeking I am.
Dear SHH,
Thanks very very very much dude, that clears up a lot, although at this moment it makes me realize that being charismatic is tough, it means no approval in the world from other people is about you and you'll always have to rely on yourself to give you shouldertaps...
Two more final questions... is it ok to say that a compliment or appreciation she gave you gave you a good feeling then? Cause then you also show that you are affected by her approval...? Is it ok to say something like "the fact that you said i'm a cool and strong person gave me a very good feeling, made me feel warm inside"?
And what do you mean with giving a positive spin in showing your negative emotions, something like "i was disappointed by you saying that but it made me realize just how important you are in my life?"
Again, thanks a lot dude, really appreciate the help! (one day i hope to at least buy a phone consult with you to make up for your free effort here)

Thanks for posting these Dan. They have already helped in a couple interactions. I needed to remember that attraction is assumed and that I should not be trying to impress anyone. It's been going great since the Vancouver bootcamp, but I got this wicked cold. I lost my voice on monday and had to use sign language at work. Deja Vu. Keep up the good work and I'll talk to ya in a month.

I don't compliment women on how they make me feel as it is more about me than them. I want my compliments to be on their high points of showing their genuine unique selves. I think you summed it up "you [] show that you are affected by her approval". You want to thank her for her compliments and probably DQ, to show her approval doesn't mean anything to you.
I know if i said "i was disappointed by you saying that but it made me realize just how important you are in my life?" I would feel like i was saying that in a very approval seeking manner.
What i mean by positive to a negative is she says:
Her: My dog just died
Me: I can relate, i used to have two greyhounds that were so special to me, but you know they will always have a place in my heart and my memories are enriched by them. I still think about them occasionally. So tell me your favorite story about your dogs.
I think that the major thing I hear you asking Pieter is, "is it okay for me to show I am affected by what she says?" Notice and acknowledgement is fine, however I don't know a woman that well yet to have what she thinks or says about me concern me. I wait until we are well past sleeping together before i worry about that, and even then, i am upfront and let her know that what she did or said isn't ok with me. It is all about confidence. I am happy with my life and i don't need her approval.
If she points out something that i am doing that she doesn't like i often say "Well i'll take that into consideration, i'll work on it but you are going to have to deal with me just as I am now because personal change takes time."
I am unapologetic as to who I am. I am also introspective and work hard at self-development. So she knows i will work on changing, but i'll be doing it for me not her.
Hope that made some sense.
Dan
