Have you ever gotten stuck not knowing how to transition from a possibly staled interation or a moment of stalling? Or maybe you want a way to quickly introduce touch and escalate the interaction to be more fun? This tactic is a great maneuver and… it’s fun!

Commentary on “The Spin Move”

Yesterday we had to take one of the bonuses out of the bundle and tonight another bonus will be taken out of the Tactics & Techniques bundle. I don’t want you to miss any of the bonuses but we have to keep from going broke giving so many things away, so before midnight tonight (EST) is your last chance before another bonus is removed. Go the info page now to find out how to get “Tactics & Techniques”:

OK, I know you’re going to get yourself a copy of the bundle and check that page after enjoying this post, so without further adieu here’s my and Ray’s commentary “The Spin Move”.

Now… go get T&T which still includes 8 out of the 9 original bonuses. But, hurry up, because at the stroke of midnight that will become 7 out of 9.

Before watching this next clip, don’t forget that the bonuses for Tactics & Techniques are only available for a short time and if you want to get your hands on the whole kit-n-kaboodle before we take them away, get yourself over the T&T info page:

Alright, so this video shows off a really good maneuver, which also helps initiate touch and create a fun but challenging vibe. It’s called “The Spin Move”.

“Tactics & Techniques” is not only packed to the brim with these kind of videos, but just about all of them have a review menu with commentary from Ray and me, and it is fully navigational so you can go to the stages of pickup you’re most interested, the various permutations of those stages, and make full use of everything you would want an interactive teaching system to be. And did I mention all the bonuses? :)

You’re making out and starting to escalate to sex, then she resists or pulls back. She’s clearly interested, not saying no, but still offering up resistence. We’ve all been there. Here is a way to short circuit this sort of behavior from her.

Here’s a great opener. It’s funny, ballsy, and is great for opening groups. Not all groups will “get it” or have enough of a sense of humor t play along, but at least 1/2 will. Even if the group doesn’t catch on, usually at least 1 person in the group does and, if it’s a girl then you can banter with her first and you can throw the attention to her. If only 1 of the guys in the group catches on, just say “He gets it” and keep going.

Ah, TXT. SMS. Communicating in 160 characters or less. It’s become a key follow-up strategy. Here’s a video on tactics for handling this aspect of game.

Here’s our commentary on the “Finger Length” rotuine video. The audio track is subdued in place of our commentary.

Also, check this out next video out. We ran a “focus group” with a few girls earlier this month. That just means I had a bunch of girls come over to my place and we screened various things from “Tactics & Techniques” for them, and asked them questions about it afterwards.

Remember, it’s “T & T”… :)

My power wasn’t restored until an hour ago.  Sorry for the delay guys!  It gave me an idea of something to post about here, so it wasn’t all bad.  So let me get on with things…

A lot of guys, when they learn how to open, and build up the confidence to do so regularly, still trip up when they want to go from that into an actual interaction which leads to flirting and attraction. We even ran a female focus group recently in which all the girls agreed that this was, indeed, one of the key things they notice about almost all guys who approach them. Here’s a routine which you can use as a transition tactic, and also offers up a great opportunity to initiate touch. It’s thoroughly field-tested.

Since I didn’t get a video out yesterday, I’ll post 2 videos tomorrow - our commentary follow-up on this routine, and… something else :)
