Alfie - The So-Called "Bitch Shield"

2008-04-18T15:08:00.001-07:00

People believe there's such a thing as a "Bitch Shield" - a shield that a woman puts up to keep the men away. Alfie doesn't buy that crap, and neither should you. These women melt. Unfortunately, the youtube video is in another language, so I'll give the translation here. But, you know what... go rent Alfie... the whole movie is too damn good to pass up!

Translation of video:
She says: "Explain to me what everyone sees in that Euro-Trash"
The next scene she gives him a BIG smile as the "bitch shield" dissapears

How To Use This Site

2008-04-18T14:36:00.000-07:00

I put up this website mostly for my own enjoyment, and also to share some of my favorite inspirations with you. But, I've been happy to see that other people are enjoying it and getting inspired here as well.

Recently, I got this letter from a Movie Moment fan. He writes:

"Hey Daniel I did a coaching call with you before... I took the art of rapport this past weekend in NYC and it was great. I feel like the movie moment is the most powerful techinque that I learned. When I went to your movie moment website I saw all the videos. While I was watching all the videos I was thinking to myself I don't get it. Can you explain to me what is going on in the videos and why does it work.

By the way you are awesome man I really mean that and you inspire me."

Wow... First off, Thanks! I'm glad that me and the PickUp 101 team have been able to help.

You've asked a pretty big question, and I'll give it my best shot at a concise answer.

What is going on in these videos?

What's going on is professional actors (who are most likely doing pretty well with women in their real lives, by the way) are masterfully adopting the characters of men in situations where they display some VERY attractive characteristics.

Pretty much EVERYTHING that we teach at PickUp 101 (or might be taught at any other reputable dating company) will be seen in these videos. So, the list is too long to mention everything here. But, I'll challenge you to watch them and see if you can find some of the specific techniques that we teach.

Here are some things to look for:
Presence
This is probably the number one thing that every video has in common. Raw Masculine Presence. Look at Brad Pitt's unblinking eyes in the Meet Joe Black scene.
Masculine presence is at the heart of what every woman craves.
[note: if you haven't yet read "The Way Of The Superior Man" by David Deida, then go buy a copy now! Much more about presence in there.]

Integrity
Pretty much every one of these clips has a man who is SOLID in his desires, what he wants, and what he is going for. It doesn't make him needy, it makes him powerful.

Body Language
On a more tangible level, look at the specifics of body language in all these videos. If you simply mimiced and practice the body language in these videos alone, you'd see phenomenal changes in your life

Voice
Along with the body comes the voice. Listen to the words. They are great speakers, and their words flow. You can literally act these scenes out over and over and over again practicing the tonality, rhythm and flow and you'll develop a sexy a$$ voice.

And more...

There are many more things that you can see in these videos and the more you begin to interact with women, you'll be able to distinguish the differences between what these men do here - and what the average drunk idiot does in a bar. Women have been raised by these Hollywood sterotypes, so we have a lot to live up to. (While on the other hand, Hollywood has prepped them for us, because when we can tap into these stereotypes, she instantly knows those feelings inside herself)

How To Watch These Videos:

1) One way of watching these videos is to just kick back enjoy and savor the moment. See how much you can simply feel the moment and enjoy it. (If you can feel and enjoy this kind of thing here, it'll naturally come out when you're with women)

2) Practice. You can literally memorize and practice acting out these scenes. You don't want to become an actor in real life, and it wont get you laid by itself. BUT, it will challenge you to take on a character that you may not believe to be you. It will challenge your self-image. And, that can be a great exercise!

Have fun with it, enjoy, and let me know what you think.

3-Iron - Stealing The Girl

2007-09-27T10:42:00.001-07:00

If you haven't seen the movie, this clip may seem a bit harsh. But, to set the stage, this guy breaks into this woman's house and without saying a word, he leaves with her on the back of his motorcycle. He doesn't say a single word throughout the whole movie. Brilliant...
