Examples of ‘Shit Tests’ A lot of the time when a girl is throwing out these tests is because she’s had a lot of guys hit on her that day/night/week/month/year/lifetime and has had enough of wasting her time on giving 10 minutes to everyone of the 95% of guys who haven’t got a chance.

60 years of challenge
…eneath the surface. If it was acceptable I believe people everywhere would be having care-free sex with multiple partners all the time. This tension is so dangerous it often leads to complete strangers having sex in less than 10 minutes. This tension is why some men feel the need to cover women head to toe in burkas. It’s also why women know it’s dangerous to put themselves in a situation where they are alone with you. Do Less, Not Mo…

Applying NLP To Pickup
Hi guys,Anders Tryka from Powerful Connections here,One of the questions that I hear most from guys wanting to improve their game is “what are your coolest tips on calibrating your approach to a set BEFORE you make contact, so you can get to the hook-point faster?” The shortest answer to that question is: I don’t. As in, I don’t really believe in the hook-point as an important concept in my game. I know from my 10+ years of experience with the P…

However, we’ve noticed that the same guys end up on these lists every year, guys like Style, Mystery, Sinn, and AFC Adam. A lot of these guys deserve it, to be sure, but a lot of them also end up getting voted for because they’re big names, even if they haven&…
