Edge – Presence: The X-Factor of Male Attractiveness?

by Edge

in Technique

Since I’ve begun studying seduction/dating advice/pickup technique, I have always asked myself, “Is there a central factor behind all of these techniques? What are the central threads that are consistent between every “school” of picking up beautiful women?”

My present theory is that it has to do with presence in the moment

. I think every single so-called Casanova or “ladies man” is totally present in the moment with women.

But I am not one to arm-chair theorize or keyboard jockey (KJ). To test my theory, I am going to tighten up my yoga practice again for the next 30 days and practice being totally, completely present in my interactions with women

.

Granted, I am not claiming that presence is going to be THE KEY to picking up women regardless of how this experiment turns out. I have practiced a lot of technique and have a lot of theory on the subject. However, I feel like I have become increasingly robotic and less present as the summer went on and I think becoming “present to the moment” will make my interactions much sexier. After all, at best this stuff is not work… it’s the opposite of effort.

Stay tuned. The 30 day presence experiment begins NOW.

awesome idea man, I’d agree that presence of mind is fantastic for interaction with any individual. The presence as induced by yoga/meditation, however, when practiced properly, would theoretically dissolve the sense of self? Regardless, trying to use it as a tool fascinating; Good luck!
My one comment would be that when fully present and meeting a lot of people it can be easy to forget newly earned names since the mental name reiteration is absence when fully present. :) keep us updated

True… hell, I’ve had interactions where we don’t exchange names until an hour in… ;)

The statement about the sense of self depends on perspective. Some schools of yoga/buddhism look at yoga and meditation as the pathway to “no-self”. Other schools look at it as the dissolving of impurities between you and your true self. I relate more to the second concept.

One person who really captures this well is Shinzen Young in his course, “The Science of Enlightenment”. If you find this stuff interesting, that course is awesome and very much worth checking out.

Thanks for the comment – drop by and keep tabs… I am always happy when I can chat with someone who pursues this type of personal development.

Take care.
