Joint Seminar with Illuminatus & Aaron Sleazy / Nottingham, England / 27th August 2011

Hello,

it is my great pleasure to announce my upcoming seminar with Illuminatus aka. Corvette. If you have first come across my articles when I was still actively posting on seduction forums, you have surely read some of his writings as well, and if not, I urge you to check out his homepage as he has written a great number of interesting articles, and recently he has released his first book, too. Please note that this will be my only seminar in 2011.

Illuminatus will speak on overcoming social anxieties, a topic most relevant for seduction. My talk will be based on my upcoming third book, in which I will outline the by far clearest, simplest, and easiest to implement "method" of seduction. It will blow your socks off!

The full announcement is attached.

Best regards,
Aaron Sleazy



Joint Seminar with Illuminatus & Aaron Sleazy / Nottingham, England / 27th August 2011


Overview

Illuminatus (http://www.personalpowermeditation.com) and Aaron Sleazy (http://www.aaronsleazy.com) team up for a seminar for anyone interested in fixing fundamental issues about social anxieties. While Illuminatus will talk about the topic of social anxiety in general, Aaron Sleazy will tell you how to put this knowledge to good use when it comes to bedding women.

The seminar will take place on 27th August 2011 in Nottingham, England (*), in a central, easy-to-access location.
Start: 4.00pm
End: 8.00pm

(*) Nottingham can easily be reached via Birmingham Airport or East Midlands Airport. Also, there are very frequent train and bus rides to and from London.



The Speakers

Illuminatus is a leading authority on meditation and personal development. He has enjoyed a cult following on the seduction forum mASF as "Corvette", and has gained widespread attention due to his ability to analyse social interactions and emotional states at a level deeper than anybody else. Due to the dogmatic and restrictive nature of seduction-related forums, he searched for other venues to discuss his insights, but being discontented, he founded Personal Power Meditation in 2009. He has recently released his first book, "The End of Social Anxiety", which establishes a comprehensive model of the formation and experience of social anxiety and provides straightforward and easy-to-understand practical exercises to facilitate a total recovery from the condition.

Aaron Sleazy first gained notoriety on mASF also. He is mostly known for a very quick style of sexual escalation and seduction that is completely opposed to the mainstream dogmas advocating processes which, in his view, are countereffective in most cases. Due to his outstanding success and rapidly growing popularity, the owners of mASF saw their financial success threatened and consequently banned him and anyone associated with him. Since then, Aaron Sleazy has built his own presence on the Internet and released two books. His first book, "Sleazy Stories", is an illustration of his extremely powerful style of seduction. In his second book, "Debunking the Seduction Community", he attacked the seduction industry for teaching ineffective methods and financially exploiting desperate men. He is currently working on a third book, which will reveal the basics of seduction. This work is influenced by his experience as a seducer and coach, and thus focuses on relatively simple steps which anybody can do to improve their level of success.

Frying Little Brains

I certainly can't say that I have been partying with future female nobel laureates recently, but I don't really mind that. Nonetheless, I do enjoy a minimum of intellectual rigour. What sounds like a rather dry affair did start rather juicy, after all:

I was bumping into a group of girls at a club and we were soon sipping champagne. One of them puts her arm around me shoulder and looks into my eyes. She says,

"You are gay, right?"

As I have said so many times, this translates to something like, "OMG!!1! I, like, think you are, like, so totally hot."


Thus I put my hand on her firm ass and teasingly say with a sleazy smile that I wasn't quite sure about my sexual orientation, to be honest. (No, I am not gay.)

She then waves her friend over and says, "This is my girlfriend!"

Then she makes out with her while still having her arm around me. It was certainly an arousing sight, and after it was over, she turned to me again and said with a horny smile, "We've just done what you'd like to do with me. Am I right?"

Unfortunately, I have recently occupied myself a bit too much with mathematics and logic because, when I'm not Sleazy Rockstar, I'm actually a fucking nerd. Thus, my preference for precise use of language made me say:

"You don't know what I want. Instead, you made an assumption."

Now she stood there, looking completely baffled. Apparently she was thinking. After five seconds or so, she said,

"No, I meant that you wanted to kiss me."

"I got that, but there is no way for you to know what I want. You can only assume something."

This was too much for her. She still stood there, trying to figure out what I had said. Again, she was completely without any motion or emotion. Since she wasn't quite able to process it, she walked off with a rather blank stare on her face.

Probably something like this was going on then:

Yummy!

Lovely Chick-Logic

One of my recent encounters involved a tall and beautiful French girl. The interaction did progress nicely, until she asked me from where I was. The conversation unfolded as follows:

"Wait, did you move to Berlin from abroad or are you from Germany?"
"I'm German."

Suddenly her lustful smile disappeared from her face and instead of intensely hugging me and caressing my back, she stepped back and frowned. She also started to sound rather aggressive:

"My ex-boyfriend was German, and he was such a.... such a... I don't know the male word, I mean he was, like, such a slut -- but the male version. Do you understand?"

I understood the words, but was unable to follow her reasoning at all.


Then I shrugged, but she looked at me really angrily and simply walked off.

Of course, there is no male version of "slut" or even "bitch", and not just for cultural reasons, even though the dried-up femi-nazis would disagree, but let's look at this girl's utterly absurd logic:

(1) My ex-boyfriend was German and an "asshole"
(2) You are German.

Thus:
(3) You are an asshole.

(The hidden premise is "All Germans are assholes", by the way.)

It was so absurd that I found myself laughing out loud in the club.

Of course it's questionable to make a generalization based on single observations, but having encountered plenty of encounters of absurdly twisted logic, I'm not surprised that mathematics is one of the very few academic subjects that are not dominated by women.

Quick Update: Upcoming Books, Posts, and a Seminar, too!

I have been incredibly busy with my life in recent months, and I'm spending most of the summer travelling. However, I will update the blog a bit more regularly in the future.

My email inbox is overflowing; and I think I'll do some more "community bashing". However, even though some of my critics love to accuse me for "being negative", a more than just cursory glance at those posts should make it obvious that there is plenty of "value" in those contributions.


Recently, some readers have pointed me towards some of Vin DiCarlo's spam emails. I got hold of a few of them and think they are even more ridiculous than his legendary "Working Out is killing your Chances with Women". I will deconstruct a couple of Vin's emails and point out the many misconceptions and highly questionable psychological tricks he tries to pull off to make you feel bad about yourself - and hand him your money. There will be plenty to learn from my analysis.

Also, I have been working on finalizing the German translation of Sleazy Stories, which is turning out very well. As soon as this book is out, I will devote all my energies on my next project, which is currently about 90% done; it's an instruction manual on the "real" fundamentals of game. Look forward to the announcement.

Furthermore, I will give one seminar in England in late August. It will be my only seminar in 2011, and it will be a joint-seminar with one of the most interesting characters from the old mASF forum. The announcement will be sent out to my mailing list first, and be posted on this blog afterwards. Expect the announcement early next week.

Lastly, I have decided to post some of my "in-field" observations. I have grown a bit tired of writing "field reports", but there are nonetheless interesting tidbits I don't mind sharing. Those posts will appear infrequently, so please don't expect detailed descriptions of my nights out.

Phone Numbers and Business Cards

It's been weeks since I've last checked comments on my blog or followed the seduction community because real life just keeps me too busy, but I've got some material for great posts lined up already. Now I only have to find the time to write them.

My post on Vince Kelvin turned out to draw a lot of attention. I also got the usual barrage of emails full of faulty logic and incoherent thoughts, such as that I was racist in my statements and that I was deliberately trying to piss off some people. Truth hurts, which means that if you are Vince Kelvin and can't stand the heat, then just don't enter the f*cking kitchen.


In the comment section, blog reader JCZ asked me:

I don't know why anyone with a bit of experience would still go for phone numbers (50 to 70??? Is this guy nuts?) when you know you should be able to seal the deal that moment - well, at least I am getting tired of gathering them already.

Enlighten me about the business card though. One with a private number written on the back isn't bad, right? Or am I missing something?

Earth to Vince Kelvin: You're wasting your time with that one!

Of course, you can always construct a scenario in which a business card doesn't meant that she is not interested. Eg. she's in a real hurry and her phone just died. But in usual settings, there is not that much time pressure, and it doesn't take that long for her to key her number into your phone.

She could thus opt for the business card to give you a clear hint. In an office setting, you can easily decline calls ("I'm busy right now"), and to her it probably feels less "bad" than if she had to do this when she's at home cuddling up with a huge box of ice cream in front of her TV, watching Sex and the City for the umpteenth time. In the latter case, she'd probably even talk to you if she was just very remotely interested. But since she isn't...

However, I had a couple of encounters with women in official settings like career fairs where it would have been highly inappropriate for her to key in her number into my phone. Thus, her writing down her private number on the back of her business card is an easy way out, and something that wouldn't even rouse suspicion if one of her superiors would observe such an exchange from afar.

Updates on Sleazy Stories for Kindle

Amazon has updated its Kindle Stores. This means that you can now buy Sleazy Stories for the following prices:

Amazon US Kindle store: $0.99

Amazon UK Kindle Store: £0.71

Amazon German Kindle Store: €0.79

This is great news because previously the pricing seemed to vary a lot, with some people reporting up to $3.44, which was also irritating because my share of the revenue remained the same, and Amazon simply pocketed an additional $2.50.

Vince Kelvin, the Joke is on you!

While going through my backlog of emails, I came across a hilarious video filmed in Los Angeles, home to the "Casanova Crew", which describes itself as the "largest active pick up artist community in North America". There was a time when they made more modest claims, and I'm sure by the rate the ego of their administrator J The Ripper is growing, he will soon claim to run the biggest forum in the universe.

The video is a collage of impressions from a talk given by "Vince Kelvin". Here's the link to those nine minutes of unintentional humor, but maybe you want to skip ahead and read my commentary first.

Metropolis Season 8, Ep. 2 - Pick Up Artists from Joshua Kun on Vimeo.

The link to the video was sent by James (thanks!). He commented:

I think this video might be better than ASS because its actually real with Vince Kelvin.

Guys are so easily impressed by nothing.. enjoy

What's the first impression you get of Vince Kelvin, if I may ask? I don't even want to comment, because I'd probably only come up with insults. Not only does the emperor not wear any clothes, his Jester does neither. Frankly, if you are 50 or older, you shouldn't pretend to be half your age. I'm sure he knows what it feels like to approach what looks like a 20 year old in a club from a distance, only walk closer and realize that she's probably twice that old. It's not a pleasant feeling, not unlike what is in a different field described as "uncanny valley". Something's just not right.

The speech is the typical song and dance in the community, hackneyed phrases, team-building exercises, and carefully avoiding the question why some guys don't get laid. However, if anybody in this group looks as if he can't get laid, it's unfortunately the speaker. But physical contact maybe prevents people from asking unnecessary questions.

Overall, the video is well-shot. In this scene, for instance, he looks as if he is impersonating Neill Stauss. I remember pictures of him in which he wears a rather similar outfit and even uses the same submissive gestures and posture. Funnily enough, it should be the buff guy telling Vince Kelvin how to score, not the other way round:

Now imagine your dad coming home looking like this:

The age gap is just too large. It's more like a father-soon constellation, but where in Vince Kelvin's speech or looks do you notice any signs of maturity?

Nowhere.

The next scene shows him dancing with dudes. Shouting phrases in unison gets thrown in so that the guys feel as if they are part of something bigger than them. (Typical military brainwashing, also common in some business settings, and of course in cults, too.)

The next scene made me laugh hard: Vince Kelvin is simulating the old in and out with his fingers, and philosophizing that sex was the very first event in our lives.

Now it's time for some action. Witness some random fatties in LA:

But what's talking to women in the queue compared to creeping them out by shouting at them from the street?

Not even the proverbial fat friend had any interest in Vince. Just look at the size of that woman. She's literally two times as big as her friends put together. Wow!

Vince isn't deterred trifles such as weight and goes for her number. Judging from their evasive (body) language, it's fake anyway, but for chuckles, imagine that guy shagging the fattie. Should he get lucky, he may have the bad luck of getting smothered.

His students are actually watching in awe:

...and another girl quickly makes up to have a boyfriend. She is wearing flat shoes and his still taller than Vince. (Quick tip: go for girls that have the same skin color and are shorter than you. Easily quadruples your success rate.)

The next two girls were only shown from behind. I wonder why.

Am I dreaming or does this guy look like a cheap knock-off of Prince?

Check out the original:

Posing with another fattie. Well, given the fact that the guy running the Casanova Crew "lair" makes up some stuff about Vince fucking 14 women in as many days in his hotel, I wonder why this video is so devoid of interactions that go anywhere, and I'm not even talking about interactions with hot girls. Just sh*t like this:

Witness the only good looking girl in the video, but she ran away quickly:

This picture looks as if the guys are ganging up on Vince Kelvin to give him a beating. (Not only in this angle does he look very short, so you can't blame the camera for the impression.) But, instead they are listening with interest.

No, there is no need to comment on the physique of that woman:

Vince with his patented "I walk as if I have just shit my pants" walk. Ridiculous. Well, it turned out the girl had a boyfriend:

Another highlight of the video. In this scene he brags that despite having a boyfriend, the girl previously shown kissed him "on the corner of his lips". Next time he'll probably claim that a girl touching his shoulder means as much as her rubbing his crotch since it's totally almost the same part of the body.

Arithmetic exercises with Vince Kelvin. He claims to get "at least 50 to 70 phone numbers" a weekend. I'll let you figure out what's odd about harassing dozens of women a day, wasting a ton of time contacting them and, with a very big maybe, fucking just one of them.

So, what's the take home message?

I couldn't think of a witty one-liner, but here is some food for thought:

• Dress your age, because if you get old without maturing, you look like a fool
• If you are only seen asking fatties for phone numbers, you can still claim to get laid every single day and the typical Casanova Crew member will not call you out on your bullshit (Thus: California must be a gold mine for pick up companies)
• Ask yourself how much time you have left on this planet. If it's just two decades or so, then maybe you should strive for something more fulfilling than chasing after overweight immigrants on Sunset Blvd. Seriously.
