We've got the next speaker coming up. This man needs no introduction. This is his fifth time speaking at this event. He is featured in the 21 convention documentary. If you guys haven't checked that out, check it out. It's awesome, great interview. Voted multiple times the number one pickup artist in the world. And you can learn more about him at attractionexplained.com. Adam Lyons, give it up. Appreciate it. Wow, this is cool, man. You know the best thing? This time it's like at my house. Like, not that I live in the Marriott, but I live like over the road.  Like, it's nice. It's nice to be on my home turf. So 21 convention, to be honest with you guys, it's honestly my favorite place to come and speak. I really enjoy it. The crowd that comes here, the people that I get to work with. You guys, you're not just looking at one aspect. You're not just looking at pickup chicks. You're looking to improve your life and do a whole bunch of other stuff besides. I love that. I appreciate that. I'm gonna share with you just at the beginning before I start. Today was a very stressful day for me, not because of this speech, but because I had my final exam to become a yoga certified teacher this morning. I've been training for it for like three months. I woke up first thing in the morning, went out, did my yoga exam, and then came here straight afterwards. And I think that's an aspect in my life that people don't get. They're like, Adam's a pickup artist. That's what he does, right? It's like, well, no, I just not what Adam does. Yeah, sure, Adam does that, but he also learns yoga, teaches yoga. He also does filmmaking. He has other aspects to his life. And I think a lot of guys, when they're learning how to pick up chicks or whatever, they forget how important it is to be normal. Does that make sense to you guys to agree with that? Good, thank God you guys said yes. If some of you guys are like, wait, what? We're not just here to pick up chicks. I'm done, I'm going. Having said that, what I am good at is helping people learn how to pick up chicks. And so, of course, today, one of the key things that we're gonna be talking about is some of the, some of my latest research and some of my latest finds to help you guys be able to attract more women, get more women to life, higher quality, whatever it is that you want. But there is a flaw in most people's teachings of dating. I want to expose it with you guys today.  Raise your hand. Oh, that's the entire room, there we go. So, so fun, isn't it? You get these guys come up on stage, they're like, I'm gonna show you how to do it because you don't know. And I'm like, wait a minute, let's be honest for a minute here. It's not that we don't know because we've all done it at least once, maybe twice, maybe a bunch of times. It's not that we don't know. So if it's not that you don't know, then why are you here? If it isn't that you don't know, why? Why have you come here? I'm gonna guess, I'm gonna extrapolate a little bit. I'm guessing it's because, and give me some yeses if you agree with some of this. I'm guessing it's because you want to know how to do it again so you can duplicate the actions whenever you want. All right, I'll get some yeses now. Okay, good. What about, what about, I want more of them, more plentiful, abundant to my lifestyle. How about that? Yes. Okay, it's good. How about I don't ever want to be alone again? Is that a good one? Not as much.  Never want to be alone again. He's like, as long as I've got more women in my life, I'm never gonna be alone. Why do I care? What about higher quality women? Like super hot chicks, how about that? Right, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Okay, so these are the kind of things that people want. And so I'm here today. I'm not gonna be telling you this is how you do it. Instead, I'm gonna try and approach that maybe makes it a bit easier with what you're currently doing.  And instead, we're gonna help you identify the kind of women that naturally are gonna be drawn to you that you were attracted to.  I quite like that girl. And I can tell that girl kinda likes me. And so that way when you approach, it's not so much a cold approach, rather it's two people that both wanna meet each other and we're bringing it together. So, give you guys an example of why some people have issues and why we're even here in the first place. I had this student a little while ago, and in fact it was about three weeks ago in Toronto.  This guy's petrified of talking to anybody. I'm like, oh man, it can't be that bad. And I'm gonna just to let you guys know, he's a good looking guy, he makes a lot of money.  This guy's got a ton of money and he's good looking. Can't approach, can't talk to girls and when he does, he runs away. I got him at one point. He said, you know what? He goes, it would be easier if you open the girl for me and then introduce me. And you know what? I was interested at the point. I was like, fine, dude, you want that? Done, no problem.  I thought he had a really cool look. I wanted to take the time to let you know. I'm Adam, nice to meet you. Oh, by the way, this is my friend. And so I introduced the guy and he's like this. And he's like gone over the other side of the mall. I'm like, dude, come back and meet my friend. She's really cool. I'm like, he's really shy. Come back and meet my friend. And she's like, it's okay. I'm nice. And he goes, no, no, I don't wanna do that. They're like, she just wants to talk to you. Look, do you wanna speak to him? Yes, see, yes, she wants to, no, it's okay. So I go back to him, I'm like, dude, and I'm stealing a phrase here from one of my very good friends.  I'm like, what's your problem? Like, what have you got against it, man?  I'm like, maybe you like it too much. You gotta share it. Like, this is bad, man. This is an issue. And he's like, dude, I just, the idea of approaching just scares me. I'm like, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna keep it very simple. I was like, girls love receiving compliments. So the next girl that we see, just give her a compliment. You're not trying to talk to her. You're just trying to make her feel good about herself. Give her a compliment. Make her feel good about her day. Let her be happy. And then go about your day and we'll discuss stuff like, okay, that I can do. So he goes up to this girl, she's super cute. She's like, tatted up and you get a lot of those girls kind of like in Austin, not so much in Toronto, but she was cute, you know?  It's really nice, the colors in it, really nice. I'm gonna let you know. And this, I'm gonna do the best impression I can of the girl, okay? This is the girl. She's like, oh my God, thank you so much. That was amazing. I needed to hear that today, thank you. Guy comes up to me and I'm like, I'm the man. Come on, come on. And I go, he couldn't approach, now he's approaching.  He comes up to me, he's like, see? And I'm like, see what, dude? And he goes, see? She laughed at me. And I'm like, she did what? And he goes, she smiled. You see that? She was laughing at me. Making fun of me for talking to her. That's what happens when I talk to girls.  And he goes, no, no, no, she was laughing at me, I know. And I'm like, all right, man, we can do it. And my brain is wrecking. I'm like, how can I convince this guy that this girl was genuinely happy when he's convinced she wasn't? So we discuss. And I'm like, all right, first of all, when someone's making fun of someone, do you think they bring their hands to their chest? Is that an action? Do they do that? They go, oh my God, thank you so much. Do they do that? And he goes, well, I suppose not. I was like, right. I was like, because her body language there, she's talking about herself. She's bringing it in, talking about herself. How about, did she point at you? And he goes, no. I was like, in my experience, whenever a girl points at you, oh, or like, and then laughs, that's when they make fun of you.  That's how they're gonna do it. I was like, I know one ever says that. I was like, but even if they did, they'd be pointing. He goes, oh, that makes so much sense. He goes, how'd you know that? I was like, because I'm a qualified body language expert. I was like, I did a whole freaking exam learning it. And he goes, that's so cool. Maybe if I did that, that would help me. And I'm like, no, you're just trying to avoid talking to chicks. I was like, there's some very simple things you need to know, but it got me thinking. There are these signs that let us know if somebody is interested to us.  And left to our own devices, we're gonna interpret them not necessarily correctly. And you know where this comes from? This comes from bad breakups. Bad breakups completely mess us up. Now, I've been doing a lot of studying on this. You know when you build a memory, like when you actually think of somebody, or you form a connection with somebody, do you guys know real neural pathways are built in the brain? Do you guys know this? It's like actual physical connections are built in the brain when you make a connection with somebody.  How about in jokes?  And you both laugh at some terrible comedian that you watch every morning who isn't funny. But that's like an in joke between the two of you. No one else knows that. It's your connection with her. And then when you break up, you know what happens? They are destroyed. Every single one of those neural pathways is now crushed. You no longer have that.  That's how you feel. It's done. Your entire neural pathways are ripped out. How about this?   Does that sound like a pleasant feeling any of you want? No, right? No one wants that. You don't want that to happen to you. And that's why breakups actually cause pain, like visibly, physically, mentally cause pain. They hurt. So now we're gonna analyze, right? Let's just say, I hate to do this, but we're gonna do it. Let's bring in that number scale. You know the scale of one to 10 that Pickupart is love talking about?  And if you guys know, my friend's got a three point system. I think it's much better. You guys know this one? The three point system. This is a credit to a very good friend of mine, to Luke. And the three point system is very simple. You either wouldn't do it, you would do it, but wouldn't tell your friends, or you would do it and you'd tell everyone. There, that's the three point scale. So much easier. But yeah, so if we imagine the 10 point scale, let's just say you met a 10.  This is where you guys will separate. Some of you will be like, I'm gonna get another 10, and I'm gonna make it work. And I'm gonna work out what went wrong and make it work. That's a certain type of personality. Some of you guys will be that guy.   Then hang around with the twos and threes and let them chase me. And you know, if I have eight threes, it's 24, right, I'm doing good. And then you got some guys that like, you know what, I'm gonna stay with the six and sevens about roughly who I am and we'll just be content.  Nothing special happens.  And the ones that go for the 10s, of course, are being challenged every single day. Depending on where you are, depends on where you go. But it's because of that breakup that you get that reaction that makes you go and do something different. And so what happens is our brain starts almost like rewiring itself to think differently about talking to different types of girls. And we're gonna refer back to that in a minute when we get on some psychological studies that have looked into this. About a week ago, I'm talking to another one of my students, a different student, a different city, and the student comes up to me and again, we're gonna talk about these signs that come up and he comes up to me and he goes, hey, Adam, I've got a girl for you to come and pick up. Come and pick her up. And we've got about an hour left of infield training. And I'm like, did you fail to pick up a girl? And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's really hot. No one can pick her up. Come and pick her up. Come and do it, come and do it. And I'm like, okay, let's just look at this for a second. I was like, what do you expect me to do? We've got like an hour left. I was like, what exactly do you wanna see me do?  And he goes, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I wanna see. I was like, all right, what's the situation? What do we got? Should we go and look at it? And he's standing in front of me and I've got the set in the background. I was like, right, so let's just get this correct. The girl you're talking about is the Naomi Campbell lookalike sitting at that table of models with that rich guy that's paid for those bottles. And he goes, yeah. I was like, that table, the exact even ratio of male to female at that table, right? That's the girl, you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one, that one, that one. I was like, right.  And he's like, what do you mean? I was like, what do you mean to go up there and do it in like three minutes? I was like, dude, it doesn't work that way. First of all, I've got to get in with the group. I was like, so I've got to start talking to the guys at the table and get them to like me because there's like an even ratio. I'm going to be taking someone's girl, whether they're dating or not, they're going to think it's their girl and I'm going to have to deal with that. So I've got to get in with the guys first. What am I looking to befriend a guy, 15, 20 minutes? How many guys are there? Like four guys. So I'm going to have to work through the group to work out which guy is with who so I can piece it together. I was like, that's an hour just there. I was like, then I've got to transition into the girl. She's the hottest girl in the group. So I'm probably going to have to work up to get to her. I might be able to go direct up to her but I'm probably going to have to talk to one of the other girls first and then get to her. That's like 20 minutes, half an hour to that set. Then I've got to get the girl and pick her up. So now I'm looking at like what? Maybe one, one hour to really get a solid connection with that girl where she's going to be cool, walking away from me. I was like, what about all my other students? Am I supposed to just ignore them? Is that what's supposed to happen here? And he goes, man, I didn't think it took time. What was I supposed to do? Just like go up and go bam, I'm AFC Adam, I'm number one pick-up artist in the world. You should love me. No, that is not what's going to happen. It doesn't work that way. I've got to actually work it like everyone else. I was like, there are very few people in the world that can just go straight up to that girl and within three minutes, negotiate between the two guys that are given the main entrance to the group and picking up that girl. I was like, that is not something that just anyone can just do just because they want to. And he goes, oh, that makes sense. I said, with that being said, what's this? And so I go over to him. And so I go up to the two guys at the lead of the table.  Fucking love it, man. I'm Adam, nice to meet you. He goes, hey, nice to meet you.  And she's like, yeah, I do. And I was like, high five. So I move away from the guys, high five the girl. I was like, these are your friends? And she's like, yeah, I was like, who's this one? She goes, oh, it's my friend, Naomi Campbell lookalike. I'm like, cool, nice to meet you. I'm Adam, how are you? And she goes, you're English? I was like, yes, I am. I was like, wait, so are you. She goes, yeah, I am.  Done. We're talking about England for about 10 minutes. The girl gives me a phone number. She wants to hang out with me. She moves away from me with a bar. I'm hanging out. She's like, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. You've done like eight minutes and you said it would take hours. I said, no. I said, very few people can do it. I said, it's gonna take you hours. I said, there's a couple of people on this planet that can do it in a couple of minutes. I happen to be one of them, but still, that doesn't mean you are gonna do this. You are gonna do it the long way and you're gonna learn how to do it.  I was like, learn and understand. But, now this is where we get into a little secret I'm gonna share with you guys. This is a little, this is an instructor secret.  Raise your hand. Raise your hand if any of you guys haven't done it. There's not many of you. All right. So for those of you guys that have done it, have you ever seen a situation when instructor's sort of like, he's like, all right, what's this? I'm gonna go and do something. And he goes up to this girl and it's just like perfect. They're like, oh my God. How did he do that? That was so good. You guys ever seen that? He's like, man, what's that magic? I'm gonna let you into a secret. Nick's nodding, because Nick knows I'm gonna give it away. This is literally nodding. I'm sorry, it's happening. I'm giving it away guys. This is how Peeways do it, right? What we do is we observe the girl first. So while the guy is standing here, I'm looking at her and over his shoulder, I'm doing this. And I'm like, I'm seeing if she likes me. Just analyzing it over his shoulder. And I'm getting every sign I need that this chick actually likes me. Everything I need over the guy's shoulder. So then I go and do magic. The magic is just bypass the dudes so that me and the girl can talk to each other because she wants to. That's the magic. The magic, whenever a pickup artist just does it quickly, that's what they're doing. If you really wanna screw them up, and I'm sorry to every pickup artist in the world, pick the girl, watch what they do. Be like, that one. And don't let them look at her first. That one, just go. Don't look first, go. Go, go, talk to her. They'll grab their pants. You know what, I can't get eye contact first. They're gonna tap her on the shoulder from behind.  That's hard work, man. Pickup artists make life easy. I hung out with a guy. One of my instructors, one of the guys that taught me game a while ago, and he reminded me of something and I'd forgotten about it. There was just one time I was teaching these students and my instructor was teaching me how to teach them. And the students came up to me and said, Adam, I don't wanna, I don't know if I like the way you teach. I'm like, what do you mean? He goes, whenever you turn up to the club to teach, you bring five girls with you. I'm like, right? And he goes, it's kind of like cheating, isn't it? And I look at the student and my instructor's there. And my instructor reminded me, I forgot I said this. And I went, no, dude, it is cheating. He's like, why wouldn't I cheat, man? Why make it hard? I come in with five girls, I'm gonna leave one. I have you guys, I brought three girls with me today.  I'm actually welcome. Good luck. So, but that's my point, right? I travel with girls, that's what I do. I like having women around. I like female energy. They're prettier than dudes and guys smell, no offense. It's true. So that's the point. That's how I work and that's how I roll. So I'm analyzing these signs first. So, and this is the point. And I really want you guys to think about this. You go into a bar, there are probably 10 different girls you could have. Probably 10, that are all hot, right? You go into a big club, there's a lot of people. You got your choice of 10. How many of you truly want the skill set of being able to go girl number eight, her? That's the one I want. And when any of the others, I'm gonna go straight for her.  What's wrong with the others? They're all hot. They're just as hot as her. Maybe take two of the others instead. Or get the one that's nice. You know, this is the thing I always find. Whenever you're like, that one, that's the one. You go up to her, you know what you find out? You find out she's got boyfriend. You find out it's her time of the month, kind of sex her then. Maybe you can, depends on the kind of person you are. And your red wings, whatever. It's a dude. I've seen that. I have seen that. I had an instructor come up to me. One of my instructors. He said, dude, that girl's the hottest girl I've ever seen in my life. And I'm like, you know, he said dude, right? And he's like, no, dude, that is a guy. And he goes, I thought she was hotter than my girlfriend. And I'm like, wait, A, I'm worried about you. B, no, don't do that. But that's the point. If you just pick one and you're like, yes, that one. That's the one. You run all those problems. I would much rather go into a venue, see the 10 that I want, and be like, all right, I'll accept any of these 10. I don't mind. And then I'm gonna work it. And I'm gonna be like, okay, which one? Which one do I like? Which one's gonna work? And so in the past, I've always spoken about pre-opening. The way I'd normally do this, I'd go up and I'd speak to each girl and work it out. But over the last year, I've been analyzing these signs of attraction. I've been literally studying them as part of my body language, like the thesis I had to do for my graduating for it. And also, just for my own studies, I have found every single physical sign and even non-physical sign of attraction a girl will give to let you know if they're interested.  It's pretty much easier that makes game. I was hanging out with one of my friends who actually lives in Austin. And when I cracked it, I cracked it about a year ago when I cracked it, about six months ago, I told him about it. And he goes, what can you do? I was like, what I can do is I can go into a bar with you and I can just watch the girls and I can watch you. And I can just tell you which girl you should speak to and she'll be nice to you.     I didn't see it. I can just add up the signs. When I see them, I know that she's interested. You can approach that one. So we're sitting there. There was a group of girls walking.  And there was two short blondes. And I was like, out of those three, who do you normally approach? And he goes, I approach the short frumpy one. I was like, approach the hot brunette. He's like, why? I was like, because she's just giving you three signs that she's interested. And he's like, no, she hasn't. I was like, yeah, she has three of them. Go approach her. She goes straight up to her. Bam, she's all over him. She's nice to him. She's receptive. She ignores her two friends. Exactly what he wanted. He comes up to me and goes, how did you know that? I'm like, because I can see the signs, dude. Literally, I have studied them. I know them. I don't have to guess anymore. I can literally just walk up to a girl who I know is somewhat attracted and go and do it. Does that sound like something you guys would like to learn? Then that's what I'm gonna teach you. Hey! Cool, I like that you guys cheered with me. Okay, so, but I said we're gonna get into the psychology of a bit and we are. We're gonna start with Givens in 1978, did a study. And in that study, he analyzed and worked out that females control the beginning part of courtship, the very first part, right? And I don't mean when you approach what they do next. I mean before that. The way they control it is they give signs that they wanna be approached and they give signs that they don't wanna be approached. And in his study, if a male approached before the girl consciously gave signs of attraction, the success rate was lower. Even if the girl did say on paper that she would be attracted to that person. If the guy approached before she was ready to give signs that she wanna be approached, success rate dropped. So that's the first thing. So it's actually good to get these signs first. It's good to make some kind of eye contact or to work with it first. That is a good thing to do. So, next up, Abby in 1982 did a study and they looked at males analyzing signs of attraction and you know what they worked out? Men think everything is a sign of attraction. That's what they worked out, you know? Oh, she's eating pancakes.  That's what they think. That's it. Oh look, she's hanging out with her friends.  That's it. I should just give it to her.   So that's the problem with men. And so here's what happens. We get this in our heads. It's like, oh, bam, man. Yeah, this girl obviously likes me, but she doesn't. And that starts to mess with us. And then it was Voyer and Ratner. This is the last study we're gonna talk about in 1996. And they analyzed and they worked out the reason that men don't approach, this is a great study, men don't approach because they're scared of getting rejected. Awesome, that study, right? I was like, man, when you do, it's genius. That was money well spent right there. You could just ask people, but they did study something very interesting about that. What they found was that if a male watches another male, not approach, why do they think that happened? Do they think it was rejection? No, they think the guy just wasn't interested. Now that is fascinating. For us to assume the other men aren't worried about rejection, it shows that we're pessimistic. We believe when it's to us, if it's us not approaching, we might get rejected. But when that other dude who isn't as hot as me when he doesn't approach, he's not worried about being rejected because he could easily get her because I can see the signs. You got it? We still see him so he just doesn't want her. And that is massive because you know what that means? That means we have learned as we aged to avoid approaching. It's not something natural in us, we've learned it. So I'll give you guys the example that I had. When I was in school, I was probably about, I have to bear with the age, I might be wrong, say 13, 14, 15, there was this chick. And every day in school, I would look at her and I would smile and she would smile back at me and we'd have these signs. I think you guys are all well aware. If a girl smiles at you, it means she likes you. You guys got that at least? Unless she's pointing and laughing. Ask my friend from Toronto. So yeah, if she's smiling at you, you've got a pretty good chance that she likes you. So me and this girl were smiling and I decided I'm gonna ask her out to the dance. We don't have proms in England, we have dances. And dances to you guys, same thing.  Like I'd love to go to the dance with you. Is that something you'd be interested in? And the girl's about to respond but she's there with her two female friends. Do you guys have a notice in high school? The hot girl always has two female bodyguards. Is that a thing over here as well? Totally happened in my school. And the bodyguards have to speak, they're like the spokesperson. And she's like, why would she go to the dance with you? And she didn't really say no but how can she say yes after that, right? So she didn't say anything. And you know what I learned? I learned something very important. I learned when a girl smiles at you, when she's nice to you and she gives you attention, you know what that means? She will not go to the dance with you.  So I didn't talk to girls that smiled at me and were nice to me. And I didn't talk to girls that didn't smile at me and weren't nice to me because I didn't think they liked me either. So I learned girls don't like me. That's what I learned. Bullshit, that's not what it was. That was bad learning. I'd conditioned myself to learn the wrong thing. That's the issue most of us have. It's not that we can't get girls, you have all had girls, you can get girls. You just don't know when they want you. You can't tell. So how many of you guys, I don't even use to raise your hands, how many of you have got a female friend and you think, you know, I think she likes me but I'm just not sure. So I'm not gonna push it, so I'm just gonna be friends. Oh, and now we're stuck in the friend zone. And then she says to you, I would have dated you once but then we kind of became good friends. You guys had that experience? Some of you guys, yes, right? We're used to that because we didn't see the signs, wasted opportunity or you meet a girl and she's flirting with you in a bar and you're like, man, I kind of like her. I don't know if she's gonna give me a phone number and then she kind of walks off and then you're like, ah, I should have asked for it. You don't get it because you didn't know what the signs were. So I'm gonna show you a whole bunch of the signs. I'm gonna take you through them. Now, there are too many to do in this talk. There are literally too many. So at the end of the talk, I'm gonna talk to you guys about, I'm gonna speed some up and try and give you a bunch of them very, very quickly and sort of like try and help you out. I'm gonna put some videos online for free so you guys can watch them and catch up with it because I literally just can't do it all in this. So let's start. Very first sign of attraction. You guys are gonna get very careful with this, okay? There's three of them in this. These are the three glances. Glance one, glance two, glance three. Glance one's very simple. You got a group of girls all hanging out, maybe two girls, I don't know, whatever it is. They're all hanging out. One of them, or the one that's doing type one glance, isn't looking at the rest of the group. So imagine two girls in deep conversation. This is a good way of thinking about it. And one of them's like, oh my God, so today this thing happened. And the other girl is like, oh my God, yeah, that's great. And they're looking at each other, no glances there. But if one of them's like, oh my God, this new nail varnish, it's from Nars, it's awesome, it's silver. And then the other girl's like, oh, it's cool. And she's looking around. That's a type one glance. She ain't looking at you. She's not looking at anyone. She's just looking around. That says she's bored of this conversation, she wants to talk to somebody else. Type one glance, your success rate in there is like 35%. It's not 100, but you have a better chance than normal.   I'm gonna talk to the really hot one that's given at a type one glance. See the difference?  And when you finally win her over, try and get away from her to get the hot one. I'm just gonna talk to the hot one that's given at a type one glance because she's bored of her friends and she wants to be approached by a male to give her some interest. See the difference? So much more effective. Since using this and my teaching, my students, the results are so much easier. I just go, dude, do you know what? Open that girl, forget that one.  Talk to that one. That book ain't here right now, yeah? All right, leave the book. The book doesn't know. It can't see. It can't analyze the situation. I'm telling you, that girl wants someone to talk to her. Type one glance. Type two glance. Exactly the same exception makes eye contact with you. Not for long, a little bit. So if I was looking around, it would be like this. Try to make eye contact with everyone once. That was really difficult. But it's like a quick glance, right? It's just a very quick glance. That's type two. Type three is the one that everyone looks for. It's this one. That's the obvious one. That's the one you've been waiting for, right? But that's too obvious. Why wait for that one? Type one and type two are fine. Type one and type two are gonna let you know. Girl looks eye contact with you across the room. She's looking around the room. She wants to talk to somebody. It may, go get it. Go talk to her. They are three types of glances. Okay, we'll go on to the next one. How about the hair flick? This is my favorite one.  If a girl flicks her hair, she's attracted to you. You guys ever heard of this? Raise your hand if you've heard that. What if her hair was in her face?  No, she's moving her hair out of her face.   That's exactly what it is. No, I think it was Moore did the study in the 70s, so I called it. She analyzed this as part of the study on teenage girls. Here's what the hair flick looks like. It's repeated removal of the hair behind the ear within 10 seconds. That's what you're looking for. Not just hair behind the ear, repeated. That. Have you ever seen that thing? That's the one. That is attraction. Anything else, the hair's in her face. So you're talking to a girl.  Fine, if you wanna just go for it, go for it. I'm just saying, if you wanna know if she likes you, if you're getting repeated hair behind the ear, there's a lot of reasons for that. One, she's exposing her neck to you. Two, she wants to make sure she hears everything you say. There's a lot that goes into it that shows that she's interested to you. But that's what we're looking for. We're looking for that. The next one, this is a fun one. Who's here? Who's out of proximity? You guys ever heard of proximity? This is like one of my favorites. Bullshit, parade and approach. Very different. Similar, but not the same. Proximity is the girl's next to me, therefore she wants to be open. How many of you have ever stood at a bar and then girls come to the bar and you're like, they all wanna talk to me.  All of them, every girl. And or they just wanna get to the bar and you're a dude alone, so it's easy to move you from one side to the other. Yeah, it's not proximity. They want a drink really badly. It's not that they want the cock. Maybe they do, but that doesn't necessarily equate. Parade and approach is different. Parade and approach is where the girl actually takes time to move in front of your walk so you can see her first. Then she makes a beeline to approach. That is the exact thing you should be looking for. Parade, approach. Now, if you guys ever wanna see these things, there's a really cool place you can go where you can see them all. Now they're fake, but they work. Go to a strict club. You go to a strict club, you'll see girls parade and approach you all the time.  Parade, approach, that's what you're looking for. Or the hair flick, oh my God, you're so interesting. Tell me more. They're all fake, of course. They've learned how to do this, but that is what you're looking at. Parade, approach, the hair flick, or the glances. Again, the girls will do it again. If the girls are sitting on a phone like that, she doesn't really wanna work at the moment. But if she's sort of looking around, she's interested. So you can analyze these things. If you wanna see them for real, just go there and watch. Just know that they're not actually really doing it. They're just trying to get you. Maybe they do want the cock. Who knows, find out. Now like I said, there are a whole bunch more of these. For example, I'm gonna run through some of the very quick ones that you guys should all know. If she touches you, it's not an accident. You know how I know? Cause girls would do this if they don't wanna touch you. They would like move around you in the club and they'd be like, sticky. They'd do that, right? That's what they do if they don't wanna touch you.  If a girl touches you, she likes you. If a girl's walking by you in the bar and she runs her hand across your back, or she actually moves you out of the way, she wanted to touch you. If she didn't, she'd be doing that. I had a friend, I was out, I was out with my wife and her best friend one night. This is like the funniest thing I've ever seen to this day. She knows what I'm gonna say, so funny. This freaking guy comes up to this girl and he's gonna approach her, but he doesn't do it straight away. He does this thing with his hand, which is like the awkward lurking out hand thing. He does that. You know the hover hand thing? And then he brings it out and he goes to touch her and she knew he was gonna approach and she suddenly just goes, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. And like moves her body away from him. And it's like, she didn't wanna be touched. The girl wouldn't be touched. If she touches you, it's interest. If she smiles at you, it's interest. If she starts asking you for help, that's interest. Requesting help is another great sign of interest, yeah? Like, oh, could you help me out? My purse has come off my wrist or whatever. Oh, my shoelaces need untie.  Whatever they need help with, they are the things. They're the key elements. They're gonna help you out with that. You know, another good, if a girl whispers too, do you know that's a really good sign? If you're talking to a girl, you know how many of you guys like, I can't hear what the girl's saying. And so they're like, so you know, so I'm gonna lean in. Like, I much prefer leaning back and then saying to them, dude, I can't hear you, come back closer. And the girl moves into you and she whispers. If she will come close to you and whisper, that's a great sign. You know why whispering feels good? This is another thing when I'm from body language. This is absolutely great. So check this. Your ear has three bones in it. For those of you guys that don't know that, those bones used to be part of your jaw, right? When you were a reptile, slash fish, slash, never word, reptile, you had these, and what they would use is reptiles sense vibrations in the ground with their jaw. And so these bones would vibrate and let them know what was around. And then it became a lot more efficient to just move them up into our ears, add an amplifier over it or whatever and pick in sound and sense sound vibrations and set a ground vibrations. Are you all with me so far? Did I lose anybody in that? I'm not good at teaching and I don't know, whatever. But that's basically how it works. So have you ever noticed that when someone strokes you it feels good? Thank God for that. And when, cause that would freak me out. After the whole, the guy that couldn't tell if a guy was smiling, she was stroking me to irritate me. I'd be like, dude, we're in trouble. Yeah, it feels good. But if someone punches you, it doesn't feel as good. It's a harsh hit. Or in the ear, if you whisper to somebody, it's a gentle vibration. It feels good. If you scream in someone's ear, that's like a punch, it's the equivalent. So these sound vibrations, it's a big deal. If a girl is willing to whisper, she's triggering that in you. And if you're whispering back to her, she's allowing you to trigger it into her. You know how you'll know that it doesn't work?  She'll be like, no, you're fine there. Thank you very much. Keep talking from there, at distance. I can hear you. I can lip read at you. I don't even need to hear what you're saying. I'm not even listening. I don't even care. That's what she'll do. If she does not want to talk to you, if she wants to talk, she will accommodate, she will listen. Now here's the fun one.  That's not necessarily so true. When you start to see these things, you'll notice that what happens is they increase in frequency. And so what happens is you can literally, you can almost time it. And you can be like, oh, there's a sign. Oh, there's another sign. Oh, there's another sign. And another one. And another one. And as the pace of these signs increase, the girl is more and more attracted to you. You'll see her knee will move close to you and try to make contact. She'll try and touch you. She'll lean in. She'll listen more. She'll flick her hair behind her ear. She'll smile. She'll laugh at the wrong moment. All of these signs start throwing at you and they speed up. If you do not do anything about it, when they start speeding up, you know what happens? The momentum goes, they slow down again. And you just missed out on that opportunity. Maybe you can build it up again and build it back up. If you don't, you miss out on that opportunity.  I've sat there with one of my instructors, analyzing this. We just watch it. I'm like, watch on the clock. She's roughly every 20 seconds at the moment. And you see it. Tick, tick, tick. Just ticks over one after the other.  That was like 10 seconds there. This guy better make a move. And then you'll see me. I'll walk by. I've got like the app blurb. You guys seen the app? So much fun for teaching. It's like a scrolling banner across your phone. And I'm like sneaking behind the girl, trying to get the student to see it.  And I'm like trying. And then the girl looks at me and I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, that picture was so good.  Oh, that's a good picture. What do you think of the picture, man? It's so good. And I'm like, dude, stand over there. Let me take a picture of you. Now, now. And of course, the student didn't see it. He doesn't escalate. And then the girl, you see her. She starts using interest. And you know what happens then? What does she do next? She starts type one glancing around the rest of the room. You guys ever seen that? This guy, I know he's seen it. Right, you've seen it. She starts type one glancing around the rest of the room. Some other guy comes up, orders a drink. And the next thing you know, bam, you've missed off it. I had a friend of mine. I took him to London. I took him to Essex. If any of you have never been to Essex, you're like, you know, right? I've been to Essex. Right, Essex, if you want to learn game fast, just go to Essex. Everything's on drugs. Everything's literally on drugs, but it's faster. You have to go. And I told him, I was like, man, we'll teach you to escalate in Essex. Just move real quick. And so he's talking to his chick. He's building commonalities. And everything's going great. And she's flirting with him. And he goes, let's get a drink together. And she goes, OK. And he goes, I'll just go buy one. So he goes to the, she's here. He goes here. And he goes, hi, I love two shots, please. And the guy's like, yeah, no problem. Give him some two shots. He goes, great. Turns around, she's making out with someone else. He had maybe 25 seconds. That's it. She lost interest. And she literally, he went to her. He was looking at her with the shots. And he goes, sorry. And then he started to keep making out with it. And he's just like, fine, bucket. That, it's fast. You've got to move fast. You've got to capture. So in different places, you know, girls, the frequency is going to be faster. You learn it, you get an idea of the pace. You've got to escalate at that time. So these signs, if you see them, the ones I've given you are pretty big. Like this will make a huge impact. You can use those to make a big difference. But it's not always about the signs that we observe. It's also our own signs. If there are any girls watching this, you can use those signs to tell a guy you want to be approached. And if you give them enough of them, a lot of guys need a lot of signs. So you might need to give them more. They will eventually come and approach. Guys wake up. They go, oh, that's a sign. I should go and do that. Don't think, oh, you know, I kind of winked at him so he likes me. No. Wink, smile, ask for help, laugh, everything for the guy to really pick up on it if they're not trained.   But there's also our own personal signs. So for example, Candle, psychologist, said, 91, this great study about the human brain. Did you know we have a separate part of our brain for analyzing hand gestures? How many of you speak with your hands? Raise your hand. How many of you speak with your hands? Not enough of you, right? We have a part of our brain for analyzing hand gestures. This is why apes learn sign language faster than they learn other types of language to be able to respond. This is why children can learn sign language before they learn how to actually speak. Our hands, there is an entire part of the brain for them. Have you ever noticed how all pickup artists have rolled up sleeves? I thought about this. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I'm just letting you guys know that this study says that women have a part of the brain that actually is attracted to male hands and the way they move. Stop rolling up your sleeves right now. They even wait, they even wait. Roll them up, that's it, good. Yeah, that's what happens, right? There is a part of the brain designed to look at them. This actually, one of the other signs is gesticulation, speaking with your hands. It's actually a sign of attraction. For girls doing that too, it means she's attracted to and girls read it as we being attracted to them. It's a great thing to do. If you're not doing it, you need to be doing it. Okay, here's a fun one. How many of you, I've been studying so much on body language, I've been like pulling apart all the old pickup body language.  Okay, this is a whole thing about stand up, be a man, look like this. Do you know females take this as an aggressive posture? Like this is aggression to most females. It's not attraction, it's aggression.  And then I started analyzing the guys that teach it and you know what I notice? Sure, they do stand with their shoulders back ahead but you know what they do? They have their head tilted to one side. And it turns out that in the animal kingdom, in fact in human beings, having a male head tilted to one side shows sympathy, shows kindness, shows thoughtfulness.  And you stop watching all the videos of the top pickup artists and you'll see them, they'll do this. Hi, nice to meet you. You guys ever seen that now?  That's the funny thing. That's what I love about Neil. He was like, yeah, I know that works. That's why I do it. But he didn't tell anyone yet, good stuff. But yeah, all the top pickup artists, man, they all do it, the head goes to one side. Keep your body language up, the head just gives a little bit of compassion. It makes it work. So in a second, I'm gonna ask you guys, I'm gonna open the floor to some questions. But before that, I just wanna give you an idea of what this might look like.  So this guy, he goes in and he's like, that's the one I'm getting. That one. I don't care if she looks at me. I don't care, I just want her. Her, that's what I'm gonna get. And off he goes. And you go in the club and you start hanging out with your friends. You just have some drinks. Who cares about running around a bar, picking up chicks. Just chill out with your mates.  See who's looking at you, see who smiles back. See who looks bored of their conversation. Who's throwing out type one glances. Is anyone looking at you and flicking their hair multiple times? Anyone smiling at you? Anyone bumping into you accidentally? All this stuff, you start reading it.  And then at some point, you see one of those hot 10, one of the 10 girls that you like and she starts giving, maybe just a type one glance, just that she's bored of the person she's talking to. You know what, that's my opportunity. I'm gonna capitalize on that. And you move up and you see this guy sweating buckets trying to chat to this chick.  And the guy's like, but this is my girlfriend.    Thanks for this much. You introduce yourself, you talk and it's easy. Why is it easy? Cause she wanted to talk to someone and then you start seeing, she's smiling at you. She's laughing. She's laughing at your jokes.  That's how I know a girl likes me. When a girl laughs at me, I'm like, dude, I am not funny.  Like that's how I think that's how I work it out. And so you start seeing this and it builds up and then I'm in this conversation and this is speeding up. She's smiling at me more. She's touching, she's leaning in. She's whispering in my ear. I'm whispering in her ear. We're laughing, we're joking. The connection's starting to build and I'm reading all of these signs and I know, I know for a fact that this girl is attracted to me. Not because I'm assuming it, because I can see it. I can see the psychological signs. I know what they are and I am reading them one after the other, thick and fast. I know all of them. I can see them coming at me.   Thank you. So on that, I wanted to take some time just to make sure I've got it. I think I've got like eight minutes or something. I don't know how long I've got. I want to take some time. If you guys have any questions about any of the stuff I've taught or anything that I've ever taught, please raise your hands. And I'm at 15 minutes, thank you. Oh yeah, because the extra, thank you. So I have 15 minutes. So if any of you guys have questions, now is the time. On that or any subject, go! Or even yoga. Yes. Joking about yoga. Is there any signal of that she's interested that's like stronger than some of the others or are there? Dude, that's a great question. Okay, so first of all, type three glance is going to be absolutely huge. There's another big one where if a girl places your hand on her, that's probably the biggest one you're going to get. Other things that I've looked for is when a girl places her hands on your abs, that area specifically. But you can think of it this way and this is like a real, it's like cheating almost. Wrists throw white organs, genitals. Any of this area where if you slit it with a knife, it would hurt a lot. That's the kind of place where if a girl's touching there, it's a really good sign. Because she's basically saying, you can trust me, I'm touching you here and everything's okay. I like you and you can trust me in this position. Unless she's holding it with a knife, that wouldn't be okay. There's context in everything. But yeah, does that make sense? Cool, all right, next question. Go for it. You had said about you showing your own interest in terms of gesticulating or any other, tilting the head to the side. But what would be the issues of coming off in the beginning of showing all this interest even though she hasn't necessarily given you a reason to have to return there? This is the best bit about this, right? I love that question. This is the best bit. This isn't neediness. This isn't like, oh my God, can I buy you a drink? This is a very subtle, nonverbal communication that she's hardwired to think she sees but isn't sure. Remember, hopefully the girl you're talking to is not watching this video and doesn't know that that is exactly what that means. Just like before I spoke today, none of you knew that that was a sign. If you were talking to a girl and you started seeing her talk with her hands, you wouldn't be like, that's definite interest.  You wouldn't think, fuck, that's gesticulation. I see it. This girl's obviously somewhat interested. And it's not like, yes, I want you, I'm interested. So what you're saying is, subconsciously in a very minor way, I'm interested. Let's see what happens. And of course, here's the funny thing. When you, and this is what I love about pickup. These are always levels, right? At the higher level, what's this?  Yeah, it's cool. So now I kill interest. Same thing you do push pull in regular game. I can just add that into my game. So I've got a whole other repertoire I can play with. Imagine opening up a girl and being really like, mobile as you speak and your hands are moving everywhere. And then suddenly she says something you don't like and you just stop.  He doesn't seem as happy anymore. I better fix that. And then she starts working hard to get you and we've got investment, which are triggering, which any of you guys have followed my stuff and those that's really the biggest key in triggering attraction. Cool, next question. Yeah, go for it. If she gives you a type three glance, can you just escalate off the fly really hard? Most guys who go direct have actually just spotted a type three glance and have gone for it. I gave this challenge like, I'm a big fan of direct game. I was one of the first guys to do a direct game video and show how it works. And one of my favorite things about direct game is to call out the guys that go direct game is the only thing you need and it's the only thing that works every single time. It works, it's great, but you gotta use it in the right situation. Direct game from a type three glance is gonna look impressive. It's gonna be fast, it's gonna be quick. And most of the guys that I've ever seen do direct game have already triggered a type three glance. There are people that specifically when they're teaching will say get in front of the girls so she can see you, like they'll go out of their way to get in front so they can trigger that icon type before they do it because they know that's an important part of it. Right, that's the trigger. But in terms of like, if you're going indirect, you don't necessarily need that you're gonna be working harder for it. So direct game's amazing in terms of speed and efficiency and type three glance is probably a very good sign that you can go somewhat direct. But here's the thing, I always like to read off the girl.  I saw it from the other side of the room. I had to come over and say hi. I'm Adam, nice to meet you. That's much more likely what I'm gonna say. And then the girl's gonna be like, oh my God, you've got great smile too. I'm bitsy or whatever her name is. And then we're like, oh, that's so cool, bitsy. What a cool name. I love that name. That's a great name. And then we're just gonna give these dumb compliments that don't really mean anything while smiling at each other and kind of like flirting. And the conversation doesn't really matter at that point. And so we are indirectly being direct. We are hardcore flying.  I think this song's awesome. We should go and do that or whatever I'm gonna, I'm just gonna lead it and do whatever I want because I know I've already got the attraction. Whereas if I'm getting a type one glance, I'm much more likely to go in with something a bit indirect first until I start seeing the faster glances. And the other thing as well, when you start seeing the signs of attraction speed up, that's when you know to go direct. So you can be going indirect, indirect, indirect, watch the signs increase. And then when you start getting like one sign every minute or something, one sign every 30 seconds, you can say, you know what?  And you'll find a lot of pickup artists do this naturally, but don't know that's what they're doing. And that's one of the things I feel that I bring to the table and pick up. I analyze what people are actually doing and teach that because I think that, I don't know about you guys.  Give me tables, give me charts, give me dice. It doesn't help so much with game, but whatever. You know what I mean? I need that. And so by really analyzing it, I find that makes things a lot easier for me. Physically escalate off the bat, like grab her hands and stuff like that? I wouldn't, like, I'm not a fan of pulling girls and dragging them around and doing stuff. I'm much, here is the thing.  Right? My game is always run that way. I'm always like, hey, you know what? I'm gonna do a small after party back at my place. I got some drinks. We're probably gonna bust out some karaoke at home. It's fun. You are totally welcome to turn up. If you don't wanna come, I totally get it, but I'm letting you know you're missing out on all the fun that we're gonna be having. That's much more likely to make the girl. And if I say that while smiling at her and being like, hey, listen, I would love to invite you. I'm not even saying you're invited. I'm just like, I would love to invite you. Here's the situation, what do you wanna do? And get the girl to come that way rather than being like, come, we're getting karaoke. You know what I mean?   I love jerk reaction, that's great.   If she wants you, she'll come. If you're getting a type three glance, this girl wants you.   Be like, hey, you know what, you got a great smile. Let's go somewhere more quiet. I'd like to talk to you, this music's too loud. Stuff like that, yeah? Cool, man, no problem. Cool, next question. I never got that one afterwards. Hi, so I'm a huge fan of one of your other previous speeches where you talked about the four types of guys and the three types of girls. That is conversation gold. I use that all the time. Do you know about the iPhone app? They have one. I made one. I made an iPhone app. It's called Pocket Dating Advices in the iPhone Store and basically it does the test for you. You can just hand it to the girl. It looks like a random personality test. Dude, this is so much fun.  But then in your email, you get sent the full personality breakdown. Nice, nice, cool. Anyway, sorry. Well, your vibe is very extroverted and I've had a lot of success with extroversion and happy and talk with my hands. And then I watch bad boys do none of that. They're just, they have a complete economy of movement and speech and I'm trying to understand how somebody that's so different from me is having such good success with things that... So have you toyed with that vibe and I've tried to toy with it. So 100%, it's actually funny. This is just how I teach. It's not how I game. And everyone misses this. I do not go in a club.  Hey, nice to see you. That's not how I game. That's how I am in a seminar. When I go into a club, I have much more chill. I walk up, I see some of my friends. I'll talk to girls I'll already know. And if I don't already know girls there, I will sit and talk to one or two waitresses until I get to know people and I get to own that venue. I only have to, I went to Melbourne four months ago, five months ago. And the first night I went to a bar specifically to meet girls, like waitresses. So the next night that I went there, everyone knew me. And I walked in and I literally, on the third night that I went there, the staff at the door, because I didn't speak to the guys.  And the guys hated me because all the girls were talking about me everywhere they went.  So I will create those situations for myself just so I can really be chill and have people coming up to me and wanting to talk to me. But based on the PEN model, like we're saying, the bad boy kind of style is gonna work on a certain group of girls. But like, you try that bad boy thing.  You'll see it, the girl will be like, oh, no, thank you. And she'll move away, you know what I mean? He won't be able to get girl, huh. He will get a type of girl. That's literally what that talk is all about. So you can develop it and you can get the kind of girls that will go for that because there are kind of girls that you can go up to and you can be like, hey, I'm gonna talk to you for a minute. Something else like that. What do you want? Psychotic, you're gonna be dealing with that attitude. You know, so it can work. It's just about working out what you want. I really can be adapt to what I can change and be whichever one I want. And that's something that I've spent a lot of time learning. And that's because when I was learning game, I learned from so many different people. I had like 12 coaches that taught me. And like, it's always funny whenever I learn, everyone's like, I just wanna go out there and practice and do it. And I'm like, well, I had 12 coaches, did a boot camp, did a living program, downloaded everything that I could and had about 12 wings at one point. You know, that's how I got good. Like, and he's like, well, I did a one-on-one once. I'm like, good for you, man, that's cool. I wanted to get really good, really quick. But having said that, I did a lot more stuff on my own as well. You don't need that. It's just, you can pull from it if you can. Cool. Next question, there was one there. How do you handle really loud high-energy club game? Like, dirty six, we can barely talk. Dude, okay.  Like, I live in Austin. There are so many better places to go than dirty six. Like, oh, I don't wanna say them, because I'll, yeah, I know, right? I won't, because I'll kill all the good venues, right? I'll kill all the good venues publicly. There are, yeah, I know, I will literally turn all the good places bad in one misplaced statement. You know what, I will do a favor. If you guys want to, no, actually, I won't. I'm gonna keep it quiet. But actually, at the end of this, I'm gonna get some of you guys, because this is my hometown, I've got an idea of something I wanna do. So, at the end of today, before we round it up, I will tell you guys about something I wanna do. But, if you are in a loud venue, and you've got loud music and you're trying to compete with it, your options are to use a lot more sign language and body language. That's gonna help. Everything I just spoke about today is gonna directly translate. Go into the club, you can just start dancing with your friends, start seeing where your signs are when you get the signs moving and do dance floor game. Have you seen my dance floor game video? Dude! That's like how most people know me. Okay, for those of you guys that don't know, it's like pen and paper right now, you might as well, it's free, just go get it. YouTube.com forward slash AFCAdamLondon. That's like my personal YouTube channel, and there is a video on there of me doing dance floor game, and you can just copy that and do it. And my website, they mentioned at the beginning, has like a program where dance floor game's part of it, but whatever, just watch the free video and copy it. It's faster and easier. So yeah, so that should help. But yeah, I do non-verbal in clubs that are allowed, typically. Cool, yes, this guy, Honolulu. Okay, cool, it's the final question, make it good. Alrighty, I've watched all your 21 convention speak talks, and you talked once about having the three things, confidence, abundance, and the ability to sexually escalate, and then I had a question specifically on abundance. I know you've, I think, talked about having a birthday when you got like about 100 girls to come out with you and this and that, something like that. I don't know exactly what the specifics were, but who cares? But my question is, how do you kind of get that commitment out of all those girls to come with you to a venue like that, or you know, like the girls in the red dresses you spoke about? This is where people get it wrong, right? They're like, how can I convince a girl to do something? How can I drag the girl to do something, right? That's what you were talking about earlier. It's not that way. Those girls came because they wanted to be there for my birthday. Like a really good example, I'm giving a talk on pickup and I've got, like, there's girls in the background, they've come to watch me teach pickup. Like they're not actually interested in pickup or actually they probably are. But like, you know what I mean? It's not that they're like, I need to learn from Adam and I can get a free ticket by just turning up. That's not what they're thinking. They're like, I'm gonna go and support Adam and see what Adam's got to say. They're here for me. They actually like me. And that is what most pickup artists get wrong. Like, when I fly and I do my talks, like my wife always comes with me, I always say, like, you know, I don't go anywhere without a girl. But in my hometown, I can have friends, like girls turn up and hang out with me. I have more female friends than male friends. I like girls a lot more. And because of that, they can turn. They can like me. We hang out for genuine reasons. We've been popping emberry pills for like days with like half of these girls. Do you guys know what emberries are? They're amazing, right? It's like a pill you take that replaces sugar.  I've been getting antsy hooked on them. They're amazing. There's like no side effects that are known yet. But they're great.  Guys, go get lemons. And then so we'll all have an emberry and we'll all start eating lemons. And then there'll be random girls going by and I'll be like, hey, have you noticed how sweet these lemons are? And the girls are like, oh my God, no, let me try one. It's horrible. I'm like, I'm liking it. I'm like, how are you doing that? All of you guys. And we've trained ourselves to smile through it.  And then we add more girls to the group and they all want to come and hang out. And then we tell them, there's a secret. We've got this pill. I'll take one. That's great. And then so they join in and that's where friends come from. We're all having fun, hanging out and the other girls join in. How do you get 250 girls to come and hang out with you in a venue? They want to hang out with you in the venue. I have that many, had that many female friends that lived in that city. And even here, I don't have anywhere near the amount that I used to have, but like, I've got a pretty good amount of girls. I know at any point in my life, if I want to go out and play laser tag, I can get a group of girls to come and play laser tag with me. That's cool, because girls are really easy to beat a laser tag. And on that point, guys, thank you ever so much. I'm going to run through some stuff just very quickly. So this is my hometown, this is where I live. And for the any of you guys that follow me on Facebook or wherever, you'll know that I do brag about my laser tag quite a lot. It's going to be real with you. I'm currently ranked number seven in Texas, or at least in this area. So if anybody wants to get a straight laser tag, down. But more importantly, I'm going to do a dinner on Sunday night. I literally am not going to invite everybody to come. I just want a really small handful of people. If you are interested in coming to that dinner, I'm telling you now, I'm going to charge 300 bucks for it, but you know, I'll pay for the food as well.  And we can just talk game. You can ask me any questions you like about anything, about some of the new stuff that I work on, because I take about a year before I refine stuff and bring it out here. So if any of you guys do want to come and do that, just come and find me afterwards and talk to me. If any of you guys want to find out more of the science or any of that kind of crap, come find me after. Let me know. And for those of you guys that do come to the dinner with me, I'm letting you know in advance, if you push the out of playing laser tag with me afterwards, I will call you out on it. Like after the dinner, we will probably go and play laser tag. Guys, thank you ever so much for having me. It's a pleasure as always. Anthony. Thank you.


In this video, we will demonstrate how to assemble the DynaVap M+. The DynaVap M+. consists of the captive cap, the M+. tip, the M+. stem, the M+. condenser, and four o-rings. Two o-rings on the tip, two o-rings on the condenser. Please note that one condenser o-ring is slightly larger than the other. Place a small o-ring on the inside double groove of the condenser. Place a larger o-ring on the end of the condenser. Next, insert the condenser into the mouthpiece end of the stem. Seat the larger o-ring until it's flush. We recommend using DynaWax to lubricate the tip o-rings during assembly. Now that your stem and condenser is together, insert the tip into the stem by twisting the tip. Finally, place the cap on the tip. Now your DynaVap M+. is ready to be used. Thank you for watching this quick video of the M+. assembly. Check out our other videos for more information.


Truth is a natural happening. If you invent it, that's called a lie. Truth is not something that you invent. Truth is something that you realize. Lie is something that you invent. So you don't have to say truthfully naturally. What is naturally is truth. So, should one follow the precepts of the past or should one come to something new, there should not be a compulsion about breaking the rules of the past. Not there should be a compulsion that you must only do it the way of the past. It is important that every generation looks at what is really needed, what is not needed.  Every day you must throw out the garbage, then only the house is clean. Similarly in our lives, many things that don't work, we must throw them out on a daily basis. If we don't do that, as a culture, if you don't do it for hundreds of years, then you become stagnant, when you become stagnant, nothing works. Right now, if we are constantly looking for better ways of doing every aspect of our life, I'm saying from the simplest, if you just start looking, what is the best way to sit? Invariably you will come to me, you will want to learn yoga. If you start looking, what is the best way to breathe? I'm saying these are all vital things. What is the best way to eat? What is the best way to manage my body? If you just start thinking like this, you will start doing yoga. That is, you will start approaching your physical and mental well-being in a scientific manner. Similarly, what is the best way to interact between two neighbors? If you look at it truthfully, then you will arrive at a science, what works best between neighbors, rather than trying to weave a philosophy around it. So, the philosophies of the past also might have been sense at one time, which turned into a kind of a precept over a period of time. Then it turned into a law, then it turned into a belief system, then it becomes a religion over a period of time. Instead of that, we have to come to our senses about everything. But will we arrive at an ultimate answer for everything? Maybe not, because changing realities are there. So, one way of looking at life is first and fundamental thing is, there is substantial scientific and medical evidence to show you that your body and your brain will function at its best only when you're joyful. So, first thing is this, that you have a body and brain which works well. You have a functioning brain. If this has to happen, you must be in a pleasant state of experience. So, first thing is to become joyful by your own nature. If you manage this, you have a functioning brain. Have you noticed this? When you're happy, you find solutions. When you're unhappy, you create problems. Have you not noticed this in every situation in your life? So, this is important. The first and basic thing, this is not done. People think pursuit of happiness is to be achieved. You must be successful towards the end of your life. No, this is the very first thing that you are joyful by your own nature. Now you have a functioning intelligence which is not encumbered by any compulsions. You are in pursuit of happiness means you are encumbered by all kinds of compulsions. I am joyful means you are not encumbered by anything. Now you can look at things just the way they are. Only if you see things just the way they are, not from a prejudiced mind, simply the way they are, then you will also come up with solutions every day, better and better solutions. If you cannot even see what is there because you have prejudiced opinions about everything, then how a solution will come, when you don't even figure the problem, how will you come up with a solution?


Is a colored coin a meta coin? So, Albert, the term metacoin, I think, has only been used by me. I coined the term, if you like, back in 2014 when writing Mastering Bitcoin 1st Edition. I wanted to differentiate between coins that have their own blockchain, coins that were called altcoins at the time, and coins that use metadata on top of another blockchain. Nowadays, that term I don't think is that useful, because that distinction is a bit blurred. So, coins that use metadata on top of an existing blockchain, colored coins are, according to my definition, meta coins. They do not have their own blockchain. They use metadata in order to exist on top of another blockchain, in the particular case of colored coins, that usually refers to the Bitcoin blockchain. But nowadays, we have all of these tokens. Tokens could in some ways be considered meta coins, because they are metadata on top of Ethereum. But then again, not really metadata, they are full smart contracts. That definition is a bit blurry nowadays. Let's go to the second question. Albert asks, how would the colored coin appear on a blockchain? Can a transaction involved a colored coin be distinguished from an ordinary transaction? Yes, Albert, it can. On the blockchain, what you will see is, within the transaction that refers to a colored coin, there will be some additional data in the form of an up-return code. What the up-return code does is, it is a non-spendable output that contains up to 80 bytes of data. These 80 bytes usually have some kind of prefix that identifies which protocol they are using. For example, if a certain type of colored coin is implemented from KOLU, or an open asset implementation of colored coins, then the first two characters will actually identify it as such. If the transaction is part of some kind of secondary layer, like counterparty or omni, again, the up-return will contain a prefix that identifies it as an omni-metadata or as counterparty-metadata. As a result, you can identify colored coins and transactions happening on secondary layers, like counterparty and omni, on the blockchain. Vikas asks a similar question. In regards to colored coins, how is a Genesis transaction created? Is the Genesis transaction part of the Genesis block? No, it's not, Vikas. A Genesis transaction is a transaction on Bitcoin that has within it an up-return. That up-return identifies that a new colored coin has been created, and the up-return itself would have some kind of prefix identifying which colored coin protocol is being used. Would color the specific coins in that transaction with the new metadata for this new form of colored coin that has just been created? The fact that it's called a Genesis transaction is a bit confusing. I agree with you, because we use the term Genesis to mean something else in Bitcoin. It's the Genesis of that colored coin. Again, Genesis is simply the Greek word for birth, so it's the transaction that gives birth to that colored coin. Sudhakar asks, what's the difference between coins and tokens? Can this be defined in layman terms? What a great question, Sudhakar. I've been wanting to talk about this for a while, because people use these terms interchangeably. I think a good definition is this, a coin has its own blockchain. A token does not. A token usually is implemented on top of a coin. For example, the various tokens that are used in counterparty, omni, and colored coins are all tokens. They work on top of Bitcoin, which is a coin with its own blockchain. All of the ERC-20 tokens and other standardized tokens, ERC-721 tokens, etc., that exist in Ethereum, those are all tokens. They don't have their own blockchain, they operate on top of the Ethereum blockchain. People use these terms interchangeably, and it's very confusing for most new users. I think one way to remove the ambiguity a bit, and it's not a perfect rule, and it will probably get violated, is to call things that have their own blockchain coins, and to call things that do not have their own blockchain, but operate on top of another blockchain as a smart contract or secondary layer tokens. Issa asks, can anyone create their own coins using Ethereum? Yes, you can create your own, and those are called tokens. In last week's class, we talked about the difference between coins and tokens. While this isn't a broadly accepted definition, I use it for convenience. Coins are things that have their own blockchain. Tokens are things or abstractions that run on top of another blockchain. ERC-20 tokens or Ethereum tokens are abstractions that run on top of the Ethereum system, which has its own coin called Ether, which runs on its own blockchain, the Ethereum blockchain. Similarly, you could have Bitcoin with its own coin, which is Bitcoin, which runs on its own blockchain, Bitcoin. But it also has the ability to run tokens, such as those built using counterparty or omni. Those are not coins, they don't have their own blockchain. Issa asks a follow-up question, how was Ripple and Litecoin created? Both Ripple and Litecoin have their own blockchain, so they are independent coins. They are not tokens running on top of another blockchain, and they have a very different path. Litecoin is based primarily on Bitcoin's codebase. Litecoin is a slight modification of Bitcoin's codebase, and has been following the development of Bitcoin very closely. It's meant to be a lighter, faster version of Bitcoin, exploring different trade-offs between scalability, security, and centralization. But it still maintains more than 99% the same codebase as Bitcoin, and keeps upgrading accordingly. Ripple, on the other hand, is a completely separate codebase. It has nothing to do with the code in Bitcoin. It has a different model for implementing its network, a different model for validation of transactions. It uses a federated model instead of a blockchain, and it has different properties for security, decentralization, and scalability. Richard is asking a slightly cheeky question, do you think building smart contract functionality on Bitcoin can make Vitalik blush? The full question is, the ERC20 standard for creating tokens has been hugely successful, driving many individuals and businesses to Ethereum. Are you aware of any smart contract protocols allowing the creation of tokens that can be secured to Bitcoin's blockchain? More precisely, now that the Lightning network layer is taking roots, could this be built upon to offer decentralized, permissionless token issuance, combining Bitcoin's ultra-high security with Lightning's ultra-low transactions, smart contract execution costs? Richard, first of all, I don't think Vitalik is going to blush if Bitcoin does smart contracts. As I've said many times in the past, I don't think that Ethereum and Bitcoin are competing directly, nor do I think that they can compete directly, because the flexibility that exists in Ethereum makes it less suitable for doing the robust reserve currency functions of Bitcoin, and the robust reserve currency functions of Bitcoin make it less suitable for doing the flexible smart contracts of Ethereum. You can't get both.  Bitcoin maximalists will tell you, Bitcoin can do everything that Ethereum can do only better, Ethereum maximalists will tell you Ethereum can do everything Bitcoin can do, in fact, every other chain can do only better. I don't think that's the case. I think there are, in practice, engineering trade-offs that have to be made where you can't get everything. When I used to be a consultant, I used to tell my clients, you can get best, you can get fast, or you can get cheap. You pick two of those. So, of the best, fast, and cheap, you only get to pick two. It's either going to be cheap and fast, and it's not going to be my best work. It's going to be best and fast, and it's not going to be cheap, or it's going to be cheap and best, and it's going to take a long time to do. Those are the options. In computer science and in other terms, we call that a trilemma. It's like a dilemma only with three, a trilemma in which you can only pick two. Blockchains have a lot of trilemmas in them, and these trilemmas are optimizations. Security, scalability, privacy, pick two. Flexibility for smart contracts, immutability of the chain, robust finality on the consensus algorithm. Pick two. Generally, these become the trilemmas that we have to optimize for. There are companies trying to reconcile some of these and optimize for different points in that trilemma. You can fudge a bit and move a bit in more direction, move a bit in the other direction, but you're not really removing the trade-off. In fact, I actually like systems that explicitly take a position on this trilemma and don't try to do everything.  The systems that have a specific philosophy. Bitcoin isn't trying to do very flexible, very complicated smart contracts because that comes at a security cost. Ethereum isn't trying to work conservatively and slowly because moving fast and breaking things, and innovating as quickly as possible to do flexible smart contracts, is absolutely the sweet spot for that blockchain. We can go into analysis of other blockchains and look at the various optimizations they do. We used to have ICO-capable ERC token-like tokenization systems in Bitcoin before Ethereum came along. Bitcoin did this. It did it with COUNTERPARTY, which is a second-layer protocol using the opera-turn data parameter in the Bitcoin script. Two-track metadata, colored coins. We had and have still the Omni protocol layer. COUNTERPARTY and Omni still exist on Bitcoin. You can still do ICOs, tokens, coins, and all of that stuff. Of course, there's RSK, which is trying to build a side-chain, or drive-chain, in this particular case, that works in parallel with Bitcoin, where you have smart contracts that are peg-to-the-Bitcoin currency and use part of the Bitcoin security model. Again, these are different optimizations. The market is already telling us that they would rather take the flexibility of Ethereum. Quite honestly, that's a bit of a double-edged sword, because yes, you get all of the ICOs, but you also get all of the scam ICOs. Do we really want that to come back to Bitcoin? If you look at the history in 2012, ICOs and new coins were being done with alt-chains, so people built entire blockchains by forking the Bitcoin code. That's what you saw in the early coins. Some of them made sense, some of them didn't, most of them didn't. Then we had the second layer of stuff. In 2013 and 2014, we had COUNTERPARTY and Omni, and we saw a lot of initial coin offerings on those. ICOs were not invented by Ethereum. Bitcoin was doing them for two years before Ethereum came on the scene. Finally, Ethereum made it so easy to do that any programmer with basic JavaScript experience can code an insecure token and make a mess. That's what happened. I don't know that we want that in Bitcoin, because that dilutes the value proposition of Bitcoin. It's an interesting proposition. What Rootstock is doing is an interesting proposition, but we'll see how that plays out.


Well every summer we tell you about new reports of zebra mussels or other aquatic invasive species in Minnesota's lakes. Tonight Clayton Castle tells us about the Initiative Foundation and its mission of helping to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species in Minnesota lakes. Summer nights on the lakes are over for 2017, but the work to fight the spread of aquatic invasive species never ends. Thanks to the Initiative Foundation, five innovative pilot projects received grants to aid in stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species in Minnesota lakes. In 2014, the LaSarde-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council recommended to the legislature that we receive a grant of four million dollars to support innovative strategies to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species statewide. One of those projects is the Boat Bucket Water Project at the Akin County Soil and Water Conservation District. Another project involves lake water and providing clean water for anglers to take to their next fishing destination. And we're going to provide clean water for them to replace the water that they drain out so that they can keep their minnows or leeches alive and use them again at their next fishing location. Another exciting project is the Itasca County Aquatic Invasive Species Program's project to create a partnership between resorts and other lakeside businesses with the program to aid in providing solutions to stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species. We're here to reach out to resorts, lodges, campgrounds, marinas, and say, how can we help you? We hear our AAS programs. How can we help you? Again, historically there haven't been as many partners in the resort community. And yet it appears that Itasca, Vermilion, and Cass County have found a way to not only make them partners, but allow them to lead the project. In the end, the Initiative Foundation believes the way to reaching its goal of stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species is through innovative and creative projects that have not been done before. When the LaSarde-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council recommended this grant, they really were intentionally giving us permission to work outside of the box to support some more innovative strategies. Reporting in Brainerd, Clayton Castle, Lakeland News. $354,000 in grants by the Initiative Foundation were awarded to the five projects.

If you went up to anyone on the street and asked them, hey, who's your favorite comedian? Nine times out of 10, they'll probably name off some guy comedian, you know, even just looking at the top 10 highest paid jokers, you'll see that people tend to appeal more to guys than women. Why is that? Oh, it's simple. It's just because women are better than men. Oh, I guess I should probably explain that. Okay, you see, according to the Science Bible, during human evolution, you know, when the first humans emerged, women developed these things called expectations and needs. I know, gross, right? They decided if they had to mate, they wanted their partner to be caring, compassionate, and trustworthy.   Now, because of this intellectual divide, the male humans had to find some sort of way to fit these impossible standards. So we developed a secret weapon, human. That's right. The male humans found out he didn't have to be caring, compassionate.  As long as you can make a girl life, you're good to go. I mean, think about it. Why do you think Jesus died of urgent? You know, he wasn't a funny man. He didn't really have any comedy skills.  I am the son of God. You know, expecting to get some Gucci. And look, that's cool and all, Mr. Son of God.  God damn. Women can make another human being inside their own bodies. They don't commit as much crime as we do. They got them thick waist, them succulent fruits called boobies that hang on their chest. They got that pretty skin that...  Oh yeah, they got all that and what do we do?  That's it. But more importantly, we have our humor. Now, this is a rough example of what happens to a woman's mind when you tell a joke. Hey miss, why was six afraid of seven? Stay away from me, pervert! Because seven, eight, nine. Damn, maybe I should have this man's child. This is the last thing I'm gonna present to you before I gotta go clock into my part-time job. It's an article about hand washing. Now, the subjects being males and females. Some 15% of men didn't wash their hands at all compared with 7% of women. When they did wash their hands, only 50% of men used soap compared with 78% of women. Now, 15% of men don't wash their hands. It only half that do actually use soap. Now, that's not surprising because I'm gonna keep it honest with you. I don't even remember the last time I washed my own hands. In fact, I don't even remember the last time I saw water as an object. And guess what? That doesn't matter. Women know this, they know this. And as long as you keep making them laugh, they just don't care. You know, I really do fear for the future.  And I fear that one day, women will realize how much more valuable they are.  Hopefully that day never happens, but you know, if it ever does, then we as men will actually have to put effort into our own appearance, you know?    Oh, no.


Shauna, let me ask you something. Why do you think that people in the community next door got indoor bathroom facilities added onto their homes some years ago? The results of the last census provided government with a picture of their situation and the government put a plan in place to help those persons who were in need. This is very interesting. I think my area could do with some government projects too. Shauna, let me ask you something.
