Dr. Glover: Often the hottest women have been the most
abused, they've never had to show up in any way, they're usually the least
accountable, the most entitled and the worst in bed.
Matt: Welcome to the Attractive Man podcast.
I'm your host, Matt Artisan. What's up, guys?
Today I'm with Josiah Prise
one of our top trainers here
at the in the Attractive Man, as well as author of No More Mr.
Nice Guy, Mr.
Robert Glover.
He's going to drop a ton of knowledge on you today, including whether pickup
advice is good or bad, whether it actually hurts you or harms
you. Whether it can really get you a hot girlfriend or not.
And should you use that old cliche, fake it till you make it advice.
And we're going to even talk about why you shouldn't date a hot woman.
Sounds pretty crazy if you ask me, but let's dive right in.
Josiah: Hey, Robert, I'd like to backtrack to something you said a minute ago,
which I really love your term "geeks with techniques."
So when you got out..
When you exited your second marriage and you're starting to date again and you
found.. Actually tell us your journey, because for me personally,
it was like I found the seduction community and I basically I'm pro "fake it
till you make it," because that's the path that I took.
Now, had I had other options that might
have been I might have done something different.
But at the time, that's all I had. So how
is it for you and what's your thoughts on fake it till you make it?
Robert: Yeah, OK, there's about four questions there.
Let me see if I can kind of parse them apart.
You know, there's no right way to do this. There's really not.
Now, my book, "Dating Essentials for Men,"
I call it the "UN-Pickup Guide to Dating Success."
I have mixed feelings about traditional pick up.
Now, when I became single
that was in one pick up was just really beginning to explode.
So, you know, like everybody else,
I read the game, you know, got all of David D'Angelo double your dating stuff.
What happened is all my clients that, you know, I was working with in my private
practice just started giving me stuff, books, DVDs.
Yeah. I was really kind of before, like,
YouTube was so big, but there's a lot of resources out there.
And so, yeah, you know,
I read the game and, you know, listen to some podcast
interviews and and then end up getting interviewed by David D'Angelo and ended up
getting interviewed by a lot of the people that I listen to.
So there's a lot of good information out there, a lot of good psychological
information that works in terms of interaction with the opposite sex.
And my issue with pickup, is it in the way that most ways is taught.
Now, here's here's one thing I've also noticed about pickups.
I've been able to watch it for twenty years.
Most pickup artists evolve over time and kind of get to where like, you know,
it really is about being authentic and, you know, and the relationship aspect
of it, you know, even Neil Strauss wrote the Bible of pickup to then write another
book that still looks like a Bible called "The Truth."
And it was all about finding relationship. Right?
So most of the guys were teaching pick up when I first got single, you know,
have evolved more into a social dynamic aspect of things, how to be authentic,
how to be real, how to move your energy, how to be grounded, how to be embodied,
how to how to set the tone and lead. All things that I think are really positive.
But the parts of that that I don't like about pickup is that I believe
fundamentally where much of his time, I think is demeaning to both men and women.
It often is based around teaching men, "OK,
you know, here's how you get the hottest women out there."
And, you know, I've never heard one pickup
artist say, "What is the benefit of getting the hottest woman out there?"
It's like we just assume we all know what the benefit of that is.
But there must be some benefit.
So what is that benefit? In my mind is
primarily egoic, its the man going, "Look at me, I'm not such a loser!
I got a hot woman.
All the guys are going to think I'm great!"
And we think it's going to lead to amazing sex, we think because that's male logic.
If she's hot, she must be great in bed.
In my personal experience and I've talked
with a lot of guys, I've talked to a lot of women,
often the hottest women have been the most abused..
They've never had to show up in any way.
They're usually the least accountable, the most entitled and the worst in bed.
And but, you know, because guys, we're you know, we're physical, we're visual.
We want that hot woman.
And it'll make me feel like I'm OK.
So I think it's demeaning to us and demeaning to them.
It breaks most women down to just accumulation of body parts, you know,
the ones with the best genetic inheritance?
All right.
That's the one I got to get because then and so it teaches how to pick up the,
you know, the most attractive woman in the room and go walk up and talk to her.
I think that's fundamentally invasive.
The approach I teach is that if you're
just in a space being yourself and you notice the
feminine noticing you. Go talk, go approach, go do something,
but just approaching a woman because you like her ass or you like her tits,
I tell men I think it's the worst possible reason to approach a woman.
You know nothing about her. Guys who say, "Well, but she looks nice."
No, don't stop lying to yourself.
You like her tits, you like her ass.
You think those tits will make your life better in some way.
That's really what it is.
And it keeps us in a really almost seven year old view of women.
"Oh, they have nice tits.
They're going to make my life better."
So I don't think there's a God damn thing wrong with those being physically
attracted to women are physically attracted to their body parts.
I don't preach against it,
but using that as our basis for deciding who we talk to and don't talk to or who we
want to go out with or don't want to go out with.
I've been doing relationship counseling for over 30 years.
I just think it's the worst possible
foundation to build anything long term with.
And as I said, contrary to guy logic,
it's also usually the worst possible way to have a good time in bed.
So with that said, you know, again, I go back to helping men be their
authentic selves, learning to soothe their anxiety,
learn how to get out of their comfort zones, learning to challenge themselves,
learning to walk through the open doors that present themselves.
You know, if you're standing next to a woman in line at Starbucks and you
just start a conversation and there's a mutual interest there.
Yeah, get a phone number.
If you're somewhere at a party
with a group of friends, you notice a woman's looked at you
a couple of times, walk across the room and talk to her,
you know, but to just don't be invasive because you
like a woman's tits, there's a reason why hashtag MeToo was so prominent.
Women have been invaded by men all of their lives.
And so I don't want to perpetuate that.
But I do want to teach men how to walk through every open door of opportunity.
And that's I'll bring it back to what my experience was.
That's what amazed me.
As I said, I didn't I couldn't believe what planet I had landed on.
Women were propositioning me..
They were giving me phone numbers.
They were getting naked on first and second dates.
And I'm going, what's happening here?
I didn't realize it worked like this.
And really going back to what I think it
was about, it's not because I was practicing pickup.
It's not because I sitting on the most attractive women in the room.
It's not because I was the youngest,
best looking richest guy in the room is because I had a sense of self.
Now, again, you guys began by asking how old I am.
I'm sixty four.
My wife is twenty two years younger than me.
We're coming up on four years of marriage and she's a fairly typical Latina
in that she she has that Latina jealousy. And she's actually, you know,
a really good, I don't know, barometer's the right word or
anyway, she is good at noticing women
noticing me, women walking in front of me, women bending over, you know,
kind of pointing their butt at, women bending over,
giving a little cleavage, women touching my shoulder as they walk by.
She's highly sensitive to that and lets me know it.
All right. And so even at sixty four.
Right.
I still draw that kind of energetic attention without me trying.
Right.
I actually I know how to, you know, attract and engage with women.
I keep it toned down. Right.
I'm married.
I don't want the attention or energy and it still keeps coming to me.
So I'm a big believer that we don't have to, you know, learn some some, you know,
poll question or clever pick up line or and walk across the room and find
the hottest woman and try to, you know, get her phone number and get the phone
number closed and go, "Yey! I got a number."
You know, she never calls you back and you ever see her naked, but you got her.
No, I never had to resort to that.
And again, it wasn't because I was the best looking guy in the room.
So it just taught me there are more
effective ways to draw the higher quality women into your life than than using,
you know, the tricks that that pickup teaches.
Now, again, a piece that I do like about
pickup is it gets men out of their comfort zone and it gives them gives them a tribe.
They you know, they find a group of men and they go out together and they go get
out of their comfort zone and do the things that scare them.
I'm actually a really big fan of that process, both of getting a tribe
connecting with men and getting out of your comfort zone..
So I actually do like that dynamic
that that typically occurs in like a dating boot camp or something like that.
Matt: Yeah, I think part of the problem, too, is they're still nice guys and pick up
just give them some lines and some things to do or say to look cool and sound cool.
But underneath it all, they're still nice guys.
They still have all these issues and baggage and trauma's.
They haven't dealt with yet,
so it's just a bandaid over the real problem and eventually,
usually sooner rather than later, the woman figures it out.
They do all that like he doesn't.
He's really not as cool he seems.
Robert: And the bottom line, they're not being themselves.
You know, if the social dynamic that they're
learning excuse me, is really about being their most bold, assertive self.
I love that. I love that.
But it was about just being phony in a way that gets drunk.
Twenty two year old women with lots
of insecurities to give you a phone number and what have you really gained?
And then as you said,
and then if the woman gets to know you and all of a sudden you still have these
really underlying fears of "I'm not very interesting," "I don't have anything to talk
about, you know, I'm just going to try to give
her everything she wants and try to make her happy."
They'll soon get bored with all that anyway.
Matt: And then if you even if you do sleep with her, then it could give you a false
sense of confidence, like you feel great for a little while
because you just slept with this gorgeous woman.
But that's not going to last very long because it's not real confidence.
