There exists a technique so POWERFUL that for millennia it was locked away atop Mt Olympus…
it made even the most beta of simps uncontrollably successful with the most beautiful of women…
9s.. 10s… yes, even those 11s.
Many believed it to exist only in legend… but today I bring this legend to life for
you my friends, with the hopes that it will save you from simp-hood.
This technique is known as, The Power Pause.
Haha ok ok..
Enough of the dramatics.
What exactly is the Power Pause?
Let me explain.
The Power Pause is that moment in the conversation where you just finished delivering a flirty
joke or make a direct statement or proposal, such as inviting her over and instead of rushing
to fill the silence, you stop and allow a pause to settle in.
You don’t rush to clarify what you meant, or backtrack on what you just said… you
stand by it firmly and let the silence add that extra punch to what you just said.
And the cherry on top to this power pause?
The thing that makes it REALLY powerful?
Bold eye contact.
Not quickly looking away as if you were trying to hide your nervousness or insecurity in
what you just said.
And if you’re really feelin’ it, then throw a smirk in there.
Want a perfect example of this?
Check out this scene from James Bond, Casino Royale to be specific.
You’ll notice she laughs a few seconds into the silence… it’s because she’s trying
to break the tension that’s established by his silence and eye contact.
In that moment when she took her time to respond, she was also testing him…
testing his resolve… testing to see truly how confident and worthy he is.
Were he to break eye contact or look away, or rush to clarify what he meant, she likely
would’ve just turned him down.
But she didn’t.
Now of course this is a movie, but this highlights the example of the power pause EXTREMELY well.
During this silence there is an entire conversation happening via subcommunication, how strong
your eye contact is, whether or not you’re fidgety, or if you try to follow it up to
fill the silence.
With this power pause, you’re subconsciously saying, “Yeah I said it.
And I meant it.
Now what are you gonna do about it?”
It’s the pinnacle of bold.
You’re standing strong in your frame and inviting her into it.
You’re giving her the chance to fall into your frame or reject it, and when you stand
by it firmly, she’ll be more than excited to join in.
It shows her that you’re not some flimsy pushover who is being ‘fake-nice’ in an
attempt to make her like you.
It’s straightforward and direct.
It’s refreshing.
Not only do you bask in the silence, but you also keep direct eye contact throughout it.
Don’t look away, don’t flinch..
You just let the silence marinate.
Sexual tension builds up and exists in these moments of silence where there’s nothing
but eye contact.
This is why it’s important not to buckle under the pressure, don’t break eye contact
until she does.
Don’t answer or say anything until she does, don’t try to correct it or break the silence
by changing topics, just maintain eye contact, smirk and don’t break until she says or
does something.
The Power Pause can also be used in social and professional scenarios.
In fact, I learned about this technique from sales, it’s a commonly used technique when
pitching products in person or over the phone.
The silence establishes your confidence and firmness in your frame.
“The price is the price,” So to speak.
Another non-romantic example of The Power Pause is when speaking to multiple people.
Oftentimes, when a leader is delivering a speech or a person is giving a TED Talk, you’ll
notice they stop and pause after certain sentences.
The pause serves to grab a person’s attention and pull their interest back in.
It creates what’s known as a pattern interrupt.
A moment or thing that breaks the pattern in a conversation and re-engages the person
on the receiving end.
With people constantly on their phone, and distracted 24/7, using a power pause can INSTANTLY
recapture their attention and get them focused on you.
And if they’re already listening closely to you, the silence will only captivate them
more because it’ll add punch to whatever you just said.
You ever notice how when you’re doing something wrong in class like on your phone, or not
paying attention, as soon as the classroom goes silent, you take notice and look around
to make sure nobody caught you… the silence catches your attention.
It breaks the pattern in their speech.
Power Pauses also have a place in conversations AFTER the other person says something flirty
or direct.
It’s YOUR way of testing their frame and seeing how firm they are in what they just
said, whether it’s inviting you back to her place or giving you a flirty tease.
Sometimes it’ll even result in them continuing to talk and investing more and trying to carry
the conversation.
Instead of you rushing to fill the silence to avoid awkwardness they’ll start to do
it - or better yet, they’ll pause as well and you guys can feel comfortable with the
silence and sexual tension... a huge step for getting closer to intimacy.
And that my friends is a wrap.
You’ve now been granted this piece from Mt. Olympus, use it responsibly, never for
evil.
I recommend utilizing the power pause in all your interactions any time you want to emphasize
a point, establish your frame, and stand firm in your conviction.
However, due to recent events going on in the world, it looks like you’ll have to
stick to using the power pause from the comfort of your own home haha.
Whether on FaceTime with girls you meet from Tinder, or when trying to emphasize a point
with your parents while stuck at home.
These are truly crazy times.
The whole world is changing and dating is changing even faster… but the craziest thing
is that dating isn’t on the decline… in fact but some stats dating is experiencing
a massive boost.
I mean, just look at this message Tinder sent me a few days ago.
Engagement is up in the areas most affected by the crisis… people and more importantly,
girls are chatting on apps like Tinder for longer than usual, even in the places that
are the hardest hit.
Now is the time to not only stay safe by abstaining from regular dating at bars and clubs, but
to keep your romantic life connected via online dating.
Romantic connection is an important part of being human, and although it must undergo
a change for the greater good, you don’t need to cut it out of your life entirely.
You just need to learn how to evolve and adapt with the times because quite frankly, the
guys who don’t learn to adapt to the new dating scene aren’t going to have a chance
when all this blows over.
It’s more important than ever for you to master the ability to capture girls’ attention
via text message and build attraction.
So that when all this is over, and the good times start to roll again, you can have a
calendar full with dates with amazing girls ready to go.
For most guys, building attraction from the most beautiful girls is hard enough in person…
and even harder when you’re trying to do it behind a screen.
If you’re anything like the average guy, you probably can’t even get a response from
the girl you like.
That’s why me and my team spent over a year creating my flagship texting course, The Godly
Texting Guide.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn inside:
the types of text messages you can send to make hot girls chase and text YOU first
My 100 Best Opening Lines that are guaranteed to make girls respond to YOU, you can literally
copy/paste these lines and start making girls like you, immediately
The Magnifying Method: how to effortlessly flirt with women over text and keep the conversation

And since my course is all about texting, you’ll be able to use the techniques on
any dating app, as long as you have a keyboard and a girl to talk to, you’ll have everything
you need to be successful with beautiful women.
It’s important to change with the times and learn how to be successful at dating during
this new era we’re living through.
Now you can be responsible by staying home and avoiding conventional dating, while also
getting ahead of the competition and mastering messaging girls online.
Once this is all over and the world returns to normal, online dating will be bigger than
ever… use this time to not only practice it, but master it…
Stay safe out there my friends!
Zeus out!
