The On/Off Mistake
The majority of men who decide to get in shape and beef up their muscles a bit fail because they make the on/off mistake. Most people who try to learn a second language usually fail to learn it as well as they’d originally planned to because they make the on/off mistake. And most men who try to systematically apply attraction and seduction techniques to their interactions with women in the hope of dating them fail because, you guessed it, they make the on/off mistake. So, after all that, what the hell is it?
The on/off mistake is when a person wants to achieve something, so they commit themselves in some way to achieving it, but then they STOP trying for some reason. They don’t just try a little less hard…they actually stop. So, a guy works out twice a week for a month, then looks in the mirror, gets disheartened at the lack of results and so stops working out. A person starts listening to audio books to learn a new language, sticks at it for 2 weeks, then feels they can barely remember anything they’ve learned, so stops learning. And a guy starts applying some techniques he’s learned for building sexual chemistry between him and the woman, he does it a few times for a week or so, then he slips back into his old ways: he stops trying. All of these people start in the OFF mode, then they start trying to do whatever it is they want to succeed in doing and go into ON mode, then they stop for some reason and slip back to OFF mode. It’s a binary situation—there’s very little middle ground. A guy might work out religiously for two months, then slowly work out less and less frequently for a couple of weeks before stopping entirely (and thereby going back to OFF mode), but it’s pretty safe to say that, as with everyone else, we went from ON to OFF. Simple as that.
So, let’s now focus only on you and your goal of attracting and beginning to date women.
Even before you started to learn about the real science behind conscious attraction and seduction, you probably switched between ON and OFF when it came to trying to make something happen with women. For example, a lot of guys won’t really think too much about the fact that they’re single for a while, then one night when they’re out with friends or something, they’ll suddenly go into ON mode and get the idea in the their head that they need to make something happen with a woman. So, they’ll try to achieve that. They’ll chat to a woman and attempt to flirt with her. Maybe it goes well or maybe it doesn’t. Either way, it ends without any numbers swapped or kisses given and the guy wakes up the next day in OFF mode again.
This is the kind of scenario you need to avoid being in yourself. You don’t want to be switching back and forth between not trying to make something happen with women (being in OFF mode) and making a conscious effort to create opportunities for something to happen (being in ON mode). For example, when you’re walking through the mall, you’re in OFF mode. You’re just going through the motions, doing what you need to do. You’re probably looking at girls as you pass them by, but that’s about it. You’re in OFF mode. But on a Saturday night, your ears are pricked up and you’re ready for action…ready to do some flirting if you get the chance. You’re in ON mode. You can’t live with this kind of duality. It isn’t the right way to handle the problem of navigating your way through the dating scene. Instead, you need to forget about ON and OFF and only concentrate on one thing:
You are a man who knows enough about what it takes for a man to attract a woman that he can be perpetually ready to flirt or not flirt depending on the situation he finds himself in. There is no ON or OFF, there is only yes or no. You either choose to drop in a teasing comment while talking to a woman or you don’t. You don’t go through a conversation with a woman by starting in OFF mode and ending in OFF mode. You start as yourself and you react in accordance with how you feel and how the girl is feeling. This way, you’ll never fall into the trap of failing to attract a girl because you ‘didn’t feel ready’ or ‘in the mood’ or that ‘thing’s weren’t right’. That’s the kind of stuff guys who are in OFF mode say, because they really aren’t ready or in the mood to flirt with a woman.
What mode are you in right now?
The answer, hopefully, is you aren’t in one. You’re just a fucking Zen master. You’re ready.
