Everyone starts out the same..... you pick up "The Game" and you think to yourself "holy crap, I can't wait to get out and try the best friends test, I can't wait to try this opinion openers" and then when you get out in field and try this stuff out for yourself it doesn't go quite as smoothly as originally anticipated but nonetheless you still find yourself making some progress, getting a kiss/two, and a phone # here and there, the results may not be consistent but at least they're better than they were beforehand.

Now comes the second phase, you're sick of getting spotty results and more importantly, you're SICK of using canned routines and material. What happened to just "being yourself" and genuinely enjoying the process.

So you have two main school's of thought, the canned approach and the natural approach. I'm not going to say that one's better than the other and both methods have gurus to back them.

Canned - Mystery, Cajun, etc

Natural - David D, David Wygant, etc

 Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the natural approach, because while I do appreciate pick up as an artform, I also have a life and when Friday rolls around, the last thing I want to do is give yet ANOTHER performance. I just want to unwind, and have some fun.

In developing my "natural" game, the two guys that I would attribute a lot of my inspiration towards would be Gareth Jones, one of our certified coaches, and also Joe D. from Season 1. Both of these guys are just naturally witty and very fun to be around. Nothing they say is premeditated, they're GENUINELY being themselves and enjoying it and their personalities are naturally attractive?

So how do we get to this point? Although it isn't an ABC's product, I do strongly recommend reading "Double Your Dating" by David D, learning to be charming/charistmatic, witty, enthusiastic isn't something you develop overnight and until you've become Dale Carnagie yourself, there's no reason you should stop working upwards.

Where's a good place to start? One important concept is to find a character to mimic. You can waste a lot of time memorizing lines or specific jokes, but it isn't the joke itself, but rather, the character to which the joke is associated to. It's as simple as finding a celebrity, stand up comedian, or character that you like and can see yourself personifying. For me, I really enjoy Louis C.K and find The Colbert Report absolutely hilarious. I may not be good at being inventive or creating my own stuff but I do pride myself in my ability to jack other people's work and make it my own. Why reinvent the wheel? Just take it and use it for yourself. I figure if these guys can make millions laugh, I can re-adapt their content to my own life and all I have to do is impress a 3 set tops. 

Try that on for size............... and see out in field.
