Cajun is coming to Vancouver!
Good news! Cajun is coming out to Vancouver next weekend (Aug 29-31), to help me with my Vancouver bootcamp (sign up here).
It’s always an awesome time when Cajun comes out. Here’s a good story from earlier this year.
When Cajun came out to Vancouver this winter, we decided we were going to go skiing. Since neither of us had the proper equipment, that was going to be a problem.
If you’ve ever been skiing at Grouse Mountain (just outside Vancouver), you’ll know that it’s a yuppie rich-kid fashion show most of the time, and everybody’s dressed in their designer ski wear. Anyway, we decided we weren’t playing that game (we didn’t have the money), and the Grouse mountain yuppies could stuff themselves.
Wearing our Sally-Anne ski gear
So we decided to go to the Salvation Army, buy $10 worth of warm clothing each, and head out to the ski hill. Derek was wearing a leather jacket, and I had a wife-beater, some cop-glasses from 1978, designer jeans and a soviet-union sweater. My gloves were hand-knit, the kind that chuchgoing grandmas make for the Salvation Army. I guess you could say it was a kind of peacocking 
I have to confess - I know now there is a reason why that top-end ski equipment is a lot more expensive than the Salvation Army. After a few hours, and a few wipe-outs, my ass was literally freezing to the chairlift seat. Now I know why people don’t wear jeans skiing. But all in all, for $10, I think our ski equipment was a much better value, and I wouldn’t trade that experience for nothing.
And most importantly, you should have seen the reaction we got from the girls at the Chalet. We got approached several times, though weirdly, we got asked twice “are you guys australian”. Anyway, we were two rebels, without a cause, crashing some yuppie ski hill. Good times.
A rebel without a cause, sent to shake up your lame-o ski hill.
Cajun and I will be teaching a Lovesystems Bootcamp the weekend of Aug 29-31 in Vancouver. Sign up here , or check out www.lovesystems.com for more information.
Also, Check Cajun on Keys to the Vip right here!
And check my reviews!
And finally - you can talk about this story on the Vancouver dating and pickup forums.

Apparently I have a semi-regular column in FHM online now. Next step - get them them to give me more than a few paragraphs maximum length so I can get in detail about these issues. In any case, it's a fun article, and I love FHM, so check it out here:

Interviewed by (of all things) right-wing news
No, Love Systems doesn't have any particular political affiliation. But when an agency called Right-wing news came calling and asking for an interview, it seemed harmless enough. They interviewed me and a couple of other guys and you can read it all here:

New Opener - Tenmagnet’s Retard Opener
This is an opener I’ve been using here and there, mostly because it’s hilarious. I’m probably going to hell for putting this on the internet, but whatever. Retards are funny.
This opener actually works REALLY well about a third of the time, not so well another third of the time, and a third of the time the girls get REALLY pissed off and hate your guts. Generally speaking, fun, laid back women will find this hilarious, and the ones that get pissed off were pretty uptight anyways. Anyways, be warned, this is an advanced technique and I don’t recommend it to everyone.
Cajun actually uses this opener in the Keys to the Vip episode, where he has to insult the girls and recover within three minutes. He actually opens with “You guys look like a bunch of retards”. In the broadcast “retard” is actually bleeped out, and they cut out the body of the opener, but you can recognize it if you watch it. (Cajun’s video - Skip to 3:28)
I guess this makes this opener BANNED FROM TELEVISION!!! (Shock! Gasp!)
So, here we go
“Hey guys! Do you think that retards are funny?”
<watch their reactions… this is a good routine for learning calibration… some girls will love you right away just for asking this, some girls will be disgusted… try and adjust your performance based on that>
Ok.. so I was in the elevator this afternoon back at my hotel, and there was this little retarded kid, like with a helmet and everything. And he totally said the MOST RETARDED THING!
He says (say this in a retarded voice) “I taught if I was good, I would get some puuuding!”
At this point, about two thirds of the sets will think you’re a jerk, or will feel kind of awkward. This line that comes next is REALLY important to winning over those awkward sets… it suddenly makes the rudeness of the opener OK, and gives the girls permission to laugh. It removes the “meanness” from the opener.
And I started to laugh, but tried to hide it, and I looked at the mother… and she just started laughing at her kid!
I mean, think about it… if you had retarded kids, you’d probably have to laugh at them too.
And change the subject
———————–
Anyway, I have to give credit here to Future (retired Lovesystems Instructor), who had the “Retarded Kid” story that I stole most of this opener from.
The Don is working on his new edition of the Lovesystems Routine manual, which should be out soon. It will include this opener and TONNES of other ones, so check that our for sure.

What up!
So last night Mr M, Vercetti and I hit Mahiki night club in Mayfair - popular with the Princes' and people like Paris Hilton, Kate Moss etc. High end club game like this is where I thrive so I was super excited to get in and start causing some trouble!
Standard Mr M; he was late, so V and I were the first to arrive. Braddock says to treat every venue like its 'your house', be comfortable with your surroundings and dont be phased. Both V and I have a lot of high end club game experience and so we both stolled into the club, completely at ease, and head straight to the bar. We're both in suits and looking sharp.
We chat to a few people just to vibe and get into the grove when Mr M arrives with his date, a smoking hot stripper he met at Torture Garden who is out with a load of her friends for a birthday. V and I do the SCM thang, greeting all the girls, just generally vibing and being the party.
As the night progresses, I identify my target; a smokin hot half chinese/half canadian financeer (HBCanadiasian)- Im not normally feeling the whole Chinese girl vibe, but this girl was super intelligent and for me, thats so fucking sexy. Running standard game on her; flirting, kino, escalation, sexual tension, push/pull...
Mr M tells the birthday girl Im a magician and she asks if I can show her something amazing as its her birthday - so I make her ring float out of her hand.
10 girls all squealing and smiling and amazed is social proof like no other, and HBCanadiasian's attraction skyrockets, so I isolate, and you can imagine the rest.
Lovely.
Now. The point of this post is something V's target was talking to me about.
We were talking about the kind of celebrities and smoking hot girls etc that frequent these venues when she says:
"When we saw you and V walk into the club, so many girls were watching you walk in, we thought you were WAY out of our league. We thought you were too hot, too comfortable; you both have this incredible aura about you. But now we've got to know you, I love how friendly and down to earth you guys are, Im glad we could meet you guys"
This is TGO, except *WE* were the 10's!
Afterwards V text me: "Its so much better to be the unapproachable 10 that comes down to their level, than to be the chump that gets looked down upon"
Nail. Head.
*BE* the 10, have the abundance mentality, you'll be pleasantly surprised how well girls will open up to you!

Debate: Tenmagnet v. Advice Dog
First of all, I would like to thank Advice Dog for agreeing to this debate today.
I completely disagree. A lot of guys say that you should “call a woman out” or something when they flake* on you - I say that’s BS.
Flakes happen - it’s normal. The plans you make on a Friday night, or a few days in advance are NOT SERIOUS PLANS. You look like a douchebag if you take them seriously. Cool, busy people treat social plans like “options” - like just something you COULD do that night, if things work out, and they always have backup plans.
A lot of women will flake on a particular set of plans once, maybe even twice, but if you have good phone game, built decent attraction when you first met, and don’t make a flake into a big deal, the majority will meet up in the end. On the other hand, if you start using guilt, or whining about getting flaked on, you’re TOAST. She’s going to stop answering the phone.
Listen, I agree that improving your love-life is a really important goal. But like many things in life, trying harder doesn’t necessarily get you more results.
A guy whose life revolves around women is the kind of guy that women don’t want to be with. You need to make sure you keep balance in your life, and focus on the things in your life that make your life attractive and interesting to women. In the long run, having an interesting life does more for your game than anything you can read in a book.
Advice dog is the author of “Picking up Bitches”. If you think this is the dumbest blog post you’ve ever read, please flame me in the comments section below.
*By flake, I mean a last minute cancellation or change of plans. Getting “stood up” is not flaking - you have every right to be pissed off when you get stood up.

Some crappy news on the personal front. I'm probably going to take a break from blogging for a bit. This won't affect the LSi or any upcoming programs - the show must go on and all that - but in the meantime, send me a virtual shot or a hard liquor of your choice. Always the best therapy.
I'll be back...

Concours pour Mantalk.ca
Attention: For you guys who don’t know what’s going on, this is a post in French, announcing a contest to promote the French discussion boards at Mantalk.ca
Il y a un concours en vigueur sur Mantalk.ca, pour encourager la participation et la visite de nouveaux participants. Pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas déjà, Mantalk.ca est un forum spécifiquement pour des Canadiens qui veulent discuter de « pick up », de relations et bien plus dans un environnement relax et amical, tout en rencontrant des gens de différentes régions.
Les prix de ce concours sont vraiment impressionnants. Tenmagnet offre GRATUITEMENT un siège à un de ses prochains « seminar-only Lovesystems bootcamp », ET deux heures gratuites de consultation par téléphone. De plus, pour les Francophones participants sur Mantalk.ca, une consultation individuelle (one-on-one) sera offerte par Biskit. Le siège du séminaire est d’une valeur de 950$ et la consultation individuelle d’environ 1200$ !
Comment est-ce que ça fonctionne ?
Ce sera basé sur les forums locaux.
Une des raisons pour laquelle Mantalk.ca a été instauré est parce qu’il y a beaucoup de villes qui sont trop petites pour supporter leur propre « board ». Ainsi, en combinant plusieurs forums locaux, nous pouvons créer un site qui est occupé et intéressant, tout en ayant des aires privées où les gens peuvent discuter localement. Le but de Mantalk.ca est de combiner les meilleurs éléments de fastseduction.com et un forum de lair local.
Alors pour gagner le concours de Tenmagnet, le prix sera distribué *par ville*. Les villes importantes seront en courses pour le siège du séminaire et les petites villes pour la consultation téléphonique. La ville dans chaque catégorie qui aura le « board » le plus occupé jusqu’au 30 Septembre gagnera, et un utilisateur des cette ville sera choisi au hasard pour le prix.
Pour le one-on-one offert par Biskit, un post dans un des « board » Francophone sera sélectionné au hasard et l’utilisateur se méritera la consultation.
Alors ce n’est pas suffisant de seulement « poster », vous devrez regrouper vos amis, et les encourager à ce que votre ville soit la plus importante. Si votre ville n’a pas de forum écrivez-nous et elle sera mise en place.

Similar Posts:Paul Janka is a bigger creep than I thought.
I saw on another site, little plug for Paul Janka, which mentions that Gawker hates on him, and has even made “false allegations of date rape”.
I was curious, so I looked around and found this post. As of yet, I have no reason to believe anything contained in this allegation is false at all, especially considering Janka’s reply (below this quote from Janka’s accuser).
He told me that we should either have sex or I should leave. I said I would leave. I started to stand up and he pulled me backwards and pinned me against the couch. I tried to push him off me, but couldn’t. He started touching my breasts and between my legs. I told him to let me go as I tried to deflect his hands. After a few minutes he let me up. I gathered my things.
As I was putting on my shoes he came over and grabbed my face, he squeezed until it hurt and I couldn’t move my head. The he shoved his tongue in my mouth. I pushed him off, went to the door, and was trying to unlock it when he came up behind me and wrapped one arm around my arms, making them immobile, and shoved the opposite hand down my pants. He tried to fucking finger me (unsuccessfully, I fought like a dog). I told him to stop. I struggled to get free. His only response was, “You’re turned on, aren’t you.” He wouldn’t let go. I managed to grab an umbrella propped against the wall next to me. I hit him and he backed off. I rushed out the door and I heard him laugh a little and call “bye” after me.
Now, to be fair to Paul Janka, this is just an allegation, and it’s not even an allegation of date rape, but rather an allegation of extreme creepyness and sexual assault - but whatever.
But what’s double fucked up is Paul Janka’s response, which isn’t even a denial. Paul Janka says:
“I’d say going on a date under false pretenses is pretty underhanded, wouldn’t you? I’m not interested in disputing her account, tit-for-tat. Suffice it to say she’s spun it to serve her interests.”
So Paul Janka doesn’t even deny what happened. He tries, in typical full-of-shit narcissist/sociopath fashion, to paint himself as a victim. I know there is just a he-said, she-said story going on here, and there are some women out there in the world who are messed up and would make a false allegation like that, but Janka’s non-denial sets off my bullshit detectors.
Maybe I’m going off a bit half-cocked here, but seriously, the last thing the community needs right now is a narcissistic date rapist for a pickup instructor. I don’t care if he has game, or how much his Ebook pays in commissions. If those of us who are in this scene want to honestly believe that we’re a bunch of guys interested in “self improvement”, and who are doing a good thing by helping awkward guys get women, then we need to take a stand and speak up against this kind of bullshittery
