Read this post, and tell me if this seems like a guy you should learn anything from, let alone one of the most important skills in the world to master:

So the question is, if Stephane is someone who reacts to a breakup in this way, should you really be trusting his opinion on much of anything? Sure, we aren’t perfect, but that is his business’s blog… Seems extremely irrational and probably a guy you would meet at a party and later would say, “Who the FUCK was that WEIRDO?” and you all would laugh at the after-party afterwords. Don’t be that guy. Please.

Don’t be alone on New Year’s Eve. First, you’re passing up a great opportunity. And second, it doesn’t really set the tone for a good 2009, does it?

Fortunately, all the odds are in your favor. Print out this guide to plan your night and take advantage of what nature is giving you.

What’s really going on with New Year’s Eve?

* People are festive and happy.
* They don’t have to work the next day.
* They want to feel close to each other.
* No one wants to be alone.
* Barriers are down.
* Alcohol is flowing.
* It’s more socially acceptable to hook up.

(The last of these is an example of when the magic phrase “it doesn’t count” comes into play. Those three words have been responsible for more sex with more beautiful women than any other I know… to add those to your arsenal check out the now-classic Soul/Savoy instant download on Female Psychology.)

Do you always have fun days? Is every day you spend fun?

When you’re hanging out with friends on a Sunday, do you have a good time?

Do you go to places you enjoy? Or do you go to places you hate, just because you think you might meet somebody – for example, standing in a bar, bored out of your mind, hands in your pockets playing pocket pool?

Remember pocket pool? It was something that all young boys used to play all the time during the age when the random boner would pop up out of nowhere.

I remember that random boner stage so well – I remember Lisa Rutman in my 9th grade Spanish class, and how I got a D one semester because I sat next to Lisa Rutman and just stared at those perky breasts the entire semester.

This is the second part of a conversation we had at a recent bootcamp about window-shopping in life and challenging yourself. This is a great example of the types of things we work on during weekend bootcamps!

Howie: Here is another thing I realized: after I almost lost my life I discovered that while I was not really afraid of death, I was terrified of that last minute just before I died. In that moment, I had to run through my head all of the things I had desired in my life. Had I even attempted to achieve some of my desires?

What terrified me was that if I were to ask myself that question right then, I couldn’t live with the answer. I had put off everything that I had wanted to do, and it was such bullshit!

Tynan (Herbal) appeared on NBC affiliate KXAN in Austin over the weekend. Cool, short segment for him! You can download Make Her Chase You here.

In the last week, two more prime-time scripted television shows ripped off The Game and Mystery’s techniques. And of course perverted the message of the whole thing.

For those who haven’t been keeping score, last year, CSI Miami aired an episode about pickup artists with rival workshops, an undercover reporter infiltrating them, and murderous results.

Then there was Twins (the Sara Gilbert show), in which Gilbert’s nerdy high school friend returns transformed after having written a book about picking up women using techniques like negs.

And on a recent Ugly Betty episode, she interviews the writer of a book called Tap That: How to Score With Hot Bitches, which advocates the A.S.S. approach to meeting women (Approach, Subdue, Score).
