Use Quotes
The unconscious thinks in terms of structure and significance, making connections that our waking minds are unable to replicate. When we read or hear something, we comprehend only its content and, especially with the male inclination to vivisect meaning purely through brute logic, ignore most of the ways our unconscious interprets the same data. This is where the power of quotes lie.
The idea came to me first within the realm of writing. Often time’s writers will quote another source to give their own ideas more depth. If you quote Sun Tzu, you capture not only the content of his quote, but the entire “aura” of his work. If you quote Tyler Durden, you capture not only the ostensible meaning of his words, but all the connotations of Fightclub. In movies they do it all the time. Contemporary business movies will quote Wall Street, legal dramas will quote Socrates, and love stories will quote Shakespeare.
I imagine guys do it all the time among themselves. I find myself often quoting The God Father or Scarface when hanging out with friends, but the impact is so much more pronounced with girls. Their capacity to cognize the deeper meanings of statements is so much greater than that of a guy, and the impression made on them is so much more permanent. It’s almost moveiesque, and gives off that perfect-romantic-fantasy-vibe they yearn so ambitiously.
They don’t have to be long and convoluted quotes, just simple ones stated casually. You don’t want to over do it and give off a try-hard vibe, nor do you want to look like you speak only in lyrics and sit at home memorizing lines to repeat in rote dictation. For instance:
Girlfriend: “Why are you working another all-nighter?”
You: “Wish I could take a break, but no rest for the wicked”
Use lines from her own favorite movies, and never point attention to them. Weave them into the fabric of your conversations.
While convoluted quotes typically don’t work well, I HAVE seen them result in doused pants. At a hookah lounge once the topic of “fire vs ice” came up (don’t ask) and someone recited the titled Robert Frost poem. The girls were charmed, at least sufficiently so that the man responsible took one of them home.
it’s interesting you should say this because i always looked back at previous girlfriends behavior on social networking sites and always noticed many of them loved/used quotes from movies, authors, music, artists etc that many times i didnt seem to think were very poignant or worthy of rememebrance but for whatever reason struck a chord with them.
I am still shocked on a daily basis when i closely observe womens behavior in my life and can notice and point out everything in this blog that they do. Thank you for not charging for your service we all owe you more then we fully realize. If i hadnt found this blog i would never have thought about buying any PUA stuff and anyway it would not have been as good as what you offer for free!

Hey Shark, I have noticed you refer many times to evolutionary psychology in many of your blog posts. Are there any authors, articles, books or documentaries that you can share that provide insight into relationships / sexual tendancies etc.
I find this stuff very interesting as you constantly focus on the 96% ape part and not the 4% human.
Thanks in advance!
dan, look into CrossFit
Dan & everyone else on here – For getting ripped (highly recommended) check out simply shredded and particularly Zyzz’s routine down the bottom of the following article. Routines are pretty straight forward, have a good diet lots of meat and vegetables, get 8 hours of sleep a night and train hard.

Zyzz is also a highly alpha guy, created an alter ego based on an obsession with getting his body perfect, built a huge following on youtube/facebook with his crazy antics. He grew to celebrity status in the Melbourne and Sydney clubbing/dance event scene and was widely despised by many other alphas competitors and betas. He sadly passed away and made the national news in Australia, doesn’t get much more alpha than this guy.
Hey Shark, I just wanted to share my experience. After reading your comments article, I realized that a lot of people reading your blog are coming here from relationship troubles. Not all relationships can be saved, however what you write is the truth of what a true male should act like. Many individuals fall into a trap of acting feminine in order to “win back” their ex-girlfriends because that is what media messages has taught them. However that is not true at all.
Women do not want to be with other women–they want men. Almost a year ago you wrote about this and I took your advice. Your knowledge and intuition gave me the means of telling an (8) no after a breakup, and moving on with my own life. You are an inspiration to many, and to some a lantern in the darkness. I’m sure that everyone here appreciates what you write, and as one of your reader I thank you for your blog.
