CLEARING OUT THE BULLSHIT
Countless books have been written about social interaction. But none
have actually helped you fully achieve your social goals. The advice is
often
• short-sighted (change your wardrobe)
• too theoretical (“improve your vibe,” “be present”)
• too simplistic (“be confident,” “be yourself”)
• too situational (“this only works in bars/clubs”)
• flat out wrong (“make sure you pay for the first date”)
Today’s relationship and dating “experts” bombard you with
contradictory approaches to social interaction. They promise secret
formulas, exclusive techniques, and ground-breaking methods.
They fill you with false hope and shower you with false promises.

Yet, no one has been able to accurately explain the nature of social
interaction. Instead, they construct business models designed to
capitalize on your social incompetence. These companies have a
vested interest in keeping you dependent on their never-ending
parade of “new and improved” products.
Gurus claiming to teach you social skills usually package a bunch of
gimmicks into a DVD with catchy titles like Seduction Secrets and
Instant Sexual Charisma. Other experts offer worthless, feel-good
advice epitomized by titles like How to Win Friends and Influence
People and I’m OK, You’re OK. The vast majority focus on superficial
outward changes. By over-emphasizing the importance of wardrobe,
social status, diet, income and lifestyle, these professional marketers
hook you into buying an endless parade of products directed at your
emotions. After all, it’s much more profitable to just sell you fish than
to actually teach you how to catch them yourself.
Social interaction businesses don’t want to tell you the truth: their
expensive 3-day weekend retreats and thousand-dollar seminars
won’t provide long term results; you didn’t become a social hermit
overnight. It took years of bad social conditioning. Thinking you’re
going to cure that overnight is delusional.
To protect yourself from social snake oil salesmen, you must
remember one important fact: social competence isn’t found in a
genie bottle. Developing any skill requires time and effort. This entails
10
much repetition. Social competence comes from consistency of
application, not simply learning a better way of doing things.
If you’re looking to make an overnight change, you’re only fooling
yourself. Quick fixes appeal to an immature urge to avoid the pain
of self-discipline. Band-aid solutions are much more tempting than
following a principled approach to social interaction.
Addressing your poor social skills
requires more than just changing
your wardrobe or learning how to
say ‘cool’ things. Before you can
develop a practical view of social
interaction, your own delusional
perspective must be exposed. Thus, it’s necessary to examine the
natural laws that govern all social interactions.
PART I: IDENTIFYING THE
PROBLEM
THE NEUROTIC MIND
SOME SYMPTOMS
Have you ever felt nervous? Sweaty
palms. Constantly clearing your
throat. Making awkward eye contact.
Tight shoulders. Hands stuffed in
your pockets and arms crossed.
Want to know what you look like?
Surprisingly—even though a hundred
emotions may rage inside you—your
face remains blank. Every thought
and emotion is subdued and filtered
as you constantly fight to conceal
your emotions.
For example, a coworker may tell a hilarious joke, causing you to
inadvertently break into a smile. But because you’re terrified of
offending others, you quickly recompose your
face to hide this naked emotion. Trying to open
up to strangers feels like stretching a rubber
band; sooner or later your anxious thoughts drive
