6 Steps to Ninja Calibration

Posted at October 2, 2008

Back in May, 2008 I ran a “Blog Improvement Survey” to which 121 PUAs responded. At the very end of the survey I asked a simple question:

What’s your single most important question regarding success with women?
I’ll be going through and answering most of those questions in the next few months.

Question: A 31 year old, Network Developer from Maryland asked:

What’s the easiest way to calibrate and recognize when that calibration needs tweaking?

Answer:

Ok, calibration is a useful skill because it allows you to baby-step. In every Pick-up you are trying to increase her Response Potential whie simultaneously avoiding Snap Back. If you pump her state too high she will hit a threshold where she tries to downregulate her BT. (Sounds like we’re working on a jet engine or something.)

Calibration will allow you to notice when these things are happening thereby adding it into your unconscious so in the future you can do the right thing without thinking about it.

Calibration can also help you know when you are DONE and you don’t need to actively Game anymore. You can just chill with her and wait for the right time to pull.

But, the question you really need to ask is: “What am I really in this for?” — If you just want a girlfriend or a little more active dating life then I’d forego Calibration drills because the dividends come after months and months of working at it.

If you want to become REAL good at pick-up then here are 6 Ways to Ninja Calibration:

1. You need a Game Plan. You can’t calibrate what you’re not measuring. A Game Plan (or Routine Stack) will provide more consistency to your Game so you can start noticing patterns. Calibration is DERIVED from noticing patterns and then noticing what happens LEADING up to that pattern.

Having a Game Plan also makes writing FR/LRs much easier. People think I have an amazing memory because I can write such detailed FR/LRs… The reason I can is because I run the same basic Stack over and over, so when I sit down to write all I have to do is ask myself “What did I open with?” — “What did she say?” — “What did I run next?” — so what I’m really remembering is what SHE said. The points in my stack act as RECALL triggers for my memory. (Another tactic is I usually write the FR/LR or at least some notes about it as soon as I get home when it is fresh on my mind.)

2. Use Sticking Point Analysis. If someone put a gun to my head and told me I could only write one last post to help guys with women I’d probably just create a link to Sticking Point Analysis.

3. Debrief the women you have success with. I usually only debrief girls I’ve just had sex with because female orgasms seem to be a truth serum of sorts (has something to do with Oxytocin). Standard debrief questions are:

Then I try to get them on the subject of guys hitting on them in general to see what their main complaints are…

4. Make an assumption, then verify. I used to do all sorts of fun things. I’d look at a male-female set and think, “hmm… wanna open but they’re probably together.” I caught myself and I’d say, “You don’t know that man, go in and see…” I’d roll in and chat and then ask, “How do you guys know each other?” to verify your assumption. I found out a LOT of the time that the dude was an Orbiter.

Another thing I’d do when I used to use Mystery Method was guess who would try to pull the Target away. It got to the point where I could not only guess but I could see it about a minute before hand.

A friend of mine got to see this uncanny ability of mine a few weekends ago on his way to pulling another SNL. I texted him that her friends were about to try to pull her away… not even a minute later they came over and made the pull away attempt. (Which failed because he had moved her, thus locking her in even tighter. See: Sinn’s 2 Bounce Rule.)

5. Could I let go of being so smart and allow it to be other than what I think it is? This question kicks ass. Remember, we are all trying to develop NEW ideas, beliefs, behaviors… even a new World View. Realize that your first assessment of the situation is GROUNDED in old data and interpretations that HAVE NOT served you! So, be willing to let them go and allow it to be something else.

Another similar tactic is to generate all of the possibilities and pick the most positive one.

6. Debrief other PUAs. When I help my friends out in Gaming the first question I ask when they come back from a set is “What happened?” I do this because I want to see if what I SAW from the outside MATCHES what they think happened. When I used to help Sinn with bootcamps I’d have aspiring PUAs leave a perfectly good set. I’d say, “What happened?” and they’d say, “She was being bitchy, she said she’s not really into skydiving so it fucked up my skydiving dhv story. Bitch.” Many a time I wanted to take them by their lapels and say, “DUDE! She doesn’t like skydiving! It was ON! Go back into that set now!”

Once you begin to see the mismatch between what they say is going on and the body language and dynamics of the set you’ll realize that you, too, are probably NOT seeing a lot of the positive things going on.

And, as always, if you have any other questions about this feel free to post them in the Comments section!
