Meetings With Masters - Zan

[noobler9]

this video was suggested to me, and heh, after 3:00+ it really hits, lol, all the happy couples I've met, follow this sort of thing, a little, to a lot, it's different from person to person but the general concept is right

[BrandonHanFilms]

yeah, I heard some lines from fight club in there too..

[BjjerN]

ZAN is one of- the very best.

[multikool]

He's right about HONESTY,they respect that.

[Ferankrum]

the bible also contains instructions on how to keep slaves and murder unbelievers :D

[billbasher2]

I need directions? I don't know, I have my goals, I look up to several people, but I don't think that I need instructions.

[jaycalvnatn]

Project mayhem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[28jul1821]

Amen Fellow Stud

[28jul1821]

two thumbs up!!

[bokiboy]

Zan is one of the best . I enjoy listening to him and David D, very knowledgeable and most important RESPECTFUL to women, his words are not PUA words but more the words of a philosoher. for me the greatest PUA is the one that you could see your sister dating. I enjoy listening to you Zan.

[TubeFreakJonas]

"What about our fathers? Who instructed them - and how good was that instruction?

Extremely poor, as the whole world knows."

Might depend how many generations you look back. If you look at original 'Alpha' cultures in today's far east, in South America - people are living in their more natural sexuality, and instinctively learn and pass on how to BE men and women.

We don't KNOW this in the Great West - we've LOST it - we cannot speak of it as 'bad' instruction. It's natural identity.

[thestash16]

I bet zan here doesnt even realize that the ideas and principles he talks about, are addressed AND answered in the bible. The bible talks all about role models, and who exactly we should look to as a role model..

[cpan2020]

Yes its true! Women want men of purpose!

[janspang]

The "first generation of uninstructed men?"

I was born in 1971.

What about our fathers? Who instructed them - and how good was that instruction?

Extremely poor, as the whole world knows.

Now they're making money from selling nuclear weapons to eachother...

So the question is: Would you rather be uninstructed - or MIS-instructed?

We're the luckiest generation ever. We are the first generation that has the chance to instruct itself.

Thank you, Zan.

[w0olly]

What is this "Meetings With Masters"? I am really interested. Thanks!

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

Meetings with Masters was a monthly meeting held in SF. Temporarily postponed. Go to thesanfranciscolair(dot)com if you want more info

[w0olly]

Thanks for the response Daniel. I looked at the site for more information, seemed pretty cool. I saw a video recorder on one of the pictures. Do you know if there was more recorded from Zan's speech than these five minutes? Big up for uploading this! ^^

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

There was more recorded, but there are no plans to release it. :(

[onp0inte]

There is a hell of a lot of truth in that five minutes..

[zeagle07]

these guys get more in a week then you do in a year

[kennybenny]

women want men of passion, purpose and gravity. basically we got into the game only to find out that the best way to improve ourselves is to get out of the game. the less u want women the more they actually come because you're no longer needy of them. how ironic.

[Rebel2010]

Andybaby, physical looks do give an advantage when it comes to women. However, women are more attracted to an average looking alpha male than a good-looking wussie. Don't believe me? If so, you probably don't get out much and shouldn't be giving your uninformed opinion over the internet as fact.

[rynigma8]

your right, but good looking guys arnt necessarily wussie, ppl do assume that is so because they have looks.ex: Oscar de la hoya is a pretty boy and is one of the best boxers in the world.

[jestes7]

Very true!

[anilomd]

You speak the truth.

[tyghr]

Women and men are absolutely equal. Any human is equal to the other. Each side cannot survive, in any sense of the word, without the other half. We are meant to find our other half and say, through verbal and nonverbal channels, "I have something here to say to you, and here it is." To say that with no hesitation or dishonesty is what, I believe, we are all trying to learn.

[rza139]

"We are the first generation of uninstructed men"..."Men of purpose is what we are missing. Men of passion!"...Amen!

[MauriceFlower]

"Gravity" and "Purpose". Beautiful final words. Good ending.

[Shadowsadist]

Just because you don't have to dress in a corsette that doesn't mean you're androgynous, speaking of which, remember life seeks balance and while we shouldn't ignore gender we shouldn't become too wrapped up in gender roles.

[Shadowsadist]

So to be men women can't be equal? If not you should explain that. Nowadays they try to get women in bed because in the past they didn't have to, they had more power. Women are better off psychologically to raise children, they'll be fine. When they don't respect the mother and let all that media crap get to them then that gives you today.

[TonySoprano55]

Freaking genius, I'd definitely go to these things

[jogobonito1234]

Sameness not equality. This is what we got. True enough Zan! "We miss real men" - women say. Right.

[BlackFinanceTV]

this guy is right on the ball.

[solution777]

If you ever get the chance to see Zan in interview or seminar, jump at the chance. He has so much integrity that it changes the view of how PUA's are percieved. Just a straight forward good guy and very respected in the community.

[Andybaby]

Great looking guys can get away with being straight forward, and 'being themselves'. Women give guys like this an easier time, because their looks give them instant attraction / value.

If looks don't matter, then where are the short, ugly, old, bald or for that matter non-white PUAs?

[danielmunromusic]

98% of the time looks don't matter and an average looking, well-groomed/dressed alpha-male trumps a good looking wussy idiot. Style(Neil Strauss) is short, not-good-looking, bald, he has a high, fast voice and I'd call him the best PUA, or damn close. 'nuff said.

[Bigimac]

A woman's attraction switch is 80% survival and only 20% replication...

in other words your looks matter 20% but even if your ugly you can get some of the percentage by dressing good and having good hygene

the rest of it is survival which is your "man" side...

and men usually are attracted to 80% replication and 20% survival in a women...

i hope that helped^^

[don7frye]

Well ... survival value means also being :tall, strong and dark. I've heared this phrase a 100 times :"tall, dark and handsome". And it is evolutionary because being tall and strong was of high importance back when the society was made by the law of the sord. So sexually speaking women are atracted to that. We are attracted to the oposite : blonde, voluptious, weaker. Because we need to protect and they need to be protected.

[AwakenAnimus]

tall dark handsome is still relevant today regardless of how the society is run. and society around the world is STILL run in many places by the "law of the sword" - whatever that phrase means to you. dont think ur so civilized just cuz u dont know whats happening in the rest of the world...and why just blonde? there are other races too idiot.

[28jul1821]

im more fond of brunettes myself ill take a hot brunette over a hot blonde anyday

[luu69]

Allright, you get the brunettes i get the blondes and everybody is happy :-)

[newton2060]

I agree. Although, didn't Neil Strauss in the Game describe a pickup artist with warts on his face that was successful with women?

[Kevart1208]

Non-white? What does color have to do with being a PUA? In The Game Neil talks about a skilled PUA thats Asian.

[amjPeace]

Yep, women do sit down to pee, that's true. We don't have to aim, and yet we never miss. Get over it LOL. Seriously...Both genders are suffering from a lack of models, so let's stop the cycle and get out there and be models for the next generation. And "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie."

[kezkezkez]

And I take it you shit with your mouth?

[easeofdisease]

he is the model some are looking for, and you get mad at him?

[metalhaze1982]

guys who plays the music i gotta get it's addictive! hehe

"you can call me any time you please"

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

band is Boyfriend Girlfriend

Song is Mr Niceguy

Their website is

boyfriendgirlfriend(dot)co(dot­)uk

one of the musicians is pickup101 instructor Eric

[DavidMausolf]

This guy is copying Fight Club "we are a generation of men raised by women". Come on Zan!

[toyu17]

seal have status.seal have dated many models like tyra banks and others so he have social proof from beautiful girls and his tall. you guys know nothing about the game.i'm starting you guys know nothing about women.

[RePENT22]

Wow this is puuuure Fight Club haha. Good stuff though.

[79xd79]

Part 2: Nevertheless, good looks are only that: good looks. They only 'ease' the initial approach. They don't do anything beyond (and I've learned this the hard way back when I didn't know better). If you don't have the goods to back up appearance, you won't get anything beyond the first few seconds of superficial interest a girl shows for you.

[mustard29]

I believe men put more emphasis on looks than women do, have you noticed the boy friends of beautiful super models? Are they male models, no.They are men with power such as CEOs, if we were in Medieval times they would have been kings.

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

Absoloutely. Have you seen Seal in the Gap ads? That's an ugly dude.

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

It's funny though, talking about whether looks matter. That has nothing to do with this video. He's talking about something universal between ALL men.

[SliqueMeister]

And let's not forget he's married to Heidi Klum!

[Mucalytic]

WTF??? Heidi Klum's married to Seal!

[79xd79]

Part 1: I'm about as good looking as him or more and I find that I get a lot of good attention without making an effort. Hell, just yesterday I got a phone number without asking.

[SyNinja]

whats the song at the beginning?

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

band is Boyfriend Girlfriend

Song is Mr Niceguy

Their website is boyfriendgirlfriend dot co dot uk

one of the musicians is pickup101 instructor Eric

[BabyRyBoy]

wise words from Zan...

[laohunter]

body language, tonality and confidence= confidence..

[deisus]

Well, if we've taken away women's glass ceiling...why haven't we taken away their glass floor too?

"Equality" my AZZ...

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

angry?

[Andybaby]

This guy looks like a model... or a Soap star. Instant attraction. As long as he doesn't do/say anything stupid, hes in.

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

Andybaby,

How does that comment serve you?

[Andybaby]

How does denying the fact that this guy gets 'instant attraction' serve you?

To use mystery method jargon: guys this good-looking can skip over the attraction phase (the hardest one for most guys), straight to comfort!

[Venturor]

No actually MM is wrong to state that attraction is just gained in a single phase and thats it. No u have to keep generating more and more attraction - shes not gonna wanna fuk u no matter how good looking u r. And believe me i know, im better looking than zan...

Death to indirect!!

[kjbaumga]

It seems a reasonable objection.  Being reasonable serves us.

[wesscoast]

No surprise, they say the most satisfying part of Mastery is passing on knowledge to more people.

PS. Tyler Durden, we have Jack Bauer... he's a hero. ;)

[QuickHit22]

he sounds like yler durden from fight club, "We are a generation of men, raised by women"

[desscroll]

As opposed to Tyler Durden the pickup artist?

[anatole69]

This is a good choice. His idea about men have no direction or role models is one of the ideas I took from the talk, so this was a good choice.

Am I the only one who kept thinking that every time he said "Men need direction" he was about to say "Men need a new direction, rising up and growing"?

I think I have been doing this for too damn long. lol.

[Spiderusalem]

I could listen to him talk for hours

[claudiaspicnic]

The 21st century can be a challenge.

I am a woman and may not be aware of the pressure that men are under. Perhaps you could clarify some information for me:

What do you or the speaker mean by 'direction'. Are you speaking of careers? Lifestyle? Behavior? Taste in women? Relationships with women?

Do you need role models? Shouldn't you dictate those choices yourself?

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

claudiaspicnic,

thanks for visiting, and thanks for the comments!

Here's my personal answers to all your questions:

yes, absolutely.

[claudiaspicnic]

Glad to hear it. There have been many recent articles about some men (in their thirties and above) spending most of their time hiding behind blog sites these days. And then after seeing this footage, I was beginning to wonder just how dysfunctional this generation of men has become. Thanks for the reassurance.

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

I certainly hope this video inspires anyone out there to stop looking at the computer and go out and make something of their life.

-Cheers!
