 So next up we've got another instructor from daygame.com, John Matrix. He's an executive instructor. I think he's got an awesome video for us. I'm looking forward to that. He's known for his chilled style and he's taught daygame in London, New York and Oslo. So let's welcome John to the stage. Thank you. Hi guys. I am John Matrix. I work for daygame.com alongside Tom Torreiro. And I want to start today by saying that what I'm going to tell you today is probably going to be a bit controversial because I'm going to tell you that a lot of the stuff that you've heard and a lot of these videos that you've seen on YouTube of guys approaching girls during the day, a lot of that is flat out wrong. And you know, you're probably thinking, well, why should I listen to this guy? What does he know? So I'm going to tell you a little bit about my story. Tell you about my style. And then I'm going to explain why this is the case. And then a little bit later on, I'm going to show you one of my videos so that you can see what I'm talking about and see it in action. So who is John Matrix? Well, you know, you probably look at me and you think, okay, decent looking guy was probably always really, really good with women. But that just wasn't the case. You know, looks, it helps to be good looking. But if you don't have any confidence, you don't know how to talk to women, it doesn't make a bit of difference at all. So I went through most of my life. The first 29 years of my life, I'm 31 now, the first 29 years of my life with basically very sparse, a very sparse sort of sex life. You know, I saw a couple of girls when I was in my teens, a couple in my 20s, but I'd never, ever approached a girl in my life. Never. And I mean, day game wasn't even something that I thought was possible. So for me, to meet a girl, it would have to be in a, you know, in a bar or club. There wasn't any other, any other way to do it. I was very socially awkward, just uncomfortable generally. Anytime I was around women, I'd just close up, you know, I'd go out with my friends to a club. And I'd stand there the whole night with my arms folded, with a scowl on my face. And then I'd wonder why I go home alone. And I couldn't, I couldn't get my head around it. And it's just like, I don't understand why don't girls like me? Just didn't make sense. And then as I started to get into this stuff, I realized that women don't think like men at all when it comes to attraction. You know, as a man, you see a really hot, a hot girl, you're immediately attracted to her. And you, you know, you're going to want to have sex with her, basically no matter what, she'd have to be a pretty horrible person for you to not want to have sex with her. And even then, if she's a 10, you know, but with women, it's completely different. Their attraction to you is based mostly on your personality, your charm, your charisma. You can go up to a girl and to begin with, she's not that attracted to you. And then by the way that you behave and by your personality and your aura, your charisma, you can make her very, very attracted to you very quickly. And that's why we're lucky as men because we can become more attractive to women when it's not at all based on our looks. Women aren't so lucky, unfortunately, you know. And for them, once the signs of fertility are gone as they get older, they lose their attractiveness. As men, we get more attractive as we get older. So now I'm going to talk a little bit about my style of pickup and where I got it from and how it came about. So with Daygame, I found out about it through a friend. He showed me a couple of videos, explained what it was about. He took me out into the streets and I actually remember the first time I went out, it took me 45 minutes to do my first approach. I was that nervous, I was that scared. But I said to myself, I can do this. I've just got to put the time, put the effort in and I'm a very motivated person when it's something I really want. So this was something that I'd really, really wanted my whole life and I'd never had it. So I thought, right, let's just do this. Let's just put the effort in, put the time in and we'll see what happens. And then I met with Yad. I did some training with Yad. I incorporated a lot of his ideas and a lot of his style. So to begin with, it was almost like I was copying him. But then eventually what happens is you develop your own style. So now maybe I still have, there's a couple of things I kind of do like Yad, but it's changed. The rest of it has changed into my style. And I feel like I've come up with a style that suits me perfectly and I think it's one of the most effective styles that you can have. Now, a lot of guys, when they watch, if they were to watch a video of me, I don't know on YouTube or whatever, the first thing they're going to say is like, wow, this is really boring. Where's the attraction? What's going on? Why isn't she laughing? Why isn't he spinning around? Where's all the jokes? But what somebody like that, when they're saying those things, what they're missing is the subtleties of what makes a good pickup. It's got to be natural. That's the key to it. You've got to show her that you're a normal guy. Definitely you need to attract her. But the moment she thinks you're trying to attract her, you're going out of your way to try and make her laugh. Attraction's gone. And for me, that's really, that's what it boils down to. So when I said most of what you've been told and the videos that you've seen are wrong, what I'm saying is it's about defining what attraction is and why she's attracted. So if you think going up to a girl, making a load of crazy jokes, getting all these big laughs out of high-fiving, spinning around, if you think, wow, great, she's attracted, then fine. But do you think she's going to want to go on a date with you? Do you think she's going to answer a text? And it's kind of, it's like
