Transitioning As A Game Tactic

Responding to a post about a new game routine called the Imagination Test, commenter tteclod rightfully demurred,

Ross Jeffries has a version of this, but it still has some issues with transition. His approach is a little less awkward, but I’ve yet to read or watch video of any presentation that adequately corrected the underlying transition issues. Anchoring beforehand seems to be key, as well as physical contact and personal grounding and posture. Like so much of game, there’s a big picture and broad set of skills one must develop to avoid the creep label.

The master’s level work I’ve observed evokes remembrance of previous sexual sensations, e.g.: “Have you ever felt a drop of sweat roll down your chest?” and similar remarks. Another easy line is, “Mmm, salty,” with lip licking.

I’m of two minds about transitioning (for example, from a zippy opener to a sexual or conversational vibe). A good transition is a valuable game skill to have, because I have seen men all too often awkwardly broach topics that landed with a thud into social groups (although this happens less often one-on-one). A smooth segue would’ve helped them.

Contrarily, I have also seen “naturals” — men who have a preternatural grasp of social dynamics and how to exploit them — jump from one topic to another without any notable transition to speak of. They simply state with conviction what it is that’s on their minds, and people, especially girls, tend to jump aboard to follow their conversational threads.

As tteclod implied, a lot of what a pickup artist might call “transitioning” is really nonverbal cues that prime a girl to accept the seducer’s verbal tempo. If you have been touching her arm and leg, and slowing your vocal cadence, it won’t feel awkward to transition from asexual neutral chatter to sexualized innuendo.

Ross Jeffries is an advocate of neurolinguistic programming (NLP), which is the science (some would say pseudoscience) of embedding commands and evoking feelings in the listener that are transferred to the speaker, through the use of deceptive language tricks and anchoring. NLP, by its “out there” nature, is particularly susceptible to transitioning miscues, as the types of baiting questions that NLP involves would sound undeniably weird on the ears of a woman you just met.

But for the average man who isn’t running NLP game, transitioning from one mode of discourse, or one topic, to another isn’t difficult. If there was ever a time to be direct, transitioning is it. The answer is to PLOW. Just move from one thought bubble to the next, and if you catch grief from the girl, agree with her like it’s no big deal.

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “This song is listenable, but not danceable.”
GIRL: “That’s out of the blue/weird/random.”
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Yeah well, that’s me.”

Think of transitioning as basically “re-opening” the girl over and over. You never stop opening a girl until she’s opened herself to you. Yes there’s a chance — a good one if you’re a socially inept nerd — that your chosen topic will be uninteresting to the girl. If that’s happening, stop, and change the subject. The key is to act like you aren’t put-off or butthurt by her lack of interest; that this is just the normal course of events taking shape. Remember, above all else, overconfidence is the heart of game. If you don’t feel awkward, she won’t.

The other technique, besides plowing, is to verbalize your transitions as if you were narrating events as they unfolded. This is the “ironically self-aware” school of seduction. For instance,

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Well it looks like we’ve reached the point where that story is played out.”
GIRL: [whatever]
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “This is the part where you’re supposed to sit awkwardly while waiting for me to think of another interesting topic.”

Actively uncool “goofball game” can work very well, but it requires a degree of state control and self-assurance that is hard to find in the wild except amongst men who already have their fill of pussy.

A third technique is the one mentioned in the Imagination Test post; you ask a leading question that serves as the springboard into a new, and hopefully more intimate, conversation.

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “You seem like the kind of girl who’s open to new experiences.”
GIRL: “Oh really!”
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Not that kind of experience. Get your mind out of the gutter. I mean, do you want to learn something about yourself? Check this out… [run routine]”

The point of transitioning is that, as the man, you will have to accept that leading a woman to your desired destination is part of your duty as the proactive sex. Most women won’t make it easy for you, because most women secretly yearn for a man who demands from them some measure of submission.
