How To Become A Shapeshifter

The conversation is going okay, but ten minutes in she still hasn’t asked for your name. She keeps looking over your shoulder. What message are you sending her? How is she perceiving you? Does she see you as cool or uncool, interesting or boring, sexy or strange? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Boring. She sees you as boring. Step back and tease her about her thick winter coat, like she’s preparing for a Russian winter. Ask her if she’s hiding a little midget in there.

If I suspect that a girl’s perceptions of me are not helping me get to sex, I make changes to the conversation or my body language to fall more in line with what she wants. Lots of guys call this “calibration,” where you adjust on a case-by-case basis based on the type of girl you’re talking to based on the response you’re getting. This doesn’t mean putting prettier girls on a pedestal but changing your game depending on her personality or background.

Here are a few basic examples of what I change depending on the type of girl I’m talking to:

  • Black girls – I use more cockiness and direct game
  • Hipster girls – I stress my artistic side and anti-mainstream leanings
  • Young girls – I use shorter sentences and smaller words, say “like” and “you know” more often, and qualify her relentlessly
  • Late 20s white girls – I use more SAT words while showing more obscure wit and trivia knowledge
  • Foreign girls living in America – stories that show I’m an international man of mystery
  • Asian girls – I insinuate that I have a massive dong

For example, an anecdote I’d tell to a young black girl who’s a senior at Howard University would not be said to a white girl who’s a medical student at George Washington. You may think this is acting, but it’s more about choosing which parts of you to highlight to your audience in order to build a stronger connection.

The seventeen years I lived in a Maryland ghetto (White Oak), the six years I worked in corporate America, my DJ/bartending experiences, my time abroad, and my writing projects have all allowed me to put on different suits to interact with different girls. By having had varied experiences in my life, I can pick and choose the best way to develop a spark with a girl whose background possibly matches something I’ve done. This helps me fuck an American lawyer cunt, a Colombian college student, an Icelandic engineer working on her masters, a Danish flight attendant, a quirky Polish pixie, and so on all within a short time frame. These girls have nothing in common with each other besides the fact that they have a vagina, yet I was able to connect with them strongly enough to get sex.

If you easily fit a stereotype, then you will only be able to bang a stereotype. If you’re a die-hard prep, you’ll only fuck preppy girls (which isn’t entirely bad if you love preppy girls), but a Brazilian girl would seem foreign and even strange to you. With this idea we’re getting into the big picture, where you’re not just changing a minor aspect of your game to fuck a girl, but adding a part to your being that gets you noticed by someone completely different.

Only by branching out and trying different things, while having friends from different socioeconomic groups and backgrounds, can you truly experience variety. While it’s possible for you to bang an artist even though you’re a corporate worker, it’s much easier if you know something about her artist tribe, or have dabbled in art yourself. To relate to all sorts of women, you’ll not only have to try all sorts of things in life, but achieve minor success, competency, or deep understanding with them. This may mean cutting back on the more wasteful uses of your time.

If you’re not happy with the kind of women you’re fucking, you’ll have to step out of your comfort zone and dive into something new. It’s impossible to form a real connection with someone who shares nothing in common with you, and only by experiencing all that life has to offer can you experience all the types of women that exist.

Main problem: Dont give women too much importance, Dont chase women either. If your are putting too much effort to get a good response from a woman, walk away. Respect yourself at any cost. A more suitable woman will come accross, one that vibrates at your same frecuency, that is easy to notice, if not, simply walk away.

I like this post. Problem is that it won’t work too well for younger guys. Being a good shapeshifter is all about having a lot of life experience. Younger guys are trying to find themselves or too locked into their clicke to game other types of women. How does a young metalhead dude kick it to a fly Latina? He doesn’t cause he can’t relate to her because of his limited life experience. Good post though.

August 3rd, 2011 @ 10:27 am

Great post and agreed with above, the more life experience you have the better, It’s kind of sad that by best stories are about chasing tail etc. However having lived in Europe for over 10 years does help with convo, espeically since I’m a negroid

5 optional

7 optional
August 3rd, 2011 @ 10:41 am

The game?, There is no game or strategy, it is only a matter of liking each other. If your are young, get a girl that vibrates in resonance with you, it doesnt matter latin, asian or black. If she likes the way you are she will show it, no matter how hard you try. Just be yourself and has some dignity, by chasing women your are idolizing them and that is not good. The best game is just lay the trap and somebody will fall.

You see “hot” women with certain type of man and you wonder how was that possible. Maybe she is a low quality person with low standards, we have to get passed the flesh here. I dont care kind of relation we will have, respect has to be part of the deal. For me chasing women is lust and that is a deadly sin, it lowers my dignity and my purposes for life, if while I am bussy making money a person comes across I check it, if not it is ok too, eventually somebody able to resonance with me will come.

That is the problem, there is no magic, you kind of know when you are liked by a woman. Just dress well, get a good job and have some dignity. Be yourself, there is no other way, if she like you she will let you know some how, if she doesnt like you, you will know as well. You have your own personality, you walk and talk in a certain way, you have your own cultural background, How will you know whether she will like you? No way to know that before hand. Dont try to change the good things about you to get a women, that is lack of dignity right there. Of course change whatever is not good like, dressing better, and get a good freaking job or get some education a manners, but again she might like your anyway.

12 optional
August 3rd, 2011 @ 11:18 am

There is always going to be somebody out there for you, just get yourself squared away and you will see. Changing you positive atributes to get any specific woman is inferior. If any specific woman dont like you, somebody else will, as simple as that. Dignity and self respect above all of that.

optional: does a good salesman simply sit back and wait for the customers who appreciate his wares to seek him out and approach him for the sale? Of course not. He has to proactively get out there and chase all kinds of people around in order to find the few that will resonate with what he has to sell. A salesman who simply says “I’ve got this product. Come buy it if you like it.” will soon find himself broke and unemployed. It’s exactly the same with a man trying to find good women.

Add to this the fact that most women don’t have a clue what they want, and are willingly led around by those with a stronger frame than they have. This means that 9 times out of 10, a woman won’t be attracted to you unless you do something to lead the dynamic into attraction. She is just not all that motivated to seek out a good guy and get with him, when she is hit on by random suitors all day every day.

Your perspective is partially right, but it also sounds too much like the rotten advice that women give, to “just be yourself.” It just doesn’t work.

Yes, be yourself and the universe will provide.

All kidding aside, fuck that shit. Human beings communicate on many different “frequencies”. If you believe that you only have 1 frequency, you are a one dimensional person.

Example: Bill Clinton. To blacks, he is a down home southern person. To rich people, he’s a Yalie. To interns and fatties, he’ a sex god. Is he faking all of it, or is he just vibrating at all his frequencies and connecting with a broad swath of people?

Vibrating at your frequency means to want the same without too much trouble. You go to a party and ask a dance to a girl, She says yes and everything goes smooth, get the picture?. That is what I am saying. It is better to have a good frequency that having way too many that you don’t know who you are what you want.
Be yourself means don’t become something your are not in order to get somewhere, this applies in many aspects in life.
I wont become a player from the hood to please some Asian chick, I am who I am take it or leave it, she wont change for you, this is why all this chasing women and stuff is inferior.

August 3rd, 2011 @ 2:36 pm

Makes sense, it seems like there’s a disconnet in guy’s minds. They think they have to find a girl that likes them for them, but don’t realize 90% of the time from everyday life you’ve learned to be someone no one really wants, so you have to step outside yourself figure out how to become whats wanted, taking the fuckin effort to do it pays off.

All this stuff is what immature boys do to attract women. Any real man in his 30 know the truth:
1) Kept your body in shape, go to the gym at least 3 times a week.
2) Good job(cash).
3) Dress nicely.
4) Good car.

This 4 points are universal, forget about being a clown for women, as somebody said, they don’t know what they want exactly, but 1 thing is for sure, they like somebody that meet my 4 universal points, if you meet them your game is tight and you wont have to chase around too much to get what you want. Remember, always respect yourself and have some freaking dignity.

“How does a young metalhead dude kick it to a fly Latina?”

There’s your stereotype. I’ve rarely seen metalheads with hot chicks, and the few hot ones were metalheads themselves.

But the metalhead can kick it if he’s athletic and presents himself somewhat stylishly. Like a mysterious dark romancer with a badboy/rocker edge. A motorcycle, or playing in a band with local fame may help. Greasy hair and dirty denim jackets with Cannibal Corpse and deathshead patches won’t.

If you want a high quality chick you need to be high quality yourself. And have a certain amount of mainstream appeal.

Nerds, weirdos and subculture sectarians only get their respective counterparts. At best.

LOL! Beta game for the win!

Good job and good car are relevant only to gold diggers. If those 2 things were universal, no high school or college boy would get laid.

Good job = at least $100,000 = tied to work, no time to meet chicks, being beta to your boss, etc. = married to a gold digger = divorce rape.

On the other hand, cash flow without a real job = more time to meet chicks = more pussy.

p.s. 95% of French dudes I’ve met in America are beta.

Metalheads are one of the least seductive people on the planet. They usually look dirty and wear denim jackets – two things that make the labia shrivel. They even get less play than the Rastafarian gypsy guy who lives in a truck with his dog. I regularly hang out at a metal/skinhead bar and I NEVER see them with girls who look fuckable. They all look inexplicably worn out and presumably ravaged by hepatitis.

If I were a metal guy, I would dress clean; a nice collared shirt with a perfectly fitting black jacket and some dress boots with nicely styled hair. When I took a girl home, I’d put on some cannibal corpse and fuck her in her state of confusion.

I think some of us are interpreting “shapeshifter” a little too literally. To be able to speak to different people in their own “language” isn’t changing yourself just so you can be with a certain girl, or being someone that you aren’t. It’s about being worldly and knowledgable in different areas, and being able to hold your own no matter what room you’re standing in and being able to relate to different people and get a read on them. You’re being “yourself” in that all of those different aspects are already a part of you. If you’re talking to an arty chick, what’s wrong with conversing with her about art if you’re knowledgable about that particular subject? What’s wrong with connecting with her on that level? Obviously, if you DON’T know shit about art, but try to fake it, THAT would be trying to be something you aren’t.

Actually, this is the kind of man women claim to want. A man that can be all things at all times, and magically know exactly when he needs to be whatever is needed. The Bill Clinton analogy someone made earlier was perfect. It’s been said about Clinton that he could be in a room full of people, yet would have every person in that room believing he was there just for them. Was he not being himself, or was he simply a charismatic, affable man? It’s a great gift to have if you’re a politician, but he would be that same man no matter what he did in life, and he’d be getting the same ton of pussy he’s gotten his whole life. Not everyone is willing or able to expand themselves in this way, but don’t knock guys that ARE this way as somehow being pathetic, needy or lacking dignity.

It’s all about your toolbox, and having as many tools in there as possible. You don’t have to be highly knowledgable in tons of areas. You can have a passing interest, which will be enough to spark or extend a conversation with a woman, and it will give her the opportunity to ramble on and feel she’s dropping knowledge on you (they love that shit).

Asian girls seeking big cocks? No compute.

Asian girls are diverse. Not that my sample is that great: 3 Chinese, 2 Viets, 1 Thai. All these girls were 1st or 2nd generation Thai Americans except one Chinese and the Thai which were banged overseas. I’ve fucked one other American Asian but she culturally American so no difference. Successful game was thus:

Chinese Game: I played International businessman that was going places. They care less about the sensual aspects of sex. Sex is a tool to win successful man and raise exceptional child. Will let you do what you want but not exciting.

Viet Game: Similar to Chinese when they are older, but when they are young they are about the party and status like white girls. Game depends on age

Thai Game: Nothing really just didn’t do anything wrong and DTF. Very horny for fem girl.

P.S. source of LTR problems, never had an Asian that could cum from fucking, expect lots of effort to get them off. Too much effort.

August 4th, 2011 @ 3:56 pm

I’ve banged double digit Asian girls and every one came. Except maybe a few I wasn’t into and therefore lacked motivation for anything but a quickie. But certainly no coming problems with the LTRs. Maybe your beta energy is too low. They need more comfort.

This is one of the most uninformed things I’ve read in a while rife with every cliche in the book. Your comparison to high school and college kids is dumb because a good job and good car matter much more as a man ages. A single guy with little expenses doesn’t need to make a 100K+.
