Been quiet here for a while. But after 3 years, 20+ of my own events in different cities, and more social reps than I can count, here are 10 things that I now see as non negotiables. 1. Instagram is even more important than I previously thought. I know it's the one thing that gets repeated the most - but even that does not encapsulate how important Instagram really is. I've seen many guys ruined their reputation with Instagram and I have seen a couple that do it extremely well. It has opened many doors for me in dating as well as meeting high value men in my city, if you have not fixed your Instagram, I don't know what you're doing. Important notice: Do not get caught up in constantly thinking "ohh my instagram is not good enough yet so i cant go out meeting people..." Bullshit. I've seen guys get stuck in the fixing phase rather than doing it in parallel. 2. List building is a living document. At the beginning I invited a ton of girls, but never really dared inviting the hottest ones. The biggest realization was that the hotter the girl is the friendlier they are and the more open they are to coming to your event,. The six and sevens are usually the ones that are the less thankful and flaky. Dare to go to the top. 3. Be careful where you spend your time. The more you get known in your city the more people are going to want your time. A lot of people love talking, especially the ones that are "visionaries". This is why we don't listen to the words. Always look at what the person has accomplished rather than what they are planning to accomplish. It's fine if they are at least taking action into the right direction. 4. Compliance is the absolute social cheat code. This took me the longest to understand fully. I used to focus way too much on building Attraction rather than just gathering compliance. If you get this down, you're good to go in all things. 5. You get punished for your insecurities. The world does not reward overly shy people as Tai Lopez would say. This could not be more true. Regardless of what you are insecure about, it really doesn't matter. Most people are completely indulged in their own ego and that's OK. Do whatever you have to to convince yourself that you're good the way you are and put yourself out there. When I say punished, I mean that you are going to get left behind and people start doing things without you - simply because you don't have enough mental real estate for them, you don't get remembered.

Hey guys, I'm building the list for step 2 and I've heard a lot of advice about finding your archetype of girl and then building a list of that. While beauty is important to me like to any guy, I'm also not really looking to meet party girls who spend every weekend at the club and get flown to Dubai. Also not looking for OF girls or other girls in the "industry."Instead, I'm looking for a normal girl without a crazy big IG following who lives a relatively normal life. Have any of you guys found places that allowed you to build a list and meet more normal girls who also happen to be beautiful? I've tried yoga/pilates studio IG pages, and found that a lot of girls that go there actually don't follow those places on IG and those girls that are followed by the yoga/pilates studios are just yoga/pilates instructors or other business accounts. I'm interesting in trying to find girls that have regular jobs but may be interested in modeling as a hobby or girls that never even modeled/never tried to be influencer but are beautiful. Does anyone have any advice?

Michael talks a lot about the important of breaking rapport but this seems to be the opposite of one the books on his reading list that I recently started to go through, "How to win friends and influence" by Dale Carnegie. This book is all about building rapport. How do you reconcile these seemingly opposite views on interactions with female friends and guys you want to network with? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for books focused on exploring more the concept of breaking rapport? It would be interesting to read it and see how it can be reconciled with the principles in Carnegie's book.

1.Is it good idea to have select atmospheric music to play in background of certain video stories? For example, doing this when you're showing a beautiful view or a cool location. I notice Corey Chaloff never does this for his stories and story highlights and it's unclear why. Do guys do this and if so, how do you not overdo it? 2. I noticed that oftentimes Corey Chaloff and some other guys from MoA start a story with a video where they point the camera towards the ground to show themselves walking and then bring it up. What is the reasoning for this? is it to prove that you're actually there and didn't take someone else's story? Thanks in advance

I wanted to get some advice about an important decision for my career. I was recently offered a great job in a very rural area, which is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from a major city with amazing nightlife and good sized population(city is great for MoA). The small town I plan to live is less than 20K people, and has a lot of elderly people(no opportunity to build a social circle whatsoever). My plan is to drive to the major city and build my social circle and dating life there on the weekends. I even plan to rent an apartment in the major city so I can sleep there over the weekend. Is this possible and realistic to be successful in MoA? I want to make sure I am not overlooking any obstacles or challenges before I make this choice.
