A Guide To Breaking Rapport
What's going on folks! I've seen many guys confused about the concept of breaking rapport that Michael constantly talks about, so I thought I would give you some additional clarification on what it really means and how to use it. The term "breaking rapport" itself is what might be confusing you, but it is actually the least important part of the concept. You can replace it with other names such as "subverting expectations", "pattern interrupt", or "flipping the status quo", if that makes more sense to you. What it DOES NOT mean, is insulting, negging, or severing your relationship with the other person. The easiest way to think about breaking rapport is as the moment in which you do or say something that takes you from the other person not really being interested in you or seeing you as lower status to all of a sudden being curious about you, liking you or seeing you as equal or even higher status than themselves. You are subverting/interrupting/flipping the idea they had of you for a more positive and desirable one that makes them more invested in you and your interaction with them. The reason why this is an extremely powerful skill to have in your toolbelt is because chances are you are interested in meeting extremely beautiful women and networking with high-status men. If that's you, then as you meet these type of people in your journey, you're going to feel things like imposter syndrome or analysis paralysis because, let's be honest, many of these men and women will absolutely be above your weight class and you need to know how to interact with them. There are several ways to break rapport that you can learn inside the MoA course, but I'll give you two of the main ones: humour and status. Humour is the best one but also the hardest one to learn if you're not naturally a funny, charismatic individual. In the course, you'll learn some techniques to develop your humour, but you can always also learn from watching sitcoms or comedy routines. Here are a couple of examples:

@Mitchell Freedman yeah, I reference the video because it's the clearest example of the dynamic, but I don't want people to get the impression they need to break rapport through money. In fact, even if you have the Lamborghini, I would advise against using it to break rapport; and, parodoxically, that in itself will be a break in rapport because think about it, what would you expect from every guy who owns a Lamborghini? To show it off at every opportunity. The second you don't do that and you act like you're driving a regular car, that's immediately a subversion of expectations because you're breaking the pattern everybody expected of you.

@Ivan Messina Yeah, that's exactly why I started the post by addressing the name of the concept because I find that's where most of the confusion stems from. But the way you describe it is spot on!🙌
Can any elaborate on Breaking Rapport and Compliance Loops?
I've Heard Michael talk Breaking Rapport and Compliance Loops, I was wondering if any one could give a more detailed explanation and examples of the lingo in the context of female friends?

Check the post I just made on this topic. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Meet Michael's Success Coaches (Incredible Transformations)
I want to introduce some of Michael's success coaches! 🎉 These are guys who started out exactly like everyone else in the forum, followed Michael's coaching, and saw tremendous results implementing what Michael has taught them through Men of Action! If you still have questions after diving through the forum, watching the coaching content in the classroom, and asking Michael questions on the FREE Monday MOA calls, use these guys as an incredible resource on the forum. You might have noticed them inputting their years of experience into answering your questions already! @Luke Chase IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/lukegchase/ @Karim Gonzalez IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/karimgl4/ @John Hindley IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/johnkhindley/ @Casey Herzog IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/casey.herzog/ @Anthony DiRico IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/anthonypdirico/ @Jonathan Ortiz IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.d.ortiz/ @Nathan Kardos IG📸: https://www.instagram.com/natekardos/ 💪

Feel free to tag any of us if you have a specific question you want us to look at. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the posts and we may miss some, but if you tag us, we'll be more likely to see it and help you out 🙌

@Ivan Messina I would say right now your Instagram is about a 6-7/10. It's slightly above-average with some good things going for it. That being said, I'm with Ty on this one, the whole point of the audit is for us to tell you what changes you need to make to your profile, and it's just easier and more effective to do it over a call because there are clarification questions that we need to ask you and examples we need to show you and context we must know for your specific situation. It'd be a struggle to do that through posts and replies, so just use the free audit you have available and we'll get you sorted out in one session 💪
Still Don't FULLY Understand How to Make Friends with Women
Don't FULLY understand HOW to make Friends with Women according to how Micheal says to do it. I've been following the advice Micheal has been giving: Don't hit on them, Treat them like a dude etc etc And that's all well & good, I can tell they're not creeped unlike when I've tried 0-100 hitting on them before. but....... what's the fucking point It just ends up in a......(dear god...) platonic conversation .............. that goes nowhere......? (NOooo ho ho)... Wha? Error. Error. Braincells.exe not found. My Neanderthal Brain doesnt want to compute that the path to poon land is MORE than a ONE step process. Jokes aside. What's/where is the "close" if I'm not hitting on the girl? I'm missing something here. What am I doing then? Okay. Yes. Micheal says Friendzone them Gotcha..... How do I do that?Okay. After I do that....... then what? I'm sure Micheal has elaborated on this somewhere in the podcasts, and I searched up some clips just now and I KINDA get it. I WANT to FULLY get it though. Because at a glance it seems Micheal just want us to have platonic conversations that lead to nowhere land. I'm a meathead. I don't get it. Tell me what it is that works. Someone elaborate it crystal fucking clearly, with VISION and CLARITY. Give real-life examples.. I want this concept to PENETRATE my THICK skull like a 50 Caliber AP High Explosive Incendiary round out of upscaled Barret M82 death star rail gun cannon discharged from Jesus's doorstep @Anthony DiRico @Ty Buchanan @Kyle Mullaney @Grant Jordan

Think of it like this: You're not trying to date the girls you're friendzoning; you're trying to date all the girls they're friends with. The reason you make female friends is because on the one hand, they can give you a level of access you as a man would struggle to have, and on the other hand, a solid female friend is the best wingman you'll ever have in your life. Once you have a good friendship with her, and she's interested in helping you and contributing to your life just like you contribute to hers, that's when she'll start introducing you to other girls, and talking you up so you're already coming pre-qualified into the interaction. She can help you approach and meet new girls (try cold approaching with a hot girl by your arm, it's the ultimate cheat code). You may be getting the impression that you have to friendzone 100% of the girls you ever meet no matter what, and although that certainly works (many girls that you friendzone will end up being attracted to you and want to date you), if you're having a hard time wrapping your head around how that works, just do what I just described, friendzone the girls that you choose as your wingwomen (ideally attractive and very social women that like to go out and socialize), and then leverage those relationships with them to meet the girls you do want to hit on and date.
