Dude, you bring in your "friend" the #1 PUA, get help from a computer program nobody else has and buy a service for 2.5 to 50(!)k. Then you say "If I can do it, you can do it too". How can I take this seriously? Genuine question.
@@juliankonrath3617 the PUA method doesn't work for most guys. I don't know about the other two. The problem with PUA is talking because talking is killing the attraction despite you can make them laugh and I did it. When you run out of your "script" it usually is game over for you.
Yes, I definitely would have gone for her too. Dating as a 30 year old guy is tough, but she seemed easy to talk to and didn't take herself too seriously. I liked that she came to the party in a chill outfit and not lathered in makeup. Definitely my kind of gal. It was probably a long time ago but I hope she's doing well :)
When iwas in my 20s i gave a freind a lift to a party in my car he spoke these words to me "im gonna get myself a woman tonight what about you?" It seemed abit nieve to think that way as i hardly knew anyone there . When we sat down at the party he filled a jug of beer and we sat down at an emty table an surveyed the people, as you do. After a few drinks i got up and started chating to some blokes my age and left him to his drinking . A group of girls were chatting togeather and i was agonising trying to overcome my shyness ,it occured to me rather than trying to "get one" perhaps i could see if i could just talk to every woman at the party for fun and see what happened. This attitude was a huge breakthrough for me, i was married within the year. I still do that at parties,im still with my first wife 40 years later. Not every attempt at conversation is succesfull but freindship is somthing to practice. Who wants to be got anyway ?
If you see relationships as a competition you make yourself less attractive .my observations are that a man taking care of his freinds is more attractive than a jealous self serving man . What do you think?
@@neilbush9873 It's good advice, like saving up for a down payment on a house, but it's still a lot harder today than it was even a decade ago (just like buying a house).
I remember years ago (1997), I met a woman who contacted me after I wrote her though a single column in a UK biker magazine. We chatted for over 6 hours on the phone and I had no idea what she looked like. When I met her, she was okay, but her personality was amazing and we hit it off straight away. It was very intense but when you have that chemistry with someone, looks really don't matter that much. When she broke up with me I felt destroyed.
I'm so thrilled to see that you're doing the UA-cam game - I know you had hesitations that you mentioned on the Noah Kagan episode, but this is just so valuable. Thank you for sharing your gift.
No. Men have it worse, but Women have plenty of problems as well. Women are flooded with awful shit men to the point where it's hard to find the good ones, so they only try for the best ones who won't settle for them. Dating is shit for everyone these days.
Men have dating on apocalypse mode in a dating sim. Women have dating on apocalypse mode in Among Us. They have to actually watch out for people who will kill them. haha
yeah, actually flip it. Women have to worry constantly about being killed/raped/imprisoned/kidnapped/tortured. Tf is the worst that a man usually worries about? Wake up. Yeesh.

*FERRIS MASTERY: Although, I have learned a lot from Tim over the years I fear the focus of this particular experiment falls short, because yes, knowing how to **_attract_** a mate is important, but "picking up" (dating) a person good for you is truly a mine field without the ability to quickly screen out "deal breakers" and decipher potential compatibility within an initial short conversation. I have mastered how to read body language, micro expressions, verbal cues, and use calibrated questions designed to covertly expose their true self within one 5-10min casual conversation while establishing rapport and drawing them. So trust me when I say, I had to master this for work and now strangers I interact with have no clue what I'm doing and may not understand why I didn't call them back after all.* *Great video! I love the tech intro. Strong first step toward all I shared above. I'm excited about Tim's series.* *Liberty = Peace & I pray we always enjoy both!*
The problem isn't to find a girl. The problem is to find a loyal one which is not a femina-zi. In the western world mindset, a women being a femina-zi is the standard.
I actually first learned about you when I read Neil’s first book about dating when you helped him pack on ten pounds of muscle in 6 weeks. You guys inspire me to be better! Looking for somewhere I can learn bachata while I stay here in the Dominican Republic
It is absolutely hilarious to see someone like Tim who is so successfull in many areas of life is struggling so much with a basic task like dating. Was fun to watch and reminded me of my first experiences.
I respect that he wants to keep his opinions on the dates close to his chest, as to not insult any of the ones he didn’t choose. But I think from what little we saw, he had the most connection with the farmers market lady. Also, I think there’s an element where he feels the most rewarded by that interaction because he risked the most and therefore accomplished the most with her. (I swear you could tell a change in his demeanor after that. He was more confident.) I would think that interaction as their initial meeting will lead to more attraction (from both parties) than the other ones
Tim - I’m a huge listener of your podcast and also your books! I find it impossible to believe that you have a hard time doing cold approach. That vulnerability must have been just for TV (?)!!
But if it goes anywhere, and she asks about the cat, do you make up a lie or tell her you went to an animal shelter to set it up because you’re a totally fake manipulator?
I mean having a good net worth helps (maybe just with confidence if anything) but it's mostly that he seems kind and warm and well put together. That's much more essential. I suggest you try that too.
I enjoyed the video, but as a European woman, it does not make any sense to me to invite your 3 crushes at the same event. In France, women would walk away because it would be considered as really disrespectul. This is not a job interview; you want to see if you vibe with the person, and how can you really be yourself, relax and flirt a little if all your competitors are in the same room? This is really capitalism applied to dating, where emotions and people become commodities. Also, I think that if you're obsessed with a certain type of rib cage, the matchmaker has to explain to you that it shouldn"t be a criteria to identify your soulmate. A friend was asking me why dating was hard in the US. (I live on the East Coast). I told her that most American men were paralysed in front of women and did not know how to approach them. She couldn't believe it! Finally, since the audience of this channel seems to focus on science rather emotions or intuition, I recommend the book "How not to die alone", by Logan Ury. thanks for readying!
It's the creativity that Tim delivers the efficiency. He brought science for the logical types. Men tend to try to fix everything , in relationships also , instead of confident social interaction. I've seen women bring her men friends together so who will fight for her. This bar scene too crowded, not enuff one-to-one. That's a good book rec.
You'd probably be surprised that a lot of American and hispanic women respond well to this type of situation. It was almost funny to watch the two women become more fixated on each other than Tim 😂 like their own little rock-paper-scissors match for Tim😅
Bonjour Leila. Crazy how men got paralyzed by #metoo and #balancetonporc. Charm and frankness open arms and heart. Fully agree on focusing on science rather than emotions. Next episode might be something like how to beat AI on the dating field. Surprized you'd recommend Logan Ury's book. She sounds like her strategy execution was developed at harvard business school. Aucune humanité. So no space for butterflies, again. Looks we, european , have a competitive advantage😀. Une bonne soirée à vous. B.
On your final note, it's not about choosing one of these methods. I found it better to do all of them. I met a serious girlfriend through a matchmaking service in the US, and I met my current girlfriend (she's the one) on a dating site here in Thailand.
So women can select on appearance, like the ever recurring height thing (which you can't influence), but he's not allowed to have a preference for characteristics that she can influence is what you're saying.
This is great to see. I feel like I am not alone in putting successful folks like tim up on a pedestal, like they are some sort of gifted extra terrestrial that I cant even compare myself to but realize that's just another one of my excuses. We are all just humans!!!
I love that you put yourself out there and took one for the team for the sake of a whole generation of us who are trying to play the field. Loved this episode! ❤
Loved this, Tim! Thank you for sharing and for your vulnerability. This was awesome to see you in this light. You are a great guy doing incredible work for our human family, and you are so worthy and deserving of your wildest dreams. Keep at it! You'll find her soon
BTW I had read here and there some tips and followed this strategy: 1. have at least one black and white photo; 2. for men - look at the camera and smile with no teeth, for women - look away from the camera and smile with teeth, 3. have at least one full body photo (duh), 4. have a photo wearing red (red dress for example). But guess what, I'm a woman and everyone swipes on me. It doesn't get really easier to assess potential real life dates, and I think these tricks are mainly for men. Men actually don't put any effort in their profiles, I notice. If I see someone with zero stuff written, I swipe away. Potentially not being able to write.
@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow really? I am not sure but I'm judging from my own opinion only, can't find enough women to ask. If I see more than one sentence, I think someone has put in the time to write something. Perhaps more important is what it says, one or more sentences.
@@mequable Perhaps. There's such a thing as putting too many pictures as well, for both sexes. It's like people are finding a reason not to like you. I'm guilty of it too when I see a really bad pic.
Just heard your most recent interview with Noah Kagan yesterday. Looks like you may be expanding the YT presence after all! I'm here for it and appreciate you working through the negative repercussions to continue to share your journey and wisdom in this format as well.
Wow, Tim! That was really helpful! Champion caliber Latin Dancer is nervous approaching women? I guess anything can happen to anyone at any time! Loved it. BTW, Brock Purdy does this suggestive dance in the end zone after a touchdown. Have you seen it?
Status is the #1 aphrodisiac, fame being the pinnacle of status. Status is also situationally relevant so you can cultivate it within your daily lives.
This is such a guy myth and flawed premise. We are energetic beings not material ones. Women find confidence, and if having status makes you feel confident and sexy then great. It will work for some people but mostly those who feel something lacking in themselves I reckon 😢
what the..! I want to see the outcome! Give me a happy ending... I enjoyed watching this a lot, the down to earth Tim Ferris and the very interesting approaches. I want to become a pick up artist now! 😀
With his net worth, he's the one who should be nervous about females liking/loving him, when they find out who he is. He needs to learn the 101 female bonding tricks used on men they want to catch. As portrayed here, he is a literal baby at this, super vulnerable.
Intellectual compatibility is actually a great way to go. I became attracted to my wife of over 30 years not by looks but by personality. It helped that she was pretty, for sure, but I didn't become attracted to her until we really started to talk and get to know each other.
I am totally blown away that Tim is anxious about approaching women, with his money, status, skills. I thought I would be doing better with all that stuff but I'm doing already doing quite well, I guess approaching women effectively is a skill independent of anything else. For those interested, Todd V has a lot to teach on the subject.
If anything the money usually puts one's head up their ass and causes them to stay clear from regular people. What's also true is he didn't setup anything with a romantic expectation and thus didn't execute anything.
I can’t imagine you having a hard time getting a date. You have been doing podcasts and your life experiences is more than 10 average people. Your books are awesome. And the game is the one book that changed my life for the better. NLP not the AI type. Sammy’s interview on darknet diaries was awesome. You’re a lucky man Tim to have made such a great life. It might be that your alway into something and no time for a relationship
I've learned there is no need for any pickup tricks. And that the base mindset of pickup of "learning to pick up women" stems from a need to be validated by the opposite sex. the only way forward is to realize you don't need this validation, otherwise you're "dependent" on fishing for women's attention Instead, you talk to a person, and listen, and you do not have "strategy" or use "tricks" because there is no agenda but to be aware of the other person in the present
Neil Strauss and the Game book got me started on my debaucherous journey through my twenties. Love him, and the people that created that science. Im married now with a kid on the way. This was the best content you've put out.
Oh I remember meeting Neil and his girlfriend years before the pickup stuff with a mutual friend for dinner - his GF was gorgeous and adorable and he was super delightful and fun to talk to - funny to see this take.
"whats measured, gets managed" - does not apply to things that are completly or partially out of your locus of control. Dating is partially out of your control. So measuring provides insight but not much management. Stil usefull tho.
Aww, Tim. I love this. Your vulnerability is cute! I find it hard to believe that you have a difficult time getting dates. Good luck on your dating quest, sir!
I’ve never like the idea of a pickup artist - it seems like a kind of slimy way to view meeting people, but I like the the way you use the ice breaking tips to overcome nerves and get yourself out there. We could all do with a little help!
My nostalgia is kicking in! This is peak San Francisco. And it's probably just before Tim moved away. Also, good luck finding a beautiful single girl your age in San Francisco who isn't completely wacko. :)
The day game part was terrible imo, opening up with a random question/fake scenario puts the conversation in a weird rhythm, hard to transition the conversation to about them, best thing to do is to approach them and ask them a question about THEM, and then talk about each other and build a connection. "Hey I like your {accessory you noticed and liked} how did you decide to get that?" Also don't just stuff down approach anxiety, dive deeper into that anxiety and ask yourself why am I feeling this? There was a guy on youtube handing out tiny gold bars on the street and people kept turning him down because he seemed like he was handing out pamphlets, but none of that rejection bothered him because he knew deep down inside he was offering something of high value... rejection was THEIR loss not his! When you frame all of your approaches in this mindset of "I am of high value" then approach anxiety melts away because you properly re-framed you fear of rejection
It must be hard finding a date when you are a rich good-looking successful writer celebrity 😅I can imagine that it could be hard finding true love though
Yeah you can tell from the way he pulled together his 20 men and women friends for a cocktail party at the end that he had a difficult time finding a date. He seems like a great guy, there is no reason to pull the “if I could just get a date” shtick.
Guys, I'm in my 60ies and the best approach is to be direct. My favorite line is What are you going to make with that... be it food, crafts, hobbies... works every time.
Wild that Tim, who is handsome and successful, has difficulty going up to random ladies. I would assume he’s a player. It is actually nice to know he’s still a normal down to earth man. ❤
I'm a big Tim Ferris fan, but a lot of his first steps seem "cringey" enough to not be repeatable. For example, the first step to dating being to consult a hacker who was previously banned by the feds.. Geez, that's romantic. All in the name of data collection 😆
At the hacker part, I just rolled my eyes too, and I am someone who could probably implement that strategy. It's kind of worthless strategy though, timing is everything.
I think the matchmaker would be the best investment. Even if you didn’t find the one with her, the feedback she can give you based on what she hears back from women is so valuable. Kind of like working with a head hunter to find a job. 😊
OK, Dear Tim, I'm halfway the video and this is painful to watch. I think dating is one of those things that you can't really deconstruct, strategize or over-intellectualize. I'm thinking at this point about for example those UA-camrs that just go out there and talk to a girl and ask for the phone just because they like her. That's what worked for me, just being brutally honest, girls or women like when someone has confidence and determination, it makes them feel good as well as of course telling them what they like to listen, but this has to be honest, not a strategy! This is how I met most of my girlfriends and this is how I met my wife, I actually met her at a classroom and I asked her in front of everyone what was her favorite movie Director and favorite music group, just like that, freaky I know, but eventually she married me. Just go out, forget about apps, that is not going to end well, the normal process of dating and meeting someone has to be natural unless you want to date a robot, then go to Tinder, the best example in movies is a little bit corny but it's the scene in Meet Joe Black of how they meet. It's like that. Cheers!
every single human to human interaction can be deconstructed and better understood... you would think comedians are just people who get up on a stage and they just "be funny" but they craft their routine down to a science, they look back at tape and see what works and what doesn't... that being said yeah I think the in-person pickup part of the video missed a lot of important points (such as addressing the approach anxiety)
Really? The moment I realised you are inviting all girls to your party, I was out. Being invited feels special. Finding tons of “competition” feels like being an object in “the bachelor”.

It is absolutely hilarious to see someone like Tim who is so successfull in many areas of life is struggling so much with a basic task like dating.
Was fun to watch and reminded me of my first experiences.
I'm realizing I'm on the same boat as him and I'm going to have to get this down to a science with practice. It was definitely fun to watch him learn.
Tim is so focused on performance that he does not seem to be willing to leave some space to the adventurous side of dating
This episode made me LOL a few times, which is rare for a tv show. Good concept Tim!
I loved this episode so much, especially the part where you're talking to people in person. Rooting for you to find love! :D

You'd be surprised. Everyone has to have game
Flaunting wealth is a great way to attract the wrong type of woman
I mean having a good net worth helps (maybe just with confidence if anything) but it's mostly that he seems kind and warm and well put together. That's much more essential. I suggest you try that too.
"I don't expect to find my soulmate." That's a rough start. Nervous TIm Ferriss is so endearing...
I enjoyed the video, but as a European woman, it does not make any sense to me to invite your 3 crushes at the same event. In France, women would walk away because it would be considered as really disrespectul. This is not a job interview; you want to see if you vibe with the person, and how can you really be yourself, relax and flirt a little if all your competitors are in the same room? This is really capitalism applied to dating, where emotions and people become commodities. Also, I think that if you're obsessed with a certain type of rib cage, the matchmaker has to explain to you that it shouldn"t be a criteria to identify your soulmate.
A friend was asking me why dating was hard in the US. (I live on the East Coast). I told her that most American men were paralysed in front of women and did not know how to approach them. She couldn't believe it!
Finally, since the audience of this channel seems to focus on science rather emotions or intuition, I recommend the book "How not to die alone", by Logan Ury.
thanks for readying!
It's the creativity that Tim delivers the efficiency. He brought science for the logical types. Men tend to try to fix everything , in relationships also , instead of confident social interaction. I've seen women bring her men friends together so who will fight for her. This bar scene too crowded, not enuff one-to-one. That's a good book rec.
You'd probably be surprised that a lot of American and hispanic women respond well to this type of situation.
It was almost funny to watch the two women become more fixated on each other than Tim 😂 like their own little rock-paper-scissors match for Tim😅
Coffee date? I’m on your coast.😉
Bonjour Leila. Crazy how men got paralyzed by #metoo and #balancetonporc. Charm and frankness open arms and heart. Fully agree on focusing on science rather than emotions. Next episode might be something like how to beat AI on the dating field. Surprized you'd recommend Logan Ury's book. She sounds like her strategy execution was developed at harvard business school. Aucune humanité. So no space for butterflies, again. Looks we, european , have a competitive advantage😀. Une bonne soirée à vous. B.
agreed. This was just a jumble of lightweight adverts. It was just like jumping through a bad magazine article.
Quel bordel
Love these fun episodes, Tim! Keep them coming. 😊😊
On your final note, it's not about choosing one of these methods. I found it better to do all of them. I met a serious girlfriend through a matchmaking service in the US, and I met my current girlfriend (she's the one) on a dating site here in Thailand.
I'd be curious to know the success rate of the 'matchmaker' .. whether a service like that actually works for people _long-term_ .
Almost never.
Love the approaches! Thanks for sharing.
Good old Tim Ferris human Guinea Pig stuff! Loved it👍
What a cool episode! Thank you for making it and sharing your experience!
Just found your videos, look forward to more!
Thank you
This was fantastic! The production value. Everything. Well done sir!
I love Tim but when he hit the matchmaker with the rib cage filter I lost it.
“I want a very thin woman” would create a negative result to the video
@@Shineonfriends yeah that went thru my head , brilliant from him
@@Shineonfriends Bullsh*t. Men are allowed to have standards.
So women can select on appearance, like the ever recurring height thing (which you can't influence), but he's not allowed to have a preference for characteristics that she can influence is what you're saying.
If someone as famous and well-connected as Tim finds it hard to find a match, what hope is there for us mortals...
I agree
Take this as entertainment. I don't believe all of this is authentic. It's content to have clicks and make bucks $$$$$
lol
sincere, optimistic reframe: it means we're all mortals, we're all in the same boat, same ocean, and maybe... the hope is also the same
Don't belittle yourself while putting others on a high horse. It will make for a sorrow life
This is great to see. I feel like I am not alone in putting successful folks like tim up on a pedestal, like they are some sort of gifted extra terrestrial that I cant even compare myself to but realize that's just another one of my excuses. We are all just humans!!!
For those wondering 21:21 (C) 2014 .... Does take take me back to a day when the Reality-TV was fun.
I felt it when he said "getting rejected is hard for me, it crashes my ego."
I love that you put yourself out there and took one for the team for the sake of a whole generation of us who are trying to play the field.
Loved this episode! ❤
Women don’t play the field. What’re you talking about?
Such humour 😂
The Amy from the farmers marketing at the party killed me 😂
Loved this, Tim! Thank you for sharing and for your vulnerability. This was awesome to see you in this light. You are a great guy doing incredible work for our human family, and you are so worthy and deserving of your wildest dreams. Keep at it! You'll find her soon
He's really putting the ladies in a tremendous competition with each other at the end 😂
This gave me butterflies! It is so hard to just walk up to someone like that. Loved this so much
Love seeing you approach challenges that put you truly outside of your comfort zone-- inspiring! 🙌🏻
The pics with the cat cracked me right up
Lmao brilliant
Right! 😂
Loved this, so interesting seeing you try out these different approaches!
BTW I had read here and there some tips and followed this strategy: 1. have at least one black and white photo; 2. for men - look at the camera and smile with no teeth, for women - look away from the camera and smile with teeth, 3. have at least one full body photo (duh), 4. have a photo wearing red (red dress for example). But guess what, I'm a woman and everyone swipes on me. It doesn't get really easier to assess potential real life dates, and I think these tricks are mainly for men. Men actually don't put any effort in their profiles, I notice. If I see someone with zero stuff written, I swipe away. Potentially not being able to write.
It goes the other way too, if you write more than a sentence or two, you lose most women. Maybe the best approach is just be yourself.
@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow really? I am not sure but I'm judging from my own opinion only, can't find enough women to ask. If I see more than one sentence, I think someone has put in the time to write something. Perhaps more important is what it says, one or more sentences.
@@mequable Perhaps. There's such a thing as putting too many pictures as well, for both sexes. It's like people are finding a reason not to like you. I'm guilty of it too when I see a really bad pic.
Just heard your most recent interview with Noah Kagan yesterday. Looks like you may be expanding the YT presence after all! I'm here for it and appreciate you working through the negative repercussions to continue to share your journey and wisdom in this format as well.
Inviting 3 dates to the same party is a bold move 😂
Wow, Tim! That was really helpful! Champion caliber Latin Dancer is nervous approaching women? I guess anything can happen to anyone at any time! Loved it. BTW, Brock Purdy does this suggestive dance in the end zone after a touchdown. Have you seen it?
Very fun! We need an epilogue please (I'm rooting for restaurant lady from the Ferry bldg.)
I hope you do a follow-up video to let us know how your journey is going. Good luck!
Status is the #1 aphrodisiac, fame being the pinnacle of status. Status is also situationally relevant so you can cultivate it within your daily lives.
This is such a guy myth and flawed premise.
We are energetic beings not material ones.
Women find confidence, and if having status makes you feel confident and sexy then great. It will work for some people but mostly those who feel something lacking in themselves I reckon 😢
haha Tim Ferriss taking dating advice from Neil Strauss 😆😆 That's one I didn't see coming!! :D
Good to know guys get nervous. Dating has become a huge challenge.
what the..! I want to see the outcome! Give me a happy ending... I enjoyed watching this a lot, the down to earth Tim Ferris and the very interesting approaches. I want to become a pick up artist now! 😀
Plot twist: non of the three women go out with him but instead become best friends
I feel like all four people wouldn't mind that.
except that doesnt happen so... stupid comment
if they wanted they woulda just dated
With his net worth, he's the one who should be nervous about females liking/loving him, when they find out who he is. He needs to learn the 101 female bonding tricks used on men they want to catch. As portrayed here, he is a literal baby at this, super vulnerable.
This gives me old TV show vibes and I like it
Intellectual compatibility is actually a great way to go. I became attracted to my wife of over 30 years not by looks but by personality. It helped that she was pretty, for sure, but I didn't become attracted to her until we really started to talk and get to know each other.
If this guy is single, we're cooked...
Congrats Tim on getting out of your comfort zone! Your a beast for doing this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The shirtless cat pics are THE BEST 😂
🐈
really, wow. another thing I don't get.
I thought it was cheesy and trying too hard
🤢
That was creepy. I would never
Tim at the farmers market was absolutely adorable. I don't think I've seen that Tim before.
I am totally blown away that Tim is anxious about approaching women, with his money, status, skills. I thought I would be doing better with all that stuff but I'm doing already doing quite well, I guess approaching women effectively is a skill independent of anything else. For those interested, Todd V has a lot to teach on the subject.
Love greasy V
If anything the money usually puts one's head up their ass and causes them to stay clear from regular people.
What's also true is he didn't setup anything with a romantic expectation and thus didn't execute anything.
I can’t imagine you having a hard time getting a date. You have been doing podcasts and your life experiences is more than 10 average people. Your books are awesome. And the game is the one book that changed my life for the better. NLP not the AI type. Sammy’s interview on darknet diaries was awesome. You’re a lucky man Tim to have made such a great life.
It might be that your alway into something and no time for a relationship
Ooh this was so fun. I hope you went on a date with at least one of them, they seem awesome.
Well, whoever his gf was, they broke up few months ago
😂 lurking 👀 in the SlamVan 😂
I've learned there is no need for any pickup tricks.
And that the base mindset of pickup of "learning to pick up women" stems from a need to be validated by the opposite sex. the only way forward is to realize you don't need this validation, otherwise you're "dependent" on fishing for women's attention
Instead, you talk to a person, and listen, and you do not have "strategy" or use "tricks" because there is no agenda but to be aware of the other person in the present
At the end of the day … no matter what… we are ALWAYS guided by the Heart ❤! Great fun episode! I wish I was at that party ! 😅
Neil Strauss and the Game book got me started on my debaucherous journey through my twenties. Love him, and the people that created that science. Im married now with a kid on the way. This was the best content you've put out.
The style of the video feels like a show you'd see on TV; very refreshing
This series was recorded years ago. From the comments I see some people don't know that.
finally something good again on youtube ! really cool and well-made episode
This was a great episode, especially as you had real skin in the game. You did great!
Oh I remember meeting Neil and his girlfriend years before the pickup stuff with a mutual friend for dinner - his GF was gorgeous and adorable and he was super delightful and fun to talk to - funny to see this take.
"whats measured, gets managed" - does not apply to things that are completly or partially out of your locus of control. Dating is partially out of your control. So measuring provides insight but not much management. Stil usefull tho.
Aww, Tim. I love this. Your vulnerability is cute! I find it hard to believe that you have a difficult time getting dates. Good luck on your dating quest, sir!
Wow, this was me like 15 years ago or something when I started doing what Mystery, Style and a bunch of other guys came up with. Those memories! 😅
Dude, just watching you do the cold approaches was giving me major anxiety lol
I’ve seen this a long time ago…. this is old… why isnt it mentioned as a reupload
Criminals.
I’ve never like the idea of a pickup artist - it seems like a kind of slimy way to view meeting people, but I like the the way you use the ice breaking tips to overcome nerves and get yourself out there. We could all do with a little help!
Come on Tim, where's the 4-Hour Spouse book we need
Love the old episodes Tim
Inner game is a huge benefit.
❤ spot on! Game is all about inner game
That’s it. Nailed it.
Inner game is true alpha , true success
My nostalgia is kicking in! This is peak San Francisco. And it's probably just before Tim moved away.
Also, good luck finding a beautiful single girl your age in San Francisco who isn't completely wacko. :)
The day game part was terrible imo, opening up with a random question/fake scenario puts the conversation in a weird rhythm, hard to transition the conversation to about them, best thing to do is to approach them and ask them a question about THEM, and then talk about each other and build a connection. "Hey I like your {accessory you noticed and liked} how did you decide to get that?"
Also don't just stuff down approach anxiety, dive deeper into that anxiety and ask yourself why am I feeling this? There was a guy on youtube handing out tiny gold bars on the street and people kept turning him down because he seemed like he was handing out pamphlets, but none of that rejection bothered him because he knew deep down inside he was offering something of high value... rejection was THEIR loss not his! When you frame all of your approaches in this mindset of "I am of high value" then approach anxiety melts away because you properly re-framed you fear of rejection
Sorry Tim, Tomson and his 5 subscribers know way more about women than Neil Strauss and yourself
your intro lines. Making the impossible, possible by bonding rules. My way of thinking ... I'm Subscribed now
It must be hard finding a date when you are a rich good-looking successful writer celebrity 😅I can imagine that it could be hard finding true love though
Yeah you can tell from the way he pulled together his 20 men and women friends for a cocktail party at the end that he had a difficult time finding a date.
He seems like a great guy, there is no reason to pull the “if I could just get a date” shtick.
Guys, I'm in my 60ies and the best approach is to be direct. My favorite line is What are you going to make with that... be it food, crafts, hobbies... works every time.
Is this a new show? It feels like it’s at least 10 years old, but it’s good though
it is very very old before the youtube geneation
Around 2013-14
@wagmi614 how can i see its other episodes?

Wild that Tim, who is handsome and successful, has difficulty going up to random ladies. I would assume he’s a player. It is actually nice to know he’s still a normal down to earth man. ❤
Approach anxiety is real.
I'm a big Tim Ferris fan, but a lot of his first steps seem "cringey" enough to not be repeatable. For example, the first step to dating being to consult a hacker who was previously banned by the feds.. Geez, that's romantic. All in the name of data collection 😆
At the hacker part, I just rolled my eyes too, and I am someone who could probably implement that strategy. It's kind of worthless strategy though, timing is everything.
I think the matchmaker would be the best investment. Even if you didn’t find the one with her, the feedback she can give you based on what she hears back from women is so valuable. Kind of like working with a head hunter to find a job. 😊
OK, Dear Tim, I'm halfway the video and this is painful to watch. I think dating is one of those things that you can't really deconstruct, strategize or over-intellectualize. I'm thinking at this point about for example those UA-camrs that just go out there and talk to a girl and ask for the phone just because they like her. That's what worked for me, just being brutally honest, girls or women like when someone has confidence and determination, it makes them feel good as well as of course telling them what they like to listen, but this has to be honest, not a strategy! This is how I met most of my girlfriends and this is how I met my wife, I actually met her at a classroom and I asked her in front of everyone what was her favorite movie Director and favorite music group, just like that, freaky I know, but eventually she married me. Just go out, forget about apps, that is not going to end well, the normal process of dating and meeting someone has to be natural unless you want to date a robot, then go to Tinder, the best example in movies is a little bit corny but it's the scene in Meet Joe Black of how they meet. It's like that. Cheers!
every single human to human interaction can be deconstructed and better understood... you would think comedians are just people who get up on a stage and they just "be funny" but they craft their routine down to a science, they look back at tape and see what works and what doesn't... that being said yeah I think the in-person pickup part of the video missed a lot of important points (such as addressing the approach anxiety)
Did not expect a meet Joe Black reference ❤
Heck, I get anxious just watching you trying to do the IRL approach.
Really? The moment I realised you are inviting all girls to your party, I was out. Being invited feels special. Finding tons of “competition” feels like being an object in “the bachelor”.
Yes, he'd be ignoring someone. For me, I'd be turned off and feel like I wasted my time.
The Bachelor is a very successful show lol…
Women usually like men that other women like. Also, he didn't invite them to intimate dates, he invited them to a co-ed social event with his friends.
I am lucky to have so much self-confidence and belief in the math of probability that getting rejected didn't crush my ego.
