Grow Your Game

If the hype’s to be believed, the world as we know it will change forever on February 14th 2008. It’s not Peace in the Middle East. It’s not The Return of Christ. It’s not even the return of Tupak.

The Blueprint Decoded will finally be released.

For those of you who haven’t already entered in to a state of total rapture at the very mention of those magical words, ‘The Blueprint Decoded’ is the DVD version of Tyler Durden’s long-awaited book ‘The Blueprint’, 4 years in the making.

The reviews have been almost evangelically enthusiastic. People have described it as “life-changing”, “monumental”, and “sleep-depriving”. Some guy even claimed he couldn’t drive after attending. Our curiosity was, needless to say, somewhat piqued.

Intriguingly, what the reviews DO all have in common though is a lack of hard details on what the program contains. Only one of the jubilant reviews on their forum even hints at what the structure of the program is.

Here at Grow Your Game, we have a weakness for a good story.

So armed with every review we could find on their site, every scrap of information from their preview site, the reading list from Tyler Durden’s blog, a healthy dose of intelligence, and an almost encyclopedic knowledge of virtually every pickup and self-development product on the market, we’ve attempted to make some predictions about the content you’ll find when your hallowed DVD’s finally arrive.

Here’s the first in our series of ‘Preview’ articles, leading up to the release. Obviously these are neither endorsed nor are we claiming they’re an accurate representation. But we think they’re pretty damn good. Enjoy!

Value and Emotional Reactions

Two of the items that caught our eye from the preview site were Survival and Replication Value, and Emotional Reactions. Your Survival and Replication Value is the degree to which you’re able to help (or hinder) those around you survive and successfully replicate. We have Emotional Reactions to these people when we encounter them.

Let’s say you’re walking down a busy street, and a man is coming the other way. You’re unlikely to even notice him. A stranger on a busy street is unlikely to affect your ability to survive and replicate at all.

But what if he stops you, and points a gun at you? How do you react? You’ll freeze up. You’ll clench your shoulders, and your heart will start to race. Your mouth will go dry, your voice tone will get higher, and you’ll start to speak more quickly. You’ll make poor, irrational decisions, and you’ll become hyper-aware of what you’re saying.

Where else might we find such a collection of symptoms?

When we’re talking to a girl much hotter than those we’re used to.

When confronted with a Goddess of epic, Nimbus-defying Glory, most guys start to get a little nervous. They might freeze up. They’ll start to close up their body language. Their brain starts to care about the outcome of the situation. It becomes overwhelmingly important to make a good impression on Turbo-Girl Deluxe, and they start to worry they won’t.

Stop.

Do you think the Brad Pitt of Passion feels that way around hot chicks? How hot, out of ten, would a chick have to be for Brad Pitt to get nervous around her? Ten? Eleven..? Fifteen…? And why? Because Brad Pitt has all the choice in the world.

Chode-Deluxe on the other hand, who has yet to feel the warm touch of a human woman, is in a slightly different situation, choice wise. How hot does a girl have to be for him to start getting nervous around her? 3? 4?

How nervous you are around a woman – that is, the degree to which you appear to be experiencing an Emotional Reaction around her – is a great indicator of if you’re fucking other girls as hot as her. Of if you have that choice in your life. If the unfakeable qualities and themes in your life, and the sum-total of your core value is worthy of her.

The nervous guy worries about what he’s saying. He tries to over-compensate. He talks too quickly. He worries about making a good impression. He worries about the outcome. The result? He telegraphs his low core value to the women he talks to, and finds himself always chasing them.

The RSD Knight of Glory is there for his own amusement. He’s not having an emotional reaction. He’s focusing on having fun and not trying to get anything from the girl. He’s not desperate for the value that she has to offer, and he’s comfortable moving girls around with a claw-like hand. He’s acting with power and dominance and he’s showing that he is entirely worthy. And as a result, the girls chase him.
