Futuristic Words

Let us consider skin and whispers. Next weekend I’ll be back in my home state to teach a comprehensive bootcamp and the very first Love Systems Breakthrough Comfort course since August 20, 2007! (Sinn has taught it a few times since then, but I imagine his version and mine have take significant departures.) Since the course is on Monday at noon, I will be hammering on the presentation until Monday at 1100 to make it just-so. To my great joy, I’ve received extremely positive reactions from the women to whom I’ve described the course. Some Love Systems students want to make the beast with two backs with as many different partners as possible ad nauseum/ ad infinitum (whichever  comes first). For the most part, though, guys want to find That One Special Girl** but do so on their own terms and do so after they’ve attained some confidence that they’re not settling. Yes, yes, realistically they probably want to verify that said O.S.P.G. will occasionally agree to take off her clothes and travel a highway to ecstasy with another or multiple other Slightly Less Special Girls. That would fall more into Savoy’s Relationship Management course and, if it’s really important to you, should be a component of your qualification process. Breakthrough Comfort tends to function better when employed on a single woman due to the nature of the connection that develops.

Before that, of course, I will be teaching a workshop to the soundtrack of the Atlantic Ocean. Outside in New York, water is in the air, although it’s less drizzling and less pouring. The droplets are tiny and seem to fall in strips, so it looks like someone added film grain to this particular Saturday. It’s finally grown chilly, and real cold will be here soon. The summer was short and merciful. I suspect the winter will be punishing. As New Yorkers who don’t check the weather or hope against nature massage their triceps and swanky jackets make their glorious return to the night scene, it pleases me endlessly that I will be sweltering for the next week. Yes, dammit, I am  pleased to swelter! I could only be more pleased if I returned to New York to find that winter had come in earnest and I would again have to rub the salt from my boots and, as my ears singe from the bitter cold, know I am indeed alive because the moment hurts. People move to Los Angeles and San Diego to avoid such temperature extremes. Life is hard enough on its own. Mundis ex igne factus est.

If you’re reading this after wandering over from the LSi or you received an e-mail from me because you live in the Miami area, don’t delay. Take this workshop. Head over to our reviews and see for yourself: a Love Systems boot camp is a life changing experience. Fear of approach, fear of rejection, fear of holding yourself accountable for the quality of the women (of the other HUMANS) in your life. We address all these and show what’s possible, all in the course of three days and two nights. It’s going to be a blast.

ADDENDUM: I really like Windows Live Writer for writing and publishing blog posts. With a dropdown you can publish to any of your various online writing spaces—I also have a personal blog for nerd issues and comedy, as well as a private journal—and Writer cleverly displays the your blog’s page formatting, so you can see how any given post will show up on the page, WYSIWYG style.* For some people this might be immaterial, but I’m a big fan of working through a unified interface. Switching from Blogger to WordPress and composing in Notepad in case I don’t have access to the Intertubes is a pineapple in my ass. Writer is the best solution I’ve found for doing all my online writing in one place. Some of you might bristle

IOI, HMMWV, and WYSIWYG are initialisms. All of the above are different types of abbreviations. This language message is brought to you by the Don’t Be a Fucking Idiot Foundation For a Better Life.

This weekend was crammed with adventures in the land down under. The students seemed to get a lot of their experience in Sheriff’s boot camp, and I had some truly milestone mojo experiences. Some were more eventful than others.

This was one of the last classes I plan to use as a Breakthrough Comfort warm-up series; the material always hits with a bang, and I’m really excited about some of the newest developments toward actual implementation. When Sinn and I had our first eureka moment in Las Vegas, we instantly knew intuitively what switches had to be thrown in a pertinent interaction, but getting that to a teachable form was a hurdle I don’t think we ever successfully crossed when we were standing before audiences in 2007. The Golden Mirror is a tough concept for some guys to understand. I’d like to blame it on the bizarre fantasy novel name, but the truth is that it’s a bitch to teach guys how to render meaningful, honest compliments in a way that doesn’t betray neediness. We taught Style’s Elicitation of Values and gave examples of hard qualifying questions that would suit certain situations, but all the solutions felt like a crowbar.

This weekend, after much meditation and some hard discussions with Keychain, Big Business, and Sheriff, I think I finally fixed it.

I cannot wait to start sharing some of my observations with students.

I am remiss simply pimping my product. I am extremely excited to teach it, but here I must announce the same warning I attach to the beginning of the class itself: this is dangerous stuff, the raw clay of human emotions, so try to handle with care. The most common response I receive from guys who have taken the course is, “Holy shit, Future, that stuff is amazing, and it really works!” The second most common is, “Hey, Future, fuck you! That Breakthrough Comfort stuff worked, and it turns out that love hurts!”

You’ve been warned. I’ll be putting genuine seminar dates on the board in the next couple weeks.
