Dating Tips For Men: Improving Your Calibration
by Julian Foxx
I always hear a lot of men talk about calibration. It is even one of the most talked-about topic in some dating tips for men.
But what does calibration REALLY mean in relation to dating?
You can open the dictionary or simply hit the google search button and easily look for a dozen different definitions of the word.
But there's a certain meaning that the pickup artist should put in mind:
cal·i·brate [kal-uh-breyt] -verb
-to determine the correct range for (an artillery gun, mortar, etc.) by observing where the fired projectile hits.
Please read that again because it is a perfect analogy for what we are trying to accomplish in a seduction.
Every guru and their mother make reference to calibration but tend to be extremely vague when talking about how to IMPROVE IT.
I've heard all sorts of crap, everything from "You just have to practice more" to "Calibration can't be taught, that's why naturals are naturals."
Such bullshit. If I could put a sound effect in right now it would be that annoying buzzer from Family Feud.
Of course calibration can be improved! And I'm going to show you a technique that will do it. This dating advice is called:
'Imaginary Action Reversal'
In a nutshell it's quite simple...
Before you start down a risky conversational topic, send a text message, make a phone call, go in for the kiss, or any other assortment of actions you might take with a woman, it is useful to IMAGINE that whatever you are about to do...she does to you instead!
Then ask yourself:
"Did I just get MORE attracted or LESS attracted to her?"
And finally, allow your intuitive response to guide your decision whether or not to make the move.
Think about it...
Who is the best judge you have to determine if an action is 'attractive' or not?
You guessed it, it's YOU.
I know men are from Mars and woman are from Jupiter or whatever, but we sure got a lot of things in common and one of those things is definitely attraction.
Behavior that normally turns me off, usually turns a woman off. And behavior that normally turns me on, usually turns a woman on.
We are not as different as society has us believe.
Here is a quick wrap-up of the steps you need to do if you want to take your own calibration to the next level:
1. You get an impulse to say or do something that relates to her
2. You imagine HER saying or doing it to YOU
3. You pay attention to your own emotional response (to the image) and let the quality of your response determine whether or not you go through with the action.
Easy as Pie.
Practicing this exercise is simple, fun, and an amazingly effective way of developing pin-point calibration.
Have fun,
Julian
PS: Depending on the situation, the amount of TIME you have to use the technique is a factor. You don't want to interrupt the flow of a good conversation if you don't have to.
Just be confident that the more comfortable you become with Imaginary Action Reversal, the faster you will get, and eventually it will become something you are always subliminally aware of.
