Why “just be yourself” works for them but not for you

For men who just want to get the girl without becoming someone they cringe at

Dating today is a complete mess for men.

You have the bluepill crowd who think that if you’re talkative and funny you must be getting laid all the time. The ones that just tell you to “be yourself”.


And you have the redpill pickup artists with their 800$ courses and “hidden techniques to hack a woman’s brain.” The ones that give you a play-by-play formula that makes your skin crawl.


I’m sure there are other colors too... like black for giving up, but let’s not go over that one. And if you’re anything like I was, you’ve tried a little of both… and neither worked.

The Great Divide

The split between guys who “get it” and guys who don’t.

The result? You’re still on the wrong side of The Great Divide — the split between guys who “get it” and guys who don’t.

On one side:

  • Guys who can be themselves and have dates falling into their lap
  • Guys that use the cheesiest lines you've ever heard and somehow get girls left and right
  • Guys who say “just be yourself” because they honestly don’t know why it works for them and not for you

On the other side:

  • Guys who overthink every interaction and can hardly get a word out
  • Guys who get told “But you’re so funny/charming/handsome” as if that helps
  • Guys who keep coming off as creepy despite good intentions and their best efforts

And no, despite what everyone will tell you, it's not looks, it's not money and it's not fame.

I have crossed this great divide without changing physically, getting any richer (I quit my job if anything) or showing my face online in any way.

I remember where I came from.

The difference between me and another “guy that gets it” who will tell you to “talk to them like they’re human beings” or “be yourself” is… I remember where I came from.

I'm no pickup artist or dating guru, but I'm someone who started out as a complete dating moron. Think: “Mentioning marriage on a second date because I grew up Muslim and then rightly getting dropped like a sack of bricks” level of moron.

I hadn't started dating anyone till I was 22, I was a brown kid in Japan, and I barely even spoke the language. I had 0 social skills and could barely hold eye contact with a cashier. I was the kid that didn’t notice COVID happened because I was busy playing video games and watching shorts.

I absolutely did NOT “get it”

And I too, bought the idea that you either “got it” and so you can be your wonderful, neurotypical, charismatic self.

Or you don’t, so you need hundreds of techniques, or better looks or to copy people who “got it”

But now I see another way.

Not “just be yourself.”

Not “hit the gym” (my looks barely changed from when I started).

And DEFINITELY not some 300-page PDF full of “secret techniques” to “hack a woman’s brain.”

I present to you: the Subtraction Method

The Subtraction Method includes 0 of the following:

  • Pickup lines
  • Formulas
  • Example scenarios
  • “Do this” style advice

What it does include is:

  • A 20-page PDF that will give you the 20% responsible for 80% of your dating success.
  • The common traps that KILL your ability to be authentic or attractive
  • And how to shift each of these beliefs to make flirtation EASY

Because the core idea of the Subtraction Method is this:

Flirting is not something you learn, it is what happens naturally when you unlearn what gets in its way

After finding this “bridge”...

After finding this “bridge” I have had zero issues with dating or social situations in general. I can get as many dates as I want online or in person, and I had to reject girls to focus on my girlfriend — who loves me and who I love. All my guy friends ask me for dating advice, and some of my girl friends too.

It may sound too good to be true. "What do you mean I just have to change a few ideas, and flirting will be easy"?

But let me show you why it works with a thought experiment. First, let me ask you: How do you walk?

Well, the technical answer is:

Human locomotion, particularly bipedal ambulation, constitutes a highly intricate, temporally synchronized cascade of myoelectrical activations and biomechanical oscillations wherein neuromuscular substrates, proprioceptive feedback loops, and segmental inertia coalesce to produce cyclical propulsion across a gravitational plane. During the stance phase (~60% of the gait cycle), initial contact is mediated via controlled eccentric contraction of the tibialis anterior to facilitate dorsiflexion deceleration, while synergistic coactivation of the gluteus maximus and biceps femoris posteriorly anchor the femur against excessive anterior translation. Concurrently, the quadriceps femoris—primarily vastus medialis and lateralis—undergo concentric engagement to stabilize knee extension, while the contralateral gluteus medius and minimus exert abduction torque to prevent contralateral pelvic drop, governed by lateral hip joint kinetics. As the body's center of mass translocates anteromedially, the triceps surae complex (i.e., gastrocnemius and soleus) initiates controlled plantarflexion via isometric-to-concentric transition to induce propulsive ground reaction forces during pre-swing. Simultaneously, digital flexors and intrinsic foot musculature engage in metatarsophalangeal flexion to augment toe-off kinematics.Transitioning to swing phase (~40%), the iliopsoas complex, in conjunction with the rectus femoris, rapidly accelerates hip flexion to generate ipsilateral limb clearance, whilst the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and short head of the biceps femoris facilitate passive knee flexion via inertial drag. The tibialis anterior maintains tonic dorsiflexion to circumvent unintentional toe-ground collision (i.e., foot drop), regulated via peroneal nerve innervation. In terminal swing, a complex interplay between eccentric hamstring activation and anticipatory quadriceps recruitment ensues to decelerate limb trajectory and preposition the limb for ensuing ground contact, necessitating exquisitely timed cortical-spinal integration and cerebellar calibration.Overlaying this entire choreography is a superimposed layer of autonomic and volitional motor control wherein the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and cortical motor areas engage in constant recalibration via afferent proprioceptive inputs, vestibular stabilization, and somatosensory integration to adapt to perturbations and optimize energy efficiency across locomotor cycles. This process is further modulated by spinal central pattern generators (CPGs), which autonomously orchestrate rhythmic muscular output absent of supraspinal command in reflexive or habituated ambulation.

That monstrosity is 428 words, and I will spare you the details.

But if you were to explain it to someone you’d just say

“You put one foot in front of the other”

THAT is what the guys that “get it” feel like when you ask them how to flirt. They COULD go into a long spiel with an impossibly large number of variables, but that won’t get anyone anywhere.

The long spiel is what the pickup artists do. They give you a long list of techniques, and then they tell you to practice them like a robot.

But the guys that "get it" don't need all that do they?

Their body already knows what to do. And yours does too. It is as engrained in you as walking is. You've had just as much time to evolve as all the guys that "get it".

And unless you can tap into this “natural charisma,” the best you can hope for is a prison of your own making anyways — where you have to keep performing. If you can’t flirt smoothly, in your own voice, at your own pace, there will be no point.

Men have been walking for hundreds of thousands of years without guides. They’ve also been flirting with women for hundreds of thousands of years without guides. All through various terrain and various cultural climates.

And as long as nothing gets in the way, people learn how to walk all on their own.

So, if you "don't get it", it's not because you "don't know how" but because there is something getting in the way

For walking, it's usually injury or illness. For flirting, it's usually beliefs. Painfully common and mainstream ones too...

And this is what I offer you in this guide: What the most common obstacles are, and how to get rid of them so you can unlock your natural, authentic and effortless charisma. It will literally be as easy as walking for you. YOU will be the one telling people to “be themselves” afterwards!

This is why I promise a transformation. The amount of time and effort it takes to get better at dating after losing these shackles is an invisible fraction next to all the effort you would waste looking for how to navigate it in spite of them.

Smooth the ground, don’t learn every crevice

You’re learning to ride a bike, but it’s on jagged ground.

The pickup artist will say: “Let me teach you how to get past every crevice.”

I will instead just remove the jagged ground so you can have a smooth ride.

Is this you?

  • Tired of “not getting it”
  • Tired of that skin-crawly feeling that comes from copying someone else’s style
  • Tired of worrying that the girls you’re meeting (or not meeting) will not even see and love the “real you” after all the disguises you learn to wear
