You've got game

John Calub wears a watch on both of his wrists. When I asked if this was the result of obsessive-compulsive behavior, John smirked and shrugged his shoulders. “I use this one with the ladies,” he said while pointing to his left wrist.

“One watch is my time for business,” he added. Then he pointed to the watch on his right wrist. “And this watch is my time for you.”

John knows how to lay down the cheese pretty thick.

But you know what? According to John, personal experience has shown him that women really like the cheese.

John is a motivational speaker who teaches the skills of attraction and persuasion around the country to salespeople, aspiring multimillionaires and government officials. But this time around, he is harnessing all of these skills for charity: he is teaching the No Girlfriends Since Birth (NGSBs) and the DOMs how to use persuasion techniques to find the women of their dreams (because that is usually the only place where they can find women).

For the sake of the NGSBs and DOMs who may soon become extinct, I sat down with John and persuaded him to discuss how a bald head attracts the opposite sex, how to reprogram your looks and how to make good use of your old men’s magazines.

SEX SYMBOL

RJ LEDESMA: These persuasion skills that you teach people, does it require the use of mind-altering drugs, mass hypnosis or blue ribbon investigations?

JOHN CALUB: Wala naman (Not really). (Laughs)

So why are you gifted with the mutant powers of persuasion? What were you in your previous life? A pastor? A CIA agent? An insurance salesman? 

Maybe I was a woman before, I was the one getting picked up. (Laughs)

That might explain the sagging man breasts. 

I think I was born with these persuasion skills. It came naturally to me.

Like an abomination of nature.

Let me rephrase that: I was a natural in terms of using my persuasion skills for business. But when it came to women, there were a lot of things that I still had to develop.

Like what? Descended testicles?

I had to lose more my hair! In fact, girls became even more attracted when I became bald!

There must be something sexy about reflective surfaces.

They say it’s because my bald head resembles a phallic symbol. There are a lot of pickup artists who say they date a lot of women. But I would ask them, who have you dated? You know me naman, RJ.

 I know you and your NBI record only too well.

You’ve met some of the girls I’ve dated — actresses, models, beauty queens. I think it’s more of the quality than the quantity.

Dating that many women probably comes along with being a phallic symbol.

GAME BOY

Let’s talk about the best persuasion techniques you teach to attract the opposite sex which have not yet been classified as criminal acts.

We teach people two things: The inner game and the outer game. That is having a mindset ready to attract women whenever you want. But it can’t be all about the mindset. When you finally attract the woman that you have always wanted to meet, what do you do, what do you say?

According to standup comic Tim Tayag, the appropriate thing to say is “How much?”

That is your outer game. To be successful in meeting women, you have to be good at both your inner game (mindset) and outer game (skills).

The only game that most of these NGSBs are good at is Solitaire. 

Let’s start with the inner game. Inner game is basically your “mental programming” when it comes to women. A large part of our programming comes from our high school years. Remember how the beautiful girls only went for all these varsity players? Most of us ordinary guys had the mental programming that “I look like this. I’m not the sporty, muscleman guy in school.” As a result, your self-image decreased in your own eyes. This created a block in their mindset of “I won’t be able to attract women because I’m not as good looking as these athletes.” 

Stop, John. Please stop. The memories are just too painful.

But in an international survey, we discovered that women don’t judge men based on their looks, but rather on their confidence: how you look at yourself, how you love yourself.

NGSB chuwariwap: I know how to love myself!

If you are confident, that is what women are look for. You might even be surprised. In terms of looks, women sometimes even look for panget (ugly) men…

The Legion of DOMs: May pag-asa pa kami (We still have hope)!

…So the more panget you are, the easier to get women.

Sam Milby must be a lonely, lonely man.

That’s because these women have their own set of insecurities. Their programming is that if the man is too handsome, they will leave her for another woman.

Andrew E must have his own harem.

The mind works like a computer: garbage in, garbage out. So whatever you program into your mind, that is what comes out in reality. So the first thing you do is…

Reboot your mind with a lobotomy?

You program your mind through pictures. The mind thinks in images. The easiest way to program your mind to attract beautiful women is to cut out pictures of beautiful women.

NGSB chuwariwap: Does it matter from what magazine they come from? Or if the pages are stuck together?

Post all of these pictures on illustration board and look at them before you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. The reason behind this is that your subconscious mind is open within a 40-minute period before you go to bed at night and when you get up in the morning. So you are highly programmable at that time.

Are you sure these pictures are only meant to be used for mental programming? Those NGSBs could use those pictures for other nocturnal activities that are frowned upon by the Catholic church.

If you wake up in the morning and look at ugly stuff, that is what you are going to attract in your life. When you watch videos, watch only videos that show beautiful women.

NGSB chuwariwap: Are these the type of movies that you can watch with your doors locked or unlocked?

Whatever you see gets registered in your subconscious and that is what you actually attract in your life. That is your inner game.

And I know that a lot of NGSBs like to play that game solo.

There is also “self-talk” because you always have to affirm what you want.

And how is this different from schizophrenia?

When you look at the mirror, what do you say yourself? Do you say “Why is my hair turning white?” or “Why is my nose so big?” You are putting yourself down.

My mirror lies.

So what you should do is affirm yourself in front of the mirror daily by saying “Every day, in every way, I am becoming younger and younger and younger.” Or “Women are being attracted me naturally.”

And try not to laugh at yourself while doing it.

Or “I am I am always attracting the kind of love that I desire.” Say that over and over to yourself. That is your inner game.

So one day you can affirm yourself into a pair of six-pack abs, a rug of chest hair and Andrew E looks. Are you sure this is not schizophrenia?

Once you fix your inner game, women will be attracted to you like a powerful magnet.

Maybe this is just your personal experience, John? Perhaps your bald head has turned into an electromagnet?

All of a sudden you will find those beautiful women beside you in a bar. 

So these are real women ha? Not just pictures of beautiful women in a bar?

This requires skills. One of these skills is the “Three-Second Rule.” If you see that beautiful lady in an elevator or in a bar, at the count of three you have to… 

NGSB chuwariwap: Run?

…Make a move. If you still have to think about it, you allow your conscious mind to get stuck on the thought, “Can I get to really know this lady?” Then your body will be paralyzed. So nothing is going to happen to you. If your intuition tells you that this is what you have attracted, then, game! Approach her and start talking. 

So it is always better to make that move while your mind is unconscious. Got it.

Here’s another technique. When you are talking to a beautiful woman, the way that you are going to get your suggestions into her head is by bypassing her conscious mind. The conscious mind is guarding the subconscious of that person. The subconscious is the seat of your memory. That is your programming that moves you body into action. What we want to do when we are speaking to a woman is to use “covert conversational persuasion.”

Are you sure you didn’t work for the CIA in a previous life?

You need to put the woman you are talking to in a relaxed state of mind. Then, whatever suggestions you put in the conversation are easily accepted without any barriers.

What if her relaxed state requires you to be 500 miles away from her?

For example, when you talk with a woman, converse with her normally.

NGSB chuwariwap: There is a normal way to talk to women?

At a certain point of the conversation, start talking about relaxing places. For example, “I remember strolling down the white sand beaches at Amanpulo, the waves of the ocean touching my feet…”

As you describe that imaginary beach, does that muscle-bound varsity player from high school enter the frame and kick imaginary sand in your face?

Once you put the conversation in that mode, the woman’s mind will relax. Then you can insert suggestions that the subconscious mind will recognize. When making suggestions, you lower the tone of your voice with each suggestion that you give.

Why do you lower your voice? To impress her with the amount of testosterone that you have raging through your system?

When you lower your voice in a specific pattern, the subconscious recognizes this as a set of instructions and will accept these suggestions easily. For example, you say “You know what, whenever I am talking to you and I get the feeling that you… like… me. It sends shivers down my spine.”

My yaya is shivering as you speak.

When I lowered my tone in that portion of the conversation, I was actually inserting the command “You like me.”

So when you speak slowly, her subconscious mind will pick this up as a suggestion rather than a learning disability? 

If you keep repeating these commands over and over again while the woman is in a relaxed state, she will end up responding and will find a way to show it to you.

John, for some strange reason, I am starting to find your bald head incredibly attractive.
