IN THIS EDITION: What kind of questions are you asking? Here's how
to make sure they're legit.
=====
NOT FOR CLOWNS
Okay, today I'm going to raise some hell about "clown questions".
You'll get my full take on the subject below.
But first, a confession.
Had you asked me if pheromones work about eight years ago I'd have
said, "That's a clown question, bro."
And I would have meant it. That's how I felt for years and years.
Then I was introduced to Dr. Virgil Amend, the man behind
Pheromone Advantage.
Being a Texan and all, I let him know point blank what my concerns
were. Frankly, I had always considered pheromones "snake oil".
His straightforward, composed response caught me completely off
guard.
"No problem at all", he said. "I hear that quite a bit, actually.
I'll have a sample bottle FedExed to you later this afternoon. The
only way to go is for you to try it yourself."
The next day I was holding a bottle of Pheromone Advantage in my
hand.
Several years ago when I first told you about Dr. Amend I shared
the whole story of what happened next.
To summarize, I secretly applied a bit of the stuff before a wine
tasting event my wife and I attended. She started exhibiting PDA
like she did when we were first married.
I went to the bank wearing the stuff and the girl who helped me
giggled and flirted a bit more than I'm used to seeing.
She then called me ten minutes after I left to remind me to look
for her the next time I "needed anything at all".
Then, the killer. I gave it to Emily's then 18-year-old son, who wore
it to school and came back with stories that made my jaw drop.
My bottle of Pheromone Advantage disappeared. When I got around to
asking him about it, there was about 10% of the stuff left.
Having seen enough evidence to prove me wrong (which sort of
delighted me, frankly), I held my breath and told you about it.
LOTS of you got your hands on some, including a number of guys on
my coaching program who I actually talk to LIVE and in person on a
regular basis.
A little bit of suspicion yet remained. I really wanted you guys to see
the results I had gotten.
Well, what do you know? There were rave reviews.
Some were over the phone. A few of them now appear in the
testimonial section on Dr.Amend's website.
The bottom line? Pheromone Advantage was fully expected NOT to
work, but the proof is undeniable that it DOES work for the vast
majority of guys who try it.
Guys who've gotten in on it already know this. Now it's time for
you to join them:
15% Off + Free Shipping & Pheromone Soap w/ Multi-Bottle Purchase
If you've already ordered some in the past, it's time to reload...
especially with the 15% off promo going on. You'll also get a
free bar of Pheromone Advantage body soap and FREE
shipping with any multi-bottle order.
Just use the coupon code "SCOT15" at checkout.
And if you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for?
Sure, this isn't going to replace being a "big four" man.
It WILL, however, perk women up around you just enough to get the
ball rolling where it may not have otherwise.

"THAT'S A CLOWN QUESTION, BRO"
I was recently reminded of this infamous moment:
2 Seconds On YouTube
Once pro baseball player Bryce Harper dropped that on an
unsuspecting reporter nearly nine years ago, a new catchphrase
was born instantly.
Along those lines, I've got a somewhat unfortunate bit of news for
you. Given the line of work I'm in, my inbox is not exactly immune
to clown questions.
But before I elaborate, let me be perfectly clear so as not to be
misunderstood.
I fully realize that guys come to me at various stages of their
journey to ultimate success with women. In the past I've been
pretty close to rock bottom myself.
So just about any legit question, no matter how basic, gets my full
respect.
The key word there is "legit".
If you want to get better with women, ask away. Expect answers
that will serve your goals.
On the other hand, ain't nobody got time for clown questions.
"Why don't you just admit that any guy under six-feet tall has no
chance with women, and that we're all doomed to a lifetime of
celibacy?"
That's a clown question, bro.
Why? Because you're asking me to buy into a firmly held limiting
belief that I demonstrate on a daily basis isn't true...at all.
"When Emily cheats on you and takes all your money two years from
now, whatcha gonna do then?"
That's a clown question, bro.
Schadenfreude will get you nowhere in the realm of those who
deserve what they want. And it's not attractive to women, either.
"What does a married guy know about dating?"
That's a clown question, bro.
Lots of dating oftentimes leads to a satisfying marriage. For what
it's worth, were I still single there would be those who cite THAT
as the reason why I must be clueless. Which is it?
And then there's this clown question about marriage itself:
"Why should I listen to a guy who'd saw his balls off at the
marriage altar like that?"
You may not want to get married. That's fine. I did, and it was
for all the right reasons, not the messed-up ones.
Your mileage may vary, and I prefer to see that as your prerogative
rather than imposing my values on you.
But here's my absolute favorite example of all time:
"So Scot, tell me...how do I stop a supermodel walking down the other
side of 5th Avenue in Manhattan and get her number? During rush
hour? While she's wearing headphones and walking her Rottweiler?
Actually, can you make that a group of eight supermodels at once?"
That's a clown question, bro.
For sheer entertainment's sake, I'll share with you what I
typically tell guys who ask me that question:
"I don't know. I've never stopped a group of eight supermodels
walking down the other side of 5th avenue during rush hour wearing
headphones and walking their respective Rottweilers."
Sometimes I add this:
"Then again, supermodels aren't my type. Plus, I'm allergic to
Rottweilers. And I don't go to New York City all that much."
Perhaps you're thinking that a more suitable answer might come in
the form of:
"Well, let's see. Backtrack at a pace just quickly enough to get
the job done without breaking a sweat, then cross the street
legally at the next crosswalk.
Once you've crossed the street, spot the mini-throng of supermodels
and their pets and approach directly in line of sight so as not to
alarm them.
When about fifteen feet away, stop and point to your ears as a
signal that you'd like them to remove their headphones.
Once they 'comply', speak boldly. 'Hello, I'm [name]. I couldn't
help but be intrigued by eight women walking together...all with
Rottweilers. So, how do you all know each other?'
Don't show any fear of the Rottweilers. Trust that the supermodels
will make it a point to corral their dogs without any drama."
But the logistically correct answer is beside the point.
Why?
Because the guy asking me the question has not been on a date with
a real, live woman in over a year and has never performed a cold
approach of any kind, even during homeroom period in high school.
Asking me to break down a more basic, common scenario would have
been fully legit.
But instead, either he's just testing me for the heck of it or he's
a lot like the guy who picks up an acoustic guitar for the first
time and asks how to play the solo from "Free Bird".
Either way, that makes it a clown question, bro...and that's also
what makes my actual answer the more appropriate one.
Think about it for a second. What do all these clown questions
have in common?
If you guessed, "they're not even remotely connected to a desire to
get better with women", give yourself a gold star.
What's more, most clown questions are rooted in some sort of
negative emotion.
Real answers to real questions are what we're all about around
here, and I trust you see that as a major positive.
You have my word that any books, programs, podcasts and
newsletters I work on for you will NOT kowtow to clown questions.
I'll keep focusing on the legit, "non-clown" questions exclusively.
That way, you can expect real solutions that deliver solid results.
