Interview
With the Confidence and Approaching Grandmaster, David Portney (as
interviewed by Nirvanos Deco)
David Portney is one of these men I really respect. He has been
in the background of a lot of movements about developing confidence
in guys and helping them master approaching. Yet he also happens
to be very modest and not get exposed to the spotlight. So I am
quite excited to have him here for this exclusive interview where
he reveal a TON of goodies on confidence, approaching and the community
in general.
Nirvanos Deco says: Now David. Thanks for Being here. I consider
you one of the top authorities when it comes to building confidence
in men, as well as defeating shyness. The interesting thing is you’re
not very known in this “pick up artists” and “seduction community”
world. But that’s a shame, because those guys could learn so much
good stuff from you.
Nirvanos Deco says: Now… I’ve heard some really really interesting
opinions from you about where society has gone, and how the rules
of the game have changed. Can you tell us more about that, and how
you see it affecting men and dating?
David Portney says: Thanks for having me, and thanks for your kind
words - you’re right that I don’t consider myself as part of the
“seduction community” because I don’t teach seduction per se.
And yes, things have changed over the years. The women’s liberation
movement, while overall a positive thing, has created an over-generalization
that “men and women are equal” - or even the same - and we’re just
not.
Our brains work differently, we want different things from each
other, and we behave very differently. Things, at least here in
the U.S., have become twisted and gender roles are not well defined….
Women now want to have a career, kids, community, time to themselves
- something has to give, no one can do all those things and do them
well. And, women don’t know how to give guys “signals” of interest,
they expect guys to just be bold, just be confident, and just come
over here and approach me.
Nirvanos Deco says: Some guys will argue there is nothing wrong
with that “you’re supposed to approach without signals anyway”.
David Portney says: In fact, I’m one of those guys I say approach
no matter what. Guys - ignore the crap in your head, and just approach.
Don’t wait for signals because
1. she probably won’t send you any and
2. you probably won’t recognize it if she did!
Nirvanos Deco says: True. There were some studies that showed that
men miss as much as 77% of all signals sent by women. And by “signals”
they defined as such those where the woman thought she was being
“obvious” and “too forward”
David Portney says: True - we are very different, we guys. We miss
the subtle signals women give, and the women think they’re being
obvious! Sometimes I’m amazed guy and gals get together at all!

women with confidence:
