I think the struggle with selling this to day gamers is to be a bit expected because, due to the cold approach and short interaction time typically involved in day game, a girl will perceive the invitation to hang out as intent, because for most men it would be. This is especially true for 1-on-1 scenarios. I think it's easier to sell the idea for approaching a group of women, "You all seem fun, we should hang out some time" feels less intentful when talking to a group. For 1-on-1 it might be easier to sell if you have a warm approach through some repeated contact, same class, grocery store, coffee shop, part of shared interest group, etc. So she's already part way in your social sphere, just not in your social circle yet.

Compliance is anytime a woman follows your lead, complies with a direction, or tries to win your approval. A couple of weeks a ago, I teased a girl about her posture a few times, and each time she made a show of correcting it. Even something as simple as that is an small sign of compliance. I'm not far into the training, so unfortunately I can't comment on the funnel part.

@Jacob Smith Yes, it's best to start small and then work your way up. I've heard people refer to it as a "yes ladder" which I believe is a term used in sales.

@Vincent Sullivan The two easiest gains I've found for presence are style and posture, with posture even trumping style. People have notoriously bad posture or display timid posture nowadays. You want your posture to say confident and authoritative but still approachable. Too many men when they try to do confident posture, they also project intimidating. Merely sitting up straight in your chair and keeping your head looking straight forward makes a world of difference, so when you turn to talk to someone turn your whole body. Getting into good shape really helps your posture and farmers' carry is a great exercise. Also, try to learn to go without your phone for a hour or two or just glancing evey 20-30 min. Looking at your phone places you in bad posture. Martial arts are also great for posture. For style, you really should learn to dress for the location and occasion. It's not always about going more formal. In the photo I attached, I got more attention than men dressed in blazers and suits but also the men in t-shirts or polos and jeans. I was at a cocktail lounge frequented by university and college students. To pull this off, it's best to become a regular (familiar environment as Mike says), but let's say you're travelling, it's better to upscale it a bit, because it's easier to dress something down by taking off a jacket and tie than to dress something up. Basically you want to looked elevated without looking like you're trying to impress. Unique touches also help. For instance I replaced baseball hats with flat caps in the winter and trilbys in the summer. I learned a of my style from Real Men Real Style on YouTube. What I meant about stoicism was not being easily impressed, not looking around all the time seeking for someone to start a conversation with, and not immediately starting a conversation with someone who comes near you. Learn to enjoy and be comfortable sitting quietly in your own thoughts without needing to be constantly entertained through conversation or your phone. If someone enters your sphere, wait for them to say or do something that warrants a response or a joke / tease (let them open you, even unintentionally).

@Guillermo Ortiz check my reply to Vincent above.

I'd say that if a person, man or women, isn't following your lead, it has more to do with you not having solidly established the frame of leader. Women without strong father figures are looking for STRONG male leaders. That's what daddy issues actually are. Outside of the military context, where you're expected to follow a leader regardless of if they've demonstrated their leadership quality explicitly to you or not, people will only defer to your lead if you have DEMONSTRATED, in some way that you deserve to be followed. It doesn't need to be valid or logical. It could even just be your presence. Buy they need to FEEL, that you're WORTHY of the trust they're giving in order to follow. A lot of modern men aren't up to the task of leadership these days.

@Alex Khar It probably didn't come across well with my choice of wording. When I said "strong" I wasn't referring to the quality of the man, more his dominant presence and particularly and daddy issues as a girl's attraction for a substantially older man. Yes, some young women (say under 25) without daddy issues are into older men, but a lot have them. I agree that women tend to marry men similar to their fathers for good or ill but, if a woman lacked a man of strong leadership as a child, she craves that in her teens and 20s. That's why it's easier for charismatic men to prey on women in that age group who didn't have a father figure who led well.

I teach in highschools and the university in a small city, and here the drinking age is 19 and most of the women who go out are mid 20s and younger. Walking up to young woman after young woman is not a good look for a 46 year old teacher, so I need to "approach" a bit differently. Rather than walking up to women, I position myself in areas that drive women to me (the bar, the entrance to the dance floor, the path towards the washroom, etc). I am then in a position to overhear conversations and tease or interject something or "accidentally" bump into them and start the conversation with a polite apology. I've had quite a bit of luck with this, and because I don't open with intent, it's very easy to friendzone the girls to build the circle.
