How To Seduce Someone With Confidence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2024
- The secret of good seduction is not to idealise the person we are trying to get together with. They are - ultimately - still just another human being, whom we would in time get very irritated with if the seduction worked as well as we want. That is a thought to lend us confidence.

“We are never as shy and gauche as we are when attempting to seduce someone we deeply like. The thought of someone this perfect coming to take an interest in us seems at once tantalizing and entirely implausible. We develop vertigo and, too often, fall. Behind our insecurity lie two conjoined fears: that we are exceptionally awful. And that the beloved is exceptionally perfect. Both ideas are hugely destructive - and false…”

"We are idiots now, we have been idiots in the past, and we will be idiots again in the future... There aren't any other available options for human being" The School of Life 2017
Razvan Pavel well it is true haha. The smartest man in the world is an idiot about something. We will never be able to attain every bit of knowledge.
gainpro if you think they are a bitch with a nasty ass than what are you bothering with them for? It's fairly likely that they detect your attitude even if you don't think anyone possibly could or even if you think you aren't the one with the attitude but rather everyone else is. We women have a great 6th sense about these things and life is hard enough without getting with someone who secretly denegrates us because they are jealous of our perceived physical perfection and erroneously perceived attitude.
I'd rather cut off some of my digits than get with someone who will inadvertently degrade my self esteem because they don't realize how fragile it is up against false preconceived notions about me. Not saying I'm one of those perfect women because I'm not, I'm just saying how I feel as a woman.
At the same time I'd give those digits to find someone who just legitimately thinks I'm worthy and rather than tear me down a little bit accidentally each day could build me up a little bit accidentally each day. I wouldn't care about incidentals such as income or looks or really much of anything else shallow if we had that most precious gift humanity can acquire or give to one another which is genuine trust and friendship, love and cameradery (sp?).
Basically, personality
nothing could be closer to the truth
Fuck Allen the bald
So in other words... Everyone's an idiot and if you embarrass yourself trying, at least you're trying.. Therefore standing out to everyone else pretty much coming across as confident. I love it.
Broly nice way of looking at it :)
Broly good comment C:
Well, if you're not afraid of embarrassing yourself, that is a kind of confidence.
Broly it's just accepting yourself flaws and all and accepting others and seeing them as also magnificent but flawed like yourself. Easy concept but deceptively hard to make work if you think you are not so great. I love it and it is the answer, but it's just not always easy to change an ingrained hard wired response about yourself.

This was great, been searching for "ways to seduce a girl" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Maemerly Lusty Principle - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.

That's not necessarily true, it's more about balancing two ideals in your head. To think that someone is perfect, is just as laughable. If anything, the idea that a person will be wrong for us, is a much more realistic outcome to keep in mind. After all, falling in love is a common occurrence in our lives, while staying in love for years is a rarity, only associated with one or two people.
+Nanadaime Hokage that would be the most exceptionally true proposal 😂😂😂
Ahahaha. XD That was hilarious!
Honestly, I get that we're all enjoying how cynical a lot of this video is but this really gave me a lot of confidence in myself. I'm dealing with an intense crush on a girl right now, and this video helped me by making me see her as not some divine goddess of beauty so far above me she could destroy me with a sentence but just as a normal human being who has her own flaws and insecurities, just like me- and in doing so made me a lot more confident about talking to her and potentially dating her. Thanks a lot, School of Life!
When I have this problem, and I am serious, it helps to remember that no matter how beautiful and smart and incredible she might seem, that girl also...poops. Just like me, and every other human that lived. Its something so basic and primordial and true, and is this basic human fact that reminds me to extrapolate that to the rest of her humanity. A bit scatological but effective, lol.
César Andrade pretty girls dont poop
TheBritAvenger good for you
Any update on that girl?
Just gotta know she’s human too. She poops and probably eats messy. Only thing that she has that makes you feel uneasy is her LOOKs. If you accept that, everything will be fine. I learned that “Man can’t talk to a goddess, only Man to Women”
Long story short--Don't take everything so seriously.
TLDW (too long didn't watch) haha
Sometimes School of Life can be awfully verbose. I keep thinking ‘so what’s your point? Can you get to it?’ It’s like waiting for Honey to finish pouring out of a jar.

@@etinarcadiaego7424 Yeah but then it ends and you return to face it yourself or worse it slowly corrodes and maddens you
Here are tips from a therapist:
1. Build your sense of Self.
2. Map what you do well and what you could do better.
3. Remember that we tend to be our own worst enemies.
4. Compare yourself to others fairly, both in good and bad. Or then don't do it at all.
5. Recognize your Self worth and value, learn to forgive yourself and love yourself.
6. No person is perfect. Making mistakes is okay and you can grow from them.
7. Accept and understand that not everyone will appreciate you, and that is okay.
8. Be comfortable in your own skin, don't act a play, be authentic and trust yourself.
9. Teach yourself how to initiate, have and hold conversations in front of mirror etc.
10. Effort always wins. You can read who is genuinely interested and who is not.
Ugh

School of life's nightmarish animations are one of the chanel's main themes
And it wouldn't surprise me if they have some Philosophical argument to back that
LOL!!!!!! Best comment ever ^_^
Super cringy 💀😂
Lmao. That's what makes it unique I guess. The way it is absurdly made is so fascinating that it's easier to understand the message but meaningful at the same time.
Women care far less about what you look like and far more about who you are. If you are empathetic, even tempered, confident, and kind, you will have women going after you. A woman feels most secure around a person who has self control.
John Williams also reliable
Real women
Semper Reformanda thats like saying men love massive tits/asses. True but its just a bonus on top of the other really important stuff like sensuality, fitting your particular tastes etc.
Really? Most Ik these days claim all men are sexist, white especially privileged, and that men are biologically unneeded now.
Empathy? Even temper? Kindness? Bollocks! Women aren't interested in that. They want someone who is fun, exciting, and can make them feel desirable. It helps to have some ambition too.
Who else here puts every person they like on a pedestal? Lol

I'm 43, it took about 20 years from young adulthood to learn this very valuable and comforting lesson. I'm so glad that SOL is here to help people learn sooner than I did 🦉
That is quite amazing, I’m 23 suffering from crippling anxiety but I’m grateful for the tools I am blessed with thanks to this comment
What makes this channel different is the vocabulary of words used and the narration style being reinforced with an interesting accent.
"Hey girl, do you play minecraft?"
Don't beat around the bush gentleman.
Minecraft itself is a cool game - only the community around it destroys the image...like any community of any game.

Hahah Minecraft players are little girls or annoying kids
hell yeah I do baby
This was about approaching people with confidence, but it wasn't about seducing someone with confidence. Confident people fail to seduce others and get shot down all of the time. Seduction is a much, MUCH more complicated mating dance than simply being confident.
if you want details, read the Art of Seduction! Its amazing
Really?.....ok
That explains why „tell me about your inner idiot“ never seems to work as a pickup line, dangit, stop taking dating cues from the school of life 😂😂😂
@@mujdahakime2345 Hate that book
@@zain5496 why do you hate it? I just heard about it recently
Sounds more like "understanding that no one is perfect and they can do weird things just like you"
Janelle Gardner They also do the same gross things you do. We all fart, piss, belch, shit, bleed, smell awful sometimes, leave pubes in the shower drain etc. I think that part of the reason the US has such a high divorce rate is because people are sold on the idea of the perfect partner who exists to fulfill all of one's wants and desires. The truth is ugly and complex, but at least it is reality. Embrace the idea that no one can complete you. You will never be complete because your identity is always changing and evolving.
I try thinking all that, but for some reason it does not lessen my infatuation one bit.
i came here to suduce my crush...
now i kniw the meaning of life and relationships
😂😂😂😂
7 years later, do you still apply these lessons to your life? 🧬
How do you guys always know what i need right now 😂
Because what they show is what we need all the time ;))
ImNightz holy shit, me too.
Your life must be a rollercoaster if every video comes at a time that you need it.
5 keys to be more confident - Write out your achievement, Be prepared, Be positive, Don't accept failure & Change your body language.
Cuz they know what they need right now..
I gain more confidence every time I watch one of the videos on this channel
i like watching these on LSD
Sweet old meme i don't need sld.
I'm a glass if orange juice.
Sweet old meme got some?
How to waste tabs. Get off your computer and go in nature, explore! 😂
Sweet old meme I find myself not being able to click off youtube once I open it while tweaking
these videos are more education than 30 years of life, delivered in wonderful 5 minute doses. incredible.
I feel more relaxed and less anxiety after watch this. I usually put women on a pedestal but this was really deep and helpful.
"Conclude that we are no more awful than the next soul". Made me laugh! But interesting video, as always :)
Video says we're all idiots. That makes me happy
Good point. We're all humans, with flaws and strengths of our own. What's more important is being able to make peace with ourselves and do our best; and then, eventually, with others.
I love how the animation in this video tell so much more than the texts. Despite looking somewhat eerie at first, it turns out to be fabulously meaningful! :')
I appreciate this approach that instead of seeing eachother as divine perfection, we should accept our shittyness and move on. One act of embarrassment is not going to change our thoughts anyways. It reminds me very much of my boyfriend, who sees me as a goddess and I wasn't able to comprehend what's so special about me since I suffer from depression, anxiety and many more flaws. And yet, he sticks around with me and sometimes calls himself a nut job. We both have our insecurities but they don't define us in the end. The times we laugh at our foolishness or clumsiness brings us closer together.
This gives me hope for myself, Kathy-Lee, because I too have experienced depression and anxiety that seems to take away my personality and ability to be functional. Hopefully, that will shift and I'll be able to be in a healthy romantic relationship ☺️
Brilliant animation, so symbolic of what is being said
Oh my god. "Don't try too hard, because you are a pathetic cretin, and you will one day realise that they are too. And even if you do successfully overcome this embarrassing date and have the partner of your choosing, you will both one day end up miserable and regretting ever forming such a relationship to begin with." That is the summary of this lesson. I can't breathe.
Zozo G. Nix You are missing the point. You should always try your best but you will never reach perfection. It doesn't exist. You will never overcome all pain, you will never live forever. You will truly escape the human condition. If people would stop wasting energy on hiding all flaws and imperfections from others, they could use it to simply enjoy life while they can.
This animation is exceptionally original and pleasing. Hoping for more like this.
Damn, this video really speaks a lot of truths I recently this past year realized about myself and my relation to those I find to be almost too perfect for this world compared to my own. Watching this made me feel extremely proud I was able to get past this facade and treat them with the same level of integrity as anyone one else is deserving of receiving.
I love the underlining messages about being a human being in these videos, the title is a mere pretext for the large message, and the larger message is so beautiful
I love the art in this video! Kudos to the artist or artists who worked on it. Great advice too.
i love this one. philosophical, humorous, realistic... and the animation was awesome as well. nice work.
Hahaha...I absolutely love this! I'm an idiot and I LOVE it....
Perfection is a lie. I don't want perfection! If something or someone is perfect then there's nothing left. Not a single thing! Perfection only brings despair
I came here cause I have a crush. Now I have depression but also a slightly more humane view of that crush
What a weird and beautiful animation.
the middle of this is taken directly out of one of your old videos
Can I seduce someone with my crippling insecurities instead?
--Asking for a friend.
MrImalandshark You don't ignore or deny insecurities, you just work to better cope with them. No one is utterly free of insecurity. What matters is how you choose to deal with them.
vulnerability is said to be a hugely attractive trait. insecurities are the wellspring of vulnerability.
I love the way people were depicted in this episode. It’s almost the same as I see everyone when I’m high
Besides the amazing content, the animation of this video is fascinating and deserves an award ❤❤
This is the first of your videos that I watched only once and completely understood
The cloud person is my spirit animal
Wow! The animation in this was exceptionally beautiful for some reason :)
love this channel and the genius that's Alain de Botton!!
This is encouraging and at the same time makes me not want to date anyone ever again.
If this isnt my favorite video by you guys i dont know what is. So beautifully witty and so terribly relevant, while being amazingly captivating at the same time. I dont know what im blabbing on about, but that touched a string.... thank you
This animation and storytelling is sooo well done
lol I can't decide how to take the title. Is the video about seducing someone while having confidence...or seducing someone with confidence itself! lol so many questions
Jackal Unleashed it's about having confidence in yourself and not being nervous
Jackal Unleashed Perhaps it's both, but I feel like it's more the latter in this case
In the title it also doesn't specify if you have the confidence or you are trying to seduce a confident person. :D
ImmaterialDigression that's pretty cool too! :)
Don't take anything at all, except maybe the D

I knew a very wise man once, an older African American gentleman who worked where I did. Every morning we all gathered in the break room to drink a cup or two of bad coffee and see who would amuse us the most before the day got started.
This guy used to sit at the same spot slowly sipping from that tiny little vending machine cup in his huge hands. Most of the time he sat quietly until a momentary inspiration hit him. I remember once when his big head just rose up, eyes still glued to the little cup.
In his highly accented southern voice - this was in South Carolina - he deeply intoned, "The first thing you gotta do if you wants something," he said, "is axe for it." What a perfect observation for people like me who delay and plan and worry and wait until the time is juuuust riiight... and then it's: "O, Hell... I missed it." He was brilliant.
Reminds me of the guy digging a long ditch, shovelful after shovelful, while some other little guy kept running around scowling and taking measurements and making notes. Finally, the little guy spoke up, "Hey, you're doing it all wrong, I've got an easier way figured out." "Well," the first guy says looking back at the 20 or thirty yards he'd dug up that morning. "All I know is I got all this dug up so far... how well's that plan you been figurin' out working for you?
Enough said.
I'll leave you with a bit Mark Twain said: if you gotta eat a frog, do it first thing in the morning. If you got two, eat the big one first.
The animation is awesome, very funny :')
I think it's more helpful for confidence to acknowledge that most people are pretty normal, but not that normality is inherently foolish or inept or that you should expect unhappiness for most the time in relationships. You are on equal ground with most people you interact with, not that we're all on the equal ground of being basically despicable.
So basically what Rick has been serving. No one special and we're all just particles floating. So make the best of it I guess.
Some Guy Yep, life is suffering and we are all going to die. Existence is absurd and pointless and we all take shits lol it sounds mean, but ALWAYS look for flaws and things you dislike in your date to avoid putting them on a pedestal. They, like us, are profoundly broken people living in a fallen world. "We are made from broken parts."
Oml I just have to say I love School of Life videos and their exceptional story telling devices. Genius has never found a means of expression like this. Golden 💎❤️
Just dont give a thought what they think...thats their problem...if someone dont love you for whoever you are then they are not right for YOU. Dont change for anyone..it never gos to plan and keeping it up is hard work. You will find that special person when you least expect it...like when your out in a rush with no make up on and jeans that make you look huge!!
Oh my this is pretty terrible advice. You should be improving yourself all the time instead of expecting a miracle person to come along.
Being yourself does give you natural confidence and it’s hard to fake, you can easily see it.

Boy: *butt crack also shows*

YES😄😄😄
Your new books is a huge success in Sweden! I just feel kinda proud you do RUclips-videos. Few know this here.
Damn you. Where was this knowledge that rings so true? where was it when I used to stumble and fall on my nose, when I needed this advice? I guess I should have seen it by myself then and now, so damn me, and thank you for sharing this with people that might not have found it yet.
One of these videos a week is more than enough for the mind.
Am I the only one who thinks this guy beats around the topic a bit too much?
He tends to have about 2 points in each video and then says them over and over in different phrasing.
We are emotional and complex creatures so just saying 'stop taking things seriously' doesn't address the nuances of fear that people deal with. He guides you into seeing the other point of view and why perhaps it makes more sense
I think it's a sort of 'un-brainwashing' strategy.
Going on my first date in 3 years. Needed to hear this. Thank you SOL.
"We can approach our date with a down-to-earth confidence of one misery-inducing human reaching out to another to start a relationship that will in time at many points feel like an enormous mistake."
"We should (...) tell oneself that one is, of course, something of a cretin and an imbecile, but then so are they and anyone else we could meet". I love you, Alain De Botton!!
Amazing, thank you. So summing up the video, it would be " Accept your flaws and reality and accept that they are flawed as well".
Those visuals are maybe the best of all
This is the most hilariously perfect video on relationship advice I've ever seen.
*This topic* was covered in different videos from this channel.. *so tell me if I get the whole idea right or not* :
In order to be able to have a non-destructive relationship we need to understand that our beloved is similar to every other person we meet. Everyone got a certain type of behavior with a whole package of flaws that we need to accept and point them out in a gentle manner. We have to avoid the toxic idea of someone being perfect and put them on some sort of
pedestal. By coping with our own flaws and accepting them as being a part of who we are , we eventually will become more likely to show that we are able to see someone imperfect as they are and still accept and communicate with love and tenderness thing that is highly attractive also for the partner because it shows our capacity for long term relationship.
you got it bro!

Why would you want to seduce someone if they didn't like you for who you really are then fuck it
Love this visuals man.... Y'all do a great job on visuals too📣📣
Only watch this becuase i want to know if Its a guide for you (me) to seduce a person that is confident or if you (I) seduce confidently
Personally, I struggle most with showing I care. I have little trouble approaching, talking, joking, or anything similar- it’s the being able to openly appreciate them the way I do inside.
Remember when this channel used to be about philosophers and writers?
i usually watched your video twice..first to appreciate the art you put into it, second to get the point your trying to convey.
One of the best lines I've ever said to my crush;
Crush: What grade did you get on the maths exam?
Me: *proud and bold tone* Three Quarters! Beat that!

I always feel happier by making my crush laugh/smile.

What to do when you love someone who doesn't love you because of annoyance of your flaws.. but doesn't seem to express knowledge of their own flaws that are comparable to yours..??? Please help me
Leave this person and look for another
Move to the next
Yes, it is best to avoid those that lack self-awareness. They have a very immature attitude if they believe they lack flaws.
Over the top, too much
But yet makes a valid point, and ultimately is helpful

*Wow… now that's how you quickly hate the person you are trying to pursue and reach an existential crisis in the process!*
Chris Lasekan Only if you choose to hate them. You could accept that they are not perfect and love them anyway. Admitting that your partner will not always make you happy is not the same as hatred. But everyone has been sold the false dream of "happily ever after."
