What's the difference between Premise and Intent?

Intent vs Premise has been a huge topic of discussion lately. Some people may think this is just nitpicking definitions, but I beg to differ. There are some HUGE fundamental differences and, from what I've seen, these differences create some of the biggest sticking points in game.

So crucial to game and as Todd said "so misunderstood"! This is like learning how to ride a bicycle - not leaning too much to the right or left, but keeping the balance right in the middle.

Damn this difference is really difficult to grasp. It looks like it's an art more than a science

Yo Todd, Can you go deeper in the system about alpha traits in social groups?

I'm very good at "1 on 1" but when it comes to groups wether it's new friends/co-workers I just feel like I lose myself and I don't really know what I'm doing..
I will happily pay for an extra package about how to truly stand out as an alpha within a group, the do and don't, how to express yourself in a relatable way.

From millions of simulations on a computer. I've noticed that once your talking to a girl, she pretty much knows your showing intention. Then she's working out whether its for a ONS, friendship or marriage.

Pls release “eliminating leveling behavior” video on The System already!! It’s been long enough.

Hey Todd,

I just want to say that I've been following your content for about a year now and just your free stuff is amazing and I feel like I've come along way from where I was a year ago. Your definitely the most solid PUA in game. I want to make a suggestion for this YouTube channel because i noticed that you have two of them. One where you post infields which is amazing because seeing the infield visually definitely helps us learn out sticking points. But for this channel, since your just answering questions on Game Theory, I was thinking it would be a great idea to create a podcast. Unfortunately, I find myself much more busy with work and a business I just started on the side and no longer have time to watch all the videos. If you had a podcast, it would be great because I could listen to your content in the morning when I'm making breakfast, on the way to work or at the gym. If there are subscribers who want Todd to create a podcast, give your feedback, send messages, like the post.

Keep on husltin'!
Josh.

I feel like a hot girl. Girls who love me I get board with and the ones who don't I plot my way to sleep with them. The girl I've felt the most attraction for ever would would tell me she hated me. It works! :)

[lsman]

This is why I like todd. These concepts are almost like math, where i actually have to wrap my head around it for a while before I truly understand. Really feels like I'm expanding my mind.

Would love to see you break down by the numbers! Rather than always by the behaviors and skills/principles that are associated with those levels

B/c it’s hard to self appraise with such qualitative measures

[FranzStFleur]

Hey, thanks for putting in the hard work and paving the way to make it easier for us.
QUESTION: when will you and your crew create a podcast? You can start by taking the audio of your video and making that into a podcast.

[kryptoblade]

showing intent is honesty not only honesty but it is objective ive always showed intent but not so much where i use most of my energy. anyone who uses objective-reality to pick up girls cant loose playing like ur not that into her is avoiding reality just be honest and everything will fit into place

What do you think about statements of empathy? Also how would you give one?

[TheDuuyyy]

Todd, is it okay to seek external validation to feel good about yourself, and where is the right place to get your sense of self-worth?

[Yamikaiba]

The funny thing is: my saying I'm interested only means literally that. If they say yes to a date, it doesn't mean I'll still be interested after the first date, or the 4th.

[elmerovero]

Premise and frame is essentially the same thing. But premise is more like the underlying assumption while frame is the structure of the interaction, or the dynamic that dictates the interaction which also carries a subtext of a romantic narrative. On my view.

[bahaatamer]

In short: showing interest gives power. Premise is also showing interest, but by taking power from her through teasing, disqualifying, etc. (BOTH DISPLAY MAN-WOMAN INTERACTION!).

How to maintain a leading frame in a foreign city when you're travelling.

I'd imagine you'd have a lot of experience with this doing bootcamps. It's tough to not default to the 'this is your city, I'm just a guest who doesn't really know where the cool spots are' when bouncing to venues / setting up Day 2's etc.

[e-lution]

it goes the same way for guys. I feel more interested in putting effort to a woman that's challenging rather than an easy girl I know I can get any day.

Todd, can you make a video on what to do when you're in a set with a high caliber girl (nightgame), you keep throwing your game and she simply doesn't react very much nor flirts back, but at the same time keeps smiling and doesn't leave you? It happened to me a couple of times and I reach a point where I have no idea what's happening and I don't know what to do. It's very intiguing.

Specific story: Last time I open the set with a friend (2-2), I flirt and play my game with my girl, she smiles but does not flirt back and doesn't give big reactions to me. I try to escalate physically, she is OK with it but kind of pushes back a little bit. When I say more polarizing stuff she stays non-reactive. I eventually reached a point where I gave up because it seemed to go nowhere, but at the same time I was intrigued because she stayed all the time and I was the one leaving. My friend was with her friend and kind of in the same situation as me, but at least he could kiss his girl.

Todd the idea of “ premise” would be to further the “ tent value once intent has been clearly established. Another words; “ here’s what I have in mind for both of us this evening{Navy- lol}, here’s why” all “ Premise “ is, expanding on original intent which then allows the flirting{ &/or-teasing to beginning in the set. Right or wrong lol ??
