Micro calibration V.S. Stacking

[Guest]

Mehow's Microloops are also similar to Microcal.

Myself and a friend have something similar we call the Compliance Investment (CI) Model. If you're interested, I'll post the basics of it.

Microcal is good but its biggest drawback is that it is reactive. Giving IODs for IODs is just plain reactive.
As you said, Stacking gives you little room to manuever. You're basically a monologue.

Both have their uses. Both of them are good and have their place.

I never understood the intermittence idea of microcal. I understand the idea but never quite understood where it was useful.

Then on some of the videos they talk about "turning off microcalibration". Which makes you wonder why they would claim that all communication boils down to 5 things (IOI, IOD, etc)....why then do they say "turn it off". If they believed their own ideas then you could not turn it off.

WHen i said situational, I was talking about paying attention to what's being said, not off in some IOI / DHV land. Be in the moment, and focus on the vibe, emotion or the ENERGY of the interaction.[/quote1222843441]

Can you elaborate on that? As far as I can tell it's all about gauging your responses to be appropriate to the current situation and her mental state. If she gives a positive reaction or if she signals that she's into you, or if she gives you a positive "vibe" or a positive "energy", you should notice and react accordingly, in a way which is [i]different[/i] from what you would do if she gives a negative "vibe" or "energy" in the interaction.

I would say IOI and IOD are terms that [i]describe[/i] the "vibe" or "emotion" or "energy" and it's not a separate distraction but exactly what you should be focusing on, by whatever name you want to call it.

I can try to explain what i mean.

When I gauge my responses to be appropriate to the situation, it's all about Compliance, not IoI's and IoD's. I don't care how much interest is given, what I'm after is investment. Sinn states that microcalibration is too advanced for his bootcamps, but I can break this concept down to a couple sentences. Reward compliance, punish non-compliance. Reward with attention, punish by withdrawl of attention.

No negs, no IOD's.

Keep in mind that in order to be compliance, there has to be a demand made. The demand can be stated directly, or it can be implied. (an example of implied compliance would be that she responds to your opener. You implied that you want to talk, she complied) Implied compliance should be rewarded as well. I think the confusion comes from the fact that IOI's and implied compliance can easily be confused for one another, however they are not really the same thing.

I don't think microcalibration is a terrible theory, but I do think mine is better because it's more intuitive and lets you focus on other things where I think microcal is very thought-intensive as Sinn states.

I will state this point again - if you are actively thinking about microcalibration in set you are focusing too much brain power on this and probably missing out on more important calibration issues.


Which brings me to my second point. Energy, vibe, emotion are not ethereal or "soft" concepts but something that can be actively understood and used. They are not really related to IOI's or IOD's.


Energy is the speed and type of movements and gestures, your eye contact, your vocal inflection/variation, and the content of your conversation.

Emotion is how things make you feel/ vv.

Vibe is the effect your energy/emotion have on hers and vv.

Another part of microcalibration is DHV's, and I don't believe in DHV's, hence another issue I have with the theory. I don't believe in ACTIVELY displaying value, as I think this is a passive function. Value means more when it is DISCOVERED, for one, and for two, I believe you have the benefit of the doubt w respect to value until you "DLV."

That said, I think the most important thing is to not overthink these things but to try to have fun with it.

And actually I will add one more thing, which might be even more confusing. The nexus of your energy, emotion, and vibe focus should be to focus on how to bring out the best in HER. Your attention should be OUTSIDE yourself.

everything discussed in this thread is why I do day game almost exclusively. There is just so much more precision than floating stink-bait to catch a bottom feeder.
