Superior Man Seminar: Dan Regatta of PickUp101
By V on May 28, 2007 in Bars, Community, Practice, Products, Quotes, Ramblings
Dan Regatta (I think that’s how you spell his last name) was introduced to us by Sean Newman. Seems like a good conversationalist, and he also enjoys Chocolate Soy Milk
Notes
- - His crutch was staying home and watching movies. He has 300+ movies. He goes out and has fun talking to people all the time.
- - Working The Room
- i. For him, going out and creating social environment where it’s like you’re surrounded by your friends.
ii. People go to the bar/club to be social, not stand around (cause you look creepy)
- - Break out, is when talking to cashier girl and they say “How are you?” You say, “I am FUCKING awesome, how are you?” It wakes them out of their boring life and they remember you.
- - At night it’s different. If George Clooney goes to a bar, and he talks to every person there. Talk to everyone (bouncers, waitresses). Say what’s up to the bouncers or waitresses. If you’re going to go in and make people smile, then you’ll get more out of it. If you said high to everyone, you can go back into any group later.
- - When in doubt call it out
- - Test
- i. Make someone smile everyday.
ii. Call your grandma, to make her smile
- - Ways to interact
- - 1. Hi, I’m shy . . .
- 2. Hey, welcome to my party.
- 3. High five for “sexy time”.
- - Everyday make a girl smile
- - Being negative makes you socially isolated
- - Context of what’s going on.
- - Karma, you give out positive energy, you will get it back.
- - Sean Newman: If someone asks you what do you enjoy doing? “Drinking and Fucking.”
- - Sean Newman: When you engage in the world you change your reality.
- - Sean Newman: ON MONDAY say to someone at your work, “So how was your weekend?” (then shut up)
- - Sean Newman: We don’t matter, we don’t exist. This is positive cause you can only do better.
- - Sean Newman: Call a girl “Baby”
- - Sean Newman: Yell from a moving car saying “What’s up baby yeah!”
- - Sean Newman: It’s hard cause you’re breaking out of social isolation
- - Sean Newman: Men are fucked up; trying to prove that you’re an expert, men have been taking the easy way out with pickup lines.
- - Sean Newman: Being genuine is not just for you, it’s for everyone out there
- - Sean Newman: Break out of the cell you are in. You built it to save yourself from the world and it’s killing you
- - Sean Newman: You have one shot, after this life you are dust.

Hey dude,
This post was just linked to me. Thanks for the kind words about my little talk at the superior man seminar. My last name is actually “Mangano”… don’t quite know how we got “Regatta”; but I like it. I may have to change my to that
I, along with Sean (and a lot of other people), actually left PU101 to start our own company; LVO3. We just launched and will eventually be back in Toronto.
Anyway, peace out… I’m gonna go get some chocolate soy milk…
