Have you ever tried a technique or maybe hit a sticking point in your dating life, then wonder why whatever you’re doing didn’t work? If so, this podcast will help.

Discipline is more of a mindset approach to dating as opposed to having an uncontrolled environment. The idea behind discipline is threefold:

• There are things I know that work; I want to continue to use those things• I need to stop doing things that don’t work for my dating methods• I also need to create systems that test what I’m not sure about

Since this is a hefty subject, I’ve broken up the podcast into two segments:

In Part 1:

• Introduction to Franco and discipline (00:45)• Why Franco believes discipline is important, and the mindset of discipline (01:32)• Discipline as compared to a scientific method and an equation (03:00)• Controlled versus tested variables (03:52)• Varoon’s example of how a single variable changed the outcome of his date (04:07)• Varoon discusses how he confused the cause of his failure on the date (05:22)• Franco discusses how he isolated the variable that changed on Varoon’s date (06:26)• Varoon shares a story from another date where he changed many variables (08:30)• Why it’s important to turn your dates into a scientific experiment (09:50)• Franco’s equation comparison and why it’s important to keep variables to just one (10:25)• How the equation and variable system relates to dating (11:40)• Why changing just one date variable is critical to learning and creating a working method (12:32)• How to understand all the different variables at play, and how the most successful men are all highly disciplined (13:27)• Reducing variables solves equations quicker and makes the dating process much easier (15:28)• Varoon shares how isolating variables helped him figure out a sticking point in texting (15:55)• Nothing is ever 100% or absolute with women (how a method works differently for different people) (17:18)• Varoon shares a more difficult sticking point and how he sorted through several variables to create a solution (19:00)• Some variables are more difficult to identify than others (21:50)

I’d also like to introduce a new segment called “Chats with Chase,” where I invite Chase to discuss anything reader related on the podcast. This time, Chase covers how to decide when to remove components from your dating method.

• Introduction to “Chats with Chase” (22:55)• How Chase knows when it’s time to chuck a strategy into the waste bin, and why there are so many variances in results (23:05)• First reason to throw something out – when you don’t need something anymore (24:54)• Second reason to throw something out – when something repeatedly doesn’t work (and why to try something twenty times before discarding it) (27:17)• Third reason to throw something out – when it produces reactions, not results (Chase cites public makeouts as an example, and how he started testing out not making out in public) (28:16)• Final reason to throw something out – when it just doesn’t fit your personality (and how Chase threw out some cheesy sex banter that didn’t work well) (30:25)

Next time, in Part 2 of my discussion with Franco, we’ll discuss:

• How to experiment with discipline by solving variables and demonstrating what works• How to use discipline in dating methods if you’re a virgin or a beginner• How to use discipline more effectively to get better and get laid if you’re already getting results• Setting correct expectations for the successes you desire• Pacing reality with known and unknown variables• Typical pitfall points in how guys screw up discipline• Why thinking long term is critical to your dating success
