Alan Roger Currie: The Godfather of Direct (Verbal) Game Advice

If you are a single man looking to improve your conversation skills with women, you need to familiarize yourself with Dating Coach Alan Roger Currie. I mean, right now. You won’t regret this recommendation and suggestion.

First, a bit about me: I am acquainted with a number of single men who have experienced their fair share of challenges, frustrations, and struggles connecting with good-looking women, and many of those men have utilized me as a listening ear to their problems. Many of these men made me aware of book authored by a guy named Neil Strass, and they would ask me my opinion of his New York Times Best-Selling book titled, “The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists” which was published in 2005. The men would frequently ask me my opinion on the advice offered to men by a famed pickup artist named Erik von Markovik, who went by the pseudonym “Mystery Method.” I felt like the theme of Mystery Method’s advice was “How to Transform Yourself from a Nerd to a Womanizer in 90 Days or Less.”

A few years later, I heard about Currie and his book titled Mode One: Let the Women Know What You’re REALLY Thinking. After reading Currie’s book, I gained a better understanding of the difference between “direct game” and “indirect game.”

Direct (verbal) Game is representative of when a man approaches a woman, initiates a conversation with her, and then proceeds to verbally communicate to the woman either his desire for a long-term romantic relationship, or his desire to share her company for a few episodes of short-term, non-monogamous, no-emotional-strings-attached casual s**.

Conversely, Indirect (verbal) Game is representative of when a man approaches a woman, initiates a conversation with her, and then proceeds to flatter her, entertain her, build some degree of friendly rapport with her, and generally give the woman the disingenuous impression that he can patiently wait for the day he and the woman end up in bed together, when in reality, the man desires to get the woman in bed as soon as possible.

Currie generally describes all men who utilize any variation of Indirect Game as liars, manipulators, and verbal cowards. “I have little if any respect for men who blatantly lie to women as a means of scoring casual s**, and men who intentionally mislead and emotionally manipulate women as a means of scoring casual s**. My firm belief is, if you want nothing from a woman other than a few episodes of short-term non-monogamous casual s**, then you need to have the confidence and courage to verbally communicate that to women in an upfront, specific, and straightforwardly honest manner,” said Currie, who was born in Gary, Indiana and is an alum of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

It was during the 1984–85 academic school year while a college student at Indiana University when Currie first began employing the bold, unapologetically honest verbal communication style he later began referring to as The Mode One Approach. In his book, Currie describes three additional “modes of verbal communication” which are Mode Two (very polite, cautious, and vague or ambiguous), Mode Three (blatantly dishonest, disingenuous, misleading, and manipulative), and Mode Four (intentionally antagonistic, insulting, rude, and argumentative).

Currie has been coaching single men since 2006 by offering them e-mail consultations, consultations via the telephone (U.S. residents only), Skype, or Zoom, and his most expensive coaching is in the form of One-on-One / Face-to-Face coaching in any city where he and his client agree to meet.

Currie teaches three versions of his Mode One Approach: Mode One-HARDCORE, which involves using language that is extremely explicit and risqué; Standard Mode One, which involves “qualifying” a woman to gauge her attraction to the man before proceeding to verbally communicating to women his desire for a long-term relationship or casual s**; and “Mode 1.5” which is for men who severely frown on the use of profanity or explicit, risqué language during their very first conversation with a woman of interest.

Currie’s methods may seem a bit risky initially, but in the long run, Currie’s Mode One Approach will save men a lot of time and money that had been previously spent on women who Currie refers to as “Manipulative Timewasters.”
