THE SWERVE BY METHOD
Approaching Women for Men Who Do Not Like Pick-Up
by Hans Comyn
1
This text is based on my collaboration with Zan Perrion. We started working together on the
Ars Amorata in 2008, wrote ‘the Non-Approach Approach’ a couple of years later, and taught
‘the Way of Approaching’ in cities all over the world. ‘The Swerve By Method’ is my adaptation
of our initial text, and reflects the experiences and new insights I have had over the past decade.
INTERNATIONAL PRAISE FOR HANS COMYN’S FIRST BOOK
‘THE WAY OF A SEDUCER. A CODE OF HONOR TO A LOST ART’
“In Batman Begins, Ra’s Al Ghul tells Bruce Wayne, “If you make
yourself more than just a man… if you devote yourself to an ideal…
and if they can’t stop you… then you become something else,
entirely…”
Which is…? Bruce Wayne asks.
“A legend, Mr Wayne”.
By devoting himself to the art of seduction Hans Comyn has become
a Legend. He is a man who has presented himself to the world as a
true seducer and an artisan of the romantic arts. Hans possesses
both an astonishing depth of understanding of love and romance,
as well as a unique artistic articulation of that understanding. He
lives and breathes seduction. He speaks to the soul, and his passion
becomes our passion. Constantly broadcasting and interacting
through the various media - his books, facebook, instagram,
youtube, newsletters, courses and private groups - we are
continuously enlightened and inspired by his dignified expression
of love, romance and seduction. His creations and teachings reflect
a wealth of experience combined with a never-ending curiosity,
always articulated in a beautifully succinct way. As Polonius of
Shakespeare says ironically, “Brevity is the Soul of Wit.”
From being mentored by Hans Comyn, I learned how his artistic
approach to seduction contains a profound grasp of the intricate
nuances and interconnections between femininity and masculinity,
charm and magnetism, the spirit of celebration and ruthlessness,
the language of women and the darker side of seduction. Despite
excellence to mere mortals, Hans continues to push the frontier of
his own understanding and abilities with the unabashed enthusiasm
and curiosity of a newborn; it commands anyone’s respect and
makes him the perfect guide through the land of love, relationships
and romance.
Women love Men – Real Men. Men who stand for something. Men of
honour and respect. Champions of their own lives and leaders of the
dance. Hans Comyn understands the decline of men and masculinity
in society today, and I experience priceless value in exploring man’s
role in the dance that is seduction during my ongoing mentorship
with him. What a joy!” - Michael Zimmer, New York
“Once again, you just showed up, out of nowhere and you were
so....well, so you!!! I’ll be clear, concise and sincere: Merci, Hans
Comyn.” - Siham Hammich, Granada
“Hans is able to help guys break through this real fear and take
them to the next level.” - Fas Demirel, New York
“A great man, with a big heart. He is able to make you feel great,
and also able to make get you in touch with your own anger.
Hans’ mentorship is very practical; he shows you how to move
with women, approach, date, relate… getting the emotions at
the right place and doing what is needed from a man in the
dance of seduction. He is very experienced, very masculine also
in the way he moves and talks. He is able to make interacting
with women - in very different parts of the world - feel natural,
smooth, pleasant and fun, and will show you very practical ways
for you to do the same.” - Peter Vanderbilt, Sydney

‘The Way of a Seducer. A Code of Honor to a Lost Art’ (2016)
is my code of conduct on how to seduce. A credo to carve my
path in the land of women and a manifesto to guide my journey
through the art of seduction, discovering and articulating the
seductive laws of long-term relationships, as well as dating and
meeting new people.
I still use the ‘Swerve By’ Method daily, and it is our starting
point when I work with men who want to bring more women
into their lives. For anyone new to my work, it is a very
practical first step into the seductive realm, reflecting the
same principles that are the backbone of my work on dating
and long-term relationships.

To cold approach means to walk over and make a conversation with a total stranger. The cold
approach plays a pivotal part in the pick up industry, a movement of men whose goal is sexual
success with and access to women.

I will not be able to deal with the endless list of specifics of the swerve by in this document.
She could be with friends, sitting in the coffee shop, working out at the gym, walking with
headphones in, sitting in the metro… all of these specific situations require specific applications
of the ‘Swerve By’ Method, and I address them all during the life mentoring programs (ask for
it), the Way of A Seducer ONLINE Course and on my Youtube Channel.
“Imagine a man strolling down a sidewalk in the sun, slow
and serene. He is not in a hurry. He is calm, solid, like a rock
in the middle of a stream, as the people, heads down, flow
around him. Watch him as he lifts his face to the warmth
of the sun, how he pauses to breathe deeply, absorbing
the smells and the sights and the sounds. It appears he
has nowhere to be and nothing in particular needs his
attention. He is not doing anything. He is just... being. Just
him and his thoughts. Just him and the smells of the shops
and restaurants that he passes. Just him and the sound of
traffic. Just him and the strangers around him, behind him,
beside him, toward him. See how happy he is?

that woman was great… “I did not show up... I failed… I failed
again, and I suck,... and I can’t, I do not have what it takes. I
am not a man, free to do what I want in the world.” We feel
bad for at least a couple of moments. Sometimes it even ruins
the rest of our day. Even if we have become great at bringing
new women into our life, failing to show up with a woman that
fascinates us makes us feel less good about ourselves.
You could even say that in these moments when we are held
back by approach anxiety, that we have an encounter with our
true sense of self-worth and self-love as a man. What are we
protecting ourselves from? What are we hiding? How can we
free ourselves?

II. The Why

knowledge with fear. And it’s this inexplicable fright – an irrational
by-product of not knowing – that keeps us from focusing on the
possibility of future rewards.”
| 9
In other words, every approach, every encounter offers a
very compelling list of future rewards, but because we are
uncertain about the outcome, our brain feeds us fear, and fills
in the blanks with a worst-case-scenario (“It will be awkward,”
“She will reject me,” “I will be ridiculed”...). We end up doing the
irrational thing of NOT approaching the woman that fascinates
us, and we feel bad about it.

It bears repeating that I do believe there is value in practicing the cold approach. I question
however its pivotal role in bringing women into your life. I also find the cold approach a lot
less noble and beautiful than the swerve by.
Rarely does typical advice question that you even have
to cold approach. Rarely does that advice question that
you have to overcome your fear, walk over to her, make
conversation, plough through awkwardness in order to
create attraction out of thin air, overcome rejections and
ridicule... Rarely does anyone question that you, the man,
are 100% responsible for success in seduction, and that cold
approaching plays a pivotal part in that success.
But how many couples do you know that got together through
some kind of cold approach in a bar or on the street?
I call it the ‘Swerve By’ Method and it taps into that more
organic and fluid kind of interaction that has brought
most couples together. It is a game-changing approach to
meeting women. It is a technique, a complete plan of action,
and a philosophy of seduction. It requires no pick-up lines,
you don’t risk any awkwardness or running out of things
to say, and it eliminates your fear of rejection and ridicule.
You will notice your approach anxiety diminish with every
swerve by, your encounters will feel natural and pleasant,
and women will want more and more of you.8

I I I . T h e A n ti d o t e
Men falsely think that attraction is theirs to create out of thin air.
9
One could argue the ‘truth’ of the previous paragraph, but I am not solely in the business
of discovering truth; I equally intend to create beauty wherever I go. The obsession with truth
and efficiency must be the most anti-seductive stance in these matters.
2. There is no amount of talking that will
change her from not being attracted to you
into being attracted to you.
A woman is attracted to you, or she is not, and no amount of
talking will take her from not being attracted to you to being
attracted to you. You cannot create attraction by talking more. You
can destroy the attraction that is there, but you cannot create it.
But what if the attraction was there from the first moment?
What if the attraction was there the moment she spotted you?
Or the moment you looked her in the eye? What if the attraction
was there there the moment you walked over and just showed
up? Imagine for a moment that it is possible that she is already
attracted to you. Imagine she already likes you… before you start
a conversation.
This happens all the time, and men are oblivious to it. We’re
stuck in our own anxieties, in what we stand to win or lose, that
we fail to put our attention on what could be happening for
her. Men think they have to talk more to create attraction, but
not only is this impossible, more often than not, more talking
destroys the attraction that’s already there.
I I I . T h e A n ti d o t e
When men think they said the wrong things and were unable to
create attraction, in fact, they may have destroyed the attraction that
was there with the same tool they thought would create attraction.
How?
What is it?
He swerves by…

I V. T h e S w e r v e B y
Swerve By!
When you are out and about, during daytime or at night, and you
see a woman you feel compelled to meet, follow these 3 steps:
10
En passant means in passing. It is also a chess move. | 19
1. Check in with yourself.
Pause and become aware of your own experience. What are
you noticing about her and/or this situation and how does that
impact you?
Women do not mind when you’re nervous, but they will punish you
if you hesitate. If you feel compelled to meet this woman, then act
swiftly. Just walk over and express your experience to her, as a gift,
without any expectation of getting something in return.
- “I was over there with my friends, I saw you and felt compelled
to come over and say ‘You look great.’ Have a good evening.”
- “Wow - aren’t you well-put together today… lovely!”
- “When you passed by I noticed I stood up straighter. That’s
11
It is best to share what you notice and and how it impacts you. To share how you are feel-
ing is most of the times better than to share what you are thinking, but expressing what you
are thinking is a great way to get out of your head and back into the present moment and the
encounter with her.
12
As you master the ‘Swerve By’ Method and become more proficient in the language of
women, there will be times you can express your experience to her without words. Expressing
your experience with words is a great tool to start understanding that language.
I V. T h e S w e r v e B y
13
This is why, tor those new to the swerve by method, I recommend you make sure you proceed
to step 3 - the leaving - by wishing her a good day, or evening… at the end of your expression.
3. Leave.
This is the most important part of the ‘Swerve By’ Method and the
biggest difference from the cold approach.
Leave.
Do not ask or request anything. Do not try to get something in
return for your approach.
Leave.
Do not try to get her instagram. Do not try to get her number. Do
not try to get a smile.
Leave.
Do not wait for her reaction. Do not stick around. Do not hang
around.
Leave.
Do not wait for it to become awkward. Do not wait for her
response.
Leave.
That transaction is complete.
This is the hardest thing for guys to do, certainly when they think
it goes well. We believe we have to create attraction by talking
more, but we only risk messing up the attraction that may
already be there.
Leave!
Here are a few more examples of swerve bys I did this week.
They show the expression of my experience as a gift to the other
(not just the women I fancy), and the joy at the heart of this
expression.
| 23
Why this works
When you swerve by, all you do is show up. To show up is all you
must do, and all you can do to uncover the attraction that is
possibly there and let it blossom. How does this happen?
You are now on the radar if you weren’t before. When you swerve
by, you show up, and to show up is all you need to do to see if
there is attraction, and open the door to explore it.14
Take-away: when you see a woman who compels you, show up.
2. Talk less.
Always be communicating (the ABC of women), but talk a lot less...
14
I am convinced that the success many men attribute to routines and pick up lines can be
largely attributed to the mere fact of showing up. “I know he is saying a line… but at least he is
here!” women often think
I V. T h e S w e r v e B y
3. It is a gift to her.
You are not asking for anything. You are not requesting a
thing. You are not expecting something from her. You are
expressing your experience as a gift to her, as a gift to the
world. With ease and delight. You are brightening people’s lives
and blessing their existence in this world.
Take-away: give without expecting anything in return.
| 25
Which brings us to this important issue.
In clubs or bars, places where you both will be around each other
for a while, I highly recommend swerving by and leaving.
In other words, as you practice the ‘Swerve By’ Method, you will
learn to see the signs and build in the consideration of coming
back (for a second approach) in your leave-taking. Once you are
more prepared to leave an interaction than she is, you will know
how to come back smoothly and with great effect because you will
notice the signs en passant. You will not hang around to see her
reaction; you will notice her reaction in leaving and act accordingly.

2. No risk of rejection.
She cannot reject you because you are not asking for anything.
You do not ask for her to like you, you do not fish for validation,
you do not ask for a phone number or her instagram account.
You ask for nothing, and so you cannot be rejected. You present
her your truth, you lay it on the table, and you leave before she
reacts. You leave before she accepts or declines your gift. You
can never get rejected.
3. No fear of ridicule.
Since there is no rejection, there is no ridicule. Our fear of
rejection is coupled with a fear of ridicule if others see our
failure. When you swerve by, you cannot fail, you cannot be
rejected, and you cannot be ridiculed for getting rejected.
| 29
As you practice this method, you will notice your approach anxiety
diminish with every swerve by, your encounters will feel natural
and pleasant, and women will want more and more of you.
Swerving by makes it so that you do not have to face the basic fear
that you may look like the loser we all, deep down fear we are.
You are giving your gift to the world, not trying to get anything. You
are in action, and a man who acts anyway, putting his will into the
world, is instantly more attractive. You will relate no more with
your own anxiety - you will be laying the foundations for months
and years of authentically and naturally interacting with women,
both in meeting them, dating and long-term relationships.
So, the ‘Swerve By’ method does not only have short
term advantages over the cold approach in diminishing
awkwardness (and the anxiety associated with it) and bringing
more women into your life; its main advantage is long term
as the practice of the swerve by helps you become the man
beautiful women dream about.

C o n c l u si o n
Before you cold approach again, try the ‘Swerve By’ Method instead.
It will take away almost all the pressure and anxiety you feel
when you consider walking over to a woman that fascinates
you, because you no longer have to make conversation in order
to create attraction out of thin air. You do not have to plough
through the awkwardness of a new encounter. You can just show
up, express your experience as a gift with ease and delight, and
leave before things get painful. Your encounters will be much
smoother and feel more natural for both you and her.
Because it is such a low-pressure practice, the ‘Swerve By’
Method is great first step in your exploration of the approach and
mastering the art of seduction. You will practice:
Checking in with how you feel
Showing up
Expressing your experience
Speaking your truth
Celebrating women
Generosity
Leaving
Being more prepared to leave than her
Being unattached to the outcome
Measuring success by how you show up instead of how she reacts
Giving her a chance to contribute to the seduction at play
Understanding the language of women (her interest)
Speaking the language of women
Leadership
Understanding your role in the dance that is seduction
| 33
The ‘Swerve By’ Method will create momentum and lay the
foundation for authentically and naturally interacting with
women for the rest of your life, both in meeting them, dating and
long-term relationships.
Because you ask for nothing, because you express your experience
as a gift, because you bring it with ease and delight, because you
give her space and a chance to contribute to the seduction at play,
because you are unattached to the outcome and because you speak
the language of women, you will leave the women that are good for
you wanting more of you. This way, the ‘Swerve By’ Method will give
you a higher success rate than the endless cold approaching, both
in the short run and in the long run.
