the-minusworld.com: What is your previous experience with video games? Were you a big video game fan growing up?
Zan Perrion: I was a huge fan of video games growing up. I did my time in the arcades, of course, and I played lots of console and computer games. It sure was a lot less frustrating than trying to talk to girls!
When did you realize you would be the leader of men into enlightened seduction? Were you “the man” in high school?
Well, I was massively rejected by girls in high school, and for quite a few years afterwards. FInally, I decided I needed to understand this part of life. So I decided to get out of my comfort zone, get out of my room, get away from my computer, and try my best to go spend some time in the land of women.
Due to the inherent negative social stigma surrounding video games, are gamers hopeless in the world of enlightened seduction?
Balance is everything, of course. The best advice is to get out and do as much as possible in the real world.
As more gamers begin to play online as opposed to social gatherings does this hurt their chances of meeting women or can your methods apply to an online “World of Warcraft” match?

There is definitely a danger that a guy will find a surrogate life online. It is easier, it is more comfortable, and it is far less painful. And in this world of so little connection, it is only getting to get worse. There are other options. The natural progression for a gamer might be to begin to explore the online dating world.
Super Mario has spent two frustrating decades pursuing the same Princess. When do you just “press reset” and move on to a new woman?
It’s like finishing a level in a game… sometimes you collect all the stars and bonuses and have unlocked the secret doors… sometimes the timer runs out so you just head for the door and move on to the next one. You need to pay attention to your internal timer - in other words, trust your intuition - it will tell you when to move on.
A gamer’s attention span tends to be shorter than that of non-gamers. Do you recommend speed-dating or do you feel that doesn’t allow the proper time to really get to know someone?
Well, the problem is that short and speedy dating techniques might appeal to a gamer and his short attention span. But when it comes time to actually spend time in the company of a girl he likes, there are no shortcuts. At some point, he is simply going to have to learn how to communicate in a way she will respond to.
Most gamers have the personal hygiene of a wet dog. What is your recommendation to those who prefer the game of Halo in their basement to conquering the dreaded mirror and bar of soap?
Ah, if you have bad hygene, I suggest getting familliar with being alone. Women don’t stick around guys who smell bad for more than a minute or two. And they are far more sensitive to smell than we are!
I dare say you’ve achieved the ultimate enlightenment in the realm of women. Is there someone special? This may serve as words of motivation to those gamers who feel dedicated to their Xbox 360 achievements.
Yes, there is always someone special… and I keep her locked away in a tower with no WiFi connection!
Gamers are accustomed to getting 1-UPS, meaning a second chance at their game after an initial failure. Does the average single suitor get an extra life/chance?
Not by doing and saying the same things he’s always done. The only way he will have a second life is to change his approach. In other words, be very observant and curious about what happened to make things go worng the first time, then do less of the things that didn’t work and more of the things that did work.
On Date #2 (The Sequel) what’s appropriate and what’s not? Should we try to finish the game?
I suggest not talking about your custom Xbox 360 signed by all the Halo designers until she’s moved in with you… On the 2nd date, don’t rush it, don’t try too hard, it isn’t a race.
Off topic: Hillary or Obama? Or neither?
You mean like vs. each other on the Wii? I’m going to have to go with Obama over Hillary.
