<p>pua is like pick up artist i think.
and its not the 2nd date, its the first and im not asking other girl out because im not an *******? plus i want to see whether or not how this date would go first.</p>
<p>i disagree with highschool. clicks and everyone knowing everyone was too weird and worked against you at times.</p>
<p>oh btw my date is like 3 years older than me. woo me</p>
<p>not rape if she wants it. hmm i dont know if i should try to go for a kiss or not, ill roll with it. although i found out its a double date with her friends. hmm. maybe just holding hands?</p>
<p>The thing is, the theory of what “PUAs” do isn’t very different at all from what many guys do who already have success with women without recognizing what PUA is.</p>
<p>I wish this PUA **** didn’t work. I don’t want talentless losers and average guys just learning a few tricks and all of a sudden are able to snap up women. More competition, you know? </p>
<p>In other words, I don’t want guys who are worse-looking, less athletic, dumber, and less naturally charming than me closing the gap with just attending some clinics on picking up women.</p>
<p>Sort of like if I’m a good professional baseball player who doesn’t juice, I don’t want the players around me to start juicing.</p>
<p>If you really got game, you wouldn’t care what gimmicks other “worse-looking, less athletic…” guys are using to pick up chicks. Only weak players who are insecure about their abilities feel threatened when “lesser” people just start to have clue about what what they are doing. </p>
<p>PUA is way more than those gimmicks, fancy acronyms, mind tricks and canned routines. Those help, I do admit. But they only serve as a spring board, or a crutch that gets geeks and nerds started in the pick up scene, who have been shy all their life. And they can only get you that far. And what’s far more important and affects a player’s performance fundamentally is inner game, which include your self image, self confidence and your values. A real experienced PUA knows that how you say it is more important than what you say. Body language and other non-verbal communications convey as much if not more to girls in a conversation than the actual words.</p>
<p>Looks have very little to do with picking up chicks. If you are athletic, good looking, but lose chicks to fat average looking guy who got game, then if you no one to blame but yourself.</p>
<p>It’s one thing to lack confidence in your game and be generally insecure. It’s another thing to recognize increased competition. Mystery lost his girlfriend to Herbal. Was Mystery a bad pickup artist? No. He faced increased competition.</p>
<p>You’re assuming or accusing me of being insecure for rhetorical purposes–it’s glaringly transparent that you’re making that assumption to accentuate your point. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tyler Durden never acquired inner game. He did more than okay on the pickup scene. Social robots much?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Okay so? What does this have to with inner game? You can fake body language and other non-verbal cues, just like you can recite scripted material. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I agree, but don’t think your insinuation that I’m losing girls to “lesser” guys is opaque. </p>
<p>Think about the baseball & steroids analogy instead of going off on an inferiority complex-fueled lecture backed with your own presumptions–of course I’m not fond of guys going to PUA clinics to mitigate my natural advantages and the skills that I’ve built up over the years. This is all hypothetical of course. I’ve never actually met or encountered a “PUA,” much less lost girls to one.</p>
<p>haha i love the conchords. i was watching the tv and playing my guitar and i just had a revelation so i made one up. and i dont have anyone to dedicate the song too so why not a girl i never met?</p>
