P.u.a.

[vodkazvictim]

No mutilated cock pics here. Relax.

Some of my friends have talked of books which teach you to be a P.U.A. (pick up artist)
I instantly judged them as and never tried them, assuming any successes these guys attribute to the books were in fact themselves and the girls just ignored the front they were putting up.
In my experience women can see through an act in no time and they can spot guys who are bad news (note that some like "bad boys" - must be evolution for maximum numbers born).
So what are your thoughts? I've never tried the techniques and now I will never have a chance to.
Anyone tried it and thought it worked? Because I suspect that those who claim it works simply wrongly attribute their success to these techniques. Women are better at body language than men, according to several studies, which is why I think if you put on an act women either see it and are put off, or they see it and ignore it for whatever reason.

Well, a friend from way back from our childhood had that gift. But there came a change during the two years we shared a flat.

I remember the day when I came home and he sat in the kitchen, asking, hey where you come from, it's a bit later than usual.

From the local health authority, I told him. I had split with a girlfriend a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to make sure I have no HIV.

His shocked face. He said he could NEVER go there. He had way too many onenighters, going to the clubs and bars every other night, he was officially a student, but had a day job at iron work shop where he made solid cash on the side. So he could sleep late and go there after very late breakfast.

He started getting solid then, after some serious discussions. Getting packs of condoms, as a start.

Back to topic, I think the prime trick is:

Be relaxed. Know that you are good to be along with.

Then, don't dress sloppy. Little things, like neat shoes, good teeth etc go a long way

Don't talk too much about yourself. Ask her about what interests her.

Balance buying her a drink or two and being some sort of sugardaddy.

Well, I never really made it to a great picker upper, so what do I know :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The main thing these books preach is confidence. Once you can go out in the field and know you're going to get the girl you want, you'll get the girl you want. Also keep in shape and dress respectably.

... and build up your frustration tolerance. If you fail, talk to the next woman. There will always be a babe that wants to do some shagging

I never had any trouble with women. I read The Game anyway, not to help me, but because it seemed interesting. On top of being a guide, it's also a novel, with a linear story which is very entertaining.

Anyway, I tried a lot of the shit it said, and it was incredible that any of it worked. It did lower my respect of women slightly. When you use a bullshit opener that get's them all excited I can't help but think "you're fucking stupid, bend over".

In the real world, there's nothing that can be taught (beyond hypnotism) that can render the average man's approach instantly successful with any woman.

In order to generally be able to pick up on interested women, you either need to be 1 of 3 things; generally wealthy, generically attractive or genuinely charming.

Barring that, just hope you stumble upon chicks who find you in their tastes.

Really? It worked? Makes you think less of the gals it worked on.

Back to topic,

Now how is this relevant for the TS' question?

Anyways,

I think all those pickup books are baloney.
If youre steve urkel, you will remain steve urkel but then with stupid cheezy pick-up lines.....

or as Obama said, you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig but a pig with lipstick.

In other words if you take away the "nerds" pick-up lines/ "game", if he has created an opening with the girl using any of the methods he read about in whatever pua book, then he is on his boring own again.

Some tricks will help that person get an opening or whatever but underneath the shallow lines/ short conversations, it is still the same boring person.

You might get away with a one night stand using some of the methods....but only if youre goodlooking etc to start with....I dont think it will help you much getting a relationship....cuz the gal will find out sooner or later that youre one ueber boring non macho.

Mystery, David Deangelo, Joseph Matthews and the rest of that gang are doing men a great service. Follow their advice and reap the benefits. I went to a seminar with David Deangelo when I was 19 and my life has never been the same!

How many conquests have you had on average a year since then?
Don't tell me, let me guess; 365.

Hm, that shouldn't make no difference.
