What's your motive?
Your motive will determine whether you fail or succeed.
With that said, I have a lot to say, so I apologize in advance for not explaining my thoughts in a clear and methodical way. But I promise, the content of what I say is true and is the secret to all of this. Just trust me.
THE CHALLENGE: Tough it out. Read the hypo and finish. I promise that even though it seems like a ramble, it all comes together. My mind just works differently than most.
The following hypothetical will help you understand the area of issues discussed on sosuave (and consequently, will help you understand the secret to all of this).
When we took math class as a kid, we had a few choices. We could learn how to solve the problems or we could cheat. Remember how mad you got when you would come up with the right answer but you would get it wrong because the way you got the answer wasn't how the teacher wanted you to get it? It's not just about the end result.
THE HYPO:
Blue Inc. needs a mathematician for a project they're working on. The project involves some math that not many people can do. So they need to hire someone who can come up with the right answers. With the right answers, they can finish their project and get paid.
Blue Inc.'s top two choices are Fred and Bill.
Fred knows a guy who worked on this type of project before. Although Fred knows absolutely nothing about math (Fred's a janitor and was a high school drop out) he does know the answers that Blue Inc. needs for this project.
Bill knows nothing about Blue Inc.'s project and doesn't have the answers like Fred does. But Bill is a mathematician. Bill studied math in college and has a MEM (Masters in Eisenstein Mathematics).
Fred has the answers. Bill doesn't.
If they hire Fred, they'll be done with the project and can move onto other projects. They can make more money! With Bill, the project might not be completed as quickly. Bill might need a little time to work through some equations to get the answers.
What if Blue Inc. encounters a new equation in their project? Fred won't be able to solve it...and Blue Inc. will be in an even worse position than they were before. Bill might even be gone by then. But even if there isn't a new equation, there will always be a new project. And Fred won't know the answers to the equations for those projects. So Blue Inc. will have to hire another person anyways.
Who should Blue Inc. hire?
Who would you want to be? Who would you want to hire? Would you want to know the answers for a specific equation or would you want to KNOW HOW TO GET THE ANSWERS NO MATTER WHAT THE EQUATION MIGHT BE?
END HYPO
Many of these PUA sites try and give us answers. They want us to be like Fred. The overwhelming majority of these PUA sites, most PUA type books, and people who post on these sites usually try and give us the answers, the magic pills, because THEY want to believe that there is an answer, a magic pill, a pick-up line, a secret like increasing "kino" or whatever other secret it is they teach.
THE SECRET:
Be the mathematician. If you know how to get the problem, you won't be stressed when the 2 is replaced with a 5. You don't need the answers because you know how to get the answers on your own!
99% of the crap on this site and sites like them is that everyone is searching for the magic pill. Posts like Crash Course on Masculine Power by Jay Julio are great because they are creating mathematicians in us. Advice like that given by Jay Julio is to help us as individuals. The result is that we do better with women. Because women are the Blue Inc.'s of the world. Women get to choose every night whether they want some idiot like Fred who reads sosuave or a man whose lifestyle makes him the type of person who she wants to be with.
Women don't want a guy who knows answers. They want a guy who knows how to solve problems. The consequence is that most of the time, if you know how to solve the problem, you'll have the answer. But websites like these (and I'm obviously generalizing because this is a great website) make us think that it's only about the answer. They make us think that women only care about the answer. But it's not different than seeing a great athlete drinking a new drink or wearing a wristband... We see kids every day trying to dress like their favorite athletes because they think it's the shoes or the necklace or the haircut, etc. (Remember a few years ago how every boy under the age of 15 had the same haircut as Justin Beiber?)
Read Jay Julio's post because he can probably explain it much better than I can but you have got to realize that it's not about the pick up lines or how to ACT confident or anything like that....IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH WOMEN!
If your MOTIVE is just to improve yourself so you can meet more women then you are not on the right track. If you want to go to the gym so you can look better because you think it'll get you more notches on your bedpost then it won't happen. Your motive must be to improve yourself. Why would you rather cheat and learn a pick-up line (like Fred) so you can get a girl's number or attention for the next 15 minutes (cheating) than put the time and energy into YOURSELF so you can be like Bill.
In 1 specific scenario on the planet, Fred might be able to trump Bill. But even then, Bill will still be the one with the style and grace and confidence because he knows the answer is within him. Bill knows that it doesn't matter that he doesn't know the answer before he's seen the problem because he knows he'll get it. Fred on the other hand is Shlttlng bricks! Fred thinks he knows the answer, but what if one of the number changes? What if a new equation is put in front of him? Fred KNOWS HE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING.
In real life you should want to be like Bill. Of course you don't want to go to school and study math, but you do want to know who you are as a person. You want to be comfortable with yourself. You want to be alright with being alone. You want to know that it's not about your height (because it isn't), it's not about your body fat percentage, it's not about your clothes, your hair, your opening, your kino (w.e. the hell that is), it's about you as an individual.
And guess that the beauty in all of this is?
The beauty is that when you work on yourself because you genuinely want to be a better man, you start exhibiting the characteristics of someone who people want to be around! Including women!
I know this because I went through it myself. I have a lot of confidence but it's genuine. It's not because I have a beautiful girlfriend or no acne or great clothes, it's because I know that I am the best me right now. And you can give me acne, you can put me in rags, you can put me somewhere I know nobody and I'll still have the confidence I do because I know my potential, I know my true worth. I know I'm not buying the girls attention with a fake tan or expensive car, etc.
It took me a lot of work. Probably about 1 year of depression after a horrible break up from a 5 year relationship, and then another 6 months to where I am today. I thought a lot, read a lot of books and articles about psychology and self-help and love and this and that and I finally learned that the secret to it all is not about how the world sees me, it's about how I see myself.
The best part is that when I finally accepted myself for what I was, when I found my purpose, when I let go of what I wanted and held onto who I am supposed to be, my life changed.
I stopped coming across as needy, dependent, insecure, etc. But it wasn't because I was dressing better (I have always dressed good, even when I was depressed) and it wasn't because I stopped having acne (I'm 24 and I still have acne, wtf?) and it wasn't because I lost 50 pounds (I've always had a great body).
If your motive is to pick-up more women, you might, but your search will never end. If your motive is to stop being so nervous when you talk to women, you might by learning tricks on here, but your search will never end and you'll never get to the root of the problem.
Quit taking short cuts. Quit trying to be like Fred. Be like Bill. Work on yourself. Find your true calling in life. Learn to love who you are. What are your talents, abilities, gifts?
I remember thinking a year ago how I'm social and hate being alone so trying to learn how to enjoy being alone was a lost cause...but my thoughts were those of being in denial. The truth was that I was depending on others to prove my self-worth. Having a beautiful girlfriend would have made me feel better (temporarily) because the beautiful girlfriend would've confirmed to myself that I was valuable because she was with me...But with that thought process I was never going to get anywhere.
It wasn't until I started to really focus on myself when things changed. And I mean really focus...not just say I want to focus on myself so I am then in a better position to meet beautiful girls...
Now I am ok being alone. I am ok being rejected because I know that the rejection doesn't lower my worth. I am not afraid to fail because the failure will not make me lesser of a man.
Your motive will determine whether you fail or succeed.
