"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

HB: "Are you a Pickup Artist?"

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

DJD. I haven't seen Wedding Crashers, is there community exposure in that film?


Basically, I don't really care that some of the techniques are being spread and that more people are reading them. What worries me is the amount of exposure this is getting in women's groups, Mystery has been profiled in Calendar, Elle, Marie Claire, and more. Style has been on The View. I even heard of either Mystery or Style doing Oprah, which would kill any anonomity for either of the two communities (SoSuave & mASF). Over-exposure doesn't expand the game or bring it to the mainstream, it kills it.

HAHAHA, I love this narrow minded view some of you guys have......you think this stuff comming into light will kill the whole pick up scene......Idiots, guys have been picking up women for years, and here is a little secret for you.....it doesn't matter if you use a direct or non direct approach.......girls know your hitting on them......shocking I know but true, your job isnt to hide the fact you are trying to pick up on them your job is to remain interesting enough so they want to spend more time with you. If you are worried about getting shot down because some chick saw some interview with style or some other great pua then your game is no way near as strong as what it should be. You go on about being alpha males well this is the time to prove it.......I am not trying to flame anyone or start some big argument but come one guys you should all be above worrying about some tv interview or a book.
Now to the title of this thread, I have been asked that question a couple of times as well as some chick just saying "are trying to pick me up?"
when I get asked if I am a pick up artist I look the girl straight in the eye and say some thing like "yes........so you better be interesting or I am moving on"
The other question "are you trying to pick me up?" I replied "yeah I am.......but lets be honest.......you are having a ball"
I didn't shy away from the question I played with it, the girls loved me cause it conveyed so many good things.....think about it.

What you guys are missing is that some techniques are overly specific. A woman knowing you are hitting on her is very different from a woman knowing you are using a neg to lower her social value in the circle and that you are moving through such and such rapport stages before you reciprocate AIs, etc. A lot of techniques we use into building rapport lose value if the girls know what they're intended to do. Like I said, the girls who accused me of being a PUA still gave me their numbers, so I'm not that worried. But once the game gets overexposed a lot of our tools will begin to lose power, and that bothers me.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Spoilers alert.

Yes there is one. Both Own Wilson and Vince Vaughn got their ideas of crashing weddings and bedding the women there from a so called pick up artist guru played by Will Ferrell. Its a tounge and cheek fun movie on picking up women at weddings but there are many ideas in that movie that WILL actually work if you plan to sarge in someone's wedding.

HAHAHA!

I love that response.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Techniques

The techniques are not nearly as effective if a woman knows exactly what you're doing and that you just read some book telling you how to do-it.

Even if they know you're a BSer, they want to believe you're somewhat original. Now, even if yo make something new up before long they'll THINK you read about it online even though you didn't.

I don't know how to explain it but it's sad because this stuff really does work. I'm fclosing girls right and left off hotornot. So far none have known anything.

Her asking you this is a sh*t test...
Agreed. It's just another barrier a woman will put up.

if a girl was to ask me that, I would say
"NO I'm not a PUA. I'm a pimp. I just left my fur coat and gold chains at home. As a matter or fact, why don't you work the corner of main and abercrombie tonight? I'll have a customer pick you up."
****y/funny is definately the way to go with this.

Her: Are you a PUA?
PUA: Absolutely! I try different and more artistic ways each day to pick up my dirty socks!

Her: Are you a PUA?
PUA: How did you know I airbrush pickup trucks for a living?

Her: Are you a PUA?
PUA: No, I'm a pickle artist. I carve sculptures out of pickles for a living.

I was going to suggest "No I'm a con-artist. Want to buy a bridge?" but the pickle line is funnier.

I had a recent lay in the last couple weeks where during the debrief, she asked me if I had ever heard of Mystery. I played dumb but I think she knew.

She had read about him in a magazine, and since I was peacocked when I met her and I used some of his tactics, she knew. Didn't stop me from rocking the sarge and closing it on Day2, but it was weird nonetheless.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
