Well its been a long time since I posted and even longer since I read these forums, so please forgive me if the community has heard these ideas and moved past them. I know nothing new can be said about PUA but sometimes it helps to hear something a second or third time.
There is a world famous martial artist named Earl Montaigue, a practitioner of lethal tai chi. Modern tai chi is about relaxing and keeping a clear mind while practicing a set of movements that circulate chi. Earl Montaigue moves the focus more toward letting go of conscious thought, getting in touch with the inner animal and using terrifying insanity to overcome the opponent. He also teaches us to always be attacking, to only step forward in a conflict and break the enemy's pattern of attacking. Bruce lee prescribed something similar. When you throw a punch your hand is relaxed and you are calm for most of the swing, but at the moment of impact you become a screaming, wild-eyed madman. Too bad I am not more of an expert on Bruce Lee, I would love to see a post applying his wisdom to PUA because I'm sure there are a lot of parallels. A conversation is like a fight, a woman will push (give a sh!t test) to try to put you on the defensive. When you play chess, sometimes someone will move their knight forward early in the fight, with no purpose in mind except to assert control in the game. Well Earl Montaigue tells us to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, when the enemy attacks you do not defend, instead you ATTACK.
As a child I was very shy and insecure. My father was the same way (though i didn't know it) and now my younger sister has the same qualities, including very rarely laughing out loud, never making eye contact. A lot of this is the way we are raised and our own insecurities, but I think some of this quality is genetic too. It took a long time for me to overcome the fear of being judged, but the path I took was one of acting crazy and developing a reputation for being a madman. I would lie in the street as though dead to see if people would react or stop their cars. I would go into stores and act like an idiot to annoy/amuse the clerks there. I used to throw vegetables and rocks at cars to cause accidents. When I play basketball or even ultimate frisbee I play ROUGH, very rough and I cheat like hell. When I'm coming at you on the field, people get out of my way because they don't know if I'll throw the disc or throw an elbow. When I play poker I will play it safe on a straight and go all in on a pair -- I am hard to beat because I'm hard to predict.
So when I feel nervous or self-conscious, I will scream like a psycho infront of everyone, hump a tree or do a hand-stand. Maybe slap myself in the face or sing a song at the top of my lungs. I will do anything to break that mental state and become anything but shy.
Superego is the symbolic internalization of society's rules. When you violate your superego you feel ashamed, but I have changed my superego over the years. I used to feel ashamed when I made a social blunder, farted in public, or was rejected by my peers. I was ashamed of my weight and the size of my penis. NOW my superego tells me not to give a god-damn, to never conform and to never submit.
I have completely rambled away on this post, so I'll try to summarize it. Everyone has the potential inside to be a maniac and most suppress this force. You don't need to be afraid of the madman, just keep him next to your heart and let him drive once and a while. When people let society or their own insecurities dictate how they act, its unattractive to women. It shows weakness. When you let the madman drive you are making your own destiny, saying "F*** YOU" to social expectations and her opinion of you. Not every woman will find it attractive, but you'll have transcended fitting into any mold and be a better man for it. You don't get upset and lash out when she give you a tough time, because you've already started to dance or drink or fight, or gone to the bathroom to write dirty limericks on the wall.
Well anyway, I hope this post was at least an entertaining read, maybe if you read it you can give it a little bump. I'd just like it to be on the first page for a day or so.
Now I'm going to go on a trip to Central America for three months. I'm going to the most dangerous country in Latin America, to learn how to cook snakes and butcher iguanas and bang out some Spanish poonani.
