Mental Masturbator’s Guide to PU
(or…An Over Analysis of Over-Analysis)…

Congratulations; you have found the community that links most pick-up artists the world over. You are now in a position where you can make solid changes to your life and have the very real potential to mack hotties the way you’ve always dreamed about.

You lucky b***h!

But believe it or not…another pitfall awaits all of you, especially those who wish to learn this fun Game we play (that never gets boring, only better). This trap so awful you can end up stuck at the base camp where you first came into this lifestyle. Forever!

And that’s just it…

PU is a LIFESTYLE. It’s not about just asking a girl for a number in a certain way, it’s not a set of funny routines you employ to eventually get into the knickers of a highbrow girl. Its not about developing an “incredible sense of connection” with a girl you just met.

These are just TOOLS that someone with a better understanding of the Game thought of before you to suit their own personality. Many guys will try and learn every tool available to them so increase their chances of meeting up and closing HBPornThreesome.

New guys’ll learn NLP stuff, then they’ll learn DJ tips and tricks, and maybe try and perfect Jugglers method of approach. They’ll sit online for hours at time, reading up on every practiced technique available, mentally masturbating about how good they are. Indeed, they’ll know their s**t.

But in reality they become armchair PUA’, keyboard jockeys and worse…. Mental Masturbator’s.

They’ll know so much about the tools in the Game they could realistically teach theory on it. Perhaps even sit a degree in it. We all know of guys in our network that will happily strip down & debate every aspect of a new PU technique or method to a level that would scare a grad school geek. Knowledge is addictive because it is power….especially in this Game. There’s no better feeling of knowing something the next (AFC) guy doesn’t.

How many of you sit in a coffee shop and hear an AFC try and run Game? You can HEAR every mistake he makes; and you sit there and think “ha…if only he knew WHAT I knew…! AFC Dork!!”

Well you know what? While you were ‘having a five-knuckle-shuffle’ by judging that guy’s external methods of PU, chances are that guy is coming closer to laying HBPornThreesome than you ever are. He is actually out there, in the field running Game and calibrating his own unorthodox PU style (even if he doesn’t realise it).

This Game is essentially two parts: INTERNAL (confidence & attitude) and EXTERNAL (tools you utilise to give you edge). Its all very well reading up on every great tool out there, understanding how it works and how best to use it…but if your inner Game is retarded then you are building on nothing…. You have nothing to use your tools on…..no matter what kind of expert you are.

By not approaching sets until the perfect one appears, you are NOT developing your own confidence, improving your attitude and knowing how to run your own Game. It is not a lifestyle. It is FAKE! When the perfect set does appear…you’ll lack either the confidence, panache or SKILL to succeed. You’re inner Game will not mirror your outer Game.

To put it another way…
Imagine you knew everything there was to know about a gun. How to clean it, how to load it…even how every little spring and coil fitted together inside it. You knew so much that you could reinvent and improve certain parts of it from the comfort of your own home. Now do you think after spending years studying it you just pick it up and hit a target on the bulls eye every time? Like f**k you could.

Mental Masturbators are really “DJ Academics”, and CAN actually bring new ideas and concepts to the tools of the Game. They know it so well. Yet it will be the true PUA’s who try and use these methods that ultimately succeeds…not necessarily the guy who thought of it. Academics know everything so they really don’t want to miss the target and discover that their skills are not up to the job. They’re afraid of missing…because it would devaluate everything they had learnt.

Without an internal Game, something which you can apply and relate to….every technique is practically useless. I remember the first time I properly went into set. I bricked my pants. A BIG shock for me… But how could this happen?? I thought I had learned EVERYTHING. The trouble is YOU still don’t know YOU! You only find out how you will react, is when in set.

I know it is the case because it is my own experience. Not because I have creamed on over 180 separate posts by other guys that were recycled from 4 or 5 original comments.

When I started the Game, i too was a Mental Masturbator (~All online AFC’s are to start). I knew stuff about the outer game that helped improve my inner game to a point. For a limited time, a “fake-it-‘til-you-make-it” approach worked with me. The success I got in closing girls (spurned on by boldness I acquired from kidding myself I had game) should have been used to springboard my internal Game FURTHER. But I didn’t let it. The initial ‘money shot’ felt sooo good.

Instead of going out and sarging more girls, I got complacent. Then I lost the psyche to approach. I had proved to myself that I could do it and that was enough. Mental masturbation followed…and maybe some of the real the real stuff too. That would’ve been my fate…until I was lucky enough to actually hang out in the real worldwith with guys who knew their stuff. I found that what I thought I had learnt had no use in the real world. Basically because I couldn’t back it up. It was painful. I bombed out of sets continuously, but in doing so I actually began to RE-LEARN OLD STUFF…but this time in the field.

What a difference!

Learning in the field is a thousand times faster than to learn online…I know because I’ve done both. What you learn becomes internalised. But you need the balls and your INNER GAME to be up to the job to do it. The big jump in my own progress in PU came when I gained confidence to approach and then put my brain under the stress of being in a set. All my best routines and openers aren’t learnt off of a forum. I develop them on the streets and in the clubs, because they suit my personality BEST. They work for me because my attitude is behind them…and that’s what counts.

Many techniques of outer Game concentrate of trying to convey you as a person are actually more “alpha” than you are, by demonstating token alpha traits and attitudes. You'll find that if you actually develop these habits through their own Internal Game, to begin with, then they will show up more naturally without you even having to consciously think about them. If you live and breathe alpha = you will become alpha.

Outer Game tools (the porn of the keyboard jockeys) allow you to polish this along even further and refine little glitches to give you the edge even over the alpha’s (your competition).

Take the Croatian PUA “Shark” -for those of you unaware, he has a PU style all of his own that he developed from crashing and burning time after time. He breaks every f***ing Pick-Up rule out there…and still lays hotties. How come? His PU method is a lifestyle that mirrors his personality. It is alpha and congruent with who he is. He isn’t fake and he gets laid. He doesn’t over analyse........every.........little......detail..... He has the attitude and confidence to succeed. His outer Game and tools are complimentary to this…and they suit him best and work for him. I wish I had the skill of this guy…and I’ll only get them if I work for them-not if I read about them.

It is tempting to familiarize yourself with every conceivable method out there. You want to develop the best arsenal to take out into the field, right? Well while you sit and read…some other guy is out there and adapting stuff to suit his own personality and getting his inner Game sorted to build it onto. If you want to get the attitude of your inner Game sorted, then get into the field and practice don’t think that by jerking yourself off it’ll happen.

Then you can talk about refining your outer Game to give you the edge.

Great post. I used to be the "mental masturbator" you mention, I read everything on this forum and I did nothing else. I have been practising a bit over the last few weeks and the situation has changed a lot.

Last night I went out with some friends. After the dinner we went to the disco, and a woman touched my ass. I looked at her and told her smiling "hey, watch up your hands!!!"... she FREAKED OUT!!! She went before I asked her number, the situation was just unexpected and maybe I didn´t react well, I don´t know...

But I didn´t mind. I went with my girl friends to dance, and at the end of the night I told the one I know less that I was going to go. But she told me she wanted me to stay, and she did it twice. But I went after a very funny night.

I don´t know if I did very well in every situation I had to face last night. But what is certain is that it was the best time I have been out at night. And that maybe I didn´t make out with any girl, but I am going to keep on working because I see potential.

Again, good post.

As I reread it, I think this should be a HoF post. This is a stage that most if not every aspiring DJ goes through and someone finally put it into words because most people shy away from talking about those that learn but don't act. Most tips are on how to get confidence...

After reading this awsome post I feel strange. Like all the things I know dosen't matter. Over the period, that I have visited this site, all of the PU I made were the kind of PU an AFC would make almost every day. Like I knew the DJ lifestyle, but I was afraid touse it .

Just now I finally got confidence. Not the fake one, but the real deal. And do you know how I got it? Not by hanging out here at Sosuave, but by partying with my friends and being the worst AFC I could be (Not taking my chances with some hot chicks and stuff like that). And one day at school, I simply realised that I've got it. I finally got confidence. I stuck me like lightning.

Now finally I am ready to become the real DJ, not the book worm. Wish me luck, friends!

5 stars, amigo.

Ah it's so much like boxing. I punched the bag all the time was exellent, I looked like I could knock anyone out. First sparing session I destroyed the guy who was heavier than me. The next week I spared some1 twice the power of me and destroyed my ring confidence. from learning in the ring though made me a far better boxer.

Fabulous post, Mukester. Entertaining with lots of substance.
You make good points.

One of the primary reasons its so important to get out there is so that you can develop a PU style that fits YOU. For example, my friend Nick is a total @sshole to girls. He's a pretty-boy frat-guy, and CF comes naturally to him. This works great for him.

That same method does not work for me. I can't attain that same level of @sshole-ishness and come off as authentic, but I CAN make those indescribable "incredible connections" with girls right off the bat.

Two very different methods that work just as well, but if he tried to use my method, he'd look like a bozo and vice versa.

Aside from that, you learn about a BILLION times faster out on the field, as Mukester said. And you will have actual experience to vouch for. If you tell all your friends that you are master DJ, they will laugh at you, no matter how AFC they are, unless you have actual experiences to back what you say.

So hit it, fellas. Don't become complacent! Don't settle!! Be hungry.
